r, B. Hawley, the present repre-

Mr. Hawley is republican, and
that is the most that can be urged
against him by his opponents.
His record during the term he has
served in congress has been good
one. He has been no more of o

was to be expected, for ITO the
victor belongs the spoils." AL
though q Galveston man he has
shown no partiAlity, but hos lAbored
for the good of tho entire district.
In finance, he is for the gold
standard, and so are a good many
democrats. As q result Of the war.
he favors territorial expansion, and
so do great many democrats.
H. is an ardent supporter Of the
Nicaragua canal, and so are we all,
democrats land republicans alike.
As the representative of the Tenth
Congressional district, during the
term which he has served, II. B.
Hawley has performed his duty
from his point of view, in q faith.
full and conscientious manner, and
We believe, IL he. is reelected, that

Why he Committed Suicide.

William Hartman, a resident Of
Titusville, com mitted suicide from
melancholy conviction that he
was his own grandfather. Here is
the letter that he left: II married
q widow with grown-up daughter.
My father visited our bouse very
often, fell in love with my step
daughter and married her. So my
father became my own son.in:law,
and my step.dsughter my mother,
because she WIS my fathers wife.
Some time a ,irwa 4 my wife had
a son--he was my fathers brother
in:law and my uncle, for he was
the brother of my stepmother.
My fathers wife, i. c., my step-
daughter, had also 4 son; he wac,
Of ,:;my brother, and in the
meantime my grandchild, for he
was the son of my daughter. My
wife was my grandmother, because
she was my mothers mother.
was my wife's husband and grand
child at the same time. And al
the husband Of a, persons grand
mother is his grandfather, 1 wal

parties out looking for them last night,
and to-day the torpedo boat Porter has

gotten safely off to Cuba, or to be in
hiding on one of the neighboring keys.
Two of the suspects were seen driv-

AS VIEWED AT KEY WEST.
while Nothing Is Definitely Known, 1t IL
Believed the Spanish Fleet Has
Committed Suicide.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 26-There is
nothing definitely known here about
the possible operations in eastern Gu
ba. but the view is expressed at this
place that the Spanish feet is blocked
in Santiago harbor, in which event the
naval opinion here is that the Spanish
deet has committed suicide"
1t is now no breach of confidence to
say that Commodore Schley and Rear
Admiral Sampson are believed to have
Admiral Cervera within their reach,
and if the Spaniards are in Santiago
,harbor, they can be blockaded and
starved out. A singel heavy American
vessel can hold the harbor's narrow
exit, through which the Spaniards
could emerge only singly. The Span.
ish fleet is very fast, but it is not COM
posed of heavily armored vessels. In.
deed, any of Admiral SIMPSONS battle.
ships could, in the opinion of naval
experts, engage the entire Spanish
fleet with fair chance of coming of
victorious The American commander
has not only ships for battle, but foI
the chase as well. This is the view
here where the movements of the Amer.
lean feet are approximately well
known.

'.Remnyi died as he wished to die.
In these times, when this country from
ocean to ocean is aglow with patriot
ism, he drew his bow across his violin,
and with the notes of The Star Span
gled Banner dying away amid thun,
dering applause, he died, with his dear
old instrument Rugged tight to his
side. Good-by, Remnyi; the world il
better because you lived in it.

NOT WITHOUT ITS PLEASURES
Some of the Diversions with Which Our
Sailor Boys VILE Away the Tedium
of Blockade Duty.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 27.-Lifs on
blockade duty has it's bright as well as
its dull side. While the large vessels
| of the blockading feet are envied by
the smaller craft, as they are likely to
be ''in at the death" in naval battle,
the boats of the Mosquito feet are the
only ones at present getting the bene-
ut OF the sport attendant upon a sum-
mer cruise in southern seas.
The battleships and cruisers stand
too high out of the water and the
decks of the monitors lie too often
buried under the waters to offer facii-
ties for bathing, fishing or shark shoot
ing.
The gunboats, yachts and dispatch
boats, on the other hand, although
welded to life of scouting, patrolling
and coast surveying, are especial Y
adapted by reason of their light
draught and low free board to follow
the chase after fish and fowl while full.
filling the duties to which they are as
signed.
Off Dina key, commanding the en-
trance to Cardenas harbor, lies gun
boat placed there to prevent the escape
of couple of Spanish so-caIled gun
boats reported bottled up in the port.
The consequent leisure afforded to
ts crew enables the men to spend tho
day ashore shooting gulls and hunting
eggs on the solitary reef, so thickly
populated by seafowl of every descrip-
tion.
Beyond, under the lees of Point
Icacos light, the rocks form a natural
breakwater, which renders bathing
perfectly safe and secure from the un-
welcome intrusion of sharks, which
abound in Cuban waters.
Off the Playa del Chivo, to the east.
ward of MORO castle, where the up
right plates of the City of Alexandria
jutting out of the restless waves, in
voluntarily remind you of the more re.
cent wrecking in Havana harbor, the
hungry sharks of the gulf seem to
have established their headquarters.
A chunk of meat tossed overheard
will bring three or four of these
ravenous creatures to the surface, pre-.
senting an ample bull's-eye to the
eager and alert officers, who pepper
them with pistol and rife shot. 1t is
seldom that a shot buries itself in any
vulnerable part of the shark S
anatomy, but it affords rare sport
and offers an excellent opportunity for
rifle practice aud good craftsmanship.
Taken all in all, life on blockade duty
has its joys and pleasures as well as
its WEAKNESS and disappointments.

SCHLEY WATCHING SANTIAGO De CUBA.
The President OniciaIly Informed of the
Arrival of the Oregon and Consorts at
Jupiter Inlet-Sampson's Fleet Said to
to be Now In the NeighborhOod of Ha-
~ana-A Haytian Report.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Secretary of
the Navy Long was at the White House
twice during the morning to see the
president, spending only few minutes
each time. On leaving the second time
he made the important announcement
of the safe arrival of the battleship
Oregon at Jupiter inlet. Fla, Tuesday
might. At the same time Secretary
Long, while expressly stating that nc
official advices had been received of the
bottling up of the Spanish feet in the
harbor of Santiago de Cuba by Com
mOdore Schley's squadron, announced
that there was every reason to believe
that was the case. There is SO little
room for doubling the report that Ad-
miral Cervera and his vessels are
penned in the harbor by Commodore
-Schley's squadron, that Secretary
Longs statement that there was
every reason to believe that it was,
was supplemented by the president,
who, in reply to inquiries from con-
gressional callers said that it was I'M
dOubtedly true. Secretary Long had
only brief talk with the president
over the situation. The safe arrival OF
the Oregon at Jupiter had been dis.
counted to some extent by previous an.
nouncements of it's safety. Commo.
.dore Schley's catching up with the
sCervera's feet was a source OF
much congratulation, for in
She conferences that took place
I'm the White House there was feeling
that it brought the end of the war
much nearer. Asked as to the posi-
bility of ruse of some sort arising
from Admiral Cervera deliberately
entering the harbor under the
circumstances, Secretary Long said
the purposes of the Spanish could
be only conjectured, but that it
might be they went into Santiago for
-coaling. While refraining from dis
cussing specifically the matter of rein
forcements and the dispatch of Ad-
miral Simpsons fleet, now asserted to
be in the neighborhood of Havana, to
Santiago, Secretary Long had no hest
'tation in saying Commodore Schley
could have whatever aid he wanted.
