SOME WAR DATES- V

On the '_]."itl\ of February last the

After a week’s debate both houses

of Congress agreed to a resolution declaring Cuba to be free, and de- manding the relinguishment by Spain of her authori y over the Island and the withdra val of her armed forces from Cuban soil and Cuban waters. They also directed' the President to call out the Militia, in addition to t-he

On April 20th President McKinley cabled his ulti- matum to the Madrid government demanding that before noon of the 231-cl Spain should relinquish her au- thority in Cuba and withdraw hen land and naval forces. Senor Polo, the Spanish ambassador, at once de- manded his passports and Mr. Wood- ford, American minister at Madrid, ,was notified that diplomatic relations were broken olf. At this stage the ambassadors of the powers in Wash- ington made formal representations in

On July 3rd after General Shafter had quite surrounded the city, Admiral Cervera, with four cruisers and two torpedo destroyers suddenly emerged from the harbor. They were engaged by _ the United States fleet and quickly destroyed. The Spanish loss in men was several hundred killed and 1300 prisoners, including Ad- miral Cervera. The United States loss was one man killed and two wounded. Santiago was surrendered July 14th, with stipulations that the Spanish army of 22,000 men should be transported to Spain.

On July 25th Major General Miles

landed in Porto Rico and commenced an advance on San Juan, the capital. In the meantime General Merritt with a considerable force had] reached the Bay of Manila. The bombardment and surrender of that city at the time when the protocol of peace had been already signed was the closing act of hostilities.

An interesting bit of news comes

from Scotland to the effect that the only surviving grandson of the poet ‘ Burns, James G. Thompson by name, is living in Crossingloof in poverty.

Col. Hay, United States minister

to Great Britain, has accepted the important post of Secretary of State in President McKinley’s cabinet. Mr Hay stood high in favor in England and his selection .ts head of the state department by the President affords the best evidence that a continuance of the cordial relations now _subsisting between the two countries is desired at Washington.

The St. John Sun, Conservative,

concludes an article on the plebiscite as follows:

A vote in a negative ish statement

that the man who casts the ballot is not in favor of a piohibitory law for this country on any terms or conditions. It amajoriiy of the people who go to the polls vote in that sense, or il compara- tive`y few go to the polls to vote for prohibition, that question will be set at rest for a good many_ years to come. This. would perhaps be a greit relief for many public men,but the possibility ol it is a matter of serious import to thcse who have looked forward to the legal suppression ci the liquor trade.
