n. The naval bureau at Manila sends
the following report, signed "Nonteio.
! AdmiraI:" in middle of the night
the American squadron forced the forts
and before daybreak appeared off Ca
vite. The night was completely dark.
At half-past seven the bow of the Peina
Maria Christina took fire and soon after
the poop also was burned. At eight
O'Clock. with my staff, went on board
the Isla of Cuba. The Reina Maria
Christina and the CatiIla were then en-
tirely enveloped in flames. The other
ships having been damaged, retired into
Baker bay. Some had to be sunk to pre-
vent their falling into the hands of the
enemy. The losses are numerous,
notably Capt. Cadarso, a priest and nine
other persons"
Excitement in Madrid
The town is greatly excited bv the
serious news from the Philippines and
there is an immense gathering in the
Ce9e de Sevilla. The civil guards on
horseback were called out to preserve
order and all precautions have been
taken. There is much muttering, but
up to the present nothing more serious
has occurred.
The official dispatch does not men
ticn the destruction of any American
vessel, although it says that the United
States squadron finally cast an anchor
in the bay behind the foreign merchant
men.
Result to Americans in Doubt
London, May 2.-While it is quite
clear that the Spanish squadron has
suffered a crushing defeat, the dis
patches leave unclear the intensely in
teresting question whether the Ameri-
can squadron has suffered material
damage. All news thus far comes
from Spanish sources, but it seems evil
dent that Commodore Dewey has not
captured Manila. Unless he is able to
make another attack and capture TIE
town he will be in an awkward position,
having no base upon which to retire and
to refit. Probably, therefore, the
United States squadron will be obliged
to make for San Francisco, as the en-
trance to Manila bay was heavily mined
with torpedoes.
Dewey's Pluck.
Admiral Dewey displayed great
pluck and daring in making for the
inner harbor. According TO private adj
vices received from Madrid, United
States cruisers Olympia, Raleigh and
two other vessels, the names Of which
are not given, entered the harbor. No
dispatches give details as to the vessels
actually engaged on either side. 1t ap
pears to be incorrect that the American
ships finally anchored behind the
merchantmen on the east side of the
bay. 1t should be the west side. Proba-
bilities point in the direction of the sec
ond engagement having occurred
through the Spaniards trying to pre-
vent the landing of the American
wounded.
Don't Set Well.
London, May 2.-Dispatches from
Madrid dated 2:20 a. m. say the city is
tranquil, although the mounted guards
are patrolling all the main streets. At
the theaters, cafes and in front of the
newspaper offices the people loudly Ia
mented the unpreparedness of Manila
to resist the American warships. whose
attack had long been expected. The
Madrid authorities are determined Wig
orously to suppress all street demon

State Dairymen's Association

State Dairymen's Association.
The new officers of the State Dairy
association held session at St. Paul
last week and decided that, instead of
holding one big summer meeting, a
number of smaller ones would be held
in different parts Of the state. The
committee will confer with the state
institute corps, and the meetings of
the association will be held in the
places not visited by the institute
corps in order that there may be no
duplication of work. In response to
a protest filled with him, the attorney
general decided that the election Of
the new board at New Ulm was legal
and instructed them to 60 ahead with
the business of the association. Prof.
Hacker brought the war in the asso-
citation to a close Wednesday evening
with the announcement that he would
turn over to the new secretary the
books and records Of the secretary's s
office at the earliest possible moment.

The South AS 1t Is.

There are a restless lot Of people in
Minnesota who are trying to sell their
productive farms and migrate to Mis-
souri, or Arkansas this year. To those
inclined this way, we say. Don't do it!
You will be sorry later on. The coun-
try south of here has been advertised
as the land of the big red apple. And
it has been advertised we'll, too. This
goes to show that advertising pays.
But not word has been said of the
fever and ague, malaria, fog, mud,
dampness. spring floods, etc. Any
one who wishes to see mud, pure and
unadulterated, ought to go to Mis-.
souri,. In January instead of having
four feet Of beautiful snow, they have
four feet Of sticky yellow mud. Ia
spring the ague sets in the mean
awhile, and when that gets through
with you it has shaken all of the
money out Of your clothes that you
received for your big red apples the
fall before. Not in the whole states
of Missouri or Arkansas will you find
a country where the farmers are as
prosperous or so healthy as right here
in Big Stone county. Before you sell
your farms in Minnesota, 60 and look
these paradises over. Stay awhile
with the people. After that, Mime
sofa farm will be good enough fol
you.-Graceville Enterprise.

The civil service law has now been
in operation fifteen years and it is
generally known by public men how
it's provisions are wisely applicable to
the public service. This fact is shown
by the general objections to the un-
wise extensions by Mr.. Cleveland.
The present agitation aims to limit
the law to cover just such abuses of
the law and prevent future presidents
from unwisely extending the service.
All that is asked is that reasonable
notifications be given the enforce
ment Of the law, so that it shall not be
left to the caprice Of future occupants
OF the White House.
