Ones to Join Miles in
Porto Rico.
Action in Accordance With the
Resolve to Prosecute War
Vigorously,
Notwithstanding the Appeal of
Spain---Miles Reports His
Landing.

WASHINGTON, July 28.-As a result
OF the Geographic correspondence be-
tween General Brooke, commanding
the First army corps, at Newport
News, and the officials of the war de-
partment, General Brooke was author
lied by Secretary Alger to push for
ward with his fast ships at once to
Porto Rico, leaving the slower trans
ports to follow when ready. This &C
ton was based on General Brooke's re-
port that the movement of his troops
was being delayed by the difficulty of
getting the troop equipment aboard
some of the transports. He suggested
that he be allowed to start at once
with such of the transports as were
ready, and Adjutant General Corbin
telegraphed him that the secretary of
war had approved his proposition, and
authorized him to act accordingly.
The action is in strict accord with
the policy of the administration, as an.
nounced by Secretary Alger, to prose.
cute the war vigorously in Porto Rico
and elsewhere, regardless OF the Span.
ish negotiations for peace. 1t is be-
lieved at the war department that Gen.
eral Brooke and a portion of his expe.
dition viii leave Newport News during
the day and that they will join Gen.
eral Miles forces in Porto Rico by Sun
day or Monday next.

A BRAVE NJ AN.

Captain Philip of the Texas is as
brave a man as ever lived, and the
quality of his bravery must com
mand universal admiration. After
participating in the fierce naval
battle which assisted in the des-
truction of Cervera's fleet Captain
Philip called all hands to the quart
er deck, and with barred heads
thanked God for the almost blood
less victory. lwantto make pub

'that believe in God. the Father Al

your hearts offer silent thanks to

ers of the Republican State Central
Committee will be removed to Mimi
eapolis, and it is proper that it
should. Its location is matter of
supreme indifference to the rural
republicans of Minnesota, both cit
les are equally accessible from ev-
cry part of the state. The Commit
tee will organize this Thursday
evening, and j. H. Steele of Mimi
eapolis will be the chairman, in all
probability. The nominee for Gov
ernor is resident of Minneapolis,
and he will give his time, after the
campaign oPens-abont September
10th, exclusivelyJto detail work,
and it will be far more convenient
to him to be in direct touch with
the Committee. The fact that st.
Paul has been headquarters for
years will make the change con-
spicnous, perhaps, but it is not APP
parent that st. Paul will materially
suffer nor Minneapolis be- especially
benefited by reason of it..

Reference has been made by
several newspapers throughout
the state, that Hon. Alvah Eastman
of st. Cloud was dropped from the
state committee because he was

Eustis. He was left off at his own
personal request made known d.
rectly to the charm n of the state
convention, and in conformity with
a determination expressed to the
writer Immediately following the
state Convention. Mr.. Eastman
has given freely of his time and
ability, and it is of no mean order,
for years in conducting state am

rest, but the gratitude of the repub-
lean party in the state.

PEACE IN SIGHT.

Spain has been waging war fol-
vindication of National honor" So
called, and now awakens to the
realization of the fact that she has
had sufflcincy. Stripped of her
richest colonies, she sues directly
for peace, and President Mckinley

and formulating terms. If sincere
in her desires to bring the war to a
speedy close this nation will meet
her with generous terms 1t was a
war for humanity, and we should
be false to our policy and to our
traditions did we exact more than
is reasonable. Having broken
Spain's power in the west so that
1t may never again be so exercised
as to demand from us further inter
venton, the only demands proba-
bic is the cesession of bases of sup
pies in Spanish insular belongings.
We do not expect such indemnity
as Will fully compensate us for our
expenditure Of treasure; that has
been well expended in demonstrate
ing to the world our naval and mil
itary capabilities. We have pur-
chase d something moe than res

The rich red American blood has
been offered upon the altar of hui
and a closer universal
brotherhood of nations. The world
has been advanced a century.

The State campaign will not act

planning of dust and dry weather,
but now their complaints are mud
and too much water. There is
some complaint made against one
of our thrifty colored farmers,

with the great down pour of rain
on last Thursday afternoon. On
Wednesday night, Alexander
heard a great commotion in his
fowl house and on examination
found large black chicken snake,
dispotching his young fowls. He
soon dispatched his snakeshir,
which was of an unusual size, and
measured seven feet in length.
Alexander had often heard that
