spaiu must soon sue for Peace

| Inc Inllauelphla lines Sumnar-
ICES SPANS poor condition as mil
itary and naval power and concludes
that she must soon sue for peace.
1t is only within the last few days
that we have learned the true condi-
tion of Spain as military and naval
! power, and the evidence is conclu-
sive that the collapse must speedily
come with Spain and that peace
cannot be far distant.
We have been much concerned
about the Spanish fleets. They have
been reported as on the way to the
Philippines, as likely to lombard
Boston and New York, as threaten
ing TO raise the blockade at Havana,
and grave apprehensions have been
felt as to the ability of either of our
great fleets to destroy the feet of
Cervera if brought to a naval en-
gagement.
We now know the truth. The
remnant of the Spanish warships
known as the reserve squadron are
at Cadiz, and have been there since
the beginning of the war. We know
also that they are untitled for either
sailing or fighting, and that they
will not venture either to the West
Indies, or to our northern coast, or
to the Philippines.
We know also that the Spanish
fleet in the Pacific is entirely de-
stroyed, and that the fleet of Adj
miral Cervera is shut up in Santa
go harbor and never again will be
able to offer battle on the high seas.
We now know with absolute GER
tainty that the Spanish fleets are
entirely eliminated from the present
war, and can no longer be consider
ed menace either to our fleets on
the sea, or to our coast or to Ad-
miral Dewey in the Philippines
1t was regarded as a great achieve
ment to bottle up. Admiral Cervera
in Santiago harbor, but it is now
known that he went there because
he could neither sail his fleet nor
fight it, in its present condition. He
went into Santiago harbor deliber-
ately because he could go nowhere
else, and he knew when he entered
there that it was the end of his
squadron. He simply preferred to
hide in the harbor where he could
protect himself until the end came,
when he will blow up his vessels.
1t will be a necessity for our com
bined naval and land forces to cap
ture Santiago, or Porto Rico, or Ha-
vana, and we do not doubt that when
any substantial victory shall be
achieved by our army and navy, a
collapse will come in Spain and
peace will follow as anecessity. All
fears of Spanish fleets can now he
dismissed, and that means that
peace cannot be far distant.

Ia Men.0riain.

Died June 9, 1898, Of typhoid fever, at
the residence OF her parents in East
Morgantown, Melissa simpson, eldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs William
Simpson.
Cut OF the ranks of faithful workers,
ont from II large circle OF appreciative
friends, and out from family who nol
ouly held her dear but by common con
sent gave her the chief place, has gone
one whom we may we'll call the angel 81
ministration.
OF independent spirit and resolute wilt
she early undertook the work to which
she literally gave her life. So consci
entiously did she apply herself to its e.
quirements that We who knew her labor
of love and the unselfish appropriation
OF its pecnniary proceeds, begged her
sometimes to think OF herself. Out Of
WEAKNESS would come smile and a
more perfect immolation.
Her patrons became her personal
friends. Those who valued her PROBES
sional services and paid tribute to hel
artistic skill, recognized also in her the
noble waman that she was and univer.
sally yielded to the charm of person
atty at once reserved and gracious, per-
fectly self-respecting, but sweet with
friendly suggestion and full OF generous
promptings. Very sincere was she but
prudent also-and sagacious. Her speech
was silver but her silence was golden
| never knew her to betray confidence,
however lightly imposed, nor to repeat
the incautious utteranoes Of those who
grew too communicative Professional
etiquette was an essential part Of her
code Of honor.
It is no small thing to have lived as
worthily as she. and count 1t not sad
fate for her 10 the midst Of her busy
years trusted, esteemed, honored and
loved, to lay the burden down and Ia
wake from troubled dream wearing

AFTER RECRUITS.
Lieut.. Eaton and Detail of
men are in this Section.

los men are wanted for the First Bat
taiien-Tie stories ef Camp Priya-
tious are largely xaggerations-Th
men are the best conditioned Of any
In Camp-They have no trouble since
they h.ffe thrashed several regiments
in Office will be opened here this
week for couple Of Days Only the
sery best Of men will be taken.
The first officer to return home
from the front was in town for a
while sunday and Monday. 1t was
Lieut.. Harry A. Eaton, the adjutant
for the first battalion West Virginia
volunteers. He has come back to
get los men who are needed to fill up
the companies Of the battalion to the
number of log men. This has been
a bone of contention for weeks and
weeks and great many conflicting
orders have been issued in regard to
it but it has at last been definitely
decided that the companies will be
increased. Eaton and a detail of
four men have been sent back to get
the men needed by his organization.
The other battalion also sent de-
tails back and they will be busy
for the next few days taking in
the volunteers.
The detail is composed of Private
r. c. McComas, a Huntington boy,
Sergeant H. p. McClintock, from
the same place, Fred Wright, origi-
nally of Buffalo, n. Y, and corporal
c. E. Basel, of Clarksburg.
The headquarters for this detail
will be Fairmont and Eaton will be
there all of this week with the ex-
ception of a day or so which he will
spend in charge of an office which
he will open here.
He paid us a very pleasant visit
and told us OF very interesting
things about the boys and the way
they were getting along in camp.
The stories of the hardships of the
men and the discomforts that they
have to put up with were denounced
as falsehoods.
The regiment is one of the best in
camp and the men take no foolish
ness from the other regiments They
stand up for their rights with earn
estness since the first scrap or two
and they have not been molested as
the other men are afraid of them.
AS for the future movements of
the troops of course he knows moth
ing but it is the general impression
that they will be sent pretty soon to
Porto Rico and from there they
would be sent TO Cuba. He thinks
that part of them will be sent direct
from Tampa as the regiment will
leave their present camping place
before he returns with the recruits.
Instructions however are at Fair
mont and he will know more about
the matter when he has gone there
and has read them.

SECOND is READY.


Charleston, W. Va, June 13--Thc
new repiment of volunteers, recently
called out by Governor Atkinson, un-
der the second call of the President,
is now secured. Each Of the twelve
companies has its full quota OF men
i06- besides the officers, and there
are from fifteen to twenty volunteers
for each company, as a surplus over
the required number Each company
will remain at the place where organ
lied till the President calls them into
active service, when they will DC mus
tered 10 and sent TO the front.
1T is believed that the war will be
over before the new regiment will be
needed.

A YOUNG MANS WAR.
The Average Age of Volunteers Being
"a, the Army is the Youngest Ever
Sent to Battle.

The average age Of the volunteers
who have enlisted for this war is only
"a, says the Atlanta Journal
The army that we are sending
against Spain is, perhaps, the young
est that ever went to battle. The
youthfulness of the volunteers from
the west and north who have passed
through Atlanta has been a subject of
much remark, and the Georgia yolun-
teers are mostly young men. The en-
thusiasm and vigor of youth are Of
great value in war. Our boys are GO
ing out with light hearts and with
the flush of confidence on their cheeks.
They will gain experience rapidly and
many of them will distinguish them
selves. The youth of the country has
responded nobly to the call for troops
as American youth always has. In
every one of our wars young men have
won glorious names and frightened
the pages of American history.
