| gence concerning
| THIS DEvuIsH BLooDsHED,
every bit OF news, no matter how Insignificant,
relating to II, Is eagerly scanned and earnestly
talked about wherever you chance to go.
The condition OF many OF the monitors at League
Island and their inability to be turned into imme-
date service is a matter OF no less surprise than
the fact that when the massacre was effected we had
no ship in Cuban waters. The people here lain that
our navy Is constantly sacrificed Tor political pur-
| poses, and that the funds necessary to conduct
| war are continually Incorporated for the
| cessful management OF an election There is no
! reason why our navy should not now be in fair
condition Tor service, is there any reason why
the sloop-oi-war Canandaigua should have been
compelled, as she ia, to undergo two weeks re-
| pairs before sailing.
Most eagerly are the kilograms from Washing
ton awaited and the people here trust that the
news NAV be such as TO set all the bells ringing
and every nag streaming from one end OF the
country TO the other.
