The situation was explained to them,
and, very gently, they were made pris-
oners. Never before were men so
astonished. Then Captain Glass sent
a message to Governor Marina, order
ing him to come aboard the Charleston.
The governor, equally ignorant that
war was going on, sent back a cour-
teous message.
Governor Marina presents his COM
pliments and regrets he cannot accept
the polite invitation to visit the
Charleston. But the laws of Spain for
bid him to set foot off the islands for
an instant He will be very glad to
see Captain Glass at the governors
residence at 10 a. m. tomorrow"
Captain Glass did not accept the in
vitation in person. Early next morn
ing he sent ashore Lieutenant A. M.
Braunersreuther and small force of
marines. The lieutenant announced
Captain GLASS; ultimatum to the
astonished Marina-that he must sur
render in half an hour or the town
would be bombarded As soon as the
governor recovered he promptly sur
rendered.
In the afternoon larger force was
landed, the few Spanish soldiers were
disarmed and made prisoners, the
United States marines and bluejackets
formed around the staff from which
SPANS fas had been hauled down
and formally the United States tool
possession of the islands.
The simple ceremony was made more
impressive by the Joy Of the natives
who thus unexpectedly found them
| selves free.

Taken Prisoner Before He Knew That Wal
Was Declared.
The first expedition to reinforce Ad-
miral Dewey-the transports City OF
Pekin, City Of Sydney and Australia,
carrying troops, conveyed by the cruis-
er Charleston-arrived at Manila on
Thursday, June 80.
The voyage was most favorable.
General Andersons soldiers suffered
much from seasickness. The sail
ors Of Dewey's squadron enthusiastic
cally welcomed them, and the soldiers
returned cheer for cheer.
On the way the expedition stopped
long enough to capture Guajan, the
largest of the Ladrone Islands, and to
take possession, III the name of the
United States, OF the group OF La
drones. The Stars and Stripes now
floats over San Luis Dapra, the town
on the coast Of Guajan, where small
part Of the United States force landed.
The Spanish officers on the islands
so remotely situated In the Pacific did
not know that war was on between
their mother country and the United
States. Complications that greatly
amused the Americans resulted But
Captain Henry Glass, of the Charles
ton, Strengthened things out by taking
Lieutenant Colonel Marena governor
of the Ladrones, two military officers,
fifty-four soldiers and several civil Of
ficers and natives to Manila.
When the flag was raised at San
Luis, the native soldiers, cheering lust
lily, tore off the Spanish uniforms they
wore and stripped them of buttons,
which they gave to the men who had
liberated them.
The ships left Honolulu under sealed
orders, which Captain Glass opened
one day out They directed him to
capture the Ladrones, so the ships
course was shaped Cor Guajan, and they
arrived off San Luis Dupra early on
June 81.
The Charleston took position in easy
range of Fort Santa Cruz, which is sup
posed to guard the entrance to San
Luis. and on which the Spanish flag
was flying. The Charleston fired a
dozen blank shots at the rather dilapi-
dated fortress. The Spanish flag still
flew; there was absolutely no response
from the fort So Captain Glass con-
cluded to await developments.
In the afternoon two Spanish Off
GERS in full uniform, were towed out tc
the Charleston. And very polite they
were.
Governor Marina presents his com
pliments," they said to Captain Glass
bowling and scraping. "He thanks you
for your salute. He is very sorry he
could not return it, but, unfortunately
We have no powder"

looking up the legal voters and get

The action Of some of the towns in
not regularly nominating representa-
tives and justices may work well in
small towns, but lot of names on
the ticket under the Austrakanplaw
confuses, especially where assistance
has to be rendered the voter, and as
no person who is running for office
can enter the booths to assist or act
as election clerks if one half the vo-
tiers are running for office it makes it
bad.
Too much pains cannot be taken to
see that our board of civil authority
are composed of men who can and
will act promptly and for the best in

these offices are the foundation of
our government, being composed of

go over all the oppressed in their ma

The replies to Inquiries sent out
by the department OF agriculture
relative to the injuries which blackleg
is inficting upon the cattle industry
of the country conveys information
that is surprising to every one. It
appears that blackleg causes greater
losses in some of the northern and
western States than all other diseases
combined. These losses are placed
at 10 to 20 per cent of the young
stock. And yet it seems from the
evidence of all who have had suffi :
Gent experience to give weight to
their statements that the Pasteur
Vaccine has proven SO thorough q
preventive as to indicate a certainty
that the disease can be stamped out.
