Mr. Hanna —Chicago Chronicle
Admiral Oervera is the biggirt
Spaniard developed by the war
Judging from bis published views, his
gentlemanly bearing and bis brave
courteous command ol tbe deatroyed
fleet, it would be a glorious day for
Spain, it they made him prime minis.
g|.. ter as soon ae the war is over.
■ One ol tbe most noeel “netboda of
hiding a dispatch from tbe enemy is
attributed to “Shorty” Gonxalee, an
•American scout at Santiago. He was
entrusted with an important dispatch,
and being in danger ol falling into the
bands of the Spaniards he pul H into
a rubber tobacco pouch he bad in hie
pocket, and forced bis mule to swallow
it. He was captgred, but nothing be-*
ing found upon him he was allowed to
go, and on his arrival at hie place of
destination the mule was killed am
tbe important document whs cut out
by a veterinary surgeon. “Shorty”
ought to be given a medal for his clev
erness. _________
The commissioner of agriculture ol
Alabama recently made a tour through
tbe eastern and southeastern portions
of that state, with a view to investi*
gating the crop prospects. As a result
of bis trip, the commissioner ssys that
witbin the past ten days the continu*
ous rains and tbe ravages of the bol
worms and rust have caused a decrease
in percentage of tbe cotton crop o
from twenty five to thirty five per
cent, as compared with the prospects
at the same time last year.
MUesOpera-Bonffe
H General Miles’ ievasion of Porto
Rico is like a scene from upera-buffe.
Nothing more comic was ever put
upon the stage than some of the
events which have accompanied it.
When our troops made a landing at
the little port of Ponce, tbe people
marched down to tbe beach, loaded
with cigars, tropical fruit and other
gifts, with which they bombarded the,
boats before they reached the shore.
As the boys come on land, they were
embraced by the effusive Porto Ricane,
and loaded with tokens ol amity and
good will.
Ponce ia a goodly-sited city, the
K second in importance on tbe island,
two miles inland from the port. Ila
surrender was demanded and received
by telephone. Ito people made a hol
iday festival of tbe surrender, and re
ceived tbe American troops as oom*
rades rather than invaders. Gilbert,
of Mikado fame, never conceived a
more comic situation.
Thd outlying villages and military
stations surrendered to officers who
drove out from the city in vehicles,
without either tbe pomp or tbe pano
ply of terrible war. But tbe elimax
of absurdity was tbe glad surrender of
the town of Coamo to a newspaper
correspodent who strayed into it, hav*
ing lost his way on a obscure road,
fc; The whole invasion is provocative of
laughter, if not productive of glory,
and would furnish tbe text for a comic
opera libretto on tbe Merry War.—
