stolen a week 6 yesterday from his
residence.
ut is a translation" said he, "of the
letter l wrote to my cousin, but it is
not as I wrote it. Words have been
changed and even whole sentences, yes,
even paragraphs inserted to make it
suit the end of the United States gov
eminent"
What paragraphs" he was asked.
For instance, that ridiculous para
graph about the spy system. That is
nosense. I am not the head of the spy
system and / do not know and never
knew more about the two men cap
tured than you did yourself from read
ing the newspapers.
"Then, again, I nave had no COM
m~unication with General Blanco or
Don Pasquale. There has been no ne
cesSity for my communicating with
them. 1t was simply a friendly letter
to my cousin expressing my Senti-
ments and even these have been dis
torted in the translation"

Raleigh, y. c., June 5.-Adjutant Cen
eral Cowles said this afternoon that Bun
combe county is the banner county for
volunteering. No fewer than seven com
panies there have volunteered. Mecklen-
burg comes next.
At the dress parade OF the Second reg
iment this afternoon all the enlisted men
appeared in uniform and nearly all the
officers also. The trousers of the new
uniforms are as dark as the coats. Both
are of flannel. light weight and well
made. the material being excellent. While
the dress parade was in progress a long
section of the train carrying the Fourth
Virginia regiment to Tampa passed in
plain view. After the dress parade the
companies marched off DE grounds in
front. passing in review before
Colonel Burgwyn. The marching Of the
Wilmington. Tarboro, Greensboro and
Gastonia companies was particularly live.
These excel in the order named.
h officer of the day tomorrow will
be Captain cooper, and the officer of the
guard Lieutenant Jenkins.
Colonel Burgwyn is anxfously awaiting
orders from the war department to re-
cruit his regimentf and he says as soon
as 1t is received he wiz send an officer
and men from each company home after
recruits.
The people of each county should see
that recruits are promptly furnished.
Rapid recruiting TO the strength of three
officers and los enlisted men in ZACH com
pany will be good evidence of enthusiasm
and interest in the regiments.

Our ava Needs.

The biggest navy that ever existed
cannot all be sent on one mission, in
any probable state of the political
world. A much smaller force, favorab-
ly placed, produces an effect far be-
yond it's proportionate numbers; for,
to quote again Napoleon's phrase,
War is a business of positions" This
idea is by no means new, even to I'M
professional men; on the contrary, it
is so old that it is deplorable to see
such fatuOuS arguments as the neceS-
sity of equalling Great Britain's navy
adduced against any scheme of exter-
nal policy. The annexation OF Ha-
wall, to recur to that, may be poll
cy for many reasons, of which l am
no good judge; but, as a naval student,
I hesitate not to say that, while an
neXation may entail a bigger navy
than is demanded for the mere exclu-
sion of other states from the stands
though I personally do not think So
it is absurd to say that we should need
a navy equal to hat of Great Britain.
In 1894 Gouverneur Morris wrote that
if the United States had twenty ships
of the line in commission, no other
state would provoke her enmity. At
that time Great Britain'S navy was
relatively more powerful than it is now
while she and France were rivalling
each other in testing the capacity of
our country to stand kicking; but Nor
ris's estimate was perfectly correct,
and shows how readily a sagacious
layman can understand a military
question, if only he will put his mind
to it, and not merely echo the press,
Great Britain then could not-and
much more. France could t-affo
to have twenty ships of the line operat
ing against her interests on the other
side of the Atlantic. They could not
afford it in actual war; they could not
afford it even in peace, because not
only might war arise at any time, but
it would be much more likely to hap
pen if either party provoked the Unit
ed States to hostility. The more me-
nance of UGH a force, its mere ex-
~istence, would have insured decent
treatment without war; and Morris,
who was an able financier, conjectured
that to support a navy of such size for
twenty years would cost the public
treasury less than five years of war
would-not to mention the private
losses of individuals in war.-Captain
A. T. Mahan, U. S. N. in Harper's
Magazine.

stops Any ship Going at Any speed

Exhaustive trials have been carried
on at Fiume on a wonderful invention
of an Austrian engineer, Deneter Czve,-
kovich, by means of which a steamship
travelling at high speed can be almost
instantly brought to a Standstill with
ont stopping the engines.
A committee of naval experts. ap-
pointed by the Austrian ministry of
marine the Imperial Naval college. the
Austrian Lloyd Steamship company and
other representative naval bodies, re-
ports favorably on the new marine
trake Tests We're made with the steam
ship Clothilde, of :, 600 tons. This yes
sci, when running II knots an hour,
was brought to "a standstill within 30
seconds and before she had trav ersed 40
feet, in spite of the fact that the engints
were still wo- king ahead with unGimiu-
ished power. Similar results were OBJ
tanned at every test.
Experts state that the marine brake
can be applied to any shiS of any size,
running at any speed. 1t is worked by
simply turning handle, and its cost is
not excessive, owing to the fact that
patents have not yet been taken out in
