AN ASTONISHING ORDER.

Unless Governor Atkinson has gone
completely daft, we fail to find a salts
factory explanation of his latest start
ling action with regard to the National
future service in that body those sol
ders who volunteered their services to
their country-to thus punish our
brave boys fer responding to the call
of their country in it's need and in ac
cordance with the Governors own or
Gers-is past all understanding and
constitutes a browning absurdity to
the many ridiculously bad and sense
less acts of Governor Atkinson which
have tended to make the State Of
West Virginia a target for the ridicule
and reproach of the whole country
The only ground on which we can
imagine the Governor based this
action is one of unadulterated partisan
military titles and honors for political
fayorites and friends, whom he can
provide for in no other way. This is
the only explanation We can imagine
for his astounding order discharging
the brave volunteers from the military
service of the State-both officers and
men-and forming two entirely new
regiments of new men.
Is this the kind of reward for the
Governor Of sovereign State of the
American Union to give to it's trained
ard tried and true citizen soldiers for
their patriotism and self-sacrifice in
responding to their country's call, and
for obedience to his own instructions
Is it calculated to encourage patriot
ism among our citizen soldery? How
many of them would have volunteered
had they known beforehand that it
meant the sacrifice of their membership
in the National Guard? How many of
our citizen soldiers may we expect to
respond to their country's call in the
future under these conditions?

Senior Mendez Capote, Vice President
of the Cuban Republic, denies that Gu

rate if such be the desire of the United
States. He adds that Gomez, in COM

The yellow fakirs are still at it, as
witness the bald lie published yester-
day made out of the whole cloth con-
corning an alleged battle IN Santiago
harbor between Simpsons squadron
and the Cape Verde fleet a la Dewey
an engagement which the fakirs knew
never occurred for the reason that the
alleged comhatants were at the time
known to be far apart. The lie was
published solely for the purpose of SELL
ing afternoon sheets whose only news
consists of a cIrbstone service which
appropriates what it can steal from
legitimate newspapers and when it can
steal nothing in the way of news de-
ceives the readers of the evening fake
journals with such bold and impudent
falsehoods as the,one published yester-
day.

St. Pierre, Martinique, May "a p.
m.-The Spanish torpedo boat de-
stroyer Terror is being coaled by the
Spanish steamer Alicante
The Alicante lies at the mouth of
Fort de France harbor. 1t was all
along supposed that she was hospi-
tai ship, but there is now no doubt
that she carries cargo of coal for the
Spanish warships. Her pretentions to
be a hospital ship were obviously put
forward as a blind.
The United States consul has eau
toned the French officials of the port
not to allow the Terror to take coal
in excess of the quantity necessary to
carry the Terror to the nearest Span
ish port.
1t is reported that the Terror will
leave Martinique tomorrow.
She is understood to be in good con-
dition.

A LIVE WIRE.
A Bridgeport Boy Badly Burned Las
Night


Yesterday evening shortly after eight
o'clock, Wilbur Morrow, the six-year-
son of James Morrow, was playing near
his fathers house in Kirkwood. He call
ed to Adelaide Duncan and another little
girl, who were standing across the street.
to come across and touch the wire and
feel the electricity. The little girls walk
ed over. The little Duncan girl says that
all she knows is that she was standing,
leaning on the post to which the wire was
tied. She touched the wire and the shock
threw her to the ground, sustaining no
other injuries than severe burn on her
right hand. When she got up she saw
Wilbur Morrow holding tightly to the
wire. When her companion saw the other
children holding to the wire, not able to
let go, she ran off down the bank toward
the railroad track. Adelaide followed her
as soon as she picked herself up from the
ground. The boy finally became uncon-
scious, and fell to the ground He was
picked up by neighbor and carried into
the house. 1t was thought at first that he
was dead but little after Dr. Black ar
rived the little fellow revived His hands
were terribly burned and it is thought he
will lose one of his fingers. The wire has
should have been cut down some time ago
The company sent man up Immediately
after the accident to take the wire down
At a late hour the little fellow was rest
ing easily

A POLITICAL DONNYBKOOK FAIR.
L.. Il Inc a


Greater New York is having a little
municipal war of its own. The de-
capitation of Chief Mccullough and
the elevation to the office Of chief of
the finest" of his subordinate
Devery, who is said to have very un-
savory record as police captain of the
Tenderloin, has set the town by the
ears. The wicked least side" cele-
brated Devery's victory, all the police
captains are hoping or fearing the ex-
pected changes, and the question is,
who will get the Tenderloin," which
is regarded as being worth mint to
the captain in charge of it. Republic
can organization men read Commits
sioner Hess, who voted for the
change, out Of the party. The Cover
nor will be asked to remove Mayor Van
Wyck. The case is in the hands OF
Benjamin F. Tracy, Van Wyck's oppo-
nent in the late mayorality election,
ard the fun is expected to begin as
soon as Gov. Black gets settled in his
office after his RETURN from the Adiron-
dacks.
And in New York political circles
generally a hot time in the old town
is scheduled.

Cervera's fleet as soon as it reaches
Cadiz en- route to the Philippines The
Alphonso XIII and Pelayo are expect

politicians" received the cordial utter
ance with much enthusiasm"
All this is calculated to be pleasing
and reassuring to the United States, but
we should not be carried away by it.
We should bear in mind that these
manifestations of friendship are based
on something besides disinterested
friendship for the American republic,
for this nation has proved its fighting
temper and all the world knows the
vastness of our resources and strength.
We would be an invaluable ally for
any of the European nations, and they
all know it just as they know we
would be a terrible eremy If arrayed
against them with their foes. There
fore, it would be we'll for us to look
behind these plenteous protestations
of friendship from across the water for
the motives that prompt them, for we
may rest assured, as we have said,
that they are not disinterested.
Of all these friendly utterances we
have the greatest reason to expect SIM
certify in Englands owing to the ties
of race and blood that exist between
us, and yet, we have so disinterested
and sirewd a statesman as the vener-
able Crispi of Italy warning the
United States against England. ENG
land" he is reported as saying in
recent conversation, "foreseeing Amer
lca's immediate international promin-
ence, prudently wishes to profit there
by" There is doubtless good deal
of truth in this observation. 1t is
mt to be thought that the recent ex-
pressions Of regard for the United
States on the part of Great Britain
are wholly pure sentiment. Doubtless,
as we have already stated, John Bull
does think something of Uncle Sam
on the score of relationship, but as
John Bull has always been very world
ly minded, it would not be strange II
good deal of his regard was due, as
Crispi intimates, to recognition OF the
fact that the United States is about to
be a great factor in international af-
fairs. 1t has been said that success
consists in adaptation to the condl-
tions of environment. AS Great Brit
80 hn ocf
powers which the world has known, 1t
is natural to look for it to promptly
get in harmony with changed sur
roundings that it may reap whatever
good they have to offer.
A generation ago, when the United
States was at war, the attitude of Great
Britain was not what it is to-day. 1t
did not think so much of the next of
kin" as it does now. 1t recognized a
possibility of the collapse of this re-
publican advantageous happening
for it-and it's attitude was unfriendly.
If the downfall of this nation were a
possible outcome of the present diff
culties, Great Britain, it is to be
feared, would not be so kindly. Its
avowed friendship, however, should not
be disregarded, though undue reliance
must not be placed uron it. 1t must
simply be assessed at its real value.
1t must constantly be borne in mind
that Great Britain is particularly fond
of it.elf: that it always has been and
always will be, ana That it has not
been through gushing altruism that 1t
has succeeded in gathering in a fifth
part of the globe.

ADVICE TO THE STRATEGISTS.

The message of Captain Clark, of the
Oregon, to the Board of Strategy at
Washington sould be read to the men,
bers of the board every morning before
breakfast and on retiring at night that
they may have it we'll absorbed in their
understandings. 1t was:
Don't tangle me up with instruc-
tons l am not afraid of the whole
Spanish feet
The Board of Strategy couldn't reach
Dewey to tangle him up with instruc-
tons. Hence Dewey went right into
Manila bay and sent the whole of Mont
clos Spanish fleet to the bottom. 1t is
safe to say that Dewey never would
have been permitted to do this splendid
deed if he had been in close touch with
the timid, cautious souls who have been
tangling up Sampson and Schley with
contrary directions, keeping Sampson
| in an idle blockade, or permitting him
to only half finish a job once begun,
taking him away on wild goose chase
after the elusive enemy, when he might
have been engaged in much more eff
| fective work
| Caution is all right but it is possible
to have too much of a good thing.
Meanwhile all the world is criticising
our lack of discipline" and the Gin
capacity of American admirals." when
the fault does not lie with them but
with the easy-going gentlemen who are
"tangling them up" as Captain Clark
expressed 1t, and displaying such mas
terly inactivity at Washington.
