SPECULATION AS TO REASON
nual Naval Maneuvers
This Year.

London, June 2o.-It is announced
that Great Britain will not hold her
usual annual naval maneuvers this year,
which has caused much speculation as
to the reason for this step. In some
quarters it is said it is due to lack of
coal, owing to the Welsh strike. But,
in other quarters it is believed that
important events are in sight.
The officials OF the British admiralty
decline to give their reasons for ADAM
doning the maneuyers ;but they say it
is not because of lack of coal, as ample
supplies of fuel were secured previous
to the strike of the miners in Wales.

Cubans Besiege Guantanamo
The close Gordon maintained by the
Cubans about Guantanamo is illus
trated by the fact that official Spanish
communications, sent in duplicate by
land and water, have been intercepted
and the Spanish messengers, in both
cases, have been shot by the Cubans
while attempting to pass the lines.
For the past three nights there has
been comparative quiet in the camp
which the marines hold on the crest of
the hill near Guantanamo bay, and over
which the American flag floats. At dusk
volunteers from the warships go ashore
and camp near the hill, to be at hand
in case of an emergency, and the Gu
bans go far out in the chapparal in or
der to prevent the Spaniards from
stealing march on the camp.
Gen. Perez. commanding the eastern
division of the insurgent army, called
on Capt. McCalla, of the Marblehead,
Friday, and reported that he had 5000
men of whom 1900 would reinforce
the marines in few days.
Many bands of insurgents are now
gathered along the coast, westward to
Santiago de Cuba.
Since the narrow escape of the Mar
blehead and Texas from destruction by
torpedoes in the channel, greater pre-
cautions have been observed. Both
ships struck contact mines without ex-
ploding them. Each mine contained 40
pounds of guncotton, sufficient to de-
stroy any vessel.
The Bombardment ut Guantanamo.
The bombardment in Guantanamo
bay was not so heavy as at Santiago,
but it was very heavy. The Spaniards
fired only five shots and then fled.
| Three snots struck near the Marble
| head, but none hit her.
The ships steamed within 5000 yards
of the fort before opening fire, and then
fired with deadly accuracy.
The Texas stopped in the narrow
channel in order to avoid grounding,
but the MarDlehead steamed ahead and
swung around the south side of the
harbor. Her first shots went wild, bu;
the little Suwanee, which was following
her, found the range and sent shots
straight into the foundation of the
fort, hurting into the air the bricks and
| dust.
| The Texas finished the business, two
of her l2-inch shells reducing the fort
| to picturesque and useless ruin.
The Marblehead then turned her at
tention to the barracks and breast
works southeast of the harbor and
speedily demolished them, sending thu
Spanish garrison flying for their lives
AS the Spaniards ran down the main
land the ST. Paul's five-inch guns wer,
trained on them and several of the sol
diers were seen to fall. The number O
killed and wounded is not known.
The bombardment lasted for an hou
and quarter and was for the purpos

Class Day Exercises.

The Cresco High School graduates
OF '9S. gave exhibition OF ..Model" ex-
ercises Thursday of last week. The
school room was artistically decorated
with evergreens and flowers. The
crayon work, including the class mot
to "Models Ever" on the blackboard,
thanked on either side, with the names
OF the members composing the class,
was especially. a specimen of fine art.
The appearance of the room was at
once inviting and gave evidence of
taste and culture as we'll. Professor
Ling is not only an able instructor,
but dignified presiding officer also.
He announced the opening memorial
song-"The Brave old Oak" which
was sung by whole class, then the ex-
ercises proceeded without further
announcement until the class was
ready to plant, In the north east part
OF the school grounds, the class tee,
the class formed and marched in mtli
tary double file. to the place of plant
ing and dedication of the Birch tree,
encircling the pit, and remaining in
dignitied silence until the tree was set
in its place, when one of the young
men made very pretty and appro-
pirate address, at the close of which,
the class gave vent to pent mp joy in
a yell, the class yell, in which they
did Justice to the yell: XII ype! XII ype!
Ri vi! vi! vi!
This ended the forenoon exercises.
At 1:15 p. M. the room was full, and
the class was ready for tie remaining
work of the day. The announcement
and the song was the same as in the
morning. The papers read, without
an exception, were OF thoughtful
character which evinced the earnest
and thorough work OF the student.
The writer would make no distinction
between the excellent productions of
the day. but may be pardoned for In
timating, that the class history and
journal, as read were, with their ex-
cellent exhibition of wit and humor, a
real treat, they were, as evidently in
tended, the pie, a graceful and elo-
quent finish to the full repast which
had been served through the day. At
the close OF the ''last will and tesla
ment," treat for all was in store. AS
announced by Mr.. Ling, the class had
requested him to address them, the
reason for the request remained a
mystery to him until the days doing
cleared his mental vision, and the adj
dress followed in clear, terse, rhetori-
cal sentences, full of good advice and
instruction; SO pleasing was the effect
produced that the whole house joined
the class in hearty applause.
The class IS the largest that has
ever been graduated from the Cresco
high school. Their tasks on class day
were SO we'll executed as to show
their thorough work while in the high
school and mental treat to those
who were present for all of which the
PLAIN DEALER congratulates them in
their successful work and assures them
of its best wishes in life's labor which
is yet to come.

Lick Observatory, Mount Hamilton,
CAL. June 2o.--Wolf's periodic comet
was found at three o'clock Friday morn
ing by Prof. w. j. Huffay, with the
35-inch telescope. 1t was close to the
predicted place and was found instant
ly. No attempt has been made here
lately to observe it. The measurement
of its position was obtained. The comet
was first discovered by Max Wolf, of
Heidelberg, in 1884, and was rediscov-
cred by Spi.aler in Vienna, in 1894. Its
period is about seven years.

weyler Is Spiteful.

London, June 1s-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
Gen. Weyler, in the course of an inter
view regarding the war operations, said
he thought it needless to send fleet to
Cuba. In his opinion, at any rate, it
would have been better to have made a
dash for the coast towns and to have
sent a squadron to defend the Philip
pines, thus saving the Yankees from
the temptation to possess islands which
they never coveted till they saw that
they could be captured"
