THE EQUAL OF ANY.
Michigan Reserves the Finest i'm the
United States.


Today the Michigan Naval Militia
is the equal of any similar organiza-
tion i'm the country. Senator Davis,
chairman Of the senate committee on
foreign affairs said that the Michigan
battalion was the finest exemplar of the
Naval Reserve of the United States
After inspecting the battalion last sum-
mer, Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
made the following report: Il have
nothing but praise for the workmanlike
way in which their duties were per-
formed. No battalion on the coast can
make a better showing. The discip-
line is excellent. The commissioned Of
ficers, aside from the commander, who
is a Naval Academy graduate, have
all worked their way up through the
ranks, and the seamen, ordinary sea-
men and landsmen are, for the most
part, business or professional men,
who largely pay their own expenses,
who are actuated simply by sincere
spirit of patriotism, and who show by
their efficiency the effect of painstak-
ing and faithful performance Of duties
which must often be irksome"
IT was not until a few months ago
that the Michigan battalion had a boat
on which to make their headquarters
The general government placed the old
United States steamship Yantic at
their disposal. and the state has Just
paid a bill of $1,000 for towing the
boat to Detroit and putting il in shape
for use.
Michigan is now represented in the
United States navy by 225 as sturdy
young men as can be found in the

FRIDAY, JANUARY 2l, 1898.
Notes Of the Day.

BY the votes of l6S Republican mem
bers Of the House of Representatives
yesterday, the Cuban belligerency
amendment to the diplomatic and con-
sular bill was killed, and the party
definitely put upon record as against
the cause Of a brave neighboring peo-
pie struggling for liberty. cuba is now
a party question. Madrid newspapers
are bowling with delight that il is so.
They say that in that condition they
will have until the end of this Admin
stration to oppress, torture, outrage
and butcher. 1t is indeed a great vic
tory for Spain; the only one that ma
tion has achieved in a good while 1t
may act as q salve to feelings lacerat-
ed b the thought that Gen. Aranguren
is amusing himself by whipping col
umns of Spanish troops almost within
sight of Havana. But we are afraid
that all this gloating glee viii be short
lived. Even that vote in the House
did not make Dupuy de LONE happy.
In fact he is reported to be quite 9TH
er-wise. He sees in the gathering Of the
ships at Dry Tortugas an intention to
pounce down upon cuba, and believes
that Hits speech was a confession Of
such purpose. Probably he is unduIy
excited. The Government may be
trusted not to interfere, unless ordered
to do SO by the SpanisL-Cuban bond
holders and the Anglo-AmeriCan Sugar
syndicate.
