What is going to happen? The pro-
blem seems to me simple. We must
maintain the blockade of Cuba so Tar
as we have begun it. That blockade
ties up the effective force of half OF our
navy. The swift Spanish fleet cannot
be forced to fight our superior fleet.
They have provided themselves with
coal in abundance. While we nave
been chattering in our yellow Journals
and in some other very high places, IKE
SO many apes and balloons, the span
lard has been quietly Saving WOOD, .
and a good lot of it, too. We have told
him all our plans, and he has not told
us his plans
What will he do? With his swift fleet
he will not probably dash himself
against Sampson and Schley In cuban
waters. Suppose, however, he makes
drive at Hampton Roads, seeking to de-
stroy our two great battleships now
there, and nearing completion, the
Kearsage and Kentucky, what will he
find there? He can get there long be-
fore Schley or Sampson, and neither
can stop him. He will find there the
guns of Fortress Monroe, mostly anti
quated, mines dewey was not scared
at them) and the Newark and New
Orleans, good but inferior boats
The appearance Of the swift Spanish
fleet off Fortress Monroe would force
Sampson and Scfiley north, and before
they could catch the Spaniard he could
steam back to Cuban waters and smash
the blockade.
If the Spaniard has supplied himself
with coal, and it seems as If he had,
the swift fleet Of Cervera will break
the blockade of Cuba, and we are chas-
ing will of the wisp" in the Philip
pines, which win be forever calling for
more troops and more ships.
The best way to assist Dewey is to
call him home and set him at work do
ing up another Spanish fleet We need
his fast boats. we have not the right
kind of a navy to blockade Cuba and
chase after the swifter Spaniard-a
| fruitless Job.
Will some naval or military genius
arise and tell us how, in our efforts to
drive Spain out Of Cuba, we should un-
dertake the job Of governing some sew
en- millions of queer strange Malays and
other such stuff in the Philippine Is
lands? Can the United States, after
| wrestling the Philippines from Spanish
| misrule, turn them back to Spain for
Cuba or. for any other purpose?

Watches used to run railroad trains
must be accurate. On the Atchison
lire, all the watches are tested for
twenty four hours in each one of three
positions, pendant up, dial UP and dial
down, and the permissible limit of err
ror Is just six seconds. A watch losing
three seconds in twenty-four hours in
one position, gaining three in another,
and losing three in third, is accepted,
the extreme variation being only six
seconds; a watch gaining fifteen Sec

Perhaps the Philippine insurgents
will not be valuable help for the United

paid 100000 by the Spanish government
to desert their cause and followers and
to leave the islands. The sum was
placed in banks at Hong Kong subject
to the order Of Aguinaldo, and this

OVER 1900 SICK AT MONTAUK.
Although Many Are Discharged Daily the
Hospitals Are Crowded.

New YORK, Aug. "a. There arc now
in the hospitals at Camp WikoR, Mon.
tauls Point, more than 200 men. OF
these about 900 are in the general hos
pital and annex. Three hundred are
in the hospital in the detention camp.
Many of those in the general hospital
are improving and some are discharged
as well every day. The situation in
the hospitals is excellent.
The total number Of typhoid cases is
295. Some of the typhoid patients are
daily removed to New Haven. In n
day or SO the remaining typhoid pa
tients will be taken to New York or
Boston. The idea is to send the men
to the nearest hospitals and thus make
the journey as short as possible.
The Rio Grande will be converted
into hospital ship for use at Mon

for an indefinite time. II is evident
that until more hospital accommoda-

The official weather report issued by
the University OF Nebraska shows that
the past week has been cool with
scattered showers. The average daily
temperature deficiency was 3 degrees
in the eastern counties and slightly
less than degrees In the western.
The last days OF the week were warm,
with maximum temperature Of about
or slightly above 90 degrees. The rain
fall of the week has been very light,
consisting OF few very light scat
tered showers, the total rainfall being
generally less than quarter OF an
inch and exceeding half an inch only
parts OF Hitchcock and Furnas coun-
ties. The past week has been very
favorable for corn In most sections of
state. and the crop generally has i'm
proved In condition. In the region
where corn was injured by the July
drouth many fields of late corn have
silked out and commenced to form
ears since the rains Of the first week
in August With n late frost and
favorable weather these fields will
yield a fair crop of corn. Corn in its
advancement toward maturity Is very
uneven and generally backward. The
entire month OF September free from
frost will be required to mature most
of the late corn. Much of the corn,
however, will be matured beyond in
jury by frost by the 18th of Septem-
ber. Grasshoppers have damaged
corn in the southwestern counties
Threshing and hay-making have made
good progress. Flowing for fall wheat
is general, with ground in good con-

ago advices were received from Cen
eral Merritt, in which he announced
that for the present his force at Manila

The government, however, while act

some OF the troops now there may
have to be recalled and replaced by
others.
There is at San Francisco and vicin-
