The following from the Amory
Argus is a pretty good picture of
the I. ]. s. c., muddle as seen by
disinterested parties:
"We cannot fall IN with a major
ity of our contemporaries and see
such an awful calamity to the state
in the closing of the Industrial In.
stitute and College at Columbus.
1t has been much prated as the poor
girls college, but it has always
been our information that it costs
about as much to take a course at
this school as it does at a private
institution, where the advantages
are the same. From list of per-
sonal acquaintance who have been
students of the I. I. & g. we cam
not recall a single one but who was
amply able and doubtless would
have taken college course at some
private institution. 1t may be a
school for the poorer class, but we
have never been able to see it that
way, and are not at all disturbed
over it being closed for tie next
two years. A gross mismanage-
ment of it's affairs 10 responsible
for the condition it is in today, and
the really poor people, who bear
the burden of it's maintenance, pre-.
fer to see 1t remain closed.'

THE SITUATION.

There is no palpable change in
the situation; Shafter is waiting for
reinforcement before he advances
to storm the City of Santiago, and
Sampson gives nosign that he intends
to batter the forts into smlthereens,
raise the mines and enter the harbor.
The capture of the city, it appears,
would be an easy job, if only Samp-
con would consent to do his share
of the work; but obviously he pre-
fers to watch the Notifications
from a safe distance. In the mean.
time, Toral, acting commander in
Santiago, has been reinforced by
10000 or 10000 troops from Man
zanillo and HoIguin, so that the
difficulty of capturing the city has
been pro tsnto increased.
Now that Admiral Oervsra and
his naval officers have been cap-
tured by our feet, the exchange of
Lieut.. Hobson and his comrades is
expedited. The Spaniards profess
their readiness to make the ex-
change at once; but if they expect
10 get the Admiral and his officers
for Hobson and his seven Cons
rades, they are likely to be dissp-
pointed. Cervera and the naval
officers are going to be conducted
to Fort Warren, Boston, for spell
of confinement there. Several ofs
ficers of vessels taken soon after
the declaration of war and srill i'm
prisoned will be given in exchange
for Hobson. And we can afford to
be generous, for not only Is Hobs
son sick of fever, but we all want
to see him take part in the war
again before it is over.
And talking OF the war being
over, it is to be observed that, since
the capture of Oervera and the
destruction of his feet have become
known in Spain, the sentiment in
favor of peace has become much
more widespread in that country.
But surrender is obviously going
to be bitterly sntangonized by the
war party, on the plea that while
Spain has suffered losses at sea,
she has so Ear sus stained no defeat
on land. This plea will probably
not hold good for long. Santiago
will go under in few days, and
that will be the defeat by land
which they stand upon as prelim-
mary TO submission. But the long
pent,up revolution is about to burst
upon the Spanish government, and
the present authorities will not then
have the choice of peace or con-
tinued war. The people will de-
eide the question, and few other
questions of government as well.

CLIPPERTON ISLAND.

CITY OF MEXICO, January "a
high official of the department ofefor-
eign relations said today regarding
the Clipperton Island incident: THE
sending of the gunboat Democratic on
a visit of inspection to portions of the
Mexican territory was de facto attend
ed with no conflict or difficulty with
the individual Americans found there,
and in no event could that visit have
given rise to international questions,
inasmuch as the occupation of the Is
land, if occupation it can be called,
was the act of private persons, hav-
ing no official character.
"The American flag was found fly
ing there, but the Americans them
selves. on hearing from the lips of the
American officers that the island was
Mexican territory, hauled it down and
allowed the party of MeNicans to run
up the flag of this country without
the slightest opposition either in act
or word. There was no i'll feeling or
bitterness between the Americans on
the island and the eXpeditionary par
ty. On the contrary nothing but good
will and friendly disposition was dis
played on both sides.
"The claim made in behalf of the
French by La Liberte of Paris is re-
garded as Il canard France never held
the island" -

position in the wharf matter.
The special committee held brief
session after the main meeting had
disbanded. a note was sent 10 the

date. 1t is likely that the conference
will take place this week.
The committee will invite General
