Discovery ofCoaI

Some time ago IL was proposed 70 cels-

THE SHIPS ARE OURS.

Dewey is going to raise some Of the
Spanish ships he sunk in Manila. They
are ours, it only becoming necessary to
| sink them to render the title unques
toned. Now it is said that Sampson
| has sent word to Cervera that the
! Spanish cruisers and torpedo boats
must not be destroyed unless the Span
ish government is willing to pay an
! indemnity for them at the close of the
war, and it is possible that those fine
vessels may be saved and added to the
! United States navy.
OF course Cervera has the right to
! blow up his ships to prevent their fall
| ing into the hands of the Americans,
| but, on the other hand, we have the
! right to demand indemnity for them.
The Spanish fleet has, to all intents and
| purposes, been captured by the Ameri-
cans. Its escape has been cut off by
the American fleet and the hull Of the
Merrimac lying in the entrance to San
tiago harbor, and it is only question
Of time when we shall take possession
Of the four cruisers and two torpedo
boats unless they are destroyed in the
meantime.
Admiral Sampson is complete master
of the situation at Santiago, and he is
in a position to dictate to Cervera, for
the Spanish commander is at the mercy
Of the Americans, or will be as soon as
our invading army arrives on Cuban
soil.
Sampson showed more wisdom in bot
Ting up Cervera than in sinking him,
for had he entered the bay and sue
ceeded in destroying the Spanish fleet
he would have been almost certain to
have lost some of his own vessels In
the close quarter conflict.

Fort Scott, Kan, June II, 1S98.-Yours of
the 18th instant, inviting me to be pres
ent at the ratification meeting to be held
at the Auditorium in Wichita on June
nth, is at hand I regret that my alb
sence in the east will prevent my accep-
lance of your kind invitation. The Hutch
inson convention made no mistake when
1t nominated Stanley for governor. In my
opinion, based upon a reasonably fair
knowledge Of the condition OF things IN
Kansas, thirty thousand is a modest esti-
mate Of his majority next fall. Our peo-
pie are to be congratulated upon the mag
nificent ticket given them, and their APP
probation will be shown by an old-time
Republican victory. Yours, truly.
