MINES MADE FOR SPAIN



Bought tho Apparatus In London Some
Years Ago.
A recent dispatch from London
states that details have been OBJ.
tanned by the associated press of
the manufacture of submarine
mines in London for the Spanish
government. An electrical engineer
has made public statement that
he sold to Spanish officers in Lon
don several years ago a large num-
Der of mines, 8 or 10 Of which were
placed in Havana harbor. He said
they were made in a specially con-
structed cable, which he can iden.
tify if the smallest piece is pro-
duced, and he added that some of
the mines were fixed go they could
be fred from a fort, while two of
them had bulbs SO arranged that
they would explode upon q vessel
coming in contact with them.
The electrical engineer exhibited
plans of one of these mines, which
be said was the most likely to pro-
duce the effect described as causing
the wreck of the Maine. 1t was
nu nbered SO" and was constructed
to contain 500 pounds of gun cotton.
Lieutenant Commander Colwell.
the United States naval attache, has
since investigated the matter and
he made a report on the subject to
the United States government. The
facts learned tend to strongly show
that Havana harbor was mined and
unquestionably prove that Spain
purchased mines for that purpose.
The manager of the Western Engi.
neering Company, which is the sue
cessor of the firm with which the
informant is connected, confirms
his statement as to the manufacture
of. mines for Spain.

South Dakota's Quota.

according to the statement Of Adult
ant General Humphrey of this state.
there will be no apportionment Of South
Dakota troops under the second call for
$4,000 volunte ers, says late Sioux Falls
special. Gov. Lee is being besieged by
applications for commissions by those
desiring to form independent comp inie s.
Regarding the dispatch sent out by the
Associated Press few days ago stating
that South Dakota's quota under the
new call would be lilo men Adjutant
General Humphrey said:
There seems to be false impression
both as to the call and South Dakota's
quota. The subject Of the call, as we
understood it. to Gil the existing regi-
ments organized under the first call to
The maximum limit of the regular army
of l0S officers and men to company.

the present call for $4,000. The news
paper reports that the South Dakota
quota under the call will be l,l00 is
absurd. The just spportionment for
South Dakota under the cali for l25 900
was only 625 men, and in call for an
additional c5,000 would be only 4O5,
making a total Of ! .030 men under both
calls. The fact that South Dakota has
already furnished more than l.4O0 vol
un.eers makes it easy to perceive the
sbsurdity Of the newspaper quota as
signed to US. Any further trouble and
expense incurred in organizing com
panies is therefore unwarrsuted till
such time as oficial authority has been
given US for the organization of another
regiment, of which duo notice will be
given"

Fifty Cent Dollars.

A New York special says, one Of the
most interesting preparations for the
Quitting Of the Manila expedition has
just been announced. The government
has jus. purchased 250.OOO Mexican ell
yer dollars, which General Merritt will
take along to defray expenses CT the sx.
petition. This is not expected to last
long, but more will be sent BY: pur-
chasing Mexican dollars a great saving
is made. 1t is possible to obtain Mexi-
can dollars at 46 cents each thus obtain
ing for one American dollar two Mexican
ones and leaving s cents over In other
words Uncle Sam was able to buy 250, 900
Mexican dollars for $4,000. In the
Philippines Mexican dollar will buy
more than the American dollar, SO that
the expenses of General Merritts expedi-
tion, after it once arrives in Manila,
will be less than one-half what they
would otherwise be. AS 10 the soldiers,
they will fare excellently under this ar
rrngement, for they will of course be
paid according 10 law, American money.
The paymaster will give each soldier
two Mexican dollars for every American
dollar due him on pay day.

The Sioux City Daily Journal pertin
emily says: The consummation of a
reciprocal commercial agreement with
France holds out not only the promise
Of mutual trade benefits, but is an as
surance that the peace between the two
nations is not likely 70 be broken on
account of our war with Spain. Ne.o,i-
ations are also in progress for a settle
ment of all the matters Of controversy
with Canada which haze created mild
friction with our neighbofs. The war
has been the means OF increasing the
cordial sentiment between the Uuited
States and Great Britain, and is putting
US on better terms with other peoples.
1t will drive from the hemisphere the
irritating thorn of Spanish misgovern-
ment, and further strengthen the pros
pect of an abiding peace. Our CONNER
cial position has been reinforced by the
demonstration OF our fighting prowess
in winning for US the respect Of the
world. If this small war makes for a
large peace it will have brought 10 us
substantial compensation. to sar moth
ing Of the humanitaiian heliicence to
Cuoa and the world.

The Plans Complete.

A Washington special Of the 3lst ult
to the Rapid City Journal says: The
plans are to have the American flag
over Santiago before the close Of the
present week. The feet under Com
modore Schley will enter the harbor
and make an attack on the Spa nish feet
as soon as the troops reach there which
will be not later than Thursday. The
Notifications are to be silenced and the
land forces will at once occupy them
and take charge of the lines leading to
the mines placed in the harbor so that
there will be no danger from that source
for the feet to enter and engage the
Spanish fleet now lying at anchor there.
II is now predicted that an engagement
will take place between the two fleets
on Friday or Saturday.
General Miles will reach Tampa to-
morrow morning and it is thought that
the last expedition should be on Cuban
soil not later than next Saturday.

were charged with wholesale fraud in

a wholly reliable source, that no such

opinion, is the richest portion of them,
