ton toward the fund with which Spain
is trying TO put her navy in better shape

emperor seemed rather strange later

Austria's court circles: Francis Joseph

than had formerly been manifested.
They figure IL out In Germany-some
Of them do-that our war with Spain
is going to establish a new order OF
things. transfer Europe's balance Of
power. cause new alliances and all that.
Certainly, the American people are not
giving a thought to anything OF the
sort. What we propose to do is to put
the Spaniards out OF Cuba because they
are a nuisance there and because Cuba
is our next-door neighbor. This work

All Safe Up to Date.

~HE Oregon didn't run INTO
trouble; the announcement of
her arrival at Rio de Janeiro
is welcome news for Sunday morning.
Early last evening the Standard bulle-
tins gratifying announcement was that
the good ship was at a station on the
South American coast hundreds of
miles north of the point where 1t had
been feared trouble was brewing for
her.
Spite of the assurances given by
those who are supposed TO nov most
about the chances which ships of wal
take, a feeling of uneasiness prevailed
respecting the oregon. The first in
formation that awakened anxiety was
the announcement that the Spanish
gunboat Temerario was at Buenos
Ayres. waiting to intercept the oregon.
The more recent report was that the
Temerario had gone out Of the harbor,
the surmise being that the oregon
would touch at a coaling station e
Montevidio and hat the Spaniard's in
tention was TO take the battleship I'M
awares.
Those who insisted that there was no
cause for anxiety pointed out the fact
that the Oregon made a direct run
from Callao TO Punta Arenas, in the
Strait Of Magellan, and that IL she
coaied there she would probably not
touch at Montevideo at all, but keep
on to Rio de Janeiro, under her hurry
orders. so that looking for a needle in
a haystack would be easy compared
with an undertaking of the Temerario
60 nnd the Oregon somewhere off the
mouth of the Rio de Ia Plata, as she
passed north.
These people guessed It right. The
Oregon is far north now of the lurking
place of the Spanish gunboat and. as
far as known. the splendid battleship
can move on without fear of inter
ruption TO the place where she will
strengthen the feet that is investing
Havana.

TT appears that the president had Sc
lected General Grenville NJ. Dodge
to be senior major general in our
new army and that the General has
been excused. The plea OF age which
he urged certainly is a good one-he is
sixty-seven year old. He was a husky
man approaching middle life in the
days OF the civil war and. as a member
OF the volunteer army in h a a he
did his full share of the fighting. He
started out as a colonel and finished
with the rank Of major general. Early
In the war. at Pea Ridge. three horses
were shot under him and he was badly
wounded. He saw service under Grant
in the western campaigns and always
distinguished himself. He was severe
ly wounded again In 1864 and was a
long time recovering, but he went at it
again and never stopped TIL the war
closed. The West knows General
Dodge. He was chief engineer of the
Unien Pacific and built hat rail-
road.
