twelve hours after leaving port A stout
British steamship. which, It is said, had
a representative OF the American Gov
eminent aboard. followed the Spanish
squadron until sunset on Friday. when II
was still headed TO the westward. IL It's
destination had been the Canaries II
would have taken course about north
by east. The steamship which followed
the squadron makes readily about twelve
knots an hour and at sunset she was hull
down 10 the squadron. consisting OF the
cruisers Almrante Oquendo Nizcaya, In
fanta Maria Teresa and Cristobal Colon.
and the destroyers Furor, Terror ana
Pluton. IL Is likely that the squadron
will make about fourteen knots on the
voyage, as since ii sailed the weather
has been pleasant i'm the lower North
Atlantic IL should, at that rate, be at
Porto Rico tomorrow. III IL should cover
only twelve knots an hour II would be

date their pace to the ten-knot monitors.
az il is about 800 miles from Key West 10

cent. Cape Verde Islands, after a passage
of fifteen days, left a Spanish squadron
at ST. Vincent Captain Mitchell, OF the

led lazy life. There was no practice
of any sort with the guns, and the only
vessels that did anything were the ter
pedo boats and destroyers. which occa-
slonally took a spin seward apparently
to test their engines. At that time no.
body seemed to think there was any
probability of war between Spain and
tho United States-NeW York Sun.

Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage
of it. A little forethought will also
save much expense and valuable time.
A prudent and careful man will keep
a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, ChOle-
"a and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until ne
cessity cOmpels it and then ruin his
best horse going for a doctor and have
a big doctor bill to pay, besides; one
pays out % cents, the other is out a
hundred dollars and then wonders why
his neighbor is getting richer while
he is getting poorer. For sale by all

The consensus of opinion in the East
is that this commission is most OPP
perfume, and will be very valuable for
the promotion of American trade with
China. That it has the endorsement
of the United States Government will
add much to it's efficiency in reaching
Chinese high officials. Mr.. Read, the
head of the commission, is we'll known,
and his career of over ten years in
China has fitted him to direct a COM
mission of this sort, for he has devOt-
ed a life time to the study of COM
merce, and his experience of Chinese
life and travel will be invaluable. Mr..
Green is known to the merchants of
the United States as an expert on all
matters touching the industrial and
development of the United
States.
When the Pacific Mail Company
learned of the proposed commission
to China it rendered to the members
complimentary passage from San Fran
cisco to Shaghai. The Picking having
been chartered by the Government the
same courtesy has been extended by
the o. and O. Company on their steam
ship DOric.
