Commodore Watson Ordered to Be Ready
to Sail This Week.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-Orders have
been given to complete all preparations
so that Commodore Watson's eastern
squadron may sail for Spain by the end
OF this week. Two of the colliers, which
are to accompany the expedition are at
Norfolk for the purpose of putting light
batteries on them. The officer in charge
Of the work estimated that it could take
two weeks more to get these together
and have them mounted. This meant
delay and an order has been given that
the work be completed this week, or
else that the colliers go without their
light batteries. The same view is taken
as to the condition of the ships. The
fleets officers would like to have the
ships bottoms scraped and considerable
overhauling done, but this means delay
and the disposition is here that to have
the cleaning and repairing done as well
as possible by the men on the ships SO
that everything would be in readiness
by the end of the week or soon there
after.

GEN. MILES DELAYED.
ORDERS MlSCARRY AND HE SAILS
FOR PORTO RICO DAY LATE,

Failed to Receive President McKinley's
sonnel of Porto Rico Expedition Left In
the Hands of General Brooke.
WASHINGTON, July 20.-Because of a
failure on the part of General Miles to
receive the orders the president pre-
pared late Monday to take command Of
the military expedition against Porto
Rico, that officer did not depart as was
expected, from Siboney. The mistake
was soon corrected yesterday morning,
and as a result of some telegraphic
messages that followed it was gathered
during the day that the Yale would
start last night. Contrary to the first
intention and probably without Gen
eral Miles seeking, the Yale is to he
conveyed by naval vessel that Ad-
miral Sampson has been instructed to
select from among the vessels of his
fleet. There is no doubt that the gen
eral will reach Porto Rico before the de-
tachment Of troops from Charleston.
Friction With Cubans.
War department officials feel that
they are fully justified in their decision
to retain practically all Of Shafter's
army at Santiago, by the press reports
that reached them yesterday Indicating
the growth Of serious friction between
the American forces and the Cuban
troops growing out of the latter's exclu-
sion from Santiago by Shafter's orders.
1t is felt now that the garrison orig
! inally proposed, two immune regiments,
would have been quite insufficient to
meet all outside Spanish force that
might come from Holguin or Manza-
milo and also to restrain the rapacity of
the Cubans. 1t is realized that the pres
ent situation is full of difficulty, and the
future is dark, owing to the disposition
evidenced by the Cubans to ignore or
refuse to be bound by the amenities of
modern warfare. This first symptom of
friction has suggested to the officials in
Vulnerable difficulties in the future. Of
course it would seem to be only polite
now to avoid any open rupture with the
Cubans, provided they can be kept IN
leash and not involve the United States
in the disgrace that would follow the

about two miles Santiago city shone

after the mines We're exploded.
Captain Cook of the Breoklyn is au-
thority for the statement that the former
Spanish flagship, Infanta Maria Teresa,
has floated off the reef On which she
stranded and that her heavy armament
was practically uninjured. The captain
also says this cruiser will surely be saved
and form ain addition to the United
States,h "a trophy of the glorious July 8.
The Cristobal Colon may be saved,
though a good deal depends upon the
weather, which is very uncertain at
this time of the, year. The crew Of the
Brooklyn regarded tho Vizcaya as
their particular enemy, since the time
when they were both present at Queen
Victoria's jubilee display, when there
was much comment aboard on what q
fight might have been expected between
the ships if they ever met. OF the four
big ships who were in Admiral Cervera's g
eet only two are surely doomed to
destruction. They are the Vizcaya and
the Almirante Oquendo, and these, as a
coincidence, were the two cruisers
which went into Havana harbor after
the blowing up of the Maine and were
moored neal the wreck of the United
States battleship in all the bravery of
paint, guiding and bunting, seeming to
gioat over the ruin caused. Surely"
remarked Lieutenant Commander Vain
wright of the Gloucester, formerly of
the Maine, '.this avenges the Maine.''
Speaking of the military victories of
July and 2, and of the naval victory
on July 8, Commodore Schley said SER
iously: "These victories may serve not
only to deprive Spain of her colonial
possessions, but to bring about a change
of frontiers in Europe. Spain cannot
get the terms now which she might have
had two months ago. What can she
hope for in six months more of such
warfare? Whom the Gods would des-
troy, they first make mad.''

lcountry surrendered indicated by dark

General Shafter and his escort accom-
panied by General Toral rode through
the city, taking formal possession. The
city had been sacked before they ar
rived by the Spaniards.
At the palace elaborate ceremonies
took place. At noon the American flag
was raised over the palace and was sa-
luted by 21 guns Of Captain Capron's
battery. At the same time all the reg
mental bands in our line played ''The
Star Spangled Banner" after which
President McKinley's congratulatory
telegram was read to each regiment.
The Thirteenth and Nineteenth regi-
ments of infuntry will remain in the
city to enforce order and exercise mu-
nicipal authority.
The Spanish troops are to encamp out
side of our lines.
General McKibbin has been appointed
temporary military governor. The
ceremony Of hosting the stars and
stripes was worth all the blood and
treasure it cost. A vast concourse of
10000 people witnessed the stirring and
thrilling scene that will live forever in
the minds Of all the Americans present.
A finer stage setting for dramatic cpl
sode it would be difficult to imagine.
The palace, a picturesque old dwelling
in the Moorish style of architecture,
faces the plaza de la Reina, the prin-
cipal square. Opposite rises the i'm
posing Catholic cathedral. On one side
is quaint, brilliantly painted building
with broad veranGas, the club of San
Carlos. Another building Of the same
description is the cafe de L'Avenues.
Across the plaza was drawn up the
Ninth infantry, headed by the Sixth
cavalry band. In the street facing the
palace stood a picked troop Of the Sixth
cavalry with drawn sabers, under COM
mand Of Captain Brett. Massed on the
stone tagging between the band and
the line Of horsemen were the brigade
commanders of General Shafter's di-
vision with their staffs. On the red
tiled roof of the. palace stood Captain
McKittrick, Lieutenant Nliley and
Lieutenant Wheeler. Immediately
above them, upon the flagstaff, the
illuminated Spanish arms and the
legend s'Viva Alfonso XIII" All
about, pressing against the veranda
rails, crowding to windows and doors
and lining the roofs We're the people of
the town, principally women and non
combatants.
As the chimes of the old cathedral
rang out the hour of IL, the infantry
and cavalry presented arms. Every
American uncovered and Captain Nc
Kittrick hoisted the stars and stripes.
AS the brilliant folds unfurled in gen
tie breeze against a feckless sky, the
cavalry band broke into the strains Of
'::The Star Spangled Banner making
the American pulse leap and the Amer
ican heartthrill with joy.
At the same instant the sound Of the
distant booming of Captain Capron' s
battery firing salute Of Fl guns drifted
in. When the music ceased from all
directions around our line came floating
across the plaza the strains Of the regi-

The Register Of Deeds.

The Register Of Deeds.
The UNION has on numerous occa-
sions devoted some space to re-
view of the excellent service being
rendered by our present county Of
ticials and endeavored to point out
the great benefits which Penning-
ton county has derived from its
present administration, but from
oversight or pure neglect it has CIV
en- little or no attention to the i'm
portant office Of register of deeds.
Last week The UNION took time to
hastily 60 through the books and
records in the above named office
and to say that their condition re-
flected the greatest credit upon the
present incumbent, Frank M. Lock
hart, would be far from doing him
Justice. 1t is safe to say that the
records of this office have never
been so ably kept up and SO neatly
compiled in the history of Penning-
ton county as during Mr. Lock khart's
term. But aside from this import
ant factor. the question might be
asked: What financial benefits
have been received from Mr.. Lock
hart S administration as register of
deeds?' The UNICN welcomes the
question. An investigation shows
that during the first II months in
which Mr.. Lockhart served the
county in this capacity lie has turn
ed into the county treasury nearly
$3.50 in cash, and he has 1898 yet to
check up. How does this sum
compare with the amounts turned
in by former registers? TIE UNION
found that under the republican ad :
ministration of county affairs this
office turned in to tho county treas
ury aboIt .iJ. t..i5 sum coming
from the last republican register of
deeds.
Patrons of the Office are unani-
nous in saying that they have never
before met with such courteous
treatment and such prompt service
as has been received at the hands Of
Mr.. Lockhart.
When he was nominated for the
office in 1896 many people in Pen
nington county believed that, while
an excellent citizen, he was not fit
ted for the duties devolving upon
such an official and The UNION, al
though it supported him most 10y
ally, confesses that it shared some
what the same opinion. We have
been happily disappointed in him as
an official and today we unhesitat-
ingly say that no Office in the coun-
ty is more ably conducted and no
more obliging and attentive official
can be found than Frank M. Lock-
hart, the present register of deeds.
If clean record and capable and eff
ficient service count for anything he
will be re-nominated and reelected
to the same office again this fall.

must maintain there military govern
ment in order to meet the responsible
Stes it has assumed to the civilized
world.
The personnel of the Porto Rico ex-
pedition has been left largely in the
hands of General Brooke and it is not
possible yet to give an actual roster Of
the regiments who will enter into it.
Navy Will Have Little to DO.
The president announced privately
that while ne date Of departure Of the
troops to be sent to Porto Rico from
Chickamauga had been fixed, he ex-
pected they would leave in about one
week. He is waiting q detailed report
from General Brooke recommending
what troops and supplies shoad be sent
from Chickamauga. The present plan
is stated to be to embark them at New
port News and Norfolk and those at
Tampa either there or at Key West.
The part the aeet is to take is based on
the theory that the campaign is essen
italy an army movement, the navy to
lend every support and assistance to the
land oparat :ons. The admiral is in
structed to aid the army movements by
dispatching conveys when required and
by covering the landing of troops.
As there is NO Spanish feet in San
Juan harbOr or other Porto Rican ports,
the navy has q limited field Of opera
Man. The reduction of the harbor for
tifeations will be the main work, but
this and all other operations of the
feet will be supplemental to the opera
tions conducted by the army.
The strategists. military and naval,
are agreed in the view that the taking
of Porto Rico is primarily military
undertaking and Admiral Simpsons g
orders are on these lines.
The navy department. is rapidly NOV
ing the large feet of auxiliary craft,
made up of merchant ships, large
ocean going yachts, tugs, etc., from At
lantic coast points to Cuban waters,
where they will be placed on blockade
duty, thus releasing the larger ships
for more active duty at Porto Rico and
the coast of Spain.

Not for a long time has the Sunday
school 80 an institution been handled so
absolutely without gloves as in Edward
Bok's editorial on "Ths Decay Of the
Sunday. School" In the March Ladies'
Home Journal. Mr., Box has evidently
studied his subject closely, and the re-
suit must have been far from satisfactory,
judging by the way he handles the entire
topic. In words which no one can mis-
understand, with sure aim, he pillories
the average Sunday-school, and declares
