 lies, with sands like the driven snow. When the mighty hulls of the battleships-the nation s strength and pride And the ghost-lke little torpedo boats are
 lying side by side; When all is still save the screaming gulls. as
 they circle high o'erhead, When naught is heard on the steel-bound decks
 save the watchers measured tread, When far to windward a tiny cloud floats up
 from the grim old fort. Then the piercing scream of a shrapnel shot,
 and the ten-ton guns report. Then arnored decks are alive with life. and the calls to quarters blow; Then the gun crews stand beside their guns
 and the stokers sweat below Then the jingling bells in the engine room clamor and call for speed. And the thousand tons of hardened steel shake
 like a wind-tossed reed Now the guns of the fort are belching flame
 and the shot and shell fall fast Now three are down by the forward gun, and
 six in the fighting mast; Now the ships rush on in majesty while the
 gunners hold their breath And pray to their God to spare them still
 from the harbors hidden death. Now a string of futtering signal flags from
 the bridge of the flagship fly. Now the Gatlings. rapids and tweve-inch guns
 with crashing peal reply; Now the smoke hangs low OCT the shot-torn
 wave dark death turks in the air. And never word by the guns is said, while
 they spit and boom and flare. The fleet steams up in battle array, and the
 broadsides crash and roar. While the rumble and rip from the enemy s guns reply from the smoke hung shore; The once white decks run red with blood
 while the surgeons work below. And fort and fleet, with shot and shell, pay
 back each blow for blow At last flag of truce is raised, and gleams through the drifting smoke, And the havoc and wreck of a gun is seen where a ten-inch shrapnel broke: At last the guns of the fleet still, and from far and near Are heard the shouts of a victors crew as they answer cheer with cheer. The shrill call of the bo'sn's mate the crew from quarters pipes And the dead stretched on the quarter deck, wrapped in the Stars and Stripes; While the setting sinks in the west. a
 blazing ball of fire, Lighting the scene of battle fought, and

OUR CUBAN ALLIES.

We are now getting some practical ex- perience of the effectiveness of our Cu- ban allies-the people we went to war for.
 Upon the whole, they present an agree able surprise. We were prepared to find them untrained and undisciplined, and so they are to the lamentable extent of handling rifles in manner dangerous to the lives of their American friends and filling the ground full of holes.
 On the other hand, the Cubans seem them, are amenable to discipline, eager to fight, sufficiently brave, and have such a whole-souled hatred for the Spanish as to compensate for the many lacking quail ties of the ideal soldier. It must be re- membered, too, that for the first time in years these refugees are now properly fed and thoroughly equipped.
 Taking all this into consideration there seems good prospect that in fighting side by side, or at least, in harmony and sympathy, with steady, well seasoned troops and with Knowledge that power and wealth are at last actually behind them, the insurgent force may prove to be a very valuable adjunct to our con quest of Cuba.-New York Herald.

THE ALASKAN TRADE.

HE arrival of the first company of Klondike
 miners of the season at Seattle bringing with
 them several hundred thousand dollars worth of gold will have the effect of recalling to the de- velopment of the rich resources of Alaska the public attention which of late has been distracted by the war.
 While it is by no means desirable that there should be renewal of the Klondke craze it will certainly be of advantage all parts of the Pacific Coast to have full consideration given to the possibilities of the country along the Yukon. We have there promising field for remunerative industry and large commerce, and it Is gratifying to learn from the reports of the returning miners that the promise IS not likely to prove a deceptive
 According to the statements made by the men who have come straight from the gold fields the estimate made by correspondent, Sam w. Wall, that the output of the Kondike for the season would be in the neighborhood of $28ooo,ooo, is correct They report comparatively few bonanza strikes but that the average output of the claims has been sufficiently remunerative to make the further exploitation of the region a safe venture for those who are strong in dustrious and enterprisng. This gives reasonable assurance to the hopes of those who contemplate undertaking the enterprise this year. and also con- firms the belief that in the gold fields we shall find a market of increasing profit for our manufacturers and merchants.
 Whatsoever advances any portion of the Pacific Coast is directly beneficial to California, the chief center of the population of the coast, and to San Francisco its commercial and financial metropolis Tn the development of the resources of the vast ter rtory of Alaska lie of the best possibilities of our trade This is the outhttng point for the people who go to Alaska and the best depot of supplies for the country. Our interests in the Yukon gold fields are therefore great and in more ways than one we shall find profit for ourselves in the gold dust and nuggets the newly returned miners have brought with them as proof of the richness of the Kondike placers.

Washington. D. C, Nov. ea-There 10 re-
newed talk OF the reorganization OF the
regular army by the present session Of
congress. The general impression seems
to be that the regular army should con-
sist Of 10000 men. and that number viii
no doubt De recommended in the draf; Of
the bill being prepared by the war depart
ment However. there has been advanced
a suggestion which meets with some favor
in military circles. which Is 10 make a
regular standing army OF 75.ooo men and
TO have a provisional army OF S, 100 men,
the latter made up largely Of natives OF
the Islands where the United States must
do garrison duty. These troops could be
oricered from the United States army and
provision made 20 give them Increased
rank and pay while on such duty. Il has
been suggested that lieutenants could be-
come captains and captains majors and
so on to the highest Officer Of a regiment
II IS proposed that the COS, OF maintaining
this provisional army should come out OF
the revenues OF the islands garrisoned. 1t
IS not Intended that the whole garrison
should be made up OF such organizations
OF natives. but thar n sufficient number Of
United States regulars should De at each
important place to maintain order In any
emergency
