Hunting for the Spanish Fleet in the

The opinion in Washington is that the
battleships of Admiral Sampson will find
the Spanish warships in the West Indies
to-day or tomorrow. The Herald says

to sail along one Of the radii to reach any
point on the arc, and these radii pass
through the districts which are now being
patrolied by the American scouts.
Assured, therefore, of the prompt dis
covery of the Spanish men-of-war upon
their appearance and of immediate trans

Sampson, the next point to be determined
by the board was as to the place and man.
ner of giving battle, in order that the adj
vantage might be with the American
forces. OF course Rear Admiral Samp
son will give battle wherever he comes
across the Spanish force, and confidence
is felt that he will be able to defeat It.
But should the Spanish men-of-war' ar

feet reaches there, it will be the duty Of

TOO OLD TO GO TO THIS WAR.
Death of Equine Veteran of the
Civil War at the Age of 43.

The only living war horse of the late
war died few days ago at North East,
Pa. The announcement of the death OF
old Ned will cause many veteran to
heave sigh at the thought that an
other war veteran has fallen from the
ranks OF those left after the civil con-
fiict of the sixties. Old Ned was not
pensioner, although he was entirely de-
pendent. He was acknowledged to be
the only surviving member of the
equine race which did service in the
late war. The steed lived to the re-
markable age of 43 years, and died this
month in the stable of his owner, B. F.
Crawford, at North East, which had
been the horses home since the war
closed. Ned served in the armies OF
both North and South, doing his duty
as willingly for one side as for the
other. Yet he was not a deserter from
either. The old nag's history would
make an interesting volume, as he had
been exhibited all over the country.
His teeth marks proclaimed him
years OLD when, in 1854 he was a beau
full black charger ridden by one OF
Earlys raider, who was shot from ols
back in an encounter near Washing
ton. and the horse fell into the hands
of victorious Federal brigade. After
the fight, when those who had lost
their mounts In the battle were sup
piled with new horses captured from
the enemy, Ned was given to b. f.
Crawford, then a sergeant, who rode
him through the rest Of the rebellion.
For several years past Mr.. Crawford
has paraded his pet animal in memorial
events in different cities of the coun-
try, and the sagacious beast had
learned to know Decoration day cele-
bration as we'll as anyone. The sound
of martial music had wonderfully re
juvenating effect on him. When in
parades he could not be managed any
where except directly behind and next
TO the band, and in that location he OF
ten marched unattended Among other
occasions which have been featured by
the presence of this old war horse was
the memorial attending the unveiling of
the monument to the unrecOgniZed dead
of the Ashtabula disaster when he was
as much of an attraction as was the
monument The bones of old Ned will
be set up in the State University a:

AguinaIdo Said to Be Negotiating

MAY BE ONLY PLAYING A PART
Rumor That Scheme Is Foot to
Proclaim the Independence of the
Philippine Islands Under the Protection
ct the European Powers.

The navy department has received
dispatches from Admiral Dewey which
intimate that Aguinaldo, leader OF the
insurgents at Manila, is in communi-
cation with emissaries of Germany and
that scheme is on foot to proclaim
the independence of the Philippine
islands under guarantee of the Euro
pean powers.
The theory is advanced, however,
that the shrewd rebel leader. who has
up to this time manifested the greatest
regard for the United States and i'm
plicitly followed the advice of Admiral
Dewey, is simply playing with the Ger
man representatives in order to discov-

The decision of the sincere friends OF

be regarded as a bad omen. Quite the
contrary. The action seems to have
been deliberately taken under well

as to secure an unobstructed passage
for the measure. If Mr.. Hanna, the
