WOMEN OF THE NAVY.
omcer1' wives md Families Feel
the suspenHe Most Keenly-wnit-
Ing and Hoping.

The women who have experienced the
most mental sufferings and strain re-
sulting from the complications in Cuba
are the wives and families of the officers
of the navy. Few of the enlisted men
are married and most of them are with
out home ties, but the contrury is true
of the officers.
This is n sad time for u.s." said the
wife OF famous naval officer few
days ago. "All we can do is TO wait md
hope. None of the women OF the navy
wants war. Its opportunities for pro-
motion md the winning of glory do not
compensate for the terrible suspcnsc
and anxiety which we have TO endure.
Three of my family are in the navy,
and my earnest desire Is to hear news
OF peace, although | am trying TO be
prepared for whatever happens"
While her husband is looking for or
ders from Washington she and her chill
dren await the issue OF events in the
little New Jersey town which is their
present home. This is the attitude of
nll the women whose fathers, brothers.
husbands or lovers are in the navy.
Their interest in the chances of war is
nS'h uhu leTSonhl lnau that OF
any other class OF people, for war with
Spain means naval action. Those who
are with the southern squadron are in
especial danger. Ever since the blow
ing up of the Maine and the subsequent
mobilizing of the fleet in southern
waters the crying of every "wur extra"
on the street, the receipt of every letter
and telegram and the circulation of
each new rumor OF conflict have caused
quickened tension in officers families
The suspense which the whole nation
las found il hard 10 endure has been
most cruel for them.

All! On land it is the gtrangest
and most surprising things that our

Two armOrclads, three cruisers, six
launches, armed with mitraillcuscs
and caunons, five lighters full OF
dirty and greasy Yankees; all this was
directed toward Spanish soil md
proceeded noisily to MarieI.
But at Maricl were the Corona

ceivcd the hogs at fair range.
And, OH! Cuwardicc never be-
fore seen; those armorclads, those
cruisers, those launches, those militia
men turncl iail to the land and
placed all their hopes i'll flight, thus
saving their skins.

When the women Of kentucky or
OF New York hear of this they will
present you with their best petit
