the party generally, may be called be-

approval of the plan do not care to

means capture the Endorsement of the
informal convention it would be a

SECRETARY TAFT MUST BE
SHOWN BY OCTOBER.
High Department Official Sees No Rea-
son Why Facts and Figures Should
Not Convince Chief that Enlarge
ment Of Post Is Of Prime Importance.

Whether Fort Smelling shall be ad-s

gether on the showing the people of
Minneapolis and st. Paul make to Sec
rotary of War Taft when he visits the
post next October. Congressman Stew
ems Of the fourth district has long.
urged the enlargement Of the post, and
ialtho action toward that end has not
been taken, the matter has not been r. :,
revocably settled against it. This is
confirmed in dispatches from T h Q

under date of Yesterday, and the au-
.t1hority is a high official Of the war
department. 8 Z, NJ. s.g. Z,

should get together between now and
the time Secretary Taft makes his west

must gather facts and figures and con
vince him that the enlargement Of Fort
Smelling to brigade post can be
brought about at comparatively small
expense. No additional land will be
needed, but more buildings must be
provided. ~.r. ri, s. ~ @,s-
"Fort Smelling is, to my mind, an
view, for a large army post, Trans;

otherwise it is place for stationing
a large force Of men. If Secretary Taft
can be convinced Of this, have no
doubt that Smelling will be made a bri-
gade post. It is in a fair way Of being
that now, with a whole regiment of in
fantry, four troops Of cavalry, and two
batteries Of artillery. The addition; of
several troops Of cavalry and batteries
Of artillery will make it what the peo-
pie Of that locality desire"

Quartermaster General Humphrey has
prepared plan for the allotment of
funds carried in various appropriation
bills for military purposes, details of
which will probably be announced next
week. Fort Smelling is we'll cared for,

A Debt Of Gratitude That This Coun-
try Owes to Spain.
During the summer Of 1776 Captain
John Lee Of Nlarblehead, cruising IN
der a commission from congress-, hav-
ing taken and sent home i've valuable
prizes, entered tile port Of Bilbao IN
Spain. The captains Of two Of his
prizes and part Of their crews were
on board. These officers Immediately
protested against their capture and had
Captain Lee arrested OH charge OF
piracy. The local authorities sent the
documents in the case to Madrid, to-
gether with the commission granted
by this new and unknown power.
In the decision of the Spanish min
istry depended not alone the fate OF
Captain Lee, but whether some OF the
most important ports in Europe should
be opened Or closed to American crui-
sers and privateers. The English min
lister in Spain brought ali his influence
to bear against Captain Lee. at this
moment the Declaration Of the Fourth
Of July reached Madrid. The complaint
against Captain Lee was dismissed,
supplies for his ship and aid in repair
ing it were furnished, and public dec
laration was made that in Spanish ports
the new flag Of America was as free
and as welcome as was the flag OF Eng.
land.
Spain, like France, also helped the
United States with 100000 francs
and with cargoes Of military stores.-
