THE MAINE NOT FORGOTTEN.
Men on the Atlantic Squadron An
xious to Avenge the Deed.

April 21.-10:30 p. M, on board the
flagship New York, off Key West, Fla.
The night is being spent quietly on
board this vessel. All think it is the
last they will spend in American wat
ers for some time to come.
Captain Chadwick has arranged a
special mail to leave for the shore at Il
o'clock, and the officers and mer are
now busy writing farewell letters. Cap
tain Sampson is in his cabin with Cap
tain Chadwick and Fighting Bcb"
Evans, who came over from the Iowa
about an hour ago. They are consult
ing with respect to the final plans.
Though the seriousness of the i'm
pending war is not belittled, the gen-
eral feeling is one of intense relief The
long suspense, which has proved so try
ing, is now practically at an end, and
the squadron knows what is has to
face. It has been repeatedly stated in
these dispatches that the rank and file
are willing and anxious to fight This
is more than ever the tone exhibited
tonight. The Maine has not been for
gotten.
There is no reason to doubt the cor
rectness of the statements made in
THESE ulSpdlCIleS on TUESDAY 1ndt the
squadron will sail with the sole inten-
tion of blockade 1t may be that the
occasion for action of a more offensive
character will arise, and that an en-
gagement with the Spanish fleet may
occur, but these possibilities are shroud-
ed in the fateful future
Many are the conjectures as to the
length of the campaign, and the abb
sence of the squadron from home. The
concensus of opinion places the mini
mum period at three months and the
maximum at six. It has been fully
understood that neither experienced Of
ncers, raw cadets nor bronzed seamen
doubt for a moment the ability of our
navy to whip Spain The far-seeing ad-
init that it may cost many valuable
American lives, but it will done, come
what may.
Steam is up in the boilers the an
chors are ready to be weighed. and
probably soon after sunrise. if not be-
fore, the squadron will be on it's way
to Cuba. Long cipher dispatches from
Washington are being translated as
these dispatches go ashore.

Il is something unusual for French
and other European writer's to study
American finance. Monsieur r. G. Le-
wy. a well-known financial authority
has written for the Revue des Deux
Mondes an article upon debt and tax
alton in the United States, in which he
expresses the opinion that the new
taxes resulting from the Spanish war
will make ii necessary to conduct our
financial affairs with more care and
scrutiny than has been our custom. He
also remarks-what is 80 obvious that
Il should be a commonplace with US
that II we adopt an imperial policy
our people must be prepared to bear
burdens of taxation similar to those
under which the European nations are
eroaning. His goodwill toward us is
shown in his expression OF hope that
the great republic will remain faithful
m the traditions of moderation, wis
dom and reason bequeathed to it by its
illustrious founders.

For many years the idea has been
cherished at Paris and st. Petersburg
that England, by reason of her vast
industrial and commercial interests in
the maintenance of peace, would COM
promise anything-that she would not
fight on any ground. The idea was en-
couraged by the long series of British
yieldings at Constantinople, in At
ghanistan, in south Africa, in Siam, in
China and West Africa. The habit OF
making concessions paralyzed British
diplomacy. Now it is intended, it ap-
pears, to let the world see that the lion
has teeth and claws as well as re-
sonant roar, even II the beast will have
to go down in defeat.

son of its latest exhibit, selected from
over fourteen thousand statues and
paintings, with that of the Society Of
Arts of 1867, emphasizes beyond words
the growth of public taste. Three
items from the earlier catalogue are:
Two birds in shell work, on rock
decorated with sea-coral; landscape
in human hair; a frame OF various de-
vices, cut in velvet with scissors, con-
tanning the Lords Prayer in the COM
pass OF silver threepence. The read

predict that, except as curiosities OF

know them no more.
