"When the court of inquiry meets,

one ouestion. If the battle of Santiago

the blame be attached? This, ! think,
puts the situation in nutshell. III Ad-
| mrnl Schley had lost the battle, he
would have been blamed. lie won IL,
a L..
RidicuIes Accusation.
"The accusations that are made are
ridiculous when they are investigated.
Take, for example. the charge OF DISC
Incidence of orders in May, 1893. An
attempt has been made to saddle the
responsibility on my father. The fae'
is that he has letter from Admiral
Sampson telling him to do exactly
what he did, and this letter will be
produced at the inquiry. At that tim'
he was maintaining the blockade of
] Cienfuegos. Secretary Long wired Ad

there. Admiral Sampson sent the dis
patch to Admiral Schley with note II
which he said:
"Aflrr duly considering this tele
gram have decidrd to make m
change in the present plans that Is
that you should hold your squadron of
CienfuegOS.
Captain Schlcy declares that this let
ter was suppressed.
Regarding the mancuvers of tn
Brooklyn at the time of the battle CAP
tain Schley says that the facts all e
to show that this was the best NOV
under the circumstances. He think
thai the part played by the Brookly
In the battle certainly compared favor
ably with that of the New York.

WESTERN CANADA'S DECEM-
BER WEATHER EQUAL TO
THAT OF MAY IN MIN
NESOTA.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Thomas Regain and c. Collins. OF
Eden Valley, Minnesota. went out TO
Western Canada last Dece mber as dele
gates, 10 look over the grazing and
grain lands that are being offered at
such low prices and reasonable terms.
This is what they say:
''WearriNed in Calgary about the goth
December and although we had left
winter in Minnesota and Manitoba.
we were surprised TO find beautiful
warm weather at this poiu quite equal
TO what we have in May in Minnesota.
There was no snow nor trace of winter
TO be seen, and the climate was really
splendid Horses, cattle and sheep
were running out. in prime condition,
with plenty OF feed on the prairie, and
really better than that of ours stabbed
in the south. We are impressed with
this country as one OF the finest mixed
farming countries we have ever seen.
The immense tracts of fertile lands,
well sheltered and abundantly wa
tered, leave nothing TO be desired.
Leaving Alberta we returned east
and visited the Yorkton district in
Assiniboia. We drove out about ten
miles at this point and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples OF
grain we were able To see. wheat Weld
ing IS bushels, oats 90 bushels. Roots
were also good specimens. From what
we have seen, We have decided TO
throw in Our lot with the Yorktoncrs
satisfied that this part OF the coun-
try will furnish good opportunities
for anyone anxious to make the best
of really good country. Any agent
OF the Canadian Government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere in
the columns Of your paper will give
you full particulars OF the new dis
tricts being opened ont this year in
Assiniboia and skatchewan.
Yours truly.
