Argument for Secretary BrowneIl's Re
election.
From the Burlington Free Press. ]

From the Burlington Free Press
There are various strong arguments in
favor of the retention of the services of
Secretary of State Brownell. He has
made an extremely popular as well as
faithful and efficient public servant, hav-
ing discharged the duties of his important
position in manner that will compare
favorably with the conduct of the office
One of the objections to be urged in op-
position to a change in this important
office at this time is well stated by the
Brattleboro correspondent to the Spring
field Republican who says
"There is one feature of the case which
ought to, and doubtless will, be given CON
siderable weight by the convention in
making its choice. The state treasurer
and secretary of state constitute by virtue
of their office the state board of insurance
commissioners. A new man will fill the
office of state treasurer, as Mr.. Field, the
present incumbent, has declined to be a
candidate for reelection. 1t is placed to
the credit of the present board that the
great insurance interests of the people
have been well safeguarded during their
"Seyeral foreign companies whose meth
ods would not wholly Withstand the search
lights turned upon them by these officers
have been knocking in vain for admission
to the state. 1t is important that the in
formation and experience gained by our
present board should not be wholly lost,
and on this account the term of the secre-
tary of state should cover at least two
years of the term of the incoming state
treasurer. This can be accomplished by
the reelection of Mr.. Brownell for another
term, and our state board of insurance
commissioners will then be put on the
same basis, relative to change in member
ship, as is maintained among the state
boards in other states"
Secretary Brownelrs friends are appear
ing at the front in all parts of the state,
not excluding the counties in which other
candidates reside, and the indications seem
to point to his denomination.

THE WAR NEWS.

The event of leading inteles during the
past week has been the landing of 600
marines at Fisherman's Point on Guantan-
coast Of Cuba, 80 or 40 miles from Santi-
ago. The honor of accomplishing the
first successful landing of our troops on
Cuban soil belongs to Captain CLARK of the
big battleship Oregon. The story of the
| fighting which followed on Saturday and
Sunday, and the death Of four of our men
in defending their position, is told in the
dispatches printed elsewhere.
Tuesday the fighting was renewed when
band of the marines sailed out to attack
the Spanish bushwhackers and, after a
rugged tramp of five miles, met the enc
my and vanquished them.
The Spaniards began firing first, and
fired wildly. Our men waited until they
got the range, and then fired carefully and
deliberately, as though at target practice.
And then the Spaniards abandoned their
camp and supplies and literally took to the
woods. The net result was: Two Cubans,
who had joined our forces, killed, and four
wounded, and one American slightly
wounded and 40 Spanards killed and an
unknown number wounded.
The Dolphin, which lay out at sea,
aided the marines by pitching shells over
into the bush where the Spaniards were
hiding.
Admiral Sampson reports to the navy
| department that he has been reinforced by
several hundred Cubans, and that the
forces at Guantanamo are in a very salts
factory condition.
The navy department posted bulletin
Tuesday from Admiral Sampson stating
that Lieut.. Victor Blue, at the risk of his
life, had succeeded IN encircling the bay
Santiago and counting the Spanish vessels
therein, with the result of establishing the
fact that all of Admiral Cervera's ships
were bottled up.
Cubans who have been spying out the
situation have brought news to the same
effect to Admiral Sampson.
For two weeks past there have been re-
peatedly false reports of the sailing CT
troops for Cuba. There appears now to
be no doubt that 80 transports carrying up
ward of 1900 men under command of
Gen. Shafter, sailed Tuesday from Key
West conveyed by several battleships.
Their destination is unknown, but it is
presumably Guantanamo or Santiago. 1t
is the current belief that a second expedi-
tion will soon be despatched to take pos
session of Porto Rico.
A second Manila expedition has sailed
from san Fracsco with about 1000 troops
The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius was
given its first test OFF Santiago Monday
night. Soon after II o'clock the Vesu-
vius under orders from Admiral Sampson
stole up close to the entrance to the har-
Dor. and sent three dynamite shells, one
after another, in the direction of the fort.
Terrific explosions followed, each shell
bursting on impact, and playing havoc
where it struck. This was the first test of
dynamite cruiser in actual warfare, and
naval officers are highly gratifed with the
results.
