MILITARY BALLOONS.

Thomas Q. Boone, one of the three
men who made ascents in the war bal
loon at Santiago, in telling a Boston
audience Of his experiences said:
Newspaper correspondents and maya
zine writers have condemned the bal
loon, but in my opinion there can be
no question of the value Of the balloon
IN warfare. We were able to locate the
enemy, and IN one particular instance
saved many lives when
We informed our men OF body Of the
enemy about 800 strong hidden in the
pass on the slope commanding a mar
row path UP which our men were about

Japanese Rail way Fares.

If We may believe the Yorodzu Cho-
no, says 8 foreign paper of Japan, the
Government is Inclined to consent to
a proposal by the Railway Bureau to
raise the passenger fares on the Gov
eminent railways. The Railway Blu
reau proposes to raise the rate from l
sen a mile to IL or 1.25 sen per mile
on Journeys for less than so miles, be
yond which the rate will be progress
siyely lowered TO or 8 rim per mile.
It Is hoped by this means to increase
the railway profits and with the in
creased returns extend and improve
the railway system. The net profit for
the present fiscal year was estimated
at some $4,000 yen, but the general
rise IN prices is expected TO reduce
this by 100000 yen.

are crying for bread. In the same way
the loss OF your once vigorous appe-
tite means poverty and starvation to
your body. II any reader OF this pa

from Key West:
The American sailors at Car
denas have avenged the death
of Ensign Bagley and his COM
rades of the unfortunate tor
pedo boat Winslow. After the
Winslow left Cardenas the gun
boat Wilmington ran into the
harbor and rained a storm of
shot, shell, death and destruc-
ton. Two Spanish batteries
we're completely destroyed and
the town set on fire. After the
Spanish guns had been silenced
landing parties from the Will
mington went ashore in small
boats. A horrible sight met
them. In one battery alone IL;
dead Spanish soldiers were
found and hundreds wounded
In the other battery an equally
great number we're found.
A portion of the town of Car
denas was also destroyed by
the fire of the shells from tl.t
Wilmington.

Washington, May 14.-The
Spanish feet have been sighted
off Curacao Island. near the
coast of Gensulea, 500 miles
northwest of Martinique.
Some naval officers doubt the
accuracy of this report. still
it is not improbable.
This feet is apparently max
ing for a point on the southern
Cuba coast without meeting
Sampson.
The latter is probably steam
ing westward hoping to meet
the enemy off the northern coast
Sampson and Schlsy will run
them down, if this report is
correct that they are near Cur.
acoa they cannot escape.
Sampson has scout boats in
advance of his fighting ships
which will probably locate the
enemy before they can reach
| Cuba.

The American feet withdrew

This demand to be backed by

This was not inspired by any
