The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1898-07-21

The government lost a big pre-
MUM by making the new loan a
popular one, but no one will re-
gret that. The effect of giving so
many persons a direct interest in
the government will be we'll worth
the premium. The fact that 81,
200, 100000 was subscribed, or six
times the amount called for, is a
splendid illustration Of the patriot
ism of the people, of their faith in
the government, and of the wide
diffusion of wealth. When so large
3 sum can be raised on call it is of
no use for pessimists to insist that
prosperity does not exist in this
country.

Since his victory in Manila Bay
Admiral Dewey has repeatedly
demonstrated that he is not only a
man of action but is complete mas
ter of the situation so far as our
newly acquired interests in the
Pacific are concerned. -
AS matter of fact, no one has
seriously menaced our rights in
the Philippines. No power has
challenged our title to the fruits
of naval conquest and no power
will interfere with the execution
Of any plans which our govern
ment may finally decide upon for
the disposition Of the Philippines.
So far as local affairs on the
islands are concerned all reliable
information, from both English
and American sources is to the eff
feet that the city Of Manila is alb
solutely at Dewey's mercy. He
can take tat any time that the
military and naval authorities de-
eide to invest it.
One Of the incidents which
should allay all prehension as to
our mastery Of the situation was
the taking Of Sunbig bay and lsla
.Grands with / 800 Spanish pris.

oners, by the Concord and Raleigh
Aguinaldo, with 200 insurgents on
the PHILIPPINES, made an effort to
capture the Spanish garrison on
Isla Granda at the entrance of the
bay. They reported to Admiral
Dewey that the German cruiser
Irene would not allow the capture
of the garrison, as the Germans
did not recognize tie rebel flag.
When the Raleigh and Concord
appeared. however, the Irene
promptly steamed out Of the bay
without protest, and the Spanish
garrison surrendered, giving up
the Spanish soldiers and 10000
rounds of ammunition.
It requires wide stretch Of the
imagination to view this incident
as demonstration of hostility on
the part of the German fleet now
in Philippine waters. No, one can
reasonably expect the German
squadron to recognize the flag Of
the insurgent rebels. Upon every
occasion, however, the Germans
have respected our flag and our
authority and have rigidly OBJ
served theneutrality law.-Ex.

When we look at the condition
of war between the United States
and Spain, it seems strange that
as shortly ago as 1898 the two ma
tions were on such friendly terms.
Who would have thought when,
during the Worlds Fair, this coun-
try paid such complimentary at
tention to Spain, that in five years
we would be at war with the same
alton.

Dewey is not claiming the undi-
vided attention of the people at
present but he is nevertheless the
favorite. He is mot a man of
many words but when he does
speak it is to the point and decise-
lively. It is noticed that Dewey
does not say Il am going to- but
it is always II have" While real
izing that the position at Manila
is one of grave Importance for
many reasons, the administration
still has confidence that they have
a capable commander at that point
and are not worrying.

TWO WARRIORS.
Feat That Brought Promotion to Gen.
Lawton-Admiral Camara.

! Law lOu- s1IlulIeI NGHdId.
The gentleman who compiled Gen.
Lowton's military record for the in
formation of a country failed to men
ton the reason why the general was
promoted ten years ago from captain
Of the Fourth cavalry to be major and
assistant inspector general, and yet
this is the most interesting feature of
the generals career since the civil war
closed, and is the principal reason why
be was promoted from lieutenant
colonel in the Regular establishment
to be brigadier general Of volunteers.
Capt. Lawton led his company in pur-
suit Of Geronimo when that willy say
age took to the Sierra Madre noun
tains and kept the trail when he and
his men had to climb on their hands
and knees with their tongues swollen
from thirst, for under intense heat
they were sometimes 24 hours be-
tween water supplies. The skill, cour-
age and endurance Of physical suffer-
ing with which that pursuit was made
was one Of the notable things in the
long list Of achievements Of our army
in its warfare with the Indians. Capt.
Lawton could not be promoted to be
major in The cavalry till his turn was
reached, but when there was a va
cancy in the inspector generals de-
partment with the rank of major,
Capt, Lawton was promoted to it in
appreciation Of his services. He
reached the grade Of lieutenant
colonel in the ordinary routine, and
he was one of the few lieutenant
colonies who was made a brigadier
general Of volunteers at the outset Of |
the war. He is not likely to be de-
TERED from anything by heat and
hardship.
Admiral Camara is English on his |
mothers side, for his father married |
Miss Livermore in Liverpool. The
London Chronicle says that Camara,
like Ceryera, was graduated from the
naval academy at San Fernando.
which he entered in the very year that
the latter was leaying-185l He saw
service in the Morocco expedition. and
did not gain his captaincy until 1871.
In private life Admiral Camara is
somewhat Of moody recluse. He is
an ardent monarchist, and was one
Of those who advocated the giving Of
The crown Of Spain to Alfonso Mi

One Of the stranRest and most af-
tecting sights in an Arab town is that
of the funerals, which may be met at
any street corner. The body is mere
~ wrapped in mat Of esparto grass
and carried either on a bier or on
mems shoulders The mourners lounge
along, some in front and some behind,
grooming verses of the Koran in mel
ancholy tones, which haunt one for
days afterward. This wailing, how
ever, is nothing to that which goes on
in the house of the deceased. When
was staying in the country near Tunis
heard it kept up during whole night
in a neighboring village, and can con-
ceive nothing more desperately de-
pressing than these strains of lament
alton waited through the darkness by
the breeze. Ny dog stood it even less
well than I did, and he felt constrained
to join in the doleful chorus until l
was half tempted to put bullet
through his head. Perhaps the stran-
gest Of all the funerals l saw was at
Bizerta II was that of baby, which
was being carried to its grave in On
esparto basket.-London Sketch.

When the Lights
Went Out.
Observation-Disclosures
By DOLF WYLLARDE

THE original cause of Digby SulI-
vans quarrel with his wife was
L0ttie lie Marchant, but the effect OF
it was a blunder 1t was Digby's
friend, Desserte, who first took him
behind the scenes at the Friyolity, and
he was the real mover i'm the affair
which ended in Lottie's husband get
ting a degree uisi But Lottie HAD
large capacities. She was quite ready
to absorb Digby Sullivan as well as
Dcsserte, and for a time she really did
succeed in making him somewhat Of
fool sullivan, however, only dabbLed
-Dcsscrte plunged. Sulliyau's wife
did not know this until afterwards. At
the time. when the florist and the jew
eller sent in bills, which she opened in
all innocence, and when there were
names mentioned in court, Sybil natu-
rally Jumped to conclusions, and went
and stayed with her sister-in-aw for
an indefinite visit Fortunately the
latter was an astute woman.
Digby only tried to explain matters
once, and then he got furious, went
into chambers, and looked the scandal
in the face. Three months after he be-
came grass widower he saw that on
the whole Lottie had done him q good
turn.
Six months later his cook left, and he
took to dining at the club. After that
all the buttons came off his shirts ali
once, or so it seemed to him. Then he
swore. He could not recollect that he
had ever seen Sybil sewing at his shirts
but she had certainly had mysterious
influence over the buttons.
Nine months later he CHANGED to 60
to the Frivolity. Lottie was not play
ing there then, but a particularly at
tractiye burlesque had occurred and
he foregathered with Mordaunt, Of the
guards, and went to see 1t. MoTdaunt
had already seen the piece five times,
but he bounded in his stall with excite
ment, and chuckled as at a first per
fOrmancr. Sullivan was family bored,
1t occurred to him that Mordaunt was
an ass, and that he had heard twin
productions to the burlesque 100 times
1t was a full house, but he designated !
it as dowdy, and he was just thinking
of going out and leaving Mordaunt TO |

coded two ladies into their row Of |
stalls, and let down the empty seats |
beside him. He had q distinct impress |

THE RUSSIAN SERF.
What Forty Years of Freedom Have Done
for Him.

Although nearly 40 years have
passed since the ukase of emancipa-
ton was promulgated, it is still too
early to give definite Judgment upon
its results The expectations of its
trainers have not been attained, in
part because of the immensely Of the
task and diversity of conditions to be
met, and in part because the immedi-
ate application Of the ukase was made
not by those who had thought out the
scheme, but by others, who were
either Indifferent or even hostile to
the measure. The serf has not gen
orally become an independent land
holder, nor has he gained that econo-
mic self-reliance that was 50 ardently
desired. He is even less able than be-
fore to encounter a bad season, short
crops, or cattle plague, for he has no
master who may make good his losses
and help him to tide over his Difficult
ties. On the other hand, the peasant
has not secured what he believed to be
his rights, and is not a little discon-
tented that his dream of full and free
possession Of the land has not been
