WHAT OTHERS SAY.
EMIT HARRITY, Il. V. Il.
" ashington Post.

Washington i'ost.
The New York Sun, esteemed in spite
of all, has something to say about the
passing of the Hon. William II. Harrity:
1T has been the melancholy duty OF
the Hon. Jim Jones, of Arkansas, who
holds the exalted post of chairman of
the Democratic National committee, to
inform the Hon. William Francis Harri-
ty, of Pennsylvania. that Mr.. Harrity
is no longer the representative Of that
State on the committee. To no purpose
did the dauntless Harrity vote for Mr..
Bryan. He has been dismissed. expelled,
bounced dropped, fired out. Gloom dar-
kles around the aureate-argentine states
man. His place on the committee is
filled to running over by Il memorable
man. Col. Jim Guffey, dearest of all the
sons of moonlight. We mourn for EIarri-
ty. Who will not weep for Harrity? We
rejoice for Col. Jim Guffey. Who is not
glad for GuffeyT'
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, has sur
vived so much of this kind of buzzing
that he will no doubt be able to dismiss
the present buzz with the usual slap and
''shoo hy.' Touching Mr.. Harrty, how
ever, the question is of a very different
kind. We remember that Mr.. Harrity
| achieved the Suns approval in 1896 by
taking sides against the party which had
honored and promoted him, certainly up
to the full measure of his deserts. The
Sun was greatly occupied that year III
praising and encouraging all Democrats
who followed Mr.. Clevelands example i'll

| ran, and the whole flock of cuckoos and
derelcts. That was n strange industry
| for the Sun to engage in, but it was pur-
| sued with the Suns characteristic vigor
| and efficiency. If Cleveland and his
small but serried band of disciples failed
| to improve every noble and exalted OPP
portunity that came their way, two years
ago, the Sun neglected to record it. If
they were less than perfect in any re-
spect whatever, the Sun closed its eyes
and tried to close the public's to the fact
/ But considering the matter as one of
party politics and party discipline, why
should Mr.. Harrity have been retained
as member of the National Democratic
committee when he was VIGOROUSLY out
of sympathy with the Democratic mass
! es with the Democratic platform, and
+ the Democratic cause? Everybody
knows that at Chicago he used his Off
| cial position to defeat the will of the
| overwhelming majority. Everybody

Skaters Forces Are Within Hfhe

Gen. Skaters Headquarters, Jurn-

Antonio, Jamaica, June 30.-Our troops
at one point are within three miles of
Santiago, and another division of the

From camp IT is impossible to observe
all of Gen. Linares' preparations for de-
tense, but the Americans express little
doubt that the Spaniards will make
desperately bitter resistance.

marched through the country toward
Santiago 10 signs of the enemy were to
be seen, although n detachment of in
fantry had n brief skirmish with Span
iards who had concealed themselves in
n thick underbrush. The engagement
was of little consequence. No one was
hurt on our side.

stretched along the main road to Santi-
ago for a distance of nine or ten miles,
while 5000 Cubans are securing the
country to the right and left of the city.

BLOCKADE EXTENDED.

Preside nf's Proclama ton.

Washington, June 2o.-By proclama-
tion the president gives notice of the
Intention of the government to as
sumo the formidable task of block
aiding about 500 miles of Cuban
coast-line in addition to the sec
tions already blockaded. This In
creases the extent of the blockade fully
fourfold, it having been confined here
tofore to stretch of little more than
100 miles on the north and the single
port of Cienfuegos on the south coast
of the island. The demands upon the
navy In the way of ships to patrol the
coast, however, will not be nearly so
heavy in proportion to the territory
to be covered as in the case of the in
itial blockade, for the reason that the
new blockaded coast-line lies entirely
within the great blight on the south
Cuban coast, in which the water is
generally very shallow and the ports
are few into which q vessel of any
draft could enter. The most impor-
tant of these ports are Manzanillo,
Trinidad and Tunas.
West of Trinidad is Cienfuegos,
which Is already blockaded effective.
". From that point westward for
nearly $40 miles there is no point to be
blockaded until Batabano is reached.
