INSTRUCTIONS

As to Holding Caucuses and Primaries Re-
Gently Issued.
In view of the fact that the best
lawyers in Wisconsin disagree upon
the question whether the new caucus
law applies to towns and villages, the
Republican Committee Of Wood coun-
ty think it best to be on the safe side
and construe that law as applying to
all voting precincts in the county.
By Chapter 312 of the Laws of 1897
the manner of holding caucuses is so
radically changed that it is thought
best to send to each caucus inspector
the substance of such provisions OF
that law as define the duty of in
spectors and caucus officers.

1t IS not generally known that American
troops were at one time in Havana in con-
junction with English soldiers, and they
suffered principally from that terrible
scourge, yellow fever 1t is the foe to be
dreaded more than all the bullets or shells
of the Spaniards about Cuba
James G. Blaine once remarked that
the United States could we'll afford to
purchase Cuba at "a good round price
in order to get rid of the annual danger
Of yellow fever A commission from the
United States which visited the island
several years ago and investigated the
character of this continuous menace TO
the country reported: Cuba has become
the greatest nursery and camping ground
of one of mans most ruthless destroyers.
Itself most seriously afflicted, it annually
disseminates to other lands, as from a
central hell, disease and death
But Havana has never been difficult to
capture by an armed force. Santiago de
Cuba, on the southern coast, was the
first capital, the seat of government be-
ing transferred to. Havana in 1850. The
next year pirates, under the notorious
Jacob Sores. sacked the church and the
houses of the wealthy and forced the
commandment of the fort to surrender
After committing numerous outrages ana
numbering many of the influential cit
liens Sores departed. The place was af-
forwards repeatedly seized by buccaneers.
1t was unsuccessfully attacked, however,
by Sir Francis Drake in 1885.
In 1852 an English squadron commanded
by Admiral Pocock, the entire force un-
der charge of Lord Albemarle, landed
soldiers and sailors at Cojimar, about
four miles from Havana, bombarded the
city and compelled it to capitulate on
August IA after defense of two months
They retained possession of the city until
July Of the following year. when it was
restored to Spain by the provisions of the
treaty of Paris.
Our army would probably follow the
plan of Lord AlbenTarle, though, as CoJl-
mer is within reach of the guns of Moro
Castle. an invading army would probably
be landed a little farther east, possibly
on the beach of Bacuranao, and from
there march directly inland to destroy the
Havana railway and thus sever all COM
munication with MatanZas and combat if
necessary with the 10000 Spanish soldiers.
Troops can also be landed near the vii
lage of Cabanas or Marel, a few miles
west of Havana, to tear to pieces the
Western railroad. But an army of occu-
patton should not be allowed to remain
there any great length of time. The dead
ly climate would soon decimate the hardy
soldiers of more northern region. The
insurgent forces would serve as guides
and vanguards and might at an early day
be left to preserve the military govern
ment of the island.
