Uader the above caption, J. Sterling
Morton has something to say in The
Conservative that will be interesting
just now to a host of Journal readers.
We commend the article to our demo
cratic friends as particularly appropri
ate in the present crisis of their party.
We quote the article entire:
"In a recent number of a Nebraska
newspaper an attempt is mode to give a
history of "fusion" in this state. The
effort is a total failure, howevor, because
the amateur historian sees no difference
between swallowing and being swallow
ed. The populists and democrats in Ala
bama fight each other with savage hat
red. At the recent election in that state
the democrats whipped the populists in
all the counties except seven and in the
state senate there are sixteen democrats
to one populist returned. But in Ne
braska the populists do not war upon
democrats in elections only in nomin
ations. And at Lincoln the other day
the democrats were awarded ono candi
date on the populist stato ticket, thus
going, as a political factor in Nebraska,
to a parity with the silver republican
organization which also had one man
appointed to it.
There was a difference between the
swallower and the swallowee!
There is a big chasm between those
who surrender not an atom of convic
tion, forget not a principle, remain true
and steadfast in adherence to honest
money and force an allianco by which
real democracy is strengthened; and
those intellectually and morally en
feebled place-seeking citizens who sur
render conscience, convictions, princip
les and their traditional faith for the
sake of possible political promotion.
Falsehood and Truth cannot be fused
any more than Ice and Fire. Truth
may permit recusants from error to join
its discinles. History in Nebraska and
all the world over illustrates the eternal
force of truth and the innate feebleness
of error. There is a tremendous distinc
tion between eating and being eaten;
between living as an active, useful
entity and being finely masticated by
the teeth of an adversary who lias per
fect deglutition into a formless, inert,
useless nonentity.
Where is there a democratic party, a
democratic ticket and an affirmation of
the ancient faith of democracy anywhere
in Nebraska?

Army and Cuban Leaders United States

CelBsna Attacked by Spaniards.
Santiago, Cuba, Aug. lC.Trouble
With the Cubans is breeding. Their at
titude is one of sullen hostility toward
Americans. The better class in Cnba
favor the annexation of the island to
the United States and a majority of
the masses is ready and anxious to work
and accept the shelter and protection
afforded by an American protectorate;
but they are influenced by a certain
class of rabid orators and breeders of
sedition and rebellion against anything
smacking of law and order. This in
flammatory class demands and urges
the recognition of Cuba for Cubans and
spurns all offers or suggestions tending
to prosperity under an American pro
tectorate, and excites popular discon
tent. This ii exactly the class that
nnshes itself niostnuto evidence and
whose views and opinions are most
overheard and published.
Their advice to the Cubans is to repu
diate all offers of peace or a cessation of
hostilities anil to look upon an armistice
as an agreement between the United
States and Spain on their own acconnt
and not binding upon the free and in
dependent state of Cuba, whose liberat
ing army not only repudiates pacifica
tiou, .but will ignore the armistice to the
point of continuing towage war and
shooting every Spaniard in the field,
A wild rumor i afloat to the effect
that tBe Cuban army will attack Santi
ago and capture it, to the 'glory of the
Cuban arms, as soon as the' American
garrisouis weakened. This is directly
traceable to the same source.
The influence exerted by such a body
of men against law and order .is formid
able. This hysterical people demand
suppreaskm with an iron had. While
still in embryo this influence js already
felt among certain clAseea i .who tefqse to
work or o serve the government ntitil a
clear statement' of the freedom and in
dependence of their country is made
clear.
A kuowledje of this condition is im
perative to the molding of future policy
and to explainwhatever harsh steps may
be rendered necessary in dealing with'
the insurgents.
Americans and Ccbaas.Confer.
A secret meeting was held last night
at the palace between the commanding
officers of the American army and the
Cuban leaders.. The strictest secrecy
was Maintained but it can be said on
good authority that General Garcia was
present. The meeting lasted an hour
aadahalf. The information obtained
is to the effect that the Cuban situation
was thoroughly reviewed and it was re-,
solved to disband the Cuban arniy and
that the United States should pay the
men off. This involves the expenditure
of 915,000,000, but it is most important
to the prosperity of the island, whose
wealth is entirely agricultural, nobody,
tamer or planter, daring to cultivate
his land while the insurgent bands are
intheneli nudadjbnrniny.

Washington, Aug. 16. The. depart
ment of state has issued the following:
The following dispatch was received
at the department of state at 11:15 p.
m., Aug. 15, from Consul Wildmau,
Hong Kong:
August i says Dewey Inmilianled Manila
Saturday; city surrendered uncondition

The information contained in Consul
Wildman's brief message aroused in
tense interest, but created no surpriso
amoug those officials who received it.
For two or three days news of the fall
of Manila has been expected. The last
dispatches received from Admiral Dewey
and General Merritt indicated that it
was their purpose to force a surrender
sf the city as soon as.possible. -
Confirmed by Dispatch From Madrid.
It is believed that they joined in a
note to General Augusti demanding the
surrender of, Manila, threatening to

acceded to. While no further informa
tion than .that received in Consul Gen
eral Wildman's dispatch has been re
ceived by the administration, it is in a
measure confirmed by a brief dispatch
last night from Madrid.
If the report of General Augusti be
true, and its accuracy is not questioned
here, the probabilities are that official
dispatches will be received by the gov
ernment in a day or two at the latest.

Hoxg Kong, Aug. 10. General Au
gusti, captain general of the Philip
pines, arrived by the Edirserin Augus
ta. He refused to be interviewed and
will say nothing more than that he is
going to Spain at the first opportunity.
It is a significant fact that while the
fastest . German cruiser has brought
General Augusti, sho brings" only a
small package of mail for the German
consul, The consul is now in Canton
and his mail matter remains unopened.
General Augusti's wifo and family ac
company him.
It was rumored hero last night that
Manila had surrendered, but no news
is obtainable from the Spanish consul.
Governor General Augusti refused to
speak. The German consul was called
upon and ho informed the correspond
ent that the outskirts of Manila were
bombarded by the Americans and that
the city surrendered. No damage was
done to the city proper, only the out
skirt being bombarded. The date of'
the bombardment was unknown to the
German consul, who refused to say
more.
General Augusti told a lady that Ad'
piiral Dewey demanded the surrender
of Manila in an hour. The Spaniards
declined to surrender and Dewey be
gan to bombard" and the Spaniards
foisted a white flog. General .'Angnsti
immediately jumped into a German
launch which was in waiting and went
to the Kaiserin Augusta, which sailed
before thebombardmsnt was concluded.
The bombardment occurred on the 13th.

RECONSTRUCTION.
CfoTeramswt
Bnsy Firarlaa; Up In the
. West ladies.
WASHlsaTON', Aug. 16. The recon-
strnction of affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico '
and throughout the Spanish West In-
dies is receiving earnest consideration
in official quarters and at the White j
nnnca thV, nrrcidant saw a number nf !
prominent callers in reference to this
reconstruction in onr new insular de
pendencies. General Fitzhugh Lee
spent some time with he president,
going over the condition of af
fairs. Acting Secretary Allen of the
navy also saw the president concerning
Cuban affairs. It is probable that an
American naval vessel will go.to Ha
vana harbor before long and at least two
naval vessels will be ordered to Havana
when 'the military commission assent-
bles there to determine upon the details -'
of Spanish evacuation,
Secretary Day also conferred with the
president and later determined, the peace
terms being matured, to lake a week's
vacation.- He will leave either tonight
or tomorrow morning, going probably,
to Canton. Assistant Secretary Moore
will be acting secretary of the state de
partment during Judge Day's absence.
The secretary's retirement from the
head of the department is r likely to fob
low soon after his return from Canton
and indeed it may come during his ab
sence, although there was no outward
evidence today that he was, about to
close his connection with state affairs.
The navy department decided dnriug
the day to yield as far as practicable to
the public desire, at New York, for a
naval review of the ships of Admiral
Sampson's fleet. The department will
direct that, upon arrival in New York
harbor, the fleet9 will steam -up the,
North river as far as General Grant's
tomb, fire a salute and steam back to
the anchorage. It is expected that the
fleet will reach New York on Saturday,
the 20th inst.
The plan is to have Admiral Sampson
met off Sandy Hook with"ordcrs for the
procession up the North river. It is ex
pected that the fleet will be off Sandy
Hook sometime Friday night, but they
will be outside the harbor until Satur-'
day morning.
The navy department is taking steps
to reduce the force "of naval militiamen
called into service from the several
states. The Minneapolis is totransfei
part of her crew to the Yo&eniite, thus
releasing the Michigan naval militia
men, who man the Yosemite. The
Columbia is also to transfer her crew tc
the Dixie and other auxiliary craft, thus
'allowing the naval militiamen on these
auxiliary boats to go home. In this way
the naval service will speedily be re
turned into the hands of the regulai
officers and crews.
LAST NAVAL WAR
ENCOUNTER.
Cnshlns About to Aveneo the
Wlaslow
When Stopped.
Key West, Aug. 16. To the torpedo
boat Cushing, commanded by Lieuten
ant Albert Gleaves, will doubtless go
the distinction of having bad the last
naval engagement of the Spanish-American
war.
Had the peace negotiations been pro
tracted a little longer the Cushing
would unquestionably have ended the
conflict by gloriously avenging its be
ginning, when Ensign Bagley and hjs
four .comrades of the Winslow were
killed at Cardenas.
At the very moment the orders for
raising the blockade reached the Cush
ing it was making in for the three Span
ish'gunboats which had wrecked its sis
ter boat, intent on sinking them or itself
in the attempt.. They were the Ligero,
Alerta and Antonio Lopez. A few days
before the Cushing destroyed six small
sloops and a two-masted .schoonor.e
Triumpho, of 25 tons.
Carllst Chiefs Gathering-.
Madrid, Aug. 16. Several bands of
civil guards have been unable to cap
ture the band of Carlists which have
been roaming in Castellon. There have
been several skirmishes, but the Carlists
are protected and sheltered by the in
habitants. The government fears that
the failure to capture these will encour
ageothers. Several Carlist chiefs are
gathering at Bayonne, Aiarritz and
other towns across the French border,
as before the lost war. Carlists letters
are carried now by courier for fear of
their falling into the government's
handnin the moil.

ent are that both women lost their lives
by arsenical poisoning taken iu the

says: General Fitzhugh, Lee will euter

announcement can be made without any
Qualification. It is authorized by Gen.

tated the following statement: Upon
being asked the question as to his future
intentions and appreciating the interest
felt hi tho matter throughout Virginia,
General Lee sold: ''I shall be a candi

GENERAL SCHWAN ATTACKED.
KJeventh Infantry Fired on by Fifteen
Hundred Spaniards.
Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug", 16, Gen
eraf Schwan's column was attacked Sun.
day between Mayaguez and Lares. As
the Eleventh infantry under Colonel
Burke was descending the ..valley of the
Rio Grande they were fired upon from
a hillside by a force of 1,500 Spaniards
who were retreating toward the north.
The fire was returned and the Spaniards
werp repulsed with, it is believed, con-,,
siderable less, : ?&
Colonel Soto, the commander of "the
Mayaguez district, was wounded and
was afterwords overtaken in a wayside
cottage. He was attended by two ser
geants who surrendered, The Amer
icans suffered no loss. The artillery
and cavalry were not engaged.
General Schwan iiad not received
news of the signing of the protocol
when the action occurred, but obtained
it Sunday afternoon. The reports from
General Miles are meager.

Madrid, Aug. 16. The government

countries being practically at peace,
the officials here see no reason why mail

It is well enough for officers to know
the law and obey it, just the same as
other citizens. They have a right to
carry a revolver to protect their persons
in case of emergency, but have no right
to use it in making arrests for mis
demeanor. Should the charge against
the person be, a felony-the case would
be quite different. Then, if the accused
refused to surrender the officer as a last
remedy might shoot Platte County
Democrat. .
The Times, has, from its incipieney,
been as severe upon the tramp nuisance

ant, bnt it is expected to be inferior in
quality, owing to the lateness of the
season and the cool weather of this sum
mer. There is a general complaint that
farming doesn't pay any more, on ac
count of the prices of products, and yet
the farmers give as high as 916 an apre
rental for land.
The price of land has fallen off since
the Franco-Prussian war, one-fourth
to one-third, and yet good farming land
now sells as high as $400 an acre, with
out improvements.
Mr.cStenger says that the events of
the war changed the notions of people
generally there in regard to the fighting
qualities of Uncle Sam's nephews. The'
made fun of our 25,000 army, and our
slim navy. Of course, with them, they
think it takes at least three years' drill
to make any kind of a geod soldier, and
as for our navy it was scarcely worth
mentioning. And our generals, they
hsd had no experience to speak of, and
so on. On the other band, the Spaniards
were great'fightere, and never gave up,
but would fight again and again. Mr.
Stenger pointed them to what the Span
iards had not succeeding in doing with
Cuba, and told hia AJsscean acquaint
ances that he had no doubt about the
result, the United States might have
some reverses, but that, in his opinion,
there could possibly be but one result,
nnd that a complete triumph over Spain.
It is not' at all surprising that the in
cidents of the war have worked a chango
of views in Europe'' concerning the
United States.

CODY DAT AT OMAHA.
Nebraska r'amoas Son Itati-Trdly Honored, j
International and national expositions ;
during the last fifteen years have not !
been considered complete without hav
ing as a supplementary attraction Buf
falo Bill's Wild West and Congress of
Rongh'Biders or the World. Only twp,
the World's Fair at Chicago in 1893 and,
the American Exposition at London in
1887, retained it during the entire 6ix
months they were open, but the Paris
Exposition in 1889 kept it about four
months. , The great .Cotton Exposition
et Atlanta, and the Southepn Exposition
at Nashville, found iu it their greatest
attraction.
August 90th and 31st Colonel Cody
will have his great exposition exhibi
tion at Omaha, and iu honor of this
most famous of Nebraska's sons the
Commissioners of the Truns-Mibsissippi
Exposition have set apart Weducsday,
August 31st, as W. F. Cody Day at the
Exposition. During the day Colonel
Cody and his soldiers from the armies
of Europe and America, aud his Bough
Riders, gathered from live continents,
will be publicly received aadoreviewed
at the Exposition. After the rt-ception
they will parade through the grounds,
thus making the Exposition for that
day the one "supreme attraction iu
America. Red-letter rates will be made
by all the railroads, and Colonel Cody's
friends will pour into Omaha by the
.thousands from all quarters to assist in
doing honor to the man whose home in
Nebraska has in itself made the stato
famous.
A most interesting fact is that Colo-.
nel Cody gave his very first exhibition
of his Wild West upon the same grounds
now occupied by the Exposition.'
Tuesday, August "0th. is " Missouri
Day at the Exposition, and Colonel Cody
and hia exposition will be in Omaha on
thatdey also, so 'that Missourians will
have an opportunity of seeing both tho
Exposition and, Buffalo Bill's greatost
of all exhibitions.
To The Voters of l'latti Comity, Nebraska.
Gentlemen: If the voters at their
respective primaries for the election of
Township officers will nominate tho
Judges and Clerks of Election accord
ing to the statute, Sec. 17, Page 558,
they will confer n great favor upon' me,
and at the same timo avoid any trouble
at the opening of the polls on the morn
iugof election day.
If I interpret the law right, the Demo
crat, Republican and Peoples Indepen
dent parties are each entiUed to ono
Judge of Election, and it the Free Silver
Republicans havo an organization in the
Township, and cast any votes at the last
election, they are entitled to ono Clerk,
and the party in the Township casting
the greatest number of votes is entitled'
to the other Clerk. If there is no Free
Silver organization in. the Township the
party casting the second number of
votes will be entitled to the Clerk.
I hope the electors will make the
nominations of the election boards and
forward tho names and postoffiue ad
dresses to me aa soon as possible after
the caucuses are held.
T. D. Rocirfos', Comity Judge.
