SPAIN GRANDILOQUENT.
That Moribund Monarchy Capable of
Talking.

MADRID, May %. In the Senate to.
day, Count .Almenas vehemently pro,
tested against the alleged action Of the
American warships in displaying the
Spanish flags in order to deceive the
garrison Of Guntanamo, as announced
! on Saturday. in the dispatches from
Captain General Rlanco, who added
that American ships were "immedi-
ately recognized and repulsed." The
Count asked if the government has
notified the powers of this incident.
The Minister of the Interior, Senior
Capedon, replied that he notified the
powers and described this reported ac-
tion as "cowardly and iniquitous.'
Count Almenas said "that in view of
Americans manner of making war,
Spain must Immediately decree pri-
watering, in order to utterly destroy
American shipping.
The Minister of the Interior replied
that the government had deliberated
upon the matter and had even taken
certain decisions, which would soon be
known.
Sener Pacheco rem arked that "in the
face of the Americans conduct, we
must not show any consideration for
them"
The Speaker protested against
Spainis adherence to the Geneva Con-
ventian, whsreupon the Minister of the
Interior replied that Spain had not yet
entered that convention.

BATTLE BY MOUTH.
Senate Taken Up with Matters of Mere
wordy Difference.

WASHINGTON, May ga Senate
communication was received from Sec
retary of War Alger, together with a
draft of bill providing for. gradual
increase in the number of the officers of
the Corps of Engineers, and that pro-
motions shall be made by seniority.
Allison called up the war revenue
measure He announced that when
tho Senate adjourned Friday, the pend
ing question was upon the amendment
offered by McEnery, of Louisiana, re-
moving the proposed corporation tax
from certain classes of corporations,
which were such in name only. He
added that the reading of the bill had
been completed, and an agreement
reached first, to consider the amend
ment providing for excise taxes on
persons, firms, companies and corpo-
ratons. That amendment, Allison
thought, ought to be disposed of before
the remaining parts of the bill were
taken up.

Somebody is Responsible for the Dissertation and it
Should be Stopped at Once.
THE WHOLE COUNTRY ANdRILy INTERESTED


Every street, from Presidio to the
Pacific Mail Dock, distance of about
five miles, was lined with people, who,
after the soldiers passed, fell in their
wake and marched to the docks.
The entire police force of San Fran
cisco fell in ahead Of the soldiers.
Many weeping women followed the
soldiers as though loath to let them
out of sight, and even men were not
ashamed to show emotion.
Bombs were fired, steam whistles
were blown, and every device i'm
aginable for making noise was put
into full operation. The jam at the
dock was terrific. Tomorrow the Sec
ond Regiment of Oregon Volunteers,
one battalion of the Fourteenth In
fantry, United States Regulars, and a
detachment of California Heavy Ar
tilIery will board the City of Sydney,
and it is probable that the Pekin and
Sydney will depart in company.

"While Watson was at Blakeley's $
plantation, an event occurred which
illustrates the true bravery and no.
bility of many of the women of the
Revolution. 1t is one of a thousand
such illustrations, which the records
of that struggle reveal
Among the bravest leaders Of
Marions Brigade was Capt. Coryers,
a young gentleman of good family,
handsome in person and a superior
horsemau, He was betrothed TO
Mary, the beautiful daughter Of John
Witherspoon, and sister of two Of bis
noble companions in arms. The
young lady was residing at Blakeleys
when Watson encamped there Con
yers was aware Of it, almost daily be
would ride within rife shot of the
British pickets, challenge them to
night, and often sklrmlsned II the
presence Of the girl he loved. She
was proud Of her gallant knight and
her heart beat with delight when she
heard the low voice of some sentinel
give the warning, Take care! there
comes Conyers. Tie British officers
were exceedingly annoyed by his de-
fsnt taunts. One day when Conyers
was repeating his challenge, and the
maiden stood listening with joyous
pride to his words an officer ap-
preached her, and spoke soeeringly
of the young champion. Her eyes
flashed with indignation, and drawing
her heavy soled walking shoe from
her foot, she flung it in the face of
the insulter, exclaimiug: coward! go
and meet him"

It will be remembered that last
year we did not support Hon. James
Norton for Congress, and our prin-
cipal objection was that be was hold
ing on to high Office while seeking
another. Mr.. Norton succeeded in
convincing the voters OF this district
that he was the proper man to fill the
unezpired term, then vacant. To
make canvass of the district is ex-
pensive and unless it can be shown
that he has failed to perform his du-
ties in the short time be has been in
Congress, we think as an act of JUS
tice and right he should be allowed
to enter the full term without oppo-
sition. Congressman Norton has not
had time to do much for his constit-
uents, bat we can say that, in the
short time he has been in Washing
ton, be has eaten no idle bread and
he has done as much work as some
Congressman that have been there
for years. We cannot with any de-
gree of conscience give opposition to
Congressman Norton, not even if a
personal friend comes into the race,
and We believe the people of Claren-
don, knowing their love Of fairness
will frown down any opposition for
the full term.
