The Canary Islands.

Before the present war closes

into the number, resources aud
location of these islands. The
Canary islands lie i'll the Allan
tic ocean not far distant from
the western coast Of Africa and
several hundred miles rorth of
the Cape Verde islands. They
comprise seven menb bers, of
which Teneriffe and Grand Ca
nary are the largest. These is
lands enjoy the distinction Of
beiug among the oldest of the
globe i'll point Of settlement.
They were known even to the
ancient Greeks, who gave them
the appel!ation of the Fortune
islands. Spain did uot come
into possession of these islands
until the beginning of the six
teenth century, aud she paid
dearly with her blood and treas
ure for the supremacy which
she established over them. With
respect to the resources Of the
islands, they are numerous and
abundant. consisting Of prod
uCts which are native to the
temperate zone. The climate is
perrennially mild and beautiful.

SOME ANXIETY FELT.
Feared Dewey May Have Lost . Con-
siderable Portion OF His Men.

Feared Dewey May Have Lost Con-
siderable Portion OF His Men.
WASHINGTON. May 4.-The greatest
anxiety is felt in official circles as to
the casualties sustained by the Ameri.
can fleet. From the stubborn defense
made by the Spaniards it is feared that
before they burned, blew up or sunk
their ships they managed to infiict
severe damage upon Commodore Dew
sy's squadron. All of the ships en-.
gagged were vulnerable in one respect,
namely, in their lack of protection to
life. There was not an armored ship
in Commodore Dewey's feet, the near
est approach being the flagship Olym'
pia. In all cases, with the exception of
some slight protection in the shape OF
gun shields, the personnel Of the ships
was exposed to the fire of the enemy.
If Commodore Dewey has lost con.
siderable portion of his men it is feared
he will be much embarrassed in the
work of maintaining possession of Ma
Mia for lack of sufficient force. 1t may
be, and in fact it is expected, that by
com bination with the insurgents he
will succeed in having his men relieved
Of the task of garrisoning Manila.

auent the shore, but during their visits
to the city they saw and heard enough
to convince them that the SIP ,nish SOD
diers arc utterly unable to cup9 with
even an inferior American force.
A cavalry man who could converse in
good English told them that there
! were 10000 Spanish soldiers in the
city, and that 600 had died during the
pweek the Stanhoee was there OF neg
lect and want.
Mortality the Result of Neglect.
One night ON the outskirts of the
CITY, he saw hundreds of Spanish SOL
Aliers huddled together like animals on
the floor of an old stable. The NOR.
TALLY among the soldiery is' the result
of their condition and not of the CID
mate.
."American troops need have no fear, -"
said the mate. while the terrible
mortality is not exaggerated in the dis
patches to this country, there are more
deaths from starvation and its concom-
liant diseafes than from any climatic
maladies.
From the best information obtaina.
BILE, Captain Marshall is Of the opinion
that the whole of 1.-THE 10000 troops
driven into Manzanillo from the pro.
vjssce of Santiago de Cuba by the in
ss.rgents, are only awaiting favorable
opper unity to openly revolt.

Fncm the same sounce Captain Mar

go over to the insurgents, but the re.
lief @. the freedom and sufficient food

NEW NATIONAL GUARD.
Governor C1ough Tells How 1t Will Be
Organized in Due Time.

Governor Clough Tells How 1t Will Be
Organized in Due Time.
ST. PAUL, May 4.--Governor Clough
has atated his position regarding the
reorganization Of the national guard,
made necessary by the enlistment OF
the three existing regiments as volun-
teers Of the United States.
"There will be-" he said, ''as have
heretofore indicated. but two com.
panies assigned rs minneapolis and two
to St. Paul for the new regiment. the
country will be recognized. Hereto.
fore comparatively few towns have
had all the honors in this direction, and
it is only fair to pass the honors around.
The country towns have been com.
planning, and now there is an orpor-
tunity to give them recognition.
"The new regiments, continued the
governor, "will be the Third and Fourth.
have already designated the towns to
which companies will be assie ned, in
order to set at rest the applications
from other places, but shall not pro.
coed hastily in organizing these two
new regiments. In case the present
regiments are not called out of the
state, they will not lose their identity
in the guard. They will go back to
their homes with the same men and
the same officers as at present. But in
case they are ordered outside the state
and remain, say six months, shall, il
am in Office when they return. take
the ground that they have had honors
on which they can afford to retire, and
yet shall give them recognition, bu
not to the exclusion of the two regi
ments organized in the mean time tt
take their places. These two new
regiments will be retained. Blu
the law entities us to three
regiments, and the Third will b.
made up of four companies of eacl
Of the present regiments. NJ
plan would be to write on slips tn
names Of each company in one regi
ment, place them in a hat and let som
disinterested person draw out fou
slips. That would be the quota TO
that regiment. Then in order I woul,
select -four companies from each Of tn
other regiments, consolidating all int
one regiment. think that would
fair, and it will give all parts Of tn
state recognition. OF course il tn
boys do not return until after my terri
Of Office has expired my successor ma
do it in an entirely different way, bu
that is my plan Of dealing with tn
matter"
