Green brakemen are hard propo-
sitions sometimes" said a conductor
yesterday ''you will find one oc-
casionally who will prove equal to the
emergency in every respect and then
again you will find one who could not
learn the duties of brakeman in q
natural life time. L had an experience
with one recently which 1 will never
forget. He belonged to that class
which requires watching and as it was
night when we left Ell Paso, 1 lost
sleep in watching him. When we
reached a point about 20 miles out of
here told him he could sleep while
would q hot brick.
He had no sooner struck the bed
than he struck up a horrible snore
which could be heard several octaves
above the roar of the train. He was
squarely on his back and l concluded
that was the cause of his snoring.
When we made the next stop
him he could again lie down
and rest but MOTTO lie on his back.
He complied with my request and roll
led over on his right side, but in a few
seconds he again struck up that horri-
BILE noise. 1t was not a musical snore. 1t
lacked the whistle and accompanying
modulations which are usually heard
nerves were all in 8 whirl.
THE next stop we made told him to
sleep on his left side and for heavens
sake not to snore If he could keep from
it. He assured me that he would snore
no more and stretched out on his left
side. l was just about gone into the
sweet forgetfulness of sleep when, mer-
ciful heaven, up went that snore with
force enough to raise the roof off the
car. 1t was not like ashore. 1t sounded
more like pulling an old cat out of e
four-inch pipe by the tail.
81 raised up and looked at him, and it
seemed the longer L locked at him the
louder he snored, and L just tried an
experiment. L picked him up bodily
and stood him on his head in the cor
ner OF she caboose and put the coal box
against him to keep him in that posi-
tion. He stopped snoring Immediate
ly and L went to my bunk and thought
to leave him there just a few minutes.
Here Is where the joke comes in. 1
fell fast asleep and just how long he
remained there L am unable to state,
but when 1 was awakened by the en-
CINE whistle at the next station he
was sleeping on his bunk as silent as a
dead man. He has complained several
times about his neck being sore, but |
can't imagine how that could possibly
be, can you?"

Capt. EVanS's Christianity,

In a recent issue the Williamsport
(Pa.) Index published an article con-
trasting Capt. Philip and Capt. Evans,
somewhat at the expense of the latter.
A copy of the paper was sent to Capt.
Evans, and he took the trouble to reply
to the paper as follows:
81 beg to acknowledge the receipt
today of copy of your paper which
you have been good enough to send to
me.
81 am somewhat at loss to know
whether you cent it to for the purpose
of calling my attention to the cuss
words attributed to me in the news-
papers, or to Captain Philips show OF
Christian spirit in announcing to his
men on the quarter deck of the Texas
after the battle of Santiago that he be-
lieved in Almighty God.
"As, however, you have seen I'll to
hope that you will publish this reply
that those who have read your issue of
July Is may read what l have to say
about it.
81 have never considered it necessary
and l am sure great majority of Off
GERS in the navy do not consider it nee
essary that they believe in Almighty
God. ] think that goes without say
ing.
I'VE, each of us, have the right to
show by our acts how much we are I'M
bued with this belief. Captain Philip
had perfect right to show this to his
men as he did: it was simply matter
of taste.
Now, for myself, shortly after the
cruiser ViZcaya had struck her colors
and my crew had secured the guns, the
chaplain of the ship, an excellent man,
came to me and said: Captain Evans,
shall l say few words of thanks to
Almighty God for our victory?'
81 said, BY all means do SO; will
have the men sent aft for that purpose.
and was on the point of doing so when
it was reported to me that Spanish
bsttleship was standing toward US from
the eastward. My first duty to God and
my country was to sink that ship and l
| Immediately made preparations to dc
| so.
"When it was discovered that this
ship was an Austrian, [ found my ship
/ surrounded by boats carrying dying
and wounded prisoners, and others Of
the crew of the Vizcaya to the number
of 250. To leave these men suffer for
! want of food and clothing while cal
] led my men aft to offer praise was moi
my idea of either christianity or reli-
I giOn. L proceeded to clothe the naked
| feed the hungry and succor the SICK,
| and l am strongly of the opinion thai
| God has not put black mark against
| me on that account. L do not know
whether shall stand with Capt Philip
| among the first chosen in the hereafter
but have this to cay in conclusion
that every drop of blood in my body on
| the afternoon of the third of July was
singing thanks and praise to Almighty
God for the victory we had won.''

No Danger of state Enforcement of
vexatious Qunrantine Restrictions.

NO O0n&er Oh Slate AAhiofcemcnC OF
vexatious Quarantine Restrictions.
Jacksonville, Fla, March 5.-Secretary
Matthews Of the state board OF health
says that If any conflict shall arise between
Florida and the federal authorities over
the enforcement of quarantine on April /,
it win be due to the federal authorities and
not to those of this state. The Florida
state law provides for the enforcement of
quarantine on May !, but as a matter Of
exigency the state board OF health is en-
powered to pass rules that shall have the
force of statute law. AT its last meeting
which was held in January, upon the ad-
vice of Secretary of the Treasury
Gage. acting upon the suggestion Of Sur
geon General Wyman, the state
board of health passed the April
l rule and has since Instructed
its agents at various Florida ports TO en-
force it. Surgeon General Wyman made
the suggestion under the opinion that dam
ger from infection by yellow fever should
be guarded against earlier this year than
last. The Governor of Florida has no ju-
risdiction over the state board of health
further than TO call it together. This may
be done If the circumstances warrant, and
will probably be done II the President so
requests for this state and its officials
have always displayed a liberal acquies-
cence in federal requests, especially in a
matter of extraordinary exigency.
Gov Bloxham when seen at st. Angus
tine, tonight, said that he had heard
nothing from President Mckinley or other
Washington officials relative TO abrogating
restrictions of the state quarantine law,
which goes into effect April 1, so far as
ii applies to naval vessels. He said that
should he receive such a request he would
at once confer with the state health au-
thorities. He declined to anticipate what
such action would be. but there is no pos
sibility of a conflict between the United
States and Florida officials.

PREPARATIONS PRECAUTIONARY.
Army and Navy Officials Do Not Ex-
pect HostIMtfes.

Washington, March 5.-The develop
ments at the stae, war and navy depart
ment, in connection with the Spanish situ-
alton have divided themselves into two
distinct branches. one relating 70 the
Maine court of inquiry and khe other the
natural and necessary steps to place the
naval and military arms of the service on
an efficient basis.
Concerning the court and It's work, the
information reaching the authorities here
is of the most fragmentary character and
the highest naval officials reterate tha,
nothing is at hand to indicate even the
tendencies of the members of the court
from the evidence they have thus far re-
ceiyed
The other general branch of the sub
Ject the activity in the various naval
and military bureaus continues without
reference to the work Of the court of in
quiry. This activity up to the present
time has not taken the form of any
concerted or elaborate plan Of emergency
preparations but has been manifest main
Iy through comparatively minor acts,
which taken together have shown that
the heads of departments were not mac
tive in preparing their branches of the
services for any requirements which it
was possible might be made upon them.
A member of the cabinet stated to-day
that there should be no misunderstanding
or misconstruction of these steps. For in
stance all the manifold movements par
ticularly in the West, of war material, are
declared simply 10 be in execution of plans,
long ago developed by the fortihcations
board for the defense of the coast There
is no concealment of the fact however,
that the administration is impressed with
a sense of duty in putting the two war
branches in the highest state of efficiency
TO meet any emergency. There Is no dis
position to anticipate an emergency, or
to say that any situation will develop
which will call into use the preparations
now on foot. On the contrary the highest
authorities of the navy and military
branches say they do not expect an emer-
gency, but are performing the duty al
lotted TO them of being ready for any re-
suit that may come.
Senior Dubosc, the Spanish charge daft
faires, called at the state department to-
day and had short talk with Judge Day
concerning recent flibustering movements
The department desired to get fuller iufor-
nation than had thus far been obtained
Spains purchase of warships and other
subjects which have attracted much In
terest within the last few days were in no
way referred to.
The departure of Gen. Wilson, chief of
engineers of the war department for the
south, it is admitted, is for the purposebf
inspecting Notifications and river and har-
Dor improvements His trip may extend to

SPAIN SECURES THE SHIPS.
FIVE VESSELS IN ALL KNOWN To
HAVE BEEN BOUGHT.

The BattIeship O'Higgins Described
as a Splendid Warship, and Was
Reing Built for ChiIi-The Two
Vessels Secured in France Coast
Defense VesseIs-The Boats Bought
From the Armstrong; the Amaxo-
MUS and Sister Ship.
London, March 5-Further inquiries
made on the subject confirms the report
eabled yesterday of the sale of the two
cruisers, which the Armstrong; have been
building for Brazil, to Spain.
The inquiries further show that a rep
resentative of the Chilian government has
been in communication with a representa-
tive of the Spanish government for the
sale to Spain of the battleship O'Higgius,
built by the Armstrong; for Chill, and it
is believed that a deal has been practical
ly completed whereby this splendid war
ship passes into Spain's possession.
1t is known the Chihan representative
made definite offer to Spain recently,
but the price was considered too high, and
Spain made a counter-offer. 1t is now
understood that they have come to terms.
The ships which Spain secured in France
are two heavily armored coast defense
vessels which Brazil ordered, and which
have been building at the La seyne works
at Havre.
The statement made in Washington that
the Amazonius, one of the vessels Spain
has purchased from Brazil, has already
left this country for Brazil is incorrect
She is still at the Armstrong works.
