MAYO, Edna, Minn. Blockade of Cuban Ports Than Heretofore. I1TMW111KK I 00 1 (By the Associated Press). Washington, June 28. The president has Issued a proclamation extend ing the Cuban blockade along the southern coast from St.

Frances to Cape Cruz inclusive. The proclamation also declares for a strict blockade of the OUR GREAT SALE port of San Juan, Porto Rico. The proclamation Is as follows: proclamation of April 22, 1898, a blockade of the ports on the northern off with a very lively coast of Cuba from Cardenas to Bahal Honda inclusive, and of Port Clenfu-cgos, on the south coast of Cuba, was declared instituted, and 'Whereas, It has become desirable ern ports, Started Below we quote a few Bargains to show you what you may expect: since without many to see who take bought fully just Now, therefore, William McKinley, president of the United States, do hereby declare and proclaim in addition to the blockade of the ports specified in my proclamation of April 22, 1898, that the United States ot America has instituted and will make effective a blockade of all the ports on the south has been active and abatement. A great people who came just what we had," and others, "were afraid it was a sale," looked at the goods, them and left the store satisfied that we are doing what we advertised. cost of Cuba from Cape Frances to Cape SUITS FOR Juan on the island of Porto Rico.

Neutral vessels in any of the ports to which the blockade by the present proclamation is extended, will be allowed thirty days to issue therefrom with their cargoes. (Signed.) Wm. McKinley. The president's proclamation today adds about five hundred miles to the line of blockade around Cuba, while the former proclamation only covered about one hundred miles of the coast line. The job of blockading, however, will not be increased four-fold as the south coast has few cities or harbors capable of accommodating vessels of any considerable draft.

About the only new points to be covered under this proclamation are Manzillo, Trinidad, Tunas and Batabano. The last named is the principal point through which Havana ba9 been getting beef from Mexico. The vessels for this service will be drawn almost exclusively from the North Atlantic patrol fleet which has been guarding the coast cities from Maine to South Carolina. This service was abandoned because there was no longer any danger to fear from Spanish war vessels and some of these ships are already on their way -to their new stations. The blockade of San Juan, Porto Rico, is in reality already in effect as shown by the report of Saptain Sigsbee of the St.

The republican political situation in Hughes county has developed a peculiar situation for republicanism, which culminated in the next thing to a howling farce at Blunt yesterday. To start the matter, some time ago, all the members but one of the county central committee signed a call for a mass county convention to be held at the court house in Pierre tc Belect delegates to the convention at Mitchell.

Only a few days' notice was given of this convention, though it was published in every paper inthe county, and one of the papers which published it added an editorial to the effect that it was "a Burke and "a snap convention," instead of a mass convention, and that many would not attend. Further, that they would not attend for the reason that the call was to select delegates, and no primary convention for that purpose had been called as was required by the regulations governing republican politics ot Hughes county. About 100 came out, and as soon as the convention assembled a resolution was adopted that the delegation selected by such mass convention be'sumbitted at a primary election to be held on a date to be set by the county central committee, not later than June 29. The antl-Burke faction then secured the signature of one member of the committee to call for Vtrfass convention at Blunt on the 25th bf Jiifne, at 2 o'clock p. of all republicans of the county who did not take a part in the Pierre convention.

The anti-Burke faction hastened to Blunt early on that day, and in the forenoon held a "conference" behind closed doors, with about 25 or 30 present, at which a delegation was selected and resolutions passed denouncing snap conventions; declaring for pri maries, and denouncing the North western road for running a special train to Blunt to accomodate the crowd going there to attend the convention. They also appointed a con ference committee of six to meet and confer with a like committee from the Burke faction, upon their arrival. About noon the train from Pierre arrived with over 100 republicans, and farmers coming in -from the country swelled the crowd to double that num ber. They found the only hall in the town locked, and the door guarded by the town marshal, who notified all who desired to enter that he had orders to admit no one without instructions from John Sutherland. Shortly afterward the Burke faction was notified of the appointment of the conference committee, and appointed a committee of their own, the commit tee of twelve going into conference about 2 o'clock, and remaining in conference until nearly 6 without coming to any The door of the hall was kept locked until late In the afternoon, but opened about 5 o'clock.

Finally the Burke members of the conference refused to dally longer and started for the hall, where a convention was convened. Just after the organization a messenger arrived from the other faction saying they would accept the terms If the Burke conference would return, and an agreement was reached to submit the different sets of delegates at tne pri marles to be held on the 20th of July, th conferees on each side agreeing to abide by the decision of the primaries. The convention then adopted the re port ot the conferrees and after endorsing the action of the Pierre con- The anti-Burke faction made no further All participants! the convention were required to sign a roll aa members of the convention, and the name of. 1W were takes.
