Camara probably is a believer in
the doctrine that "turn about in fair
play." Wevi.kk now finds himself in the
position of the man who is sorry he
urn ike.
Tiik Nation's day of lliank.-givinj:
and prayer proved that the Nation still
liaa faith in the God of Battles.
Ik tiik annexation of Hawaii le, in
truth, iiuterialism, Cncle Hani tnu
btand Htme niore of that article.
Mils. McKixi.ky, wife of the I'resi
dent, lias given a leautiful regimental
flag to the First ICegiment I'. 8. V.
Cavalry.
The prize boats now being captured
by Uncle Sam will lind a ready bale
for the 8a!t River service to be opened
immediately after the fall elections.
It appears that Wanamaker and his
lieutenants have decided not to put up
an independent State ticket, but wiil
continue their fight for the Legisla
ture. The wheat crop this year may not
eual that of ls!)7, but with good prices
the farmers will have reason to con
tinue their rejoicing over the new era
of prosperity.
The Maine was remembered when
the Cervera fleet was sent to the bot
tom. But for the great crime in Ha
vana harbor there would probably be
do war at this time.
The Fourth wa celebrated with
enthusiasm at Manila, and before the
day was over Dewey probably picked
up another giinlxiut or two to add to
the interest of the occasion.
The first thip- loads of troops have
arrived at Manila harUir. They are
not "iinerialisls," but patriotic Amer
ican citizens, who believe that the fruits
of victory should not be thrown away.
Spanish honor may be defined as
"living on the productions of others
without giving an equivalent." A wil
lingness to die rather than turreuder
that privilege constitutes Spanish chiv
alry. Tiik' farmers of,the West have sub
scribed free! to the new Government
loan. They have seen General Pros
perity and will notice that it took a Re
publican administration to bring him
to the front.
After the American flag was hoist
ed on the blufl" near Guantanamc, the
next thing set up was a United States
post-oflice. The Government will le
collecting box rents all over Cut
within a short time.
A Spanish soldier who was about
to be captured at Guantanamo in des
peration banged himself with his coun
try's flag. Having made up his mind
to die, the unfortunate man evidently
courted the very worst form of death
available.
The terrible disaster of the Bour
gogne's wreck for the time overshad
owed even the war news. One feature
of the tragedy which stands out in
dark contrast with the tales of heroism
so familiar now to the public, is the
brutality betrayed in the cowardly eif
ishncssof many on the doomed steam
ship. Governor Hastings, in addressing
the troops of th Pennsylvania Na
tional Guard, told the men that if they
were so situated that they could do so,
they should enlist, but "if the accumu
lations or savings of a man's industry
and thrift are to be swept away, if those
dependent upon him will suffer by his
enlistment, it is his patriotic duty to re
main at home and care fr them, and
no citizen or soldier w ill dare raise a
hand or voice against his loyalty or his
patriotism."
What we have honestly gained, that
may we justly and fairly hoid. Be
cause possesxious have come to us by
the fortunes of war, it does not follow
that this deserves to be ca'led a war of
conquest" As for the scare of "impe
rialism," it is as futile on the real bear
iugs of the question us Spain's phan
tom fleets on our coasts. It is easier to
call names than to prove arguments,
and an apt phrase can uot, by any in
genuity, be made to take the place of a
stubborn fact.
Republican State Chairman F.lkin
has called a meet in; of the State com
mittee, to be held Tuesday, July 19, at
2 p. m., to nominate a candidate for
Judge of the Superior Court, to succeed
the late Judge Wickbaru. Under the
rules of the Republican State organiza
tion the State committee has power to
make nominations to fill vacanci cre
ated by death, resignation or oilier
causes, after a convention has been
held. There appears to te only one
candidate for the place on the ticket,
Judge V. D. Porter, of Allegheny,
whom Governor Hastings has appoint
ed to the vacant seat on the Superior
Court bench, with the assurance that
the State committee will nominate him.
Op course the demonstration against
the Spanish coast cities by the Ameri
can navy does not contemplate an act
ual invasion, or even a formal occupa
tion of any of its ports. For either of
: these purpose a large army would be
necessary, an J no army will be sent.
Much damage can be done to Spain
physically and morally, especially mor
ally, without landing a single Ameri
can soldier in the peninsula. The
squadron which report says ia to be
sent over can probably batter down the
defences of half a dozen of the princi
pal ports of Spain, and bombard the
cities. The smashing of the fortifica
tions at even one Dort would be a seri-
oua blow to Spain's prestige, and would
be likely to raise such a popular storm
against the authorities as would upset
the dynasty. One of the first couse
ouenees of the departure of an Ameri
can flt for Spain would be the swift
return of Camara to Cadiz or some
other Spanish port, in which event he
would stand a chance to be bottled up
like Cervera at Santiago. This would
lie literally "eirryiug the war into Af
rica." The grim presence of war was
brought forcibly to the attention of the
people of this town and county on Sat
urday last, when a volunteer company
numbering one hundred and six sturdy
young men left for Chickamauga, Ga.,
where they have already entered uikiu
the stern realities of army life, and
where they will prepare themselves to
invade a strange country and make
battle against a foreign foe. With few
exceptions the company was made up
entirely of Somerset county youths,
some of whom had been taught lessons
of patriotism in the schools provided
by Pennsylvania for the fatherless
children of her soldiers; others had
imbibed the heroic spirit from their
veteran fathers who fought for the pres
ervation of the Uuion, and returned to
their homes to enjoy the ruiU of vic
tory and witness the marvelous prog
ress of the Nation they had saved from
destruction; while all were imbued
with that love of country which has
ever eharacterid the American peo
ple. It was a glorious sight to behfild
thi body of heroic young men leaving
their various avocations and severing
sacred home tier, i-esnlved, if neces
sary, to imperil health au-l sacrifice life
at the call of duty. Strong of limb, of
marked intelligence, and conscious of
the iierils liefore them, they marched
away to defend the Flag with an eager
ness that will redound to their glory
forever hereafter.
The action of the Senate last week
in passing the resolution providing for
the annexation of the Hawaiian Isl
ands seems to have created no excite
ment in Europe. The war with Spain
and what may grow out of it seem to
ie sulHcieut at present to engage the at
tention of the Europeans, so far ca the
Un'ted States are concerned. A few
years ago it was looked at in a different
way. About the time Mr. Cleveland
and his agent Paramount Blount
were engaged in trying to support Lili-
uokalaui there was such a display of
hysterics in some quarters that it was
hinted war might be looked for in a
short time. The opponents of annexa
tion were sure that England, Germany,
France and several other nations would
never permit such a step, and that if it
were attempted, foreign fleets might be
expected in a few week9 to be hammer
ing San Francisco to pieces, and doing
other disagreeable things. The matter
hung fire, and now it has been practi
cally accomplished without firing a
gun. Taking an island or two is uot
such a serious business as it once was.
The Charleston on the way to Mat'ila
gobbled up a small garrinou in the La-
crone Islauds, and, so lr as is known,
the sleep of the German Emperor was
uot disiarbed for one night. John Bull
is as serene as ne was, and France is
buying American goods just as before,
and seems far more concerned about
the fall in Spanish securities than she
is about Hawaii.
The truth is, Europeans have some
thing more important now to think
about than trying to frighten the peo
ple of the United States. Since May
1st they have been thinking, that per
haps, it may uot be such an easy mat"
ter, after all, to frighten us. Hawaii
might have been annexed years ago
with ease. If it had been, the condi
tion of the islands would now be vast
ly improved. In a few years it will be
seen what the introduction of Artier!-
can capital and the application of
American methods will mean. The
first thing thing to do is to build a
cable line from San Francisco to Manila
via Honolulu. Great changes are com
ing. Ifex-CJueen 1AI will take a for
eign trip lasting a year or so she will
not know her old home when she re
turns.
Strange Bedfellows.
Pltuliurg Lender.
Strange rumors are afloat with reference
to the prospect of an alliance between tbe
Democratic forces supporting the candi
dacy of Hon. George A. Jenks for Gov
ernor and tbe Ihmaelite Republican fac
tion which travels under the banner of
that saintly personage, Hon. John Wan
aojaker. Mr. Wanamaker, it will be re
called, made violent endeavors to break
into the Altoona convention with Judge
tiordon, of Philadelphia, as his repre
sentative and chosen candidate. Asso
ciated with htm in support of Gordon
was David Martin, tbe Philadelphia ring
master, and tbe influence of tbe Hastings
clique at Uarrisburg was also brought to
bear in the same cause. Judge Gordon
did not conceal the nature of his backing
from the leaders of his party. On the
contrary, he informed a conference of
Democratic inanag'TS that with Wana
maker and Martin and a promised cam
paign contribution of goodly dimensions
behind biin, be was iu a position to make
a lietter campaign than any other candi
date in the field, and on tlieae grounds he
literally demanded that the nomination
lie given him. Judge Gordon having
been brushed aside by the Altoona con
vection, it was taken for granted tbat the
advances of the Wanamaker aggregation
to the Democracy were at ad end. That,
under any cirouniataccei, the Jen ks peo
ple would contemplate an alliance with a
Republican faction of malodorous record
was not dreamed of by tbe average ob
server of State polities. Now, however,
it i impoMsible to disregard the gomup
which U in circulation, and when it is
learned fnnu Democratic sources tbat
such an alliance has been suggested and
seriously weighed and measured, with a
pnwihiliiy of its becoming an acooin
.iiI.t il fact, there is manifest reason for
prudent Democrats to be on their guard.
From a Republican point of view, it
will be a blessing if Mr. Jenks, Wuoae
personality and public record make his
candidacy respectable, if not formidable,
should take upon his shoulders the bur
den of Wsnaruakerisua and all that VYan
aruakerimn implies. Should he do this,
one of tbe first results will be to drive
hack into tbe Republican rank or to di
vert into the ranks of Ute Swallow people
most of the Republican malcontents who
have lieen promising to support the Dem
ocratic tickeL The number of Republi
cans, whatever their grounds of dmsati
faclion, tbat could be persuaded to follow
John Wanamaker anywhere in bis selfish
wild goose chase after honors which the
people steadfastly refuse to accord him ia
wofally small. Then, again, any deal by
virtue of which Democratic support is
pledged to Mr. Wanamaker for United
States Senator is bojnd to alienate tbe
sympathies of numerous right-thinking
Democrat from their party ticket.
If Mr. Jenks and Mr. Wanamaker are
to go Into partnership, it is superfluous to
predict tbat they will go down together
with a crash permanently ruinous to both, '

GOING TO SMASH CAHARA.
Washington', D. G, July 12
the War Department this morning:
Play a pel Este, via Ilayti, July 12.
"Adjutant General, Washington,
" Headquarters First Army Corps :
"It has been very quiet; but little fighting. A flag of truce up
since 2 o'clock ; considering proposition for surrender, now that I have
town surrounded on the north. Line completed at 5 p. m. by General
Ludlow, right down to the bay. The line is rather thin, but will have it
strengthened in the morning by Gen.
headquarters.
" Only three or four casualties ; no one killed as far as I can
learn. Expect to have two of the new batteries in position to morrow.
Great deal of Buffering among the people who have gone out of Santi
ago. Am doing my best to relieve it, but not entirely successful.
Army officers commenting
that it evidently foreshadows the end,' which will be unconditional sur
render of the town. As the dispatch was undoubtedly sent yesterday,
some officers believe the city has already surrendered.
All doubt as to the sailing
Spain was removed this morning when naval orders were announced
and all officers under orders to the new squadron were ordered to re
port without delay.
The official announcement places the Massachusetts in the squadron
in place of the Iowa. A naval officer said that the squadron would sail
on Wednesday or Thursday.
The olject of the fleet's ojwrations against Spain is to meet and

Late War News.
Sampson's fleet began shelling Santiago
at 9:30 Monday morning, throw.ng sheila
over the ridge protecting the city. The
bombardment lasted for two hours, when
Sbafier reported that the shells were in
effective. The last shot, however, struck
a prominent church in the heart of the
city, which was heavily stored with pow
der and ainuniton, causing a tremendous
explosion. When the war ships ceased
firing and before a land attack waa begun,
a flag of truce was seen coming from the
city. The object of this waa not known
Monday night.
The Madrid correspondent of the Lon
don Times telegraphed this Tuesday
morning: "The cabinet resigned in con
sequence of irreconcilable difference of
opinion of initiating peace negotiations."
The Board of Inquiry appointed to ex
amine the wrecks of the Spanish ships
reports tbat only one ship, the Maria Ter
esa, former flagship of Cervera. can be
saved.
The Xavy Department was advised
Monday ol the safe arrival of General
Miles at Xantisg, where he held a con-ferei-e
with Slialter and Sampson.
Kn.ui 1 o'clock until dark Sunday after
noon ibe American guns in front of San
red a deadly fire into the Span
ish ranks. The nre from the Spaniards
in the trenches was very weak,

Americans are splendidly fortitTed in the

A ct ble from Madrid asserta that the
Unilea States makes the following de
mands as conditions of peace: First
The possession of Cuba and I'orto Rico,
with a port in the Canaries. Second An
indemnity of about S0,000.10. Third
The rettntion of tbe Philippine as a
guarantee of the payment of the indem
nity. These terms are regarded as im
possible. Admiral Cainara's fleet which sailed
last week for the Philippines and had
euteted the Suez Canal has been ordered
back to Spain.
The surrenderor Santiago was formally
offered by the Spanish commander. Gen.
TorsJ, Saturday, but the conditions at
tached caused a prompt refusal of the of
fer by Gen. Shafter. The negotiations,
however, resulted in extension of the
armistice. Gen. Toral proposed the im
mediate surrender of the city, but insist
ed that his army be permitted to march
away under arms and with flying colors,
and declared that he would fight to the
last ditch unless the conditions were ac
cepted. Gen. Shafter replied that noth
ing but unconditional surrender would
be accepted by him.
Admiral Cervera and his entire staff
and crew, numbering iu all 692 Spanish
prisoners, arrived at Portsmouth, X.
on Sunday, on the big auxiliary cruiser
St. Louis. The officers were on parole
and enjoyed the fall freedom of the ahip.
Tbe greater portion of the prisoners were
clothed in the uniform of Uncle Sam's
sailors. Nearly all of the Spanish sea
men! were naked when captured. Ad
miral Cervera said: "My fleet was the
best ijy country could give, and ray men
were the bravest of any in tbe world. I
am grateful to my conquerors fir the
kindness and consideration shown us."

Brave Uobeon and the men who took
the Merrimac into Santiago channel with
him were exchanged Wednesday, and
are now on the cruisor New York. The
eight American heroes were traded for
14 non-commissioned Spanish officers and
three Spanish lieuteuanta.
The place selected for tbe exchange
m as under a tree between the American
and Spanish lines, two-thirds of a mile
beyond tbe entrenchments occupied by
Colonel Wood's Rough Riders, near Gen
eral Wheeler's headquarters and iu the
centre of the American line.
Tbe American prisoners left tbe Rein
Mercedes Hospital on the outskirts of
Santiago, where they had been confined,
at 45 in the afternoon, in charge of Maj
or Irlea, a Spanish staff officer, who
speaks English perfectly. The prisoners
were conducted to the meeting place on
foot, but were not blindfolded.
Colonel John Jacob Aster and Lieuten
ant Miloy, accompanied by Interpreter
MaeHtro, were iu charge of tbe Spanish
pris'tnen.
COCRTEST or WAhRlORS.
Tbe meeting between Colonel Astor
and Major Irlea was extremely courte
ous, but very formal, and no attempt waa
made by either of them to discuss any
thing but the matter in band. It was
not then later than 4 o'clock, and just as
everything was finished, and the two
parties were separating. Major Irlea turn
ed and said, courteously enough, but in a
toue which indicated considerable defi
ance :
"Our understanding is, gentlemen,
that this truce comes to an end at S
o'clock."
Colonel Astor looked at hi watch,
bowed to the Spanish officer without
making a reply, and tben started back
slowly to tbe American linen, with Hob
son and his companions following.
Tbe meeting of tbe two parties and the
exchange of prisoners had taken place in
full view of both the American and
Spanish soldiers waa were entrenched
near tbe meeting place, and the keenest
interest was Uken in the episode.

At this time, when to the yet irean re
membrance of the unprecedented success
which attended the operations of tbe
United States fleet in the Bay ofManila
on the first day of May last are addnd
the tidings of the no less glorious achieve
ments of the naval and military arms or
oir beloved country at anuago uw
Oba, it is fitting that ve should panse,
and, staying the ferling of exultation
that too naturally attends great dee.U
wrought by our countrymen in our coun
try's causa, should reverently bow t-
fore the throne of divine grace and give
devout praise to od, who holdeth tbe
nations in the hollow of His hand and
worketb upon them the marvels of His
high will, and Who has thus far vouch
safed to us the light of His face and led
our brave soldiers and seamen to victory.
I therefore ask the people of the Uuited
States npon next assembling for divine
worship in their respective place of
meeting to offer thanksgiving to Al
mighty God, who, in His inscrutable
ways, now leading our hosts upon the
waters to unscathed triumph, now guid
ing them in a strange land through the
dread shadows of death to success, even
though at a fearful cost; now bearing
them without accident or loss to far dist

and brought nearer the success of the
right and tbe attainment of just and hon
orable peace.
With tbe nation's thanks let there be
mingled the nation's prayers that our
gallant sons may be shielded from harm
alike on the battlefield aud in tbe clash cf
fleet and be spared tbe scourge of suffer

to uphold their country's honor : i nd
withal, let the nation's heart be stilled
with holy awe at the thought of the no

and be filled with compassionate sym

by reason of tbe awful struggle. And
above all, let us pray with earnest fervor
that He, the dispenser of all good, may
speedily remove from us the untold af

to all the domain now ravaged by the
cruel strife the priceless boon of security

Tbe Porte has demanded the recall of
two American missionaries from the
province of Aleppo, on tbe pretext that
their mission for distribution of relief is
likely to cause disturbances. "The sick
man of Eurore," as he is derisively terra
ed, is as unreasonable as his political
health is feeble. As a bright contrast to
his obstinacy and stupidity, the people of
America are acknowledging far aud wide
the beneficence of tho mission of Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters, namely, to relieve
and prevent malaria, rheumatism and
kidney complaint, chronic dysDepsia.con
slipution and liver trouble. The ner-ous,
the weak and tbe infirm derive uuspeaV
atile benefit from its use, and it greatly
mitigates those infirmities specially inci
dent to advancing years. Sleep, appetite,
and a sensation of comfort throughout
the system, ensue npon its use, which
should be regular and persistent. An
early resort to this fine preventive is log
ically suggested to those who seek its aid.

AX OGEAX HORROR.
Tho Traao-Atlantio Steamer La Bourgojnt
Goo Down.
orxa 500 peksoss wiin dows to
DEATH.
Halifax, N. S., July 5. In one i.f the
thick fogs whi-h at this time of the year
hang like a pall over the Grand Batiks
end Sable Island, in the North Atlantic,
occurred on the early morning of July 4,
one of tbe most appalling ocean disasters
in tbe annals of trans-Atlantic commerce,
and, in fact, iu the history of steam-sailing
in the world. Without moment's
warning almost, the great French liner
la ltourgogne, with "Sj souls 011 lioard,
was run down by the iron sailing-ship
Cromartyshire, aud such a terrific hole
was torn in the big steamer's port side
that she sank within half an hour, carry
ing with her to the ocean's bottom over
ouo of her passengers aud crew, while the
Imlance who were not drawn down by the
fearful suction struggled and fought Cat
life until l&l were at length rescued from
death by the crew of the Cromartyshire,
which ship survived the collision.
The story of the fearful disaster from
the few officers and crew w ho were saved
ia yet to be told, but If the words of the
passengers who were dragged aboard tbe
Cromartyshire and later brought into this
port by tbe steamer Grecian, are to lie be
lieved, tbe last few minutes on board the
Bourgogne witnessed some of tbe most
terrible scenes of horror and cruelty that
have blotted tbe history of a civilized
race.
Instead of the heroic discipline which
so often has been the one bright feature
of such awful moments, the crew of the
steamer fought like demons for tbe few
lifeboats and rafts, battering the helpless
passengers away from their only means
of salvation, with the result that the
strong overcame tbe weak, and the list
of one hundred nd sixty-three saved
conlaiued the name of but one woman.
The disaster occurred at 5 o'clock iu tbe
morning of Mouday, July 4, about sixty
miles south of Sable Island, which lies
nearly a hundred miUsoff this port.
The Bourgorgne bad lift New York
lxtind for Havre on the previous Satur
day, while the Cromartyshire was on her
way over from Glasgow.
At first it seemed as if there was some
attempt at discipline. A few of the boats
were swung off and some of the passen
gers allowed to get into them. But ai
the steamer liegan to settle and list to
IHirt, the officers lost control of the crew.
and what was proliably a panic ensued
Passengers and crew fought for the boats
and life-rafts, and it was fight to the
death in itself, while death iu the waters
stared every one in the face. The strong
riattered down the wenk, the women and
children being pushed faraway from tbe
hope of being rescued. Fists, oars and
even knives were used by some of the
demons to keep their places. Tho otiieers
seemed to have lieen powerless before
their own men, and ouly four were saved.
The fijht for life on the decas of the
steamer did not last long, for in a little
more than half an hour she gave a long
lurch to port and went down.
For forty years Dr. Fowler's Extrai-t of
Wild Strawberry has leen curing sum
mer complaint, dysentery, diarrlnca.
bloody flux, pain in tbe stomach, and it
has never yet failed to do everything
claimed for it.
Political Hotel.
How nice! Wanamaker is to help elect
Jenks Goveruor.aud tben Jenks is to help
elect Holy John U. S. Senator. And
what will the people be doing mean
while?
.
'fbroughout the State political mntters
are quiet, so quiet as to lie positively
painful, and, judging from the haste with
which seats iu the Stone bam. wagon are
being taken, it seems likely that when
tne parade starts everybody will be 1 li
the procession except Jenks and Swal
low. Blairsville Courier.
Memliers of the executive committeof
the Honest Government party, ot Phila
delphia, under whose standard Rev. Dr.
Silas C. Swallow is running for Governor,
express great confidence in tbe success of
their candidate at tbe polls in Novemlr
next. Leaders of the movement declare
that there is an overwhelming revolt
against the action of tbe Republican and
Democratic conventions, and tbat there
will be a vote for Swallow that will as
tonish everybody.
.
The Faston Free Press gives this advice
to Republicans: "This is pre-eminently
a year for Repulicans to come together
and support tbeir tickets, state, congres
sional and county. Tbe results of the ad
ministration of President McKinley are
far more important to the people now
than any other question. Supported as i
should be, and as we believe it will be, it
will bring lasting benefits to t' e nation
benefits in which our own great State,
and our own particular section of this
State, will largely participate. Not only
in the matter of the conduct of tbe war,
but of tbe Nation's policy fo tbe future.
is McKinley deserving of heartiest, yes,
unanimous suppor, and to this end Penn
sylvania's voire on election day in No
vember should be heard uneqcivrs-ally
and by a rousing majority, for tbe State
Republican ticket, and by tbe election of
Republican Congressmen."

All the Spanishish naval officers cap
tured by the American fleet are to be con
fined within the limits of tbe naval acad
emy grounds at Annapolis. Tbey will be
placed in tbe quarters vacated by the
American naval officers who left the acad
emy to go into active service, aud will be
treated with the greatest consideration,
having earned the admiration of the Am

tion of cm rage in tbe face of almost inev
itable death. Admiral Cervera, it is ex
pected, will be among the prisoners, who,
in all likelihood, will be given tbe free

A MECHANIC'S VIEWS.
On the Most Important Local Question

Opinions expressed publicly thronirh
this newspaper by people in the commoner
walks of life who live in some distant
State lack the interest which is attach

former have always a suspicious halo
about them which is ahuent in tbe lat

sooner U-lieve the statement of a ma a

u For many years I was afflicted with a

in a sore and spread frommy foot to my

the exception of this sore. I tried a gwat

Irritate the. sore so that I eould hardly
stand the pain. I could not go near the

sent me papers containing testimonials of
cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla, and I told
my husband I woali like to try this med

helped me. I kept on Uking it until my
