A Thorny Bed.

A Governor of State, these war
times, sleeps on thorny bed. To en-
list troops, collect them, equip them,
officer them and put them under march
ing orders without proper instructions
from the great head OF the war de-
partment, require military tact, good
judgment, strong will power and de-
termination to do the best that can be
done under existing circumstances.
Governor Steunenberg has been on q
thorny bed for two weeks. His instruc-
tons from the war department have
been limited and unsatisfactory, in part,
as limited. But the long nights are
almost gone, 'sthe darkest hour just be-
fore day" ID passing and he will soon
be over the trouble and into the day
light again. The requisite number OF
troops Is being collected at Boise, and
as soon as this is done and the officers
are appointed, all the labor, worry and
trouble will be over and the Governor
can then return to his downy couch
and to pleasant dreams of the boys
gallantry and honor on the battlefelds.

REFUGEES from Havana bring news
of plot as horrible 10 its nature as
anything that has yet emanated from a
Spanish source or has ever been put
into execution on the blood-stained Is
land Of Cuba. IL is asserted that every
Spanish officer In Havana has bound
himself by a solemn oath to muir
der every Cuban and every Cuban SYM
pathizer in the city the moment 1t be-
comes certain that Americans are about
to capture the place. The history OF
the conduct Of the war on the island
lends color TO the reported plot. But
1t must not be forgotten that when the
Americans are ready to take Havana,
there will be big insurgent force at
hand TO take part, and any murder by
the defeated Spaniards will call for
sudden and terrible reprisals. The
Spaniards will not be dealing with old
men, women and children this time

PORTO RICO TO BE TAKEN
American Flag on Cuban Soil--So News
From Dewey.

President Mckinley has decided to
follow up Dewey's great victory at Ma
Mia by ordering Admiral Sampson TO
move on Porto Rico. The seizure of
that island promises an easy victory.
The praises of Sundays services may
be for another victory.
Communication between United States
forces and the insurgents has been es-
tablished and the stars and stripes are
planted on Cuban soil. The Spaniards
are collecting their troops from the
coast country into fortified towns.
Owing to the cutting of the cable no
definite news can be had from Dewey
and of the fruits Of his victory. The
government Is hurrying ammunition
and supplies to him.
Great excitement prevails in Spain,
and crisis has been reached where
she must fight foreign enemies or have
civil war OF her own. Troops are
held in hand to suppress any outbreak
OF popular revolution. The coming
week may be eventful of great moves
and maybe Of several important naval
engagements.
