that America would not relinquish the

to Spain, which the delegation claimed
would mean recurrence of the revo-

MENELEK HAS TROUBLES.

PARIS, Oct. 15.-Advices from Dji-
boutil say it is believed that the revolt
of Ras Mangascia, the most important
of the Abyssinian chiefs, was engi-
neered by the British.
King Menelik is sending 100000
troops commanded by Ras Makonnen
to put down the instruction, and as
Ras Mangascia has only 10000 troops
at his command it is expected that the
revolt will be easily quelled, despite
British support.

THE OREGON'S POWER.
She Throws Tremendous Weight of
 Metal.

Washington, May 1.-The powers of one of the Oregon's 13-inch guns can be best understood" said one of the ordnance officers of the navy to- day, when it is explained that if a shot could be fired directly beneath the Spanish armored cruiser Vizcaya at distance of 3,100 feet, the striking energy would be sufficient to lift that ship and everything on board of her two and a half feet in the air.
 "The main battery of the Oregon hurls 6,6S0 pounds of steely projectiIes at one discharge; one of her 13-inch guns sends 1 LOO pounds of metal hurt ling through the air at the rate of 3,100 feet per second. The striking energy of the projectile at the mug gle is 33,600 foot tons; that is to say, it is equal to the force created by nine forty-ton locomotives running at the rate of a mile a minute"
 It is because of the power of the Oregon's guns that no anxiety is felt for her safety. She is fit to cope with all the Spanish cruisers which are said to be after her. Besides, the Buffalo is armed with two dynamite guns, each capable Of throwing 800 pounds of dynamite a distance of two and a half miles. The Marietta is of no account as a fighter, but the Or egon and Buffalo are quite capable Of looking after her as well as them selves.

AT WASHINGTON HOTELS.

Whether the young German em- peror is following the progress of oul i war with view to sizing up the stam- ina and skill of a country he may want some day to fight or just to gratify his own martial penchant l cannot say" remarked MT. Howard GOmert of New York at the Normandie. "But, aside from that, happen to know that if he shows the sentiment common to the great mass of his sub jects any account that tells of disaster to the United States will be very agree able news to the kaiser. I know this by reason of a late sojourn in Germany. The newspapers almost without exception are strongly anti American. The unofficial organs, as we'll as the papers that represent the government, are unfriendly and show their hatred in every article.
 Why this is so I cannot state, but it is fact One would suppose, as I had, that Germans would be friendly They are almost as near to us racially as the English and in national charc- teristics the resemblance is great. When Frenchmen snarl we do not mind, for we know it's because of their large ownership of Spanish bonds; when Italians fume and de- nounce it is because of their half brotherhood to the Spaniards. We don't care a coppsr, either, for them or the French, neither are we going to lose any sleep over Germans sour ness, but of her WE might have expect ed better things.
 ''The bright spot in the whole Eu- ropean bunch is enough to SOlace us for the rest, and that spot is England. Old Albion is with us, and the kick CTS can keep on kicking for all the good it will do them.

ABOUT THE PURITAN.
Finest Fighter in the Navy. Her Men
 and Officers All Agree.

New York, May 17.-One of the warrant officers of the United States monitor Puritan, which is with tho blockading squadron of Cuba, gives in A letter to a friend in this city some interesting observations on the Puritan's work.
 "We are all convinced" he writes, "that the Puritan, under the proper circumstances, is the finest fighting boat in the navy; bul she has her re- strictions. There is no question about the high defensive qualities of the monitor type for harbOr work. Our low freeboard makes us small target for the enemy, and our 12-inch guns make us very dangerous to an en- emy. Captain Harrington and Lieu tenant Commander J. Russell Self ridge have worked our crew into fine condition, and there is no question as to the loyalty of the men or their skill with the big guns. Our low free board. however, precludes any possi- bility of our coaling at sea with safety, and as our coal capacity is compara- lively small, unless lee is afforded, so that the monitor may open up her deck scuttles with safety, we must return to coaling station. Such was the case off Matanzas, where there Is an open sea to windwaTd and no pro lection. The Puritan did good work at Matanzas, as you probably know, and our guns were very effective. l notice that some of the newspapers commented on the fact that our fire was slow. That was according to or ders to prevent waste of ammunition. We didn't want the gun captains to throw away shots carelessly in their first brush. Everything on board moved like clockwork, and our men behaved splendidly."

feeling in the entire island, outside of San Juan, is one of hostility to Spain, and the capture of the island by this country will be welcomed by the better class of residents. Robert H. Todd, the secretary of the junta, said last night: 'The Porto Ricans have only been waiting for a favorable opportun- ity to throw off the yoke Of Spain. Personally, I am in favor Of the inds- pendence of the island, but the. ma iority of merchants and planters, to my knowledge, prefer annexation to the United States. They fear an in dependent republic would soon become like Hayti and San Domingo, and as sert that the property interests Of the island would be safer under the wing of this country.
 "Of course- I cannot advocate any thing of the kind. The Junta has been for wears working for the independ- ence of Porto Rico and we shall con tinua on the same line. If the United States takes possession of the islands, however. we shall raise no objection. 1 "Hundreds of Porto Ricans who are revolutionists have been obtaining
