done until spring, as cement sidewalks
cannot be laid in freezing weather. Col.

lines, and DR.. Campbells' visit to
South Dakota is for the special pur-
pose of arranging with the severa
Presbyteries of the Synod for evange
listic work among the churches dur
ing the fall and winter season. The

war in which the flag of Spain came
down forever from that island.
The part which the speaker took in
the troubles between Cuba and Spain,
and the United States and Spain, was
outlined briefly, beginning with the
time when President Cleveland, in 1896,
summoned him to Washington and pro-
posed that he go to Havana under the
guise of a consul general to investigate
conditions, the president remarklnB
that he didn't want to go into this
Cuban business bow on CampoS, then
governor general. he considered the best
of the rulers which that island had
had. under Spain, so far as he knew
Weyler he evidently thought the worst
His reconcentrado order, about which
you have heard something, was an ex-
pedient which might be resorted to in
war. War is no game of velvet balls;
but Weyler ordered all those N en- and
women within his lines when he didn't
have anything to feed them with. About
400, 600 were ordered in, and 100000 of
them died. AS I saw the different de-
greeS of starvation and death in those
camps, and such as I hope never to
see again, it seemed to me that it was
Weyler's plan to depopulate the island
and then bring over fresh levees and
repopulate it. After Weyler came
Blanco as captain general; but he ar
rived too late. The matters had gone
to a further extent; the tension had
grown stronger; they threatened my
life, and said they would tie me to j
horses tail and drag me to death"
Then he described his unexpected meet
ing with General Funston, adding, and
I am sorry that he is not here tonight.
He is a good and gallant officer"
He discussed the Maine incident at
length. No one knows who blew her up.
/ don't believe that Blanco and the
Spanish authorities had anything more
to do with blowing her up than / had.
But perhaps it was some of those young
officers left in the arSenalS by Weyler."
Then there was rapid survey of the
events leading directly to the war. For
an appropriation for that war the south
ern represent natives voted with as much
unanimity as those of the north. The war
with Spain brought about two great re-
suits: one was that it brought the men
of the two sections together and produc-
ed harmonious relationship. And if to
any one person more than any other we
are indebted for this. it is our late be-
loved President Mckinley, whose heart
was stilled, who was murdered by the
bandaged hand of an assassin. The sec
ond result of the war was that 1t taught
US and other countries what a great.
grand and growing nation we are We
have a great, good, common country
We are contesting for supremacy on the
seas, and our reign in the future, let US
hope, will be one of peace as eternal

would arouse. Since then it has been
discussed in a majority of the leading
newspapers of the state. The HoltOn
Recorder makes this unique comment on
the subject: There is a whole lot of
