ON CUBAN SOIL.
Crew From the BIockading Squadron
Makes Landing.

On board the flagship New York, off
Havana, April 26.-The only vessel spo-
ken yesterday was the British schoon-
er IOlanthe, of Windsor, N. s. She was
allowed to proceed. She was just out
of Matanzas. No shots have been fired
since Sunday morning on either side.
The Dolphin and the converted yacht
Eagle have arrived from Key West.
The Dolphin carried the officers and
prize crews who had been placed on
the steamer Pedro and the schooner
Antonio. All were glad to get lack,
although they said they had had no
trouble with their prizes.

ing trip into the shore under cover of

mont her commander landed with
small party and obtained valuable in
formation. The blockade continues I'M
der beautiful weather conditions
The flagship returned to the blockade
line about $50 o'clock last evening aft
er an uneventful trip. Nothing of i'm
portance apparently had occurred dur
ing her absence. When darkness came
on last night, MORO Castle showed a
powerful search light, and flashed it
nervously around the horizon. Anoth-
er search light also was seen. 1t look
ed to be from the direction of the Santa
Clara batteries, to the westward of Ell
Moro. The search light itself could
not be distinguished, only it's rays be-
ing visible This is due either to the
extremely low position of the light or
to its distance from the blockade line.
The MORO light is placed higher and is
an excellent light
Last night was the first time the
search lights have been used What
benefit they will be to the Spaniards no
one knows. They may possibly induce
the batteries to expend some more am
munition in futile shots at the squad
ron. but the blockade continues as be-
fore search lights or no searchlights, as,
of course they do not reach far enough
to show our ships.
If any ships ran the blockade they
will have to run a gauntlet of vigilance
that has never been surpassed. The
alertness of the officers and men con-
tinues at the same pitch as was ex-
hibited the first night the squadron ar
rived. Admiral Sampson is more hand
icapped in his blockade then were nav
al commanders during the civil war.
In many cases they were able to an
Choir, while Admiral SIMPSONS fleet is
obliged to drift around in a two knot

steamer which has attempted to enter
Havana since the blockade began has
been captured.

FIRST NAVAL BATTLE.
Is Expected to Take Place Off
the Philippines.

Chicago Ill, April ga special to the
Times-HeraId from Washington says: "
Navy department officials confidently
expect that within three days decisive
battle will have been fought between the
American and Spanish naval forces oper-
ating in the waters of Philippines.
1t is learned from most reliable source
that Commodore Dewey's squadron, which
left Hong Kong Sunday for Mrs bay, has
now left that place for the Philippine ISL
ands under instructions sent several days
ago by Secretary Long. Steaming at the
rate of ten knots an hour, the fiotilla
ought to reach its destination by this aft
ernoon, and it is expected by Secretary
Long and other department officials that
the vessels will be in action Immediately
after. their arrival unless the Spanish
rnen-of-war should prefer to remain inside
the mined harborS.
OF primary Importance, the officials de-
clare is the immediate capture or de-
struction of Spanish vessels. After this
has been accomplished it will not be a
difficult mater to accomplish the fall of
Manila or Luzon or of other ports by
simply conducting a blockade, such as
the North Atlantic squadron is doing with
reference to Cuban ports 1t is under
stood that Commodore Dewev's MAN of
campaign contemplates the capture or de-
struction of tie Spanish fleet; There are
six of these craft, none of which is to be
compared to the protected cruisers of the
American squadron.
squadron, it is appreciated that he will
not have sufficient vessels to carry on a
blockade which will last any length of
time. He will. however, be able to
blockade the principal ports in which the
Spanish troops are stationed, and the in
surgents in the island will probably give
him assistance by contributing their land
operations. Altogether, naval experts say
that Commodore DeweyS task is the east
est of those which have been assigned to
any flag officer.
Upon but one point are officials uneasy.
This relates to the continuance of cable
communication between Commodore
Dewey and the United States. There is
a Spanish cable line connecting Hong
Kong and the Philippines. and it may be
found necessary to cut the cable in order
to prevent the Spanish forces from cabling
their government the condition of affairs
in the island.
1t is appreciated by the authorities that
as Spain can send no reinforcements to
the east, it will do the Spaniards very lit
tie good to know what is going on in the
far east, but for prudential reasons it is
believed that Commodore Dewey should
hasten to get the cable under his control
rapidly as possible.
It is supposed at the department that
he has made all necessary preparations
to cut the cable and to keep possession of
the end connecting him with Hong Kong,
and with an operator on board his ship
he will be able to communicate with the
department as often as shall be necessary.

Toronto, April 26.-Lieut. Carransea,
of the suite of Senior Polo Bernabe,
was seen today relative to the report
that he had challenged Captain Sigsbee
of the Maine to fight a duel The lieu

said he had sent his challenge and that
if he does not receive an answer from
Captain Sigsbee by the 2Sth, he will
brand him as a coward. Should Cap

then challenge Consul General Lee.

Rate for Volunteer Troons.

Chicago, April 26.-The western roads
will, in the near future, take up the
question of making a rate for the
transportation of volunteers to the seat

AUDAZ WAS FOXY.
She Sailed a Course Intended to De-

New York, April Pa dispatch to the
World from Queenstown says: The Span
ish torpedo boat Audaz, which steamed
out of the harbor Monday, sailed course
evidently intended to battle the authori-
ties here.
First she shaped a due westerly course
for ten miles, then she turned southeast
erly for about five miles.
When she disappeared below the hori-
ION she was going due south.
Admiral Lake, who is in command of
this station, had a long interview with
the captain of the Audaz and conveyed
to him intimation from the admiralty
that if the AudaZ did not leave within
twelve hours she would be detained until
the end of the war.
The Audaz was all ready for sea this
time with the exception of a few slight
repairs, which she took artifcers to sea
with her to complete.
The admiralty officers allowed her to
take only 120 tons of coal, just enough to
carry her to Cadiz, which the captain
said was her destination

AN tNLUCKY RING,

\ curious story comes all the way
from Madrid in explanation of the mis-
fortunes which have afflicted the roval
house of Spain. 1t appears that at the
root of the mischief is a fatal ring of
quite medieval deadliness. The late
King Alphonso MI gave it to his
cousin Mercedes when he was bctrothed
to her. and she wore it during the
whole of her short married life. On
her death the King presented it to his
grandmother, the Queen Christina
She died very soon after, when it was
passed along to the Kings sister, the
Intanta del Pillar, who at once began
to sicken and in few days breathed her
last. AIpbonso then handed it to his
sister-in law, Christina, the youngest
daughter Of the Duke of Montpensier,
but in three months she also died His
majesty now resolved to retain the
fateful jewel in his own keeping, but
he, too, soon fell victim to its mys-
terious malignancy. BY order of the
widow it was suspended 10y chain
around the neck of the statue of the
Maid of Almudcna, the patron saint of
Madrid.

LANGUAGE OF THE EYE.

No part of the human countenance
engages our attention so frequently as
the eyes. When face to face in con-
versation, we do not look at the lips
although, as 4 rule, the attention is
very quickly taken by any movement,
but at the eyes ofthe person with whom
we are speaking. So much is this the
case that the habit of many deaf people
of watching the mouth always strikes
us rs peculiar. In fact, one usually
feels that there is a sense of incom-
pleteness in the association of mind
with mind 10y means of conversation,
if there is not continual interchange
of glances, making kink of commen-
tary on the words spoken. The same
may be said Of ordinary greetings,
when two people shake hands; unless
there is at the same moment meet
ing of friendly looks, the ceremony
loses much of its meaning.
Now, why is there this continual
meeting of eyes accompanying all
kinds of human intercourse Partly,
no doubt, it is attributable to certain
habits of comparatively recent date.
The eye, "the window of the SOUL" is a
more truthful exponent of the inward
thoughts than the tongue, and, seeing
that speech is very frequently used
not to tell the thoughts, but to conceal
them, we look to the eye for confrma-
tion or the reverse of what Our ears
are takinu in.

HONEYBEE'S ACTIVE LIFE.

a contributor to the Denver Repub-
A,a4 who has two big apiaries on his
ranch near San Diego, Cal, gives in
brief an account of a honeybee's rest
less life:
"A hive or stand of bees contains
the queen, the drones and the workers,
a total population Of from 10000 to
$4,000 bees. This very good sized
colony resides in a hive or wooden
box. In the hive are dozen frames
l3 10y inches. In these the bees
make or deposit the honey,a a founda-
tion Of wax having been first placed in
each frame by the beekeeper, so that
the bees may have something to build
upon. The honey is taken out of the
frames every other week during the
honey season. The queen is an abso-
lutte monarch within her dominions.
She is the undisputed boss of the job.
An ordinary bee lives during the
working season only IS Gays. Young
ones are being hatchcd out all the time.
\ bee goes to work at the tender age
of3 days and hustles like veteran for
~ days. Then it is just naturally all
tired out, | suppose, for it dies. The
queen lives longer, and when a young
queen comes into existence in the hive
she drives the old queen Cnt. Her
loyal subjects follow her in banishmcnt.
and that is what makes the swarm"

NEGROES AS SOLDIERS.

The report of the commanding Off
GERS of our army whenever fighting
has occurred in which the negro troops
have been engaged do justice to the
valor of the colored soldier. When
Rooscvclt's Rough Riders made their
gallant charge in the face of an am
bush the courage of the colored fight
ers composing the Tenth Calvary was
looked upon as wonderful. And after
the Spaniards had been forced back
the Rough Riders turned and cheered
the colored troopers, and the latter re-
piled with cheers for the Rough Rid
crs. Regiments Of immunes are need
ed to fight in the yellow fever district,
and in number of the Southern states,
especially along the Mississippi belt,
colored men have promptly offered
their services in greater numbers, ap-
parently, than hare been required. 1t
IS the testimony of the officers of the
negro regiments in the Civil War that
they were good fighters and faithful
and obedient soldiers. They seem to
be singularly protected against the
dangers of yellow fever and other trop-
ical diseases, and those that have gone
to the war in the Santiago campaign
have done the lest kind of work and re-
ceived the highest praise. A contention
has arisen as to whether negro soldiers
should fight under white or colored Of
flicers They have done their best
service undr white officers. We can
imagine that jealousies and differences
might arise if negroes were put in
command Of colored troops, while
white officers would command the
same respect that colored men ordina-
rily yield to the white in civil life.
When the credit is given to the brave
boys who were fighting in the war
with Spain, we are sure that good
part of it will deservedly fall to the
lot OF the negro troops.-Leslie's
Weekly.
