Interesting Preparations for the
Trip Across the Atlantic

New York, March S.-A Cadiz CORE
spondent of the Herald says:
Much interest is taken in the coming
voyage of the torpedo destroyers and tor
pedo boat squadron. Its novelty and the
manner in which the boats will be rugged
are much deliberated upon and may be OF
interest to naval men.
In the Rayo and Azor alone 1t has been
necessary to repair the machinery. On
ton temporary rigging is arranged for
three masts and for small sails to be used
if possible The magazines have been
emptied of war material, 80 as to carry
coal, and not augment the radius of their
action. The torpedo destroyer artillery
on deck has been dsmounted to make
them more seaworthy. All these guns have
been placed in such position that they can
be remounted at moments notice
The transatlantic steamer City of Cadiz
will accompany the squadron. She is filled
with coal and provisions literally up to her
scuppers. She is now fitted as war
transport and has on deck four cannon of
IL centimetIes calibre, two OF 9 cent?
metres, two mitrailleuses. and two rapid
fire guns. In her bunkers she carries a
large supply of coal solely for the squad
ron. One hundred tons is in sacks ready
for immediate use
In order that the trip may not be de-
layed more than necessary. ON the deck OF
the transatlantic steamer is fixed large
spirit and two pipes, which will serve to
launch into the ocean water-t tight cases,
which will contain water, victuals and
fresh bread. In this manner all provis-
ions will be distributed during the voy-
age.
1t is estimated that the squadron will
travel at the rate of 10 miles an hour, 40
days time being taken on the trip. The
squadron will have to be recoaled three
times during the passage. revictualed each

When Gabe heard this news he vowed
up and down that no woman would

Two or three days later Gabe was
out on the range rounding up some

prairie after a refractory steer, when
his horse stepped into a prairie dog

Gabe off and fell on top of him. fractur-

A SENATOR ON WAR PROSPECTS
May Last From Fifteen Minutes to
Three Months.

Concord, n. H., March 9.-Senator Will
lam A. Chandler has given out the fol
lowing interview on the crisis in our rela-
tions with Spain:
"As to the cause of the destruction Of
the Maine. | have no opinion as yet.
Whatever may have caused it, the Incl
dent is not without an important effect
on public opinion all over the world. The
national suspicion aroused against Spain,
or rather Spaniards, has intesified Ameri-
can sentiment against Spanish rule in Gu
ba, and this calamity will hasten
American action and quicken the advent
of Cuban freedom, which, l think, can not
be much longer delayed. -~.-
"Spain will probably not release her
hold upon Cuba without a collision in
war with the United States, which will
last from Is minutes to three months, no
longer That the United States should
run the risk of such short war with
Spain in order to make Cuba free is one
of the plainest dictates of policy and hu-

81 can not doubt that the president has
made up his mind very soon TO take the
necessary steps toward the desired end
and not TO wait until time when it will
be said that he does it merely in order
to get up a war scare and save the 1898
elections to the republican party. The time
for action is now, and it should be taken
without fear of the result"

fame had spread abroad, and preach

berth. He boosted that he had broken
up the church and that there would
never be any more services in the town
while he remained there.
In this, however, Gabe was mistaken,
for services were again held in the
town. and Gabe Tucker was one of the

he was conveyed to town and located
in a room at little hotel. Now at this
hotel there was lady boarder who
had come only the day before. She
was not exactly young and pretty, yet
there was a wholesome freshness and
an expression of goodness about her
that made her very attractive. This
lady took n great interest in Gabe from
the moment when she first saw him,
and when she found that he Rad no
one to nurse him she went to the doc
tor and offered her services. The doc
tor shook his head and hesitated.
THE man needs a woman's care"
he admitted, but he's not worthy of
it. He is a. terrible character"
In what wayT she asked.
He is a tough. He swears, drinks,
CANDLES, fights"
The doctor went on to give brief
account of Gabe's life or deviltry. The
woman. instead of being frightened
from her purpose. was all the more
confirmed in it,
IF he is that" she said. "there is
the more need of throwing kind in
fiuences about him. HIS soul is as pre-
ciOus as any soul on earth. and If Is n

From that day she visited Gabe.
bringing him dainty little morsels of
food and performing many small offices
to add to his comfort. She always
brought a smiling face into the room.
and she was unsparing with kind con
selling words.
At first Gabe resented the wonan's
visits. and she got little from him cx-
cept dark scowlS and a few mumbled
words in reply to her questions. She
took no notice of his ungraciOus con
duct. or at least appeared not to, and
continued to treat him with the same
uniform consideration.
After while her kindness began to
tell on him, and she saw it. though he
tried to keep 1t secret. She saw that
his face frightened when she came in
to the room. and that he listened eager
ly to her words. however much he pre-
tended not to.
At last there came a time when Gabe
could mask his real feelings no longer
and in his rough. brusque way he
poured out his gratitude to his nurse

''who and what you are. Won't you

Il don't care what you belong to. you
are an angel. and 1 will never think
less of you than do now
'Then I'll tell you. l am a preach
er."
Gabe was staggered for a moment,
then he rallied to his promise and kept
it. More than that, when he was able,
he attended the protracted meetings
the woman was conducting. Attended
because she asked him.
The result over it all was that he got
religious and fell in love. or perhaps it
would be more proper to say that he

more of the mounted police, which would
necessitate engaging new policemen. In
this way saving can be effected and the
