HOW THE CABLE WAS GUT
Dragged From Its Deep Bed by
he Steamer Adria.
CERYERA Is NOW ISOLATED
No Longer Possible for the Spanish
"Glorious VictOries''-Fiye Feet OF
the Wire Is Hanging in Captain
Philips Cabin.

Off Santiago, June 8. via Kingston, June
! 11-Admiral Cervera was not able to send
| to Madrid his usual account of a glorious
| Spanish victory this time Five feet of
the cable, which had been wrenched from
its resting place 400 fathoms below the
F., in the cabin of Captain Philip. of the
| Texas. and attests this fact.
For five days the little cable steamer
Adria had dragged the water for miles
| east and west of the entrance TO Santiago
harbor without success. On the second
| day the Adria clutched the cable, but in
| raising it one of her steam winches broke
and she lost 1t. The work was kept up all
day and as far into the night as possible.
The Texas was assigned to protect the
Adria from possible attacks from the
shore.
On Sunday afternoon. about 4 o'clock
the Texas, which had been sent to the
other end of the line, while the Adria was
| dragging directly opposite the harbor en-
trance. was returning slowly when her
lookout suddenly discovered one of the
| Spanish torpedo boat destroyers creeping
out from undes the shadow Of MORO Cas-
| tie. 1t was the first time that one of the
| dangerous craft had been seen plainly
from the fleet. Her three tunnels and
mast were easily distinguishable and she
| looked altogether like a very ugly Gus
| toner to deal ~ith. She was headed di-
reetly for the cable ship. The Texas
| crowded on all steam, being about a mile
the cable and the torpedo boat destroyer.
As the Piuton or the Furor whichever
Il was. saw the battleship bearing down
| with her guns trained upon her she turn
ed tail and fed behind the shelter of the
| forts. If the Spaniard had had the nerve
she had plenty of time to make sudden
dash straight out. fire a torpedo and de-
stroy the cable boat, but she did not do II.
Probably she bore the fate of her COM
I
she was destroyed is correct
After this the Texas stuck close to thu
little Adria. At 6 O'Clock the winches of
of the Adria began to sing. and stem
torian voice hailed the Texas, saying:
I'VE have the cable" It took the Adria
three hours to raise the cable from its
| deep bed.
AT jusq o'clock the cable was on
board and cut. and the news was sig
nailed to the fleet that Admiral Cervera
was isolated. The captain Of the Adria
is sure that he cut the outward cable to
| Kingston.
The Haitien cable was cut some time
ago. The Adria cut the cable about two
miles due south OF Moro Castle.

THE ELEcTloNs.

The fusion ticket is elected in Idaho
by n good majority. Kootenai county
Is also loyal to the cause of silver. How
ever the Republicans have made heavy
gains and carried several counties that
two years ago cast a majority OF their
votes for the silver ticket. In the state
of Washington the Republicans have
elected their entire ticket and have a
majority Of the legislature on ioins ballot,
which insures the election Of Republi
can to succeed Senator Wilson. Many
excuses are offered in explanation Of the
Republican gains in these free silver
states, and while several causes may
have contributed to the result, it is a
fact that fusion obliterates the cohesive
ness OF party organization, and creates
n lack OF interest among the people
whose parties are part Of the combina-
ti0n. In fusion, many voters who other
wise take an interest in political matters
become apathetic and neglect to 70 to
the polls. This was demonstrated in
Ceur d'Alene precinct where over fifty
silver voters failed TO register, and as
many more who did register failed Ia
vote, while the Republicans, with
thorough party organization had their
full vote registered, and polled it on
election day. These facts make it evil
dent that fusion lie failure, and il the
silver forces expect to win in the great
political contest Of 1900, il will be under
one party banner, with q complete ami
harmonious organization. 1t may lie by
the Democratic or new silver party
never by fusion,

SENATOR HoAR ON EXPANSION.

nj q recent speech, Senator Hoar, the
great Republican statesman 81 Massa-
ehusetts gave the NEST coaent reasons
naainst territogial expansion, especially
in tile Philippines, that have thus far
been produced. His sincerity and in
tense desire for that which 10 best for
his country, none will doubt. There are
many great men who share hls views on
this question. They we're so Clearly de-
fined that they hare set the American
people TO thinking. Here il what he
said:
1T il said that Porto Rico is already
ours. II may lie that Porto Rico is to
become ours. But there is no authority
under the constitution Of the United
States TO acquire any foreign territory
save by treaty approved by the senate
by . two-thirds vote. or by an act Of
legislation, IN which the president. the
house OF representatives and the senate
must unite. Ii is said the Philippine
islands are already ours by right Of con-
quest. Human beings, men, women and
children, peoples-are not TO be won A.
spoila Of war or prizes in battle. 1t may
lie that such doctrine finds place in
the ancient and bArbarous laws Of war,
but ii has no place under the American
constitution. 1t has 70 place in the
code Of morals Of the people OF the
United States.
II have stated elsewhere the condi-
lions which, in my Judgment, warranted
ihe acquisition OF Hawaii. Hawaii eam+
to Us with the consent oil the crown gov
eminent, the only government capable
OF maintaining itself there for any CON
siderable length OF time. In the case Of
The Philippines, We are asked to subject
n nation and hold it in subsection. We
get them by conquest and hold them by
force. In the case OF the Hawaiian is
lands we get them by compact made
with their lawful government.
@Some OF our good friends have said
thoughtlessly in their zeal, that where
the American flag goes it must stay
But surely they cannot wish to commit
the country TO that doctrine. We planted
il on the city OF Mexico. But no man
demanded that it should stay there. i
the war goes on we shall plant it on thu
coast Of Spain, but we have no desire Il
hold permanent dominion there.
''If the Philippine islands become ours
then under the late decision Of the So
PFeme court every child thereafter borr
in them becomes an American citizen
free to come, free TO go. Are you goini
10 hold them as subjects? Are you 60

Reef Tn Peace and War.

The civil war that ragged in our land third of century ago operated in a diametrically opposite manner on the two sections of the United States known as the south western and the northwest ern states. In the former, composed chiefly of the state of Texas, all access to outside markets was cut off to live stock. The Union forces patrolled with gunboats the Mississippi river, and no herds could be taken across to feed the main rebel armies. Cattle could not be shipped to Cuba for fear of almost cer- tain capture by war vessels on the gulf passages, and they could not be safely driven north or west.
 So Texas 3, 900, 900 cattle multiplied like vermin in an army camp upon the ranges of Texas, where they ceased to have cash value and became only an article of barter, 75 head being ex- changed for good saddle horse and 100 ahed for two horse wagon. The stores in the grazing regions exchanged goods and wares for them, fixing ridiculous ly low scale of prices for the live stock, payable in goods, etc., from the store. This state of affairs continued until two years after the war closed.
 In the northwest the supply of live stock was depleted to feed the Union armies, and for two or three years after the close of the war remained scarce and dear in price, so that the masses of laboring men and factory operatives could scarce afford beef upon their ta- bles dftener than once a week, and then it was of the cheaper cuts of the carcass. -"Kings and Queens of the Range"
