MARCH ON SAN JUAN.

The very latest news from Porto
Rico is to the effect that the troops
under Gen. Miles are marching on
San Juan, the capital of Porto Rico,
from three sides, and as a result the
Spaniards on that Island that have
jumped into San Juan for the purpose
of making q final stand in the island
city against the American troops; are
in chaotic condition, because they do
not know from which side they will be
attacked at first. Any one of three
divisions is in condition to overcome
the entire Spanish army on Porto Rico,
and together with the sea attack by
our ships, the capital town would soon
be in our hands.
All along the entire southern coast
march of the American troops the
Porto Ricans have turned over the
keys of the city to the American
troops. Their brass bands, their fire
departments, their municipal officers,
and the like, have all turned out to
welcome the army of the great eagle
of the north, under whose wings of
freedom we are to have protection and
freedom" as one of the mayors, in his
manifesto, eloquently put it. The
bands played Columbia and the Star
Spangled Banner, while the people
and municipal officers have shouted
Vive los Americanos. 1t was more q
march of triumph than march of
battle.
In Cuba all of the regiments that
participated in the capitulation of San
tiago, are being sent home, on account
of the yellow and other fevers, and the
immues from the south have departed
for the purpose of taking their places.

Our friend, Jerry j, the noted
North Star and North Dakota success
full political guesser, appears to be
very much put out over the fact
that The GAZETTE stated that
William Henry Eustis was being
talked of as the senatorial candidate
two years hence. He is certainly be-
ing talked about as such q possibility
all over the State, and there is certain
ly no man who could get up more
enthusiasm among the masses in a
canvass for that position than could
VIM. Henry Eustis. Jerry j, how
ever, don't want to see Mr.. Eustis
spoken of as q senatorial candidate
until after he is elected governor.

sions, Admiral Dewey has enforced
strict blockade of the harbor of Manila,
the insurgents, believing that the
American Republic was to break the
shackles that tied them to the cruel
and decaying Spanish monarchy, have
arisen, and are battling for freedom.
Since that time American sentiment
has changed. President Mckinley
has but to glance over the daily pa
pers, read the editorials and inter-
views and contributions, and he will
find that the sentiment of to-day, with
the exception of the very people that
we're crying for peace at any price be-
fore the war commenced, is in favor of
retaining the PHILIPPINE Islands. To-
day, this is the sentiment of progress
sive American papers, of laymen, and
of that great band of clergy who are
preaching the laws of God-the laws
of freedom.
To relinquish an inch of the archi-
pelago to Spain-the cruel country
that would massacre the inhabitants
of the land relinquished, would be q
step backward from the onward march
of liberty and of civilization that Des
tiny has placed 10 American hands for
safekeeping. 1t is our privilege ~
yea, our duty-a duty imposed upon
us by a higher power than there is on
earth, to retain those islands and
spread the gospel of truth, of civiliza
ton, of education and of freedom oyer
the land that has remained in dark
ness during the centuries of Spanish
rapine and conquest.

On last Saturday evening Miss
Charlotte Schmahl terminated ten
years. service with The GAZETTE, dur
ing which time she has acted as q
composition, society reporter and all
around utility "man." During that
period she has not only developed in
to one of the swiftest compositors in
Minnesota, but has been a faithful
employee, on whom the publishers
always relied, and when the work was
the heaviest her excellent work at the
case, in the local field, or in the press
and mailing rooms, made the burdens
of newspaper work the lighter for the
publishers. That her future career as
a wife may be as pleasant to her and
her husband as her career on The
GAZETTE has been to the publishers is
our earnest prayer.

James X. Jones, a windy statesman
from Arkansas, who has record of
talking longer time without saying
anything than any other man in the
United States senate, except Allen of
Nebraska, states that the enemy in
Minnesota is disorganized and that
John Lind will be elected. Jones has
made predictions before, and in 1896
he was a bad failure in that business.

REPUBLICAN, TICKET.

A number of the papers that were
opposed to Senator Days six years
ago are now stating that there is no
opposition to him, implying that any
Legislative nominee by the Republicans
will have only him to vote
for. This was precisely the
condition six years ago, and yet when
the legislature convened for electing a
senator, Senator Davis only had ma
jority of one. This year we do. not
want any McCleary or Merriam SYM
pathizers. We want to send man or
men to the legislature who is known
to be for Davis, first, last and all the
time-no second choice.

DEsTINY's IMPOSED DUTY.

When Admiral Dewey gained his
magnificent victory over the Spanish
feet down in Manila Bay, aud the
news was flashed around the globe,
the American people, hardly able to
comprehend the dazzling details,
called upon our great statesmen for q
solution of the problem as to what We
were going to do with the islands of
the archipelago. Then, the almost
universal sentiment was, that the
American Republic, with all it's
grandeur, did not want the PHILIPPINES.
Since that time nearly 10000
American soldiers have placed their
tents on the Spanish Asiatic possess
