This is the way the Argus

This is the way the Argus
sizes up Spain:
Spanish treachery is some
thing we were brought up with
at school. We heard of it
through teachers when we were
learning the A. B. C's. and none
of us have forgotten the mean
ing of it. says the New York
Press. But we also learned that
Spanish treachery was usually
accompanied by Spanish cowar-
dice, which set in like a tidal
wave after the Hopsburg dynasty
and reached it's climax when Joe
Bonapart took the throne. Spain
has been an emasculated nation
ever since the Frenchman's day.
She never has been treacherous
unless confident of escaping
punishment.

the jury in the case of the station
agent at Buxton. N. D., who was
arrested for delivering and re.
ceiving money as agent of the
Great Northern railroad for these

convicted which goes to show
that in Judge Pollock's court
even station agents acting for the

conviction. The Buxton case is
similar to the injuntion served

case will be appealed to the
supreme court and the decision
of this body will be looked for
with much interest.

Magazine Which Build
Houses.

The readers of The Ladies' Home
Journal are about as responsive a
clientele as any magazine possesses.
About six months ago the Philadelphia
magazine started to publish a series
of practical architectural plans show
ing how artistic houses could be built
at moderate cost. 1t employed a
special architect, and his work was
certainly artistic. Besides the plans
it agreed to furnish complete specific
ations of each house at q minimum
cost. Thousands of people liked the
plans given and the series has been a
great success for the magazine. This
spring the building of over five hun.
dred houses, varying in cost from
$500 to $1,000 each, will be started in
different parts of the.country by Jour.
nal readers, in addition to over one
hundred other houses which have al
ready been built.

The United States is confront
ed today by grave international
questions and complications aris-
ing from the destruction of the
Maine that requires broad and
comprehensive statesmenship
and good judgment. Of course
the loss of 25S noble sailors and
Americans as well as the fine
war vessel is enough to make
the heart of every American
beat faster and arouse his feel
ings for revenge, yet at the same
time it has not yet been proven
that the destruction of the Maine
is the result of Spanish treachery
and until such has been proven
by the naval court now investi-
eating the matter, Judgment
should be withheld. The fire
eater who is inclined to blame
President Mckinley for not de-
claring war at once against Spain
should remember that the United
States is not 1.-The only pebble on
the beach. So far we think the
president has handled the matter
in IL dignified and conservative
manner and it would have been
decidedly foolish for him and the
government to precipitate a con.
test without having some valid
and substantial reason for so do.

or any other country outside of

fair and impartial treatment. If,
after a fair investigation it is
found that the blowing up of the

the business of this country to
Immediately seek reparation and
owipeSpain off the map-and we
believe this sentiment will be up
held by majority of the people
of this country, Let us fight to
maintain our national honor and
independence and for the protec-

citizens, but let us first be sure
we are right, then go ahead.

President Mckinley gives out
the following firm but conserva-
tive statement: BASED upon
Information now in his posses
sion. the president believes that
the Maine was blown up as the
result cf an accident. If it is
found that the disaster was not
an accident, prompt and decisive
steps will be taken in the premi-
ses. The finding of the naval
court will develope the cause and
until that is submitted, nothing
will be done"

are urgently requested to be

GREAT CONCERN
AT WASHINGTON
The Desperate Character of Yesterdays
Fighting Realized Since the Re-
ceipt of Late News From the
Front

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The profound
est concern throughout military and
official circles marked the opening of
the second day upon which the battle
of Santiago is being fought. The des-
perate character of the fighting is now
fully known to the war department.
The information is in addition to the
report made by General Shafter last
midnight when he roughly estimated
the casualties at about 400. Later re-
ports direct from the field indicate that
this estimate is by far too low.
Owing to many conflicting reports re.
gsrding the losses of the American
troops in yesterdays engagement, it
has been thought best by the war de-
partment to make public the text of
General Skaters last dispatch, received
this morning at O'Clock. 1t is as fol-
lows:
"SIBoNEY, via Playa del Este, July
l. -Adjutant-General, Washington: 1
fear have nnderestimated today's cas-
ualties. A large and thoroughly equip
ped hospital shin should be sent here
at once, to care for the wounded. The
chief surgeon says he has use for forty
more medical officers. The ship must
bring a launch and boats for conveying
the wounded. SHAFTER."
Secretary Alger and his adjutant- gen.
eral held a conference as soon as the
secretary arrived. Then Surgeon G en-
eral Sternherg was sent for and joined
the conference. 1t is understood that
the surgeon-general will send forty or
fifty medical officers, in addition to
those already with General Shafter' g
men. All suitable appliances will be
provided.
An impressive seriousness prevails in
military centers. The news that our
gallant men had pressed their way foot
by foot up to the commanding plateau
of Caney was welcome, indeed, but
there was full realization that this had
been done in the face of a withering fire.
Instead of skirmish on the right flank,
as the reports of yesterday indicated, it
was clearly a general engagement, and
a terrific one, had been fought under
the bSoiling tropical cum and in the
tangle4 vegetation northeast of Santi-
ago.
Deepest suspense existed throughout
military and official circles as the day
progressed and no word came from

ANOTHER MA
RINE DISASTER
Stern-Wheel Steamer Bound for Alaska
Wrecked in Straits of Fuca.

steamer Marquis of Duferin, which left
here Thursday for st. Michaeles, in tow
of the steamer Progresso, has been
wrecked at the entrance of the Straits of
Fuca.
Immediately after the Progresso and
her tow reached the open sea the trou-
BILE commenced. The light steamer
tugged on the tow rope, swinging
around until all her timbers were
kstrained and her back was broken.
Then the towline was cut and her crew
boarded the Progresso, all being saved.
The vessel belonged to the British
American Corporation, and cost about
$50. 600.
