 Centre, July 1S-nemoc~ats and ropullsts from every portion of the county crowded the courthouse to overf1owing here Friday to hear Governor Johnston. For years there has not been such an outpouring of the people to a public speaking. The large auditorium of the courthouse did not even furnish standing room for people who were anxious to hear. The governor had rep resentative and highly appreciative audi ence who gave evidence of the interest they had in the cause he represented, by their earnest attention throughout his speech.
 Populists were present in great num- bers and joined with the democrats in pay ing honors to the states chief executive, and the first Monday in August will dem- onstrate the fact that wonderful amount of good was done by the governors visit to Cherokee.
 Indications are that John Burnett, for congress, will receive in November 50 per cent. more than the combined vote of Bull lock and Curtis two years ago. He Wall carry Cherokee by storm.

CAMP MERRITT IS
 GROWING SMALLER

San Francisco, July 1S-Camp Merritt is gradually growing smaller. Today 1,500 men, representing the First Montana regi- ment, and 300 recruits for the First Cali fornia, broke camp and marched to the transport steamer Pennsylvania, which will convey them to Manila. The farewell glv- en the soldiers was like all of it's prede- cessors. Hundreds of people lined the streets, cheering and showering them with flowers. The Pennsylvania will probably sail some time tomorrow.
 No further troops have been designated for future Manila expeditions, and 1t now seems possible that the troops here will be sent to join the invading army of Porto Rico

Drouth at Montgomery

Montgomery, July 1S-Until last week all this section of country was suffering from very destructive drought, and there were loud complaints from the farm. Now the cry is the other way-too much rain. For many days rain has fallen every day; some days there were several showers, and oc- casionally regular downpours like the flood that began falling at 1045 this morn- ing. There was great deal of thunder and lightning today, but heretofore there has been very little. Cotton requires one more blowing, and the grass is getting high. The crop was never finer.

Spain that the object Of the war has

guess work
THE immediate future of Cuba is
somewhat complicated. There will be
no annexation in the near future. Our

the United States, that could not be
done until we had valid title to the
islands, which can be obtained only by
treaty of peace with Spain, in which
she cedes the islands to us. Otherwise
we would be selling a disputed title,
and the country that purchased it
would have to reckon with Spain
THE law is the same among nations
in this respect as among private per-
sons. This law was observed between
France and Austria in 1859 when
Piedmont was turned over by Austria
TO France, and by France handed over
TO King Victor Emanuel
The theory of modern times is that
a principality or province should not
be turned over to any nation without
the consent of its people and plebis-
cite is usually held, as in the case OF
the Nice and Savoy.
Once having secured title from
Spain, however, by treaty of peac,
there could be no legal International
objection to our disposing of the ISL
ands, either by ceding or selling them
to any nation we chose, or by Offering
them TO the highest bidder, but such a
proceeding would cause jealousy and
bad feeling among nations.

AUSTRIA'S POSITION.
That Country Would Like to Aid the
Queen Regent, But is Afraid to Act

That Country Would Like to Aid the
Queen Regent, But is Afraid to Act
London, May 5.-A dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Vienna, says:
Although the position of the Queen
Regent of Spain grows daily more diff
cult no step can be taken by the Aus
trian cabinet in the matter, notwith-
standing the deep and wide sympathies
felt in high quarters here.
1t is stated at the foreign Office that
separate and isolated action on the part
of Austria must be carefully avoided.
This is only in strict accordance with
the principles already laid down.
Moreover. such an attempt at rem
dering assistance to the Queen Regent
might be easily misinterpreted, and be-
sides meeting with the strongest oppo-
sition from those who side with the
Americans, could not fail to give rise
to misunderstanding in many quar-
tiers.
Accordingly there is firm determiu-
alton here that if Austria takes any
part at all with regard to the conflict
it will be only to take part in united
action by European cabinets. and then
only if Spain herself seeks the interview
ton of the powers.
