ALARM1sTs point to the fact that the
city of New York is at the mercy of the
Spanish cruiser Vizcaya. There is no
necessity for apprehension in the prox-
unity of the Spanish vessel. New York
harbor could be made in a short time
to bristle with danger for the foreign
ship, and the American cruiser Brooklyn
is near at hand to keep the gnats off the
S%paniard. The government authorities
fear far more that some fanatic may
touch off a torpedo beneath the man OF
war than that she will lombard New
York, and it is such a possibility that
the government is striving to prevent.

SPAIN
The Madrid correspondent of the
London Times, commenting on the
situation in Cuba, says: whether any
large number Of insurgents will ever
fight for the Americans is considered
extremely doubtful, but despite Spain's
hope II Is equally doubtful whether
Gen. Maxine Gomez and the other in
iluential insurgent leaders will boldly
declare against American annexation.
All that can be said with certainty Is
that the cabinet at Washington has
not found and cannot count upon
the efficient assistance from the in
surgents which 1t evidently expected
when 1t rushed into war without hav-
ing an army of occupation ready.
"Since the ministry has been recon-
structed publicity and prominence are
being given by leading organs to cer-
tain movements of troops which seem
to indicate an intention to warn
whom 1t may concern that Spain
is ready to resist any unjustlfiable
schemes of aggression from whatever
quarter they may come. These move
mcnts have reference to the idea that
Spain may be helpful to the powers In
the event of any combination against
an Anglo-SaXon alliance.

And PROV to the tropic sea again.
Home! Home! With the mother fleet

Till the call shall rise DER the awful
deep;
And the bell shall clang for the battle
there,
And the voice OF guns is the voice of
prayer!
one more TO the songs of the bold and
free,
when your children gather around
your knee;
When the Goths and Nandals come
down in might
AS they came to the walls Of Rome one
night;
When the lordly William of Deloraine
Shall ride by the Scottish lake again:
When the Hessian spectres shall fit In

AS Washington crosses the Delaware:
When the eyes of babes shall be closed
in dread
AS the story of Paul Revere is read:
When your boys shall ask what the
guns are for.
Then tell them the tale of the Spanish
war.
And the brcathless millions that look

The matchless race Of the oregon.
