A Statement Concerning the Work Of Two Months
War With Spain

Two months last Wednesday war
broke out between the United States
and Spain. according to the proclama-
ton of the president and the declara-
tion of congress The end of that
period finds nearly 10000 United States
troops lying off Santiago preparing to
land; 1t finds cable communication es-
tablshed between the government at
Washington and the advance guard of
the expedition in Cuba, and It finds
Cuban territory in the possession of
United States marines backed by a
squadron, and nearly all of the COM
mercial ports OF Cuba blockaded. This
is all apart from Dwey's great victory
at Manila, and from the splendid re-
suits achieved in organizing several
armies now in the camps. Therefore the
officers of the administration feel that
they have a right to look back with
pride over what has been accomplished
in the short space of two months, work
ing in a large part with raw material
in both the army and the navy.

committees to arrange the details for the
observance; Printing, Patrick skelton,
