Watson's Programme on the
Other Side.
SPAIN TO BE BoMBARosD.
Then the Commodore Will Join Ad-
miral Dewey in the
Philippines.

By the Time the Fleet Reaches Manila
There and Germany Can Hardly Make
the Excuse That the United States Is Not
Strong Enough to Preserve Order--In-
tervention win Mean War.
Washington. July 12.-The purpose of
the president in dispatching Commo-
dore Watson to the other side of the
Atlantic lies deeper than any of the
reasons that have been officially as
signed. The decision of the admins
tration to give Watson a formidable
fleet Of ships, including six colliers of
great capacity, is based on the inten-
tion to ultimately send him to the Phil
ippines to reinforce Dewey. 1t was
said by an officer of the United States
whose Identity cannot be given, that
Commodore Watson will cruise the
Mediterranean until Spain sues for
peace; then he will head for the Suez
canal and hurry TO Manila. While in
the vicinity Of Spain he will give Ca
mara battle If he gets a chance, and
he will lombard a few Spanish cities
If the president considers it advisable.
Threatening to Spain's Security.
His presence, which will almost stop
Spanish shipping. and which will prove
very threatening to the security of
Spain, will have salutary effect in
hasteping Spain's overtures Or peace.
In the meantime the United States will
keep a watehful eye upon Germany

that Germany has any intention of in
terfering with the United States in the
Philippines and is using its best en-
deavors to create the public belief that
Germany is regarded as a friendly ma
ton; that nothing has occurred at
Manila which will warrant the assump-
tion that she will attempt to acquire
q coaling station, or a port, on one of
the Philippine islands, but that no diff
fculty of any kind is anticipated by
the United States government. But
just as soon as peace negotiations are
under way, which will be as early as
Germany can wisely take any aggres-
sive steps in the Philippines. Commo-
dore Watson will start for Manila and
he will be there to assist Dewey if Ger

ment.
No Excuse by Germany.
If deemed expedient two or three ad-
ditional warships will be sent to Wat
son while he is in the Mediterranean,
so that the American fleet that will
finally do duty in the Philippines
would be large enough for any pur-
pose. BY that time General Merritt
will have 10000 men and Germany can

The Glamour Of Art.

Do you think that Greek art ever tells
us what the Greek people were like!
Do You believe that the Athenian wom-
en- were like the stately, dignified hg-
ures of the Parthenon frieze or like
those marvellous goddesses who sat In
the triangular pediments of the same
buildingp If you judge from the art,
they certainly were so. But read an au-
thority like Aristophanes for instance.
You will find that the Athenian ladies
laced tightly, wore high heeled shoes,
dyed their hair yellow, painted and
rouged their faces and were exactly like
any silly, fashionable or fallen creature
Of our own day. The fact is that we
look back on the ages entirely through
the medium of art, and art, very fortu-
nately, has never once told us the truth.

During the fall Of 1874 rats became
a serious menace to the farmers Of
Jackson County. Kansas. and one night
at q meeting OF the literary society in
the Coleman school house 1t was pro.
posed to organize a hunt. Sides were
chosen, and II was agreed that the los.
ers were to pay for a supper and dance.
Three weeks ser fixed as the limit Of
the hunt. but this was reduced. to ten
days when It was discovered that warm
weather was making Il impossible to
preserve the tails. which were to be
used in making the count. At the end
OF ten days both hunting teams assem-
bled at the school house with their tails
aud a count was made. with the result
Of showing 0.35O dead rats in total.
More than 1000 Of these had been killed
on the farm Of g. w. Reynolds alone.
After the count supper was served and
a dance followed until daylight. The
affair Is still known in local circles az
