ADANGEROUS PLACE
The Captain of Ship Must Be q
Brave Nan.

Of ali oC board, the man who stands
IN the greatest peril is the captain. In
the battleships and cruisers his posi-
ton Is IN cylindrical box Of steel, plac-
ed just under the bridge, well forward
which is called the coming tower.
The armor of it is thick enough ordi-
narfIy to resist the penetration OF
heavy projectiles 1t contains the
speaking tubes and electrical wires
whereby he communicates with the
guns, engines and helm, and some
times apparatus whereby he is enabled
to fire the guns himself after they are
laid upon the enemy. His field of Wis
ION 10 limited to what he can see
through little horizontal slit on
about the level of his eyes. In point
of frlghtful responsibility no situation
IN the world can compare with that
which is occupied by the man who
stands in that tower and directs the
movement of his ship. After the con-
faict once begins the din about him
will be something Internal. Upon him
the fire of the enemy will be concen-
frafed and upon the exterior Of that
steel drum in which he is shut up
there will be a continuous hail of iron
and steel. Shells will burst every
where around it, and to that babel will
be added the roar of the force blast
under the engines, the tremendous re-
ports of the heavy guns, and the din
of The quick fire and machine guns IL
chorus. In such circumstances as this,
aided by such knowledge as he can get
By looking out through the little peep
hole In front of him as well as the
SNAKE will let him the captain must
control the tremendous forces under
ais command. and his decisions are
matters of seconds.
Nobody now believes that captain
who finds his vision through the Sits
of the tower cut off by smoke, will
stay thus shut up. 1t is extremely
doubtful if it will be physically possible
for aim to remain there after the
shells commence to hammer its sides
and burst against it, and, in any event
the intense anxiety to see and know
clearly what the enemy is doing will
Inevitably lead him to take his chance:
In the open Coming tower or no con
ming tower, his duty is to place himself
at whatever point he can manage hi:
ships to the best advantage, and thi'
he will certainly do. Lord Charlei
Beresford, with grim humor, has sug
gested that the captains safest plac'
is n3t in but behind his coming tower
because then he has two thicknesse
of steel between himself and the en-
e,ny. don't you see?" but while con
ming tower armor may resist penetra
ton. it is by no means certain that tn
whole structure will not be swep
away by the first heavy projectil
which squarely hits 1t.
As for the admiral, there is nova
days no rigging for him to ascend, an
he would be promptly blown out OF
if there were. In fact, there is n
place for him at all He has no busl
ues, in the coming tower, no bushes
at the guns. He cannot very consist

a. L. Post is interested in a large
patch of broom corn and has stock
of brooms on hand which he was dis
posing of in the capital today.
There was no celebration in Mesa to-
day.
The people in Mesa sincerely hope
there will be something like reorga-

H L. Chandler intends to turn on
the lights tonight to see how every
thing in his plant is.
Captain Pomeroy and Lieutenant w.
J. LeBaron are recruiting company
which they will offer the governor.
Some one has said that there were SO
many Mesa young men gone on mis-
sion work that another company than
the militia could not be raised. This
is g mistake. When a call comes for
mission work Mesa always has young
men in plenty to respond to the call.
Mrs. Mauk after a serious sinking

Frs. John Barley, who underwent

The Barkieys live several miles south

that Mrs Barley become quite strong
before the trip could be undertaken.

IT IS IMPRESSIVE.

In Governor McCord's persistent en-
deavor to secure authority to raise
more volunteers in Arizona, and the
fact that Arizona was the first COM
monwealth to place her volunteers in
the field. cannot but favorably
impress congress of our loyalty and
capability of governing ourselves

comes to their attention. The gov
ernor did good work for Arizona in
this respect.-Prospector.

EXPEL THE CORRESPONDENTS.
Congoeto said today that the corre-
spondents were to be expelled with the
authorization of General Lee" whatever that
may mean.
1t is reported that Clara Barton has dis
charged several agents for the distribution
of concentrate food for dishonesty. They
sold canned goods to grocery store keepers.
Miss Barton Is doing nobly and is seeing that
every pound Of american charity goes to
suffering ones. She is ably seconded by
practical assistants now.
The government buoy is all ready for the
Montgomery. The Fern, which was there,
has been moved out to make way for the
Alfonso XII. Now the three Spanish war
ships are close together.
The full typewriter text OF Sigsbee's an
swer to the toast Of the astronomical cabinet
upon their visit to the Maine was as follows
II have the honor, on behalf OF myself and
the officers OF the Maine, to ceciprocate the
very friendly sentiments which you have just
expressed. 1t Is my wish and effort in my
positicn to do all within my power to con :,
tnue the friendly relations so long existent
between Spain and the United States. l beg
to express my admiration for the high pur-
pose of your honorable body and assure you
that the officers Of the Maine welcome you
| on boacd in both your official and private
characters"
This speech the autonomistic cabinet
thought was an American greeting to the
| new autonomy 1t was so called in the local
press. 81
The board Of inquiry had a secret meeting
today. 1t is not known what It was about
Four witnesses were questioned Carpenter
Helm, an important witness, was held for
over an hour. He is said to have known
the Names hull better than any one else
aboard. Naval Constructor Hoover was also
closely questioned. There is an impression
in naval circles that the Maine question will
probably be referred to an international
board for investigation. Some members Of
the American board say they are sorry the
first investigation was not so made. Con-
Trajectory reports are certainly to be ex-
pected from the two commissions now at
work. SYLVESTER SCOVEI.
