Prof. Dobbyn, of the Progressive Age,
puts the case in nutshell in the follow
ing antithetic style: Eustis thinks state
issues should be postponed for two years;
Lind thinks they are the only issues to
be considered in state campaign. Which
do you think right? Eustis asks every
voter in Minnesota to stultify himself by
voting meaningless vote; Lind asks for
the enfranchised citizen to be man and
vote his convictions on the issues that af-
feet the interests Of the people Of Min
nesota. Eustis fears campaign con-

this he shows his sagacity Lind has an
immense advantage over Eustis. He is

Cewera was in Santiago.

Tampa, F'la.-Major w. ID. Smith,
formerly of Gomez's staff and now in
the service of the United States, re-
turned this afternoon from a secret
visit to Havana. He was in the city
five hours and in the province forty
eight hours.
He reports that the Spaniards have
provisions enough in Havana to stand
a siege of six months, and that they
have an army of 100000 well-trained
men assembled in Havana and Ma
tanzas and fully 10000 patrolling the
northern coast. He believes it would
be foolish for the American Govern
ment to send an expedition of less
than 10000 men to Cuba.
The Spaniards are eager for cam
paign against the American troops,
and are confident of annihilating any
small army sent against lnem.

Ond Regiment of Pennsylvania ell

change was made in drenchng rain.
The Pennsylvanians went away
bOasting that they have the distinc-
ton of being the first volunteers to
see actual service, and with truth
they say they were the first to smell
powder. Indeed, they have smelled
so much powder that they have be-
come used to it. 1t is not known how
long the Jerseymen will be stationed
here. The fact that a permanent
oven of large capacity has been built
indicates that troops will remain here

TO GOVERN PHILIPPINES.

Gen. Merritt Expects to Hold the island
Under Martial Law Until the War Ends.
Washington, d. C.-Major-G enera
Merritt, who is to go to the Philip
pine Islands as military governor, ii
expected to govern them under mar
tial law until Congress decides whal
shall finally be done with them.
There is little doubt that they will be
permanently held by the United
States. In view of the jealousy eX
listing among European nations many
Senators and Representatives believe
that it will be more difficult to relin
Qush control of the Philippines thar
to hold them.
In view of this belief some consider
alton is already being given to the
problem of devising a civil govern
mcnt for the islands when the war is
ended. The extension of the terri
torial system of the United States te
the Philippines is out of the question
as it will be a great many years be
fore the inhabitants are capable OF
any degree of self-government
The proposition that seems to meet
most favor is to have the government
of the islands administered by o
board of three commissioners, to be
composed of two civilians and one Off.
Ger of the United States army, as in
the District of Columbia. When the
number of Americans in the islands
increases sufficiently very limited
form of government might be intro
duced, to be expanded in the future.
Tariff taxes are to be collected by
military authority and are to be
turned into the treasury of the United
States. AS the war progresses, the
; system of collecting taxes Is to be ap-
piled to such Spanish territory as may
be occupied, thus compelling the con
Quered territory to aid in defraying
the expenses of the war.

The general scope of the new policy
was developed to-day when the Presi-
dent directed the enlargement of the
Ian force of the nation to more than
a quarter of a million lighting men
and issued orders for the future
guidance of the commanders OF Du,n
land and naval forces the details of
which for obvious reasons cannot be
disclosed. 1t can be stated in Il gen
eral way, however, that the pro
gram of the administration contcm-
plates these operations
1. The destruction of the Spanish
war fleet in Cuban waters, or any
other fleet Spain may send over to
fight.
.. The invasion of Cuba and Porto
Rico as soon as the way has been
made clear for the safe transport of
American troops to those islands
3. The occupation of the Philip
pines by an army three times as great
as that first intended for that service.
4. The adoption of offensive meas
ures in both Cuba and Porto Rico and
the unrelenting prosecution of the war
until the Spanish government has re-
called its armed forces or the Ameri-
can troops have driven them out or
destroyed them.
3. The ending of the war before the
end of summer
The plans indicate in the most IN
Wistakable manner the determination
of the President to adopt the most
aggressive means that a great army
and efficient naval force can inau-
gurate. All plans are in a measure
contingent upon the operations of the
fleets. News of an engagement is
momentarily expected. The President
expects Admiral Sampson to obey his
instructions to find and destroy the
Spanish fleet. He tonight expressed
the belief that meeting is bound to
take place soon.
Il guess we will hear from Sampson
soon" he said to one of mis- advisers.
"If the Spanish admiral were in San
tiago Bay we should have known the
result by this time The only way |
can explain the silence of Sampson
is that he wants to finish his work
before reporting to the Department"

Berlin, Germany. evidently in-
spred article in the Post says at is de-
cared semi Officially that the recent rumors
as to the transfer of the Philippine Islands
TO France or to Germany, or to their par
tition among the European powers with in
terests in the far East, have no foundation
whatever. America is not yet in possess
sion, it Is true, and it is quite possible she
may never occupy them. But any laying
of hands on the islands at present would be
a hostile act against America, nor would it
be tolerated by tho other Eropean powers
having interests there" This utterauoe
may be taken as explicit proof that the
Continental powers have come to an agree
ment on the subject to await further action
by America.
