(I flew Ultn Review ERNST WICHERSKI, PROPRIETOR W. JOHNSON, EDITOR Wednesday, May 25, 1898. Official paper of the county of Brown The strategy board moves in a mys terious way it wonders to perform. Wonder«how Napoleon or Grant would hke to have been bothered by a strategy board. This country, if it minds its own busi ness, will never be in need of an alliance with any of the grasping powers of Eu rope. f* Attorney Hale of Minneapolis having declined Gov. Clough's offer of a judge ship, the governor has appointed A. M. Harrison, If not Van Saut, then Clough. How does the prospect, now almost a certain ty, strike the promoters of the Mankato conference2 It is to be hoped that the future speak er of the house will never be called upon to say that "the gentleman for the Phil ippines is out of order «_«. The Dewey season opened on the Phil ippines about the beginning of May. In Cuba the wet season is not looked for until the forepart of June. Wm. E. Gladstone, the greatest of inodern statesmen, died earlv Thursday morning. As he lived, so he died, peace ful and majestic to the end. The president continues to honor great men's sons. The latest to receive military commissions are a grandson of Grant and a son of Fitzhugh Lee. The public isn't interested quite so much in knowing who went to school with Dewey back in Vermont, as in the fellows who fought with him at Manila. If Senator Dunn »vas as anxious to have the right prevail as he pretended when he unseated Day, he would resign. The supreme court has given him a strong hint The Ortonville Herald Star "Let's not forget what we are fighting lor" That's an excellent sentiment, and the only pity is that the Herald Stai hasn't a pull with the strategy board. The managers of the Omaha exposi tion will be better off than were those of the World's Fair in that they will not huve to provide for the care and feast ing of played-out Spanish dukes and princesses. Why wouldn't Sampson, Schley and Watson make a good strategy board & If Cervera is to be located, they'll have to do it, and if he's to be crushed, they're the men who will have to attend to the ciuslung. What's the use, then, of a ooard of inteiveuors Premier Sagasta should take lessons from Tom Reed. Tom certainly ought not to have much trouble in finding a way to teach the haughty lecalcitrants of the Spanish cortes their proper place, and of compelling them to keep it. The gifted Uwyei-editois of the St Paul Dispatch and Pioneer Press, who ^ere so fiee -with their legal opinions fining the Dunn-Day contest in the sen ate, have been passed upon by the su ureme court, and the gifted editors are wondering how it came that their pro found legal aiguments failed to make an Tmpression Judging fiom the scaicity of wai news just at present, there aren't any special copyrighted correspondents stand •ng on the bridge of the Flagship New Yoik with Sampson. Dewey may have otimitted it, but then, Dewey was only out on a httle recreation trip. The United States should hold onto the Philippines until the demand for real estate is reasonably strong, and not a bit longer. The policy of conquest is out of harmony with our republican institu tions, a the idea of furnishing good government to every colony that happens to be oppressed involves a tri fie too much expense and annoyance to warrant its being enteitained. Besides, it wasn't included the contract for the emancipation of Cuba. It is recalled as a somewhat remark able coincidence that May 1st, the day on which Dewey sailed into Manila harbor and annihilated the Spanish fleet, wag the day on which Sir Francis Drake, in 1587, with twenty-nine ships, boldly •atered the harbor of Cadiz, silenced the Spanish forts, and destroyed over 100 Spanish vessels designed for the great armada which was soon to sail for the conquest of England. And, like Dewey, Diake, in his splendid achievement, did not lose a ship nor a man.—Duluth Her ald. Events In The Crisis, The Spanish loss during the recent engagement before Cienfuegos is now known to have been very heavy—at least three hundred killed and several hundred woun led. During the engage ment the Marblehead threw 450 shells from "her 5-inch guns and 700 shots from her secondary battery. The Nash ville bred as many more and nearly all took effect upon the Spanish forts and soldiery. A. Washington special to the Herald says. The war department is seriously considering the postponement of the in vasion of Cuba until fall. Lieut. Bbwan, ho has returned from a scouting expe dition, reports that roads in Cuba will be impassable for cavalry and artillery after June 10. Both of the big American fleets, Samp son's and Schley's, put into Key West Wednesday. The two commodores held a consultation and it was rumored that when they put to sea again Schley would take the monitors and small cruiseis to keep the Spaniards out of Havana and Sampson the battleships and large cruis ers to chase the Spanish fleet around the island. Cervera was reported to have entered the port at Santiago de Cuba. The monitor Monterey, now at San Francisco, has been ordered to Manila to reinforce Dewey. The monitor is one of the most formidable fighting vessels afloat. On the 19th Admiral Cervera cabled the Madrid government as follows This morning, without incident, I entered the port of Santiago de Cuba, accompanied by the squadron. A Kingston special to the New York Journal of Saturday says one of Samp son's scouts has captmed a Spanish gun boat. The news was brought to King ston by the captain of the America, who reports having sighted the St. Louis or the St. Paul towing the Spanish warship Thursday afternoon One of Friday's bulletins was to the effect that Gomez was losing in on Ha vana with a force of fifteen thousard men and that Garcia was pressing upon Santiago de Cuba with a corps of 5,000 soldiers. Premier Sagasta declares war to the bitter end as the policy of the new cabi net. Wm. J. Bryan has been commissioned as a colonel by the governor of Nebras ka and will proceed at once to raise a regiment of volunteers. A Madrid correspondent of the Lon don Mail telegraphs his paper the follow ing Governor General Augusti has re affirmed that he will distribute every ri fle and cartridge he possesses and defend Manila to the last. The Oregon was reported at the Bar dadoes Friday. She took on board 200 tons of coal. Advices from Madud by way of Gi braltar say that the Spanish squadron, designed for the Philippines, sailed on Monday. There will be no invasion of Cuba until after a fight with the Spanish fleet. Senor Sagasta, the Spanish premier, has succeeded in organizing a new cabi net. The London Chronicle has the follow ing fiom Madrid "It is believed that a conflictTjetween the Amencan warships and Admiral Cerveia's fleet cannot be deferred long. The new Spanish cabinet desires to force the war to an issue, it is said, with a view to evoking interven tion by the European powers as quickly as possible. The internal economic sit uation of Spam is Known to be desper ate." Spanish bishops at Manila and Hong kong have issued pastorals urging that no quarter be given Americans. In an address before the Canadian Parliament Premier Lanrier made this statement: Though we are bound to be neutral and must be neutral in the pres ent difficulties between the United States and Spain, I would like to believe that if there is a feeling at all apart from our duty as neutrals, it is a feeling of sympathy for those who are our neigh bors and who share the continent with us. Sir Charles Tupper, oppopition leader, expressed entire acquiescence in what the premier had said, and concluded his speech by sayings While we are bound to respect that complete neutrality that has been pro claimed by the parent state in reference to the war between the United States and Spain, nevertheless I feel that we cannot forget the people of Canada, as of Great Britain, are but one branch of the great English-speaking family, and that the interest of peace, the interests of civilization and the interests of the world would be promoted by the most cordial co-operation between the two great nations.
