likely that the decisive victory gained
by Adm. Dewey's squadron may open
the eyes of Spain to the seriousness of
the conflict upon which she has en-
tered. In official circles it is regarded
as almost certain that trouble of a
most critical kind will confront
the Sagasta government within SPANS
own borders. 1t is pointed out that
the Spanish people have been led to
believe that their navy was invincible.
and the bitter disappointment that
will ensue over the result of the first
engagement of the war is likely to
precipitate internal dissentions, if not
a revolution.
Another result of Adm. Dewey's
victory it is thought may be action on
the part of the powers of Europe to
induce Spain to abandon what is re-
garded as a hopeless contest for her.
Representations may be made to Spain
that she would better relin-
guish her hold upon Cuba
than to risk losing all her
West Indian possessions and the Phil
| ippines as we'll 1t is believed to be
not unlikely that the representations
will indicate that, since Spanish honor
has been satisfied by a conflict, Spain
can now yield to the inevitable and ac-

A Small Reward.

The engine driver who took charge
of the train from Falkenberg to Leip-
sic on December 13 prevented an acci-
dent in very ingenious and plucky
manner. Between the stations Tor
gau and Mockrehna he noticed that
the rails running parallel to his own
were broken, and that the next train
that would pass over them must in
evitably be wrecked. He at once
wrote few words explaining what he
had seen and giving an exact descrip-
tion of the place, and when passing q
group of railway workmen he flung
the paper to them, which he had first
rolled round piece Of coal. They
read the warning, sent kilograms to
the stations interested. the trains were
stopped in the nick of time, and the
accident happily prevented. This
praiseworthy conduct of the engine
driver was duly brought to the notice
of his superiors, and he has just been
rewarded with present of two shill-
ings. Even life is cheap in the

A House Set ON Fire by . Poultlcs.

Fire insurance companies have all
sorts of experiences and their officers
can tell many curious stories. One OF
the queerest fires fell within the busi-
ness of the Connecticut Fire Insur-
ance Company, of this city, recently.
A house was set on fire by bath
tub and the tub was set on fire by q
poultice. A man in Western city
was suffering from bad cold, and his
wife, at tho doctors orders, prepared
a poultice for his chest When she
started to put it on it proved to be too
hot. Accordingly she took it to the
bathroom and set it into the bathtub
to cool. This happened to be fine
tub lined with celuloid, which served
as q sort of enamel. The heat of the
poultice started the celluloid a-going,
and the burning tub set things going
generally. The department was called
out, and the house was we'll wet down,
for which the company had to pay.
This, so far as is known, is the first
instance on record where bathtub
set house on fire or where poul-
tice kindled bathtub. Detroit Free
