Snain Bought Warships.

London, March 8.-The English news
papers today confirm the news of SPANS
purchase of warships. The st. James
Gazette, which yesterday published the
denials of the Spanish embassy and
Spanish naval commission, which has an
office in London, says today:
1t is ascertained on very high authori-
ty, in spite of denials, that the Spanish
government has almost certainly sue
ceeded in buying three nearly completed
cruisers here and two coast defense yes
sells which are about to be launched in
France Experts are almost as much
surprised at the success of Madrid in
raising money as by the clever diploma
cy which secured the Gillian and Bra
lillian cruisers of the Armstrong; at
cost believed to be G1,00OOO almost be-
fore the move was suspected.
The article goes on to say that much
competition between Spain and the Uni
ted States for the various ships con-
structing was expected, but America
has come to the conclusion that its naval
resources are strong enough to confront
Spain, and is playing waiting game"
"Behavior Correct"
Madrid, March 8.-A semi official note
just issued declares that the Spanish
government has not received any COM
plant regarding the attitude of General
Fitzhugh Lee, the United States con-
sui general at Havana, adding:
On the contrary, Captain General
BlancO affirms that General Lees be-
/ havior has always been correct. Never
theless, the incident serves to explain
the origin of the ill will between the two
countries. This is proved by the state
ments attributed to Secretary Sherman,
by which the jingoes have created the
belief in the United States that Spain is
trying to provoke war, while at the same
time engendering the feeling in Spain
that it is the United States which de-
mands the opening of hostilities. 1t is
essential that this double game should
be ended, in order to prevent the two
countries from going to war without mo-
tives, and without either of them desir-
ing it.

A Third Inquiry.

Washington, March 9.-In conjunction
with the intimations of the Spanish gov
eminent regarding Consul General Lee
and the class of vessels in which the re-
lief supplies should be sent to Cuba a
third inquiry was made. Captain crown
inshield was the object of request FOR
information as to the nature of his re-
cent trip to the West Indies. The Span
ish government had been informed that
Crowninshield on this occasion had been
in communication with the insurgents
and even went so far as to give them in
direct aid through filibustering sources.
When the matter was brought to the at
tention of President Mckinley an I'M
mediate denial in explicit terms was re-
turned. Spain thereupon closed the IN
cident with an acceptance of the presi-
dents statement.

Publish Fhe Lists.

Pensioners are of two
classes;
First-The comparatively
few who receive an allowance
from the Government, not
as aims but as an honestly
nobly earned return-as a
mere testimonial Of ap-
oreciation Of services whose
value cannot be estimated in
money.
In respect of these pen
sioners the pension list is a
roll Of honor.
Second-The absolutely
many who have got pensions
by fraud and deceit and
political pull. The pensions
paid to this horde of sturdy
beggars ard thieves are like
aims given TO alyirg tramp
or like what is stolen by an
applicant for charity who is
left standing in your hall by
a careless servant.
In respect of these pension
ers the pension list is a
roster of mendicancy and
mendacity,

their country these liars and
cheats must be weeded out,

There is much discussion
in our country whether the
primaries should be early or
late. AS for us, we are in
favor of the primary after
crops are laid by, say the
middle of July, The argu-
ment for an early primary is
that there are several can
didates who are not able to
lose a crop. Now, we
want them to make the
crop first, and let that be a
test of one qualification. All
elections are important, but
the next one will be more
far-reaching in it's effects,
than any for quite a while,
hence we need plenty Of time
to think it over.

It is estimated that one Of the huge

100 shots. Each shot will use about

the active life of Is inch gun-which
is 80 feet long, weighs 10 tons and uses
500 pounds of powder to hurl its l, 1000
pound projectile from 10 to IL miles
is just one second long. If this monster
is fired 100 times, it will use up % tons
of powder, at cost of SIT, 900; shoot
100 1. 900 pound projectiles at cost OF
$50, 900 and as the gun costs originally

cred it, too, they threw toga over IT.
The visigoths stuck their gutturals
