This war has not sufficiently changed

domestic welfare for foreign prestige will
find itself heading for the pastures of politi-

April 10Th, destination The dis
lance from the Cape Verde islands to the
Canary is S36 miles and the distance
from the Canary Stands to Cadiz is
about 700 miles, or 1886 miles from the
Cape Verde stands to CadiZ. The Span
ish squadron being five days out from
st. Vincent, could have made CadiZ by
800 miles a day, or a little over twelve
knots an hour. But the Lisbon dispatch
does not say distinctly that the squad
ron has reached Cadiz. It announces
that the squadron has returned to join
the Spanish fleet near Cadiz," which may
mean that it's news comes possibly from
the Canary islands or from some other
source at Madrid.
AT Cadiz the Spaniards are understood
to be fitting out the battleship Peiayo

cession Of notable Catholic clergymen
with a guard of honor or 500 cadets.
Every clergyman taking part in the
mass was a dignitary of the church.
The papal delegate, Archbishop Mar
tinelli, was present. A grand orches-
ira, selected singers, and enlarged
chorus supplied the music. A certifi-
cate of cancellation for the debt of
$500, 900 on the Dunwoodie seminary,

"This is one of the greatest countries
that man yer lived for for, bled for or

lies of the country will be among the
first to risk their lives for its defense,
and more than one-third of the navy
is composed of Catholics" Bishop Nc
Quade's speech was along patriotic
ines. In conclusion he said: 1--WE
want the country ~unshackled by the
change to European customs. Our fore
fathers laid down for us principles that
are abiding, n I am not so much a
believer in the army n navy as I am
in the good common of the
American people. I believe in an army
