Boss Plat is laying The wires TO

but Teddy has never been anybod,'s
dummy up to date.
Had our army been behind the ell
trenchments at Santiago, the place
could not have been taken by 100000
of.the worlds best soldiers.
"Immune" doesn't mean person

who has been through an epidemic OF
The fever without taking it.
General Miles deserves credit for
not trying TO fitch any of the glory
properly belonging to Gen. Shaftet; he
also made many false prophets.
1t is estimated that it will cost Us
half million dollars to send Toral's
surrendered army to Spain, but nobody
will begrudge money spent for that
purpose.
The u. S. has never had naval
hero for President, but if George Dewey
keeps up his present lick, there may be
one before the country gets another
century older.
If it is fair to judge by his tricky at
tempts to delay the termination OF the
surrender Of himself and his $4,000
men, Gen. Toral must have found en-
joyment in arranging the surrender
We gather from the New York press
that while Chauncey Depew has 10
hankering after military glory, he holds
himself in readiness to 60 to the front
as peace commissioner whenever he
may be asked.
Although it is case of "srieving
over spilled milk" many persons who
know are saying that the yellow fever
would not have obtained foothold in
our army had not som ebody in author
ity Numbered.
. TIE Democrats of New York should
not forget 10 unanimously adopt
resolution of thanks to Gov. Black. If
the Dem ocrats fail to carry the State,
it will not be because Black has not
done everything he could to hep
them.
Too much time has been lost ex-
changing co ngratulations on what has
been done. Everybody knows what
the American soldier and sailor can do
when they get chance. Hurry up,
gentlemen, and give them some more
chances to fight this draggy war to a
close.
1t is a waste of time to ask people
not to worry when about one out Of
every twenty in our army at Santiago
is down with the yellow fever. The
only comfort the officials give is to say
that the fever is Of a mild type and
that so far there have been few deaths.

oorat. who put a stumbling block in Can
didate McHinney's way few weeks ago,
by publishing the contents of his letter
Of 1895, denouncing Bryan and the Chi
oago platform, is at it again. Having
been repeatedly asked by the Biddeford
Record, Ia Democratic organ, how he in
tends to vote this fall, Mr.. jeffrey has
come out with an open letter declaring
HIS intention to vote for 10 Congressman
Reed and Governor Powers.
He accuses of Candidate Mckinney OF
being out OF touch with the principles OF
Democracy, calls him an offlce-hungry,
nolitical contortionist. and says that on
the currency question he represents the
game thing that Congressman Reed repre-
sants and Jeffrey has therefore made up
bis mind to vote for MIR. Reed, as Mr..
Raad is the ablest of the two congress
sional candidates.
Mr. Jeffrey accuses Honest Sam
Lord of being two, I'D to the York mill
strikers last spring; charges him with

MORE SOLDIERS HERE.

The new fortidcatioRs already completed

but make Portland military point Of
stragetio importance and one at which
quito a considerable military force mus
be permanently looatedsin order to man
the guns which have been, and are to be
mounted in the remote future.
A matter which has received the at
tention of the war department. is the pro-
vision of suitable quarters for officers and
barracks for enlisted men. At Fort
Preble at the present time there are not
sufficient accommodations for even one
battery of artillery, on it's present war
basis of 200 men, and 1T is seen that the
batteries at Portland Head are obliged to
camp out q manner of living hardly
practicable in winter months in this far
northern latitude.
How the government will solve the
problem has not yet been definitely
announced, but it is known that recon-.
mendation has been made by the com.
manding officer at Portland Head that
land be purchased by the government in
the immediate vioinity of the Head as
sites for buildings for the use of the COM
mand stationed at that point. The
owners have been interviewed as to the
price at which the land might be pur.
chased and it is reported that the figures
are too high for the authorities to con.
slider favorably.
In any event, nothing. could be done in
the matter Of new buildings until next
season and in the meantime some of the
batteries will have to be moved to winta,
quarters. 1t is rumored on one side that
the I'd ARTILLERY will move, others tb,nh
the batteries of the 18th artillery will
leave, but as to this no definite infor,na
ton is just now obtainable.
