consuls in Spain to leave that country,
If they so desire, pending the threat
ened severance of all diplomatic rela-
tions between Spain and this country.
They have not been ordered to leave,

the matter
The effects of the consulates, such.
for instance, as important papers and
furniture, will be turned over to the

sumed like permission will be given to
English consuls in Spain. So far as
the officials here have been advised,
none of the consuls has left his post
in the peninsula.

WILD WAR TALK,
Spanish Diplomat Promises Six
Years of Conflict.

LONDON, April 1O.-Lloyd's weekly
newspaper this morning publishes
prominently an interview with Col.
John Hay, the American ambassador.
whose remarks are of the most discreet
character.
The paper also publishes an interview
with Count de Rascon, the Spanish
ambassador, who is reported to have
said: THE responsibility rests with
President Mckinley. If he makes war
there will be war which will last
five or six years, or forever and will
ruin Spain and the United States. We
shall fully avail ourselves of letters of
marque. The Maine was lost through

movement of coaches, carts, etc., in
the streets of Havana was suspended.
Later on the Cuban capital resumed
the ordinary run of business.
The news Of the American consuls
leaving their posts spread rapidly
about the city and produced consid-
cradle surprise. The matter was talked
about generally, and the remark.
well, let them CO." was heard here
and there. The Spaniards say the fact
OF the consuls leaving has not pro-
~duced the effect which the friends of
the insurgents are alleged to have ex-
pressed. The Spanish patriots also
claim they are taking things coollv
and are awaiting further events with
serenity. They quote many prominent
people as saying there Is no fmpor-
tance in the action of the consuls.

Lieutenant B. A. Fiske, prolific in
ventcr in electrical devices. made some
years ago range finder for automat-
ically finding distances at sea. II is
one OF the most useful contrivances on
shipboard. and is worth an immense
sum to the navy. Another of Lieut..
Fishes inventions was the stadimeter

the distance Of ship frorr the height

ton and distance of the enemy. This
Is fitted on nearly all our ships.
Captain Sigsbee Of the st. Paul, is an
inventor. The navy now uses a deep
sea sounding apparatus and parallel
rulers for navigation Of his invention.
Lieutenant Dashiell invented a
breech mechanism which was a great
Improvement on all that had preceded

ment in 1892, and was introduced ON
many rapid-fire guns. This device en-
abied the man at the breech Of the gun

taken two. In the breech mechanism
the plug had to be turned with one

little or nothing. Nearly every i'm
proyement has been invented by its
naval officers. One instance Of naval
oficer who received compensation for
an invention was that of Chief Con-
structor Wilson, now retired, to whom
the Navy Department paid $4,000 for
an air port-hinge. But most Of the
work of naval officers brain have been

How much the inventive faculty Of

the Navy Department is illustrated
in the case Of Lieutenant Frank F.

and dyspepsia are SO common that only
the sufferer from these diseases knows
the possibilities of misery that inhere in
them. A typical example Of the sufferinxs
Of the victim of indigestion 10 furnished
In the case of John G. Pritchard. He went
On for fifteen years, from bad to worse.
In spite of doctors he grew constantly
weaker, and thought he would die. He
got we'll. however, and thus relates his
experience:
"For fifteen years was great sufferer
from indigestion in its worst forms.

8-inch. 10-inch, 12-inch and 13-fnch

adopted it. These plugs were formerly
handled by hydraulic machinery, but
F1etcher's device enabled this to be
done by hand power by one man. So
successful was the device that one man.
with his left hand turning q crank,
can unlock from the breech Of the gun

draw it to the rear and swing It clear
in seven seconds.
Finally Mr.. Fletcher is the inventor
Of a rapid-fire gun which is now the
standard of the navy. His device is
being used on all the 3-inch, 4-inch, s.
inch and 6-inch guns in the service.
Just before the war with Spain be-
gan Secretary Long recommended to
Congress an appropriation to build q
big powder factory for making smoke
less powder. At the same time he an
nounced that satisfactory smokeless
powder had been made after many
years of experiment, and that this
powder was superior to the smokeless
uowders made abroad. Lieutenant j.
B. Bernadou showed special aptitude
for this work and capacity for the solu-
ton Of the problems involved in the
prosecution of the experimental work
of this nature" said the report of the
inspector in charge of the torpedo sta
ton at Newport This Lieutenant Ber-
nadou is now at Key West recovering
from wounds received while in COM
mand of the Wilslow at Carden2s. It
was in fact Lieutenant Bernadou and
Commander G. A. Montgomery who
invented the smokeless powder Just
adopted by the Navy Department. The
navy is particularly proud of this
achievement Foreign governments
possess smokeless powder, but it
contains nitro-glycerine. which makes
it unreliable and dangerous, and
besides develops high heat
which soon ruins gun. All
countries have been working for the
ideal smokeless powder containing no
nitro-glycerine. and we are the first
to get it. As in many other matters,
our Navy Department stayed behind

The American navy has supplied
hundreds Of the inventions which have
played important parts in the develop
ment Of the modern navy. The first
essential step, the introduction Of the
ironclad and the monitor, was Ameri-
can born. Another initial advance
quite as important in its way was the
construction Of the modern high-power
rifles, requiring in their design q high
order Of mathematical ability and an
intimate knowledge Of the Characters
tics Of modern steel. All guns In the
navy have been designed by Professor
Philip r Alger, a former graduate Of
Annapolis. who has since been trans
ferred to the corps Of the professors
Of mathematics in the navy, and who
Is the highest authority on ordinance
matters in this country, II not in the
world. Professor Alger received a d.
ploma from the Worlds Fair Commits
sion for his system of gun construction,
now in use in the navy.
In order to make these guns efficient,
methods had to be devised for handling
them on board ship; opening and clos
ing the breach for loading, mounting
them on carriages for sighting and
training, protecting them with armor,
supplying them with powder and shell,
developing smokeless powder for their
use, designing primers, fuses, telescope
sights and hundred little accessories
used in connection with their services.
1t was also essential to provide the
necessary appliances for using the mod
ern automobile torpedoes to be fired
from our ships and torpedo boats; ap-
paratus for signaling orders from the
coming tower to the guns and to ev-
cry part of the ship, for measuring
the distance Of the enemy, for counter
mining harbors and clearing channels
and many other devices more or less d.
rectly connected with the ships as a
fighting machine.
To perfect these devices in foreign
navies the government have had to pay
millions Of dollars for improvements
and inventions that tended to make
their guns and ships more powerful
in their keen competition for supre-
macy. In this country, the home of
the inventor, our government had paid

BEACON FIRES IN CHINA,

Tie payment last month of the great
war indemnity from China to Japan
has again aroused the question why so
little patriotism was shown by the Chi
nese during their late war. It is not
generally known that vast secret So
ciety flourishes in that country to OPP
pose the present emperor, and that a
majority of the Chinese army is said
to belong to this society. One reason
for this opposition is that the present
emperor is not strictly a Chinaman.
but belongs to Tartar dynasty.
In China, such beacon fires as spread
the alarm of the Spanish Armada
through England, still call to war.
Some years ago, the story goes, the
emperor sat with a beautiful woman,
looking toward the beacon hills. She
would like to see those waiting piles
lighted, and upon her insisting the
thing was done. The greatest excite
ment prevailed throughout the prov.
inces, and troops came hurrying from
all sides.
When the leaders learned that no
danger menaced, that the fires were
lighted to satisfy the within of a
woman, their wrath fed on their lost
confidence, and with the actual call to
arms the response was slow and un-
enthusiastic. 1t was a repetition Of the
old story in Webster's spelling-book.
Wolf had been cried too often.
You may roughly divide nations as
the living and the dying" Lord Sails
bury declared in a recent address be-
fore the Primrose league. China be-
longs to the second class; but she will
not have existed in vain II her ex-
ample teaches living nations that faith
in their rulers and the patriotism Of
the people are the sure defence Of ma
tons.
