sion" of the lot Every one remembers
how we captured Guam in June, 1898.
The cruiser Charleston sailed into the
harbor of San Luis d'Apra breathing
battle and destruction. Guam having
no Geographic communication with the
outside world, had heard nothing about
our war with Spain, and her smiling
people came down to the wharf to greet
the American sailors with every dem
onstration of hospitality. The Spanish
governor sent the Charleston word that
it would have given him great pleasure
to return the salute, but unfortunately
he was out of powder.
When informed of the condition of
things, the Guamese cheerfully sub
mitteda ito the new order of things. Off

and Deep Ravines.
Manila, Oct 80, $3.50 a. m.-General
Young, with the infantry, is advanc-
ing upon Cabanatuan under difficulties.
The country is furrowed with rivers
and deep ravines, the bridges over
which have been destroyed; the mud is
knee deep, rations are short and the
transportation of supplies has been de-
layed by low water and the poor con-
dition of the roads. There are suff1-
Gent stores, however, to keep the bri-
gade. The insurgents for a long time
have lived off the country, impoverish-
ing it. The American horses are not
yet accustomed to the native grass and
a long bullock train left San Fernan-
do carrying hay for the cavalry.
The Spaniards report that there are
no insurgents at Cabanatuan. The
gunboat Laguna de Bay dispersed a
force of rebels who We're engaged in
constructing trenches beyond Santa
Rosa. The boat was fired upon by a
party of insurgents bearing a white
flag. She is now aground
Numbers of Chinese are coming from
Angeles to Tariac, paying the insur-
gents for the privilege.
1t is reported that Aguinaldo and the
Filipino congress are still at Tarlac.
There are about 5000 insurgents be-
fore Angeles. They have been quiet
for the past week.
Two thousand rebels are at Bamban,
five miles to the north.

to show a poll tax receipt or pay poll
tax there. 1t so happened that he
and I had old 1897 poll tax receipts.
These we raised to 1899 and when the
collector came around we flashed
them with success. He asked me IL
there was any one in the party who
had not paid. told him Jack Conley
lived in my district and l knew he had
not paid. He tackled Conley and it
was Conley who made the roar. The
sheriff said in explanation of the fact
that he had no tax receipt that Off
GERS We're not required to pay poll
taxes, but the man said they were in
Utah. About this time Corcoran and
I left. Conley says he did not pay,
but we believe he did,
Sheriff Conley admits there may have
been some discrepancies in his orig
inal story, but he still asserts that it
was WalkuD who paid.
There is another story told on the
sheriff. Being aware that there was
law in Utah against the expectation
of ducks from the state, but being
anxious to remember their friends. the
party procured the assistance of a
game merchant in Duckville and had
him pack their ducks in five butter
boxes labelling them butter" These
were entrusted to the care of Sher-
if Conley. Then a foul conspiracy was
entered into.
At the depot a man representing, him
self as game warden approached the
sheriff and, pointing to the five boxes,
asked:
Are these yours?"
Visions of arrest for violating the
game laws fitted before the sheriffs
eyes.
"N-n-no. SIR" said he, hesitatingly
''All right" said the man. I'm just
confiscate Them" and he proceeded to
do so, while the sheriff, with a sink
ing heart, looked on. The man left
with the boxes and the sheriff, with
his heart pretty we'll sunken by this
time, boarded the train. He did not
know that ahead of him in the ex-
press car We're the five boxes.

nineteen million dollars heavier. One
reason is that. with the, growth of
population, more dwellings and other
buildings are erected SO that there are
more to be insured and more to burn.
Another reason, a rather fanciful one II
strikes us, is said to be that as people
grow more prosperous they grow more
careless in the matter of using and
safeguarding lights The increase in
the number of fires may. perhaps. be
most largely attributed to the great in
crease in the use of electric wires.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
Its Completion Will Occupy the Atten-

ton of Mrs. Stanford.
New York, Oct 29.-Mrs. Leland
Stanford of California is at the Fifth
Avenue hotel in the best of health and
spirits, having recently arrived from
Europe, where she passed several
months. She will remain here a week
longer and then go direct to Califor-
mia, where she will pass the winter.
Speaking of the great Stanford uni
versity, the completion of which alb
serbs her entire time and attention,
Mrs. Stanford said:
Before I left California I told my
architects to consult with DR.. Jordan
the president of the university as to
what further buildings he needed, and
they will be devoted to chemistry and
art The plans are now awaiting my
approval.
EN- the library which has room for
250,O00 volumes, 1 am about to place
three stained glass windows. The
center one is Holman Hunts Light of
the Work. and this motto appears be-
meath: i bring peace to this house
The one on the left represents Moses
sitting with his tablet and writing the
commandments, while that on the left
portrays Thomas A. Kempis, with the
Imitation of Christ in his hands
am firm believer in object teaching.
"The university now has 1,4O0 stu
dents-500 girls and 900 boys. I have
limited the number of girls who can
attend to 500, as there was such an
influx of them that they outnumbered
the boys and threatened to destroy
the identity of the university as a
masculine seat of learning, which it
should be since it is in commemora-
ton of my son. ~ . -
In all that + have done since my

ed to the plans which he gave his app

1t appears that the Spaniards left III The
island have been sowing the seeds of
discord in the Guam mind and teaching
it to entertain low opinion of the
prestige and prowess of the American
eagle.
OF course it becomes necessary to
make such a demonstration as will in
spire the Guamese with a wholesome
respect for their lord and master, Presi-
dent Mckinley. 1t is to be regretted on
many accounts that such a course must
be pursued. We had hoped that there
was one island in our Pacific possess
sions that we should not have to sub
due either by force of arms or force of
brides. Guam is disappointment.
The Guamese We're supposed to be liv-
ing life of idyllic happiness and
Adam and-Eve simplicity; with little to
wear and little to do except to go fish
ing all day and in the evening to join
hands and dance merrily around a lib
erty pole flying the star-spangled BAN
ner. This charming illusion is dis
pelled--Guam as an idol is shattered.
Although far from the madding crowd,
the Guamese have caught onto the bel
ligerent spirit of the day, and are full
of treason, stratagem and dire threat
encies against the peace and dignity of
America. They are contributing their
full share to the comic opeart features
of American imperialism.

n OW comes the Spanish version
IN of the capitulation of Santiago.
1t is straightforward, manly
presentation Of the facts as the Span
ish investigators have gathered them,
and be it said to the everlasting credit
Of Spain. it exonerates General Toral
and his subordinates from all blame.
Fears have been expressed that the
Spanish government. catering to
SPANS false pride, would try tc make
Toral a scapegoat; or, at least would
find something severely to criticise in
his proceedings On the contrary, it
declares in effect, after due investiga-
ton, that Toral did his duty. his whole
duty and nothing but his duty.
Spain holds that the surrender of
the city was inevitable from the time
the American squadron blockaded the
harbor. and 50 cut off any help in the
way of provisions or munitions of war
from the outside. BY implication that
means that the Spanish forces in San
tiago otherwise could have resisted the
attacking American army. That is
delusion, but let Spain cherish it if she
wishes-she has been Inundated
enough. Also let her stick to her anus
ing theory that the Merrmac was
sunk by the combined force of the Rel
ma Mercedes and the water batteries
II any glory can be extracted out Of
the sinking of the Merrimac. let Spain
have it. 1t was a useless piece of work
all that it ever accomplished in the
world was to show that there are men
in the American navy brave enough 20
undertake any kind of hazardous ex-
plot.
The Spanish report sheds no light on
the recent American controversies over
the taking of Santiago. These are not
Of thrilling interest anyhow. As to the
merits of the Sampson-Shafter dispute,
people are inclined to decide in favor
of Shafter on general principles, with
out even listening to the evidence. To
what extent Captain Chadwick of the
cruiser New York may be the author
Of the letter Shafter sent to Toral de-
manding Torafs surrender, doesn't sig
nifty. The real credit for the surrender
belongs to General Miles. Had not
Miles arrived in time to prevent il,
Shafter would have carried out his an
nounced intention to draw his troops
IF back five miles, a retrograde move
ment that could not mean anything but
retreat in the face of the enemy. The
day of Miles arrival he conferred with
Admiral Sampson regarding the situa-
t:on-surrender being so far from
agreed to at that time that SIMPSONS
flagship was engaged in bombarding
the Spanish position at the hour of his
arrival, July II. Miles rode to Skaters
headquarters and instructed him to in
form Toral that the major general conf
manding the army of the United States
would like to hold a conference with
him. 1t was Miles, and not Shafter,
who emphasized the Importance of the
fact that the commanding general had
come to Santiago with reinforcements
and that the real question for Toral 10
consider was whether mis- forces should
surrender at once or be captured later,
Miles, out of courtesy, permitted Shat
ter to carry through the formalities.
Let Shafter and Chadwick fight it out
as they please in the matter of that
letter; to Miles belongs the honor OF
the surrender of Santiago.
