HAVANA, May 25.-(Via Vera Cruz,
Mexico. May 3O.)-The news of the ar
rival at Santiago de Cuba of what is
known here as the first division of the
Spanish fleet has considerably lightsned
the hearts of the Spaniards and the
news has been received with great re-
joicing. The feeling of satisfaction is
all the more intense as it is hoped the
Spanish warships will soon enter the
harbor of Havana, after which uniting
with the second division of the fleet
under Admiral Camara, it is believed
the naval forces of Spain will attic mpt
to strike decisive blow at some port
of the United States. At least this is
the view Of the situation taken by the
Spanish authorities here. Havana and
the rest of the island of Cuba, so far as
heard from, is officially pronounced to
be entirely quiet, and the inhabitants
profess themselves to be longing for an
encounter with the forces of the United
States

Agent, Hamlin, Iowa

Mr.. and Mrs. Theo. Gearhart and
Miss Lily Crees, of Nicola, have been
visiting the past few days at the
home southwest of the Station and
also at the Harry Percy home at
Hamlin. The latter part of the
week they will visit with friends at
Extra before returning to their
abode at Nicola.
During heavy windstorm in the
spring of 1896, it will be remembered
that the old Liberty pole at Hamlin
station was blown down and badly
splintered. 1t was suggested several
times to have it replaced but nothing
was done until recently. The matter
was placed in the hands of commit
tee who have secured new pole and
a large flag. Saturnay afternoon the
pole will be raised amid appropriate
ceremonies and Old Glory will wave
before the breeze once more. All
who are interested in this matter are
cordially invited to be present.

be made in Fall River, and the secre-
