A despatch from London says that
the Madrid correspondent of the
Daily Neacs says: "Oficial kilograms
from Cuba confirm the report that
Rear Admiral Sampson and Commo-
dore Schley, with their combined
squadrons are now in front of Santi-
ago de Cuba, blockading Admiral Ger
vera. Ministers consider that Santi-
ago possesses sufficient defences to
meet any aggressive action the en-
emy may take. The position of the
American squadron will cause the
government to take immediate action
though it is unknown as yet what form
this action will assume. Rumors that
a battle has already occurred are Of
ficially denied. Great Importance is
attributed to the latest news from the
Philippines respecting the Spanish
plan of mobilization.''

THE SECOND DISTRICTS REPRE-
SENTAT TIVE.

Some of the newspapers of the
State have been trying to enliven their
columns by discussing the question of
a change of congressman. The fire
broke out in the First District when it
was announced that a candidate had
appeared in opposition to Judge Pow
ers, and later the talk began in the
Second District, when two candi-
dates were brought forward, but there
is apparently a feeling among the
people of the State antagonistic to
the proposition to drop true, strong
and experienced men in the hope that
new men may make better Represen-
tatives. The talk in the First Dis
trict has quieted down, and in the
Second District the only new candi-
date is Hon. i. M. Read of Bellows
Falls. Mr.. Read is a strong lawyer
and is held in high esteem in his own
locality and wherever he is known.
The press has been very courteous in
it's treatment of him and it has also
spoken very highly of the character
and career of General Grout, the pres
ent incum bent. The principle reason
advanced against General CIRCUITS re-
election is that he has had the Office
long enough. But when we consider
the position that Vermont's Repre- :
sentatives have take n in both branch
es of Congress heretofore, and re-
member that it is all due to our hav
ng placed good men in Office and keep
ing them there until their associates
in Congress and the people of the
country have learned to trust them
and to rely upon their counsel, this
argument cannot be said to be very
strong one. To send man to Con-
gress and keep him there until he has
learned the ropes and is thoroughly
conversant with the affairs of the ma
ton, and consequently of much value
as a legislator to the state and nation,
and then throw him over for someone
else who would like the Office will
give us chance to honor more of our
citizens but will not work for the best
interests Of the State in the long run.
At the present time we have one Eu
ropean war on our hands and we can
not tell at what time complications
may aris with other foreign pow
! ers, and is it wise policy for us at
this time to turn down a man who is
experienced in legislation and who, if
returned to Congress,is all ready to go
on with the work now in hand, to
substitute man, who, though an es-
teemed citizen, has not had legisla-

The Spanish government is making
a stagger at Furnishing its plundering

HAVEN'T DONE A THING.

They don't seem to be doing my
thing" remarked q Laramie curbstone
general as he leaned comfortably back
in the shade. cts q wonder to me that
Mckinley don't get a move on himself
and bring this war to a close. 1t ought
to have been ended at least sixty days
ago."
1t is strange indeed that the admins
tration does not do something. Three
weary months have dragged their
slow length away and yet what has
been done? Only this, and nothing
more:
Our small but magnificent navy has
been placed upon a y footing and the
Oregon has made a race Of IA, 900 miles
to join the Atlantic fieet.
An army Of 200. 900 men has been
enlisted, equipped and trained for bat
tie.
The Spanish Pacific squadron has
been destroyed by Dewey and the
Philippines, containing 1000, 900 people
are at our mercy. The vessels destroy
ed were worth about SO. 00O. 900 and the
islands are of fabulous richness.
American loss: A few marines slight
ly wounded and about $500 damage
to vessels. Meanwhile Admiral Dewey
has taught Emperor William a whole
some respect for the American flag
which will be worth an incalculable
amount to us in the future.
Numerous Spanish vessels have been
captured along the north coast OF Gu
ba and a number Of forts Of minor i'm
portance have been bombarde3 and
silenced.
The Ladrone islands, in the Pacific,
have been added to our possessions.
making a convenient coaling station
for the American Pacific fleets.
The province Of Santiago de Cuba
has been invaded by General Shafter,
the town of Santiago de Cuba has fallen
and Toral has surrendered o men
than those comprising the American
invading army, despite the fact that the
Americans were the aggressors and
had to drive the Spaniards from behind
their works.
In one of the most magnificent naval
ENGAGEMENTS recorded In history. Ger
vera's fleet, the pride Of the Spanish
navy, has been utterly destroyed. and
all its officers and men were either
slain or captured. It's value was about
SIS, 600, 900. American loss: n man
killed; little damage to vessels.
AT the battle Of Manzanilia ave Span
ish gunboats have been destroyed. a
ue, about 1900, 900. American loss, o.
General Miles has equipped an expe-
dition and together with a powerful
feet has set sail for Porto Rico.
A squadron under the command OF
Commodore Watson has been organ
lied and will soon proceed to Spain for
the purpose Of bombarding her a
cities and capturing Camara's feet.
Congress has provided revenues for
the prosecution of the war. has voted
from the treasury $50. 900, 900 for the
purchase OF wal material, and the COM
mon people have subscribed 5000, 00O.-
900 for the use Of the government.
The history Of the world has been
eclipsed, no government ever having
ACCOMPLISHED so much in 30 short a
space of time.

Future OF the Philippines.

The discussion Of the future Of the
Philippines has gone on apace and
has brought out great variety OF
opinions. The surprising thing in
the discussion has been the remark
able vigor and extent Of the American
sentiment in favor of the island as an
American possession. 1t is coming
to be understood throughout the
country that annexation of Hawaii or
the Philippines or Porto Rico does
not by any means imply, either now
or at any time in the future, admiS-
sion into the sisterhood of Federal
States whose government is provided
for under the constitution. 1t is as
precisely as reasonable and possible
that the United States should exer.
else general sovereignty over a dis
tant island without bringing that
island into the Federal Union as for
Holland to exercise dominion in Java
without bringing the people of that
remote realm into domestic relation
with the Netherlands. The question
is not, after all, a theoretical one.
Nobody need trouble his mind about
its constitutional aspects. 1t is a
strictly practical question, and one
that must be considered boldly and
fairly in the light of the interests of
everybody really concerned. The
people primarily affected are o. the
native inhabitants of the Philippines,
(2) the Spanish whom we are disros.
sessing, and (3) ourselves. We need
not hesitate for moment about the |
rights Of the SpsniardS. They have
brought this war upon themselves,
and the sun is setting upon their
colonial empire. We shall rut our
selves in their place in the Phillip
pines, and we must then consider our
own interests and the interests Of the
native population. We shall have to
maintain military occupation for a
good while, no matter how eager we
nay be to rid ourselves of the whole
business. 1t may be possible that
lnder the friendly auspices of our
military government there may be
lursed into life some tolerable sort of
Iative republican system.-Reriem

hours circles the earth with one con.
tinuous and unbroken strain Of the
martial airs Of England.
Since the world has become 40
affected by the successful growth OIL
this colony ard considering our
present relations with Spain it is fit
that we should cherish religiously the
memory Of those to whom we are in
debted tor its success. TO Capt
John Smith we owe the preservation
Of the colony, but to Pocahontas, the
saviour Of Smith, the wild untamed
beauty Of the wilderness, we owe a
debt of gratitude we never can repay.
Though born the daughter Of an
Indian king she was possessed Of ali
those graces Of character which be-
come a Christian princess. She was
indeed a jewel. The first of her
people to unite in marriage with the
English speaking race in order that
she might worship God according to
the dictates of her conscience; who
watched over and protected the infant
colony. the descendants Of whom have
reflected her character by their true
nobility-she should be honored and
her memory treasured so long as this
people occupy the land she saved for
us from the Spaniards. All honor
then for the little dusky maiden.
Whilst we rejoice at our success
against Spain let us remember that
she was once great and powerful, and
have the magnimity to pause and
give a sigh for the passing Of her
greatness. Let us too in this our
hour of victory remember what we
owe to Pocahontas and pay tribute to
the memory Of her unselfish and
noble character.
