TiiK government has offered $300,000.- 000 of the new loan for popular sub scription and made every post office and depository of the government an agent for sale of the bonds. They are issued as low as S2O, and the response of the people in eyery section of the country warrants the belief that before the 14th of July much more than the $300,000,- 000 offered will be taken entirely by subscriptions not exceeding $->OO each. WAR RECORD On Saturday it was reported that Ad miral Caniara's fleet of twenty vessels had again gone to sea with sealed orders attacked the Spaniards, and were re ported to have 2,500 prisoners in their possession. On Monday Gen, Shafter s army on transports arrived off Santiago de Cuba; Shafter had a conference with Samp son, and arranged for the landing of the troops. Blanco refused to exchange Hobson and his men. In Manila the rebel chief had cap tured two more towns, and was report ed to hold 5000 prisoners. The Spain ards were driven within the walls of the old city. The- American troops were hourly ex pected. Aguinaldo bad proclaimed a provisional government- On Tuesday Gen. Oarcis of the Cu ban army had a conference with Gen. i Shafter and Admiral Sampson, and | Gen Garcia's plans tor the campaign on land with tome slight modifications were adopted Gen. Shafter expects to have the city at bis mercy within a week. The sec ond division, composed of the Twenty second. Fourth, Fifth, Twelfth, Seyenth and Seventeenth regulars and Second Massachusetts, selected to make the first important landing. After the conference Shafter and Sampeoin re turned to their boat between two lines of Garcia's coat lew and shoeless veterans, who presented arms in true military fashion as the officers passed. Yesterday troops were being landed near Santiago, and our squadron shelled the Spanish batteries. It will require several days to land all the troops Death of Judge Wlckham. John J Wickham, a member of the Superior Court of the State died at his residence in Beaver last Saturday noon, aged 54 years His death was caused by over exer tion at a fire. A week previous his home was struck by lightning, and dur ing the fire that followed he so over heated himself as to bring about a hem orrhage of the stomach, which caused Kin rlnnlh ■ He was serving his second term as Judge of Beaver Co., when the act creating the Sujrreme Court became a law, and Gov. Hasting* appointed him one of its menity TS. His death makes a vacancy on the Superior Bench which Gov. Hastings must fill by appointment before Sept. Ist —the appointee to hold the office till January Ist 1899 1 he Republican State Committee will, under the rules, make the nomination for his successor; and the Democrats will probably norninatea man at Altoonn next Wednesday. If the Governor ap points a man to fill this vacancy who now holds a commission as Judge such ap]K>intnient, if accepted, will create a local vacancy to be filled, first by ap pointment, and afterwards by election, with the necessary primary preceeding. We understand that there will be an applicant or two from Butler. WASHINGTON. On Friday last the President appoint ed Win. Garvin, P. M at Ogle, and A 11. Lehnerd P. M at St Joe. On Monday the debate on the Hawai ian question began in the Senate. Itep. ShowalUr recommended Rebec ca A Allen for P. M. at Glenora Hon T. W. Phillips was in Washing ton, Tuesday, and the general iui presaion there was that the President would ask Mr. Philips to accept a mem bership on the commission, which he will be called upon to appoint in a few days, to consider questions affecting la bor and capital, as authorized by the Philips la lor commission bill. It is also probable that Mr. Philips may be named for chairman of the commission, especially as the enactment of the necessary legislation into law was due solely to his investigation and energy. Mr. Philips is not urging his claims for the place and has no one to work in his behalf, but he is regarded as especially fit for it. The indications are that the president will have hundreds of candidates ask ing for the nine places that he has at his disposal. The saleries are per annum. Ho far as known all the labor organizations will have candidates for the places. Ex-Representative Farquhar of Bnffalo, an old printer, wants to represent the printers on the Commissions, as does also John L. Ken nedy, the Washington correspondent of the I)ayton Journal and Louisville Commercial. Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, the refornior, is also said to Is* a candi date. .liicksvllle.

In fact, the entrance to the outer harbor is difficult to locate, and would be almost impossible hut for pe culiarities of topographical outline and the fortifications that loom up against the hillside. Santiago City, generally known as "Cuba to the native- 1 lies at the farther extremity of the inner bay on its right bank, consequently i not at all visible from the sea Dirty autl ■j.jUAliJ foi the most part, with ill kept streets and dilapidated dwellings, it. nevertheless, is most attractive when viewed from the water front and at a distance; the yellow and blue houses literarly rise from the water's edge, ex tending almost to the summit of a bill that, but for a dwarfing effect produced by the hazel blue peaks that encompass both valley and bay. would be termed a mountain. Indeed, the shores of the harbor are almost uniformly high and rugged, beintr merely the foothills and spurs of the Sierras. As a military and naval station. Santiago dates from 1514. when Diego Velasquez here founded a settlement and erected rude defenses for its protec tion Thus, after Baracoa. Santiago is the oldest city in Cnba. and for more than two centuries enjoyed the distinc tion of being the capital of the island. In 1558 it was raided by the French and the fortifications in part destroyed. Ten years later a new series of defenses were undertaken, that in 1663 65 were replaced the obsolete brick, stone Castle, and Estrella, Punta Gorda and Santa Catalina batteries Of later date are batteries A<,uadoros and Blan ca—the one an outlying defense to Morro, the latter occupying the place of the ancient artillery barracks just be low the city—and the fortress of La Zocapa ior Socapa). Of still later date are water batteries on Isla de Smith, where the lower bay debouches into the narrow gut that ccnnects ii with the Caribbean Sea. Morro, which is practically a dupli cate, though on a slight re duced scale of the castle of the same name that guards tbe entrance of Havana, is perched high upon th* cliff that at the i right hand entrance of the harbor forms Morillo Point Its ancient crumbling look and weather-beaten and discolored walls cause it to have the appearance of I being ready to topple into tbe waves | below; but for all, it is stronger and more defensible than its eiterior would indicate, and the least salient portions lie beneath the masonry, having been excavated from solid rock. It will be recalled this structure once held the cells, offices and torture chambers of the In'juistion at tne tinje when the "Holy Office" assumed to be arbiter of the destinies of all Spanish America. How far the Morro and its sister and outlying fortifications have been strengthened in order to meet the exig encies of modern warfare, and special ly of the present conflict, is chiefly a matter of conjuncture, and it is not safe to rely too much upon the indolent hab its and procrastinating traits of the Hispano- Latin race Diagonally across the outer entrance of the harbor, to the west of Morro, and exactly opposite to the fortress of Santa Cataiina on Canones Point, stands the castle of La Zocapa Here is the narrowest part of the channel, there not being more than 120 yards between the opposing shores. By a glance at the haabor plan, it is possible to more fnlly realize the nature of the defences of Santiago, remembering also that the sitntes the strongest portion thereof, being such as to defy any inproveni«ut at the hands of xnan beyond fortifica tions and armament. The hostile ves sel that essays Santiago Harbor is not only subjected to the fire of Morro and the water batteries below and behind to the east of this castle, bnt must like wine rnn the gauntlet of th" Estrella, •Santa Catalina and Zocapa; farther, from the moment she is well inside Morillo Point she is subjected to fin en filading fire from I'unta Oorda, an or de»l that is supplemented by a like fire from Isla de Smith as soon as the nar rowest part of the channel is reached. At present thU gut i« additionally de fended by the Spanish warship#. A'luiir al Cervera having manifestly taken an advantageous position with this view. Presuming, however, all these obstruc tions and dangers are safely encount ered awl passed. to reach the city there still remains to l«o forced the second narrow channel, only about double the width of that guarded by Morro and Zocapa, et al., in order to enter the np l«*r bay. Guarding the Jupper end of this channel is Itat Island tlsla de lta tones), now believed to l>e well defend ed by modern earthworks; and the bat tery on Punta (lorda has again to be considered, for if It ha* not been com pletely silenc*d, it is still capable of de livering an enfilading fire, and over the stem, instead of over the bow as before, of the foe. Again, certain charts indi cate that in the vicinity of Itat Island the only navigable channel in certain spot* shoals to U4 feet, which is prohibi tive to the passage of battle shin* and the heavier class of cruiser*, which re quire feet. Thus Santiago is eminently fittod by nature to be a western Gibraltar. Prop erly fortified and defended, the harbor conld defy any attack from the seaward; and to the landward the rugged charac ters of the hills and mountains are such as to offer almost unparalleled ad van tages for either offensive or defensive operations. Unt since the early history or the province of Santiago, no meas ures have ever l**« n taken to defend its capital city and chief seaport from the rear, except those of temiiorary and flimsy character that have beet) neces sitaied by the raids of insurgents In the light of the foregoing, the feat of Lieut Mobson, in blockading the lower bay of Santiago, by sinking the collier "Merritnae in the narrowest part of the channel, between Santa Cat alina and ha Zocapa. acquires new in terest and further evidences the act was of a more daring and difficult nature than has generally ls-«-ii imagined It is evident the strongest battleships could hardly hope to i,scape scathless under the ttre of the fortresses with all the advantages of elevation and lis many batteries, to say nothing of the Spanish fleet, not even if all the guns employed by the foe are of an obsolete type and comparatively deficient nene trillion That the "Merrimac" ami her volunteer crew suffered so little from the batteries must be ascribed first, to surprise, and, second, to the distraction afforded by the fire of the United States squadron To surely and certainly igjr form the task set demanded a cool head, insouciance to surroundings, and dog ged persistence, since the enterprise was of the nature of a naval forlorn hope. The results to the country in practically, and for the present, at leant disposing of the Spanish flfret as regards future offensive operations in western waters, arc incalculable.

The House haying? under consideration the annexation of the Hawaiian islands Rep. Showalter spoke in favor of it. and after ijaoting historical pre cedents and naval authorities concln ded as follows. From the coast of Japan and China to the Golden <*ate from Alaska to the equator, there is bnt one place in the Pacific where food, water and coal can be obtained; that place is Hawaii The roads of the Pacific with Hawaii are ours, our Pacific coast can be protected easier than without them. It has been repeat edly officially stated by naval authors ties that the trans-Pacific countries and islands, with the exception of Hawaii, are so far distant from the American coast that unless the ships of such na tions can reeoal at Hawaii it is impossi ble for them to get to our coast for effective military operations It' this is true —and who is there to deny it ■ | does not common sense dictate to ns to possess, them to close Hawaii to them all. and thus make our Pacific coast un assailable? It is evident to everyone that the Hawaiians are unable to maintain themselves against any foreign power They are weak and helpless. They are a tempting bait to the nations of tne Old World. Let ns remove this tempt ing t>ait Let ns do it for our own pro t .ction. for the protection of a helpless friendly power, and for the protection of tbe future peace of the world. The i>ossession of these islands has now become it millitary necessity; we need thein-in our business Th< flag of the Republic now waves over Cavite, in the harbor of Manila. The unpara! I leled victory of Commodore Dewey and his gallant officers and men has made plain our duty. We owe it to these dauntless American heroes whose bravery. courage, and skill have added luster to wir fiat? and imperishable lien or. glory, and fame to the American Navy, to at once annex these island- We owe it to the Government at Hono lulu, that steadily proven its friend ship and his thrown itself "liable for heavey damages by thus breaking the laws of neutrality to annex them and thus secure and protect them It would l* 4 an a«*T of £ru*T-TOTa** l I one the America people would never condone should we refuse to do so Mr. Speaker, faom the day that our noble battleship with her 266 brave sea man went down tv, death in the dark, sullen, and mysterious waters of Hav ana Harbor, victims of cruel, treacher ous Spanish hatred. I kpew. every one who felt the public pnlse knew, that nothing but armed intervention in the affairs of Cuba to the end that the strug gling patriots fighting for liberty and independence should triumph, would appease the just and awful wrath of an aroused, awakened American consci ence. Mr. Speaker, we have entered ! upon a war for humanity the most holy war ever waged. We have enter ed upon a struggle to rescue and succor , starving childhood and outraged | womanhood, over 300,0(j0 of wnose I starved an 4 outraged bsdios have en riched the "oil of Caba in thu Ja.t tbrve years. That we did right every liberty lov ing. patriotic citizen believes. We ex pected no recompense except the ap- I proval of of our own conscience and the | smiles of an approving God. That we nr.. to be recompensed by theacqnistiou of valuable terrtto.F ii. UOV apparent. That the results of this war will be of inestimable value to us as a nation is now a certainty. That it will result in a wider, fuller, and better knowledge of us and onr institutions by the civili zed nations of tbe world is also a cer tainy. When we ha/C fought thi j war to a glorious finish and the Star® and Stripes waye proudly over Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii' and the Philippines, let us build a navy that will have no equal upon the seas. Let ur take our place as the greatest maritime, power upon the earth. Let us foster our merchant mar ine, our shipbuilding interests, until their numbers become as conntless as thi; stars in the blue vault of heaven, i sailing every and t »t::ii;ax!di ng the commerce of every zone. Let us build the Niearaguan Canal connecting the Atlantic and Pacific which will unite nations of the Western Hemisphere in one indissoluble bond of commercial and trade relations, giving us the supremacy not only in the trade of these conntrcs bat also in (he trade with and the countries of th<- Orient How iiw«wnji it ''econtes then, from a trade j>oint of view that we should own the Hawaiian Islands, that this "crossroads of the Pacific should belong to America, that onr ships their long voyages across the Pacific a howd harbor, where all their ueces sities may be mpoliod and whw they may be welcomed under tbe Ktai* and Stripes. Mr. Speaker, the guns of the intm >r tal Dewey and his brave men have boomed in the dawning of a new day, when American ideas, American civiliz ation and Commerce, arid American Christianity shall permeate and influence every section of this old eai th of onn and v/ij| hasten the coming of that glad day yet hidden '.i. the .vnnib of time, to which faith looks forward with ardent joy, when war shall be no more when one law shall bind all nation- tongues, and creeds, and that !..w shall be the law of universal brotherhood It ctter Than Gold.
