cites entitled The Third Woman"
When an authorized edition Of the
letters Of the great Napoleon was pub
hshed under the auspices of Napoleon
III about 5000 letters existing i'm the
Corsican's handwriting in the national
archives at Paris were withheld, The
curator of those archives, Nj. Leon Le-
cestre, lately cOnceiN ed the idea of edit
ing and publishing these interesting
documents, and an American transla-
ton by Lady Mary Lloyd is now offered
i'm a revised edition by ID. Appleton &
Co., New York. The letters are of un-
even historical value, but in gross they
illumlne Napoleon's character as moth
ing else could, showing US the man as
delineated by himself. We consider
this slightly volume the best character

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Fight at Guantaname- 900 Troops for
 Porto Rico.
 The Santiago expedition will reach its destination tomorrow afternoon.
 The private secretary of the Spanish Premier tells correspondent for Brussels newspaper that the Spanish government would now accept any peace proposal which was submitted, lon the express condition that it does not emanate from the enemy"
 Rear Admiral Sampson and Commo- dore Schley, with their combined forces, are slowly but surely placing such network about Santiago de Cuba and cutting off so effectually every source of outside aid, that within a short time starvation's tapping will give way to deaths solid knock for ad- mittance at the doors of the ill-fated place.
 An Associated Press dispatch from the United States Camp, entrance of Guantanamo, dated the l4th inst. says: United States marines and Cubans to- day attacked the Spanish camp situ- ated five miles from the American in- trenchments. They completely routed a force of 400 Spaniards, breaking up their camp and destroying a we'll which supplied them with water. One Amer ican was slightly wounded, two Cubans killed and four Cubans wounded. The Spanish loss is believed to be forty men : killed.
 The Fourth army corps, Major Gen. eral John J. Coppinger commanding, has been definitely designated to un- dertake the occupation of Porto Rio. It will be rapidly increased to 2O,OOO men, including all the available regu- lars now in the south, with the addi- tion of the best volunteer regiments at Tampa, Chickamauga and Falls Church, Virginia.
The Coconino sun., 1898-06-18


 not soon reach the American marines at Guantanamo, it is feared that ter rible massacre will occur. The Span iards are gathering vast force of sol- diers at this point and it is stated that they propose to give no quarter to eith- CT Americans or Cubans.
 Santiago is now isolated from the world and down to famine rations. When Admiral Cervera arrived at San- tiago with his fleet, the people there welcomed him for the relief they thought he would bring, but instead of food he brought them seven hundred more men to feed. The only aid he had to offer was tons of ammunition in his ships magazines.
 A dispatch to the New York World from London says: Neither Russia nor France and still less England would tolerate any attempt to turn Americas gallant overthrow of the Spanish fleet and virtual capture of Manila to Ger many's special advantage. Interna- tional jealousies guarantee that Amer ica will not be troubled by any inter- ference in the Philippines.
 Of Santiago de Cuba on Monday night the dynamite guns of the vesu- vius were tested with great success. Three shots were firad at the Spanish fortiHcations and it is believed great damage was done. Tuesday morning the New Orleans shelled and partially destroyed the emplacement east of Morro castle. The Spaniards fired some shots at the vesuvius and one at the New Orleans, which was struck.
 A correspondent of the London Star telegraphs from Berlin on the 18th inst: "The United States embassy de- clares to me that the United States will not permit German troops to be landed on the Philippine islands. The Ger mans, the Americans added, have as

Isaac Watts, ID. D., with Picturings by

and made extremely pretty in recitation
by gesture and voice.
The greater number of the verses In A
Mince Pie Dream will be liked by the
children themselves-a result not always
reached by our best writers about chill

trations are excellent and are for the most
part both quaint and winning.

yesterday morning. Practically all we
know now is what we knew then, that
an explosion took place. that the ship
soon sank, and that more than two hun
dred lives were lost. There is practically
nothing as to the cause of the disaster
from parties who were on the spot when
it occurred. While Captain Sigsbee does
not say that he has no opinion as to the
cause he declines to say what 1T IS.
All we get SO far as to the cause
are the speeulations, not much better
than guesses, of people who were not pres
ent, but who have more or less acqualn-
tanoe with battleships and expios-
ives, and among them there is wide diHer-
ence of opinion. One thinks the magazine
blew up, but another pronounces that non
sense. One charges the disaster to the gun
cotton used for loading torpedoes, while
another is quite certain 1T was caused by
neither gun powder nor gun cotton, but by
steam in one of the boilers Of the ship.
The theory that the soft coal took fire
and communicated to the magazine is
disposed of by the fact that the ship used
hard coal. Some Of these theories may
be more probable than others, but none
of them is backed by sufficient evidence
to entitle it to much credence. The
theory which is supported by the least
evidence and the one which violates most
the probabilities is that the explosion was
designed by some enemy Of this country
who was enraget at the sending of the
shin to Havana. In fact there is abso-
lutely nothing to back such an explana-
ton, and it is a pity that 1t should
have been publicly mentioned.
nnThe tremendous force of the explosion
and the part of the ship in which it took
place would seem to point to one of the
magazines as the cause, but on the other
side is the fact that the magazine is very
carefully guarded and protected, and that
it could not have been open at that hour.
The assumption that it was steam that
caused the mischief implies the grossest
kind of mismanagement on somebody IS
art-mismanagement that is not very
likely to occur on ship SO thoroughly
differed and governed by such strict rules
as O naval vessel. Indeed as regards any
EXPLANATION SO far offered 1t may be
truthfuliy said that there is as much to
disproye as to prove 1T.
| 1t is very questionable if the cause OF
the disaster is ever certainly known.
| The part Of the ship where the explosion
took place is torn to pieces, and though
examination may serve to show what ii
was that exploded it will most likely fail
to show why it exploded. The chances
are that the cause will always be mat
ter of probabilities and never reduced to a
| certainty.
Of course the worst feature of the dis
aster is the terrible destruction of hui
man life. There has never been anything
like it in the number of fatalities in the
history of our navy. A number of dis
asters have happened to British war ships
in which the loss of life was greater.
The loss of the ship is Of no small con-
sequence, but compared with the terrible
loss of life it is insignificant.

Secretary Gage believes that the Ding
ley tariff law is going TO prove adequate
to meet the necessities Of the government.
t'Taking,' he says, ''the receipts of the
first ten days of February, as basis for
the year, thesDingley tariff law will in
one year discharge all the obligations of
government expenses for the fiscal year
ending with June, 1898, and will put a
surplus in the treasury Of over $50 90, 600.
This prophecy is based on what the law
has done, and l bslieve it will prove to be
substantially correct 1 need say no more
inIfavor of the measure than this. 1t is
proving the salvation of the government
expense account. Instead of ending the
fiscal years with an enormous deficit, the
law will place handsome surplus in the
treasury each year. I cannot add any
thing to what 1 have heretofore said CON
cerning the general finances Of the gov
ernment. The situation seems to me to
be especially hopeful, and the people at
large have every reason to be grateful y
Another strong proof that the Dingley law
is destined to promote sufficient revenue is
to be found in the gradual subsistence OF
the oroakings on the subject. Those peo-
pie who were SO sure while ago that the
law would be @ failure that they were
contantly putting on record predictions
to that effect are now perfectly willing,
nay anxious, that their predictions should
be forgotten. They are not pointing tc
them with pride" as they would If they
thought they were to be realized.

The Kentucky Democrats of the free
silver variety have evidently made up
their minds that there shall be no dan
ger of the state giving q sound money
majority in the next election. Havin g
control of both branches of the legislature
they have passed bill through the Senate
providing for the appointment by the
legislature of commission of three men
who shall select all the election inspectors
1t contains no provision that more than
one party shall he represented, and the
purpose of the bill doubtless is that but
one party shall have anything to do with
the supervision or elections, and that the
free silver Democracy. 1t Is easy to see
what would result if only free silver
Democrats were put on guard at the polls,
and the count was placed entirely at their
mercy 1t would then make little differ
ence what kind ofs.a majority went into
the ballot box, for free silver majority
would always come out. This is perhaps
the boldest attempt at stealing elections
that has ever been undertaken in any
state. No pains have taken to disguise it
even. There is little hope that it can be
defeated though the Republicans will re-
sort to filibustering and use every parlia-
1nentary artiflce within their reach.
