The urgent necessity for the Amer
leans to capture Porto Rico at the
earliest possible moment is seen on
all hands. The Pail Mall Gazette, OF
London, says "the seizure of Porto
Rico and the Philippines will place
America III position to dictate the
only terms she could possibly accept"
Carranza, Spain's late naval attache
10 the United States, in writing Ia
the Minister of Marine from Mon.
treal, said he WAS afraid lest the
Americans should seize Porto Rico
before attacking Havana. We ought
to have Porto Rico in our hands be,
fore We finish the conquest of Cuba
We can demand it ss indemnify o.
course, if Spain gives up before VIC
seize it, but matters would be simpli
fed much if we should have the
island in our possession, or even have
its principal port, before Spain's col
lapse comes. 1t is easier aod cheaper
for US to seize Porto Rico now than i
will be in some future war.

A Hearty American Endorsement.

The announcement that new COM
mercial convention has been uegoti'
ated with France is welcome one.
1t shows that, busy as we are with
Spain, we yet have time for other
things, and that We are proceeding
upon the confident calculation that
the conclusion of the war will still find
us in ship.shape for all the essential
affairs of every day life. 1t puts a
quietus on talk about foreign inter.
vention, and confirms all previous as.
sertions that, in the matter of hostili.
ties, we are dealing with Spain alone.
The principle of reciprocity has a
hearty American Endorsement. 1t ia
the American plan, indeed, for the
judicious enlargement of trade boun.
daries. Absolute Free. Trade has
never had more than a handful OF
sincere advocates in the United
States, but freer trade has for some
years been not only demand, but a
necessity. The growth of the country
in the matter both of production and
consumption has demonstrated that
if We are to keep up with the process.
sion and, particularly, take and hold
the place in the procession to which
we are entitled, we must establish
good commercial relations with the
outside world.
The duty to ourselves is palmer
now than ever. This war with Spain
has shown us our place among the ma
tions. Our movements are considered
of world wide Importance. The bare
suggestion of permanent American
control Of the Philippines forces a re-
cast of the whole Eastern problem,
with the United States reckonsd as
one of the foremost factors in the new
commercial equation. But, leaving
out the question of increased terri.
tory, the question Of increased trade
still remains. Consumers Of the lat.
est products are rapidly multiplying.
The United States has a great deal to
offer, aud at the same time is seeking
much. 1t will continue to hold the
home market for the home products,
but that will not interfere with open.
ing them to many things upon terms
which will induce other nations to
come here to sell and increase mpor-
tatious very considerably.
This convention with France is the
first under the Dingley law, but 9TH
ers are to follow, and probably before
another year has rolled around recip.
rocity will again be, as it was under
the Mckinley law, a source of profit
and advantage TO the country in
many directions. Washington Star

Reinforcements we're landed from
the Texas and Marblehead this morn
ing, They consisted of60 men and
two rspid.fro guns. The men are
suffering greatly from heat and thirst,
but they are all behaving splendidly
in and out Of fire.
After McCallagan aud Dunneyshy
were killed their heads we're shock

Late this morning the Spaniards
opened fire from two guns placed on
the west side Of the harbor. The shots
flew wild. The Texas, Yankee and
torpedo boat Porter, which were ly.
ing in the harbor, opened FIRE and in
short time silenced the Spanish
guns, The latter fred only once after
the ships opened fire on them. There
were no casualties on the American
side.

heard from the advance pickets un-
der Lieutenant Wendell c. Neville
and Lieutenant Melville j. Shaw.
AT 8 o'clock the firing was again
resumed by the Spaniards, who ap.
peared off the camp on the edge of a
small island about a mile to the
northeast. 1t was promptly returned
by thirteen rifles and 3.inch field
gun, and in short time all signs of
the enemy had disappeared.
To the great delight of marines in
camp, Lieutenants Neville and Shaw,
with 80 men of company d, returned
in good shape, but much exhausted
by is hours of picket duty. One
man, Sefgt Smith, of Company X,
had been shot through the abdoman

the day and night Lieutenants Ne.

by much superior force, but men
and officers behaved splendidly, and
although the firing of the Spsniards
was constant aud heavy, Lieutenant

All ought to try to find out what they

and purpose In Gods plan. That pur-

man is saved for some specific service
besides his own happiness. God made
no man simply for his own happiness,
and He saves no man simply that he
alone may be happy in Heaven. He
had nobler end in both cases than
the qualification of selfish spirit.

Another Candidate For Showers
Place.


Other counties besides our own are
taking the position that Huron county
and Shower have been fairly treated,
and as the party has given him two
full terms, four years, it is only fair
that he should step aside and give the
active, able, and energetic republicans
in the remaining counties show.
Captain Ed Weeks of Macomb coun-
ty has received written request, sign
ed by every county official and large
number of leading republicans of the
county, asking him to come into the
field as candidate. He has deter
mined to do so, and there will be hot
old time in the Seventh District from
now out.
1t is quite certain that Huron county
will send delegation for Shower. He
is the only candidate from that county
and although there are many republi
