Thou who ordainest, for the lands salvation
Famine, and fire, and sword, and lamentation,
Now unto Thee lift our supplication-
God TIE Nation!
BY the great sign, foretold, Of Thy appearing
Coming in clouds. while mortal men stand fearing
Show us amid this smoke of battle, clearing
Thy chariot nearing.
BY the brave blood that foweth like river.
Hurl Thou a thunderbot from out Thy quiveri
Break Thou the strong gates! Every fetter shiVert
Smite and deliver
STAY Thou foes, turn them TO derisfonf--.
Then. in the biood-red Valley Decision .
Make the land green with Peace as in a vision
or fields elysian.

The editor of this paper spent nearly four

to go to war. He wants the young men Of
this generation to be spared the necessity
of Offering their lives. That is why the
Register has upheld the President through
out this long controversy. War must come
only as a last resort. That last resort now
seems at hand. We regret 1t, we still pray
that il may not come. but if it does come
let there be no mistake about the size or

ANOTHER BIG
BATTLE EXPECTED
Belief that Sampson Will Meet the
ENEMY Near Porto Rico.


Enemy Near Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Nothiug has
been received today by the admins :
tration to indicate without question
the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet
which left the Cape Verde islands on
April 29th, ard proceeded in wester-
ly direction.
The belief of naval strategists that
the enemy had in view the interception
of the Oregon and Marietta has not
that the government would not be
surprised if the expected attempt to
overcome the American ships occurred
near the eastern extremity of the
West Indies instead of the Brazili-
place of greatest danger for the big
battleship and the gunboat.
While officials of the government
W 40 know the plans of the naval cam
paign will of course not.give out any di-
,ct Information there is every reason
to believe that Admiral Sampson is
proceeding to Porto Rico with
q view to nesting the
Spanish Cape Verde fleet in that
vicinity. Noimportsnce is attached
in naval circles to the report that the
Cape Verde fleet has been seen some
where off the Barbados less than two
days. run from Porto Rico. At the
navy department it is said that these
vessels are probably Spanish cruisers
and gunboats which ran away from
Cuba to escape Sampson's ships.
Sampson is supposed now to be after
the big Spanish armoured cruis ers,
and the expectation here is that an
other big rnaval battle will be fought
tomorrow or Monday.

TWO DISPATCHES,
Some Information Withheld from the
Public,

Some Information Withheld from the
Public.
WASHINGTON, May There were
two dispatches from Dewey: one was not
made public. 1t told that the Amer
lean commander had cut the cable but
the reason for this action was not
explained. The reason that would
probably be given by the commander
for severiog communication is that he
wanted to keep the enemy from sending
or receiving advices to aud from Ma
drid.
The second dispatch also told
that the American ships did not
have enough men to form an adequa te
landing party. This Information was
the b3s's of an immediate conference
between the President, t,Secretary Long,
and Secretary Aleer abont sending
troops to Manila at once.

HELP!
CRIES HAVANA,

Spain Has Deserted BIancO in His Hour
of Need.
KEY WEST, May News comes
direct from Havana that the people
are becoming more greatly incensed
against Spain every day because she
does not send the Cape Verde squadron
over to make an effort to lift the block
ade. Capt Gen. Blanco forwarded q
message of most urgent character to
Madrid, but received only semi satis-
factory replies. The inhabitants of
the beleaguered city are so wrought up
that demonstration at the capital is
being planned.

IN THE NAME OF THE AMERICAN PEO-
PIE.

ment and overwhelming victory. In recogni-

That Has Been Told of His
Magnificent Victory.

WASHINGTON, May 7.--Commodore Deweys Of
fca report to the United States received
in Washington at o'cIock this morning.
The report says that the American Asatic squadron

little injury.

ROOSEVELT'S
SUMMARY,

Dewey Commands the situation But is
Waltz G for ReiufOrcements.
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Assistaut
Secretary Roosevelt, after reading
Dewey's dispatch, said to the w. P.
A. correspondent: dewey evidently
holds the bay of Manila. He covers
the town with his guns and is waiting
for reipforcements.

EXPURGATED.
Roosevelt Told What His Superior
Suppressed.

Suppressed.
WASHINGTON, May THE des-
patch from Dewey given in these dis
patches was brought out of the private
office by Secretary Long and
read by him to the crowd
waiting in the hall. There
were twelve typewritten lines in the
dispatch but the Secretary read only
four. He expurgated the references
to cable cutting ard to the lack of
forces to land at Manila, which the
message contained. This he probably
did for prudential reasons.

New Grades.

The Minnesota railroad and ware
house commission held its annual
meeting for the revision Of grades and
added two new grades on account of
new demands created by more extern
sive mixing. A description of these
grades is contained IN the following re-
port of Chief Grain Inspector Clausen,
which was adopted.
In case of the admixture of winter
wheat or Northern white wheat with
Minnesota grades of Northern spring
wheat, or with each other, and such
admixture is in excess of per cent, it
shall be graded according to the quail
ity thereof and classed as Nos 1, 2, 8,
ETC., mixed wheat, with inspectors no
tations, describing its character.
The grades Nos. 1, 2 and Chevalier
barley shall conform in all respects to
the grades of Nos. 1, 2 and barley,
except that they shall be of the Cheva-
lier variety grown in Montana, Ore
gon and on the Pacific coast.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

o. s. Department of Agriculture,
Minnesota Section, Weather Bureau
On the evening of the 14th there were
severe local storms in Polk, Isanti and
Yellow Medicine counties; in Polk and
lsanti counties, hail accompanied the
storm, causing damage to standing
crops over large areas; in Yellow Med
lclne county the storm seems to have
been tornado in character, causing
considerable loss of life, and great de-
struction of stock, buildings and crops.
In the regions where harvest is over,
stacking has advanced well during the
dry part of the week, and in south
eastern counties it is finished. Thresh-
ing from the shock has gone on during
the driest weather There are COM
plants in some sections that barley Is
colored. Considerable fax is being
cut Though the nights early in the
week were rather cool, corn is matur-
ing nicely; the acreage in this crop Is
larger than ever before in Minnesota

regimental sigh of relief as it laid it
self down to sleep the first night. The
new location is appreciated by the of
fcer and private alike, and is infinite

depths of shady grove, are fast get
ting better and feel rejuvenated. Col
Leonhauser has made arrangeme
for bathing in the Minnesota river. A
non-com. will take charge of a squad
of men, armed with soap and towels,
and daily baths will be taken under
his direction. The colonel is be-
lever in the adage that Cleanliness
is the next to Goodness and he is try
