And he did
Just smashed the lid

Schley old fox,
Why
Didn't somebody mention Schlcv
When the news came?
Did they try
To keep his name
From being coupled With the glorious

Did they try to jerk
The credit he had won
Away?
Well hardly. but what's done is done

Were excited that day
So here's To Schlev,
The man
Who saw them with his little eve.
As they ran
For the open sea.

To him is due

SIMPSONS RIDE.

(With apologies to +. Buchanan Read. }
Ont of the mouth of Santiago Bay.
Where the Yankee blOckading squadron
lay,
An ominous cloud OF smoke uprOlled,
Telling OF how Cervera bold
Was making dash that fatefui day,
Daring for freedom the deadly fray,
And Sampson eleven miles away
Leading the desperate Spanish van
The flagship Maria Tere, "A ran,
The Admiral's pennant at her peak,
And crOwding behind her. jOwl by cheek,
The Oquendo. Colon. and Fizeaya
Came Streaming ont in grim array.
And Sampson eleven miles away.
Then came those maratime dogs of war,
The terrible P1uton and fierce Juror,
With dread torpedo and quick fire gun,
Well calculat d to fire and run;
But the little Gloucester bars their way
And sinks them both in the fearful fray,
With Sampson eleven miles away.
The Brooklyn, Texas and Iowa.
And Oregon too. were blazing away.
In style to make the DOns feel tired
The Spanish flagship was quickly fired :,
And soon beside the OqutndD lay,
A burning wreck off CaDanas Bay,
And Sampson only five miles away.
Then "Fighting B,b," Of the Iowa,
Took special charge Of the ViZcaya
Aud chased her along the Cuban shore
A half a dozen miles away.
Until she sank in the smoke and spray,
The pluckiest victim of the day,
And Sampson only three miles away.
Like frightened stag with hounds in chase
The CrStObal Colon kept her pace,
But the brooklyn baked her at every
turn,
While the Oregon banging away astern
Until she beached on the Cuban cay
And struck her flag to Commodore Schley,
With Sampson still one mile away.
But like his namesake of ancient day,
Who thousands with his jawbOne did STAY
Bold Sampson came on the scene all
right,
In time to claim everything in sight;
And from his report it is safe to say
He'd have won the victory that day
IL he had been forty miles away.

The long fight over tho proposition to
annex Hawaii is over. The resolution
was called up in the Senate on Wcdncs-
day, July 9th, and passed by vote of
AZ to 81. 1t had already passed the
House. Six Democrats, including Scna-
tor Mclanrin, voted for anncxation
Senator Tillman was not present, but
was paired against tho proposition.
The Hawaiian, or Sandwich Islands,
which have been the subject of so much
controversy in the United States for six
years, and which became tho Republic of
Hawaii on July 4, 1884, have total area
of G,7l0 square miles, and population
of about 10000, of whom $1,000 are
IIawai;ans, 5000 part IUawaiians, 4,NG0
Japanese, $4,000 Chinese, $1,000 Portu-
gucsc, $500 Americans, and fcw thou
sand British, Germans, French and Nor
wcigians. Whom tho Republic was pro-
claimed Sanford B. Dole was elected Pre-
sidcnt for tho torn ending December 81 =,
1900. In 1896 the total value of tho i'm
ports was $7,lG5,O00 and tho exports
amounted to Sl5, 5,I3G,00 Tho principal
exports arc sugar, rice and bananas.
When tho war with Spain began Hawaii,
owing to tho annexation affair, threw
neutrality to tho winds and did all she
could do to aid the United States in tho
attack upon tho Philippines.

Con. Shaftcr now has Santiago COM
plctoiy surrounded, and escape IS almost
impossible for tho Spanish army in the
city. The fall Of Santiago IS only a qucs-
ton of worry short time. Tho army
seems just as invinciblo as the navy.
While Dewey and Schloy have been Yn-
gagged in tho sport of sinking and burn
ing Spanish ships, Shaftcr and his brave
mcn-hayo not been idle, but have been
teaching Spain Of what Americans are
made. Santiago must he taken in very
few days, and then Porto Rico and
Havana will feel the force OF American
vim and determination.
II is simply wonderful how America
rs power has risen in tho estimation of
all Europe in tho last thrco months.
When this war was inauguratcd the
United States were ranked rs sixth
among the nations, aud in just three
months she has placed herself as first in
tho opinion of the nations. The war
with Spain will not end without it's good
results to the United States Power com
