UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND 1T.
Can't Explain the BeIIicose Attitude of the
United States.

HAVANA, March 1.-THE Fern will
arrive here to-day and will replace the
Montgomery as the headquarters of
Capt. Sigsbee and others who are sup
cruising the wrec7ing work on the
Maine. The Montgomery will go to
Key West shortly after the arrival of
the Fern.
La Lucha in it's leading editorial says
it is unable to explain the bellicose at
titude of the United States. and in
clines to the belief that this is the fault
of business syndicates, like the sugar
trust, or due to some new desire to an
mex Cuba, which has changed the
physiOgnomy of the American people. :"
1t claims that Spain has done moth
ing to hurt the pride of the United
States, and refers to the friendliness of
Spain for the American colonies when
they were fighting England, and also
to the ''strict neutrality maintained
during the civil war"
La Lucha SAYS it can only explain
the help given the insurgents from
American sources during the present
instruction in Cuba by detective
law, varying in the different states of
the American Union"
The editorial says, concluding:
The end of the journey will show
which nation has the more to lose in a
contest that may come now. No doubt
Spain does not fear war. Public opin-
ion, if not demanding, does not repeI
hostilities. 1t is believed by many
that this way is the only means of
reaching an end of the present knotty
state of affairs"

NAVAL NEEDS CONSIDERED.
Some OF Them Promptly Provided for
Others VIII be Acted Upon Later.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE house
committee on naval affairs discussed
the recommendations of the secretary
of the navy yesterday as to increases in
some branches of the service, but took
no important action. The secretary
wants authority for the appointment
of acting assistant surgeons by the
president and the sentiment, it is
stated, is favorable to granting that
accommodation.
The request for a large number of
skilled machinists in the navy as well
as the further augmentation of the en-
gineer corps, caused a vigorous discu-
sion, which, however, had no signiti-
cant result. 4 motion was made for
the authorization of the construction
of six torpedo boats and six torpedo
boat destroyers. 1t was Immediately
challenged as involving a large expend-
iture, and after. some discussion action
was deferred. 1t was agreed that the
addition of Is assistant paymasters
should be allowed. Some dock details
were also discussed.

A DINGLEY SURPLUS.
Sly Work of the Republicans to Gre
ate a False Impression on
the People.

The Hannaite press is in high glee
over the February treasury report. Mr..
Nelson Dingley is immensely tickled be-
cause the income exceeded eXpendi-
lures during this bobtail month. Mr..
DingIey has had so little excuse for self
graduation since his lop-sided tariff bill
las been the law of the land that no.
body should begrudge him the little
pleasure which the treasury surplus for
February affords.
The surplus for the month is reported
to be S945,358. Would that it had been
as much every month since the Dingley
law has been in operation. If it had
been, the deficit for the first six months
of the laws operations would not be
over $4,000, 900. Basing their calcu-
Iations upon the February surplus, the
Dingleyites are predicting that the sur
plus for March will be S3,O0O,OOO to S4,-
100000
We shall all await the March report
with keen interest. Interest payments
are lighter in March than in February,
and this ought to help. But the interest
payments in February are a good deal
less than half as heavy as in January.
Let us not lose sight OF this important
fact.
THE surplus this Month" boasts one
Hanna organ, sis in sharp contrast with
February, 1897, when there was a def
cheney under the Wilson bill of 81,
35J ,059.' But let us go back to the
showing of February, 1896. when the
deficit was only 5000, 728 under the same
Wilson bill. 1t is perfectly fair for pur
poses of comparison to go back that far.
isn't it? Then if we 60 back to Febru-
arv. 1894. when the Mckinley law was
iii force, we find that the deficit was
S4,456,074. The Mckinley bin was held
in very high esteem by the republican
braggarts at one time.
The prediction can be safely hazarded
that the only way the republicans can
get enough revenue from the Dingley
bill with which to keep the government
going, without resorting to bond issue,
is to keep down appropriations for
rivers and harbors. Senator Allison
long ago suggested this plan, and the
Reed congress is moving in that direc-
ton without making noise over it

news, and all manner of boats started
in pursuit. The Kearsage was at
Flushing, England, and Captain Win

Semmes might have escaped by

He did not know 1t, but his powder

were defective; they would not ex-

ble But Semmes knew his hardened,
toughencd crew, he knew his own
ability, and he would not finch. The
Alabama opened with her starboad
battery. Semmes tried to close, but
the bulwarks of the Alabama were
torn away and the pivot gun was dis
abled. The Alabama began to leak.

into the sea. Then he followed.
He was picked up by the English

presented him with swords and toast

CARE OF THF. FINGER NAILS.

\ few minutes given every day,
once the nails are properly treated, will
keep them firm and exquisite in color.
After the hands are washed each morn
ING use the nail-brush thoroughly,
and then when they are quite dry
push back, very gently, the skin that
is inclined to grow up around the
edges of the nails. Under no crcum-
stances use steel point to push back
this skin, and do not cut it away as
the professional man:curcs are apt to
do While the nail is still moist use
the point of 4 file to remove any dust
or specks that the brush has neglect
ed, and then. with nail-scissors, sharp,
curved and kept for this purpose only,
cut the nails in shape that suits
your finger tips. The ridiculousiy
long nail, which looks like a claw, is
entirely out of fashion. Use the file
to make smooth the rough edges lett
by the scissors, and then take the
least little bit of red nail paste and
smear the tiniest mOrscl on each of
the nails Don't let it get into the
edges or roots. for it is only intended
as sort of oil to keep the nails soft
and to prevent their growing horney
then sprinkle Il pinch of powder on the
polisher and rub each nail with
quick, even stroke that will result in
giving it brightness that is refined
looking, but not brilliancy that sug-
gests that one only shines at her fin
ger-tips. Ater this give the hands
another bath, using hot water and rub
one set of nails against the other,
achieving in this way proper finish.
