On arriving at Portsmouth, however, he
found that the 1S-gun brig-sloop Ranger,
built by subscription of patriotic citizens
and presented Ia the Congress, was in
such a state of forwardness that he could
soon get her ready for sea.
The project OF going to France in the
Amphitrite was then abandoned and
Jones was ordered To command the RANGER,
with carte blanche to outfit her and select
his own cruising ground.
The Ranger was an exceedingly fine
ship of her class. She was built OF green
timber which caused her to he Short-lived.

Her armament was also of guns cast in
America-the first in that respect also.
She had II IRON nine Founders. cast at The
Moravian foundry near Bethlehem, Pa,
and four brass skies, cast in Boston from

The Train stopped and Backed.


People on Long Island are learning a lot
Of new lessons nowadays, especially those
living near Hampstead, says the New
York Sun Even the train hands on The
railroads are learning some lessons.
There are no set teachers; just the plain
est and least promising person may act as
instructor
Col. Sanger's provost guard is all around
the big camp at Hampstead witf a post at
every railroad station within call, ard on
the roads leading away from the camp
The other day the train was boarded by
the corporal of the provost guard who
went through examining the passes of the
enlisted men. One quartermaster sergeant
was inclined to argue with the corporal,
and the conductor started the train before
the discussion was ended. Probably the
discussion was heightened from the fact
that the sergeant and corporal both be-
Ionged to the same regiment. At all events,
when the sergeant had learned that the
corporal had the whiphand the train was
about half mile from Hampstead.
About that time my lord, the conductor,
came through the car. The corporal ad-
dressed him cheerfully:
Now, conductor, I'll get you to stop
and let us off"
Don't stop till we get to Garden City"
said his lordship, brisquely
oh, yes, you do replied the corporal,
right here" and with that he pulled the
bell rope. The train slackened up.
What the conductor said can't be printed
comfortably; what he did was to reach
up and pull the rope to go ahead. The
corporal pulled 1t again and then said TO
thesconductor:
Don't touch that rope again. This train
is going to stop right here. If you touch
that rope TN put you under arrest"
The conductor used moS language,
winding UP with, who's running this
train anyway"
To this he got the unexpected answer:
Il am just now-running it for Uncle
Sam"
The train stopped and the angry conduc-
tor yelled: Come now, get off quick
Trains stopped get Off"
Trains going to take us back to Hemp
stead, said the corporal, coolly.
''It's going TO do nothing of the sort"
shouted the conductor, reaching for the
bell rope.
Don't touch that ropeH said the cor
poral sharpy-he had been speaking
rather slowly heretofore. Back the train
up to Hampstead at once, or you and the
engineer and every other train man will
foot it back as prisoners. You had no
business to start the train until 1 had
gone through the cars, and you know it,.
The conductor growled something about
schedule time" but the corporal wouldn' t
down.
The government has got good deal to
say about running this road now" he re
marked. start her back. I'm govern
ment just now, so far as you are con-
cerned."

An AIaaka MnIe story.

The story by Senator Vest about the old
NUKE of Juneau, which rolled into the
ocean blue and drowned himself because
the vegetables in that vicinity of the world
contained little else than water, appears
10 have some foundation, says the Wash
ington Post. Senator Vest told the story
some weeks ago, it will be remembered.
when he was discussing the Alaskan home
stead bill before the Senate. 1t was thought
at the time to be a product of the Missouri
statesman's vivid Imagination.
Gov. Brady, of Alaska, was before the
conferees on that bill not long ago. and
Representative Lacey, OF Iowa, who is
chairman of the House committee on pub
lie lands, poked a little fun at him about
the Alaskan vegetables Senator Carter, of
Montana, also one of the conferees, added
a jest about the mule of Juneau when
much 10 the surprise of the meeting Gov
Brady, instead of taking the remarks in
the humorous spirit intended, proceeded to
a serious and what was claimed TO be a
truthful statement. According to the Gov
ernor's version the animal. having passed
the time when ii could be useful, was turn
ed loose in the streets of Juneau. Some
charitable people strapped to the mules
back contribution box. into which small
gifts of money were to be dropped When
the mule had collected a comfortable sum
the people would take the contents of the
box and herewith purchase him a hearty
meal.
Things went on in this wise with the
mule for some time, until a local wag
placed across the animals back sack of
frozen potatoes. These finally fell to the
ground, and were consumed by the mule
They caused him a terrible pain from
which he could find no relief, and in his de-
spair he roamed down to the beach. where
he pushed his head under the water and
drowned himself. This version of the last
days Of the mule of Juneau told after a
two hours speech in favor of certain pro.
visions of the Alaskan homestead bill
amused the sedate conferees immensely.

Il now looks as If SPANS hold on the
Philippines would be loosened before our
/ troops reach there. The advices from Ma
| Mia show that the lnsurgent leader, Aguin-
aldo, has possession Of all the country
round about that city, and that he is stead
lily. but surely closing in on the Spanish
defenses. News that Manila Is in his po-
session may be looked for any hour.
Admiral Dewey is not lending the in
surgent chief any assistance, but re is
watching his military operations. He IS
insisting that prisoners shall be treated in
accordance with the rules Of civilized war
fare, and he is taking care that there shall
be no unnecessary destruction OF life or
property
One thing in the dispatches which Is cal
culated to attract attention is that native
troops are deserving from the Spanish
army and joining the insurgents. A fair
inference from that fact IS that there is
not strong attachment to Spain either at
Manila or elsewhere in the Philippines.
just as soon as il becomes clear that Spain
is not going to send reinforcements to Ma
Mia and that the Spanish captain general,
August, has but slight chance of hold
ing Manila, all classes of people will drop
away from Spain and show their friend
ship for the Americans.
The cruiser Charleston, which started
from San Francisco for Manila several
days ago, ought to arrive there about June
20, and the first transport with troops
ought to arrive there by July l. AS soon
as our troops begin to arrive peace will
reign in Manila, provided the insurgents
have succeeded in taking the city by that
time. If they haven't taken It, Admiral
Dewey viii take it quickly when he has
troops with which TO hold it after he takes
it
The situation in the Philippines looks
promising for us. Spain has not sent re
Inducements there and there is ground
for doubling that she intends to do so.
She could not get them there now as soon
as our troops and additional war vessels
viii arrive there. For her 10 send rein
forcements to Manila would be to invite
another disaster for herself in the Phil
ippines.

The war department. permitted the fact
that Gen. Shafter, with the troops under
his command, sailed from Tampa on
Wednesday 10 be known. but it refused
to give out any Information in respect to
Gez. Skaters mission or destination. Fhe
general belief is that he has gone to Sanu-
ago, and that within a day or two We shall
hear that he has landed his troops near
that place and has taken, or Is engaged
in an effort to take, it,
Still, it Is not clear why the government
should desire to capture Santiago unless
It is not satisfied that the Spanish fleet
there is securely shut in the harbor. If
the Merrimac completely closes the mouth
of the harbOr, one monitor or cruiser
ought to be sufficient to prevent the Span
iards from removing the obstruction from
the channel. Admiral Cervera and his
squadron is just as useless to Spain shut in
Santiago harbor as il 1t were tied up to
the docks at Key West or New York. And
blockade runners are as effectually shut
out of Santiago as the Spanish squadron
is shut in It Is not easy to see, therefore,
what is to be gained by capturing Santiago
assuming that it is Gen. Skaters mission
to capture it, If it were in our possession
we should be very little, if any nearer,
the end of the war, because, for a year
or more, the insurgents have had possess
sion practically of all the country in that
part of Cuba.
However, in view of the fact that the
public is not informed of the plans of the
government, and doesn't even Know that
the plans include the capture of Santi-
ago it may be premature TO say that noth-
ing is to be gained by taking possession
of that place. Gen. Blanco cannot be
reached from there, and Spain will
not feel that she is being driven out of
Cuba as long as her flag floats at Havana
