To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-Sir: The disposition

Shafter is most unfortunate. With an army OF
10000 men he sailed l 100 miles. landed on a rocky
and hostile coast. plunged through a semi-tropicnl
jungle. and In ten days captured the intrenchmenta
and hills commanding Santiago. 80 that Ceryera.s
fleet was forced out and destroyed. Ten days later
he captured not only Santiago and its garrison and
munitions of war. hut also some $4,000 Spanish
troops and practically all of eastern Cuba.

Is OUT FOR PINGRkE.

Hon. Chase S. Osborne, editor of the
Sault ST. Marie News says editorially:
''rhe News favors the denomination
of Hazen S. Pingree as the Republican
candidate for governor of Michigan.
Governor Pingree is Republican.
He may not have been constructed in
the personal mould of any one man,
but he believes in primary Republican
principles, and in the vitality of their
evolution, in order that they may be
sufficiently meanirgful and comprehen-
sive TO cope with and assimilate new
questions of polity that cannot be
brushed lightly away, but must be met.
The News does not believe Governor
Pingree is divinely inspired, nor does
it think him incapable of erring. But
it does believe that he is just as good a
man as when it supported him for
election in 1896. 1t believes he has
made good governor. 1t believes he
is an honest, courageous Republican
and it wants to see him renominated,
as is his right in every way"
Hazen S. Pingree will be the next
Republican governor OF Michigan.

Artesian wells sunk in the Sahara
desert appear to find an abundant sup
ply Of water without going very deep
new face ON desert conditions, involving
important political, climatic and eco
nomical consequences The English have
begun sinking them along the Berber-
Suakin road, finding water there as
abundant as it was in the regions near
the Nile when their first experimental
wells were put down. Flowing under
enough to fertilize GASES all over its
sterile expanse and rescue it in a meas
ure from it's historic barrenness and
desolation. Some years ago French
engineer proposed TO cut a canal from
the Mediterranean to the lower desert
levels, thus creating a new inland sea,
or, rather, restoring an old one, but for
some reason the project was abandoned.
Local irrigation by means of artesian
borings is more judicious expedient,
and, the English having pointed the
way in this direction, the French are
quite likely to follow it. Only narrow
desert belt separates their possessions in
north and middle Africa, reaching from
the Mediterranean to the Niger. and it
is quite worth their while to fertilize it
and plant it with palm groves and date
orchards if possible, at any rate to pro-
vide water enough to supply their pres
ent caravans and perhaps their future
locomotives. New York Tribune.
