To Bombard American Cities.

It is reported here from Madrid that
the destination of the Spanish fleet.
which is said TO have been at sea for
some days, is unknown to any one but
the minister of marine, Admiral Ber-
mejo. But, 1t is added, that news is
expected before long at the Spanish
capital of the bombardment of Ameri-
can coast towns.
The reports from Madrid also say that
the Spanish naval critics are satisfied
that Spain can easily force the block
ade of Cuba when she desires to do so,
but in the meantime, 1t Is explained,
as the governors Of Cuba and Porto
Rico have advised the Spanish govern
ment that they do not need the fleet,
the government has decided to utilize
the warships elsewhere"

Battle Expected shortly.

Shortly afterward another dispatch
arrived from the captain general of the
Philippine islands declaring the mill
tary measures be is taking to supposs9
the action Of the Spanish squadron and
to defend Manila, Cavite and other
places against any American attempt to
land in combination with the insur-
gents. The news soon reached the
clubs and the newspapers and created
an immense sensation. The minister of
marine expressed the belief that the
United States squadron would reach
Manila i'm about sixty hours, and
battle, therefore, Is expected in about
three days The naval men here who
are acquainted with the Philippine ISL

take up positions near Cavite, so as to
be supported by the batteries there and

Lieutenant Rowan's Exploit.
The exploit of Lieutenant Rowan in
landing near Santiago has been known
for several days to both the United
States and Cuban authorities, as they
co-operated in executing this move.
The Cuban authorities here furnished
the guides and necessary papers to see
Lieutenant Rowan through the Cuban

points on the Cuban coast one north
and one south, respectively, with a
view to effecting junctures with both
General Gomez and General Garcia
Now that Lieutenant Rowan is on his
way to effect juncture at Santiago, it
is not improbable that another juncture
will be made by way of Sagua. The
nrst purpose of these movements, ii is
understood, is to bring about a full
equipment of insurgent forces. rather
than to secure joint movement be-
tween them and the United States
troops. Ii is said that Garcia and Co
mez together can muster $4,000 men.
and that they will be able to make a
strong forward movement on Havana
as soon as they have arms, ammuni-
tion and medical supplies.

operation with the blockade now in
progress by the United States warships
In this connection there is renewed talk
of a recognition Of the Cubans, at least
their beligerency, and possibly their in
dependence, and confident hopes were
expressed in high Cuban circles that
recognition would be granted within
two weeks. One of the first effects Of
this, Il is said. would be to give the
Cubans an official status In Washing
ton, instead of the present unofficial
status. The conferences now held with
General Miles and other officials are
being productive Of important results.
and yet they are unofficial In character.
owing to the unrecognized status Of the
Cubans.
Warrants Formal Recognition.
Now, however, that Garcia and Co
mez are being recognized as material
factors in the contest, and are being
treated with by the war department,
the desirability of their recognition, at
least as belligerents, is being urged as
warranting formal recognition. 1t is
said the cooperation already estab-
lished is In itself a recognition of the
de facto existence Of the Cuban army
and of belligerency, and that the de
jure recognition should follow. While
these hopes are renewed in Cuban cir
cles, II cannot be learned that the ad-
ministration has modified its attitude
against recognition of any character.
In the event Of Cuban recognition II is
probable that President Palma OF the
Cuban junta would be the first minister
accredited from Cuba, with Senior
Quesada as charge d'affaires at Wash
ington, and Senior Albertini as first Sec
retary President Palma spends most
of his time in New York. leaving Sen

Madrid, April 2S.-An official dispatch
from Manila announces that the Span
ish fleet has sailed to take up it's posi-
ton to meet the United States squad
ron. The latter had not been sighted
when the cable message was sent, but
the American warships were expected
at any moment.

which he announces that he expects
hourly to hear of an engagement be-

London, April 2S.-According to spe-

the Spanish minister of marine, Ad-

REGRET.

Time was when twilight wrapped the earth
Within its dim, enchanted hazea.
She always met me ct tho gate
Amid the sleepy Snow white daisies.
The vesper robins sang Of love:
The moon smiled sos.ly from above.
Her little hand rcposed in mine;
Her head against my shoulder nestled;
Her voice was gentle as the dews
That on the vine leaves sweetly rustled.
She said whatever might betide
Her only Joy was by my side.
The stars looked curious when we kissed.
Full fiercely piped the jealous crickets
The frelies round her golden head
Flew from the misty meadow thickets.
She seemed an angel all in white,
With airy little frills bedight
But now, alas, those happy days
Have vanished like dream Of heaven.
She rides wheel and never more
find her waiting me at even.
In fact, we scarcely ever meet.
We only race from street to street.
In vain plead, Pray stay awhile
And to my tender accents listeni"

With cheeks aglow and eyes a-glisten,
And off she flies DER hill and plain,

Early Rabylonian surveyors.

In the Zeitschrift Fur Vermessungs-
wesen Professor Hammer directs atten
ton to Babylonian plan depicted on
clay tablet found in the excavations at
Tello and now preserved in the Con-
stantinople museum. The plan was
made about 5000 years before the
Christian era and represents an estate
belonging to King Dungi. 1t is of i'm
portance not only as contribution to
the early history of surveying, but also
as a confirmation of the views on Baby
lonian measures of length and of area
propounded by Reisner at meeting of
the Berlin Academy of Sciences on
April 8, 1896
A copy of the plan has been examined
by Eisenlohr, the eminent authority on
Egyptian archaeology, and he claims to
be able to read from the cuneiform in
scription the names of the two survey
ors engaged. On one side of the tablet
there is a dimensioned sketch of the
plan of the estate not drawn to scale.
The estate is divided by the survey
lines into rectangles, right angled tri-
angles and trapeZiums. In each case
the area is stated, two results obtained
by different methods being given. Eisen-
lohr has plotted the survey, and his
calculations of the area agree with the
results given ON the tablet. On the
other side of the tablet the areas of the
various portions are added together,
two sets of figures being used, and the
arithmetioal mean taken as the correct
area.
The unit adopted, the "gan, is
thought to be equal to A, 1919 square me-
ters. The absolute measures are, how
ever, of slight Importance. More impor-
tant is the fact that land surveying was
carried on 4, 600 years B. c., apparent
" in an accurate manner, and certainly
with check measurements Mature.
