Here comes the outspoken Democrat
ic Brooklyn Eagle saying in effect
that the action of Secretary Alger is a
great disappointment to Bryan and
Governor Holcomb. That paper says
it has learned from populistic sources
only next in authority to Mr.. Bryan
himself, just what his purpose and
that of Governor Holcomb were.''
The Eagle tells the story in these words
William J. Bryan neither desired
nor intended to go to war. He desired
and intended to appear very anxious
to go to war, but he has always earn.
estly hoped that the administration
would make his departure impossible
in q way TO enable him to say that he
tried to 60, but was not permitted to
do SO. The plan was for Governor
Holcomb to manage or to muddle the
quota question between Nebraska and
the United States in such way that
"Bryan's regiment" as whole,
could not be ordered out at once,
while the depletion of it, to make good
deficiencies in other Nebraska reei-
ments would leave it SO small that
nothing would be left to Mr.. Bryan
but his commission, his grievance
against the administration and his in.
tensilied posture toward the future as

This revelation of the schemes which
Mr.. Bryan and his friends have been
working is made by a Democratic
paper. Republicans may have sus-
pected stage play on the part of the Ne
braskan, but they could not say SO
lest their motive be impugned. Mr..
Bryan's courage is not brought into
question. His disappointment in hay-

FOR 0OvERNOR.

Of the three candidates for gov
ernor. prominent in the anti-con-
vention campaign,-Van SAINT, Eus-
tbs and Collins-preeminently the
one to make assurance doubly sure
at the polls is Judge Collins. lden-
titled with no faction, free from any
"machine" alliances or entangle-
ments, he is best calculated to line
up the party for vigorous. unified
and aggressive work. In point of
fitness and ability he is ideally
qualified for the administration of
state affairs. AS a vote-getter. a
man to awaken enthusiasm within
the party and to command the re-
spect of all parties, he is easily
first. His campaign would be pos
tive, aggressive and non-apoIo-
getic.
Judge Collins at the head of the
state ticket would add strength to
every campaign in the state-Con-
gressional in particular. The con-
dition to be faced in this "off" year
is republican apathy, supine ac-
quiescence in a state of affairs
which is, all things considered, very,
satisfactory in the state. To get
the republicans to the polls is the
great desideratum. The democrats
and their populist allies always
vote whenever opportunity offers.
the enthusiasm necessary to assure
the reelection of every congress
man in the state will. be- aroused
by Judge Collins, whose record
whenever he has been candidate,
either local or state, is simply phe-
nomenal. He is impregnable.

WHILE the true status of the po-
litical situation in the state of Min
nesota may not have changed
within the past week, it has at least
been uncovered. Governor Clough
is an aspirant for a third term as
governor and the party may as
well face the fact two weeks before
the convention, and prior to the
primaries, as to have it forced into
view at the state convention. The
HERALD does not profess to say, in
fact does not believe, that Govern
or Clough thrust Mr.. Van SAINT for
ward as the administration candi-
date with any sinister purpose. He
was honest in his friendliness for
Van SAINT. or at least in his un-
friendliness for another possible
candidate whose ambition he sought
to smother In utero, and succeeded.
Subsequent events connected with
the war, and Governor Clough's
judicious management of the affairs
of his office in connection with the
Minnesota troops, led a great many
people to give very friendly express
sion of feeling for Clough; again,
there was belief that Mr.. Van
SAINT was the governors personal
candidate, and they very frankly
say that they prefer Clough in
person to any representative he
may see fit to put in his place.
Frankly, the HERALD believes this
to be an unfair view both as to
Clolgh and Van SAINT. However
there is strong disposition to ad-
vance Governor Clough to his
own succession. -

LEAVING SANTIAGO.
Fifteen Thousand People Were Strung Out on the Roads From That City.

 Fifteen Thousand People Were Strung
 Out on the Roads From That City. Copyrighted, 1898. by the Associated Press.
 El Cany, Province of Santiago dc Cuba, Tuesday Evening, July }, per the Associated Press Dispatch Boat Dandy, via Port Antonio and Kingston, July :. Fifteen thousand refugees today filled the roads leading from Santiago to El Clancy, Boniato, San Yincente San Luis and adjacent places. The exodus was i'll response to proclamation by General Rosa, 8 political general in Santiago, who gave all people desirous cf leaving the city, to escape the bombardment a chance to go between o'clock and 9 o'clock this morning. The time between the issue of the proclamation and the period set for leaving gave only a small opportun- ity for transporting household effects or any of the comforts of life, particularly as the Spanish authorities had for bid- den an horse or carriage to be taken from the city, as horses are needed there for carrying water to the men in the trehches. The way to Fl Clancy is long and the weather excessively hot. As the fugitives had no means of carrying water, and as there is none on the road between Santiago and Fl Clancy, there was great suffering. Men, women and children lay alongside the road, wherever there was a small patch of shade, begging passersby, particularly soldiers, with dangling canteens for water, which was always freely ten- dered.
 One old man with long silver beard was carried up long road on & litter by four men. When they reached the town all the available space was occu- pied and no place was found for the sick man but spot of bare ground ill the middle of the plaza.

WOUNDED SOLDIERS
 AT KEY WEST.
Despite Their Injuries They Are a Jolly Set. and Want to Return
 and Fight Again.

Key West Fla, Jnly S.--Six hundred and twenty-five wounded heroes of San. tiago brought here by the Iroquois are all doing well and none are in danger They are distributed between the marine and convent hospitals and an un. used cigar factory which had been pre- vionsly used for such purposes
 All officers and some of the men are quartered at the convent hospital where the nuns are doing fine service as nurses. At all places the utmost care and skill full medical and surgical attention are devoted to the wounded. These wound ed warriors, returning to their native soil after their glorious achievements i'll the field, were, strange to say, received in rather cavalier fashion.
 Mostof the men laugh at their wounds. They want to go back, for they have tasted real fighting and are hungry for more. It was learned that as they fell Ill the firing lines at Santiago the eorpo- rals hustled them to the rear, but in nearly every case the moment make shift bandages were swathed about their wounds they pushed again to the front until it eventually became necessary to strip them of their cartridge belts.
 Said one of them, in telling this of the others; Damn It, they had to stay back then. They had nothing to fight with.
 They talk of the two days bloody bat tie in the most unconcerned way inn aginable. One man was struck by 8 Mauser bullet while in the act of firing his revolver. The ball struck his right forearm, between the wrist and elbow. It went straight through the forearm, then penetrated the upper arm, struck his right side and passed through his body, coming out at the left side. Strange to say he will not die, but he swears he will mako his way back to Cuba and score at least 10 dead Span- iards for each of his gashos.
 All are loud in their praises of the fighting qualities of the Spanish troops, but say their losses must be enormous. Of our own dead and wounded, extray- agant figures were given by many, but they place the figures for the two days fighting at between 1900 and 1900, per haps 300 of whom were killed.

TIE Chicago daily papers were issued last Wednesday for the first time since June the Both, owing to a strike on the part of the Stereo- typers' Union. The union demand ed an advance from $3 p . day, eight hours labor and soc per hour for extra time, to $4 day, seven hours labor and 75c per hour for extra tiae. The publishers immediately organized to meet the demands of the Stereotypers Union. To the unions demand the publishers re- piled that in consequence of the war, print paper and telegraph tolls had advanced to such an ex- tent that the net increase from tLe sale of papers was not proPortionate to the increased cost, and that they were therefore unable to meet the stereotypers demands, but offered 10 submit the matter to arbitration. The stereotypers declined to arbi- trate it, and said the publishers must either comply with their de- mands at once or there would be no newspaper printed in Chicago the next morning. The publishers then made common cause, and again declined to accede to the stereo- typers' demands, and suspended publication until other arrange ments could be made. Hence the Chieagoans were without news
 papers, morning or evening, until last Wednesday when all the daily papers were issued on the haif- shell. There was not therefore a paper in Chicago to chronicle the victory of the American fleet at Santiago, aud the Chicagonese were forced to rely solely on outside and delayed newspapers for their war news. There were neither news. papers nor bulletins in Chicago during that exciting .eriod. Just how the Chicago daily papers are being issued now they do not say, but for the present the usually twelve page paper is reduced to four. And in the mean time the Chicagonese are short on war news. It is 3 remarkable condition for as wonderful city as Chicago.
