1t is not generally known that
General Weyler, the Spanish
butcher, was once a resident OF
this country, but such is the fact.
During the civil war he was an
attache of the Spanish legation
at Washington, and while there
became a favorite with the adj
ministration because of his adj
vocacy of the Northern view of
the question then in controversy.
he took quite an interest in mil
itary affairs, witnessed several of
the greatest battles fought in
Virginia, and during Sheridan's
noted raid through the the Shen-
andoah valley served as a volun-
teer aid on that Offices staff.

heroic.
And this suggests the reflec-
ton that mere courage and hero
ism can never atone for the lack
of skill and efficiency. Had the
Spanish crews been as skilled
as they were courageous, our
ships and men would never have
come so scathless out of the fight.
1t is to the combination OF both
qualities in our navy that we
must look for an explanation of
the amazing disparity in the
losses sustained on this memoir
able day.
We close with mention of a
pleasing episode, one that is
highly Characteristic of the man
and in accordance with the best
traditions of the navy. We re-
fer to the message which, ac-
cording to an Associated Press
dispatch, was sent by Commo-
dore Dewey to the admiral of the

Just at the present time, says
the Salt Lake Herald, the news
papers are coming in for more OF
less censure for giving away var
ious plans of campaign, or de-
tails relating to campaigning
plans. 1t is charged that much
OF the information furnished the
Madrid government by Spanish
spies is obtained from newspap-
ers. 1t is now charged that the
failure of the Gussie expedition
under Captain Dorst was due to
the publication by the papers of
all the details belonging to it;
the object of it, the supplies car
ried, the time of departure and
the place of debarl1ation all be-
ing announced from day to day
by the papers, thus apprising
the Spaniards.
Such criticisms of the news
papers are puerile in the ex-
IRENE. There is not newspap-
er IN the country that would
willingly give the least informa-
ton to the Spaniards. If an ex-
petition is being fitted out SO
openly and its destination is so
notorious that the newspapers
make it a daily detail" for a re-
porter, whose fault is it -? 1t is
not the fault of the newspapers
but of those in charge of the ex-
pedition; and if all facts about
1t get into the papers, it is simp-
~ because there has been no eff.
fort to prevent their publication
LII the correspondents at various
ports tell too much, the reason
is that they are told too much.
there is no escaping this conclu-
sion.
1t is the business of the news.
papers to furnish news, and the
people expect them to. At this
Tune the people want ell the news
they can get of the war, and the
papers are going to try and fur
nlsh 1t to them, but with no in.
tentlon to embarrass the govern
ment. The military and naval
authorities have absolute control
of the sources of information of
contemplated movements. and
hey can shut them off whenever
,hey choose. They can exclude
correspondents from the army
md from the fleets if thew so
choose, and can do it arbitrarily
rs well as for cause. The news.
papers have enough sins of their
,wn to answer for, but thew |
mould not be charged with the |
hortcomings of others. The |
nan who will attempt to shift
us plumbers onto some one else

 --% Elixir of Life, or the knowledge
 whereby life might be prolonged. We now know that there is no such thing as an Elixir of Life. But we have learned that life may be prolonged by those who take the right measures.
 Any man or woman who will take care of health and take the right remedies for i'll health, may live to a ripe old age When a man feels out of sorts, when he gets up in the morning tired out after a restless night, and goes home in the evening com pletely knocked out with his days work, without appetite or ambition, he is a sick man. If he does not take the right remedy he will soon be i'll the grasp of consump. ton, nervous prostration, malaria, or sonic other serious malady.
 A man in this condition should at once resort to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis coveTy It is the best of all medicines for hard-working men and women. It makes the appetite keen and hearty. It gives sound and refreshing sleep It tones and strengthens the whole system It invgor- ates the heart and nerves. It makes diges- ton perfect, the liver active and the blood pure. It cures o8 per cent. of all cases of consumption 1t strengthens weak lungs, and cures bronchitis, splitting of blood and obstinate coughs. It is the great blood maker and flesh-buitder. It does not make flabby flesh like cod liver oil, but firm. healthy, muscular tissue. It does not make corpulent people more corpulent. Thou. sands have testified to its marvellous merits. Sold by,all medicine dealers.
 You know what you want. It is not dealers business to tell you.
