EFFECTS OF THE WAR.

Unless Spain could infict Sc
we're blow upon the United States at
the very outset the naval men at
Washington figure out that we
should be able to invest Cuba with
our fleets, to establish an actual
blockade of such ports as Havana,
Matanzas, Santiago de Cuba, Glen
fuegos, ETC., and by preventing food
supplies going into the Cuban cit
les starve out the Spanish army in
the island. Almost every military
expert in Washington will say that
if our fleets are strong enough to
beat back the Spanish squadron the
task of capturing Cuba will be an
easy one. A blockade will do it al
most without the aid of our troops
landed in Cuba, for without new
supplies of provisions the capital of
Havana and all the leading cities
would be in dreadful plight.
What will become of the poor re-
concentrates if matters are pushed
as far as this is a thing which people
in Washington charged with respon-
sibility do not like to think of
Probably many thousands of them,
already suffering for the necessities
of life, would starve before peace
could be declared. One reason why
President Mckinley was last week
so loath to let slip the dogs of wal
was because he had been informed
of the terrible plight of the recon
centrados in case war between Spain
and the United States were added tc
their other woes. Louis Klopsch,
who has done such good work in
feeding the starving victims ol
Spain's cruelty, told the presiden,
that if war were to come 10000 oi

SENT TO SWEAR AGAINST PA.
Because His Ma Didn't Dare to Leave Her
Living Seat.

He was mere STRIPPING Of lad. He
might have been I years of age or he
might have been 9. Nobody could tell
by looking at his face. The only mark
of certainty about the youthful counte-
nance was the sure sign that some of
his ancestors had come from old Ire
land. The little fellow walked hastily
Recorder Finnegan 5 court. He did not
notice the four persons standing in line
waiting to get affidavits made out
against some bothersome relatives, but
the youth pushed through the crowd
and disengaged the attention of the
clerk with this odd demand:
81 want to make an affidavit against
my pa, said he and pushed his little
red head around the side Of the desk.
"You want what" GU, ried the clerk.
II want to swear against pa, said
the boy again.
What has your pa done:'
"He has just been i'll prizefght
with ma. 4"
"Well, why don't your ma swear out
the warrant against pa: My boy, you
are too young; you won't fill the bill "
'My ma can't come, and she wanted
me to fix it up for her.
why could she not Gomez" asked
the clerk, getting interested in the
youngsters story. He could not imag-
inc why the wife would not be only too
willing to swear out the warrant.
My pa and ma they got i'll the fight
in the kitchen. That is how it hap
pened. My pa made a drive for her,
but didn't land, and then my ma she
grabbed mp the rolling pin and fioored
the old man. She is now setting on
him, holding him down, and that is
why she couldn't come to swear against
him. She sent me. New Orleans

A NATIONAL EXAMPLE.

Montana's congressional delega-
ton was harmonious upon the Gu
ban resolutions. Senators Carter
and Mantle and Congressman Hart
man speak but one voice upon the
question of Cuba libre, and it is no
ticeable that that voice is on the
side of right. Mr.. Mantle made
ringing speech for Cuban independ-
ence the closing paragraph of which
is rhetorical gem full of sound pa
triotic thought. Closing his talk
Mr.. Mantle said:
While holding these pronounced
views, | shall yet await with calm
confidence the action of the great
committee of this body having this
grave subject in charge, satisfied
that out of the fullness of their ripe
judgement, their profound states
manship, and their exalted patriot
ism will be evolved plan of action
which shall meet all the demands of
this trying situation, which shall do
justice to the oppressed, which shall
vindicate the courage and Christian
character of the American people,
which shall enthrone liberty in Gu
ba and preserved unsullied the hen
or and dignity of the nation, and
which shall declare to the world
that there is no room beneath the
folds of our flag or within its shad-
ow for inhumanity and injustice, for
humiliation or fear.
AS the case stands today the
Spanish armed forces have been ord
cred out of Cuba and Cuban waters
and the honor of America has been
vindicated. 1t has been proved that
there is nation upon earth with hui
manity, honor and courage to stand
for an oppressed and helples people.
The charity of European nations is
manifest in the treatment of the Ar
menian question. But it offers most
ridiculous comparison to that of the
United States, in her bearing toward
Cuba.
Uncle Sam has an abounding, up
to-date charity of the latest umbrel-
la pattern, and our delegation in
congress is modelled upon right
lines.
