important seaports, would have to
choose between theincreasing devil
OF prefectly equipped rebel army in
front and the deep sea Of starvation
behind. The Spauiards would, of
course, try with their navy to break
our blockade. This attempt would
be hopeless with our naval base of
supply at Key West, only eighty
miles, and that Of the Dry Tortugas
only sixty miles from Havana.
Porto Rico, of course, would be in
cluded in our blockade.
Our own seaboa-d is safe against
any force that Spain could bring
against it. Spain would doubtless
resort to privateers, but our mer-
camille marine is mostly coastwise.
and we should make che war so
short and sharp that our commerce
could not suffer much injury.
Besides our enormous superiority
in men and money, we would have
the enormous advantage Of being
able to sit still and wait for on at
tack on US by an assailant who
will be obliged to cross the Atlantic.
There is not the slightest probab-
ility that Spain could break our
blockade of its present Cuban base,
could seriously threaten our Allan
tic seaboard cities, or injure
our coastwise commerce to any
considerable extent. With the
blockade of Cuba maintained; with
the insurgent army fully armed
and supplies with amun,tions of
war, Spain would surely lose Cuba
within sixty days after our blockade
was complete and our co,nmunica-
tons with the insurgent army
fully acknowledgements.

contne the 6o,oo Spanish troops
, now in Cuba to the island; would
cut off all hope of reinforcements
from Spain. Spain wonld thus
lose its Cuban base, with no
power or opportunity to secure an
American base which could be
successfully held and utilized.
The Spanish ships would thus be
deprived Of the means of coaling.
unless by tenders accompanying
them, which are always liable to
destruction or dispersion, We
would at once seize some minor
seaport on the Cuban coast, COM
municate with the lnsurgent forces,
which are not less than 10000
strong. supply them cannon, small
arms, ammunition and military sup
plies of all sorts, and. without the
landing of a single American sold
Ter in Cuba, the Spanish army, which
depends for its support entirely
upon provisions imported from
abroad, would soon be starved into
surrender.
The Spanish army in Cuba TO-
day gets rice, beans and flour from
Spain; meat from Mexico and Flor
ida. The city of Hayana. with its
200, 900 inhabitance, gets its milk
in condensed form from the United
States; its eggs and vegetables
from Florida. If food imports
were stopped, the food supply of
Havana would he exhausted in
week. In short, we should only
need to blockade the Spaniards by
sea, give the insurgents all the
rifles, cartridges ard cannon they
need, and the Spanish army, hot

They are after Mr.. Sweet.

The recent editorial in the Mos.
cow Double Standard, Mr.. Sweet S
political organ, in which an attack
was made upon Dubois has thrown
bombshell in the silver republican
camp, creating a commotion Of no
small dimensions. We quote
below from two prominent organs
ofthe free silver faction to show
the tenor of the times regarding
the action of Mr.. Sweet.
The Caldwell Record says:
The last issue of the Double
Standard devotes four columes 10
Dubois and democracy. The arti-
Gle alleges that the ex-senator has
promised to deliver the silver re-
publicans to the democratic party
Now, while this charge may be true.
can he do it? We imagine that the
state convention would possibly
have something to say about the
matter. Then why was it neces.
sary for the Standard to raise such
ahowl? 1t has also been charged
that Mr.. Sweet was negotiating
With the Hanna republicans for
the 81 yer wing to return to their
first love. Does any one think,
for minute, that this could be
done? 1t is a fact that Mr.. Dubois
has given out, in interviews, what
the silver republicans will do. His
utterances have been read with
smiles and, as they become more
frequent, they create feeling of
disapproval. While it is known
that Fred 7. Dubois and Willis
Sweet have been accorded the posi-
tons of leaders in the silver re-
publican party, yet if both should
be called from labor to refresh
ment their places would be filled
without going outside of the party,
and ii they insist in making fools
OF themselves it is just possible
that the next convention will con-
Guide that they can do better ser
vice III ranks than as leaders"
Under the caption, "Mr. Sweets
Bleak the Pocatello Tribune con-
enoutes the following 10 the con-
troversy:
Mr.. Sweet has broke loose"
ano Is out Ill tour column editorial
In the Moscow Double Standard in
which he accuses Mr.. Dubois of a
tendency to steer the Silver Re-
publican party into the Democratic
iola and in his criticism of what he
oellves to be Mr.. Dubois disire to
succeed Senator Shoup, he I'm

evident that 1t is his purpose to

A Leading Topeka Citizen Tlurdered.

Last Friday morning j. s. Collins, a
Topeka real estate man and prominent
citizen, was shot in his own home and
bed. No definite clue tending TO show
who did the work, has yet been discOv-
cred. ReyOlVers, which 1t was the GUS
tom to keep under his pillow, had dis
appeared. The killing was evidently
done with his own gun which was In the
closet. No motive for the commission OF
such a crime Ia known.
The Collins murder case has taken new
sensational developments. l.. f. Collins,
Of North Topeka, claims to be a son OF
the murdered man, and says that his
mother is still living In Pennsylvania.
At the funeral of Mr.. Collins Monday
afternoon Chief of Police Steele made a
sensational attempt to arrest John Col
Inns, the son, for the murder Of his father,
while the cortege was at the grave He
failed in this attempt because he did not
have the necessary authority He had
given the news Of the attempted arrest
to an evening paper, and while the
funeral procession was passing through
the business streets the mOurners heard

rest Of John Collins for his fathers mur-

A commandery of Knights Templar at
Bellows Falls now seems assured. The
matter has. been under consideration for
some time but not until recently were
active steps taken. The consent of the
Communicates at Windsor and Bra tleboro
has been given, and a formal application
made for charter. The application bears
the names of 40 knights and it is thought
the charter list will contain at least 80
names. The application will be acted
upon at the June meeting of the grand
commaudery in Burlington. G. H. Will
liams is named as commander; G. W.
Black, generalissimo; George H. Gorham
captain general. The name will be Holy

In addition to the local knights there
will be number of members from Spring
field, Chester, and other nearby towns.
