The volunteer bill was stretched from
80, 600 first considered to 100000 and
finally to I25, 900, This vast army is for
the purpose, presumably, of fighting the
Spaniards out of Cuba. Gomez has
insisted all along that if his men were
supplied with arms and ammunition the
United States need not trouble themselves
further about the Spanish army in Cuba,
that the Cubans are amply able to expel
the Spanish aamy with the assistance OF
the U. S. navy blockadiug the Cuban
ports. If Gomez is only approximately
correct, nothing like the large voluneer
force added to the troops of the regular
army available, will be needed for the
expulsion of the Spanish forces, unless
the island is to be garrisoned by American
troops and United States protectorate,
or army of occupation, established in the
island and new government created fol
the Cubans Such proceedings would
ignore the present Cuban government and
assume the payment of Spanish bonds by
fastening them on Cuba. Matters about
Washington look very much like they
were being shaped that way.

Cabinet Changes.

Postmaster General Gary has resigned
and Charles Emory Smith has been ap-
pointed to fill the Office. Mr.. Smith is
editor of the Philadelphia Press, one of
the most faithful and subservient goldbug
papers in the country. In Gage and
Smith the Rothschild gold trust has ever
faithful servants in the cabinet. Sherman
too, whose congressional life has been a
long list of acts of iniquity against the
people and in the interest of the money
power, has resigned. He is totally worn
out and unfit for the responsible duties of
the State department and retires to the
shades of oblivion "unwept, unhonored
and unsung," loaded with the corrupt
boards of life spent in aiding the
enemies of the human race. Assistant
Secretary Day, who has performed the
duties of the Office, takes Shermans place
as Secretary of State.

Temperance Pharisees.

clause III the crazy quilt liquor law
pieced up by the last legislature for Cecil
provides that in case the county goes dry,
the law is amended to prevent the sale CT
liquor by druggists on prescription. A
practicing physician may go to druggist
and obtain it, but cannot give a prescrip-
tion to third party.
The best plan will be for the doctors
each to purchase gallon of whiskey-
the pure and unaduterated stuff-and
keep it on hand for their patients. But
few if any druggists will pay govern
ment tax of SIS for the privilege of sup
plying physicians with whiskey.
The numerous shams and restrictions
thrown about the license end of this crazy
quilt law are for the purpose of throwing
dust in the peoples eyes. The public is
very easily fooled by any new device or
humbug and the liquor men know it.
In relation to the liquor question there
are three distinct parties; the straight out,
honest liquor party, and the straight outs
for prohibiting the licensed whskey sell,
ing under any DISCUSSES whatever. There
is large intermediate class or party who
should be called the Temperament hiskey
party. They are the parties who COM
plain so loudly of the speak easy BUSINESS,
and fill the air with lamentation over the
violations" of the local option law.
They can't sleep for fretting over the
drunken orgies of the speakeasies and the
violations of the 'local option law" In
order to cure all this violation" of law
the crazy quilt law has been devised.
Only Just so many 'hotels" are to be
licensed at high rate. The keepers
must be first class men in every respect.
The ten signers recommending them
must be first class citizens and two extra
first class, kind of XXX fellows, must de-
clare before the licensing board that the
hotel men applying are the right stripe to
hold liquor license. To make assurance
doubly sure the licensing board on CON-
plant of certain citizens can suppress a
license, and from this trinity's decision
there can be no appeal.
Suppose all these fine provisions of the
temperance-whiskey party are strictly
complied with, scarcely single customer
of the speakessies will be able to get n
drink at the hotels, and the consequence
IS, or would be, as many speakeasies as
ever or more for every hotel would sell
by the jug full on the sly to the speak
easy men in order to get back the three
hundred dollars paid the county for
license. The whole scheme is about as
bungling piece of hypocrisy as was ever
concocted BY these temperance pharisees
who stand OIL the street corners and make
long prayers invoking Allah to smite the
speakeasies.

Quoting prices reduced from much higher figures

EXPLOSION.
Thirty-Eight Persons, Mostly Boys and
Girls, Killed or Injured-Inex-
PlicabIe Careiessness.

Havana, Nov. ga box of powder
exploded yesterday morning near the
Reina battery, killing or injuring IS
persons.
The explosions occurred on the Ave
nue. %infanta, between the Santa Clara
and Reina batteries. Many boxes of
powder were stored in aprivate house,
which also contained five rooms full
of Mauser and other cartridges. The
careless handling of of the boxes
of powder or of one of the boxes of
cartridges caused the explosion.
Nobody was killed outright by the
explosion, but three of the injured
died this afternoon, and the condition
of most of the others is more Or less
critical. At least fifteen are not eX-
pected t. live. 1t was Il miracle that
the immediate loss of life was not
great.
1t now appears that n man named
Jeronimo Smith had acquired several
hundreds of thousands of cartridges,
many of an old pattern, at the various
military depots here, for a mere song,
and was arranging to turn his invest
ment to account by removing the gun
powder from each projectile, with a
view to a later sale at a profit. To
this end he hired about fifty boys and
| girls, with n few men and women, to
do the work.
Up to the hour of filing this dis
patch 70 arrests have been made, al
though orders have been given for the
removal of similar contents of other
houses in different parts of the city.
which implies an official knowledge of
the existence of such deposits in diff
ferent localities.

took His Part.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The navy de-
partment yesterday published through
bureau, the Views of Admiral Ger
vera Regarding the Spanish Navy in
the Late War"
Capt. Clover, the chief intelligence
officer, explains that this is a reprint
of a number of letters published in La
Epoca, of Madrid, on the fifth of the
present month. The letters are dated
from before the war up to May 5.
They were written by Cervera in pro-
test against Spain rushing into war
in the face of certain defeat, due to
the naval strength of the United
States and the unpreparedness of h
Spanish navy.
Could Not Become An by
Keeping silent.
Cervera writes: Il ask myself If
it is right for me to keep silent and
thereby make myself an accomplish
in adventures which will surely cause
the total ruin of Spain. And for what
purpose? To defend the island which
was ours. bat belongs to us no more,
because even If we should not lose it
by right in the war, we have lost it in
fact and with it all the wealth and an
enormous number Of young men, VIC

Now let orders be given to ne; | will

Spain's Unreadiness and Impradence.
Capt. Clover says Spain has neg
lccted her navy, and Cervera shows it
was imprudent for her to attempt war
against Il superior naval power. TAX
ing up some OF the vessels in detail, in
4 letter written in January, he shows
how the Nizcaya carried defective
guns; how the Carlos V. was Il failure
because of lack of power; and how the
Catalonia, began more than eight
years before, was still incomplete
And then he predicts that a conflict
would be disastrous to Spain.
In a letter written in February the
admiral speaks of the Colon, having
no guns: of other vessels being de-
f~cctivc; of the inability OF the fleet TO
zeal at Cadiz; of their being obliged
to 90 out with half r%atiOns, and finally
t:.rir having no charts of the Amcri-
can seas. lie says that the eight
