THE Eupora Progress editor says that Coy McLaurtn thinks anybody
L that is for free silver cannot be against the McLaurinsn He surely
must not read the papers as he will find that every one who is for free silver
IS Ia favor Of a just and economical expense Of the governments monies
And this he has proven q failure consequently against him. The free
SILVER advocates as a rule are not only against him but the clan and the
year 9g every candidate from Constable to Gov, will be confronted
with this question; "Are you for a MCLaurin or will you support them
for an Office in this state And to be elected, If they are for them, they
will have to peHure their soul and this few men will do for Office. Rule
or ruin has been their motto and the sooner the reigns of the state are
took from their grasp the better it will be, The year 100 will prove
where the silver men who have their state at heart stand on the McLaurin
issue.

THE ATTACK on Santiago by our army has demonstrated that the

fierce engagement they had planted the stars and stripes where once foated
the Spanish flag. It is said that this battle cost us upwards OF two thous-
and men; five or six times that number has been credited rs killed TO the
Spanish. With the flower Of their fleet destroyed by Sohley and samson
with the capture Of santgo and Manila staring them in the face, and with

A Later Explanation Throws Light
on Their Alleged Misconduct sr.
ut Santiago. ---

Dispatches from Santiago dwell up
on the good feeling prevailing betw
the American and the Spanish soldier.
At Annapolis Admiral Cervera and his
officers have only praise and express
sions of gratitude for the treatment
they have received. From the prison
camp at Portsmouth, N. H., come re-
ports of contentment among the sea-
men confined there. Since the surren-
der ut Santiago there has been Tut one
incident that lid not harmonic with
this pleasant relationship of the con-
querors and the conquered. That was
"the mutiny on the Harvard" 1.
1t will be remembered that after the
prisoners from Cervera's fleet were
collected and placed On board the Har-
ward TO be brought to this country
there occurred what was called q
mutiny. 1t was said that the Spanish
prisoners, without any apparent cause,
suddenly revolted, rushed upon the
marine guard and only ceased their
demonstration when volley killed
half a dozen of them and wounded
many more. The officers, it was stated
at the time, did not participate in the
outbreak. The American interpreter
ticn ofthis strange action was that the
Spanish seamen meant to try and seize
the ship. Since the arrival of The Span
ish officers 1T Annapolis they have fur
nished Information which shows that
the alleged mutiny was a mistake
growing out Of the inability of the
American marines and the Spanish
sailors to understand each others Ian
guage. The version which the Spanish
officers give is interesting. ..
1t is told not in the spirit of com.
plant against the Americans, but to
account for the heretofore inexplca-
bic action OF the Spanish sailors. The
prisoners, e., lie account runs, had be-
gun o make themselves a. homc On the
sh.| and were IN the habit OF CLIMBING
into thN rirrir~. An order was made
that they must not do this. But
through some laundering of the in
terpreter the prohibition was not I'M
derstood by many of the Spaniards
Soon after the iss uaHCG OF The order a
prisoner climbed into the rigging. The
American on guard called to him to
come down, but the prisoner did not
understand what he said.
Thcreupon the marine pointed his
gun threateningly. He simply meant
the motion for moral effect. But some
of the prisoners who were looking on,
and who had been impressed before
capture with the stories of American
bloodthirstiness, rushed forwa I'd with
out arms to protest and to try 10 save
their comrade from what they thought
vas threatened death. They had no
idea of mutiny or of trying to take
the ship. IN their impulsiveness they
presented threatening attitude to
the Americans. The reserve guard was
called out and the volley was fred
The excitement quickly subsidized, and
as soon as explanations had been made
both Americans and spaniards saw. the
mistake.--St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

THE CATTLE QUARANTINE.

Governor Sadler and his friends
are trying to make considerable cap
ital out OF his stand on the quaran-
time question that disturbed the cat
tlemen SO much last spring. a little
examination o! the record then made
by Governor Sadlcr will show that he
alone Is responsible for the trouble
caused the cattlcmen. On March
18th Senator Stewart telegraphcd
Governor Sadler that the cattlemcn
OF California wanted the quarantine
removed SO that they could drive
their cattle into Nevada to save them
from starvation, and asked the Cover
nor what the cattlemcn said about it,.
To this dispatch the following reply
was sent:
"CARsoN CITY, March II, 1893.
wv. M. Observation-Disclosures adj
init that Nevada ranges are pretty
well depleted Of cattle by Eastern
buyers. Men in Hum boldt county
have bought cattle in California to
stock their ranges and cannot bring
them here because of quarantine reg
ulations. Farmers who raise hay
want more cattle in the State so that
they will have market for their feed
next winter. There cannot at present
be any valid objection to raising
quarantine and letting healthy cattle
come into the State. 1t will increase
taxable property. utilize feed on the
range and benefit alfalfa growers.
ar. SADLER"
To this dispatch Senator Stewart
replied that the Secretary of Agricul-
ture would include Nevada in the in
fected territory proper, and remove
the quarantine if the people of Ne
vana desired it. TO this the Cover
nor replied that he did not believe
the cattlemen would favor the propo-
sition Of the Secretary of Agriculture
as it would put Nevada under the ban
of introduction.
These dispatches reached Elko on
Sunday morning March 18th and Gre
ated Il good deal Of. commotion in the
ranks of the Elko County Cattle AS
ISOLATION. A meeting was held and a
dispatch was sent to Senator Stewart
protesting against placing Nevada
under quarantine laws, or of raising
the quarantine between Nevada and
any infected district. A dispatch of
the same tenor was also sent to Gov
ernor Sadlcr. After these dispatches
were sent the matter hung fire for
some time and the Governor finally
called meeting of The cattlemcn at
Carson. This meeting adopted
strong resolutions against raising the
quarantine and demanding its Cn-
forcement. This stiffined the Cover.
nor's backbone which had shown
signs OF weakening and the cattlemen
won their fight.
From this brief outline OF the quar-.
antine matter it will be seen that the
whole difficulty was caused by Cover,
nor SadIcr's first dispatch to Senator
Stewart. Had he taken the proper
stand then the CattlcmCn would have
been saved great deal of trouble
and anxiety and there would lave
been no necessity to call a convention
OF cattlemen ut Carson to bolster VI
the Governors political aspirations
The defeat Of the scheme was due t.
the prompt action of the Elko Count!
Cattle Association and it should have
the credit not Governor Sadler.

structed boat on the Passaic river.
The hull came up to his expectations,
but the engines were not properly
placed and the boat was spoiled The
new Holland boat is fifty feet long
and eleven feet in diameter. 1t is ci-

On the surface and eight knots be-
meath the water. There are dynamite
guns which are expected to do de-

dent Dole is steadily losing populari-
ty, and it is thought that there will
be complete change in the govern
ment when the elections are held next
year. 1t is regarded as probable that
Minister of Finance Damon will be
elected to succeed Dole. 1t is said he
is the only man who would break the
threatened deadlock in the Senate AT
the next Presidential election, wlen
eight votes in the Senate will on,rcl
the situation.
President Dole has signed the i"st
bill for the payment of an indie nrity
to British subject who was lille sally
imprisoned in 1895. This is i'm port
ant, as other governments have sim
liar claims, and it is openly said that
the United States desires its claims
