Chaplain DAILY of the FIRST South Da.

to Huron says among many interesting
things:
Last week | had three funerals in a
single day; two at the same hour in the

was a sailor from Honolulu, one was a
member Of the hospital corps of the reg

the afternoon the service was for a
private of the Minnesota regiment, and
was peculiarly impressive and beautiful.
To-day, September s, we buried Edward
Maucher, one of the boys from Gettys-

OF typhilltis. 1t takes about two hours
to go to and return from the burial spot;

chapter to the evidence discriminating
State Treasurer Phillips in the taking of
interest on state deposits. VIM. II.
Gilkes of:Chicago, formerly bookkeeper OF
the Dakota National bank, Sioux Falls,
makes affidavit that up to the spring Of
1896, when be left the bank, Kirk Phillips
was receiving interest regularly each
month on state deposits he placed in the
bank. And not only this, he kept an
open accout ia the bank which
goes to show that the deposit on which
he drew interest was there to be I'M
touched, no donbt for long periods at u
time, while he CLOSED over appearances
by keeping q smaller open account on
state transactions from time to time.
The Press says that it this is not enough
to convince any sane man OF Phillips
guilt In the matter it has more evidence
still to give in the premises. The ques.
ton now is not or the proof OF Phillips
guilt as that is and can be conclusively
proven to any candid mind. but whether
q majority of the electors Of this state
will say that such q man sheuld be
chosen chief magistrate Of this state.
1t is barely possible that there are such
sufficient number OF voters to elect such
a man but We do not believe it. We do
not believe that p~artizanship einbittered
even by hot political strife would in
tlneIce all republicans to vote for Mr..
Phillips ia this case and il 1t did they
have not enough votes in all to elect him.
He most certainly would not draw votes

the deficiency. Mr., Phillips, plitically,

Have You Heard
the Story

OF the man tina, got a feather in
his throat and was ''tickled to
death:' Here's a case about a
man who learned how cheap Tom
Carey sells Groceries and was SIM
ilarly afflicted. This case. how
yer was not fatal, we are pleased
to say. It's a mistake to say you
can't afford to buy your table sup
plies from Tom Carey. It's true,
his goods are the very finest and
freshest hat money, skill and ex-
perience can procure. but his prices
nevertheless are IN many instances
lower than you pay elsewhere for
inferior goods.

DEFENsEs OF cARTHAGENA.
Five Great Forts and Numerous Bat
teries. With More Building.


London, June sO.-The Daily Chron-
icle publishes this morning a letter
from Carthagena, dated June %, and
describing the Notifications there. The
writer says: There is great fort at
the summit of each of the five hills COM
manding the entrance TO the port, three
being quite modern. Besides these,
there are batteries at every point of
vantage, many constructed within the
last two months Numerous guns have
recently been mounted and fort build
ing continues with energy.
Altogether, an attack is not to be
lightly risked and that is why the ru-
NOR has gone about that the young king
will come home for his summer holt
days.
Il have just seen the cruiser Lepanto
in the harbor. l counted ten guns
aboard her, four of them very large.
Like the Alfonso XIII, she is unsea-
worthy Her foremost is being taken
down to relieve her of Is tons, and her
guns will be lightened. Behind her 1
saw big hulk, presumably the Cata-
lima. on the stocks. She could hardly
be finished in three years"
Proceeding to review the vessels at
the various ports destined to compose
the third squadron the correspondent
says: a month seems a short time to
prepare them, but l must admit 1 did
not think Admiral Camara's squadron
would sail so soon. Therefore, it is
possible that this collection of absolute
or unfinished vessels, may before long
be pushed INTO the water to keep the
ministry afioat"

BULLDOG AROUSED.
ATTACK ON SPANISH COAST.
Plan of Operations Mapped Out Fo
Commodore Watson.


New York, June pa special to the
Tribune from Washington says: The
naval authorities are manifesting the
liveliest anxiety to expedite the depar-
ture of Commodore Watsons raiding
squadron from Santiago, and urgent
dispatches were sent to Admiral Samp-
son today to have the Iowa and the
Oregon fully coaled and equipped to
report for their new duty before the
end of the present week.
BY that time the Newark, the aux
1llary cruisers Yankee, Dixie and Yo-
semitic, and the three Golfers Scandal
Alexander and Abernanda, will prob
ably assemble north of Porto Rico,
when a straight course for the Canaries
will be pursued. The naval refrigerator
ship Supply, loaded with fresh meat
and vegetables, will Immediately set
out for the rendezvous, in order that
the sailors of the fleet may be well fed
on their long transatlantic voyage
The department is also arranging to
send some fast Golfers across the ocean
to meet the fleet in the vicinity of Glib
raltar. about the middle of July.
1t is considered conclusive that the
main object of the squadron is to ia
flict punishment on the important city
of CadiZ, beginning with the lombard
ntent of its chain of forts at sunrise
some morning, by the Iowa and the
Oregon, and the destruction of parts of
the city by Smelling, after "a hours no.

SHYDER'S TROOPS HAVE SAILED
THREE THOUSAND LEFT TAMPA
FOR SANTIAGO.
Light and Heavy Artillery Taken
With the Expedition-More Will
Be Sent Within Few Days.

Washington, June 29.-The under
standing at the war department today
was that six transports carrying rein
forcements for General Skaters army
would leave Tampa today, going out
with the tide They consisted of about
5000 men, with their equipments and
subsistence. This is only small por-
ton of the achievements to be sent
to General Shafter, as at present de-
termined, and include a portion OF
Brigadier General Snyder's division
From the fact that they are in COM
mand of Brigadier General Randolph,
the presumption is that the artillery
batteries under his charge, or at least
a portion of them, also have been taken
with this expedition. There were six
batteries in all, under command OF
General Randolph, three of which were
of heavy and the remainder of light
artillery At Key West the transports
are to be met by a convoy of naval
vessels and escorted to Santiago. Other
transports are expected to return from
Cuba in a few days. and they will take
the remainder of the troops assigned to
reinforce General Skafter.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-06-30

Cadiz is advantageously located, from
an American point of view, for oper-
ations of this character, its chief public
buildings and valuable naval establish
ment being easily within range of the
guns of the two United States battle
ships and those of the Newark.
The auxiliaries Yankee, Dixie and
Yosemite, are relied on in this engage
ment to prevent torpedo boats from
approaching too near the battleships,
and in this work they may be assisted
by the rapid-fire guns already mount
ed on The Golfers.
1t is the intention of the department
to retain the heavy monitors in posi-
ton off Havana, Cienfuegos and per-
haps Trinidad, supporting a number of
the smaller auxiliaries as scouts, while
the fast yachts and light draught YES
sells watch the Isle of Pines, Batabano
and ManZanillo, where the water is
particularly shallow. Outside of this
inner blockade line powerful cruisers
will constantly patrol up and down the
coast. seldom out of signaling distance
of each other, and the scouts in shore,
and it is inconceivable that any assist
ance in the way of ammunition or food
supplies will be, able to slip through
this double Gordon and be safely landed.
