The Wilkesbarre Rec0rd says that
through the kindness of chaplains Of
the Pennsylvania regiments there are
being circulated through the camps a
leafet containing a concise Spanish
vocabulary for the use of the soldiers
when they arrive in Cuba. 1t con-
talns the Spanish words and pronuncia-
ton for the necessalries of life and for
phrases that are most likely to be use
full. The selections are made solely
with reference to the probable needs
of the soldiers, and the men may be
seen studying the leaflet in all parts
OF the camp. 1t also contains a cable
code for communicating with the folks
at home. This idea seems to have
originated with one Isaac A. Wright
of Kansas City who sends them free
to the commanders or chaplains of all
regiments who apply.

William A. Mari Esq, of Ash
land is prominently mentioned as a
candidate for Judge in Schuylkill
Co. He is an able lawyer, and a

the bench. He has many friends
here who would be pleased at his
promotion, though his income as an
attorney is no doubt much larger
than the salary of a Judge.

She Encountered Rad Weather but
Saw No Spanish Ships.
New York. May 3. - The American
liner Paris arrived Saturday from
southampton after a rough passage OF
seven days seventeen hours and forty
five minutes with nine saloon, forty
two second cabin and ninety-eight
Storage passengers. The Paris left
Southampton April % at 2:05 p. m.
After clearing the land Capt. Watkins
shaped his course about north and al
ter run of about thirty miles headed
for home, keeping a distance OF about
thirty miles from the usual course
taken in previous trips. Capt. Watkins
had no fear that a Spanish war vessel
would catch his fleet steamer after Sne
got sea room, but it was thought pos
sible that some vessel of the enemy
might be lurking in the vicinity of the
channel, or in the neighborhood of the
Irish coast to waylay the American
craft At night every light on board
of the Paris was eXtinguished and
headlights were covered. Strict watch
was maintained to detect the APP
proach of vessels. Leaving the Lizard
with the wind southeast, then north
east, very light, the weather became
overcast and a long westerly swell pre-
vailed. This condition of weather con-
tinued until the wind became westerly,
and, commencing on the ODD, increased
to Il gale. Rough seas with fog and
rain, and generally thick weather, pre-
vailed.
On the American coast heavy north
east gale with high head seas was en-
countered The Paris sighted the
White Star line steamer Majestic on
April % at DAB a. m. in lat. 1890 long.
1920, and at 7:20 p. M. of the same
day passed freight steamer OF the
White Star line bound east. Nothing
else was seen on the way across. The
Paris brought sixteen cases of NUM-
tons of war and a small quantity OF
miscellaneous merchandise. The Paris
entered the narrowS through the field
OF mines and torpedoeS at $50 IN the
morning and was saluted by steam
whistles of passing craft as she went
10 her dock.

REVIEWED BY THE GOvERsOR.
Minnesota Brigade NIasse At the

MinnesOta Brigade Masse at the
State Capital.
st. Paul, May IAN army of civil
ians yesterday, 10000 strong, watched
brigade of MinIiesota's volunteer sol
dlers, 1000 in number, march through
the streets of st. Paul to Camp Ram
sey at the state fair grounds, the first
camping place Of Minnesota's quota Of
the volunteer army of the United
States.
1t was grand, an inspiring specta-
Gle. 1t was a scene that wrought to
the highest tension the enthusiasm of
those that knew nothing of the hor-
ror nothing but the sunshine, the tin
sci, the Spectacular of war. But to
those among the older citizens of the
city, those that saw Minnesotas men
march away thirty-SeYen years AGO
this month to acquit themselves SO
ncbly in the long, bitter struggle be-
tween the North and the South, to the
men that marched from Minnesota
then, to the widows and orphans that
lost their loved ones in that struggle,
the scene held different prospect. 1t
was one that saddened their hearts
and brought back again wildly the
long ago.
Ihe troops were late in starting from
the capitol because Of the late arrival
of some of the country companies, and
it was not until 11:40 o'clock that Col.
Bobleter, brigade commander. gave the
order to march. Gov. Clough ana his
staff in full uniform were drawn up on
horseback directly in front of the cap
itol, on the east side Of the street
Following close on the color company
OF the Second regiment came the First
regiment, with the st. Paul Minneapo-
lis, Saltwater and Red Wing compa-
MES, preceded by the First Regiment
band of Minneapolis. When the First
had passed the Third came into line,
bringing up the rear of the column.
AS the rear of the Third regiment
passed the governor and his staff they
wheeled into line and followed the col
umn to camp. .
