BITTER AGAINST UNITED STATES.
Russian and German Press Belittle
Our Naval Warfare.

Onr Naval Warfare.
London. July 1.-The press Of ali the
continental cities Is most actively dis
cussing the prospects of peace, propa-
eating various rumOrs to the general
effect that the negotiations are all to
very little profit.
The Russian papers are very bitter
against the United States. The St.
Petersburg Novosti characterizes the
destruction Of Admiral Cervera's fleet
as brutal slaughter" and accuses the
Americans of employing Some kind of
new explosive machine or bomb, con-
trary to International law"
The busiest discussion of all, so far
as America is concerned, occupies the
German papers. Their tone is much
milder since Ambassador Whites
Fourth of July speech at Leipsic, but
the papers are unable to refrain from
their belittling criticisms of the Ameri-
can army.
The National Zeitung, however. pub
fishes serious and interesting article
on the naval aspects of the war, and
draws the conclusion that the import
ance of machinery has been fully
demonstrated. 1t says: THE Span
iards were decimated by the superior
quick firing guns of the Americans.
The battle of Santiago has shown that
only machine guns and accurate shoot
ing are Of any account in modern ma

An Election Arrest.

A man clsiming to be Alex. Smith
was arrested by Chief Lockhart shortly
after IL a. M, on order from Eli. C ion
Judge Bovee at the ward 4 polls. This
man IS mi b" held reei tra alton certif-
cate No. 654. nd said he lived at 403
North Ell Paso str. ct Now, as it
happens, MIR. Bovee lives in that self
same house, and knew Immediately
that the voter was not telling the
truth So he lied Chief Lockhart
and had the fellow arrested. How
ever, Smith had sworn in his vote,
ere he was led away.
There is another interesting feature
to this curious business. The real
Alex. Smith does lives at Mr.. Bovee's
house, and NJ. Bovee says he came to
this city from Michigan last October,
and both Mr. B wee and Oh srles Stew
ems allege that Smith was registered
at tne immedi ate instance of Chief OF
Police LO .khart who retained the GER
tifcate. Now, just why this certificate
was so retained, and how it travelled
around until it found Judgement in the
poke. of the man who was arrested,
will BE- brought out in the hearing.

Government Coal Supply.

Before the war board of the navy
department is one of the oldest maps
ever mp Dyed in a military campaign.
The Gulf of Mexico, the South Allan
tic coast, the West Indies AID the line
of Cer trial and South America front pg
on the Caribbean is own. Upon the
map is located every ton of coal in
stock today. In this era of mighty
steam-making for naval operations
coaing is vital point. Not the least
inters sting fact about this map is the
auth rship Prof Proc'o~, CHARM In
of the civil service comm IS on, is
student Of all that pertains to coal.
Some months ago he gave a lecture on
the new re ATOMS OF coal supply to war
making. When the Cuban question
began to develop its most serious
phase, the president cal ed IN Frof
Proctor for the inform 1t on he Il d
gathered. The map was made.
There are two sides to the coal ques
ton. One is the provision for the
American navy The other is the blow
which must be struck at SPANS sup
ply. For weeks the American consuls
at the Bermudas, the Bahamas, jana
lea, San Dom lingo and other ports con-
venient to the scenes of expected ope-
rations have been buying coal and put
ting it upon chartered schooners
and other craft. The laden
shin ride at anchor in the neut- al
por is, waisirg the time when the ca
goes will be wanted for the bunkers of
American war vess Is. This coal is
safe from seizure. l. is af vat ard not
coptraband. 1t can be drawn uron
VIII esired. The amount thus stor-
ed for the emersenc! is in the thou
sands of tons. That is one side of the
coal question. Now for the other.
The map Ssiows where Spain has
coal supplies Again and again the
statement has beer made that Schley
and the flying squadron will go to Porto
Rico when the demonstration begins.
That is true. But the purpose of the
squadron is not to reduce ports. It is
20 seize and cnn6s cate or destroy eve Y
ton of coal which could be utilize d by
Spain. At San Juan is stock of "a 900
tons of coal. At Ponce and Mayagnez
are smaller stocks When the flying
squadron leaves Hampton Roads it will
go straight to the Spanish coaling sta
tions one after another ard render
hem valueless. The opening of the
war will be the signal for movement
which will make it impossible for q
Spanish warship to get a ton of coal on
this side of the Atlantic.
