SOME WAR DATES- V
On the '_]."itl\ of February last the
U. S. battleship Maine was blown up
in Havana harbor.
On Marcli the 9th Congress voted
$50,000,000 to he used in strengthen-
ing the army and navy of the Re-
public.
On April the llth President Mc-
recommending that he be gi ren poweri
to to intervene forcibly in Cuba in
behalf of the sufferers from the
condition of things existing on the
Island, “but without recognizing at
this time the independence of the
present insurgent governmentf’
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

I Spain protested against this action,
but failed to secure the assistisnce of
the European powers. 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
with seven ships entered Manila Bays:
attacked and destroyed the Beet of
Admiral Montijo. The Spanish loss
was eleven war vessels. and six or
seven hundred officers and men killed
and wounded. The United States loss
was but six wounded.

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.
