may. perhaps, remember that her moth

Mecklenburg- Strelitz. was voted the
prettiest royal lady in the Jubilee
pageant OF 81; and she still looks mar
velously young 10 have a daughter aged
twenty. Prince Francis is twenty eight.
He is very handsome young sprig. but
inclined to be extravagant. 1t is fam
lily failing with the Tecks to be out at
elbows. By the way. at the private sale
OF the effects OF tho late Duchess OF
Teck, the iewelry-as was only right
passed into the hands Of the Duchess Of
York. That much-tried young person
is now looking little brighter, having
got her husband afioat once more. He
has been 30 ailing and miserable OF late
that everyone is thankful to see him
restored to his beloved navy; and it is
hoped that sea breezes and congenial
employment may hearteu him up.
Little Alexander Of Battenberg is
another enthusiastic sailor. When the
authorities Of the Britannia offered to
make some relaxations Of the rules in his
favor. and his mother declined the in
diligence, the young twelve-year- ap-
plauded Justify. "Why, want to be
treated just like anybody elee" cried he.
So the Coburgs are not coming to
town after all. This gives the last touch
OF dizziness to the very Unexpectedly dis
appointing season. What with the
weather, the absence Of all the young
princesses, the bad times and the decis-
ion OF the Americans that it would be
unpatriotic to entertain much during
war time, things are decidedly slow. so
that the debutantes and tradesmen are
grumbling right and left. The Marl-
boroughs have come home; but / hear
they are going to spend most OF their
time at Blenheim. One person at least
eeems satisfied, however, that there is to
be plenty more gsyety, since she has just
announced her arrival in town for the
season." This is Lady Mary Saurin-
the Earl Of Harrowby's aunt-aged nine
ty-eight! This cheerful individual
danced at the Waterloo Ball. She mar
ried Admiral Saurin. who died in the
year of their golden wedding. and she
has been a widow twenty years! The
Duchess of Cleveland and Baroness
Burdett- Coutts- still youthful at eighty

Another apparently confirmed bache-
lor has been caught by feminine charms
at last. This ia the Earl Of Stradbroke.
whose engagement to Miss Helena
Keith Frazer lie just announced. The
Earl is thirty FIVE, very smart and popu-

married without evincing ahy desire to
emulate them. The bride elect is Lord
Dudley's cousin. Her mother is the
daughter Of the late Nine. de Fake
Whose first husband was q Ward; and
she is also related to all the handsome

LIVE TOPICS OF BERLIN.

Nordenhaom a Naval Stronghold.- The government intends to transform Nordenhaom, which the North German Lloyd company has abandoned, into a naval stronghold. The preparatory work has been begun, but great se- crecy is maintained The reichstag will not be informed regarding the matter until all preliminaries have been completed.
 To Remain German Citizens.-At a meeting of the colonial society at Dant- zic on Tuesday, at the instance of the president, resolution provides that no German, no matter where he may emigrate hereafter, shall lose his nar tionality, except on his own initiative A bill embodying the resolution, which is indorsed by the emperor and by many members of the reichstag, will be introduced at the coming session.
 Bismarck's Health Betfer.-Prince Bismarck is regaining his health. He is able to walk aagin and is as talka- tive and keen-witted as ever. In the last week he has taken several drives.
 No San Jose Scale Found.-Since March the orchards throughout Ger many have been thoroughly searched for the San Jose scale. The Prussian minister of agriculture, Baron Won Characterization now reports that no sign of the San Jose scale has been found, although another insect closely resembling it has been discov- cred in large numbers.

BARRED WIRE TROCHAS.
Not Expected, They Will Give the
 American Forces Much Trouble.

Washington, July 9.-The Span iards are not to have monopoly of the barbed wire trochas." said Gen. Corbin today. "Shafter's army has about 150 tons of this wire, and it will be used to protect our troops from any sudden advance of the Spaniards."
 The officers of the army do not an- ticipate much trouble in getting the American troops beyond the Spanish barbed-wire trochas. A plan has been adopted which it is thought will prove entirely effective The heavy artillery of the army will be advanced so as to drive the Spaniards back, and when they have retired a sufficient distance a charge will be ordered Of troops, each pfan in which will be pro vided with ar&immense pair of shears for cutting the wires. It will be the work of but few minutes to cut down a sufficient length of the trocha
 to let the troops by. The vantage gained will be held until the big guns can again be moved forward, and the same tactics will then be used against the next trocha This whole business of getting by the barbed-wire trochas was well considered by the engineer officers of the army before Gen. Shaf- ter's expedition sailed The plan
 which has been outlined was consid- cred the best that could be adopted, and a large number of wire-cutting shears were purchased by the govern ment to be used for this purpose, and were slowed away on the transports which carried the expedition to San tiago.
 The barbed-wire trocha is an inven- ton of the Spaniards. It is of pecul- far construction It consists of two or more barbed-wire fences close to- gether, between which are strung heavy coils of barbed wire. It forms
 a well nigh impossible barrier unless there is some way of cutting it down, but with the means the American troops have for doing this very thing it is not likely to seriously impede the advance of Gen. Shafter's army Just how many of these barbed-wire defenses the Spaniards have between Sevilla and Santiago is not known. It is understood that there are several Some of the officers at the war depart ment, who have given some attention to these trochaS, are of the opinion that they may do the Spaniards more harm than good, as if the guns of the
 Americans strike the heavy coils of
 wire between the fences, the barbed
 wire will be carried along in the di-
 rection of the Spanish ranks, and is
 likely to carry death and destruction
 among them at fearful rate.

The intimation that the attempt to put an end to the commlssion for set cling our differences with Canada by cutting of the necessary appropria- tion is the result of Russian intrigues at Washington can hardly be accepted as true without definite proof. No doubt Russia would like to see the present good understanding bstween the United States and Great Britain at an end. But is it possible that any of our senators can be won to what is practically treason to their coun. try's interests by such arts?

President Zalayo of Nicaragua ap- pears to have seriously complicated the canal question. The thirty years franchise received by an English com pany, which is to have the exclusive right to navigation on Lake Nicaragua, really contravenes the privileges granted to the United States. Per haps the new development may not signify much, nevertheless, since it is so certain that the deal made is honeycombed with corruption. The s5,O00,00O paid for the franchise does not go to the state directly, but to the officials. Yet it is clear that these men have a perfect right to enter into a contract for the republic. Possibly the government can brush the whole affair aside, but what will the English syndicate do when it tries to?

Emperor William is a good deal of a chump but we imagine that recent events in the neighborhood of San tiago will cause him to be more mod crate in his feelings regarding the fu- ture of the Philippine islands. The United States will brook no interfer- ence by William or any other foreign potentate. The Philippines will be ours by right of conquest, and the for eign power that attempts to mix up in the settlement of the question is apt to get it's fingers burned. Uncle Sam is abundantly able to take care of the questions resulting from this war.

The practice that prevails in some Arizona postofices, of regarding sec ond-class mail matter as of no especial importance, must be stopped, and The Republican has addressed itself to the task of stopping it. There is no reason why newspapers sent through the mails should not reach their destina- tiOn promptly. Care1essness in a postofice employe is unpardonable. There is a good deal of it in this re- zion, and the postoffice department is in duty bound to see that a stop is put to it. When newspapers in the mails are accorded as much consideration as letters Arizona will take a distinct step forward. The Republican will do all that is possible to bring about this desirable condition.

Senator Wellington of Maryland has denied the remarks attributed to him and declares that he does not want our army recalled from Cuba or Dewey or dered to capitulate. Consequently the Springfield Republican is very indIg- nant at 'the credulity of newspapers that swallow. obvious falsehoods." But the opponents of imperialism" have expressed so many extraordinary sen timents that incredulity at anything they are credited with saying is hard ly to be expected.

WHO CAPT. LUNA WAS.

Had Been Sheriff in New Mexico
 Father Delegate in Congress.
Arizona republican., 1898-07-10

Capt. Maximi1liano Luna, one of the rough riders killed at Sevilla, was one or the best known young men in the territory of New Mexico, where his family was very prominent The town of Los Lunas, in Valencia county, where he was born, was named after the family. Max was about 30 years old. His father, the Hon. Tranquilino Luna, sat in the national house of representatives as delegate from the territory in the early eighties.
 Max Luna was a very talented young man, who had been we'll educated. He spent several years at Jesuit college in Las Vegas, N. NJ, and later entered Georgetown College, intending to pre- pare himself for West Point. His talents were in the line of literature rather than mathematics, however, and he decided not to take the exam nation, rowing disposition having seized him in the meantime. He went with a friend to Cuba, and spent sev- eral months on the island. Return Ing to New Mexico. he entered polit- teal life as a republican, and was elected sheriff of Valencia county, a very important office in that region.
 His election to an office such as this, fraught with many dangers, was an indication of the esteem which his neighbors had for his courage. Luna was a very small man, hardly such as would be associated with the office of sheriff of a. New Mexico county. But he was fearless, and had grown up among the dangers of frontier life which to him seemed matters of ordi- nary moment.
 He wrote and spoke English like an educated American. and was thor oughly conversant with the Spanish language, which he used at home He was an eloquent speaker and a musi- elan of no mean ability He was also an enthusiastic admirer of baseball which he played very we'll. In fact, all his associations were American.
 Capt. Luna married a daughter of Major Alexander. S. B. Reyes, U. S. A., retired, a few years ago. His par ents are both dead

NO NEED TO WORRY.

The London Spectator, which is taking great interest in the war and the questions connected with it, ex- presses the fear that we are unpre- pared to cope with the conditions aris- ing from it, and that when we see to what ends the war is leading us we shall be reluctant to accept the logical conclusions. In it's last issue the Spec tator said:
 'One thing is very curious in all this matter, and that is the scanty evidence of American opinion which reaches Europe. What do all these quiet mill lions of working freaholders and in dustrious citizens, who live away from the newspaper correspondents think about the. progress of the war? Are they aware that their country stands at the parting of the ways, that her external policy must be radically modi- fled, and that she is engaged in a war which may so develop that it will oc- cupy years, create national debt and leave the United States with power full army and the second fleet in the world? Do they think of peace, or have they made up their minds that there shall be no peace until Spain begs for it and surrenders her colo nies? Above all, have they thought of the possibility of the war extending, and what, in that case, they will order their government to do?"
 The Washington Star takes issue with the Spectator in a manner that will commend itself to our people. "This is founded" it says, "upon the views first set forth in certain pro- Spanish circles in the United States that the war is the work of politicians and that the mass Of the people know little about it. Nothing could be fur ther from the truth. The Cuban ques- tion was under discussion in this coun- try for more than three years before war was declared. Freedom for Cubs was feature of the national cam paign in 1896. Both parties declared for it. The present congress, which was elected that year, was virtually in- structed on that issue, and when il voted for war, all efforts to settle the difficulty by other means having failed it acted directly in conformity with the l national wish

Notwithstanding the fact that some very prominent men are exclusively engaged in it, state and municipal pol itics seems like pretty small business at a time of national agitation like the present.
