different G. A. r, posts to expend for SINH
lar purposes More than this, hundreds of
sick and needy have been visited and COM
forted, nIinistrations that cannot be meas
ured in dollars and cents. In consideration
of the fact that the G. A. R. is now consd-
ering the matter of admitting soldiers of the
present war to mem mbership in that organiza-
tlon, new question arises for the Relief
Corps to settle, of admitting the wives,
mothers and daughters of these soldiers to
membership in the order
The State secretary, Mrs. A. NJ. Sawyer of
Portland, submitted her report, which
showed that the total number of corps Dec.
-
surrendered their charters, making the num-
Der at present 63, with a total mem bership of
1886, showing slight falling off during the
last six months on account of the surrender
of charters Ivy three corps, no new ones hav-

time the order has suffered the loss of SO
members by death.

years she had made her home with her son,
L. A. Bowler. which proved great comfort
to her in her last years Beside this son she

tives and acquaintance to mourn their loss
Mrs. Bowler joined the Free VIII Baptlst

her death her life was one of Christian hope

to die is gain" Thus passed as ripe
shock of grain into the garner OF the great
King this devoted life. The funeral was
held from the NJ. E. church and the services
We're conducted by Rev. 7. R. Pentecost. No
more fitting testimony could have been
given of the esteem in which our beloved
sister was held than the large gathering
which assembled on the occasion. The
music by the choir was very effective
especially her favorite hymn which she had
learned 20 love 80 much Sin that City" The
flowers were very appropriate, the white and
the green blending so as to break the
monotony of the occasion. Her body was
laid to rest in the family lot at North
Palermo in the confident hope of the resur-
rection of the Just.

The town of Juraquicito (Shibonev)
was burned July 13, under the orders Of
the army health authorities. The place
was used by the U. S. troops as a landing
place and hospital for the forces beseigin9

fearful and the only remedy was to purify
it by fire. The action was taken at the
urgent request of Maj. Legardo of the

unhealthful and dirty buildings and driv-
ing away scores of Cuban followers whose
presence was serious inconvenience to

steadiness of mind and heart, like the true
mariner he was, he patiently waited until
that last wave of parental care should for
ever land him free of the breakers of sorrow
and suffering. The striking personally of
Capt. Greeley was his simplicity of charac-
ter. His face and speech betrayed the sin
certify OF his purpose. From acquain-
tance with him which began with the writ
er's boyhood, and which partook of the re-
lations of neighbor, FRIEND companion on
many OCCASIONS and fellow townsman, he
ever evinced that modesty of demeanor and
OF doing which is most truly becoming in
man. Many an act of kindness has emanat-
ed from his hand which bore with it no hint
as to its origin; and if he was capable of
speech to-day it would be to say to those
who would honor him to be only mildly
consistent in enumerating whatever there
was which was good He will be sincerely
mourned by all who recognized and knew
his sterling qualities as a man. His funeral
took place from his late residence on We'd

captured, Spain was vanquished as com
pletely as though we had occupied every
portion of her territory.
The promptness and clearness with
which the administration at Washington
perceived this early change in the channel
of the war and adopted its plans to meet
each new requirement can be spoken of
only with enthusiastic praise The course
of events could not have been foreseen
at the opening of hostilities, yet the Presi-
dent has met each new phase of his rap
idly expanding responsibilities firmly and
fifty and now is able to impose on Spain
such conditions as satisfy every national
ambition and equally satisfy the sense of
justice of the civilized world.
The emergency preparations the call
for volunteers, the, auxiliary navy, the
various demonstrations of power in re-
serve, have been essential to the general
result, although they have not been called
into active play. The actual victory was
won by the means already at hand, the
permanent army and navy, but the I'M
used force was necessary for their moral
support and most necessary to the moral
effect of their achievement. SPANS own
armies, except that of Toral have scarcely
been employed at all, but with her navy
gone and fresh American army ready
for the field, the hopelessness of con-
tinued resistance is thus early forced home
to her and she sues for peace on our own
terms.
OF course there has been laundering in
administrative details-as when was there
not ?-the criticism of which is proper and
necessary But in the general conduct
of this extraordinary contest, from the
date of the destruction of the Maine until
to day, there has been shown a clear
sighted and thoughtful craftsmanship. a
sound judgment in the face of new condi-
lions and quick appreciation of new
duties with which we can feel more than
satisfied and give the highest encourage
ment that the nation may equally meet
the unaccustomed responsibilities that
will come with the declaration of peace

The Surprises of the war.

While there were some thoughtless per-
sons who talked as though it would be an
easy thing to drive the Spanish out of
Cuba, we do not think there was any in
telligent expectation, when war was actual
ly entered upon in April, that it would be
concluded SO effectively and with such
far-reaching consequences in little more
than hundred days. Indeed the far
reaching consequences of the war scarce
ly entered into public expectation at all
The liberation of Cuba was the utmost
that was contemplated, and for this it
was recognized that a considerable army
must be organized and prepared and that
naval operations must be undertaken that
at the outset would probably involve some
losses.
We were better prepared than we sup
posed or the enemy worse prepared. The
war has been fought and won on lines that
had never entered into the general calcu-
lation, though they may have been mag
ined by few. The conquest of Havana,
the one thing that everybody supposed
essential, has not been even attempted,
and Captain General Blanco whom all
expected to be the Spanish champion,
will surrender his command without hav-
ing fired a shot. Yet Spain has lost not
only Cuba but all of her West Indian pos
sessions and her power in the East Indies
as we'll History built up through four
centuries has been changed in four
months
II was easily to be conjectured consid-
ering how much greater were the re-
sources of the United States than those of
Spain, that long and persistent war
might lead ultimately to such results; but
that professedly military nation, with a
large army and supposedly efficient navy
could be thus quickly humbled by home
keeping nation thought to be in no way
equipped, was beyond any reasonable ex-
pectation. 1t was the appearance Of
Dewey's squadron at Manila that changed
the whole aspect of the war Not only
was its field thus vastly expanded, but it
was at once converted from contest for
the control of Cuba alone to duel be-
tween the two powers, in which the enemy
was to be struck wherever he could be
reached The completeness of Deweys
naval victory had also thrown an added
importance on the remaining Spanish
fleet, whose presence at Santiago made
that the decisive battlefield and when
the fleet had been destroyed and the army /
