According to sdvices via Bayonne the
battleship Pelayo was completely fitted
and equipped at Carthagena and has gono

her boilers.

Verde has really been waiting for the ar
rival Of the Pelayo and the Alfonso XIII
and other men Of war. but now that Por-
tugal has declared neutrality the feet
will be compelled 20 sail without delay,
whether reinforced or not.

member him as remarkably nervy lad
keen, quick witted and yet quiet and
never disposed to blow his own horn.
The published accounts Of his self pos
session at the time of the explosion of
the Maine did not surprise me in the
least. 1t is what would have expected
of him.
If he has said he doesn't know any
thing about what caused the explosion,
you can rely upon it that it is true.

was something that he was in nowise

lNDlANA's BOY PATRIOT.

He Sent His Savings. Twenty-four Two
Cent Stamps. to Help Build Warship.
In Secretary Longs mail the other
day was an envelope containing "a Q
cent postage stamps and this letter from
Dan Wallingford, years old, of 442
North Penn street, indianapolis:
81 have been wanting to do some
thing for my country. I think now is
the time, SO I send you all the pennies
have to help build a new ship. %
There was another note in the en-
velope from Dan 8 mother. She said the
boy was great reader Of American his
tory and patriotic literature and had
written the letter and sent the stamps
entirely without suggestion from any
other person. The stamps were pur-
chased with money from his savings
bank and represented all it contained.
An appropriate letter Of thanks will
be sent to the young patriot. The navy
department. does not know what to do
with the stamps. Officials Of Secretary
Longs Office say that they think the
next battleship could appropriately
be named the Dan Wallingford, but
the law provides that all, battlsships
shall he called after the states of the
Union. Perhaps the very smallest tor
pedo boat which congress will authorize
this year may be named in his honor.

This remedy is intended especially
for coughs, colds, Group, whooping

ais have been received, giving accounts
of its good works; of the aggrivating
and persistent coughs it has cured; OF
severe colds that have yielded prompt
ly to its soothing effects, and of the
dangerous cases of Group it has cured,
