The Komet and Meteor, torpedo gun

The Komet of 942 tons was built In 1892
and the Meteor of e46 tons was built in

OF these important books. They are to
be inspected every week by captains of
the ships, and before any officer is allowed
access to them for Institutional purposes
he is to sign an undertaking for their
safekeeping. Officers of watches Will also
be held responsible for handing over the
books to their successors on duty.

A WASTE OF LIFE.

Every hours delay in debating with
the Spanish question is a waste of
human life. Mckinley by his over
caution has enabled Spain to make
the most elaborate preparations for
war. The time has passed to strike
a sharp decisive blow and a long
struggle is now in sight.
1t was Napoleon who said when
he heard that the Chief of Police had
used blank cartridges CD the mob;
"What a waste of human life

ignored the plank in his party plat

Robert Edgrin the newspaper
writer and artist, who spent several
weeks in Carson a year ago, has done
excellent service for humanity by
his startling pictures of the horrors
of the Cuban situation. One of his
latest in the New York Journal repre-
sents four Spanish Generals eating a
luxurious meal while crowds of starv-
ing people watch them through the
grating. Beneath the picture is the
following description:
General Erhesto Aguierre Spanish,
commanding the Province of Santa
Clara, in Cuba, sat down to a luxur-
ious dinner with the officers of his
staff.
The were fat and sleek, these Span
iards, and they enjoyed the delicacies
that we're set before them.
Ten feet away, a group OF some
twenty starving wretches-racks of
skin and bone that had once been men
and women and children thrust their
thin faces up against the iron bars of
the open easement and glared with
wolhsh eyes at every morsel that left
the table. Hands like those of the
mummies ofEsypt were thrust throgh
the grating in p%iteous appeal. A
mother, holding to her breast a boy,
dying of hunger; begged for a crust of
bread.
In a week half that little starving
band would lie in the trenches back of
Mantanzas. To-day, as l write these
lines, they are covered with the red
soil of Cuba, and are free for evermore
from the develishly ingenious cruelty
of their Spanish murderers.
Outside, the starving victims of
Spain, inside, the Spanish officers
feasting and drinking the red wine.
They laughed, these Spaniards.
They joked with merriment.
Aguierre, that fiend whose atrocities
have terrorized the countryside, a1lo "
ed his grim smile to change into a
laugh, and showed his yellow teeth
in an ecstasy of mi-th when his cars
caught the music of a moan. This is
Cuba. Outside, the r-econcentrado

on his plumber.

The growing use of the long
distance telephone throughout the
country is destined to work hard
ships as well as blessings. To
the wholesale and retail mer-
chants it is certainly proving a
great benefit, but on the other
hand is acting disastrously on the
receipts of the railroads, tele-
graph and street car lines. 1t is
also causing lack of revenue in
other interests. It is shown in
many of the large commercial
centers that the vocation of the
commercial traveller is fast dwin-
ding away. The out of town re-
taller and country merchant can
now order daily and keep a fresh
supply of goods without awaiting
the periodical visit of the "drum-
mer" to learn prices and that
'1atest story" This lessening of
the services of the drummer"
has a very disastrous effect on
the country hotels. 1t will also
have more or less effect on the
trade Of the city hotels as the
country merchants will have less
occasion to come to town.

Seems as if all the things we
like disagree with us, and all the
things we don't like, agree with
US. Dyspepsia turks in most of
the good things we eat. and in
digestion follows the qualification
of appetite. OF course, it isn't
natures fault. Nature does the
best she can, and if a man will
only help her a little bit at the
right time, he may eat what be
likes and as much as he likes.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
for people who are troubled with
indigestion. Particularly for
those in whom it manifestS itself
IN the form Of constipation. The
"Pellets" are quick and easy in
their action. They are in perfect
harmony with nature. They
effect a permanent cure. You
need take them regularly only a
little while. After that, use them
occasionally when you need them
when you have eaten anything
that disagrees with you. They
may be taken just as freely as
you would take water or any
other necessity of life. Once used
they are always in favor.
