Debarkation at Ponce and War News Reflections
The Oregonian era column notes the American army landing at Ponce with cheers as the war against Spain continues. It discusses Dewey and Hobson cooking roles, calls for swift peace terms including Cuban independence and U S occupation of Porto Rico while praising administration handling. It marks 1898 as a historic year with the deaths of Gladstone and Bismarck and recounts a local embezzlement case involving President J A Hall and T K Lee with court delays and testimony.
