ONE YEAR SIX MONTHS ..S1.50 ) OUR DUTY. To crime and anarchy in Cuba an end shall be f.pnt, anew republic shall be given place in the galaxy of western re- publics. It is the will ot the greatest of the republics of that proud galaxy and it shall be so. As the oldest, most powerful and most capable of the republics of tht western hemisphere, we have greater re- sponsibility for the conduct of affairs in the new world than any of our sister re- publics. Greatness brings responsibility, and taking foremost place we incur greatest obligations. Having the power to pro- tect the nations of America from foreign oppression and injustice it becomes our duty to exert it that justice may be done. We have been given the strength to prevent crime and injustice in the west- ern hemisphere done in the name of foreign nations, and having the power to prevent crime and oppression we must prevent or etamp ovrselves un- worthy of the possession of that power, that strength. And if we so stamp our- selves our power and ©ur strength and our paramount influence will go from us. Our place and our power makes us the natural protector of the republics of the western world a n d t h e cause of humanity. Able to see that justice is done to our Bister republics, to our [fellow-men by , foreign nations, it is our duty to do so. It is thus that our strength and posi- tion brings us cares and responsibilities that we cannot shun and hold our place as the foremost of American nations, as the most enlightened, progressive and civilized of people. "Army t o t h e Front.** With profound emotion the American people hear again the stern words whose echo last died away in our country 33 years ago this April, "Army to the : front." At this word of command the army of a people whose population num- bers 70,000,000 moves forward to make war on a kingdom whose subjects, count- ing its outlying islands, dependent col- onies and all, number only 25,000,000. Our country is rich and prosperous from • generation of peace, Spain is exhaust- ed to the last few d^bps of her life blood by the savage wars she has been waging to suppress her own revolutionist chil- dren. Yet it is not a war of aggression the powerful country declares against the weak one. In that admirable joint.reso- lution which directed President McKin- ley to send the army and navy to Cuba 'he statement rang out clear and unmis- takable that the United States had no intention or desire toward possessing the island for itself. We seek only the pacification of Ctfba^ and when that is accomplished the will of the American people, expressed through their con- gress, is to leave the government and control of the island to those who be- long there. Neither is ours a war for revenge. Even the awful crime of the blowing up, at the instigation of Spanish officials, of the Maine in the harbor of Havana while on a friendly visit there, a dastardly act by which 260 brave Ameri- can citizens were hurled to death, was not considered by our government suffi- cient reason for making war. "Remem- ber the Maine!" will be the rallying cry of our sea and land soldiers when they meet the enemy, but it is not the casus belli lying behind the thrilling command, "Army to the front!" We have set ourselves right in the eyes of the powers-of Europe,. We have declared we do not want Cuba. We have refrained from taking that just venge- ance for the loss of the Maine to ob- tain which just vengeance no European government would have held back its hand an hour We prepare to drive, the Spaniard from Cuba because his further stay iB a "disyraee to Christian civiliza- tion and eamiot longer be endured. " Oar army moves to the front on a crusade ia/thc name of justice and hu- : inanity. No holier war was ever under- taken, A dozen millions of loyal Amer- icans are at the command of the presi- dent and congress to free Cuba. That done our volunteer army will melt away and rejoin the ranks of the private citi- zens of a peace, loving nation. Spanish war talk is bottist, tne ba^- lall war thus far has naturally liiiew^t broken out hottest. Before the season opened we read the little hand book of etiquette for ba»uball- ers that had been prepared with t::e especial view of making them angelic in their behavior. Now, we thought, oas«- ball grounds will witness scenes of Che.-:- terfieldian deportment. The fun of base- ball games has vanished, we sighed to ourselves. We need not have sighed. At the very first game played by the N e w Y u r k s a t t h e i r o w n h o m e t h i s ;-< a- son pandemonium itself broke IMM.-O The crowd and some of tne players almo attacked the umpire They hooted, they hissed, a playe-r"shook his list and swore awfully and .scamped upon bin own hat in his impotent rage The audience roared at the umpire like 5,000 ravening lions. "Lynch him.!" cried some. "You're a robber!" yelled other:* Finally a happy idea con- centrated all the wrath of both players a n d a u d i e n o in on J word "You're a Spaniard!' Tnat nnithed the umpire. In tne midst of a hail of cushions and other missiles around his ears that un- happy man escaped under the protection of the police. Oh, no! The national game is nqt de- clining any in interest among us. The National Game. We rejoice to li-nd that the war scare faas nut killed inteivst in the great A m e r i c a n g a m e of .btw.-Liali. The season openetl auspicmosly .is juy year suite we can remember.. The National league •naen were-never iii-ore full of vinegar. neither were ? apprecia- tive. The -audience- Themselves wen 'never larger. From s.uOU to 4.0uu spec- tators is by nu means an unusual figure %ven thus early in the season and with everybody's mind fuil of war. The common mind is so full of war indeed that the epidemic has infected the gallant players and their audiences. Even more vigorously than of old do both audiences and players fall upon their common enemy, the umpire. At New York, where, owing to the cavorting of the yellow journals, the It does not appear under the strict construction of the United States con- stitution that the president has power to call the national guard regiments of the states out to leave the country for service in case of a foreign war. The constitution says, "Congress shall have power to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Un- ion, suppress insurrections and repel in- vasions. " Congress by law has given the president the right at any time to call out the militia for the purposes specified. Since nothing is said of the right to order them to t the front in case the armies of the United States were sent to foreign soil the presumption is that the president has not such authori- ty. There is no doubt, however, in the present instance that it will be the pleasure and glory of the national guard regiments to volunteer to help drive Spain from Cuba. The graceful way of offering these gallant services has al- ready been adopted in several instances by the militia tendering their services to the governor of their own state and he in his turn making offer of the regi- ments to the president for the war. This mode of procedure recognizes state rights properly and at the same time in the most desirable way acknowledges the paramount sovereignty of the Unit- ed States. The OTder of the war measure was this: First, congress passed the joint resolu- tion directing President McKinley in the interests of humanity and of civiliza- tion to intervene in the Cuban struggle .and stop the war, authorizing him to use the army and navy of the United States for this purpose. The resolution was Eigned by Speaker Reed of. the house because the house first passed it. Then it was signed by Vice President Hobart. After that it went to the presi- dent, who wrote underneath the other signatures: "Approved April 20, 1898. William McKinley." Next two wit- nesses signed it. Then the document, called the ultimatum, which the presi- dent had already prepared, demanding that Spain should withdraw her forces f r o m Cu,fca a n d g i v i n g her 60 hours to reply to the demand was inclosed with the congressional resolution and sent at once to the Spanish minister, Senor Luis Polo y Bernabe. When he received it, he sent without delay to the state department asking for his passport to leave this country'* I t vvafc i m m e d i a t e l y granted, and he Started for Canada/ there to remain, afi he said, "till Spain whips the United States." Thus diplo matie relations with Spain in the Unit; ed States ceased. Senor Bernabe will have several days to wait. General Shatter Discusses the Pro- posed Expedition to Cuba.

Washington, April 29.—General Wil- liam K. >nafter arrived m Washington from the south today to confer with the army administration in regard to the proposed expedition to Cu v -a to estab- lish a base of supplies on the coast.

NewJYork, April 29.—The three mast- ed American schooner Rebecca W. Hud- dell arrived at City Island today from i St. John, N. B., after a passage of only I 64 hours, thanks to a strong east north- i east wind and being chased by a war* ] ship. Captain Tower reported that on last ! Tuesday morning about 6:30 o'clock, while the schooner was bowling along under half a gale from the east north- east, when about 25 miles southeast of '• Portland, Me., he sighted a large steam | warship, painted black, about eight miles away. He could see that*the war- i ship was putting on full steam while I she was making directly for his vessel. | Every stitch of canvas that she j' would bear was crowded on, to the j schooner, and the chase was kept up j for half an hour without the warship | having made any perceptible gain. I The warship then turned about and ' went off in an east southeast direction. The Rebecca W. Htiddell, which is 244 tons burden, is laden with lumber for Simpson, Clapp & C\o.j and her agents are C. W. Crane & Ca. She stopped at City Island long enough to report and then proceeded to this city. So far as the usages of diplomatic etiquette go Spain has saved a hurt to her vanity by being ahead of the Unit- ed States in breaking'off relations be- tween the two nations. When De Lome wrote that insulting letter concerning President McKinley, which it is now plain was merely a shrewd dodge to get out of a bad situation before the worst came, he was able to cable to Madrid his resignation before this government could request his recall. Again, Minis- ter Polo demanded from the state de- partment at Washington his passport before i|: could be offered to him by Mc- Kinley. For the third time again Spain requested Minister Woodford to with- draw from Madrid before he had oppor- tunity to present the United States ulti- matum. If there is any satisfaction in these little triumphs, Spain may enjoy it to the full. It is not long she will have satisfaction of any kind. GENERAL SHAFTER. also at the conference Lieutenant Colo- nel J. B. Babcock, assistant adjutant general, and Lieutenant R. H. Noble of the First infantry, one of General Shat- ter's military aids. The plans for the first expedition are" practically complete except in details concerning the troops to be landed, tne transportation for them and the equip- ment which is to be provided for them. The point for the landing and for the proposed base has been selected, but for obvious reasons it cannot be pub- lished without treason to the govern- ment. To Land Arms. The expedition has for its first pur- pose the landing of arms, ammunition and articles of material equipment for the insurgent army. As one officer in the war department put it, "It will be the biggest filibuster expedition the Cu- ban insurgents ever received." It is now believed that the expedition will leave Tampa next week. There will be about 5,000 regulars, and suitable uniforms for the .-climate will be provid- ed for them. These uniforms are being made under rush orders. It is generally- understood that Brig- adier General William R. Shafter, now commanding the troops mobilized at New Orieans, will lead the expedition, Which will consist of two divisions. The war department is now waiting to hear from Lieutenant Andrew S. Rowan of the Nineteenth cavalry and Captain James E. Dorst of the Fourth cavalry. Lieutenant Rowan has already effected a landing in Cuba and is believed ere this to have communicated with Gener- al Calixto Garcia the plans for equip- ping the insurgent army. Dorst to Meet Gomez. Captain 'Dorst is nOw at Key West and will immediately start for Cuba, where he will meet General Gomez at the camp of the commander in chief of the Cuban army. There further infor- mation of the plans of this government will be conveyed to the Cuban com- mander. It has been found impossible to equip the Cuban army with the Krag-Jor- gensen rifle now in use in the regular army, as the war department finds that it will need all the rifles of that type for our own troops. There are on hand, however, plenty of Winchester and Remington rifles, which many prefer to the Krag-Jorgensen, and these will be sent. Accompanying the infantry will be some light batteries and machine guns. She troops will make a landing. under the .protection of the guns of the block- ading squadron. General Gomez and General Garcia will have troops hear by to meet them, it is expected. Mexico Strictly Neutral. City of Mexico, April 29.—United States Minister Clayton has communicated to the foreign department of t h e govern- ment of Mexico the resolution of the American congress declaring war with Spain. Minister Mariscal of the foreign department has replied, lamenting the war and hoping for its speedy termina- tion. He assures the American minister on the authority of President Diaz that Mexico will maintain the strictest neu- \ trality. | Spanish Warships Off Gibraltar.

London, April 29.—A Bensation has been caused by the action of the Portu- guese government in stopping the transmission of telegraphic information, so far as the public is concerned, re- garding the movements of warships in Portuguese ports, as it reveals the hith- erto scarcely concealed fact that Por- tugal is doing everything possible to aid Spain. The decision of the Portuguese government today is undoubtedly in response to the ' pressure brought to bear upon her by Spain, and the sole object of the order, it is believed, is to prevent news of the departure of the Spanish fleet from being tabled from St. Vincent, Cape Verde islands. A dispatch received here from Lisbon this morning, in reiterating the denial made in the Portuguese house of peers yesterday that President McKinley had called upon Portugal to obtain the de- parture of the Spanish squadron from St. Vincent, Cape Verde islands, adds: "President McKinley's notification is j understood to have threatened, unless i the Spaniards were ordered to leave St. I Vincent, that the United States would \ regard Portugal as an ally of Spain and •I t r e a t h e r a c c o r d i n g l y .

The local potato market continue ac- tive and shippers are buying at 65 to 70 cents. Grocers are also beinnipg to bid the same prices and today the retail prices will be advanced to 90 cents per bushel and 25 cents per peck by the Wa- tertown grocers. Several large lots of potatoes have been bought for shipment at 70 cents. Stock must be fancy and well sorted to being this price, round white being preferred. The egg market is steady at lO^cents. Butter is unchanged at 13 to 14 cents. H. M. Ball made a shipment to New York, 13 cents being the price paid. The flour market is still unsettled.
