that the Spanish gunners are fiat

that the best ships of Dewey's squad
ron would receive little or no injury
at the hands of the Spanish fleet, it is
difficult to understand how his lighter
vessels got away from the large Span
ish cruisers without something to show
that there had been a fight There
was the little Petrol. She registers
but s92 tons, sits high in the water,
is without protection for her gunners,
and little for her vitals. There was
the revenue cutter McCul.och, which
is in no sense a warship. There was
the Boston, far below two of the Span
ish ships in registered tonnage and
horse power. At the beginning of the
contest, the Spaniards had two ships
that should have made it unpleasant

there is no evidence that any shot

IT is hoped that the poor condition
in which the state troops were found
will have the effect of opening the
eyes of our people and causing better
provision to be made for the guard. 1t
is impossible for an Adjutant General
or Governor to keep the troops on
fighting footing when the legislature
fails and refuses to set aside money for
the purpose. A great many men have
served as legislators who did not even
know of the existence of a state guarl
The election of such men is the direct
cause of our troops being SO far be-
hind other states when Uncle Sam
called for help. The adjutant gener-
ais make reports after reports calling
attention to what is needed by the
guards, but the average legislator
slept through their reading, the re-
ports were pigeon-holed and that end
ed it. The writer of this article was
a member of the State Guard for six
years, and knows of the way the or
ganization has been neglected. No
officers on earth can sustain good COM
panies unless the equipments are
forthcoming. If the salaries paid a
number of fgure-heads at Frankfort
were applied toward keeping up the
State Guard it would be far better for
the Commonwealth. If frst-class
equipment was furnished the best
young men in the state would enlist
and we would soon have a guard equal
to that of the other states.

THE Kentucky troops at Lexington
were stirred up considerably Tuesday
when they were told they would be
ordered south as fast as they could be
equipped. Reports from Lexington
say every one of the recruits SO far
questioned is wild with joy at the
seeming opportunity to move forward.
They are eager for the quick arrival
of the equipment ordered by captain
Ball ,nce from Washington and which
it is thought, will be here by the last
of next week at the furthest The
soldiers are being put through great
deal of work. Instead of the light
drilling received last week in small
doses, they are now required to drill
about six hours a day. The men are
in good health and spirits, but are
greatly perpleXed at the snail's gait
in which they are equipped.
Capt Balance, the army officer in
charge o. the recruiting in Kentucky
was interviewed regarding the time
necessary to get the Kentucky troops
into the field. He said: 1--WE cannot
leave here until they are equipped and
| am afraid that will be long time.
1t is doubtful if the wool has been
sheared for the Kentuckians' uniforms
and you know we cannot go into a
campaign until they are properly uni
formed. We are getting along very
slowly, for all this work is new, and
we nave no precedents to go by. The
same rules which were in force when
the volunteers of the civil war were
being mustered into service do not ap-
ply now, and it is much slower bust
ness than it was in those days"

At present Uncle Sam has bar-ly
more than sufficient number of mod
EN- rifles for the regular army. The
militia of the States are armed with
o.G-fashionei Spripgfields and similar
out-of-date weapons. When it is sa d
that Springfi Id rifle shoots twenty
five bullets a minute with a range of
1000 yards, against forty shots a min
ute at 5000 yards for the new regula-
tion Krag-Jorgenson, very imperfect
notion is given of the difference in e.
.ectivencss between the tive weapons.
The difference lies mainly in the in
creased danger space" where the
Krag-J orgenson is used. The velocity
of the projectile fred by the Krag-Jor-
genson is SO great that its course thro'
the air is nearly horizontal, so that it
would kill a man who stood anywhere
between the muzzle of the rife and a
distance of three miles. A Spring
fl I'D bullet, on the other hand, might
kill at two miles, but, if properly aim
ed for such a range, would go over the
head of man standing a mile away.
Commodore Dewey has been heard
f"om and the American people are
compensated for the delay by the graf
flying information that the victory at
Manila was even more complete and
glorious than first reports made it.
Not only was the Spanish fleet COM
p,etely destroyed and the forts cap
tured, leaving Dewey master of Ma
Mia Bay, but this result was accom-
plished without the loss of single
lie on the American ships and with
only eight wounded. Mt an Ameri-
can ship was disabled or even serious
ly disabled. Admiral Dewey-for he
has been promoted-had not taken
Manila when his dispatch boat, bring
ing the reports printed today, left Ma
Mia on May 4, but he is in position
to take it whenever he gets ready. L,
will be remembered that the Spanish
Off ,ial reports last Sunday of the bat
tie of Manila aroused false hopes OF
victory at Madrid by Interpreting the
withdrawal of the American ships af.
ter the first two hours fighting as an
indication that the Americans had
been badly damaged. 1t now appears
that Commodore Dewey only with
drew for breakfast, after which he fin
ished the job in short order.

Madrid, April THE Spanish torpedo
flotilla has arrived at Porto Rico.
Washington, April .. - The flying
squadron is TO remain in Hampton
Roads. for the present at least. This
announcement was made late yesterday
afternoon by Secretary Long. and set
at est the reports which had been cur
rent throughout the day that a move
ment of the squadron was imminent.
The secretary stated that the depart
ment believed that the present
rendezvous of the squadron was
the most available one from
which the ships under Commodore
Schley could operate in carrying out the
purpose for which it was formed-that
is, the protection of the north Atlantic
seaboard. He added that no orders had
been issued TO Commodore Schley and
that none were i'm immediate contempla-
ton.
In the various phases OF the situation
yesterday the flying squadron stood out
prominently, both as center of public
interest in connection with rumored
orders for its sailing from the roads,
department II is stated on reliable
authority that the department discussed
the question Of ordering the ships to
sea, sumably-though not officially
so stated-in connection with the APP
proach of the Spanish torpedo fiotilla.
which has just arrived at Porto Rico.
1t has been an open secret for some
days that the naval authorities have
regarded the approach Of the Spanish
hotilla with apprehension. and their
feelings in this regard were strong
enough TO call the matter TO the atten-
tion of the authorities After consider
ing the matter however, IL was de-
cided that no orders would be issued
looking to a movement of the squadron.
While the decision is understood to
have been based primarily upon the
fact that il would be unwise 10 remove
the ships from their present valuable
strategic position, yet il is believed
that diplomatic considerations also had
some weight.

BLOWN UP by A MINE.
Report OF the Naval Court on the Destrrc-
ton of the Maine.

Washington, March 2S.-President
Mckinley today sent a message to con-
gress accompanied by the report OF the
naval board of inquiry into the Maine
disaster. After reciting the events
leading up to the time of the explosion
and the appointing of the naval board
of inquiry. he says:
The finding of the court Of inquiry
was reached after twentythree days
OF continuous labor on the 21st Of
March and having been approved on
the 22d by the communicative chief OF
the United States naval force on the
north Atlantic station. was transmitted
to the executive.
The conclusions of the court are:
That the loss of the Maine was not in
any respect due 10 fault or negli-
gence on the part of any of the officers
or members of her crew.
That the ship was destroyed by the
explosion of "A submarine mine, which
caused the partial explosion of two or
more OF her forward magazines; and
That no evidence has been obtainable
fixing the responsibility for the de-
struction of the Maine upon any person
or persons.
| have directed that the finding Of
the court Of inquiry and the views of
this government thereon be communi-
Gated TO the government OF her ma ies-
~, the queen, and | do not permit my
self to doubt that the sense of justice
OF the Spanish nation will dictate
course of action suggested by honor
and the friendly relations OF the two
governments
1t was the duty OF the executive
to advise the congress of the result
and in the meantime deliberate consid-
Grafton is invoked.
