A Tribute to Principal John>G. Lewis.
An interesting occasion yesterday af-
ternoon was a gathering at Webster
school of the members of the board of
education, the supervising principals,
special teachers and all the teachers of
the Webster school district, to honor
the esteemed and long faithful and eff
ficient principal of the school, John G.
Lewis, supervising principal of the
Webster district. The event over which
the reception was devised was the at
tainment by Mr.. Lewis of his fortieth
anniversary as principal of Webster
school, and in recognition of the valu-
able work he has done for the district
during almost half century, the SUI
perintendent of schools, Mr. Kendall,
and the teachers of Webster district,
prepared a delightful surprise for the
veteran teacher, whose powers and
usefulness the long years of service
have in no wise been diminished.
One of the most interesting events of
the afternoon was the presentation of
a handsome Morris chair to the honor
guest from the superintendent, the
special teachers and the teachers of
the district.
Mr.. Fifield, supervising principal of
Eaton district, most fittingly made the
presentation. Mr.. Kendall also favor
ed the audience with excellent words.
Among the guests were the postmas-
ter, Mr.. Howarth; Mr.. Lewis pastor,
the Rev. DR.. Smyth, and that nestor of
our school promoters, Maier Zunder.
Refreshments were served during the
afternoon.
Mr.. Kendall said in his remarks: II

Lewis on account Of his long, faithful
and efficient services in New Haven
public schools

The Streets of Seoul.

Streets, with minimum width of 80

replaced the foul alleys which We're
breeding grounds of cholera. Narrow
lanes have been widened, Shiny runlets
have been paved, roadways are no Ion

scorch along broad, level streets, ex-
press wagons are looming in the near

the building of "a French hotel i'll fine

been erected in numbers, an order for

cannot but be realized by every ,.,or@.lt
full voter that failure to eie, !, Re
publican majority in the next house

as Reputation of the course of the adj

make her more arrogant than ever and
months might elapse before the ar
rangements for peace could be con-

No one can gainsay the fact that such
would be the result of failure of the
American people to sustain the admin

do not let it be said that by your votes
you helped to "darken the councils of

The Democratic state central COM
mittee has given up the fight for the
state ticket and are bending all their
energies to pulling the fusion candidates
for congress through in the Second,
Sixth, Eighth and Ninth districts. The
other candidates for congress have been
told that they must hustle for them
selves and all that the committee can do
will be done in the so.called doubtful
districts" It is well for the Republi-
cans to be on their guard in these dis
tricts. In the Sixth district it is stated
upon the best of authority that certain
railroad company which has branch
line in the district, has issued orders
that the men in its employ in the dis
trict must vote against Lacey. An Of
ficer of the road in question is authority
for the statement and he said that with
the men employed on the line and in
mines controlled by the company there
were 400 votes that Lacey would lose.
How do the voters of the district like
the prospect Of railroad company mix
ing in the politics Of their district and
debating to its employees how they shall
vote?

the war could be carried on. Remember
that the majority OF these same mem
beers of congress voted against nearly
every measure that was intended to as
sist the administration in the conduct of
the war, and then put themselves almost
unanimously on record as opposing the
annexation of Hawaii.
Who are they who "darken the coun-
ellis of the republic at this hour?'
Remember that there are mon who
are running for congress in the state of
Iowa on the Democratic ticket who have
declared since the campaign commenced
that the annexation Of the Hawaiian
Islands was "highway robbery" and
that the course of the administration in
firmly demanding that Spain shall give
up the possessions taken from her by
the valor of American arms, is s'throw-
ing aside the assumed mask of war for
humanity and reaching out for more
territory that the corporations and trusts
may fatten upon new countries under
the protection of the American flag"
Don't you know that such men would

The Boy. They Left Behind Them.

The bugle's CALL the drummer's beat,
Give warning of their coming;
They swing adown the roaring street.
Where every heart is drumming,
And cheeks are pale. and eyes are wet,
With ready tears to blind them;
We cheer. we weep, we can't forget
The boys they left behind them.
By Porto Ricos shining strand.
On Cuba's isle of beauty,
With Otis and his gallant band
They heed the call of duty;
On cot of pain. in fever camp
Wherever fate's assigned them
They bear the true heroic stamp
The boys they left behind them.
BY far Manila's moaning tide,
Where Cuban rains are weeping.
In lonely hummocks. side by side.
Our hero boys are sleeping;
Wide scattered they-on northern coast.
On southern hills you'll find them;
We. weeping. greet the living host
For those they left behind them.

III Were You.

If I a little girl could be-
Well. just like YOU
With lips as rosy, cheeks as fair,
Such eyes of blue and shining hair.
What,do you think I'd do?
I'd wear so bright and sweet a smile.
I'd be so loving all the while.
Id be so helpful with my hand.
So quick and gentle to command.
You soon would see
That every one would turn to say,
"'T'is good to meet that child today!"
Yes. yes. my bird. that's what I'd do
Ii l We're you.
Or, If / CHANGED to be boy,
Like some l know,
With crisp curls sparkling in the sun
And eyes all beaming bright with fun
All, If could be so
I'd strive and strive with all my might
To be so true. SO brave. polite.
That III me each one might behold
A hero-as in days of old
'Twould be a JOY
To hear one. looking at me, say.
my cheer and comfort all the day.
Yes. il were a boy l know
/ would be so.

Sir, the reunited sections of the Union stand a wall of iron between the nation S honor and. if need be. all the world; stand wall of fire between the stricken Cubans and any further hurt from Spain We want no other warrant for our act of war than the cruel, the heartless story of the Spaniard in America. From the coming of CorteZ and PiZarro to the going of .Weyler-three centuries of brutality irradiated only by the pirates lust for each succeeding captain-general has seemed to emulate AlVe as rival of Satan by seeking. a second immortality of damnation. Before such an array, his torical and contemporary, the true Ameri- can neither consuts his geography nor same in Massachusetts and in Mississip- pi, and whether the band plays "Yankee Doodle" or Dixie is all one to him Assuming that in ordinary times it takes but few months and change of raj ment to convert typical Vermonter into a typical Texan, it has taken but a few weeks to impress upon the reunited sec tions of the Union the truth that we are the most homogeneous people on the face of the globe: that such differences as ex- ist among us are local and external. and not skin deo~ and, along with this les son. to reawaken in all hearts Decatur's $ ringing words:

WILL CAPTURE
 CUBAN PORTS
Plans Completed for the Invasion of the
 Island.
Insurgents Will Be Near By to Aid the Forces Sent by the
 United States.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April 27.-The Wash ington correspondent of the Herald sends the following: Within three days the North Atlantic squadron will strike a blow at Cuban port, which will result in the seizure of an Amer ican base of operations. On high au- thority I learned to-day that Satur- day has been determined upon as the day of attack, and the insurgents are collecting in the neighborhood of the port to be captured, for the purpose of aiding the men-of-war in its prompt reduction. All the necessary plans have been perfected, and the authori- ties have high hopes that they will be executed without much loss of life.
 In order to facilitate the work of the forces operating against the port se- lected, plans have been completed, as the Herald stated this morning, for making a demonstration either upon Havana or some other point which will draw the attention of Captain General Blanco. and with that officer and his troops occupied in defending the sup posed point of attack @ second division of the fleet will be bomparding the port which will be taken, and under the fire of it's guns 20O0 marines and a number or blue packets will be landed.
 Nineteen thousand insurgents are ex- pected to aid in securing the evacuation or equalization of the Spanish troops defending Havana when that point Is attacked. It is generally understood that the army of 15,000 men which will be sent to the port proposed, after it has been taken, will at once fortify the place and through them arms and am munition will be sent to the insurgents. In addition, 1 understand a num- Der of large field guns will be sent to Cuba, and when the assault on Havana is commenced, the guns will be mounted on commanding elevations and will aid the American men-of- war in smelling the city.
 Concerning the details of their plans, the authorities are secretive, and be- yond admitting that the expedition is in contemplation, they will say noth- ing. The troops which will take part in the expedition are those at Tampa, Mobile and New Orleans. There are 5000 men at each of these points. Army transports have been collected in the gulf, and there will be sufficient num- Der handy to take the troops when the word is given to move after the Cuban port has been captured.

THE DEAD. James Miller. Ernest Marshall. Luther Marshall. Charles Miller. Ernest Jennings. Guy Fagen. Joe JoSephs. Charles Cole. Henry Butler. Ed GilIeran.
0 ooooooooooooooooS 6 c oo

SANTA CRUZ. April 27.-Eleven bodies of those killed in the powder mill explosion are in the undertaking parlors of Wessendorf & Staffler. The corpse of Ed Gilleran, who was killed by fallinu roc'-. and that of Guy Fa- gen are the only ones which have been identified. The identification of any of the others is an impossibility, as they are horribly blackened and charred. The names of only ten are known, the eleventh body not having been claimed.
 The known dead are James Miller, the foreman of the Government smokeiess powder and the six boys employed in this mill with him-Ernest Marshall, Luther Marshall, Charles Miller, Ernest Jennings, Guy Fagen and Jo Josephs- the last three had worked in the mills Cnly two days. The two carpenters who were killed were Charles Cole and Henry Butler, who were at work on the outside of the vacuum dry house, and Ed Gilleran, killed by a falling rock while on his way home.
 The wounded are: Mrs. Margaret Worden. cut by flying glass while leav- ing her home; Dr w II. Congdon, struck on back by flying rock while emerging from a cottage in the village; Mark Connolly, bruised back broken arm and injured internally; Michael Noon, two horrible gashes on head; Joe Fritz who was near the coal house, cut on head from a flying piece of coal; Thomas Sutton, gash on head from fall ing timber; c. B. Req, knocked on back of head by a rock and in the fall left elbow dislocated; John Nelson, car penter, cut on the forehead and his arm fractured.
 It is safe to say the first mill that ex- ploded was the vacuum dry house. Then the Government SmokeleSs for big guns, cannon powder, shotgun smokeless and Handley mill caught from flying sparks The gun-cotton store house and the shotgun smokeless store house, in which was stored gun cotton also, went next. The last and heaviest ex- plosion destroyed the nitro -glycerine store house. It contained one ton of nitro -glycerine.
 These mills were all situated on the east side of the creek. The scene this morning was one of desolation and waste What was not demolished by the explosion as destroyed by fire and over a tract of five acres on this fiat all that remains are ashes and the pieces of machinery which are scattered over the ground.
 Where the vacuum dry house stood and also the nitro -glycerine store house are two immense excavations. They are twenty feet deep and the shape of a cone. The soft dirt is scattered all over, several feet deep, and on top are timbers and the branches of trees.
 The coal house, which was near the srnokeIess. is burned to the ground.
 A large amount of wood was burned 1000 cords of powder wood and 800 cords of redwood The boiler was ruined.

GROWS MORE HOSTILE Wild Rumors at Paris of Interference by
 Germany. Newspapers Declare the Kaiser Will Send a Fleet to
 Manila. English Editor Ridicules the War Preparations of the United
 States.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, April 27.-The newspapers here are publishing a series of wild stories. According to one of them, Ger many has protested against the block ade of the Philippine Islands and con- templates sending warships from Kiao- chau to uphold her protest.
 Another story, purporting to come from St. Petersburg, says Great Brit ain upset Russias efforts at ' oshing- ton because Great Britain is working hard to secure an Anglo ,rican- sia will meet by league composed of all the other European powers"
 LONDON, April 27.-The St. James Gazette this afternoon continues to lead the press hostility to the United States. It says:
 Neither Spain nor America is in the least prepared for war. It will be autumn before the mobs of men with muskets will be fit to trust in the field They are no more at war, in the Euro pean sense, than would be the squab- blings and filibustering of a couple of South American republics"
 The St. James Gazette also publishes a letter from correspondent, who re- marks:
 "The wild hurry and nervous tremo1 with which the United States is pre- pairing to encounter a seventh-rate power like Spain shows the ludicrous and contemptible position in which the braggarts would have been placed had Lord Salisbury given President Cleve- land the answer he richly deserved, anC so brought them face to face with the first naval power in the world"

will represent the new claimants In the struggle for the fortune.
 Notice of the existence of the heirs was filed in the Superior Court to-day.
 When the news came that the rich old farmer had died and that no will could be found number of persons instituted search for relatives. It was the general supposition that he had no near kinsfolk, but MT. Thompson as- certained his place of birth, and com- municated with the authorities there through the German Consul of San Francisco. Christensen was born in a little town in Denmark, and a search was made of the records there. It was found that four cousins of the deceased were still living-three women and one man. The latter is Hans c. Thorel- sen. The family name of the women was also Thorelsen, but they are now married. Their marriage names are Catherine M. Jacobsen. Christine M. Wolff and Helen M. Haverner.
 In all likelihood the fortune of $150,00 will be divided among these cousins. for the law firm says that proof of their relationship is absolute and that it can be proved that they are the only sur yiying heirs
