nounced it fall correct
A democratic vietory this fall would
mean a reaction-a retreat. Much Of
the fruits Of our victories would be
lost. 1t would give encouragement to
Spain to persist in her demands that
she be allowed to retain the Philip
pines and that the United States as
ume the Cuban debt Of $3.50, 900, 900 as
a preliminary to the evacuation Of the
island. We have not settled single
issue for which the war was fought.
General Sickles, himself a democrat
who has carefully studied the subject,
predicts that war viii be resumed in
less than three months. Every re-
publican should stand by the admin
istratlon and fight the war through
to q successful peace. The election Of
the republican ticket in November in
sures this consum nation.

As to the time of sailing there is

SAID TO HAVE BEATEN DEWEY
Spaniards Claim They Repaired the Wires Cut
by the Americans,
And That This Holds the American Fleet
Tied Up In Manila hay, Una
BILE to Retire.

New York, May CA special to the
journal from Montreal says:
A special to La Presse from Madrid
states that Commodore Dewey's squad
ron could only get an entrance into
Manila bay by first severing the wires
connecting the submarine torpedo sys-
tenn with the forts. This having been
done, Dewey had no difficulty in
doing what he did. that Is, to sail into
the bay as on the high seas.
The special then goes on. saying that
he engaged the Spanish squadron with
the result as told. But 1t apears tina,
during the fight the Spanish authorities
set to work reconstructing the wires
under the fire of the American war
ships. The severed wires were patched
so quickly that before the fight was
over no ships could move any more In
the bay without the greatest danger
of being blown up.
Now, says the special to La Presse
this startling piece of news reached
Madrid in the form of cipher dis
patch from Hongkong, where 1t was
discreetly circulated among the leaders
of the Spanish groups.
The posting of this news throughout
the city created the most intense ex-
citement among both French and Eng
lish, who fully sympathize with the
United States.
The dispatch seemed to be the only
explanation OF that Ave days silence
from Dewey's squadron.

New York, May GA short time ago
Miss Helen Gould sent her check for
800, 900 to President Mckinley to be
used as he deemed proper in the war.
and intimated in the letter which ac-
companied 1t that she would like to
double the amount. This check was
returned by the President because un-
der the law he had no power to accept
1t.
Miss Gould was disappointed by the
result attending her patriotic OFFER but
she was not discouraged. She con-
suited Mrs. Lcdyard Stevens, of this
city, and was advised by her to ex-
pend the money in sending soldiers to
Cuba.
This proposition met with Miss
Gould's appreciation, and at the sug-
gestion of Mrs, Stevens, Gen. E. NJ. Bar
bour was consulted as to the best way
to carry out the project. After a con.
ference 1t was decided that Mr.. Barbour

the French liner Lafayette by the gun
boat Annapolis caused distinct SEN

In the state department 1t was taken
as forerunner OF a number Of cases
