COMING FROM PANDO.
Reinforcements for Linares at
Santiago.

Washington, June 25.-The news COM
ing from Jamaica that General Pando
is sending heavy reinforcements to the
Spanish General. Linares. in Santiago, is
likely to have the effect of fastening the
campaign against that town by the
Americans. Pando has 10, GOO soldiers at
Holguin less than 100 miles from Santi-
ago. They are the pick of the Spanish
army in Cuba and their commander is
known as the fighting general.
We're they to COM bine with the Spanish
force in Santiago the American campaign
might be very much prolonged. Two
factors have been relied upon to prevent
this combination. The first, the very
rough nature of the country between
Holguin and Santiago which would be
exceedingly difficult for troops to cover
unless than four or five days at the ear
liest. The second is the active efforts of
the Cubans to harrass the Spaniards on
the march and retard their movements.
With the force they now have in that
country, the Cubans could do this very
effectually, but they could scarcely under
take to absolutely check the whole Span
ish force of ten thousand men.
The reports from Santiago indicate that
the Spanish admiral is using his squad
ron exactly rs was anticipated to defend
the town from attack by soldiers in the
rear. The naval authorities here are sat-
isfied that no Spanish warship has es-
capped from Santiago harbor SO far as the
Spanish newspapers stories to the effect
that the t'cruiser Reina Christina escaped
from Santiago" ETC., were received here
with good deal of amusement.
AT last accounts that particular vessel
was living in the bottom of Manila bay,
where Dewey had sunk her on May Day.
The story is regarded as fair sample of
those put af1oat to deceive the Spanish
at home and give comfort to their friends
in Europe. The formal statement by the
Spanish minister of marine that the
Maria Christina had succeeded in running
the blockade in Cienfuegos, naturally de-
manded more attention than the first
publication, although the officials do not
hesitate to express doubt of It's accuracy.
This vessel is not, as may be supposed, q
formidable war craft, but is nothing
more than one Of the ships of the Com
payne Trans Atlantique of Cadiz, hastily
fitted up with few Ia inch Hontoria
guns, If she has gotten into Cienfueogs,
she has crossed over from some of the
smaller islands of the West Indies or may
be from Porto Rico.

TALK OF PEACE.
Significant Dispatches From
Madrid.

London, June 24.-The Madrid corres-
pondent of the Daily Telegraph, says:
When the Cortes closed, martial law
was proclaimed. The Sagasta cabinet
will resign and make way for new gov
ernment which will open negotiations
for peace.
The Madrid correspondent of the FL
nancial News, says:
"Senor Gamao will be the new premier
with Senior Salvador at the exchequer
and possibly two Silvelistas will join this
cabinet which will conclude peace and
prepare the way for Silvela cabinet.
There is no doubt that Spain will lose all
her colonies.
Admiral Camara left Cadiz to calm
public opinion. He we'll knows that
before he arrives at the Philippines peace
will be made.

~>>~~>>% o~~~>>>>>>~>>>>>

Washington, June A.-The war Is to
be carried into Africa, metaphorically
speaking, If Spain is fool-hardy enough
to send the Cadiz fleet through the Suez
canal to attack Dewey in the Philippines.
1t is announced on good authority that
before the last Spanish vessel has passed
through the CANAL an American SQUAD
ron will be steaming at full speed across
the Atlantic, straight for the coast Of
Spain, to bring the war home to the
Spanish people. There is no doubt
Dewey can take care of himself against
this Cadiz fleet, since his own squadron
will be reinforced by iron-clads long
before Camara's ships sight the bay of
Manila, and will have the shore batteries
with him instead Of against him in the
struggle. 4ut it has been concluded by
the administration that nothing save the
most severe measures will suffice to bring
the Spanish people to realizing sense of
the hopelessness of the present war and
even kindness, it is held, will dictate such
blow as that it is proposed to administer
if the Spanish persist in this last project.
After the fall of Santiago and the CAP
ture or destruction of Cervera's squadron,

sells to share for the task set for him.
Probably he will constitute the attacking
fleet in two squadrons, the first, a fly ing
squadron to be composed of the swlftest
vessels of the feet, such as the Columbia,
Minneapolis, Harvard, Yale, st. Louis,
st. Paul. New Orleans and such craft.
This will be followed, under another
commander, either Sampson or Schley,
by the battleships which Captain Clark's
experience with the Oregon has shown,
can easily be counted on for the voyage
across the Atlantic. With the Iowa, Ore
gon, Indiana, Massachusetts and Texas,
all battleships, supplementing the New
York and Brooklyn, armored cruisers and
the less powerful, but speedy vessels of
the flying squadron, the Spanish coast
would be speedily swept clear of all COM
merce. all Spanish shipping would be de-
stroyed and some of the best ports block
AIDED or bombarded.
No official news came to tho War De-
partment during Office hours from our
army near Santiago.

SPANIARDS WORRIED.

London, June 25.-All the special de

produced by Admiral Cervera's s despatch
and the threatening aspect of the politi.

Spaniards are sadly disappointed at the
ease with which Gen. Shafter effected g.

A Spy.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Would you be kind enough to
give through the columns of Your
paper some remedy to shut out the
ignorant voters On next election
day? | understand how the new
registration system will shut out
a great many, As the Democrats
framed that law with the intention
of shutting out all ignorant peo-
ple, / should like to see it success
ful. 1t seems from some cause,
some people have to have some
help to register; and it seems to be
done by sending the blanks through
the country by Democrats with the
| Instructions to show them to their
friends; and, IN this case, oil Dem.
ocrats, and no Populists, it seems,
are their friends.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I would sug-
gcst something like this: ''To
swear in a Deputy at each polling
place, to swear each voter, and
compare his oath to his registra-
tion paper" Do you think Gov
ernor Foster would agree to that!
and take bis oath instead of reg.
istration paper. Some say he
would not; and that brings another
thought to my mind. You see, il
we could have had our votes count.
ed last election, we would have had
Mr.. Pharr as Governor, then We
would have had the deputy, and
Of course, shut out some ignorant
Democrats that have received in
structions, but maybe you can show
us better plan. We will just wai
and hear from you.

AN AWKWARD BALLOT.

The Item on yesterday, in COM
menting upon the election to take
place this day, took occasion to de-
clare that lit is rendered ridicu-
lous by its grotesque surround
ings," and that ''neyer was a more
confusing and indefensible ballot
prepared. It is evidently the re-
suit of a weIl-laid scheme to dis
franchise the negro and the white
scum and oifscourings' Of the city
in anticipation of the action OF the
convention"
No more convincing proof Of the
absolute truthfulness Of this ami
madversion could be furnished than
comes to us in a message from
New Iberia. In this delightful lit
tle burough, where the ballots are
being deposited in q coffin box
brought from an undertaker's es-
tablishment, is the residence and
voting precinct of the Hon. Jo-
seph A. Breaux, one of the Asso-
ciate Justices Of the Supreme Court
Of Louisiana. This eminent jn-
rist, before ornamenting the bench,
had had an extensive experience in
thefeld Of politics, but this prov.
ed an insufficient safeguard against
the loss OF his right of suffrage.
The three minutes allowed under
the provisions of an absurd and
partisan election law afforded In
sufficient time within which tc
stamp out the thirty-eight or thir'
ty-nine circles that marked og'
the Democratic portion Of tht
forty-four inch ballot with which
he was equipped. We believe, tot
that the ticket as folded by Judg,
Breaux was not exactly in conf0r
NIFTY to the jealous demands of th'
suffrage enactment.
To add to the absurdity of al
incident which would be regarded
as whimsical but for the serious
ness Of the issue involved, Mr.. w
r. Burke, ex-mayor OF the sam
town and its present superintent @
education, was unable to vote b
reason Of the same obstacles. w

We are glad to state that most
Of our information regarding
frauds in the registration Of vo-
ters in this parish, on which we
commented last week, was exag-
gerated, and some Of it not true.
While, as Mr.. Porter admits in
his "Card," there may have been
some technical violations Of the
law, we should remember that this
was the first application of new
law "a bad one at that) about the
meaning of which there is much
difference of opinion, and we think
the Registrar and his Clerk have
done we'll.
The law was doubtless "stretcb-
ed" in a few instances to accom-
modate Democrats, but we know
of some instances where the Pop
ulists were shown especial favors,
and we have no ''kick" to make
against these men.
The law is a very bad one and
even that was violated in the refu-
sal to appoint a Populist for Clerk
of Registration, but we can thank
Gov. Foster for most of that.
