The entire western half of the sky
was covered with angry looking black
clouds from which forked flashes or

The Coming Editors,

In few days the National
Editorial association will take
the place of the American Banker s
association as guest of this city.
Judging by what they have said
the bankers arc pleased with their
reception and entertainment.
Denver, we can assure them, is
pleased with them. II is hoped that
equally agreeable relations will be
established with the editors.
Ample arrangements have been
made for the entertainment of the
editors while they are in the city,
and in other parts of the state
similar steps have been taken.
Cripple Greek especially will exert
itself to give them a delightful
visit in that great gold district.
They will be given a chance to see
different parts of the state,a we
have no doubt that they will go
away convinced that Colorado is
in natural wenlth allthat it's friends
have claimed.
1t is expected that editors and
publishers of newspapers will be
present from nearly every part of
the United States. They will rep
resent many different sections and
many differnt classes of the Ameri-
can people.I is all the more desir-
able, therefore, that they should be
well entertained and that they
should return to their homes deter

the Spanish fleet making its way out Of
Santiago harbor. Gaskin's home IL In
Warren street, Newark. In letter to
his sister. Mrs. M. H. Smith, who lives
at 102 Littleton avenue, young Gaskin
says that at a. m. he went on deck as
usual for signal watch. He had noticed
suspicious indications the previous day
and resolved to keep close watch. An
hour afterward he reported that smoke
he had observed In the harbor the day
previous had moved nearer the entrance,
and at 9:15 he reported that the smoke
was moving more so.
"Then, says Gaskin, "of my own
accord I bent on the signal 800,
which means the enemy's ships escap-
ing, and laid it on the bridge ready to
hoist. At $3.50, just as the navigator
was taking the deck, reported large,
black ship, with two stacks and two
military masts in the entrance. The
navigator, without looking, said, Bend
on the emergency signal. With that
ran it up to the yardarm. He said
Sound the alarm, bugleri Sound gen.
eral quartersi' was waiting to sound
the alarm, and in two minutes the ship
was reported ready for action.
''At :85 the Vizcaya opened fire and
was answered from our ship with Is
