AS Summer approaches there is
general exodus from the city
to the Seaside, Mountain, and
Country of those whose means
enable them to do so. but there
is another class The children OF
the poor" whose days are spent
looking down alleys where the
sun beams notly all day and the
air from the close rooms of crowd
ed tenements seems to parch the
threats that breathe it. In these
alleys throngs of children gather
whose wan faces and frail bodies
show their great need of pure
fresh air and nourishing food.
When diseases attack them only
the new made mounds in the Gem
eteries tell the sad tale OF the
bitter struggle with poverty.
For six years the Chlldren's fresh
air Society of Baltimore has been
working to alleviate this misery.
People of the city and rural dis
tricts have nobly aided the Soci.
ety's efforts, the city supplying
them money and the country fur
nishing the homes. The chill
dren know very little of those in
the city who freely give to aid
them but their benefactors in the
country are never forgotten.
Childish lips prattle all the year
through, of the good people
in the country" and many weary
mothers life is frightened and
made glad by the happiness
which comes to their children
through the visit to the country.
Anxious little ones are waiting
for the Society to hear from its
friends in the country. IL is the
hope of the Society to gain many
new friends this year in the
towns and villages and informa-
ton regarding the work will be
cheerfully furnished by Miss
Florence Galloway. A West Sara,

The attack on SPANS home

audacious naval exploits in his

fight he ever participated in,
and in which he gained great
victory. 1t will.equal in audaci-
ty Dewey's brilliant victory in
the barber OF Manila at the be-
ginning of the present war.
Watson's demonstration will be
attended with certain mechan-
ical difficulties of which Drake,

a period anterior to two thirds
Of a century ago were ignoranr.
One of these is the necessity
which the American commander

sage to the other side of the At
!antic and its cruise around the
Spanish coast. When the fleet
is returning to this side of the
water it can get coal enough in
neutral countries to allow it to
reach it's nearest home port.
There is chance, of course, that
the American Squadron would
be able to capture some port in
Spain and get coal stock, but
this source of supply would be
unceartin. Another of the diff
culties which the old naval war
riors knew nothing of was the
chance Of break or disarrange-
ment in the delicate and elabor-
ate machinery which the warship
of to-day possesses. Ifsuccess-
fully carried out, Watson's exploit
can't fail to have important con-
sequence. In double sense 1t
will bring the war near home to
the Spanish people than it has
been thus far. The sound of the
American cannon at some of
SPANS chief ports and the sight
of the American Flag waving. if
only for afew hours, over Spain's
Notifications, would expose the
hollowness Of that governments
war promises and boasts, and
would rouse a cyclone of rage
and modification which would
sweep from the Pyrenees to the
Mediterranean, and would over
throw the Ministry and the dy-
nasty. No government could
live a day which would permit
that indignlty to be perpetrated
on Spain. Montojo and Blanco
could call Spanish defeats Span
ish victories, for they are on the
other side of the earth, and are
thus in a position to delude the
populace in the peninsula, put
the crashingo OF American cannon
in front of Spanish coast towns,
and the spectacle of victorious
American war vessels in Spanish
harbors would tell story of
Spanish humiliation which no
amount of mendacity or agility
could deny or dodge. An up

Something About The Islands Captured BY
Uncle San Last Week.

or Mariana islands are OF no
great Importance, but as q coal
ing station they would be lnvalu.
able should the American gov.
ernment decide to extend its
sphere of influence in the east.
The area Of the whole group, com.
prising 90 small islands. is about
All square miles. The chief is
lands are Guahan, Rota, Aguijan,
Sypan and Tinian. The capital,
a town OF about 5000 inhabitants
is in the island of Guahan.
AS usual. the rule of Spain
proved fatal to the natives, and
but few of the inhabitants of the
islands are pure descendants OF
the aborigines. Those remain.
ing are a gentle. doci.e race,
fond of amusement, and when
not Christians are believers in a
species of Shintoism, or ancestral
worship. They live in rude
wooden, matched houses and
need not trouble themselves
much about the matter of sub
sistence, as nature provides them
with their simple articles of food
without much labor. Anciently
they were accused othaving loose
views as to personal rights in
property, which is alleged as the
reason that the islands were
named by Magellen's sailors Islas
de los Ladrones" or the islands Of
the thieves. When the Jesults
established a mission there IN
1867, they named the group La
Marianas" in honor of Maria
Anna of Austria, the widow of
Philip ", King of Spain. But
somehow the name Of evil repute
has remained to the islands in
preference to the others.
The Ladrone islands are all
volcanic origin and in the noun
tains are some small active GRAFT
ers yet. The majority of the
islands are densely wooded. The
soil is remarkably fertile, and
rice, corn, sugar, tobacco, cotton
and indigo are produced. Bread
fruit, bananas and cocoanuts are
also grown in perfection. The
climate is salubrious, and the
great heat is tempered by the
winds. Horses and other domes.
tic animals introduced by the
run wild in some of
the islands.
Though well within the torrid
zone being included between the
thirteenth and twenty.first de-
grees of north latitude, the is
lands would not be unsuited for
colonization by Americans. White
people soon become acclimatized
there and the charm of beauty of
those tropical verdant isles soon
grow on them.
Guahan, the largest of the La
drones lies north of the Carolines
and more directly in the line of
traffic between the United States
and the Philippines. Hong Kong
aud Japan. 1t is about $500 miles
from Honolulu. not quite 1900
from Manila, 1900 from Yoko-
hama and /, 600 from Hong Kong.
The value of such a place to the
American government as a coal
ing station and port of call, re-
fuge and repair it would be diff.
cult to overestimate.
The Ladrones have not proved
source of revenue for the Span
iards. 1t is needless to state that
the administration of public af-
fairs is corrupt and that nothing
fourishes but excessive taxation
which in the case of these islands
has diminished the revenue it
was intended to increase.
Span has an immense sinking
fund caused FROM the late war
with Uncle Sam.
