 Havana, April 26.--va London-capta,n General Blanco has cabed the government at Madrid to the effect that the Spanish squadron of war ships may be utilized elsewhere, as he can account for the de. fcnse of Havana without the assistance of the fleet.
 Madrid April 26.-The general public hero is in complete ignorance regarding tho Spanish war ships movements The news papers make no mention of them while fully recording the tactics of the United States fleet.
 Judging from the available advces Spain appears to have the tactics of the badger. The Liberal says: We are inside our homes, Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philip pine Islands, and inside we will remain until you come and drive us out. in fulfill ment of your arrogant boast"
 It is generally believed that in co3s3n- ance with this policy the Spanish fleet, unless compelled to fight will avoid en- agreements and the fastest ships will be employed to destroy the commerce of the United States.
 In the Cortes Marshal Chast euloglzed the army in Cuba and recalled his experience forty-five years ago when as captain gen- eral of Cuba he ordered the forts to fire on the Anglo-American fleet which was obliged to retire. He said he hoped Gen- eral Blanco would fill his promise to come through the conflict dead or victorious. (Cheers.)

The now bankruptcy law is causing II
stir among the attorneys In various

There are some sidewalks in Rcyn-
oldsville that are in very bad condition.
All sidewalks should he kept in good
repair. We believe the sidewalks in II
town should be built and repaired
by the proper authorities at the
expense Of the tax payers, just the
same as the streets are kept up.
The sidewalks are built for the coven-
ience Of the public and the tax payers
should pay the expense of the same.
Because man or woman saves their
money and builds home, which adds
to increase of valuation of the borough,
is no good reason why he or she should
be at an expense in keeping up side
walk to accommodate the public. The
expense OF sidewalks certainly should
be borne by the taxpayers. II this were
done perhaps the sidewalks would be
kept in better condition than they are
now in. True. If the sidewalks were
added to the list of taxes, the property
owners would have to help pay for the
sidewalks, but the amount that would
be received from non-property owners
would be quite help in paying the
sidewalk expenses.

Stokes Saloon.

AS an example of u more innocent
and less dangerous saloon than those
drunkard-making ones, would mention
Stokes soda water fountain saloon. AS
no one gets drunk at Stokes place, it is
in evidence to show that saloon is not
necessarily bad and dangerous place.
But saloon need not confine itself to
soda water in order to be innocent and
harmless. 1t may freely dispense any
thing wholesome and Notwithstanding
in quantities not less than n gallon or
two.
Strong drinks make saloon very
dangerous place, unless 1t is regulated
in such u manner as to avoid these risks
which attend the free handling of all
dangerous things and substances. II
strong drinks have any value at all as
beverage, they are at least not safe to
handle freely and, therefore, we need
the same laws against their careless
dispensation as we enact against other
careless things and places. II the gov
ernment see fit to guard against danger
in one direction, why should it not do
so in every other? II even dangerous
sidewalk is worth legal attention, why
not dangerous saloon?
The only true solution Of the much
debated drinking question is this:
drinking is more an evil In itself than
Is eating, and both habits are what we
make them, either healthful or harm
full. AS rule most people know how
to eat decently and harmlessly, but how
to drink harmlessly and wisely is les
son which some can never learn, and
for all such-babes that they are-we
need a mother OF laws to take care of
them.
Some people dissipate themselves by
drinking and some by eating. The
proportion OF those who dissipate them
selves by drinking is, however, far
greater than those who do it by eating,
and this entirely due to the intoxicating
qualities OF beer aud other strong
drinks, against the danger Of which
the government makes little provision
compared with what 1t does against the
injurious qualities Of impure and un
healthy articles OF food.
Drunkenness will be reduced to 8
minimum just a. soon Us the American
people learn to be 4mpartial enough u
exercise as much precaution against
danger In one direction - In another.

Havana, April 17.-Advices received
here from Mantanzas say there was
much alarm in the city yesterday. ow-
Ing to new tax on provisions. The
stores We're all closed and the bakers
were not working. There was no bread
in Town. In addition there was Il scare
ity Of other food of all descriptions.
This aroused the people. and groups of
the Inhabitants paraded the streel.i
shouting against the tax. The police
eventually interfered, charged the riot
crs and made several arrests among
The merchants OF the town.
In Havana the value of Spanish mon
ny is going down and the prices of pro-
visions are going up. There is more
and more anxiety felt to know the re-
suit Of the crisis. Business is slow ana
the state OF uncertainty causes deprcs-
sion among all classes. Everybody
here seems eager for n quick solution
OF the question one way or the other.
