War Brevities.
Disscntions in Italy threaten the

Dissentions in Italy threaten the
downfall of that government.
Until the Philippine islands be-
come capable of self government
they will probably be subject to
the United States.
Itls likely that Fitzhugh Lee
will be made military governor of
Cuba until stable government
can be established.
There seems to be nothing for
Sampson to do but to take the
West Indies. The Spanish fleet
has apparently left these Islands to
their own fate.
Theodore Roosevelt is bound to
make Il war record. He will be at
the head Of a regiment made up of
Texan and Arizona COWBOYS and
something like 100 sports from all
over the country.
For the second or third time the
Spanish fleet returned to Cadiz
Tuesday TO take n fresh start. The
Spanish mob howls ''on to Cuba"
but the government knows better
than to match Spanish vessels
against those of the United States:
one experiment of that sort Is quite
enough, Spain is evidently wait
ing for the Intervention of Euro
pcan powers.
SPANS worst enemies are at
home plotting to overthrow the
present dynasty IN order to secure
power. The result is mob violence
in nearly all her cities. With such
dissentions Spain has no heart to
engage in battle with II powerful
nation 1900 miles from her shores.
AS consequence her fleets and
her armies are kept at home trust
ing that some nation will come to
her aid.
The insurgents at the Philippines
are uncomfortable and Admiral
Dewey is powcrlcss to restore Or
der with his present force of men.
One of Dcwcy's boats. the Con-
cord, has destro ycd another Span
lsh warship after two hours fight
ing. Dewey is maintaining a close
blockade at Manila but needs more
soldiers to maintain order.
1t will require about three week $
to land troops at Manila from the
Pacific coast.
The American torpedo boat,
Winslow, vcn,urcd too near the

was disabled by fire from the forts
and several small Spanish gun

several wounded. The Hudson
succeeded in throwing line to the
Winslow and towcd her out of the
deadly range of the enemy.
Thursday guns were reported
booming at San Juan, Porto Rico
and that Sampson was about to
take tins Spanish stronghold.
The whereabouts of the Cape
Verde fleet remains mystery.
Thursday, Boston and New York
were excited by frequent reports
that this fleet was nearing those
cities.
Quantities Of arms and ammuni-

SAW DICKINSON BEAUTIES.
Gov. Lesdy and Leading Cattle Con-
vention Attendants Take q Trip.

One Of the pleasantest features of
the Cattle convention WAS a sight
seeing trip given last Thursday to
Governor Leedy and number Of lead
ing visitors to the meeting. A spe-
cial Rock Island train took the party
to Woodbine at 7 a. m. where car
riages were in waiting. A drive was
taken through the splendid feed lots
of G. G. Gilet's big rancho, and the
handsome barns and buildings were
inspected. The right of $500 hand
some cattle on one farm nearly ready
for market called forth EXPLANATIONS
of admiration from all, while the
thoroughbred Herefords, the hun
dreds Of other cattle and hogs make
up an establishment not to be equaled
in central Kansas, il in the state.
From Woodbine ans mile drive was
taken to Rinehart, visiting the splen-
did farms Of the Hollinger boys, J. S.
Hollinger, J. H. Taylor, Clarence
Taylor and other of the magnificent
country residences that grace one of
the garden spots'of the west. 1t was
a revelation to the visitors who did
not realize what a rich county Dick
inson had become
The drive ended at Pearl where the
special train was waiting and brought
the party to Abilene. 1t arrived here
too late to catch the east bound Union
Pacific express so, through the in
fluence of Mr.. Gillett and Mr. Holl-
niger, the Rock Island express was
held at Harrington until the special
could reach there.
j. S. Hollinger, Thomas Kirby and
G. G. Gillett accompanied the party
from Abilene.
