SUBLIME POLITICS.

The string events of the past
two weeks have touched the hearts
of all patriotic Americans. The
long struggle for freedom in Cuba
and the we'll known sympathy OF
our people for those fighting for
their liberty; the blowing up of
one Of our best war ships and the
sacrifice of the lives Of our men
the insolent demand of the Spanish
government for the withdrawal of
Consul. General Lee and the prompt
and emphatic refusal OF President
Mckinley to do so; the war pre-
parations going on upon u gigantic
scale and men working day and
night in our ship yards and on our
forts the unanimous response of
congress with princely offer OF
fifty millions of dollars for the pub
lie defence; all these things ARE
themes OF such paramount impor
lance as to stir the blood and fire
the hearts of all true Americans.
Amid all these conflicting emo
tions and this momentous suspense
the American people, with their
hats raised IN silent admiration, are
watching the pilot at the helm of
the Ship of State. the grand and
loyal and patriotic William Nc
Kinley---and waiting patiently for
the signal that will arouse our peo-
pie to action. The spectacle thus
presented is the grandest and most
sublime in all the history of our
nation.
1t is relief to turn from this
bewildering and soul string picture
to contemplate another Of tran
scendent and paramount impor'
lance and to remind the great and |
loyal and patriotic American PEG
pie that at Boise City, on the 2nd I
day Of March, A. D., 1898, Ben
Rich, Mart Patrie, julie Basset and .
JAKE Horn unanimously resolved !
to denounce the President Of the |
United States because one OF his |
secretaries made a gold bug speech,
and to once more remind the great |
and loyal and patriotic American |
people that the only and all impor- /
tant and all absorbing and tran
acendert and by all means para
mount and toploftical question be
fore them today was the free and |

UNDER THREE FLAGS.
American and Cuban Flags Float
Side by Side With COlOrs
of Spain.

Havana, Dec. 27.-The citizens of Ha-
vana read in this morning papers an
order from Captain General CastellanOs
permitting the display of Cuban and
American flags inside the lines of Span
ish jurisdiction, and early this morn
ing the stars and stripes and the lone
star Of Cuba f1oated over many build
ings in the heart of the city and in
streets where the Spanish soldiers still
keep guard. The only buildings ex-
cepted in the order are the government
offices. Havana, therefore, is now
bright with color, and fire crackers are
being exploded in the streets and on
the plaZas. Fear of the Spaniards dis
appeared with the appearance of this
order for out came thousands of flags
secretly made by the women of the
households, or cIandestinely purchased
from adventurous peddlers. Robert A
Scott, formerly city treasurer of Jack
sOnville, Fla, succeeded in getting a
small cargo of flags into Havana some
weeks ago, and flags originally costing
about four cents have been selling for
about dollar each.
The order of Captain General Castel-
1anos was issued after a conference
with General Ludlow and it will be fol-
lowed tonight by an order closing the
cafes at 10 p. m.
General Ludlow rode around the city
late last night watching the temper Of
the people in the streets. Fourteen per-
sons were wounded by people who fired
different kinds of weapons in the
streets.

A CHRISTMAS ROW
Which Results in Arrests and the
Pulling of a Joint.

c. c. Johnson celebrated Christmas
yesterday with a, few congenial COM
panions in the Capital billiard hall on
Kansas avenue between Fourth and
Fifth streets.
The crowd made merry and became
somewhat bOisterOus. A few playful
slaps were given and returned and a
man by the name Of Jack McGivern,
who yields a sledge hammer in a black
smith shop, forgot what a blow he could
strike and knocked Johnson down.
Johnson's pOcketbOOk was in his hand
when he was f1oOred and when he went
down in a heap he forgot everything
but trying to maintain his equilibrium
and let go the pOcketbOOk. In the ScuC-
f1e the pocketboOk was lost. Johnson
was mad. He went to the police sta
ton to get out a warrant for the arrest
of McGivern. The police told him to go
to Constable Stonestreet at Justice
Guys court He went and while he was
hunting up the constable Sergeant OW-
ems, Sergeant Donovan and officer Pa

was found and decided that he had
made trouble enough for the house and
did not swear out a warrant.

MUST FOLLOW SUIT.
Hanna Says We Must Subsidize
American Steamship Lines.


Cleveland, Dec. Ex-senator Hanna
believes that his bill for the protection
of the American merchant marine will
congress. The majority of the senators,
Mr.. Hanna states, feel favorable toward
the measure and he has reason to be-
lieve the house Of representatives will
pass the bill.
The bill was introduced 1n the senate
last week by Mr.. Hanna, and in brief,
provides that subsidies shall be paid to
certain freight carrying vessels built in
America The object of the bill is to en-
courage Americans in transacting rela-
tions of a commercial character with
the people of foreign nations in Ameri-
can bottoms.
ests of the United States should be
terests, for instance" said Senator
Hanna, here we are exporting steel
to all parts of the world, and especially
to England, simply because we have
given that industry protection. Several
generations ago the American merchant
marine would compare faVOrably with
the commerce carrying vessels of other
countries of the world, but latterly we
have been dropping behind, until at
present only 6 per cent of the American
freight is carried in American bottoms
The cause for this condition lies largely
in the fact that England, Germany,
tries have protected their maritime in
terests by granting the vessel COM
panies subsidies The only natural
thing for US to do if we wish to build
up our maritime interests is to do the
same thing"

sPANIARDS CORRALLED.
Seek Safety From Insurgents in an
Americans House.

Manila, Dec. PA steamer which has
arrived here from Samar, reports that
the Tagales insurgents have been in
possession Of Kalbaon since December
1. Business there is said to be entirely
suspended and all the Spaniards of the
vicinity have sought refuge in the house
of a man named Scott, an American.
The insurgents threatened to attack
the refugees but refrained from doing
so because it was reported that Ameri-
can soldiers were on their way there
One Spaniard, however, was shot and
pluckily rescued by Scott, who rode 10
miles and demanded the mans release
in the face of an armed mob of Tagales
who have been lOoting the Vizayas
stores and houses the leaders of the in
surgents being unable to control them.
All the efforts made to induce the
Vizayas to join in the revolution have
been fruitless. The situation so far as
the insurgents are concerned here, is
serious. The selection of a new cabinet
has been entrusted to a Filipino named
Madi, a rampant irrecOnciliable of I'M
known antecedents and a bitter oppo-
nent of Aguinaldo, especially on the
question of the Spanish prisoners.

Ben HENDERSON'S DIYORCE
His Wife's Plans to Betray Him
Through Ex-Chief Quarles Proves
Benefit

Kansas City, Dec. 27.-Spectators in
the common pleas court of Kansas City,
Kan, were surprised yesterday to hear
ex-Chief of Police Quarles testify for
the plaintiff in the divorce case of Ben
S. Henderson VS.. Catherine Henderson.
Only a few months ago the two men
were avowed enemies and Henderson
was Wag1ng a relentless warfare upon
Quarles and doing all that was in his
power to GUST him from his position at
the head of the Kansas City, Kan, po-
lice department.
Several months ago Henderson's wife,
to whom he had been married less than
a year, packed up her belongings and
returned to her former home at South
Bend, Ind, leaving the veteran attor-
ney in solitude. Henderson began pro-
Ceedings for a divorce, and yesterday
the suit was heard in Judge Alden's
court.
The star witness, whose testimony
secured for the plaintiff the decree ask
ed for, was ex-Chief QuarleS, Hender-
sons former enemy. The chief testified
that one day last summer, during the
trouble between the Good Citizens
club and the police administration he
received a note, written in a feminine
hand, but with no signature affixed,
asking him to come to a certain house
on Garfield avenue, and stating that
an important secret would be unfOlded
to him. DO not wear your uniform"
continued the writer, land do not hitch
your buggy in front of the house"
Quarles testified that he had obeyed
the summons of the mysterious note
and was surprised at meeting Mrs. Hen
derscn: The two had a conversation.
the substance of which was about as
follows, so the ex-chief says:
You and my husband are enemies"
began Mrs. Henderson; 'he is doing
everything he can to make you lose
your official position. He has a detec-
tive upon your trail and is Watching
you with the hope of finding something
that will help him to get you out of
office. 1 will keep you posted as to all
of his intentions if you will have a de-
tective watch him"
The chief was told then that if he
would send a man to a certain place
in Kansas City, Mo, he would find her
husband in company with another wo-
man, and that she wanted him in return
for the Information she would give him
to keep her posted as to her husbands
dOings. The chief says that he told her
he had no desire to pry into the private
affairs of her husband and refused to
enter into such an agreement.
This matter being brought to the at
tention of the court had the effect of
convincing Judge Alden that Hender-
son was entitled to a divorce and an
absolute decree was granted.

ConsunptiOn Cured.
BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAZ

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE CRAVE
Last November Mr.. Joseph James
painter, of 3Z5 W. Pearl St, IndianaPo-
lis, Ind, was at death s door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.
