A Crisis at Hand in Cuba'S At
fairs.

Jacksonville, Jan. 19.-At the
request of the Federal War Depart
ment Governor Mitchell has ordered
Adjutand General Houston to see
that the Florida troops are in readi-
ness to take the field at a moments
notice.
This statement is made on the
authority of Judge NJ. A. Dzialynski
Of the city court of Jacksonville,
who returned to-day from Tallahas-
see, the State capital.
The Judge received his lnforma-
ton from an aide in Adiutant Gen.
Houston's office. Judge Dzialynski's
informant said it was understood
similar requests had been sent to the
Governors of other States. Advices
from Tallahassee tonight state that
the story has become generally
known there and is causing great
excitement.
Governor Mitchell and Adjutant
General Houston were asked in re-
gard to it, but they refused to either
affirm or deny. Adjutant General
Houston has been in his Office all
day and has sent kilograms to all
battalion commanders in the State.
Major Turner, of Jacksonville, COM
manding First Florida Battalion.
has received several messages for
the Adjutant General, but refuses to
make known their contents.
The battilion commanders at
Pensacola and Tampa have also re-
ceived messages from General Hous
ton to-day. 1t is stated in Talla>
hassee as coming from the executive
office, that the Washington author
tiles have reason to believe that q
deal is pending between Spain and
Great Britain for the sale of Cuba to
latter, and that the United States is
preparing to resist the transfer of
the island at all costs.
Cuban leaders here insist that
Great Britain is after the island, and
that the flying squadron is coming
to American waters to be ready for
the war with the United States that
will inevitably follow the attempted
cession of Cuba. Dispatches indi-
cate that the report about holding
the troops in readiness has spread all
over Florida, and that the war fever
is higher now than the day after
Cleveland's Venezuelan message.

England assembled in this same
harbor of Portsmouth. Thirteen
war vessels were then gathered there
of the best type extant at that time.
Either the Majestic or the Magnifi-
cent of the present Channel fleet
could send the whole thirteen to the
bottom before any one of them could
reach her. OF the thirteen only
three are now in commission, and
are practically superannuated. The
others have been sold as marine
rubbish.-Ec.

Means America no Harm.

London, Jan. Whatever may
be the sensational reports in America
about the destination of the flying
sbuadron, they are the merest cons
GESTURE. Not even the Admiral, as
I cabled Saturday, will know his
destination until he opens his in
structions when putting fnally to
sea. The wild reports apparently
current in America of its sailing
poin. being Bermuda, or having ref
erence to either Venezuela or Cuba,
are denounced by the authorities
here as mischievous fabrications.
Such step on the part of the
British Admiralty, it is fully recog
nized, would be tantamount to de-
claring war with the United States.
Lord Salisbury has not lost his SEN
ses and such action could only mean
that.
No authority here can understand
what is meant by the report from
New York that Great Britain has
made a demand on Spain for the
revenues Of Cuba to pay the outstad>
ing claims of investors In Spanish
bonds. Doubtless there are such
iavestors in England, but the widest
imaginings could not conceive of the
British Government intervening by
such method to enforce the pay
ment of the debt to British subjects.
That, again, would mean war with
the United States, it not with the
whole civilized world.
The flying squadron doubtless has
fulfilled its mission in serving notice
on the world that Great Britain is in
complete readiness to meet any
emergency. 1t may not sail huns
dred miles beyond these shores. 1t
is indeed proof of this empires naval
prescience and strength.

Munoy Valleys Calleipian Literary
Society.


The members of the Calleipian
Society seem to appreciate the fact
that the literary society is one of the
most important factors in the attain
ment of an all>around developement.
The society under the management
of Prof. 7. H. Gallagher, has more
than held its own, both in regard to
increase of membership and as con>
Germs interest of program.
The subjects of the orations have
been selected with care, and were
such as to awaken not only thought,
but feeling also, The subjects were
such as in some demonstrable way,
concern the well-being of men.
Probably the exercise most enjoy
ed by those taking part as we'll as by
the audience is the debate. It's value
for developing quickness of insight,
GOODNESS under fire. and skill in
handeling the "I4aboring oar" is
proverbial. Political subjects, sub
iects Of debatable nature in the
pedagogical field, and questions
dealing with the problem of life,
have been discussed. Among those
taking a prominent part in the
society debates we ask leave to men.

A few of the resolutions debated
were the following: Resolved that
compulsory school law is benefit;
that foreign emigration should be
prohibited; that the pen is mightier
than the sword; that electricity bene-
fits us more than steam; that the
Indian received crueler treatment
by the whites than the Negro; etc.
The musical programs have been
fully abreast of the literary.
The recitations, as always, have
been very good. Tho interest in
society work continues undated, and
the outlook is bright.

a Remarkable Tree.

There is a hayward white oak tree
near Laporte, Ind, that may puzzle ma
turalists with the yagaries of its
growth. The tree is nine feet in circum-
ference at the base. and there are no
branches OF any size below fifteen feet
from the ground. There the great bole
divides into number of limbs. Two,
leaving the trunk about twenty inches
apart, grow west, their lines diverging
for some six feet. and then each rend-
ing toward the other. Twelve feet from
the body of the tree they unite again.
making perfect oval. and out of this
grows two smaller branches. AS If not
satisfied with that expressed disregard
for the laws of nature. this old tree has
performed another feat. Six feet from
It's base grows another white oak. less
than half its size, and no sooner does
the smaller tree arrive at the charmed
circles of those branching limbs than
one of them grows right into II. and is
absorbed. The second tree Is very much
larger twenty feet from the ground
than al to base.

years. consuming so much as to make

his health. One box Of No-To-Bac COM
