SNUBS HIS RELATIVES.
Delivers Many Rebukes
*.> to Royalty.

There is no sovereign in Europe who
has had occasion to administer so many
bitter snubs to his felIow-ru1ers as the
young emperor of Russia. Although
he is IN point of age, as well as the dura-
ton OF his reign, the junior of nearly all,
yet, just because of his silence and re-
serve, they all seem to be eager and
anxious to force their society upon him
and to pay him visits with an impresse-
ment that savors far more of vassals
than OF Independent and friendly SOW
ereigns, says the Washington Post.
The snubs that he has administered to
Emperor William have been so numer-
Gus that people have lost count of them.
He has only just consented to reopen
the doors of the winter palace to Prince
Ferdinand of Bulgaria, after keeping
them closed against him for couple

They have clear sweep Of the Potomac
for ten miles, and the guns have power
to throw their masses of metal dis
lance of Ia miles. 5. tsz.s -...-.. -
The scenery about them is beautiful,
picturesque and peaceful. Smooth
sloping swards of grass greet the eye.
There are trees, shrubbery and hedge
fences in sight; but no sign of cannons
or Notifications. The enemy could take
no aim, unless at the cannons while
they are for a second on the surface,
in the act OF firing. It takes 10 Sec
onds for shot to go seven miles. The
guns are perfectly safe from the enemy.
And in addition to these batteries the
submarine mines which have been laid
in the channel of the Potomac would
prove to be powerful enough to de-
stroy any shi ps of war in the world.
At last the national capital is safe from
attack by water.
During the past two months of hasty
preparation defenses for our larger
cities have been completed. Because of
the necessity of this work the presi-
dent has sought delay. He has also
prayed and hoped for peace. Our peo-
pie have been too anxious for war, too
anxious to rush into hostilities. As
matter of fact, if this country had IN
dertaken to at once avenge the crime
which was committed in Havana har-
Dor we would have been Inundated by
temporary defeat at the hands of the
perpetrators of that crime.
Everyone wildly remembers the
shock which filed our land when news
came of the explosion of the Maine;
and the president was advised by many
men of prominence to at once send our
fleet to lombard Havana, and arbitrate
afterwards But he wisely forebore and
resisted such counselors.
Every day of delay made this country
stronger and made Spain weaker. Our
resources were being developed; and
all the while the financially and morally
rotten government at Madrid was grow
ing weaker. The president sought to
quiet our people by automatically over
looking the Maine disaster. But he and
all of US realized that the starvation of
the Cubans was set aside in the public
mind, and the Maine disaster was fore
most. Over all, sternly searching for
the truth, was the piercing eye of the
American eagle.

The war fever was high at Owatonna
few days ago. A Spanish blacksmith.
c. Zanetti, had a dispute with a popu-
lar travelling man. C. Allen. He said
Allen, like all Yankees, was a coward
and couldn't make Spain show the
white feather. Allen hit him once and
disabled him Allen paid fine of $40
and costs and says he would hit the
president himself if he talked like that.

STANDARD OF SPAIN.
At Last It Must Leave the Western

After Centuries of savagery and Bar
4 oarity the Cruel SpaniaFds Are
About to Receive Their
80 Just Deserts.
Especial Washington Letter.1

From the day of the declaration of
President Cleveland that the United
States had a right to interfere with
It was inevitable that the crisis between
spain and the United States should
some day eliminate.
The report of the senate committee
on foreign relations on the resolution
recognizing the independence of the
Cuban republic gave to the American
people and to the world statements of
facts which had not been developed by
investigation or by the public press.
That report showed to the world that
the warfare of the Spaniards was re-
duced to the savagery CT numbering lit
Tie children and torturing innocent
women in manner too horrible to be
described in polite language.
The fendishness of the Spanish race
has no parallel in the history of the
civilized world. Those people have had
their churches, their priests, bishops,
their cathedrals and all of the devel-
oped paraphernaiia for the dissemina-
tion OF the Christian religion-a re-
hglon OF love. And yet, as the centuries
passed and intelligence of right was
disseminated, the Spaniards became
worse and apparently less capable of
refinement of feeling.
The crusaders buckled sword in
cause no more holy than the cause of
humanity which has led the United
States into armed conflict with the as
sassins of our sailors, the torturers of
the Cubans and the murderers of the
Aztecs and Peruvians.
The people of this country have been
impatient and their representatives
have received scores and hundreds of
kilograms and letters manifesting the
1mpatience of the people; and for
time the president himself was assailed

asked him if he knew where the num-
Der was. He answered very politely
that he did not, but was going that way
and would help me hunt. He told an
other man in front of him about it, and
that man told some of his friends. In
few minutes these gentlemen had
formed an advance guard in our inter
est. We walked calmly behind, while
they went in front, on either side of the
street, striking matches and looking
for the number. There were eight of
them, and their matches would go off
one after the other. It was a regular

We approached the house rapidly, and

their hats and walked into the dark

DECLARES FOR WAR.
Decree Isssed By the Spanish Govern
nent Announcing HOstilities
with United States.

Madrid, April 25.-The Spanish gov
eminent has formally recognized the
state of war that exists between Spain
and the United States. A royal decree
was gazetted here Sunday announcing
that diplomatic relations between the
two nations had been broken off and
state of war begun. The decree is as
follows:
diplomatic relations are broken OF be-
tween Spain and the United States, and
the state Of war having begun between the
two countries, numerous questions Of inter-
national law arise which must be pre-
cisely defined chiefly because the Injustice
and provocation come from our adver-
saries. and it Is they who. by their de-
testable conduct, have caused this grave
conflict.
Clause l. The state OF war existing be-
tween Spain and the United States annuls
the treaty OF peace and amity OF October
Y, 1875, and the protocol Of January II,
1871, and all other agreements, treaties or
conventions in force between the two coun-
tries.
Clause 2. From the publication of these
presents 80 days are granted to all ships
OF the United States anchored in our har-
bors to take their departure free Of him
drance
Clause 3. Notwithstanding that Spain
has not adhered to the declaration of Paris,
the government, respecting the principles
OF the law of nations. proposes to observe.
and hereby orders to be observed, the fol-
lowing regulations Of maritime law:
L Neutral flags cover the enemy's mer-
chandise except contraband Of war.
2. Neutral merchandise, except contra
band Of war, is not seizable under the enc
my's flag.
''3 blockade to be obligatory must be
effective-viz-: 1t must be maintained with
sufficient force to prevent access to the
enemy's littoral.
~ The Spanish government, upholding
Its right to grant letters of marQue, will
at present confine itself to organizing, with
the vessels of the mercantile marine, a
force Of auxiliary cruisers which will CO.
operate with the navy according to the
needs Of the campaign and will be under
naval control.
IS In order to capture the enemy's ships
and conflscate the enemy's merchandise
and contraband of war, under whatever
form, the auxiliary cruisers will exercise
the right Of search on the high seas and in
the waters under the enemy's jurisdiction,
in accordance with International law and
the regulations which will be published.

and throughout the entire country be-
cause he did not take speedy action
to avenge the destruction of the bat
t1eship Maine and the villainous MUIR
der of our sailors.
we ID Washington, who understand
the situation, have not been impatient
with the president at all. We under
stand that this great country, like a
giant as compared with Spain, had
been bound and manacled by penuri-
BUSINESS. Congressional appropriat tons
had been so small and niggardly that
our sea coast defenses were practical
~ dismantled; while our war vessels
were without shot, shell or powder
with which to make the great guns eff
fective. President Mckinley under
stood this matter thoroughly. AL
though he was as anxious as any citi-
zen of the country to drive from this
peaceful continent the savages of Spain,
he maintained dignifed silence, re-
sorted to the delays of diplomacy, and
held congress in check until the army
and navy were we'll equipped and ready
to strike the blow.
Only as late as April 2 the defenses
of the national capital were completed.
Z On that Saturday afternoon the sec
rotary of war, with leading army Off
GERS, went down the river to make final
tests of the disappearing guns near
Fort Washington and Sheridan'z point.
The guns were found to be in position,
ready for business, and several shots
were fred.
Nh These great guns are situated on
slightly rising knobs, in solid masonry,
200 feet from the rivers brink No ri
fled cannon on earth could penetrate
the heavy clay soil to that depth. With
In the masonry are built disappearing
gun carriages, which work perfectly
By turning a lever the gun and car
rage, weighing total of about POO, 900
pounds, gradually rise to the surface, a
button is pressed, the gun is fired, and
the recoil causes it to settle gently back
into its place.
Each gun is loaded and sighted down
in that masonry cavern. The river is
plated, and the aim is taken to strike
any object entering certain plat. It
. IS marvellous to see the gunners down
there, sighting their great guns by
mathematics. sEz
Three shots were fired, at distances
Of three miles, five miles and seven
miles. and the points indicated in the
river were struck with absolute pre-
cision. The guns belch forth 600
pounds Of solid metal, and hurl them
that distance with as much accuracy
Us an experienced riheman would pick
on an enemy at distance Of 100 yards
There are seven of these guns Their
exact location has never been given

They are on the Virgil. ia and Maryland
shores Of the Potomac; and no feeto Of
Har vessels could pass up the cham.
