Bishop Hall calls upon his devout
head a ponderous cloud of adverse
criticism from every point of the
compass by the remark in recent
lecture that sin itself, playing for
really small stakes is not wrong
Well, this is really a fine question of
th,cs. l have PLAYED croquet with
a real girl for a stake of a slice of
cake in my pre-baldheadcd days
and saw no harm in anything but
the cake. But, l think, in order to
corner and shorten discussion that
the Bishop had better fix the limit.

The developments of the next few
days may end the Cuban crisis and
determine whether it shall be peace
or war with Spain. The report of
the naval board of inquiry will prob
ably be sent to congress next Mon
day and meantime the president, it
is said, is still undecided how to act.
showing ii hesitancy which perhaps
the gravity of the situation demands.
SPANS savagcry in Cuba has aroused
feeling of Indignation which can
hardly be confined to any one coun-
try or people and any attempt to put
an end to it, which on the part of
the United States would probably be
sharp and decisive, will find some
justification on the grounds of hui
manity. The hurried preparations
for war are significant in their Sc
robustness and mean that the worst is
expected, though war is to be entered
into only as the last resort and there
with the feeling it is entirely justif-
able.

The White River Junction Land
mark and the Randolph Herald and
News fall in for Col. Smith of St.
Adams for governor. The Herald
and News questions Gen. McCul-
lough's genuinencss as Vermonter
and the Landmark takes up with the
St. Albans man because it prefers a
man "born and reared in Vermont"
and who is ''faithful to the interests
of the people among whom he has
resided since his BIRTH" McCul-
Tough is not in the swim. 1t takes a
generation or two of intimacy with
the workings of the Republican
machine to get a hold on the Repub-
lican nomination for governor and
Gen. Mccullough is doubtless be-
coming aware of the fact thus early
in the campaign. Then Col. Smith
is young in years and for this reason
the "young Republicans" are going
to adopt HIM as their candidate and
assist in pcrpetuating what is worst
in Vermont politics and what is OPP
posed to everything that tends toward
progress and reform. There will
not be any political housekeeping
in Vermont this year, but in the
present drift of Republican politics
the Democratic minority can put up
contest that will make more diff
ficulty IN succeeding campaigns the
continuance OF the abuses from
which the state suffers.

1t is an appalling story of misery
and suffering that Senator Proctor
brings with him from Cuba, but he
has rendered a great service in max
ing known to the world the true con-
dition of affairsc. He made a
thorough investigation of existing
conditions on the island and the re-
suit is plain, practical statement of
the horrors of the situation that
shows the reports of suffering and
starvation there have not been eXag-
gerated. The truth is known now.
There is very little more to add; it
seems as If spanish cruelties could
90 very little further. Starvation
seems to I've SPANS chief weapon
by means of gradual eXternl-
nation that enlightened government,
o., its representative on the island
hopes to keep the upper hand o.
the Cubane, method of warfare Ina
must soon bring protest from the
civilized world that will not stop
short OF intervention and which will
result in the freeing of Cuba from an
oppressive, cruel and tyrann ical gov
eminent.

GUANTANAMO
OVER A MONTH WITHOUT WORD
FROM THE WORLD
Heard Nothing of the Recent Battles
or Surrender-Spanish Troops
Fire on an American Launch

PLAYA DEL ESTE, Guantanamo bay,
July 16, 6 p. MA steam launch from the
Spanish gunboat Sandoval came down the
bay this afternoon flying the French flag.
The French consul at Guantanamo was on
board, as was also the Spanish bishop of
the Catholic church at Guantanamo. They
had q conference with Commander McCalla
relative to the removal of the INDECENT
French subjects from Guantanamo to the
French cruiser now In the harbor. Their
request was refused until the number of
persons to be removed was definitely
known.
The French consul said that there has
been absolutely no communication at
Guantanamo with the outside world since
July7. He was greatly surprised to hear Of
the destruction Of Admiral Cervera's fleet
and the surrender of Santiago. The later
news and the terms Of the surrender, in
volving the Guantanamo forces, will be
communicated to the Spaniards at once.
A launch from the cruiser Marblehead
while scouting along the west shore OF the
bay this afternoon near the mouth Of
Guantanamo river was fired upon by q
squad of Spanish pickets guarding the road
In that vicinity. The launch replied with
her one-pounder, and a lively fight resulted.
The Marblehead threw three shells from a
six-pounder into the woods and the fire Of
the Spaniards ceased suddenly. The launch
was not hit.

couldn't see thing, and the concussion Of
the guns and the knowledge that W. were

The cat and I were very badly frightened.
I guess the cat was worse than I. But,

uncontrolled, he trembled and bleated un-

The Detroits goat was drawer. He had

firing was going on and the shells were
whirring over him. he remained absolutely
quiet. But whenever there came a lull
he capered madiy about. There 10 off

composed during all the confusion. HIS
friends among the crew say he was inter-
ested, and was watching the battle with
critical eye, and that his subsequent ca

at Its results. His detractors contend that
he was paralyzed with fear, and that when
the noise ceased the spell was broken, and
he gave vent to his feelings Of terror by
his wild antics.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

and they believe It Ii wagsd from the

the contrary, while no one denies their bra

points have been agreed upon with the
Washington authorities. 1t Is understood
Spain will evacuate Cuba, the Americans
