figures should be sufficient to inspire in
the pessimists and incredulous the ne
cessary peace Of mind, to close the
mouths of those who are constantly
stating that the Spanish forces are de-
fective and those who so freely criti-
else the naval profession in our coun-
try.
Recent experiences of such import
ance as that Of the battle of the Yalu,
in the Chino-Japanese war, have dem
onstrated the supremacy of quick fir
ing ordnance, and the former custom
of trusting to guns of immense cali
bre has gone out of date, while to-day
the great aim of constructors is mid
die sized guns well protected With
that idea in mind the new cruisers
have been equipped, for the rapid firing
guns are perfectly protected by armOr,
and with special provision for a separ-
ate supply Of shell.

DIVER ON THE WRECKED MAINE.
filled every position known to the mill
itary code, and filled them well. There
was just one blemish in brave Bills"
character-a blemish which many be-
lieve alone kept him out of commits
sion. "Bill" would drink, not often to
excess, but invariably just at the wrong
time, when his commanding officers
favorite though he was-could not
wink at the offense.
His last army service was at West
Point, where he figured to the admira-
ton of cadets and everybody else as
drum major. "Bill's" splendid figure
and profound knowledge of soldiery
won him this appointment.
Ten years ago he left the army and
enlisted as a marine. 1t was the old
story over again-rapid advancements,
followed by the inevitable setbacks, all
due to unwise conviyiality. Not that
Bill ever transgressed while on duty
for a frmer disciplinarian never
wore a marine uniform. Over at the
Brooklyn navy yard Anthony is well
known and well liked. He was sta
toned there for two years, and during
the greater part of that time served
as clerk in the recruiting Office.
Anthony was detailed to the Brook
Ign on its cruise in the China seas. Up
on his return he was sent to the Maine,
where his soldierly merit won him the
post of marine orderly.

BARN BURNERS AT
 WORK AT KAUFMAN.
Several Earns Have Been sIysteriOusly Set on Fire and Destroyed With
 in the Last Two Weeks.

Kaufman, Tex, Oct t2.-Almost reign of terror is prevailing in this town.
 Within the last two weeks seven barns have been destroyed by fire in this city, all within q radius of 900 yards of each other.
 Two weeks ago a large hay barn be. longing to Charley Slaughter, that com tained about 75 tons of hay was burned. Just one week afterward two barns fill. ed with hay and corn, belonging to ". 2. Watkin, within 100 feet of slaugh- ter's barn, were burned
 Saturday night last another large barn of Charley slaughter's, filed with feed stuff, was burned
 Sunday night E ? Fox got two buck. cts of water ans. sscreted himself in his barn to extinguish the fire in the event his barn should be set on fire, and while sitting in his barn he heard match strike at the rear of his barn, and heard two people talking in 0 low tone of voice. Before he could scramble over to the rear end of the house with his water buckets the hay was ablaze, and the whole structure was soon in ashes and the frebugs gone.
 About two hours later the large barn of R. ". Smith was set on fire, and it, too, with its contents, was soon in ashes.
 Monday about Il 0 clock the handsome barn of Elder D B Mizen was burned to ashes, together with it's contents
 The total losses will foot up about &4ooo, or perhaps $5o00, with but little insurance, and that only on two or three Of the barnes destroyed. The whole thing is shrouded in mystery and the en- tire town is worked up to fever heat over the matter.

 Asked what he thought would event ually become of the Indian, Geronimo hesitated moment, and then pointing to the west, replied:
 "The sun rises and shines for time and then it goes down, sinking out of sight and is lost. So it will be with the Indians
 "When I was boy my old father told me that the Indians were as many as the leaves on the trees, and that way of in the north they had many horses and furs. I never saw them, but l know that if they were there then they have gone now, and the white man has taken all they had. twill be only few years more until the Indians will bo heard of no more, except in the books that the white man has written They are not the people that the Great Father loves, for if they were he would protect them. They have tried to please him, but they donot know how.
 "Schools are good things for Indians, but it takes many years to change the nature of the Indian. If m Indian boy goes to school and learns to be like q white boy, he comes back to the agency and there is nothing for him to do but to put on blanket and be like an Indian again. This is where the government is to blame. When it takes our children away and educates them it should give them something to do, not turn them loose to run wild upon heagency. Un- til that time comes, educating the In- dian is throwing money away. What can an educated Indian do out in the sage brush and cactus?
