The Anglo Saxon Unity.

In considering the question of a
closer understanding among Anglo
Saxon peoples for the better fulfllment
of Anglo Saxon methods of popular
government, for the extension of COM
mercial freedom and for firmer securl-
ty of the liberty of the individual man.
not every one understands how broad
basis there is for such an interna-
tional undertaking. In late address
before the colonial section of the So
ciety of Arts in London it was shown
that "the British empire ia fifty
three times the size of France, fifty
two times that of Germany, three and
half times that of the United States
of America, thrice the size OF Europe.
with treble the population of all the
Russias 1t extends over II 900, 900
square miles, occupies one-flfth of the
globe, contains one-fifth of the human
race,or 35OO0O,O00 people; embraces four
continents. 10000 islands, 500 promon,
tories and 1000 rivers. 1t Is estimated
that the empire possesses one third of
the sheep of the world, one-fourth of
the cattle and one-twelfth of the
horses. The total shipping under the
British flag Is 10. 452, 900 tons"
This is potential aggregate the like
of which the world has never before
seen, whether considered with refer.
ence to population or territory. But 1t
is so great that 1t is unwieldly. Though
the Anglo. Saxon has conquered this
space on the earth's surface, and this
domination of large part of man
kind, he holds place and power by the
force OF racial superiority, and not by
reason of numerical strength.
Half the English speaking people of
the world are in the United States.
The territory of the United States ia
one of the fairest and most fruitful
portions of the earth's surface. Ths

Opportunities.

The war furry has not been without
some adverse phases in business
sense, but 1t has brought some oppor-
tunities for those who have been quick
to seize them. Flags, for instance,
have had boom; and so with all the
patriotic wares. The national emblem
is as much household necessity now
as are coffee or sugar. Wisdom in
merchandising is largely a matter OF
watching vigiantly for such universal
needs, and quickly utilizing them. The
process OF quick utilization is easy

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-For some time
ment might be expected between the army
and navy over the possession of the Spanish
ordnance which was surrendered in various
places in Cuba and Porto Rico. The navy
has claimed that where it's ships fired upon
and silenced the Notifications the guns by
right fell to it's share, but the military au-
thorities, being in possession and having re-
ceived the surrender of these places, have
asserted their right. The guns in most
cases are not of a type desired by either
of the ordnance bureaus for use, but all of
them have historical value and some of
them are remarkably beautiful examples of
the gun founders art in the last century.
The authorities have sought to secure pos
session of some of these, while the War De-
partment has been beset by patriotic or
ganiZations desiring to secure one or more
Of these guns The President has finally de-
cided to divide this captured ordnance fair
ly between the two branches of the service.
He has just caused the appointment of a
board, consisting of Maj. George H. Hop
kins, assistant adjutant general, Z. S. v,
Capt. Francis Dickens, attached to the Nav
gation Bureau of the Navy Department, to
devise some acceptable plan for the dis
tribution of this ordnance, and this board
has already taken steps to secure lists of
the guns captured from the Ordnance
Bureau of the War Department and the
Navigation Bureau of the Navy Depart
ment.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The Cabinet

was developed that the Spaniards hope to

vana by Dec. 20. The Cuban evacuation
commission has made quite extended re-
ports to the War Department concerning
the situation in the island relating largely
to camps, the conditions and proposed sites
for the United States garrisons, as we'll as
suggestions as to supplies for the army and
other matters of detail which must be con-
sidered before an army is sent to Cuba. One
of the most important features of the latter
reports is that the evacuation of the island
by the Spaniards may take place sooner
than first anticipated. The commission has
been informed that thirty Spanish trans
ports are now on their way to Cuba, and
that they will be able to take away a large
number of troops. These transports are ex-
pected to arrive in Cuba within short
time. The War Department is now making
arrangements to send troops to Cuba as
soon as the Spaniards evacuate and will be
ready tc occupy different points as fast as
the Spaniards move away

NEW YORK. Nov. &C. w. c. Dreher,

Buhn's name. Dreher furnished bail for his

lawyer declared that Dreher had fled with
all the cash he could lay his hands on TO
escape punishment for his infractions of the
law. Her lawyer asserted that Dreher had
taken away with him 900 in cash and had
left his wife only rs cents. He enumerated

said, had been swindled by Dreher out of

INFANTA MARIA TERESA
FORMER SPANISH CRUISER NOT so
BADLY WRECKED AS REPORTED.
An Oflcer of the AntiIIa Says She Is
Have Tried to Sink Her.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.--The steamer An
tilla is at present in this port. Her second
officer, Edward Webber, said to-day that
when tho steamer was at Cat island the
Infanta Maria Teresa was lying in about
fifteen feet of water and the surf was
breaking over her. She was lying easy and
not on the rocks, but with her nose in the
sand Had the surf not been so high / be-
lieve that we would have pulled her off,
said Mr.. Webber. Il questioned the natives
and learned from them that the Maria
Teresa first appeared in the offing about 8
o'clock in the morning the Thursday after
she was abandoned. She rode in gracefully
and had she been brought in under skilful
guidance she could not have come ashore
at better place. She went on the shore
at IL o'clock the same morning in which
she was sighted. 1t is my opinion, as well
as the opinion of natives of Cat island, that
for some reason an attempt was made by
those on the Maria Teresa to have her sink
before she had drifted far i'm the storm. All
the square port holes above the water line
were left open, but in spite of this there
was only three feet of water in her when
she came ashore. believe that the crew
when they left her were anxious that that
might be the last of her. She is lying at
present with a very slight list to port. AS
her stern is presented to the breakers the

are above water. l believe that the vessel
will not go to pieces but will remain where
she is for years. Her military masts have

of the celebrated Sunnyside stock farm,
there have been rumors of a written con-
fession left behind by the suicide. This let
ter was made public tonight by William
Martindale vice president of the bank, and
has caused a sensation in Emporia. for it is
an acknowledgment by the suicide that he
had systematically deceived and defrauded

business associates. The letter, which is
dated May II, follows:

WILL GET NO MONEY.
Credits Due Southern States to BE
Applied to Old Debts.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Mr. Tracewell,
of Indiana, controller of the treasury, has
made ruling which will cause an outcry
from several Southern States. In allowing
a claim for 900 in favor of the State of
Virginia for money expended in equipping
volunteer soldiers he ruled that the amount
instead of being paid over in cash should
be applied to the credit of the State on a
debt of $593,O00 to the federal government.
The case will be a precedent and pending
claims for enlisting soldiers in Arkansas,
Florida, North and South Carolina, Tennes-
see and Texas will be similarly credited
when finally passed on and allowed. The
States named owe the government $2.O00,O00,
principal and interest, and have $350000 to
100000 in claims for putting soldiers into
the Spanish-American war. The indebted
ness arose from investments by the govern
ment of trust Indian funds in the bonds of
these States before the war of the rebellion.
The government had to make good the
amount and holds the repudiated bonds. 1t
now sees a way to get back a part of the
cash and will avail itself of the opportunity.
