but later dispatch affirms that the
Spaniards "have VIGOROUSLY repuised the
enemy"

A dispatch from the Governor of San
tiago de Cuba says:
1.-The attack on Sboney (Sabana) ana
Baiquiri continued until nlghtiall. Inc
enemy was repulsed, except on the lett'
at Baiquri where the Spaniards We're
obliged TO retire, in consequence OF a
Ranking movement upon the part OF the

MADRID, June %, 4 p. M.-The Minis
ter of War, General Correa, it is an
nounced has received an official dispatch
from Santiago de Cuba, announcing that
1.-THE Americans " first attack on Puerto
Berraco had been repulsed, after a hard
fought and bloody engagement.
Puerto Berraco is situated snort dis
lance from Baiquiri, where the United
States troops landed yesterday. 1t is
nearer the coast, and, therefore, more
completely under the guns Of the Ameri-

that it is highly improbable that the
army has been repulsed, as announced
in Madrid.

THE NE SECRETiRI

It is expected at the Interior
Department that the newly ap-
pointed Secretary, Mr. Hitchcock,
will assume charge of the Office
during the latter week in January,
Secretary Bliss has worked hard
during the past month to get the
business of the office in shape to
turn over to his successor any
time after the beginning of the
new year. 1t is said at the de-
partment that the work is nearly
up to date, and the Office in better
shape to turn over to new head
than ever before. Secretary Bliss
has infused into the office Of secre-
tary of the interior sisce he has
been in charge the same up-to-
date business methods that Away 8
characterized his efforts in the
business world. And while he has
been all interchangeable worker him
self he has required those about
him to keep pace. At the same
time he has endeared himself to
those under him, aud every one,
from the humblest charwoman to
the highest subordinate chief,parts
with him reluctantly. One of the
last acts of the secretary was to
repeat his annual custom of pres
enting every official under the
5000 per annum grade with fine
fat TURKEY. ..

THE RAILWAY C.ASE.

After many q months work and
thousands Of dollars expended in
securing expert testimoney, the
famous North Dakota railroad
rate cases were decided by United
States Judge Amidon last Friday
in favor of the railroads. The de-
cision is concurred in by United
States Judge Thayer.
Pursuant to law enacted by
the last Legislature, the railroad
commissioners made a slightly
reduced freight tariff. The rail
roads obtained an injunction in
the United States Court prevent
ing the enforcement of the rates
Judge Amidon then appointed
Attorney Lowell of Casselton g
special master to take testimony in
tho case.
Attorney General Cowan and he
devoted practically all entire yea,
to the cas-, assisted by number
of exports. The decision is to the
effect that capital has a right to
proper remuneration, and North
Dakota failed to show that the
railroad rates do more than YIELD
a proper income on the capital
invested. All the roads in the
state had Joined in the contest.

UNDER the latitude allowed in
debate when the house is in COM
mlttee of the whole Representative
Williams, of Miss, made a strong
speech against the annexation of
the Philippines, which he declared
would be mistake, whether view
ed from social, political, or a
material standpoint. Frequent
applause from his democratic COL
leagues showed which way their
sympathies were. After stating
that the islands should not be re-
turned to Spain, Mr.. Williams
said: II should leave the islands
where they were the day after
Dewey's glorious victory atManila.
l should haul down the American
flag. I am for the flag for what
it means, not for itself. 1t is
nothing but piece of bunting;
and when some one announces
that it must not come down, I care
not bow high his station. he says
something unworthy of himself
and his country. The flag should
come down if it is right that it
should do 80, and the American
people must pull it down. We
would not let any other country
do it,

AMONG the contemplated enact
ments of the Legislature is new
militia law, looking to the amend
ment of the present provisions for
the organization of the state guard.
The idea is to make the North
Dakota law uniform as far as pos
sible with the national provisions
for the militia, and the new three
battalion formation of the state
troops will make some changes
necessary. Another change which
it is argued would be for the bene
FIT and harmony of the service
would be to MAKE the staff officers
more directly responsible to the
commandment chief.

.dNTI-IMPERI.ALIS.N.

Senator Gray, one of the peace
commissioners, says he voted for
commissions terms of peace with
Spain only to prevent what would
be a chatic condition had not
peace been thus officially declared.
But he is opposed to this nation
talking the Philippines as colony.
and declares that the terms were
dictated from Washington and
that the commissioners had no
choice in the matter, Senator Gray
thinks the treaty will be ratified
and then favors absolute independ-
ence of the Fillipinos. Senator
Davis opposes this policy and be-
lievss In holding our authority by
force.
Many leading men believe that
our colonizing and holding the is
lands under military rules will
moan the abandonment of the path
of national safety, and an entrance
into the uncertainties of European
complications which have been
strongly opposed by nearly every
one of the great presidents. Wash
ington, Jefferson, Monroe and
many old time statesmen deprecat-
ed this policy when the question
came up during their administra-
tons, and especially any alliance
with any freight power. Today
such men as Senator Hear, ex-
Senator Edmunds, Andrew, Car
negie, and host of others equally
we'll informed, oppose tho plan of
extending our trade relations ut
the point OF armament with any
people. A French army expert
declares that if this country con-
sumates the proposed plan of the
present administration it will re-
qui1e standing army Of at least
100000 men, for homo aud foreign
service, Senator Edmunds points
