on the quantity of cantaloupes
shipped out of the Arkansas valley
this season, showing some surpris-

There were over $4,000 crates
shipped out by express, thirty-one
refrigerator cars being loaded
out, and 685 cars went by freight.
This would give ID, 324, 900 canta-

the victims of yesterdays fearful ex-
plosion of the Western Fuse Works

are hard at work segregating the
mangled portions of human remains in
the endeavor to make the bodies as

rise TO story that there was another
unknown victim. If So who he is is
deep mystery, for all of the deputy
Sheriffs have been accounted for. and

BLANCO CUT OFF.
He Can Communicate With His
Home Government no More.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-Two days
ago General A. w. Greely Chief Signal
Officer, cabled instructions to his Off
GERS in Santiago to seal up and place
a guard over the three cable lines con-
Meeting Santiago with CienfuegoS,
whence, by land line, communication
is established with Havana. To-day
General Greedy was informed that his
orders had been carried into effect.
The closing of the Cienfuegos cables
absolutely isolateS Havana and Cen
eral Blanco from Madrid. Blanco's
only means of communicating with the
Madrid Government now is by the Key
West cable, which is under the strict
est censorship by the Government of
the United States.
AS a result of the sealing of the Santi-
ago-Cienfuegos cables, several cipher
dispatches, passing between General
Blanco and the Spanish Government
drifted into this country to-day. 1t
is scarcely necessary to say that they
did not reach their destination.

GUATEMALAN REVOLUTION.
Reaching Alarming Proportions
Morales Showing His Hand.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.-Mail ad-
vices received in this city to-day from
Guatemala contain information to the
effect that the impending revolution in
the southern republic has reached
alarming proportions. Prospero Mo
rales one of the leaders of the last up
rising against the late Dictator, Reina
Barrios, has again shown his hand, and
has boldly issued a proclamation palp
ably directed against President Cabre-
ra, the present Executive of Guate-

Morales is planning a grand coup, his
intentions, no doubt, being to carry the
forthcoming elections, and, if possible.
assume the reins of government. AS
yet, Morales has not announced himself
candidate for the Presidency, but he
makes no secret of his desire to defeat
Cabrera, who. would like to succeed
himself. Morales is getting an army
about him and collecting arms and am
munition. He is now at Magrues del
Suchiate, not having dared to enter the
city of Quesaltenango. Some time ago
Cabrera, who succeeded President Bar
rios, issued a decree of amnesty to all
political refugees, but Morales fears for
his life should he take advantage of the
decree
Devoting himself particularly to Ca
brera, Morales in his proclama ton, ac-
cuses the former of having failed in all
his promises made Immediately upon
his assumption of the Presidency. Mo-
rales declares Cabrera to be worse than
BarrioS, who was assassinated as the
result of his mismanagement Morales
further warns the Guatemalans against
Cabrera, who, he asserts, will carry
the election by force of arms. In short,

ton, in all the attributes Of greatness.
In obedience to this force, we have de-
clared the right and exercised the power
of acquisition of territory allied to US
by commercial affinity and by geo.
graphical position necessary to the ma
tional defense and to our growth and
expansion. We have in all time MAIN
tanned that by virtue of her geograph-
ical position, the Incorporation of Cuba
into our territorial system was natural
and right, and even Indispensable to our
safety.
Any sovereignty other than that of
the United States, whether claimed and
exercised by an Old World monarchy or
established by the people of the island
themselves, will in all essentials be at
issue with the inherent evolutionary
force of our development, and if ma
tional opinion, of which there is ample
record, may be trusted, a foe to our
safety and an obstacle to our progress.
The independence of Cuba is, there
fore, an historic absurdity. The irri-
tating jealousy concerning her relations
with other Powers will, from the first,
force the debasing expediency and en-
feebled vaSsalage of an American pro-
tectorate, relation prolific of interna-
tional complications, and attended with
the perpetual menace of foreign war.
The independence of Cuba may be
step in the direction of Incorporating
her into our industrial, commercial and
political system; but nSthing short of
her complete Incorporation into our
territorial system will allay the menace
of her geographical position, or remove
the obstacle her alienation opposes to
the defense of our country and to our
national expansion and commerce.
In the current war we are witnessing
the drama Of history and the tragedy of
progress. individual wrongs become
historic rights" and we viii retain SOW
ereignty over every foot of territory
conquered by our army. This is decreed
by the trend of all our history The
purpose of the nation cannot be inter-
preted by the vanity of oratory, the hy-
pocrisy of elOQuence or the bigotry of
mere sentimental patriotism; elemental
forces over which man does not appear
to exercise control, are broadening and
deepening the current of national life
as the channels of rivers are broadened
in hteir onward flow. And when the
fruits of victory, ennObling the sacrifice
of blood and compensating the tears of
sorrow, shall lay at the feet of liberty
new empires and crown our country
with a higher mission and a broader re-
sponsibility among the nations of the
earth, the purpose of the nation will
stand revealed in the possession of
nobler aspirations, augmented possibili-
ties, and the achievement of a higher
place in the upward and onward path
way of destiny.
