\ Concerning the War.

June 10: Dispatches have been
received stating that the Amerl-
cans today bombarded Daiquiri.
Spanish advices report no DANA. e
done.
June II: A detachment of
Marines 600 strong has landed
at Guantanamo, about 40 miles
from Santiago, and the stars and
stripes now wave over that city.
This is said to be an excellent base
of operations for the American
army.
June II: Orders have been is
sued for the embarking of tie
army of invasion Immediately.
June -: The President will
appoint about 200 second lieu'en
ants, graduates Of State military
academies being preferred.
June 13: The first army of in
vaslon to Cuba is now we'll on its
way. Thirty-two transport steam
ships, bearing $4,000 officers an 1
men, left Key West this morning
at daybreak.
June Is: 1t is stated by the
foreign press that Spain is now
for peace on any terms. She
realizes that her fight is a hopeless
one, and that the sooner the war
ceases the better for her. Any
peace proposal that does not en-
anate from the enemy will be &C
cepted. However, the interna-
tional mediation which would be
especially welcome on the part OF
Spain would be in the case of the
initiative being taken by Austria
or France.
Jan IS: Cen. Lee has heen in
structed to prepare an army Of for,
tv thousand men to move on Ha'
wanna. The proposed army it is
thought can be raised in thirty
days.

We sincerely trust, as we be-
lieve, that the coming campaign
will be conducted upon a higher
plane of morals than some wit
messed in the recent past. There
is no need to inaugurate system
of bitterness or to inject personal
tiles into the discussions, and
should it begin the people ought
to stay away from the meetings.
We are entering upon a neS and
better era. The passions of the
past have been almost wholly OBJ

We gather from an article in the
Washi Dgton Post that Gen. Miles
started for the front fully panopli
ed. He was accompanied by one
cf the finest special railway trains
that ever left Washington; by
members of his family, ladies and
gentlemen, by several porcelain
bath tubs, a we'll filled larder; some
hundreds of trunks full, we sup
pose, of defensive armcr, torpedoes
cut decollette, and mines probab-
lv creased down the front of the
leg; and by a large and gloriously
uniformed staff. We are a bit
nervous as we read that Gen.
Miles's special car is a luxurious
affair, the rear OF it arranged for
observation purposes and the rest
divided into compartments for
sleeping and for serving meals;
Why the rear only? However, this
bit of Oppressive news is partly re-
moved by the statement that one
of the lieutenants with the party
"wore the uniform Of light brown
crash" Crash has military sound
at last, and as it was about the only
war word in the Posts account we
dwell upon it land shall remember
it.
In the mean time, as this grand
special train rests in Tampa, while
lie general of the army occupies
suite of rooms at the best holel, i,
would be ungracious to recall thai

By fundamentally refusing to
take Porto Rico and Havana in
the first week of the war We
brought upon ourselves the bother
and trouble which Cervera has
caused us. Once he was safely
on this side of the Atlantic, OF
course he had to be got out of the
way before the real business of
ending the war by solar-plexus
blows could be prosecuted.
After wasting twenty three
davs on Cervera we had the good
fortune, thanks to the genius of
Lieut.. HobSon, to transform him
from a lively menace into a help
less corpse.
Cervera is dead, and he knows
it. We "put him out of the way"
ami don't know it.
Instead of goi" g about our busi-
ness, here we are kicking and
stabbing away at the corpse with
I,J;,rorc forocitv
Anything to prolong the war.
Anything, even clownish dancing
on Cervera's grave, to save our
selves from the necessity Of really
doing something.

out, followed by notaries, in strings.
Where one signature could be had for
a man on the ticket that same sigma
ture could be had for the others, so
they hunted in twos and threes. Sheriff
WAGNER and Herman Oppenheim have
tremendous lists, and so has Anton
Miesen. William Platte has some to
spare. John Cavanagh had closed his
list up early and was out helping Frank
ElIerbe in the Tenth and Eleventh,
where people are not numerous, and
a good deal of ground has to be COW
cred. w. B. Hennessy made something
of a record in the Eighth and Ninth by
getting 1856 signatures, himself and
notary, in a trlf1e over two hours, work.
ing in the workshops and among labor
ing men.
Anton Miesen was also out for a
record, and he had a half-dozen assist
ants. His returns were not all in last
night, but he will have a list long
enough to keep County Auditor Sulli-
van busy counting for several hours.
Frank Files did his work to a great
extent in the wards where he IS best
known, the Eighth and Ninth, and cas-
lily finished his list. It is possible that
there are some few lists still unflnish-
ed, but there is plenty Of material to
work on and men to do the work.
Altogether last night saw finished the
best days work in politics that the
Democratic party has performed in
many a year. and the result leaves no
possible room for doubt Of the popular

Fred c. Stevens hopes to be reelected
to congress, and while the working
girls who had their money in the Min
nesota Savings bank, of which he was
president and director, would not vote
for him even if they had the right to
vote, Mr. Stevens feels assured that
he will receive the support OF other
victims Some of the people who had
J. H. Southall's bogus time checks,
which purported to obligate the United
States government for $40 per obllgate
or so, are hoping that Mr.. Stevens Will
have q bill passed through the federal
congress reimbursing those who were
nipped on this class of paper.
1t is not expected that any bill will
be introduced to reimburse the depos
itors in the bank of which Mr.. Stevens
was president, but by the innocent
holders Of SouthaH paper, who took it
because 1t promised uSuriOus dividends,
the congressman from the Fourth dis
trict is looked to to endeaVor to save
them at least.
OF course Uncle Sam may be so busy
paying for the Cuban war and build
ing new barracks in Oriental archipel-
agOes that he may not find time to
pass any bill Mr.. Stevens might be
kind enough to introduce next session,
but, if the good people of the Fourth
district keep on electing Mr.. Stevens,
he may get one through In about ten
years at $4,000 a year.
Mr.. Stevens was quite intimate in a
business way with Mr.. SOuthall, now
under indictment. They have been ac-
quainted fer years AS far back as
1892 these men mortgaged to Mary F.
Goodrich lot IA, Of block 6, of Forest
Lawn addition, which, to designate it
better perhaps to the ordinary citizen,
is at the corner of Wheeler avenue and
Thomas street, in the northeastern part
Of what is commonly known as Mer-
Ram Park Mrs. Goodrich, who is a
widow also living at the park, was the
mortgage. She bid in the property,
when the mortgage was fOreclosed
about ten days ago, at $643.86. The
original mortgage was only $500. The
rest is in interest and back taxes.
While there has been talk Of trying
to have congress reimburse the holders
of the Southall paper, there has been
no talk of any bill to reimburse the
working girls who used to walk up to
nights and put their hard-earned saw
ings in Mr.. Bickels bank, Of which
Mr.. Stevens was president.
They do say that a number of the
people of Merriam Park, where Mr..
! Stevens lives, are looking forward with
interest to the happy day when the
innocent holders of Southal paper
will be reimbursed by Uncle Sam. 1t
is a matter of record that the Mer-
RAM Park bank, or it's officers, had
large quantity of the Southall paper at
the time of the sensational exposure
last spring. At that time a number of
st. Paul gentlemen went to Washing
ton and talked over the possibility of
making Uncle Sam stand all the losses.
