When Blanco wrote to Gomez,
urging an alliance of Cuban with
Spanish forces in order to meet the
common enemy, America, he met a
rebuke from Gen Gomez, so emphat-
ic as to shake all the plumes out of
the Spanish hat with the unspellable
name. The words of that brilliant
reply would have knocked the breath
out of Don Quixote and driven poor
Sancho to the extreme of a prolong-
ed jambouree. As it is, the answer
shows the insurgent leader himself
to be somewhat of a philosopher, and
well versed in the science of anthrop-
ology and the basic constituents of
protoplasm. Gomez answers:
| wonder how you dare write me
again about terms of peace, when
you know that the Cubans and Span
iards can never be at peace on Cuban
soil. You represent on this contin-
ent an old and discredted monarchy.
We are fighting for an American
principle, the same as that of Bolivar
and Washington. You say we be-
long to the same race and invite me
to fight against foreign invader,
but yhu are mistaken. There are no
differences of race and blood. | be-
lieve in only one race, mankind, and
for me there are but good and bad
nations. Up to the present have
had reasons for admiring only the
United States, and for the present 1
have to repeat, it is too late for an
understanding between my army and
yours.

THE POWER OF THE PRESS.
BY EMMA HELEN BRONSON.

(Oration delivered at the commence
ment exercises of the Neihart High
School, Mayer, 1S9S)
No one has done more to further the
civilization of mankind than has Guten-
berg, the inventor of the present system
of printing. When he exhibited to his
friends the initial sheet of parchment
printed from movable types, he had nc
conception Of the great office he was
performing for the amelioration of his
race. Family could he have realized the
extent, of influence his discovery was tC
have in the world Though Gutenberg
is dead, he yet speaks. Tho the illus
trious sage of Strasberg long ago retired
to the land of spirit rest, the magic OF
his art has overspread all lands and in
vested the people of earth with Intellect
ual power renewed and nvigorated by
the thought of that great genius.

printing $4,000 newspapers per hour.
Let us note the march of progress in
the art of printing. Up to l72o Boston
and Philadelphia were the only cities in
America possessing newspapers. AS late
as IT'S, there we're in the middle and
southern colonies but ten journals. OF
which Maryland, Virginia aud South
Carolina possessed each two. North
Carolina had three, and Georgia but
one. Virginia. Notwithstanding its ii
lustrious precedency, the province ol
Raleigh, and the cradle of Washington
possessed neither newspaper or printing
press until 1736, so that at one time there
was fair prospect of the realization o
tie devout aspiration of Sir William
Berkleygovernor of Virginia.who in l67l

On the present tide of war, it can
not be many days before Spain will
have lost all her foreign possessions
and her navy will be swept off the
water. Her rebellious subjects in
Cuba and in Luzon are at the pres
ent uncture her most dreaded enc.
mics. For they devastate the only
land able to support armies and thus
hasten the ravages of famine. The
state of affairs in the Philippines is
most disheartening to the parent
country, and even now the Spanish
garrison may have already surrend-
cred. Their food supply is cut off,
and they can do nothing but surren-
der. The Cuban blockade is now
so effectual that Spain must soon win
battle or quit. There is no alter.
native, and unless Spain soon capt
ures something loaded with eatables
the time of the final crash is mere
matter. of days.

The Weeks Bulletins.

June 3, The commander of the
blockade at Santiago de Cuba
strengthened his position by sending
the collier Merrimac into the narrow
harbor, and sinking hsr across and
in the middle of the channel. The
obstruction thus made prevents any
of the heavier Spanish ships from
passing out until the wreck is re-
moved. The work of closing the
harbor was ordered by Rear Admir-
al Sampson and was entrusted tc
Lieut.. Hobson and six men. 1t was
a daring adventure, under fire of the
Spanish forts, but was successful
Lieut.. Hobson and his crew were
taken prisoners and are now held by
the Spaniards. Two of the men
were wounded.

toward her and said;

involving the constitutionality of the
Bland-Allison act and other laws per-
tanning to silver as a legal tender
Stephen Baldwin bought a farm upon
which Mr.. Baker held a mortgage that
became due to the amount OF 1854. in

Mr.. Baker 364 silver dollars and asked
for the cancellation of the mortgage.
Mr.. Baker refused TO surrender the
mortgage for the 364 silver dollars, but
agreed TO cancel IL II he received enough

This condition was declined by Mr.
Baldwin. and he filed a suit in equity

In the answer Mr.. Baker submits that
