CONSISTENT advocates of the Monroe
doctrine cannot find it in their hearts
to very seriously condemn the protest
of Germany against transferring the
seat of war to Spain, or bringing the
contest into European waters. The
assertion of our country that the war
is waged simply to free Cuba and for
no purpose of conquest, seems to be
taken with some grains of allowance
for change of sentiment under the
stimulating fervor of success. 1t is
claimed that Germany is backed by at
least two other of the great powers in
this protest. There seems to be only
one contingency that would make
such a transfer necessary, and that is
that Spain may not come to us to be
licked, and that seems to be her pres.
ent intention.

sions for the Omaha International
Exposition have rushed the prepare.
tions and the result of united and I'M
animous effort will be grand display
of the marvelously rich apd varied
resources of the great" Webfoot State"
The state board has determined to be
on hand in good time with repre-
sentation second to none. The first
Mining and Irrigation Congress of ten
Of the Western and coast States was
recently held at Baker City, in the
richest mineral belt in Eastern Oregon.
There the project received a great
impetus.
The State Board has profited BY
past experience and knowledge OF " the
power Of the press" 1t has organized
for work and among the first things
accomplished was to appoint press
representative to promote publicity OF
all matters pertaining to the Oregon
display, and at home and abroad the
Omaha Fair in the State. The Board
recognizes that the cooperation of the
State press is invaluable in an under
taking in which the public is inter.
ested. Already the good results are
apparent. The press work is in charge
of Mr.. ID. c. Freeman bright, practi-
Cal newspaper man, from one of the
Portland dailies. His knowledge of
the State and acquaintance with the
editors and publishers of the country
press-which, in Oregon, is nothing if
not up to-date and progressive-makes
him valued adjunct in advertising
the exposition.
The Oregon Board of Commissioners
have done a wise thing, and the sug.
gestiOn is offered for the benefit of
! other State commissions that are
laboring to arouse sluggish public
interest in the welfare of their State.

from the Cuban coast so that he may
make a dash into Havana. The prin-

are founded on the night raids by the
Spanish torpedo boat destroyers upon

Later, when the rainy season sets in,
the fast blockade runners, both Span-

carry ammunition and provisions to
Cuba and Porto Rico.
Saturday evening, two hours before

les. This was practically repetition
of the trick by which the gunboat
Vicksburg and the little converted rev.
enue cutter Morrell were, last week,
decoyed by fishing smack and
brought within range of the big Krupp
guns OF Santa Clara batteries. Thanks
to bad gunnery, on that occasion, both
boats escaped with slight damage.
Commander Lilly, of the Mayhower
which was flying the pennant, saw
that the same attempt was being made
to draw the thin-skinned vessels then
on duty within range of the land bat.
terics. His order was accordingly to
form column in echelon and move
in the direction along the coast of the
flying steamers. After proceeding
about five miles the decoys turned
about and headed for MORO castle.
Our fleet did not follow, and the Span.
iards, seeing that their scheme had
failed opened fire at long distance,
without result.
On the 18th instant, the Spanish
gnnboat Callao steamed into the bay
at Manila and fell like a ripe peach |
into the hands OF our gallant Dewey.
1t seems that she had been cruising
several months amid the southern
islands out of reach of news, and her
commander was in total ignorance of
the war existing between his govern.
ment and the United States. When
he arrived off Cavite, with the Span.
ish flag flying at the peak, he was by
no means surprised that the Olympia
fired a shot across his bow, for he i'm.
nocently imagined that she was en-
gagged in target practice, and turned
to get out of range, but when the
Boston and Raleigh joined in the fir.
ing it began to get through his head
that the demonstration meant more
than holiday recreation and he at
once hauled down his flag, but con.
tinued on his way. The firing was
and he hove to with a white
flag on his foremost. Soon as the
matter was explained, the ship was
surrendered and brought to an an.
chorage near the flagship. The
Calao is an iron gunboat of 20S tons
burden, with four modern guns and a
crew of 80. She is in excellent trim
and was just what Admiral Dewey
needed for river work.

THE Olympian in commenting upon
the proposed change in the color Of
military uniforms from blue to brown,
says: "Brown is an easier color to
keep clean than blue" which is about
as palpable bull" as ever an Irish
man has made. Oily meant to say that
a brown fabric would not "show dirt"
as readily as blue one, which, while
it is probably true, can be readily seen
to be of no benefit and probably det-
riment, for it would enable filth to &C.
cumulate in spite of sanitary regula-
tons for promoting cleanliness. For

The truth of the illustration is SO
apparent, SO far as the Spanish loss is
concerned, that our neighbor no doubt

remainder of the parallel. 1t is a re-
markable instance of that failing
which if the doctors should diagnose
they would call lapsus calami.

"JIM HILL" the railroad magnate,
offers, at the close of the war, to pur-
chase all the auxiliary cruisers of the
government. for employment in the
Japan trade. Some of these vessels
are merely leased by the government
and of course their owners will have
considerable to say regarding their
disposition when the contract with the
government expires, but there are 9th.
ers that have been purchased by the
government and are not such vessels
in all respects as are wanted for war
vessels. 1t is gratifying to know that
these ships may probably find a pur-
chaser and be employed in extending
foreign trade, instead of rotting from
inactivity at some station OF the navy.

A Slap at Tacoma.

In his annual report, just issued
for the current year, President VOL
colt Gibbs, of the National Academy
of Sciences, Washington, ID. c., adj
ministers singing rcbuke to the
silly vanity OF the little "City OF
Destiny On page 81. section 10,
under the head Of "Thc Mount
Rainier Forest Reserve" Mr.. Gibbs
says, " 1t is suggested that the exist
ing Pacific Forest Reserve should be
enlarged by the addition of narrow
strip of territory along its western
border, in order to correct an error
made when the boundaries of this
reserve were first laid down, and to
make it thus include some OF the
salient features OF Mount Rainier !;
that it should be extended southwark
along the two slopes OF the Cascade
Mountains nearly To the Columbia
River, and the name of Pacific Forest
Reserve should be changed to Mount
Rainier Forest Reserve. The name
Pacific Forest Reserve is meaningless,
and it is fitting that this reserve
should bear the name of the great
glacier-covered mountain, one of the
highest, most beautiful and interest
ing mountains in the United States,
which is it's chief natural feature. This
was felt when the reserve was es-
tablished, but to the people of Tacoma,
Mount Rainier is Mount Tacoma, and
to avoid exciting jealousies, the Sec
rotary of the Interior, ut the moment,
adopted an inexpensive and inap-
propriate name.
"The mountain is now known Of
ficially in this country and by all
foreign biographies as Mount Rainier,
and is nowhere called Tacoma beyond
the limits of the city of that name;
and there seems no longer any reason
why this reserve should not bear the
name of Mount Rainier"
Now this is fair and square state
ment of the case. 1t will be seen
that Mr.. Gibbs, as President of the
National Academy of Sciences, has
virtually made the change which his
sound judgment suggests.
While further comment is I'M
necessary, it will be interesting to OBJ
serve what the people of the little
city by the sea will do about the mat

lin Their New Camp

The following interesting incl
dents are CLEANED from the con-
tents of q private letter received
yesterday from one of our boys in
the 1st Florida regiment, relat-
ing his pleasant experience in
transit from Camp Fernandina
to Huntsville, Ala:
Their trip included the towns
of Waycross, Albany, Fort Val
ley, Macon, Atlanta and Chat
tanooga. Their transportation
was of a very comfortable char
acter and the change OF. scenery
and cordial greeting they re-
celved all along the line made
their entrance into Alabama a
genuine ovation.
At Macon Captain III. c..
Wright and Malcomb Aver, both
former citizens of Lake Weir,
this county, met them, and ut
Atlanta Albert Fox, a former
Ocala boy, formed himself into a
reception committee.
AS they passed through the
peach section of Georgia, Fort
Valley and Marshall, the ladies,
the fairest in the land, came out
to cheer them and feed them on
the most luscious peaches, whose
cheeks fairly blushed with pleas
ure to think such daily hands
had caressed them as they were
transferred to the hungry
braves, who assured the fair
donors that more delicious peaches
never grew.
At Huntsville they received a
royal welcome, the ladies' untir.
ing in their efforts to make then
coming "a memorable one, and
their stay will mark a red letter
day in their soldier experience,
If all the boys don't lose their
hearts it will be a wonder, for
they say they never saw sc
many pretty girls as they see II
Huntsville.
Their camp is all they could
desire; the water, gushing out
from under an immense rock al
the head of a beautiful valley, is
as refreshing as it. is pure.
The change is delightful one
but with 1T all most of the boy,
feel that if glory on the battle
field does not await them they
would prefer returning home.
The Star is delighted to thin
the lives of our soldier boys have
fallen in such pleasant places.
