AS TO PORTO RICO.

Ii Is apparently the intention of the AID.
ministration to invade and subdue Porto
Rico before extensive operations are begun
against Cuba. This policy has evidently
been recently decided upon, after having
been partially tried and rejected. Samp.
sou already had the job half completed
when called off by the laundering strate-
gists at Washington.
Porto Rico presents much simpler prob.
leu than that of Cuba. In point of climatic
conditions, also the situation is much more
favorable. The island is full of high hills
and mountains, aud these give II climate
almost as comfortable as that of the temper.
ate zone. Besides II is more healthiul and
less troubled with epidemics than other
parts Of Tue West Indies.
The island is highly cultivated, It's pro.
ducts are varied, and It's fertility Is wonder.
full. The population is not so unruly as
that OF Cuba, and is less ignorant. The
masses OF the people Of Porto Rico, while
nominslly loyal 10 Spain, are oppressed as
are other people under the rule OF Spain,
and would welcome almost any change OF
sovereignty. They are prepared TO accept
the entrance Of the United States and would
probably cooperate with oar forces. The
Spanish forces on the island do not exceed
total of 1900 ell told. They are well

ened the defenses at San Juan. They could
easily be destroyed and then the capital
would be at our mercy. But while It would
be an easy matter TO capture Porto Rico, 1t
is difficult for layman to comprehend why
the President, especially at this time when
the attack on Cuba has been begun, should
divide bis forces and fly off at this tangent
instead Of striking the knock out blow at
Havana and bring the war to close.
When the President sent the navy to sub.
due Porto Rico he should not have left the
work half done, but since he did abandon
that plan TO attack Cuba, 1t is simply adding
another folly to leave the work in Cuba in
turn part done and divide the American
forces TO go back and complete the job from
which Sampson was called away. This is
kind OF strategy that surpasseth the under.
standing Of all save those who see nothing
but wisdom in the antics of the strategy
board, which would be amusing if Amer
lean lives and treasure were not at stake.

THE DEWEY TWO STEP.

Generosity is an American characteristic.
Brother Jonathan holds nothing too good
for those who do him notable service. Just
now this is made manifest by the abundant
and varied assortment of honors and com.
pliments showered upon Rear Admiral
Dewey. OF Dewey buttons and Dewey
badges, Dewey days and Dewey nights,
Dewey swords and Dewey votes of thanks,
and-let it not go unrecorded- Dewey babies,
their is neither Limitation nor let-up. These
are pleasing expressions of appreciation by
patriotic people to patriotic commander.
They speak eloquently of nations graft
tude TO national hero. They are the
sweets of life that minimize its bitter, grace.
ful and gracious acknowledgment of great
deeds done and honors CALAMITY won.
But there are others and, no doubt, more
to follow. The latest delicate tribute to the
hero of Manila Bay is paid by organized
devotees to Terpsichore. 1t is the dewey
Two-Step." This is not, as might be sup.
posed, lesson in walking Spanish. 1t is a
uohSC- o NOti'C OuOiiub W tuO iLlhopcI vi
ceremonies at that breakfast ball at Cavite.
This latest, and not inappropriate, distinc-
ton conferred upon the wielder of the baton
who directed the mad May mornings ma
zourka upon Manila Bays merrily dancing
waves comes from the National Association
of Dancing Masters Of the United States
when the figures were signaled from the flag
ship midst the booming of American cannon.
The movement combines the languorous
swirl of the marine waltz and the spirited
dash of the sailors hornpipe in sharp attack
and reverse and remaneuvers.
That this charming concet will be popu
lar, as pleasurably expressive of patriotic
emotions at the summers seaside resorts, is
foregone conclusion.

The importance Of passing the banking
and currency bill, which has been reported
to the House, cannot be too strongly urged
upon the members of Congress, and bust
ness men will do well to communicate their
desire for speedy action to their Senators
and Representatives at Washington. 1t is
important, now that prosperity is restored,
that every element of danger be removed
from the situation that all doubt and un-
certainty be terminated. These desirable
ends will be accomplished by the bill which
has been reported, and Congress will neg.
lect pressing duty if the measure is not
passed before an adjournment is taken.

An order has been issued which places a
ban on married men being enlisted. They
must secure the consent of the regimental
commander before the United States will
hereafter receive them into service. This
stand is taken on the ground that the ext.

men with families dependent on them should
leave their families for service in the army.
The same order directs all minors shall moi

Records Broken at CIeveinnd.

Cleveland, O., July 25.-The breaking of two worlds records and one season S record marked the opening of the grand circuit races at the Glenville track to- day. The first event, the 2:16 trot, was the fastest race this season, and in the second race, the 2:1O pace, the worlds record for pacing mares was clipped from 2:05 3-4 to 2:05 1-2 in the first heat. In the next mile Searchlight, another member of the California outfit, re- duced the mark for year-olds, in competition, to 2:04 3-4, going under the record two seconds.
 Separately the heats in the 2:16 trot were not marvellous, but collectively they form the fastest trotting race of the year. Mamie Patterson displayed the speed of the big field, and took first money in straight heats. Lena M. could not hold out in 2:10 pace and Search light took the race in three heats after the first. Five heats were required to decide the 2:25 trot, Percy got the first heat, Belle J. pursuing him closely. and in the second Belle J. won in 2:11, Percy dropping to second position. Then Angelina, from the Ketcham farm, went out and took the race, one. two, three.

TRIAL OF SENATOR KENNY.
Jury Unable to Agree Upon Verdict
 and Is Dtscharged.

Wilmington, Del, July 26.--After having been locked up since last FriZ day at 12:45 o'clock the jury in the case of United States Senator Richard R. Kenny, charged with aiding and abetting the footing of the First Ma tional bank of Dover tonight was still unable to agree upon a verdict and was discharged by Judge Bradford from further consideration of the case. It is said that since the case went to the jury about twenty five ballots were taken and in nearly every instance the vote stood to for acquittal. When the disagreement became known there was considerable discussion as to what course would be followed by the gov- ernment with relation to another trial. District Attorney Vandegrift said he could not say when Senator Kenney would be placed on trial again, but was under the impression that the government would endeavor to have the trial take place in September. Sem ator Kenneys trial began in the Units ed States district court two weeks ago to-day. The principal witness against Senator Kenney was William N. Boggs, formerly teller of the bank, who plead- ed guilty to defaulting in the sum of $100,000. The senator was charged with aiding and abetting Boggs in taking from the bank about $3,500.

TOWN DEsTRoYED BY FIRE.
BOO Dwellings, Five Churches and Many
 Other Buildings Wiped Ont.

Halifax, N. S., July 25.-The town of Pugwash, 1900 inhabitants, ship-s ping port of considerable importance on the straits of Orthumberland, was wiped out by fire to-day, 200 dwellings,. five churches, twenty stores, three hotels and several mills being de- stroyed. The fire started in 8 business! block through a lamp exploding, and a high wind and the complete absence of water supply or fire-fighting appar- atus soon carried the flames beyond control. With few exceptions the buildings were wooden and large sec-s tion of the town was closely built.
 At this part the fire swept through whole blocks with lightning rapidity and people fled for their lives, losing. everything. The foreign shipping in port was slightly damaged. The town was little insured, owing to the ab- sence of fire protection. The inhabk- ants are now encamped in the field and woods. Several people are report- ed missing, but it is impossible yet to tell who, if any lost their lives Re- lief is being organized in every direc- ton.
