FORTITUDE OF THE SAILORS.
The danger of exposing unacclim
ated troops to the diseases which
ravage Cuba in the rainy season is
doubtless one of the considerations
which have led the government to
delay the invasion of the island.
The forward movement now believed
to be at hand, if not under way,
may have been dictated solely by
. military necessity, but it is permitted
" to hope that the government teels
justified in believing that rigid reg
ulations respecting food, clothing and
n11 oanifarir nnco! if iao will frroftt..
1y diminish the risk to be incurred.
It is conceivable also that the author
ities have taken into serious account
jlio fant that. Iho. rlnrkndinr ffiri-p
.cannot endure for so indefinite time
ilbe conditions which have surround
vfid them for more than a month, and
wbieh are constantly growing more
oppressive.
Our sailors, who entered upon their
work with splendid spirit, have per
formed it with perfect devotion, and
are unquestionably anxious to keep
-011 doing their duty, whatever it may
be, in the same manner. Their zeal
is beyond suspicion, but their effi
ciency may not be proof against im-.
pairment. The suspense which they
arc. enduring is in itself no slight
-strain, and would be, even if their
circumstances were otherwise wholly
favorable.
But a more important consideia
tion is that they have been subjected
all these weeks to the blistering beat
of steel ships under a tropical sun,
and it is too much to expect that
they can retain their full strength
and vigor for months to come in
such a situation. If necessary they
will endure the orde&l . as best they
can, but if without undue risk the
war can, be shortened by' an immedi
ate combination of military and
naval operations the present suffer
icg of our seamen is one of the valid
arguments in favor of a joint cam
paign. Whatever may be determined
anon hv those who have the knowl
edge and the responsibility, it seems
no. more than fitting to remind the
country with what fortitude the men
aboard the (fleets in Cuban waters
have done their depressing and de
bilitating work. Not a word of
fault-finding has come from them,
and we have no idea that a single
complaint will be heard, however
. . 1 . 1 . 1 1 .

But all the more tor this reason is it
incumbent on their fellow-citizens
to recognize and appland their de
votion and to rejoice in their pros-
ITS MORAL EFFECT.
The moral effect of the Merrimac
affair is second only to the victory
Of Manila. These two events have
compelled Europe to re-adjust its
opinion of the American navy.
In one of the dispatches reporting
the details of the sinking of the Mer
rimac, the courageous band who.per
formed the important work are re
ferred to as a "dare devil crew."
This is a gross misconception of the
spirit which directed these heroes.
There was nothing of sudden im
pulse or excitement about the
achievement. After due delibera
tion, it was considereJ important
that the narrow channel be blocked,
and there was but one way to do it-
send in a worthless ship with the
smallest . possible crew and , sink it.
The plan was explained to the crews
of the various warships, and'volun
teers were called for, as is the cus
tom when army and navy officers in
command want a detail of men to
undertake work of unusual danger.
On every ship volunteers respond
ed by the hundred, and this. face
will impress the world and the enemy
more than the fact that seven men
were found for the hazardous under
taking. It means that when there is
important work to be done, no mat
ter how great the peril, the entire
navv of the United States stands
ready to do it.
THE CROSSROADS STRATEGISTS
From Oshkosh to Wynockie every
town and hamlet in this bread land
has its Board of Strategy. Thous
ands of able-bodied citizens spend
their spare evenings poring over war
maps and planning campaigns for the
capture of Havana, the reduction of
San Juin, the destruction of Spain's
power in the Philippines and the in
vasion of Spain itself. To these in
comparable strategists the . whole
thing is easy. All that we have to
do is to batter down the various
Morro Castles, land the necessary
troops and then send word to Mad
rid that tha job Is finished. It is
too bad that our government can't
avail itself of the services of the
crossroad generals and admirals.
They could end the war in a jiffy,
or less, and without the loss of any
lives, except, of ' course, among the
Spaniards.
The officials in Washington are
hampered by the knowledge of ma
terialistic facts, but the official war
makers do not know these things, and
it would not make any difference if
they did; they' would simply say,
"Presto I" and 'tis done. '
ACCLIMATIZING THE TROOPS.
No one understands climatic con
ditions in Cnba better than General
Fitzhugh Lee. Ever sin;e his first
interview with the president there
has been evident a purpose In tie
moment of troops to prepare them
gradually for operations in the Cuban
climate. Regulars from the West
and North were first concentrated at
Chickamauga; then they were sent
further south, and finally to Mobile
and Tampa. The volunteers,.after a
few weeks in stale camps, were or
dered to Chickamauga. After a few
weeks' seasouing in drilling and
marching, many were sent to Jack
sonville and others to Mobile and
Tampa.
In all this movement to acclima
tize the troorjs General Lee and
others well informed as to the Cuban
climate have undoubtedly been ad
visers. No better point for the first
rendezvous than Chickamauga could
have been "selected. It is warm
there in this season, but the climate
is no more than that of Chicago. It
is warm at Jacksonville, and warmer
at Tampa. . Discomforts of camp at
Tampa are very great, but the men
are becoming used to conditions not
unlike those which prevail in Cuba
and Porto Rico. When they move
to the islands they will be batter for
tified against climatic peculiarities
than if they had been sent at once to
the field of active operations from
points in the North.
The management of tLe army in
this particular has been admirable.
Very little has been said about it,
but it is clear that a well-considered
plan, laid out by men of experience,
has been followed with advantage to
all the troops who are to make up
the army of invasion.
There is reluctance to order the
troops into Cuba in the rainy sea
son, but for strategic and political
reasons it is necessary that we have
a foothold in Cuba and Porto Rico
as soon as possible. '
The plan adopted will take the
men seasoned at Jacksonville, Mobile
and Tampa to the highlands of East
ern Cuba and to Porto Rico, where
they will be less exposed to the dan
gers of the rainy season. The offi
cers directing the campaign are well
informed as to the condition of their
men and will not be harried into
blunders by the cry, "On to Havana."
Council Meetlncr
s
At a meeting of the city council held
at the nsual place Wednesday evening,
clerks for the city election which will be
held in The Dalles on June 20th were
appointed. The polling places will be at
Wm. MIchell's undertaking parlore, tbj
Union street school and the recorder's
office. . .
f An ordinance, ueciariuu tutu it win u
considered a misdemeanor to have any
nickel-in-the-slot machines in the places
of business, and ordering all machines
of this character to be removed, was
adopted.
Another ordinance, forbidding any
railroads or car lines to build any spurs
or sidetracks on the streets of The Dalles
without the special commission of the
council, an i ordering that all such rail
roads and car lines already built be
planked, was adopted.
The bills lor the month were con
sidered and ordered paid, but space will
not permit their insertion in this iasue
Weather and River.
Every state and territory of the
West has furnished the president all
the men asked for, and some of them
offered more men than their quotas.
The cavalry regiments have been re
cruited almost wholly-from the
West, and Roosevelt, Grigsby or
Torrey would have had a great many
more men under them if they had
bad places for them. While there is
some disappointment because under
the second call the men are to be
used largely to fill out the regiments
already in the camps, it is principal
ly the disappointment of persons
who had been promised commissions,
and this will not keep men who want
to fight for their country from en
listing. Omaha Bee. . -

The Columbia below the Cascades will
rise today; at Portland a rise of 0.2 or
0.3 of a foot will - be shown Saturday
morning. ' A rise of at least three feet at
Portland will occur by Thursday, June

The funeral of Charles A. Edwards
took place Thursday evening from the
Crandall & Bargett undertaking parlors,
and was largely attended by friends and
fellow employes on the O. K. & N., with
whom he was an unusual favorite. The
funeral services, which - were short and
appropriate, were conducted by Rev.
Wood of the M. E. church. The re
mains were laid away in the Odd Fel
lows cemetery.
The many and beautiful floral pieces
which were brought by his frienda and
daily associates on the road were silent
reminders of the esteem in which he
was held; while those of D. W. Camp
bell, of Portland, chief train dispatcher,
proved that the departed was held in the
highest regard by bis employers, as well
as the men with whom he worked.
The death of Mr. Edwards Is a very
sad affair; the more so on account of
the wife and three small children who
now mourn for him.
