FOR A BLOODLESS VICTORY.
President Mckinley Seeks Triumphant
Peace with as Little Sacrifice of HUI
man Life as Possible.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Since the war
between the United States and Spain
has progressed so far without the loss
of many lives on either side, President
Mckinley is more than ever convinced
that we will come very near achieving
a bloodless victory. He stated yester-
day that he expected the six Spanish
ships in the harbor of Santiago to be
taken without sacrificing great
amount Of American blood, and that
Blanco would doubles be instructed
by his government to surrender and
evacuate Cuba by the time an Amer
lean army of occupation had in
vaded Porto Rico. On most excellent
authority it can be stated that the
president is determined upon the rapid
war from this time forward, but that
he is cherishing the hope that the
moral effect of our great strength will
induce Spain, in her hopeless and
almost pitiable condition, to throw
her ''honor" to the winds and do the
thing-give up.

REPORT NOT CONFIRMED.
News That Spanish Torpedo Boat De-
strOyer Was Sunk Has Not Yet Been
Satisfactorily Confirmed.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June e.
Whether the American fleet sank a
Spanish torpedo boat on Friday night
has not been absolutely confirmed. At
ten o'clock Friday night the cruiser
New Orleans discovered what ap-
peared to be torpedo boat de-
stroyer close to the shore and signaled
the flagship New York that it was evil
dent a night torpedo attack was to
be made. The New York and New
Orleans opened fire and their shells
burst around the dark object. Finally
a 13-inch shell from the Massachusetts,
mot the Oregon, as first reported) was
fred and exploded, and the search
lights of the vessels were turned on
the spot where the supposed destroyer
had been sighted. but not a trace of
the boat could be found, and it is be-
lieved by the officers of the New York
that she had been sunk.

THE BEST EVER KNOWN.
Secretary Coburn's Report Says Kansas
Wheat Prospects Have Never Been So
Fine-ConditiOn of Other Crops

TOPEKA, Kan, June 7.-Secretary
Coburn, of the state board of agricul-
ture, has had reports from almost
every township in Kansas for his crop
report made public yesterday. 1t is
one of the most complete he has ever
issued. 1t shows that the average con-
dition of the winter wheat crop of
Kansas is 103. On June 4. last year, a
similar bulletin showed the condition
of the wheat crop which brought so
many millions into Kansas to be SO.
The government estimate is that the
acreage is % per cent. greater this
year than last. The reports sustain
the statement that Kansas will harvest
100, 600, 900 bushels of wheat this year.
The bulletin says:
Excessively and almost uninterrupted wet
cool weather for several weeks has caused the
winter wheat prospect to be probably the most
promising in the states history at this time of
the year. Its stand and growth are not only
very excellent. but the entire absence thus far
of injury by insects is equally noticeable.
From scattered localities the presence of a few
OF last years chinchbugs is mentioned, but in
no instance are they alluded to as doing
likely to do business. A little rust is alluded
to by a correspondent here and there. but APP
parently more with view to relieving his re-
port of monotony than suggest harm or fear
Corn-The same continuous wet, cool wealth
er. so favorable to the development of the
wheat plant, has been averse to the corn situa-
ton, causing s>ed in the ground to rot. and re-
tarding blowing, planting, termination and
cultivation. Hence much planting or replant-
ing is yet done (mainly with listers), and that
portion which is above ground has made only
limited growth, although in some localities
cultivation is in progress Within a few days
the situation has considerably improved For
the entire state the condition averages 80 The
following table gives the average condition of
winter wheat and corn by counties:

HOBSON AND MEN SAFE.
Cervers Sends Word to sampson That Only
Two Of the Daring Crew Arc
Injured.

OFF SANTIAGO, June z Delayed in
fransmission).- the members of
the Merrimac expedition are safe. Two
are slightly wounded, but Lieut. Hob
son escaped without a scratch. This al
most incredible good news was brought
out yesterday afternoon to Rear
Admiral Sampson by Admiral Cervera's
chief of staff, under a flag of truce.
Capt. Oviedo was conducted to Admiral
Sampson and, after salutes had been
exchanged, he said;
Admiral Cervera, the commander of the
Spanish fleet is most profoundly impressed
with the brilliant courage shown by the men
who sunk the steamer Merrimac in our harbor,
and in admiration OF their courage he has di-
rected me to say to their countrymen that they
are alive and. with the exception of two Of the
men, who are slightly hurt, they are uninjured.
They are now prisoners of war and are being
well cared for and will be treated with every
consideration
Admiral Sampson expressed his
thanks for the kindness and gener-
osity of Admiral Cervera and invited
Capt. Oviedo to his cabin, where they
talked for some time alone. Later they
they chatted pleasantly. Admiral
Sampson improved the opportunity to
show off the ships of the American
feet. In succession the Texas, Ore
gon, Marblehead and Iowa steamed
close to the flagship in response to a sig
nal from the admiral. and Capt. Oviedo
was given an opportunity to judge
what chance he and his fellows Of the
Cape Verde feet would have for their
lives if ever they came sailing out of
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba.

NO LAW AGAINST 1T.
Patrons of q School District Who Object to
Dancing in the Schoolhouse Have
No Legal Redress.

TOPEKA, June State Superintend-
ent of Schools Stryker has been ap-
pealed to to settle a quarrel that has
arisen in school district in Woodson
county which is of more interest to
the residents there than the war with
Spain. The schoolt-eacher got per-
mission from the board to hold dances
in the schoolhouse every Friday night,
and he has been conducting them
regularly. A number of patrons OBJ
jected to this procedure and appealed
to the board, who sided with the
teacher. Then nearly every family in
the district lined up on one side or
the other. Those opposing dances ap-
pealed to Mr.. Stryker, but the super
intendent declines to mix up in the
trouble. He says he does not approve
of teachers 6ddling and calling for
dances, or dancing themselves; neither
does he approve of schoolhouses being
used for dance halls, but as there is no
law against it he can't do anything.
He suggests that the question be made
an issue in the coming school election.
THE only way to settle it," said he,
lis to elect ne w school board on an
anti-dance and anti-fddling platform.

AN HONORABLE UNION.

[The Dalles Times Mountaineer,
Democratic.
The union that was formed 10y the
state conventions .Of the Democratic,
Peoples and silver Republican parties
to Portland last week was in every
respect honorable and harmonious.
The platform adopted was concise
and broad enough for all who are
united in the common cause.-the ad-
vancement of human rights and
honest gOvernment-tO stand upon.
1t is a platform which Democrats,
Populists and Silver Republicans can
endorse, for it embOdies all the cardi-
nal principles enunciated by those
parties, and contains nothing object
ionable to any of them.
Neither of these parties have been
required to surrender any Of their
princriples, yet the demand for a
flexible currency, sufficient TO meet
the demands Of trade and direct leg
lslation, which are endorsed by all
three parties are made prominent,
hence the union on platform is hon.
orable in every detail, and is accept
able to all except the ultra middle
of the-roader, who stand for a pater.
nal form of government in its most
radical form.
And the pportionment of offices
was perfectly equitable, for the dis
tribution was just. In view Of the
fact that the Populists, in the election
of 1896, cast the greater number of
votes for congressman in the state,
were entitled to majority of the Of
fees, therefore they were given four
places on the ticket-gOYernor, attor-
ney general, perintendent of public
instruction and state printer-.the
Democrats having been the next
strongest party were given three
congressman in the first district, state
treasurer and supreme judge-the
Silver Republicans having a minority
OF votes were given two places on the
state ticket-congressm for the
second dist rlct and secretary Of state.
In this distribution each party is
given one of what may be called
purely political offices-governor and
congressmen-and each is given rep
resentation on the state board, so that
in both branches of government
state and national-they have equal
representation. On this basis all the
reform forces may feel that they can
unite honorably and fairly, and that
they are not asked to surrender any of
their principles either by the declara-
tion Of the platform or in the distri.
hutton of offices.
