This informal catechism irritated
him, and yet he could not help being
amused at the thought of what gri-
mace this self satisfied official would
make if he only knew in what manner
the "trip" had been made. At present
he evidently knew nothing about it,
and Vladimir was very grateful to
Katia for this.

High Authority Says First Fight May Set

From London Cablegram of Thursday.
Sir Charles Dixie, member of parlia-
ment, is quoted in an interview on the
Spanish American crisis this evening
as expressing the opinion that the two
opposing fleets are about evenly bal
anced, and that, therefore, the decisive
action will be fought at sea.

cans win, the war will be over. If
Spain wins, it will be the beginning of
long struggle which which must end
in the crushing defeat of SPAIN"
He also said that he anticipated con-
siderable trouble from the chaotic state
of international law announced that
his sympathies were with the United
States, and explained that the United
States was quite right in interfering in
Cuba, adding: "Although 1 pity the
grand old empire of Spain, which is
crumbling."
Sir Charles ridiculed the idea of the
Spaniards shelling American cities,
pointing out that it would be no ad-
vantage to Spain for her to do so.

horses to ride to their own lines. Such
were thousand Of incidents on both
sides during our Civil war.
At the close of the war General Lee
was left-as was the fate of all Con-
federate soldiers-penniless and with
out the profession for which he was
so admirably fitted and educated, and
was forced to begin over again his
life's work.
For some years he devoted his time
to farming until urged by his friends
to enter politics and become candi-
date for governor of Virginia. He
did and was elected by large majori.
ty to that Office, and once more Vir-
ginians saw with pride Lee filling
the position of high trust.
Upon the close of his first term he
was again elected. Never has more
graceful hospitality been dispensed
from the governors mansion than dur.
ing General Lees administration.
MAJOR GENERAL LEE.
The administration has decided to
thank General Fitzhugh Lee for his
arduous, distinguished, and faithful
services in Cuba by giving him a com
mission as major general of volunteers
and putting him in command of di'
vision of the army for the invasion Of
Cuba. The American people, without
dissenting voice, will approve this
act of the administration.
General Lee, in his modesty, has
disclaimed any special value and re-
fused any special thanks for his servi'
ces. Yet there is a general feeling
that some mark of appreciation and
gratitude should be given to him. He
has taken the only one that he would
not have refused, and it is the one
dearest to his heart. He will 60 back
as soldier to help win Cuba from the
Spaniards, whose cruelties he has ex'
posed and whose insults are still ring.
ing in his ears.
The Spanish editors in Havana pre-
tended to think that General Lee went
away from there too soon. He will
come back a good deal sooner than
will be convenient for them ; and when
he comes, and wherever he goes, al
the head of the division, there will be
warm work.-New York Sun.

out Katia's knowledge, but she would
understand. He would leave letter for
her.
He sat down al once to write it, but
when written the letter did not please
him. He burned it, then wrote another
and burned that, too, and ended by leav-
ing only few lines:
II thank you most earnestly for all
you have done for me and beg you to
forgive my being obliged to leave your
house without saying goodby to you. "
He signed this note, Yours, Vladi'
mir Volgin, and laid it in the book
which had helped to make them friends.
Then he replaced the book on its shelf.

guess where to look" he thought BE
went out into the garden and through
the little gate on to the path leading
down to the river No one noticed him.
He walked down the path toward the
mooring place and saw the boat in
which he had accomplished his memo
rable journey
How short time ago it had all hap
pened and how much he had felt and
lived through since then He walked
on down the path, lost in thought All
that had happened in this week was
now past history for him-past history
that could never be recalled, that was
already tinged with the soft shades o1
vanishing memories.
At turn of the path he stopped and
looked back, to take last glance at the
house where lived the girl who-he was
willing to acknowledge it to himself
now-had for a moment filed his heart
and imagination. He was in the act ot
mentally saying farewell to her forever
when suddenly mans voice called
him by name. Before him stood Krou.
tikov, arm in arm with Katia. They
had been for walk along the river
bank and were now returning to the
house.

fat smile
He was much more amiable now thar

wished to please Katia, with whom, al
was easy to see, he had been having
full explanation.

The SOLDIERS TO WEAR TAGS.
When the men of the regular and
volunteer armies 60 into action they
will wear around their necks little tag
of aluminium, by which they may be
identified if found later on the field of
battle. In the last war it was often
impossible to properly identify the
dead soldiers, and thousands were
buried in graves marked "unidenti-
fed" The war department has pre-
pared this system of Identification,
and it has been decided that on each
tag shall be the numeral assigned each
man on the muster rolls, with the let
ter of his company, battery, or troop,
and his regiment. These tags will be
sent to the troops in the south when it
is evident that a fight is on hand. In
the Civil war officers of some of the
regiments had little silver Shields in
scribed with the wearer's name, rank,
and regiment.

Late Civil War.

Destruction of United States Ships In the
Late Civil War.
Industries and Iron.
The American war Of secession,
which began in 1861, was productive
of astounding results. At the COM
mencement of the war the Confeder-
ates possessed no special stores, no
trained personal and very little knowl-
edge of submarine mines and torpedo
warfare. 1t was more than year af-
ter the outbreak of the war before the
Confederates could get together the
materials they required for submarine
attack, but when they once started
their first crude systems the Wiping
out of the Federal fleet commenced,
and continued with increasing effect
until the war terminated. The list of
damage and destruction which follow
ed is given in detail, as its lessons
should be seriously considered by all
the naval administrators of the world.
