to live in and afford the men little op
portunity for general training. An
other matter which has received atten-
ton is the promotions TO be accorded
the officers who distinguished them
selves during hostilities. A step was
taken in this direction yesterday by
the submission to the president Of
recommendations by the secretary of
the navy for the advancement of al
the officers of SIMPSONS fleet who dis
tinguished themselves. 1t was an
nounced some time ago that board
would be appointed to decide on all
promotions to be recommended but for
some reason this plan seems to have
been abandoned so far as some of the
chief officers are concerned Mer-
ritt's force in the Philippines is to be

Some Hard Sense.

Life is not a picnic. OF course,
there can be lots OF fun crowded in
to it. in proper way, but on tho
whole it ia a matter of hard and earn
est work.
The men who work the hardest are
the hsppiest.
Those who are happiest in their
work are the most successful.
Every lick you put in now will be
of benefit hereafter. No matter
what your pay may be do the best
that ID within you.
We can't all get rich by lying on
flowery beds of ease while others
fight to win the prize or sail through
each day with colors at the masthead
and every yard of canvas set. Work
is the most healthful, invigorating
tonic that poor human nature can
help itself to.
Remember that If your are well
and busy you must. as a result, be
happy.

SPANS Reply.

1t is. predicted in Paris that SPAN
will decline the American offer of
money, that she will refuse to cede
the Philippines and say to the United
States:
you may take the archipelago be-
cause you have the power to do so.
As you advance we will retire, pro.
testing against greedy aggression.
We will faithfully carry out our part
OF the pledges and leave Cuba and
Porto Rico in your hands. You came
here to engage in discussion under
the terms Of the protocol, but you evil
IDENTIFY meant, when drawing up that
document, to provide conference in
which though we differ, man to man,
you proposed to announce at the pro-
per time what you will do whether we
agree to it or object. Such an atti-

Repeal the Purity Law.

II the next legislature wishes to be
of real benefit to the State. it will re-
peal the Purity of Election law. 1t is
universally condemned by the press
of the State and has TO friends among
those who run for Office. AS a means
of keeping down the expenses of a
candidate it is failure because the
leg-puller exists under it just the
same as he did before the law was
passed. The honest candidate who
wishes to obey the law is hsmpered
by its provisions while the dishonest
one pays no attention to it and makes
his oath to his statement as elastic as
his conscien CO was during the cam
paign.
The honest candidate is, therefore,
at disadvantage and probably loses
an election by keeping his expenses
within the limit of the law while his
dishonest opponent by opening his
sack and paying no attention to the
law wins at the polls. In this way
the law operates directly the reverse
Of what its trainers intended it should.
1t thus offers premium for dishonest
pracuces while it Furnishes the candi-
date who obeys the law. This GER
tainly was not the object aimed at in
placing this law upon our statute
books.
Another effect of the law is to breed
perjury. A candidate who has will
fully evaded the law during his can
vass is not going to let such a little
thing as his oath stand between him
and the fruits of his victory if sue
cessful at the polls. He has staked
all upon the issue and the sworn
statement Of his expenses will be
strictly within the limit allowed by
the law. To do otherwise he would
confess himself law-breaker and
forfeit the fruits Of his victory. The
temptation to commit pejury is great
and he commits it rather than brand
himself publicly as a criminal and
lose his office beside. $685..
AS perjury breeder the law ID a
magnificent success, but as a means
OF enabling poor men to run for Of
flee in this state it is monumental
failure. 1t has failed to accomplish
its purpose and it should be wiped
off our statute books by the next
legislature.

PARIS SAFE IN PoRT.
Big Liner Saluted as She steamS
Into New York.


New York, April S0.-The American Line
steamer Paris arrived from Southampton
this morning at 7:SO o'clock, after a rough
passage of days, II hours and As minutes,
with nine saloon. forty-two second cabin.
and nineey-eight Storage passengers.
The Paris left Southampton April % at
2:O5 p. m. After clearing the land, Capt.
Watkins shaped his course about north
and after a run Of thirty miles headed for
home, keeping a distance OF about thirty
miles from the usual course taken In pre-
vious trips.
Capt. Watkins had no fear that a Span
ish war vessel would catch his fleet steam
er after she got sea room, but It was
thought possible that some craft of the en-
envy might be lurking In the vicinity of
the channel or in the neighborhood of the
Irish coast to waylaw the American craft.
At night every light on board of the
Paris was extinguished and the dead
lights were covered. Strict watch was
maintained to detect the APPROACH of ves-
sells.
Leaving the Lizard with the wind south
east then north-northeast, very light. the
weather became overcast and a long west
erly swell prevailed This condition OF
weather continued until the wind became
westerly and commencing on the 2Sd in
creased to a gale. Rough seas with fog,
rain ana generally thick weather, prevail
ed. on the American coast a heavy north
east gale with high head seas was en-
countered.
The Paris sighted the White Sar Limo
steamer Majestic on April 23 at 5:43 a. m.
In latitude 1885, longitude 1920, and at 7:2G
p. m. of the same day passed a freight
steamer of the White Sar Line bound east
Nothing else was seen on the way across.
The Paris brought sixteen cases Of NUM-
tlons of war and a small quantity OF mis-
ceilaneous merchandise.
The Paris entered the Narrows through
the field of mines and torpedoes at $50
o'clock this morning. and was saluted by
the steam whistles OF passing craft as she
went to her dock.
IT is expected that the Paris will dis
charge her cargo to-day and win be re-
celved by the naval authorities to-mor-
row morning, when her name will be
changed to Yale
The Paris has a crew Of 2s9 and two
mail clerks. She also brought two stow,
aways.

On board the Associated Press dispatch
boat Dauntless, via Key West, Fla, April
SO.-The Dauntless, dispatch boat of the
Associated Press, returned to Key West
this afternoon after a 54-hour cruise Of
one hundred miles along the northern
coast of Cuba.
The Cincinnati was visited by the Daunt-
less yesterday. Capt. Chester and all the
other officers of the cruiser are much
pleased with the result of the lombard
ment of Wednesday. They believe they
rendered the batteries of Matanzas useless,
as they have given no signs of activity
since then. The Spanish troops can easily
be seen on shore from the deck of the Gin
cinnatI.
No seizures have been made recently by
any vessels of the fleet, though the Cincin-
natl held up fishing schooner, whose crew
was badly frightened. They offered their
entire catch for their release The schoon-
er was allowed to go.
There are two small Spanish gunboats
which are evidently trying to escape from
Cuban waters. Capt. Evans of the Iowa
told the correspondent that he had seen
them a long distance off, but they were
very shy and would not come near enough
20 be shot at, and afterward ran back into
port. 1t will be next to impossible for
them to escape the vigilance of the squad
ron now.
Except the Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII,
a hopeless cripple, there is nothing in Ha-
vana harbor which could not be blown
out of the water by the Mayfiower or Man
grove.
All the officers of the fleet positively hun
ger for news from the United States, par
ticularly regarding the movement of the
army, or the doings Of the Spanish ships
at the Cape Verde Islands.
Florida straits is not a sheet of water to
be selected for a pleasure cruise, partc-
ularly for 15O-ton dispatch boat or yacht,
such as are used for carr ylng dispatches.

ton they have 10 take their meals while

which has been the common order of

menced week ago.
The prevailing easterly winds, blowing
i'm direction opposite to that Of the
course oe the Gulf stream, stir up an ug-
ly sea in the narrow channel between the
Island of Cuba and the Florida keys,
which presents more terrors to the news
paper men than any contemplated engage
ment between the American and Spanish
fleet.

Remus. Filed Port Antonio, Jamaica, April
2S.-Don Arseno Linar es Pombo, comman-
dante general of this division of Cuba, pro-
claimed four days ago that every man
between 10 and 50 years of age must en-
roll that night with the volunteers for
military service, under penalty of arres,
and military trial and death.
Senior Chucho Manduley. magistrate of
the high court of Santiago, and known
as an intense Spanish sympathizer, one
of the most prominent in the city, left for
the camp of the Cuban Brig. Gen. Caval-
lors He was accompanied by several
kinsmen and his going produced a vivid
impression.
The exodus from the city has contln-
ued by night, the Spaniards making no
opposition, except that a few men have
been arrested as examples. Five thou
sand persons have left for the country
since the proclamation, four-hfths being
women and children.
The Spanish soldiery now assumes a
bullying attitude and threaten to kin
every Cuban man and to outrage every
Cuban woman left in the city when the
blockade begins.
When the American fleet appears, as 1t
is daily expected to do, all the non-com-
batants will be expelled.
Though the governor of the city. Enrique
Capriles has seized for the government
large store of food in private hands
Many shops stlll do business with small
stocks, the prices doubling day by day.
Monday meat was 10 cents a pound
Tuesday 10 cents and to-day it is a aOO
a pound.
Other prices In gold to-day are: Rice
"a cents pound; beans, 2lc, -four, 1870 and
lard 32c. Chickens are $3.50 a piece.
The governor announced to-day to quIet
public alarm that a ship loaded with pro-
visions was expected but when, where
from and what her name is. nobody
knows. The story Is not believed. The
Spanish soldiers. especially the sick, are
abominably fed.
A new battery has been erected at the
west harbor entrance with four rapid-fire
guns, and this correspondent hears ten
or twelve more rapid-hre, small caliber
guns, will be mounted on MORO and the
cast side battery. The Moro fort has at
least fifty ancient brass cannon marked
1854
There are reports about torpedoes In the
channel and harsor, but they are confus-
ing. Preparations have certainly been
made to lay torpedoes, but, whether It has
been actually done, is not known. Strong
floating mines are ready to be placed.
The military authorities seem to have
little control of the soldiers and the disor-
deriy elements. Spanish silver is at 70 per
cent. premium. The bank notes issued by
the government bank at Havana are prac-
tically worthless, and sometimes pass for
to cents on the dollar

The Portuguese minister Viscount de
Santo-Thyrso, called at the state depart-
ment to-day and gave official notice of
PortugaPs neutrality. Afterward the Wis
count expressed regret at the published
reports attributing delay to Portugal and
disposition to favor Spain as against
the United States. The minister saws that
such reports are unwarranted.
