A STORMY EXPERIENCE.

Three or four buss loads of young
people of our schools together with two
or three teachers, Misses Spencer, Van
Deusen aud Marshall, went out TO c.
NJ. Slayton's in Grattan Saturday after
noon TO have merry time and skate
on the lake. They arrived about the
time the big storm arose which spoiled
their fun except the good time had at
the house accorded them by the hospi-
tality of Mr.. and Mrs. Slayton. AT
eight o'clock they started on their re-
turn home although the storm had
increased in such fury as to make the
journey dangerous. The big buss con.
tanning fifteen tipped over near Mr..
Bookey's, but fortunately no one was
seriously hurt. Gertrude Wilson re-
ceived a slight injury about the eye
and one of her wrists, and 'Puss"
Webster's neck was wrenched a little
while Miss VanDeusen received a
scratch over the eye. The whole load
were badly shaken up however, and
they all piled out, some breaking
through the side curtains into the
binding storm. 1t was impossible to
get through with the buss and it was
decided to spend the night at Mr..
Bookey's, who made it as comfortable
as possible for the unexpected visitors.
Some were obliged to sleep on blankets
and buffalo robes on the floor.
About this time Clayton Clemens ana
Sumner Wilson with their ladies came
up in rig, the boys having had to
walk most of the way leading their
horses. They managed to make a
couple of miles farther when they con-
cluded to hail a farmer and turn ia for
the night, which they did at Mr.. Nc
Nett's. Two of the loads arrived home
after severe battling with the storm at
about eleven O'Clock that nigntx but
the others were obliged to abandon
their buss and make their way home
the next morning through the heary
drifts on runners The young pope
can not say too much in praise OF the
good farmers who took them in. 1t
was an experience they will never
forget.

encore; song by Mrs. Friedly who
accompanied herself with the guitar.
A short musical guessing contest was
INDUCED in after which the guests
sought their partners and with few
words OF blessing from the Rev. b. V.
Child all were soon seated at the beau
tifully spread tables which fairly
groaned beneath the weight of good
things TO eat, while the beautiful prim-
roses here and there served TO beautify
the tables. After doing ample justice
TO the banquet the guests proceeded to
the enjoyment OF the evenings pro-
gram.
Mrs. II. A. Lamb, president of the
club, was toast mistress Of the evening.

tains her membership in the club
The speeches by the ladies were
above the average showing the value
Of their club work, while those of the
gentlemen, equally as good, showed
cOnclusively that they needed no club
work. 1t was with regret that the
pleasant company separated and e.
pecially difficult was it to persuade the
gentlemen to go home at all. knowing
that "A year must elapse ere they would

MORE BLOCKADE
Southern Cuba and Porto Rico

Southern Cuba and Porto Rico
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The pre-
sidert has just issued a proclamation
declaring a blockade of Southern Cuba
and San Juan, Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON, June 2S.---The ex-
tension of the Cuban blockade pro-
claimed by the president today shuts
off 500 miles of coast from all com.
munication with the rest of the world
and puts an end to the entry of food
and other supplies by way of Jamaica
and Central American ports. Ports on
south of Cuba include are the 1sle OF
Pinea, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, and Man.
zanillo. Cape Frances, just west of the
Isle of Pines, :and Cape Cruz being the
southernmost extremity of Cuba below
Msnzanillo.
.rhe formal announcement of the
blockade of San Juan recognizes the
existence of condition which was al
ready created week ago by the ar
rival of the st. Paul off that harbor. 1t
is taken to indicate that San Juan will
be made to suffer deprivation after the
manner of Havana before its mbard-
meut occurs,

AT MANILA.
The Situation Has Changed Some
what.

Tile Situation Has Changed Some
HONG KONG, June Pa vessel
which left Manila early Friday last,
June "a, has arrived here. She re-
ports that the Spaniards have given up
all idea of surrendering everything. 1t
is indicated that another big battle be-
tween the combined land and sea forces
will be fought within few days.
The change of front on the part of
the Spaniards was caused by the belief
that the Germans will prevent the
Americans from going to extremities
in their bombardment of the city. The
Spaniards, when the ship sailed from
Manila, were very busy with prepara-
tions to resist attack. 1t is reported
that the German wsrship Deutschland,
with Prince Henry of Prussia on
board will soon arrive at Manila.
Aguinaldo has removed his head
quarters from Cavite to linus, in order
to allow the American troops to occupy
the former place. Every precaution is
taken to prevent Aguinaldo from as
sassination, in consequence of the price
on his head.
LONDON, June 2S.-A dispatch from
Manila to the News this afternoon says
that the German fleet will surely pre-
vent the Americans from bombarding
or capturing the city,

NATIONAL ERRORS"
Senator Wellington Speaks His
Mind.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Wellington steadfastly opposed the
war. Last night he said: 1.-THE se-
riousness of the.wsr with Spain has not
yet been realized by the people of the
United States. We are just beginning
to get taste of actual war. l thank
God 1 was not a party to this contro-
versy. Everyone knows I did every
thing in my power to prevent war.
We started in to whip Spain, and
drive her from her true and lawful
possessions in the western hemisphere.
This was an error. We said our OBJ
ject in going to war was purely huma-
nitarian. We lied. Error number
two.
"We disclaimed any intention of &C
quiring territory. Another lie. For
this is q war of conquest pure and
simple.
"We started in to take Cuba: we
struck the first blow at Manila. An
other error.
Looking conditions squarely in the
face, we have entered into q war of
conquest To me this is as plain as
sunlight. The government of the
United States has broken away from
the traditions of the fathers, and q
policy of imperialism reigus''

meeting the Baptist session in this
city today declared Rev. DR.. Daniel S.
Potter guilty of conduct unbecoming q
Christian minister. The points in the
finding were undue familiarity with
women, lying, and business dis
honesty. Several ministers

A BLUFF WON.
Spaniards Fled Before a SklrmiSh
Line.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Richard Har-
ding Davis, writing to the Herald,
adds some de tails of the fight in Liqua
nina. He says the action was finally
won by a piece of pure bluff. The
Spanish position was an old ruined dis
tillery, shut in by impenetrable BUSH
es. In advance of the bushes there
were hundred yards of open ground
covered with high grass.
At the edge of this grass Col. Ladd
ordered the line to cease firing, rise,
and charge across. The men did so un-
der the heavy but fortunately mis-
directed fire of the Spaniards. 1t look
ed to the Spanish like line thrown
out in advance of a regiment, Spanish
style.
Tne Spauiards could not believe that
so few men would advance with such
confidence unless they were supported
in force, so they turned and ran. What
looked to the enemy like an advance
line was every man the colonel had at
his disposal.
At the place where the two trai 9
met, and on ground that the volun-
t. ers had won from the enemy, the
bodies of the heroic dead were placed
side by side in q deep draw. Above
and below were leaves of the royal
palm. The place of each body was
carefullp recorded, and the spot itself
clearly marked.
No man could ask to lie in a more
lovely place. 1t is the highest point,
and off to the left the valley could be
seen for many miles around.
The regiment stood in close ranks
about the grave. and the shrouded
figures were lowered gently into the
earth, the chaplain calling out the
names of each. He called the name
of mule packer, a salesman, a cow
puncher, and last of all Hamilton Fish
Jr. the young sergeant who went to the
front to die, and whose watch bore the
crests of Alexander Hamilton and
Nicholas Fish, and the motto ''God
will give"
"God gave him noble death"-a
quick and painless death in the first
rank of battle-gave him q noble bu-
rial, by the side of his men, in soil they
had won from an enemy, and which
they had died to free.
