SPAklARDS TO BLAME.
Report on the Shooting of the Prisoners
on the Harvard.


Washington. Oct l0.-Colonel Dudley.
assistant judge advocate general. has
made a report to the secretary of war on
the trouble which occurred on board the
Harvard soon after the naval fight at
Santiago. At that time some five or six
hundred Spanish prisoners were on board
the ship under guard of the Massachu-
setts and Michigan volunteers. A riot oc-
CURED among the prisoners and the SOL
diers shot several of the Spaniards before
quiet was restored. The Spaniards claim
ed that the Americans were to blame,
while the American officers defended the
action of their men. Colonel Dudley sus-
tains the contention of the American offi-
GERS and sailors and places the b,ame for
the trouble upon the Spanish prisoners.
The entire report will not be made pub
ltc at the present time because OF the re-
Elections upon the conduct Of the Spanish
prisoners. The war department does not
wish 10 do anything that will cause ILL.,
feeling between the nations while the
peace negotiations are pending.

Troops Prepared to Move.

Washington. Oct. 10-Ofiicials of both
the war department and the interior

that the seriousness Of the Indian up
rising In Minnesota has been exas yerat-

take anything for granted. Adjutant
General Corbin telegraphed General
Bacon tonight. saying he could have
all the troops he might need to quell
the demonstrations of the hostiles. The
4th infantry, now at Columbus bar
racks, have been placed at General Ba-
cons disposal. Both regiments are pre-
pared to move TO the scene Of the upris-
ing at a few hours notice.

IT'S AN AGREEABLE RELIEF
The Premier Has Burned His Bridgss
Behind Him-Paris Newspaper
Take . Calm View.

London. Oct 10-The comments in
the newspapers show that the Marquis
OF salisbury's determined stand ON the
question OF the occupation OF Fashoda
has come as a most agreeable relief
and as disposing of all theories Of COM
promise. No whisper OF dissent is heard
anywhere. Both friends and opponents
OF the premier are rejoicing in the fact
that In publishing the blue book on
the Fashoda question Salisbury has
burned his bridges behind him.
While 1t is recognized that the situa-
tion by this publication has become
more difficult for France. there Ia al
most an entire absence Of disposition
anywhere to believe that France pro-
poses to press her claims to the point
OF danger and this confidence was DEM
onstrated by the capital tone of the
stock exchange after q momentary
scare. Such comment % comes from
Paris also tends to abate alarm. The

Fashoda. Prudence should prevent us
from overioading ourselves with too
much territory. We must be colonial.
but in moderation"
The newspapers of Paris this evening
take q calm view Of the situation and

sincere desire for a friendly settlement

In speaking of the effect of peace
overtures on the stock market Henry
Clews says: '1he chief event of the
week affecting Wall Street interests has
been the peace o%vertures advanced by
Spain through M. Cambon, the French
ambassador at Washington. The cir
cumstance has had less effect on the
stock exchange than might have been
expected from an occurrence of such an
Importance. The truth is that the men
of finance lack confidence in Spain's
good faith-a natural enough conse-
quence of her well-earned reputation for
cr%aftiness in diplomacy; and dealers in
securities are therefore disposed to defer
d~iscounting the chances for peace until
further evidence is Forthcoming that she
is really prepared to negotiate in good
faith and upon a basis which the United
States would be likely to accept. The
Spanish government now stands be-
tween the fire of two parties-on one
side a large rural and commercial popu-
lation who desire peace and perhaps
would not be very exacting about terms,
and, on the other, the %aristocracy and
the army who are as yet tyo proud to
yield and have faith in the prowess of
their army and thinki it may redeem some
of SPANS lost fighting prestige"
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1898-08-05
AS TO TERMS OF PEACE.

The peace overtures from Spain are
made in a manner and are of such a
nature that the people of the United
States will give Spain a respectful hear
ing and her proposals full consideration.
The United States did not provoke
the war--do not wish to continue it
have not and do not now carry it on for
conquest. Spain must come prepared to
meet the reasonable and just demands
Of this government. She must settle,
in some way, with this government. Her
proposals must be broad and equal to
the situation. Her European advisers
must not build up false hopes in the
minds of the people of Spain, that the
people of the United States are so gener-
Gus that they will restore all the
captured islands and say Ego and sin
no more" They had better consider
what they would do if in the same posi-
ton as the United States. What would
they do with the captured islands and
what would they say about indemnity
for the cost of the war? Spain can de-
pend to a certain extent, on the big
heartedness of Uncle Sam, but she
must not expect a lack Of business
sagacity. Now is the time to make hon
orable and reasonable proposals. The
hearts and heads of the people of the
United States are in touch with the
spirit of peace and are waiting to. hea,
the proposals. Spain had better dea.
direct with this government. "Toe
many cooks spoil the broth.''

INSURANCE COMMISSIONER FANcHER
calls attention to some figures
relative to the receipts of the insurance
department during the past few years
contrast between those under his ad-
ministration and that of former years
that have been compiled and sent out.
The correspondent has stated that the
receipts during the pop administration
were something like $4,000 for the
biennial period. The records show that
during the pop period of 1884 the re-
ceipts were s47, 1880 During the next
period-1S95.6 when the republicans
again gained control the receipts were
s47, $40 and the expenditures were
reduced over s2,7OO. During the second
period-under Fancher-up to this date
the receipts have been s57, 1OO,O O-which
is a showing to be proud of-without
rejecting particularly on the pops-who
did the best they could.

OFFICIAL PAPER BuRLE|GH co.
AS TIC THE EsH

Editor Winship and the Grand Forks
Herald are ~endeavoring to get out from
under the responsibility of the defeat of
Judge Corliss for the supreme bench.
To make this effort more effectual
they have called into service the versa
tility of Cartoonist Straub, who presents
a thrilling picture in which a machine
boss is pulling Judge Corliss off the
bench. If Straub had substituted a
figure of selfishness as personified by
Winship, and represented that as drag
ging Judge Corliss to defeat, he would
have hit the solution Of the problem
exactly.
The fact of the matter is that the
combination that nominated the ticket
at Fargo was for Judge Corliss first, last
and would have been all the time, had
it not been for the fact that the Grand
Forks county delegation refused to sup
port Corliss when there was no further
chance for the nomination of Winship.
Unable to secure a nomination for
himself, Winship determined that no
other man in Grand Forks county
should be honored. At 3 o'clock in the
morning the Grand Forks county dele
CATION was asked if it would support
Corliss for the supreme bench, Winship
having 40 further chance.
Grand Forks county's delegation, at
the inspiration of Winship and Ander-
son, insisted that the delegation should
vote for no one but Winship. In short,
if Winship could not be nominated they
wanted no other Grand Forks man
recognized.
When the matter of the support of
Judge Corliss was suggested to Win
ships manager and spokesman Jim An
derson, he said: "To b. with Corliss.
We are not here for Corliss. We are
here for Wlnship."
In the light of these facts, Editor
Winship's efforts to make the people be-
lieve that Judge Corliss was defeated
because any "machine" did not want
him, are supremely ridiculous and hypo-
critical.
