THE least ground for suspicion
of timorous irresOlution on the part
of the United States government
puts this nation at woful disadvan-
tage SO far as the Spanish or other
European governments attitude is
concerned. The Spanish govern
ment is greatly emboldened by it,
and it makes active enemies out of
mere passive ones. As instances:
Notice how hostile the tone of the
Europeans became when. the Presi-
dent sent to Congress the Maine
Board of Inquiry report with col
orless message; mark how the hos
tile expression became more en-
phatic and widespread after his
recent message on the Cuban ques-
ton was sent in. The United States
enemies need to be treated like a
trainer treats a cage of lions: use
the whip without a trace of fear,
no matter how much they snarl.

The anxious inquiry of Uncle
Sam now is "Where is that squad
ron of four big armored Spanish
warships and three swift torpedo
boat destroyers?" That squadron
is the great menace now. If it comes
to Porto Rico both the flying squad
ron's and the North American
squadron's battleships will be nee
essary to meet it. If it strikes the
northeast Atlantic coast of Amer
lea there will be mighty hurrying

Died, on Wednesday, April 9th,
after an illness of two weeks, Miss
Maggie Day. Deceased lacked but
few days of being rs years old.
She had a large circle of friends and
relatives, who esteemed for her low
ing disposition and Christian spirit.
She became a member of the Chris
tian Church in 1882 and had been
an active worker in the Sunday
school for many years. She was
also an active member of the Y. p.
S. of C. 4. and will be missed in
the C. w. B. M. of this place. Tru-
ly her life, short as it was, was well
spent in the service of the Savior.
After a beautiful and appropriate
discourse by Elder Irwin, Thurs
day, her remains were inferred at
Gilead burying ground. The fam
lily have the sympathy Of all in
their sad bereavement.
Though here life was light and sun
shine;
Though here home was naught but
joy;
In his goodness God called her home
To receive her rich reward.
In fancy now we see her
Standing at the Savior's throne;
And we think we hear the angels
whisper:
Maggie, dear, you're welcome
home"
And today the Sabbath church bell,
AS its rich tone fills the air,
Is sad though sweet reminder,
OF our dear one over there.
To her Savior she was faithful,
And here life will ever shine
In the hearts of friends and Chris
tians,
In the home Of kindred kind.

Great Victory.

The Asiatic Squadron under
Commodore Dewey. the enemy fir
ing at 1t, slipped over the mined
entrance to the bay of Manila,
Philippine Islands, Saturday night,
April 30th, and at daybreak Sun
day morning took positions for a
battle with the Spanish feet and
land batteries. The guns soon be-
gan to roar. At half past Z o'clock
the Reina Maria Christina was
afire from the shooting. At IS O'Clock
Admiral Montejo left her for the
gunboat lsla de Cuba. At the same
time the Castillo, the next best ship
Of the enemy, was burning. Cap
tain Cadarso, commanding the
Christina, lost his life. Both these
ships were destroyed completely.
A shot caused the small Don Juan
de Austria to blow up, killing her
commander and many Of the crew.
The American feet withdrew a
short distance at 9 o'clock to land
aparty, soon resuming the fight.
Then the Spanish Mindanao and
Ulloa caught the fury Of the Amer
lean fire and were badly used up.
The enemy reiterated as far as they
could, sinking two or more of their
ships to escape capture. The fore
going coming from Spanish &C
counts makes it plain that the en-
emy's feet was nearly completely
wiped out.
