CLEVELAND TO SCHOOL BOYs.
Ex-Presfdent Talks to Them ON Sinh
jcct of Good Citizensiin

Ex-Presidcnt Cleveland delivered an ad-
dress 10 the pupils of the LaWrenceyille
N. j., school yesterday afternoon, taking
as his subject Good Citizenship"
Referring to the war and its probable out
come. he said, in part:
Never before in our history have we
been leset with temptations so dangerous
as those which now whisper in our ears
alluring words of conquests and expansion,
and point out to US fields bright with he
glory of war
DO not fail to gain by study and refIec-
tion just appre hension of the purposes
and objects for which our government vas
established, to the end that you may de-
tect ary proposed departure from such
purposes and objects and be able to form
an opinion as to its justification or desir-
ability You will probably be led by your
study and reflection to the conclusion that
cur government was formed for the ex-
press purpose of creating in new world
q new nation, the foundation of which
shou.d be mans self-goVernment whose
safety and prosperity should be secure in
MS absolute freedom from old world COM
Pncatlons, and in its renunciation of all
schemes OF foreign conquest. and whose
mission should be the subsection to ciyiliza-
Gon and industrial occupation of the vast
ccmain on which it has taken root
II you peleFe these thiEgS do not permit
any accusation of ultra and unpros,ressive
conservatism TO trouble you. If then the
suggestion IS made that the time has come
Tor our nation to abandon its Old land
marks and 10 follow the lights of monar-
chical hazards and that we should attempt
10 force the simple machinery of our pop
Ciar and domestic government to serve lhe
schemes of Imperialism, your challenge of
the proposition is entirely in order
III you are satisfied that foreign con-
quest and unnatural extension or annex
ation are dangerous pervers;ons of our na-
tional mission. and if it shall seem to YOU.
IN the light of reason and history. that
such perversons bring in their train a
peoples demor ilization and a decay of
popular contentment and virtue more sure
~ destructive to republics than armies with
banners, you will not be necessarily
wrong"

Twenty-Five British bottoms have been
offered to the War Department by their
owners and agents for transport purposes.
All of these. however, are not yet in Unit
ed States ports, but their arrivals have
been anticipated with view to their ex
animation as soon as they reach here
The general situation regarding the trans
port question is far from satisfactory to
the department, as there is great desire to
obtain additional vessels at once Still the
officials are hesitating about taking steps
to impress ships and reassert the state
ments heretofore made that their prefer
ence Is either to buy the vessels outright
or, as an alternative, to grant American
registers to foreign-built vessels

All the surplus rations at Mobile which
amount almost to 1,000,000, will be shipped
to Miami.
The troops that go to Santiago on the

Capt. Wilde of the Boston on the
Manila Battle

letter from Capt. Frank Wilde of the
cruiser Boston has been received by the
president of the Cumberland Club of Port

tory telegram sent by the club upon recent
of the news of the Manila victory. 1t was
written May II, and Is as follows:
1.-The clubs telegram to Dewey. Wilde
and Dyer has been received, by the first
two. Dyer is at the entrance of the bav
around Corregidor, scouting and cleaning
up all fragments there, cutting wires. dis
arming people, &C., &c. For nv share of
the congratulations will the club pleas Sc ac
cept my best thanks? The victory is as
satisfactory here with us as at home. n
was complete, with no f1ukes or misses n
was fair, stand-up fight. on the grounds
or the Spaniard's own choosing in which
he tried to do his best, but miserably failed.
The cause was the weight, accuracy and
steadinesS of our fire, which simply over
whelmed them. The Spanish ships were
crowded with men. and their loss was
heavy. Manila is now blockaded and ali
supplies by sea are cut off. The insurgent
forces are within ten miles, but, as they are
poorly armed, cannot be counted on to do
much. Women and children have left the
city to a large extent.
"A good story is told Of the British con-
sui, to whom a Spanish lady came. with
doubts and fears and inquiries as to Wheth-
er the Americans were such as described
in the captain generals proclamation ahe
consul said: Madame. honor and virtue
are safer in Manila today than they have
been for three hundred years.

carded shirts and collars. A whin Of cool
air from Casco bay would be q blessing as
a panacea to our prickly heat"
