AMBULANCE SHIP lsobAcE.


KEY WEST, Fla, Msy i7.-It look.
like stern business when the hospital
corps is sent to the front The first OF
those who will attend the wounded on
board ship have reached Kew West in
the United States ambulance ship
Solsce TheSolace has been at anchor
for several weeks 1t Hampton reads.
The ambulance ship has been boun.
tifully supplied by the women OF
America with the good things that are
generally lacking at sea and in the
field. Perhaps no ship Of the war will
be the center Of so much concern as
the Solace. Her white sides and her
red cross flag will mark her to friend
and foe. Her mission will be one Of
mercy-to build up that which has
been partly destroyed; to care for
the wounded, to comfort the dying.
She Is stanch and fast and 200 or more
wounded sailors can be accommodated
on board this aoatin0hospital. While
the battle RACES the Solace will occupy
q position similar to that of the hos.
pital tents ashore, and after the battle
her boats will be sent to the ships and
her wounded will be removed. Then
as soon as possible she will carry her
patients to the hospitals at some port
of safety.

PEACEFUL BLOCKADE OVER.
Fertilization Where Resistance
Ia Offered,

WASHINGTON. May 17.-President Nc
Kinley has abandoned his peaceful
blockade idea He has had the i'm
preston that the Cuban coast was
poorly defended, and that arms and
ammunition could be landed for the
insurgents ut any point and at any
time without loss of life or danger tc
our ships. The result Of the Cardenas
affair, in which good American blood
was wasted, has, however, caused
the president to revise his
opinion. Hereafter when our
wFships approach Cuban har.
Dor it will be with business intent.
Orders were issued to-day to the COM
mander Of the blockading squadron
that will give him On opportunity to
turn his ships loose on all fortifica.
tons where resistance is offered. Ev-
cry Cuban port that is strongly pro.
tected will be attacked and the BON.
bardment will be kept up until the
Spanish guns are silenced and all gun
boats are sunk.

WASHINGTON, May II. The war de-

HAVANA IS STARVING.
The Conditions There Are Said to BE Worse
Than at Any Time Since the
Weyler Regime.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 1.-THE con.
ditions in Havana resulting from the
blockade are being gradually brought
out by information obtained from fish
ing smacks and other small vessels cap.
tured off the coast. Affairs at Havana
now appear to be worse than at any
time since the Wevler regime. The fish.
ermen who at first braved the blockade
for the high price which fish brought in
Havana now run the risk not for money,
but for the food which they obtain
from the sea. A number OF these men
have been captured at different times
by the vessels Of the blockading feet,
nearly all Of them being released after
having been questioned by our officers.
They all unite in picturing the state
of things at Havana as being pitiful
in the extreme. .-....

WASHINGTON, May 10 - Important

Progress.

No matter what Grover Cleveland
says to the contrary. and no matter
what William j. Bryan says to the
contrary, no matter what position a
leading faction of Democrats have
assumed in Congress, the man who
next leads the Democratic party to
victory, must be a man of the pres
ent and the future, and he must be-
lieve in the greatness of his country,
and glory in its manifest destiny.
We want no part tied with the cob
webs of tradition, no dim eyed
statesman whose vision is circum-
scrlbed 10y the water that surrounds
us. Our leader must recognize that
our place is in the van guard of ma.
tons, and that we have been placed
there by Il destiny that will contin-
lie to control us. He must favor the
annexation of Hawaii, he must adj
vocate the isthmian canal, and he
must acknowledge that the liberat-
ell millions in the Philippine archi-
pelago must look to us for that
measure of liberty and happiness to
which nature and natures God en-
title them. He must be ship
builder, colonizer and mission
AIRY. The old issues are dead, or
dying, and all the people of this
country who are not dead or dying,
are looking toward to new depart
ure, and great national career.
There is to be new dispensation
and the moss. back who cannot for
get, and the conservative who can
not learn will have no place in it.
