CINCINNATI, Jan. 1.-THE Com
mercial Gazette tomorrow will publish
a plea for Mckinley as the fittest man
for the Republican candidacy for presi-
dent in it's series of articles on this
subject It was written by John NJ.
Thurston. In the outset it says the
vital question before the Republicans
is not who can lead the party to
victory. Whoever may be nominated
will be elected. The real living ques-
ton is:
"Who can best meet the requirements
sure such an administration as will
guarantee the permanent prosperity of
the United States.
"That man should be man of I'M
compromising convictions, man
about whose character and principles
there will be no guess work among
the people.
The time is not opportune for any
states favorite, son. He must be in
the highest sense son of all the
states.
1.-The opening of the factories is the
great desideratum. The question of
money and finance are secondary mat
ters in comparison. The Monroe doc
trine will not be an issue, inasmuch as
all parties are one party in favor of
its full enforcement. Any candidate
whom the Republican party nominates
will stand upon a platform pledged to
that character of bimetalliSm which
guarantees equal purchasing and debt

NEW YORK, Jan ia dispatch TO
the World from London says:
THE reports concerning the destina-
ton of the British flying squadron can
not be more than the merest speculation,
as it sails under sealed orders, and even
the admiral in command viii be ignor
ant of his destination until the seal is
broken at the prescribed distance from
land. 1t is pretty generally admitted that
after the squadron assemblies at Spit
head tomorrow, and is inspected from
Osborne by the queen, 1t will steam into
Bantry Bay. Ireland. Beyond that there
is not glimmering of authoritative in
formation as TO its objective point from
Bantry.
The uItimatum from England to Vene-
zuela demanded payment of indemnity
for the attack on the British Guiana
police within three months. That ultima
tUm has been delivered at least six
weeks, probably longer, and no reply or
offer or payment is known to have been
made by the Venezuelan government. In
fact it was stated by the Caracas cor
respondent of the World some weeks
the indemnity and the boundary ques-
ucns should be treated as one, a pro-
position which if made to Great Brit
ain would certainly be rejected.
These facts give some color to the Sug-
Eeslion that the true object of the flying
squadron is TO operate against Vene-
zuela should she refuse to pay the in
demnity demanded for the attack on
the colonial police.
On the other hand the English fleet
now in the neghbOrhood of Venezuela,
is quite large enough, as was proved at
Corinto. to overawe any South American
republics.

stated here that DR.. jameson and the

be released Internationally by the
Transvaal government and that the
Uitlanders in due course of time will
be enabled to make their demands

1t is added, however, that the gov
eminent and the burghers will resist
any form of foreign protection, either
on the part of Great Britain or any
other country. They are firmly re-
solved to maintain the independence of
the republic and the grievances of the
people of the Rand will be settled when
the present excitement has abated.
1t is also stated to be quite untrue
that President Kruger was aware of
DR.. Jameson's intention to invade the
Transvaal territory. On the contrary,
the president, after being told that he
had crossed the border, said: Don't
tell me that Englishmen would do that.
Whatever may be said of them, they
are open and brave, and would not
make a oowardly, unprovoked attack

THE final triumph is sure. Who

over the present state Of affairs and

The present condition, without be-

engagement, our triumph has been as
complete as our eneny's resistance
would permit.
But the latter, eluding battles, dis
banding only to unite again, and avail
ing themselves of the superiority of
their cavalry, have managed to put
large distances between our columns

ges from one extreme end of the island

lives which have been sacrificed IN

And after all this is the nation to be
satisfied with the cry of confidence

AND THE ARABS.

The Arabs first came into immediate
contact with Europeans in the year
1906, when the great Portuguese Admi-
raj Albuquerque appeared in Muscat
harbor bent on his conquest of the
Persian gulf, and the object not even
vet accomplished, of making a route to
India via the Euphrates valley. From
Albuquerque's commentaries we got
graphic little description of the condi-
ton of the country when he reached
it, At first the Arabs were inclined to
receive the Portuguese without strug-
gle; but taking courage from the pres
ence of a large army of Bedouins in
the vicinity they soon showed treach-
erous intentions toward the invaders,
so that the Portuguese admiral deter
mined to attack the town and destroy
it, and the commentator states that
within were burned many provisions,
thirty-four ships in all, large and
small, many fishing barques, and an
arsenal full of every requisite for ship
building"
After effecting a landing the Portu-
guese ordered three gunners with axes
to cut the supports to the mosque,
which was large and very beautiful
edifice, the greater part being built of
timber finely carved, and the upper
part VI SIuCCO, anu IL WotO dCCOuIIJCQ
a propitious miracle by the Portu-
guese that the men who performed this
deed were not killed by the falling tim
Der. Muscat was then burned and ut
terly destroyed and having cut off
the ears and noses Of the prisoners, he
liberated them" The commentator
concludes his remark on Muscat as
follows: "Muscat is of old a market
for carriage of horses and dates; it is
a very elegant town, with very fine
houses 1t is the principal entrepot of
the kingdom of Ormuz, into which all
the ships that navigate these parts
must of necessity enter
The hundred and forty years dur
ing which the Portuguese occupied
Muscat and the adjacent coast town
was a period of perpetual trouble and
instruction. The factory and forts of
Jellali and Merani were commenced in
1927, but the forts in their present con-
dition we're not erected until 1880, after
the union of Portugal and Spain; the
order for the erection came from Mad
rid, and the inscription bears the date
1888 Not only were the Arabs con-
stantly on the lookout to dislodge their
unWelcome visitors, but the Turks at
tackled them likewise with a navy from
the side of the Persian gulf, and the
naval victory gained by the Portu-
guese off Muscat in 1854 is considered
by Turkish historians to have been a
greater blow to their power than the
victory of BarbaroSSa and Andrea Do
ria off Prevesa in 5SS.-Contemporary
