BADLY INJURED.
A Man Loses a Leg on the Gravity
Railroad.

Edward Healcy, of Upper Dundaff
street, met with a sad accident yes
terday afternoon. He was in the
neighborhood Of Luke Whites cross
ing and decided to ride To the central
city on a trip of gravity coal cars.
He attempted to board the train, which
was moving at rapid rate. and missed
his footing. He fell under the car
which passed over his left leg.
The Delaware and Hudson ambul-
ance was summoned and the injured
man was taken to Emergency hospital,
where it was found that amputation
was imperative. The leg was taken
off just above the knee. His condition
last night was serious, the man being
weak from the loss of blood. However
the attending physicians look for a
revival today and hope for his ulti-
mate complete recovery.

THURSDAY, MAY /
On Sea and Land.

THERE will be no further engage
ment for the present between the
American and Spanish fleets. The
whereabouts of the SO called Cape
Verde squadron, which has been a
mystery ON this side for over week,
has finally been ascertained. Our gov
eminent received official information
Tuesday afternoon that the bulk OF it
has returned to CadiZ. What its future
movements will be no one but the
Spaniards themselves can tell. 1t is
thought possible, however, that 1T may
be hurried on to Manila, by way OF the
Suez canal, for the purpose of attack
ing Admiral Sampson, as they could
do before reinforcements could reach
him from his own country. However,
the Spaniards will probably think
twice before doing so because, first,
of the terror Admiral Sampson has
inspired in them as fighter and,
secondly, for the reason that such a
movement would expose their home
forts to attack by our warsh1ps.-
Appleton Post.
The above shows that the Post is
not only philosopher and politician
but also consummate strategist. The
plan is indeed novel one, but truly
worthy of the willy don. A flank
movement on Sampson effected by
means of a circumnavigation of the
globe via the Suez Canal and Cape
Horn would certainly give the Spanish
a great advantage, and the maneuver
would undoubtedly astonish Sampson
if he did not die of sheer surprise.

MORE IMPROVEMENTS
NEW REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION
WILL HAVE LOTS OF WORK.
MAY APPOINT PARK BOARD.
And the Long Talked of Lake Front
May Observation-Disclosures Law
Will Be Asked for
by Petition.

The present Republican administra-
ton gives evidence of being not only
reform administration but also a con-
structive one. The improvements
begun last year in the way of sewer
building and street-paving will not be
allowed to stop, but will be constructed
as fast as the money can be obtained
for such purposes. The old question
of a lake shore park sis also being agi
tated again, and as Mayor Petit is
known to be very favorable to public
improvements the park may be ordered
laid out and properly arranged by the
present council. The city has been in
possession of ground for such park
for a long time, but there ever has
been a lack OF enthusiasm on the part
of the citizens in regard to this i'm
provemenG of the lake front. A part
of the ground needed for the park
belongs to private parties, and if the
park is ever to become a reality this
ground must be purchased at once
or the owners will have builded
on it. In order to make some
move in this direction it
has been suggested by prominent citi-
zens, interested in the city's welfare,
that a Park board be appointed to look
after the work of laying out and main
tanning city parks in this city. Keno
sha would certainly be greatly beauti-
fed by a lake shore park and it is ur
gently hoped that some action be taken
along this line.
Another reform suggested is the
passage of a curfew law and the Coun-
Gil will undoubtedly receive such an
ordinance in short time: 1t is esti-
mated that nearly 200 boys are found
nightly on the streets at late hours and
some efforts should be made to keep
these boys at home. The Curfew law
has been tried in great many Wis
consin cities and has given universal
satisfaction.

Will Coach St. Johns Crew.

so. Spillman, of this city, has been
chosen to coach the crew of the St.
Johns military school at Delafed, and
he will take charge at once and give
the crew personal supervision one day
each week.
The choice of Mr.. Spillman is very
good thing for the crew at St. Johns
as Mr.. Spiliman is known as one
of the greatest rowers in the
collegiate world. He was captain of
the famous '97 crew at Cornell, which
defeated the crews of Harvard Yale
Columbia and Pennsylvania.
He rowed in two great contests at
Henley, England, and made himself an
international reputation to such de-
gree that his opinion has been consid-
cred authority on rowing.
We predict that the st. Johns crew
will win championship honors under
Mr.. Spillman's management.

AT the opening hostilities between
this country and Spain there was some
division of opinion as to the duration of
the war. But Notwithstanding that
there were those who contended that
before the end the struggle would CON-
prise the whole of Europe and probably
drag out to wearisome length, those
who foresaw a speedy settlement were
greatly in the majority. With the
process of events this position becomes
strengthened. Not only have the
European powers preserved strict
neutrality, but Spain has disappointed
even our feeble expectation of her
fighting ability. Thus far she has
fought listless fight. Her policy has
been that of passive resistance. In not
one instance has she made an agrees
sive movement. While our seamen
have been taking valuable prizes,
Spain has not even attacked our COM
merce. At Manila she simply had to
fight, which she did desperately, but
hopelessly. The Cape Verde feet
would evidently postpone action as
long as possible. In fact Spain real
ICES her unpreparedness. AS her forts
at Manila proved to be nearly useless
old piles of dirt and mortar, so un-
doubtedly will prove her boosted fol-
tifcations at Havana and San Juan.
This timidity on the part of our
crippled adversary to engage in battle,
taken as an evidence of her weakness,
she is altogether at our mercy as soon
as the clinch comes. This final con-
test must come soon. Spain's scant
resources are rapidly ebbing. She is
becoming more and more feeble and
helpless. Her treasury is empty, her
friends have deserted her, and what
little commerce and way she had have
been N aterially injured by the progress
of war. At home she is threatened by
virtual disruption. The contending
factions each confident that were the
government in their hands the war
could be brought to a successful issue.
This condition of affairs necessarily
hastens the crisis. In order to secure
itself the ruling dynasty must answer
the demands of a frenzied people and
fight. This fight will be disastrous to
Spain, although inevitable. It must
establish the supremacy of the United
States, drive Spain from this side the
Atlantic and finally end the war.

ACCORDING to dispatches our expert
strategists are guessing as to the loca-
ton and final purpose of the so-called
Cape Verde squadron. Reports We'd
nesday had 1t that the feet had re-
turned to Cadiz. This today's advices
contradict. Whatever the case may be
it is certain that the Spanish fotilla
which left Cape Verde some time ago is
not at Puer5o Rico. Had it been anX
ious to engage the squadron under
Sampson, which has gone in search of
it, to all appearances it would have
chosen to meet them off Puerto Rico,
where the advantage of position would
have been entirely theirs. But the
probability is that Spain was unwilling,
after the overwhelming defeat they
suffered at Manila, to hazard another
engagement with American ships and
seamen on anything like equal terms.
Consequently the vanishing squadron
has put itself out Of harms way, and
will in the near future, if it has not
already, arrived at CadiZ. What will
be the next step is possibly as much of
a query to the Spanish government as
it is said to be to our strategists.
There is a fleet being fitted out at
Cadiz which may be used to reinforce
the present squadron. After the june
ton the combined force may sail west
ward with the intention of making one
great effort to retrieve the disgrace of
Manila Bay, and bolster up the vaunt-
ed honor of Spain.
1t is also suggested that after re-
plenishing their stock of ammunition
and provisions, they will hasten
to the Philippines via Suez Canal. But
this could not be done without our
knowing it in time to amply
reinforce Dewey before the Spanish
could reach him. Gibralter, which
they could not pass without our knowl-
edge is several days sailing further
from Manila than San Francisco,
whence our feetest transports with
thousands of soldiers are ready to
steam at moments notice. But more
than this our strongest fleet is still in
the Atlantic. The whole of Simpsons
fleet and Schley's flying squadron,
comprising the mightist fighting ma
chinery in the United States navy are
within comparatively easy reach OF
SPANS Atlantic possessions and even
Spain herself. Knowing this it is
scarcely credible that Spain would
leave herself practically defenseless, as
she would have to do should she send
an armament to the Philippines capable
of coping with Admiral Dewey and his
squadron.
