Uncle San to Europe: heep youl
 fingers out of this, unless you wan'
 to get them pinchei."
 The cruiser Cincinnati seems tC be acting badly. She is reported
 aground again a. Key West.
 The new license ordinances pub
 shed in the JoURNAL-MINER should
 be read by every business man.
 From the number of vessels cap
 turned. it seems that the Havana
 blockade is both effective and bind
 ing.
 Au amendment to the revenue a.-.. viding for an income tax
 vs- -t ated in the senate by vote '1,s g.
 raerl1 has organized another
 company of militia which IS ready
 to go to the Philippine islands
 when called on to do 50.
 Adm al Montejo, who commanded the demolished Spanish fleet, is under the impr, ssion that he went through tornado instead of naval battle.
 The Spanish fleet is expected at San Juan, Porto Rico, tomorrow. Admiral Sampson is expected there about the same time too. The Senate has passed bill grant ing right of way to the Grand Can yon railroad through the Grand Canyon forest reservation.
 Spanish naval authorities will be sure to try to keep the remaining Spanish fleets out of range of Dewey's Asiatic squadron.
 Tucson has voted S1O0,OOO bonds for water works This makes the third Arizona town which has voted water works bonds this year-Pres- colt, Flagstaff and Tucson.
 Commodore Dewey's flagship is the Olympia. but there was nothing suggestive of the Olympiam games in the terrible licking he gave that Spanish fleet.
 If reports from the Philippine Islands are correct, Admiral Montejo would better have surrendered to Admiral Dewey. The Spaniards are now receiving some of their own medicine from the natives.
 A Kansas socialist editor was one of the last men to find out that it is dangerous to write disrespectfully of Old Glory. He escaped hanging by doing twenty-five miles of lively sprinting, and the scare he got will probably prevent his repeating the offense.
 There is DO law on the statute books Of Arizona to prevent a mau from making a ludicious exhibition of himself, if he wants to. Hence, MT. Parish continues his chirograph- ical gyrations in public print about prominent republicans.
 Sam Purdy, of Yuma. a man known all over Arizona and Cali fornia. died last Thursday. Mir Purdy had been a member of the leg isia,gF- oftener than any other man il' a- ,-rritory with the exception of J. V. Darlington.
 D having been heard from ; u. c.uutry will now be in anxious awaiting tidings from Adj mirsl Sampson. May he gain as complete a victory in Porto Rico as Dewey has at Manila. If this would not break the back bone of the war, it would at le:st silver several verte- brae of the spinal column.
 The President being compelled to return that SlOO,OOO check of Miss Helen Gould, on account of there being DO authority of law to accept it, Miss Gould now proposes to raise four companies of cavalry of sixty men each, to serve in the Cuban army, and be under the executive orders of the Cubans. Miss Gould will pay all expenses of recruiting, unitormlng and equipping, and will land them in Cuba, where the war will arm them at the of the government.
 Admiral Mon,ejo, of the Spanish fleet, actually left Manila to nee; Dewey's fleet, cxpecting to capture 1t. After he had been to sea few hour5 he changed his mind and re- turned to Manila harbor. If be had succeeded in meeting Dewey where he would not have had the assistance of shOrC ba. cries there would not have been q grease spot left of him or his fleet. The commander of those vessels of the BaTbadoes islands is liable to follow the example of Mon tejo and put back to some safe port instead of attacking the Oregon.
 MT. Parish is again to the front with another of his characteristic screeds. His plaintive vail this tims is in opposition to bond issue to carry on the war. He says that the have no right to do this. ! The war debt, he claims, should be ! pad by the present genera tion, which contracted it.
