Considerable opposition is devel-
oping against our taking military
charge of Cuba, after the Spanish
evacuation, and the matter is likely
to be heard from in Congress, The
opponents of the administration
program argue that we promised
that the Cubans should have gov
eminent of their own, and that the
promise should be put into effect as
soon as the Spanish get out. These
men claim that to garrison Cuba will
cost more American lives than the
war did.

COMMODORE WATSON'S FLEET.

Believing that the effect Of the ap-
pearance Of an American squadron on
the Spanish coast will be in direct
proportion to the strength Of the fleet,
Secretary Long and the Naval War
Board have decided to strengthen
Watson's command by an additional
armorclad and probably three Or four
protected and unprotected cruisers.
The matter is now subject of dis
cussion between the department, Rear
Admiral Sampson and Commodore
Watson, and now that the operations
against Santiago are concluded de-
cision will be reached, and the fleet
will be Immediately sent upon its
mission. It is the gossip Of the de-
partment that either the Iowa Or the
Indiana will be assigned to the eastern
squadron, with the probability in favor
of the Iowa. Captain Evans ship
was assigned to the feet by the de-
par tment, but, upon the recommend
alton of Rear Admiral Sampson was
detached because of the foulness of
her bottom. The Indiana is practi
cally in the same condition as the
Iowa, but the latter's speed is
greater. For this reason she will
probably be selected. It is believed
that the New Orleans, Minneapolis
and Columbia will be attached to the
eastern squadron, and the converted
cruiser, Prairie, may also be assigned
to it. If this should be done, Commo-
dore Watson will have under his
command three battleships-the Ore
gon, Massachusetts and IoWa-four
protected and four converted cruisers,
which will be able easily to dispose Of
all ships which remain Of the Spanish
navy. The department is making
arrangements to attach more golfers
to the eastern squadron, that it may
have an ample supply of coal. Seven
colliers, carrying 1000 tons, have al
ready been assigned to it, but this
feet will be increased. The formation
Of such large squadron means that
a more extensive program Of opera
tions is being outlined for Commodore
Watson to follow than was originally
contemplated.

full possession of Subig Bay, with the
exception of the large island control
ling the entrance. A strong Spanish
garrison occupied the island, he said.
The insurgents had captured the val
liable merchant coast steamer named
Philippians, and were using this trans
port in an attack which they contem-
plated making on Grande Island be-
| fore Admiral Dewey was called upon.
| It is reported that the German war
ship Irene anchored nearby, inter-
vened and prevented the insurgents
from using the ship. The insurgents
| then came to Cavite and reported the
situation to Chief Aguinaldo, who in
| formed Admiral Dewey.
Admiral Dewey, early on July Z,
despatched the cruiser Raleigh and
F., the gunboat Concord with emphatic
orders to Captain j. B. Coghlan to
take the island and capture the gar
rison. AS soon as the cruisers arrived
they shelled the principal points on
the island, utterly destroying the
and laying the torpedo station in
ruins. Captain Coghlan then sent
out launch with message to the
garrison demanding surrender. There
was no response and the Raleigh final
ly sent a six-inch shell through the
commanders house. The white flag
was instantly run up on the ruins Of
the earthworks. tCaptain Coghlan
sent Lieutenant Rodman of the Raj
eigh and Ensign Knepper of the Con-
cord with landing party to demand
absolute surrender. The Spanish col
onel, Rio, realizing his hopeless posi-
ton, made submission and gave up
his sword. The 500 men comprising
the garrison were made prisoners Of
war and their rifles were taken from
them. Forty thousand rounds of ann
munition and one Hotchkiss gun were
also captured. When the Raleigh
and Concord entered Subig Bay the
German warships left very suddenly.
Admiral Dewey's possession of Su-
big Bay defeats Germany's supposed
plans to interfere in the Philippines.
The plan was executed with great
dash and bravery, and its success has
surprised Germans and other foreign
ers here Although the attitude of
the Germa MS is still irritating, Admi-
raj Dewey is managing them with
great diplomacy.

| taken ccasion to commend the gener-
al excellence of the ticket for county
officers presented by the Democratic
county convention at Enosburgh
Falls last Thursday. 1t is unable to
give commendation to the platform
of principles adopted by that conven
ton in many of it's declarations, but
it can and does heartily and cordially
commend the following plank, which
is Enthusiastically step in the right
direction, a direction which will if
followed by the legislature of the
state do more than any other one
thing to enhance the progress and
prosperity of it's people. That
plank reads as fo llows
We favor better highways and recon-
mend state aid for the construction of
main roads as is being done in Massachus
! etts and other states.
| The method of extending state aid
| toward the construction and mainten-
| ance of the main thoroughfares of
the state has been adopted by Mass
achussetts, New Jersey, New York,
Connecticut, Pennsylvania and sew
eral of the western states. Where
ever it has been tried it's success has
been immediate, positive, unmistak-
able. The evidence Of this is found
in the continuance of the sys-
tenn, the marked improvements Of the
highways and the resultant benefit to
the people. In every instance the
ultimate effect has been a reduction
in the tax burdens levied for the con-
struction and care of the travelled
roads, with corresponding reduc
ton in the cost of marketing the pro-
ducts Of the farmers. In no single
instance has their been the least dis
position to return to the time worn
and time dishonored system of
''patchwork'' road working.
Even, however, if experience else
where had not proven beyond all
cavil the wisdom Of road construction
under the direction Of competent men,
aided by appropriations from the
state treasury, the experience of Ver-
mont in the past, the large sums
annually W asted in temporary repairs
would warrant the adoption Of some
method to prevent a continuance
along lines which have been practi-
cally valueless toward the mainten-
ance of good roads.
It is an unwise conservatism which
clings to custom, because they are old,
believe or effects to believes what
was good enough for our fathers is
goo for our sons. In no other
branch Of public policy is this method
adopted. To carry it out into effect
would put an end to all progress.
Good roads are necessity in Ver
mont in the interest of its chief in
dustry. Good roads cannot be had
in Vermont under the system now in
vogue. Good roads have been Sc
cured and retained elsewhere under
state aid and state supervision. Why
not in Vermont?

Mon TPELIER, July 12.-For the past
week hundreds of dead fish have been
floating down the North branch, and
various causes have been advanced
as to the reason. Yesterday DIR. I.W.
Park caught live fish and. took from
the outside Of its body in the vicinity
Of 500 insects for which no name could
be given. The doctor will examine
them with a view of finding out what
they are. They resemble the scale of
the fish and are quite lively.
EXperime ents were made by several
sportsmen last week at Rupert to test
the destructiveness of theMauser rifle
bullets in use in the Spanish army.
A woodchuck was used as a target at
a distance of 4, 800 feet. The bullet in
entering made a clean-cut hole less
than an inch in diameter, but on the
side on which the bullet made its exit
the flesh was wholly torn away, max
ing lacerating wound as large as
ones hand. The bullet appears
lengthwise when it strikes, giving a
tearing character that is really de-
structiVe.

Attention is directed to the follow
ing opinion of Z. S. Commissioner of
Internal Revenue under which it is
held that the checks of the State
Trearurer, the orders of the State Au
ditor, the soldiers orders for the 81
per month extra state pay, and other
vouchers of payments from the State
Treasury, are not liable to the two
cent stamp tax, viz: ''In the opinion
Of this Office neither the orders, re-
ceipts Or vouchers to which you refer,
nor the bank checks issued by the
State Treasurer in payment thereof
are subject to stamp tax under the
act of June Is, 1898, as they are issued
under the laws of the State and in the
exercise only of functions strictly be-
longing to the State in its ordinary
governmental capacity, within the
meaning of the exempting provision
Of section II Of this act.''

Judging by the learned comments
of some of the war correspondents on
the way in which affairs should be,
but are not, conducted by the gener-
|aIs and admirals in conn and, it might
not be bad idea, with the view of
bringing the conflict to an early end,
to place control in the hands of these
gentlemen of the pen, particularly
the "yallers,'' who would settle mat
ters very quickly-on paper.-HeT'otd.
