The formal proceedings of the surren

Rico will number $4,000 men. After
Porto Rico has been taken Genera
Miles asks permission to take the army
and invade Spain. He thinks this will
be quicker way Of conquering peace
than to undertake operations against
Havana at this time.
There is said to be signs of trouble
brewing with the Cubans who are dis
satisfied with the action Of our govern
ment in not turning over immedi ate.
ly to them all Cuban territory as fast az
it is captured from the Spanish. For
this reason the government has issued
the order that no more arms be issued
to either Gomez or Garcia's army, but
that strict military rule be enforced
until the obligations of the war declar.

The Buffalo Gap Republican in it's
issue of last week, in commenting upon
the pardoning of Larry McAdams OF
Pringle, who was serving two years
sentence in the penitentiary for grand
larceny, makes the following pertinent
remarks: "We do not know on what
grounds the pardon was granted, but it
would seem from the number of Grim
inals that are escaping the punish ment
meted out to them, either innocent men
are unjustly convicted by juries or ras-
calls are unwisely turned loose. 1t has
become almost impossible to convict a
cattle thief, and if after hundreds of
dollars of the tax payers money has
been spent and he is convicted he will
get pardoned out in a very short time
Such work is an imposition on the
people and makes farce out of law.
There are perhaps occasionally parties
wrongfully convicted, and this case
above mentioned may be one of them
but they are 80 few they are hardly
worth mentioning"
Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1898-07-23

The Cubans are dissatisfied with the
presidents plan Of ruling Santiago
They think as soon as any portion OF
the island is conquered it should be
tnrned over to them to govern and re.
ceive the custom house receipts and
taxes, that they may have funds in
their treasury. The president has made
it clear to them that this government
proposes to handle all the affairs Of the
conquered country so long as the Amer.
can army remains on the island and
that all revenue derived from every
source shall be applied towards defray-
ing the expenses of the war. In reply
to the Cuban's latest demands they were
given to understand that the president
intended to carry out his plan whether
they liked it or not.

The Black Hills exhibit at the Omab,

The Black Hills exhibit at the Omaha
exposition, according to the representa-.
ton of parties recently arrived from
there. has gained exceedingly of late
1t seems great many of our exhibitors
were negligent in forwarding their ores
to Mr.. Pitcher, the commissioner in
charge, and the best part Of our exhibit
has but recently been put in place II
now represents not only vast variety
of mineral, gathered from the different
mines Of the Hills, but an extensive and
interesting collection of fossils from the
bad lands, and many curios peculiar to
this section. We are sorry to hear that
there has been quite general complaint
on the part of the managers of the ex-
position, that mine owners have been
slow in sending forward their exhibits.
This applies not alone to the Black
Hills, but to most all of the different
mining camps of the west.
