Cervera Fooled.

1t now appears that during the
days of doubt and uncertainty while
the Spanish fleet was lodging around
in southern waters, this government
was following a more definite plan Of
action and possessed better informa-
ton than the public knew about.
This is now disclosed by the follow
ing dispatch from Key West under
date of May 30th. Everybody
knows now that SPANS flying
squadron. four splendid cruisers and
two torpedo boat destroyers are inn
prisoned in Santiago harbor. This
fact has been known here for
forty-eight hours and speculation
now is over the,probable disposition
of the Spaniards, whether they will
be blockaded or the forts reduced
and the vessels compelled to fight.
In thelatter case there can be but
one result, for Schley has some of the
finest ships in the world, to. say moth
ing of cruisers and various smaller
vessels.
1t il now known that when the
Spanish admiral sailed for the West
Indies he expected to enter San Juan
for coal and supplies. On touching
Curacao for news, his plans were up
set by the receipt OF dispatched tell
ing him Sampson had bombarded
the San Juan Notifications and was
still in the neighborhood OF Porto
Rico. Thereupon Ceryera sailed for
the south coast OF Cuba. Why he
entered Santiago harbor instead OF
the harbor of Cienfuegos is not
known, but the American command
ers were inclined to think the Span
iards would go to the latter port.
1t is certain that Ceyera could not
have escaped from Santiago without
being discovered, for, American
scouts have not been far away. San
tiago has been blockaded, for the
scouts have been prowling about the
port ten days and other scouts have
not been far nway."

Impressive and unusually patriot
ic services on Memorial day are re-
ported from many places. For the
first time since the day was set apart
for observance, the country is at war.
The thoughts of all people in this
country were directed more forcibly
than ever to the day and to hegray
haired veterans who are left to rep
resent that great army of vOlunteers
called out by President Lincoln. To
them the call of President Mckinley
brings back the scenes and memories
OF their struggles in early manhood,
the blood courses through their veins
more rapidly, and many a one
heaves a sigh because he can not
again answer his country's call. But
they performed their difficult task
with marked success, and it is to be
hoped their patriotic blood and i'm
pulse will move the younger genera
ton on to a like grand success in the
present struggle for humanity.

or For Ciba.

Tuesday the news came that the
soldiers were being mooved TO Cuba,
and the invasion campaign had be-
gun in earnest. Twenty five trans
port ships had been secured and were
ready to begin moving troops.
These ships would carry about 30
600 men and their equipments. The
transports of course will be convoy
ed by some OF Sampon's battleships.
The first landing was successfully
made by the steamer Florida on
Monday, and Others were to rapiI.y
follow. These land forces will act in
conjunction with Gen. Gomez and
his insurgents.

An Am erican named Chas. d.
Smith, recently arrived at Chicago
with his Cuban wife, reports horrible
cruelties by the Spanish soldiers at
Santiago de Cuba. Hesays the re-
concentrates are being starved and
butchered. All Spaniards think that
they will conquer in this war, and
are firmly convinced that the map
makers purposely or by mistake
made the U. S. appear larger than
Cuba, when it should be the reverse,
and Spanish officers actually discuss
how they will invade the United
States. War will open the eyes Of
many people who know very little OF
the United States and our resources.

tory for the Spaniards on land; the

BOnbarding Santiago.

Yesterdays dispatches announce
that Commodore Schley is outside
the harbor OF Santiago bombarding
the batteries. Cervera's boats made
one or two attempts to get out, but
were compelled to go back into the
harbor. Just what the American
commander will attempt to do Is
not known. Some think he'll silence
the batteries and attempt to go in
to the harbor and engage the Span
iards, while others believe he. will
sink hulks in the narrow channel
and keep the Spanish boats in there.

Time has scattered the snowy

love which can meyer fade. Oh, yes,
she is the dear old mother. Her
sands of time are nearly run out, but
feeble AS she is, she will go farther
and reach down lower than will any
other on earth. You cannot walk
into midnight where she can not see
you; You cannot enter a prison
whose bars shall keep her out; you
cannot mount a scaffold too high for
her to reach up that she may kiss
and bless you. In evidence OF her
deathlass love, when the world shall
despise and forsake you-when 1T
leaves you by the wayside to die un-

Spanish Opinion.

Various Eastern paper are print
ing what purports to be extracts from
Leading Spanish papers in regard to
the American people. OF course We
cannot say whether or not these are
actually extracts from Spanish pa
pers translated to English. But they
are unique production any how,
and are given for what they are worth:
One Spanish paper is quoted as say
ing that all the troops of this country
are in the ia west, many thousand
miles from the Atlantic coast. "To
utilize this force it must be brought
to the seaboard, and there is but one
railroad by which it can be trans
ported"
Another Spanish paper suggests
that the Spanish feet run over to
this country and lombard Chicago.
Still another paper declares that
the southern states have been await
ing another opportunity to rise in
rebellion and that Consul General
Lee, who was soldier in the late war,
according to this paper, will lead the
confederate states in another upris-
ing. me
A fourth papersays, or is quotad
as saving: "News is brought to us
that Buffalo Bill. a notorious outlaw
and leader OF a band of half-breeds
has risen against the American gov
eminent and is burning towns near
his birthplace in New York.
"Magginly is a naturalized China
man, having deem born at Canton"
says another paper, referring to the
president.
The Diaro is quoted rs saying:
"The average height among the
Americans is ) feet 2inches, and they
have never produced an athlete.
This is due to their living almost en-
tirely on vegetables as they ship all
their beef out of the country, so
eager are they to; make money.
There is no doubt'that one fullgrown
Spaniard car defeat any three men
in America -!
This country is described as fol-
lows: This country is not fit to live
in. The climate is eXecrable. When
il is not sleeting or showing the heat
is almost unbearable. Avalanches
are frequent at all times and these
threaten the principal cities.
As for the people, besides the few
whites engaged in business along the
eastern coast, the remainder OF the
country is one vast plain, covered
with Indians, called cowboys, and
great herds of roaming cattle

come out of the inner harbor, suppos-
ing Schley to have gone elsewhere.
