termination to have bonds furnished by
saloon keepers made binding. The easy

question a bond from man who claims
to be insoIvent for the purpose of pay

ply solvent for security for obedience to
the laws. And his further swearing
that he did not know what the bond was

hardships of his men. He sub
sisted upon the coarse fare OF
private soldier and participated
in every arduous labor. Alci-
blades, in his campaigns, aban-
doned his feasts and slept on

camp when he led force.
Mark Antony did not permit a
soldier to undergo a hardship
in the matter of food and drink
until he had first undergone it
himself. Nor is it antiquity
alone that supplies such ex-
amples. Marlborough, Tu-

DEWEY'S METTLE.

The dispatches today give another
revelation of Dewey's mettle. The Ger
man consul at Manila undertook to land
provisions from a German ship not
wthstanding the blockade established
by the American squadron, but Dewey
f 'bade the proceeding. The consul then
threatened to force the landing of tho
cargo under the protection of two
German cruisers, but the American ad-
miral rejoined with threat to fire ON
the cruisers. Under this argument the
German official retired and the attempt
10 land the goods was abandoned.
When the particulars of this incl
lent are reported at Berlin. Kaiser Will
lelm may show some cholor; but under
International law Admiral Dewey's
course is entirely unassailable. \
blockade ceases to be such when it
ceases to be effectual, and Admiral
Dewey is under the highest obligations
. maintain the blockade OF Manila.
The fact that Germany has subjects
IN the island of Luzon, who are incon-
yenienced by it, in no degree justifles
she German consul in an attempt to
Lefty 1t. No matter what the interna-
ional results may be, the American
ldmiral did just right. Hurrah for
Dewey!
