PATRIOTISM AT THE PARK.
Park City, April 19-When the news
arrived that the Cuban resolutions had
been adopted by the senate and house,
a patriotic wave swept over the Park
and flags appeared from many build
ings- TO hear the average citizen talk,
one would think that there is general
longing for war, which may be at
tributed not only to d desire to vindi-
cate the honor of the country, but to
the belief that in some way there will
be a relief from the local depression
here in Park City, where the closing of
the mines have made many men idle.
Mr.. John B. Ferguson, a member of
the National Guard, has rendered his
services as e soldier to John Q. Can
non, adjutant general, and expressed
the belief that he could raise a, COM
pany in Park City.
MT. PLEASANT DISSATISFIED.
Mt. Pleasant, April 1S.-There is a
great deal of dissatisfaction among the
citizens of this place regarding the
course pursued by the lower house of
congress and President Mckinley in
their treatment of the Cuban question
While the Democrats are the most Sc
we're in their denunciations and criti-
cismS of what they term the weak,
evasive and un-American policy pur-
sued, the Republicans with few excep-
tons view the matter in much the same
light. Expressions Of disgust have been
heard on every hand on the receipt OF
bulletins and newspapers giving infor-
nation of what was apparently the de-
sire of the administration to evade war
at any sacrifice. The action Of the SEN
ate meets with unqualified commenda-
ton.
VERNAL AROUSED.
VernaI, April 1.-THE action of con-
gress on the Cuban question yesterday
has aroused the people here to the
highest pitch of patriotic enthusiasm,
and the only thing one hears discussed
on the streets is the different points
that arise in connection with the situa-
ton There is a general feeling that
the president has hardly filed the
measure of his duty by turning the |
matter bodily over to congress with |
out more explicit directions as to the |
manner of settlement. People are Won
dering why the Maine affair is forced |
to the background. and are anxious |
that this great wrong to the American
nation ha riRhted
