MILITARY EXPEDITIONS.
DiMculties Which Were Involved in
Sending the Troops to
Manila

1t was on the first day of May that
Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish
ships and defenses in Manila bay.
Twenty-four days later the first de-
tachment of troops sent to reinforce
him sailed from San Francisco.
There were some expressions of i'm
patience because of this delay, and
also because more troops We're not
sent. But those who criticise the gov
ernment on this account, says the
Youths Companion, can have little idea
of the difficulties involved in sending
a large military expedition such a
distance.
From San Francisco to Manila is
about 1000 miles. The voyage, under
favorable conditions, takes about four
weeks. Ships had to be chartered and
made ready in haste, to convey not
the troops only, but their weapons,
field artillery as well as rifles, horses
and their subsistence, tents, bedding.
hospital stores and miscellaneous
equipments, together with rations for
the whole force sufficient for the voy-
age and for some time after.
1t was necessary also to carry out
large quantities of ammunition and
supplies for Admiral Dewey's squad
ron. for ships carrying on operations
1000 miles from their base of supplies
need many things.
osecurc the ships and prepare then
for such voyage, and to accumulate
and get on board of them all the need.
ed supplies in little more than three
week., was really q remarkable
achievement.

Belts of two-inch ribbon, which have

Pear-shaped pearls are the fancy of
the moment, and. of course, they nre
rare and expensive, having increased in
price with the demand. The pure white

OF the county commissioners WAS seen
regarding the proposed memorial and he
says that SO FAR as he was concerned he
heartily favored the project. The Wes-
ton pass road is in very bad shape and
with the mining revival going on there
it would certainly be to the interest of
Leadville to have the road put in shape
whether the state road project was
under consideration or not. The matter
will be brought before the board and he
believed that the rest of the Lake county
board of commissioners were also in ac-
cord with it. 1t is MIR. Benefits under
standing that the Weston pass road
would be part of the state road and in
that case it certainly behooved Leadville
to see that the project was carried
through the county commissioners at
next Monday nights meeting.
The Board of Trade had already taken
ection in the matter by passing a reso-
ntion asking that Senator Smith and
Representative Kennedy do all in their
power to further the interest of the state
road bill. The senator and representa-
tive from Lake were both heartily in
accord with the PROJECT and it is under
stood that they will give the bill their
support 1t will most likely join in the
memorial taking action atnext Tuesday
nights meeting.
FThe Leadville cyclers will also most
likely Join in the memorial, the cy clers
being unanimously in favor of good
roads and plenty of them.
According to the bill introduced the
state wagon road is designed to begin at
D6hyer and run across Colorado to
Gtand Junction with certain branch
roads thertfrom. 1t will go through
Arapahoe, Jefferson, Park and Chaffee
counties, along the Arkansas river
through Lake county to Tennessee pass,
down the Eagle river, thence down the
Grand liver along the most practical
routn through Garfield and Mesa
co1hties to Grand river, through Eagle
co,Rty to Grand Junction. From the
main line branch roads are to connect
with the Salt Springs, with Steamboat
Springs in Routt county, Meeker and
Bear river.
The bill calls for an appropriation Of
100000 for the construction of the road.
The governor, the state engineer and
the chairman CT the board of county
commissioners of each county traversed
by said road or any branch thereof, are
to be a board of construction for that
portion of the road or any branch there
of. Appropriate mile stones and guide
posts are to be strung along the road,
which is to remain free public high
way.-Leadville Herald Democrat.

State Road Bill.

= Senator Ed 7. Taylor is actively
pushing the state road bill and has
asked the Eeadville board of trade, the
Lake county commissioners and the
Leadville Bicycle club to join in a
memorial to the Twelfth general assem-
bly, to pass the bill, known as senate bill
No. l. Lake county is regarded as by
far the most important county con-
cerned in, the matter. Hence the
anxiety Of Senator Taylor to secure a
strong endorsement. Chairman Bennett

THE NEWS FROM THE HAGUE,
Opposition to Proposal For Protee-

Opposition to Proposal For Protee-
ton of Private Property at Sea.
The Hague, June 23.-The American
demand for the protection of private
property at sea has not yet been present
ed to the peace conference. Mr. Andrew
ID. White, head of the American delega-
ton, on Tuesday requested the president
OF the conference, Nj. de Staal, to submit
the question to the conference, at the
same time suggesting that the proper
way to bring the matter up for discus
sion would be to assemble plenary con-
ference, submit the question and have it
referred to commission for examina-
ton. NJ. de Staal has not yet arrived at
a decision. as the American proposal has
not been translated into French.
1t is the general opinion that the dele
gates of the great powers are absolutely
opposed to raising the question, arguing
the incompetence of the conference to do
SO under the terms of Count Muravief' s
circular, NJ. de Staal having declared at
the opening of the conference, with the
approval of the delegates, that under no
circumstances would the conference dis
cuss any question not contained In the
circular.
Several delegates declare there Is little
chance of the question being discussed,
but that if it is discussed America will
be opposed with the utmost energy by
Great Britain and all the great powers.
A number of the delegates are suffer-
ing from a mild form of malaria, caused
by the emanations of the canals, which
receive the sewage.
