NEWS NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The Spanish torpedo boat Terror has arrived at San Juan, Porto Rico
 The Americans have captured the Spanish gunboat Leyte of the Philippine islands.
 General Merritt Monday issued orders formally announcing that he has taken command of the Philip pine forces and expeditions.
 1t is feared that the steamer Schleswig, which left Philadelphia May 10. loaded with coal for the United States ships. has been cap tured.
 An unknown steamer, supposed 10 be a Spanish auxiliary cruiser, sighted by the Wilmington and Ban croft about fifteen miles of Key West early on Thursday, was not captured. The Bancroft gave up the chase.
 4 mean joke was perpetraied on the Queen Regent of Spain recently by a St. Louis junk dealer, who offered her the highest market price for old iron for her fleet after IL meets Sampson.
 There was a revival at St. Thomas Monday of the question of the Pur- chase of the Danish West IDdies by the United States. The matter is causing considerable excitement and favorable comment.
 Admiral Dewey has informed the authorities at Manila that he will hold them responsible for the life of the captain of the Spanish gunboat Callao, captured by the United States fleet.
 A Spanish officer says S25,0O0 will be paid for the head of Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader. This does not look much as if he were think ing seriously of joining Spain against the United States.
 It is significant at the present time, when there is so much talk about the unfriendliness of France towards the United States, that commercial agreement has been en- tered into between the two coun- tries. It goes into effect today, June l.
 The Madrid correspondent of the London Times says: Tt is reported that Senor Sagasta during Sundays Cabinet council resolved that Spain does nos expect the support, diplo- ma,ic or otherwise, of any foreign power, and that there is no question whatever of undertaking negotia- tions for this purpose through Senor Leon Castillo, Spanish am bassador at Paris.
 The blooming" of Fitzhugh Lee iu certain quarters. aptly says the St. Louis Republic. for the Presi- dency in 1900 IS decidedly prema- ture under present circumstances, Such talk is calculated to embarrass war movements and add new com plications. Wait until the war is over, and if General Lee should fur ther distinguish himself, then all the better. But there should be as lit- tie politics in this war as possible. and partisanship should give place to patriotism in common defense.

 Fourteen American vessels took part in the engagement. One Span ish cruiser was very badly damaged. A Spanish commodore and five sail ors were killed, also twenty-six in- ' fsntry men. The forts were almost entirely demolished. More troops are landing today and heavy firing was resumed again this morning.
 The engagement was opened by the battle ship Iowa, whose aim was directed at the fleets in the harbor. The Maria Teresa and Reina Mer- cedes are reported disabled, but this report cannot be confirmed. The insurgents helped the Americans to land their forces under the protec- tion of the American vessels.

A PATRIOTIC ADDRESS.

In a Memorial Day address at the
 Soldiers cemetery at Arlington,
 Senator Thurston made some very
 patriotic rem srks which will find a
 responsive echo in the heart of every loyal American. Among other
 things the Senator said:
 "War is a terrible thing, to be summed and avoided whenever and
 as far as possible. But I have no sympathy with those who believe
 that war should be avoided at the sacrifice of national honor, at the expense of humanity or the loss of liberty. I cannot love those who turn deaf ears to the unceasing cries of the victims of tyranny, inhuman- ity and bsrbarity, because liberty and relief can ouly come through the shedding of blood. If l read Gods history aright, civilization aud Christianity have not come from the survival of the 6tteet, but by the sacrifice of the best. What puny human intelligence dares to assert that the blood of Lexington was not sacred, even as the blood of Calvary. Warren at Bunker Hill, Baker at Balls Bluff, Bagley at Cardenas, all gloriously died to hasten tbe con- ing of Gods kingdom on earth. Yea, and Dewey, in the harbor of Manila, was the blessed messenger of Gods just wrath.
 II do not know when this war with Spain will cease. I do not know what sacrifices We will be called upon to make, I do not know how many head stones may yet be added to this city of the dead. I do not know how many mothers hearts may mourn. I do not know how many altars may be iesolated. But I do know that whatever the cost, the delivering of the new world from the barabarity and in humanity of Spain's merciIess will be worth it all. do know that tl e cementing to- gether of the hearts of all the peo- in enduring friendship and abiding love; I do know that the con of Ameucan energies, the uplifting of American sentiment Tn 10 unselfsh and holy a cause; I do lnow that this touching of elbows under the one flag by the nen and the sons of the men who 'aced each other on the battlefelds lnder two flags; I do know that

AN EDITORS PATRIOTIC UTTER
 ANCES.

Colonel Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, deliver ed a very patriotic address recently on the occasion of the departure of Kentucky troops for the war. In the course of his speech he said:
 Il believe in this war; l believe in it with all my mind and with all my soul. If ever there was a justiiable war. it is this. Though 1t should rob me of lives that are dearer to me than my own life, I shall believe it conceived in 4 holy spirit, sane tioned by heaven, and directed to- ward the advancement and the en- largement of benign civilization.
 "In these warlike spectacles every where manifest, it has already united us as nothing else could have united us-emaucipating both sections ol the Union from the mistaken i'm pression that We ever were or could be anything else than one people.
 "IR the nature of the case. but few of you can hope to attain great commands or to acquire exceptional distinction. In the end, most of you must lay aside your uniforms and resume the habiliments of civil life: But there is not one Of you who cannot do his duty, and doing his duty cannot but be proud and happy. A neighoor of mine came to me the other day to ask me to exert my supposed influence in get ting his son a commission. l assured him that had no influence.
 "'But,' I said, I have two sons carrying muskets in the ranks sons whom I dearly love, but for whose advancement 1 shall not put forth the slightest effort. It Is enough for me to know that they are serv- ing their country, and If it pleases God to bring them back to their mother and me safe and sound, l shall bless His name as long as l liye.'
 "In that prayer, let me include each and every one of you; though l would rather see my boys, and each and every one of you lying by the side of that brave and lively sailor lad whom North Carolina has just given up as heavens first sacrifice upon the altars of the nation and maIkind, than that one feather should be plucked from the eagles wing, or a syllable of repioach be justly cast upon the name and fame of our dear Kentucky"

ALMOST A MURDER.
Dr. J. B. MeNally Shot Today in His Office in a Dispute Over a Bill.

Occupants of office row and other' in that vicinity were startled this afternoon at about l2:45 o'clock by the report of pistol shot. Imme diately following the shot a man va: seen to leave Dr. J. B. MeNally'S office by the front door and go rap idly north on Cortez street towards the depot, and across the railroad bridge towards West Prescott.
 Soon after the doctor emerged from the front door of R. H. Heth- erington's office having passed out through his back door and coming through the vacant lots entered from the rear. He was slightly pale and had the appearance of being some what agitatsd, while a stream of blood trickled from his left arm down on the side walk. The shoot ing was heard by great many peo- pie Id soon a large crowd bad con gregated around the bleeding phys ician, among the number beng Dr. J. $. Walls, who proceeded to dress his wounds. To MT. Gilmore of the electric light company Dr. McNally stated that 8 prospec.or named Frank Stewart, upon W n he had performed an operation, visited him at his office and a dispute arose over a bill due the doctor for his ,rvices. Is ended by Stewart pulling a gun and firing point blank at the doc tors body. The bullet struck a watch in Dr. McNally's pocket glaneing of and then passed through the heshy part of left arm between the elbow and wrist. To the fact that 1t struck his watch is probably due the fact that he is not now either dead or dying.
 Stewart immediately left through the front door going as stated over into West Prescott.
 Stewart is said to be prospector. Sheriff Rufaer and one or two deputies with the chief of police immediately went in pursuit of the fugitive but at 8 late hour in the afternoon had not succeeded in capturing him.
 Dr. McNally's watch was com pletely shattered by the bullet con- ing in contact mith 1t.
 pr. Walls also reports a bullet wound in Dr. McNally's left thigh but just how the bullet could have penetrated the thigh Is somewhat of mystery. The wounds are quite painful but are not considered dangerous.

The ladies Of the Woman,s Relief

The ladies of the Woman's Relief Corps of Prescott. in compliance with a pledge given to the President of the United States by the Presi- dent of the Woman's Relief Corps to care for those who suffer from wounds and disease in our present war with Spain, and for the depend ent ones at home of those fighting under the flag. desire to make known to the loyal and patriotic citizens of Prescott and vicinity that the Corps will give a series of entertainments, commencing tonight, (Tuesday, June 7th), for the purpose of raising funds for the above named emergencies.

MAY REND CIVIL SERVICE

It is announced that just as soon as President Mckinley can get the time he will issue an order ID accordance with an elaborate cpin- ion prepared by Attorney General Griggs, declaring that the govern meut printing office never was legally under the civil service rules, because it belongs under the legisla- tive, and not the executive branch of the government. The civil ser vice law is one of the greatest frauds ever perpe rated on the government. It is two edged sword which cuts both ways. Its object primarily was for the retention of competent and expeuenced men in office re gardless of their politics, and re gardless of changes of administra> tiou. This legislatiag a man in public office for life is of itself anti republic and monarchical in princi- pie. Prior to the enactment of the law, there was an unwritten law in force whereby employees possessing special ability for filling certain positions were retained and 1t vas not an uncommon thing for men to hold their positions in the depart ments through changes of admins trations. Ability to discharge the duties of the office in a satisfactory manner, and the will to do so were the requisites. Now the man be he competent or otherwise can fold the civil service law cloak around him and defy his superiors. Able and prompt service are no longer re- quisites for holding positions, as this law protects subbordinstes in their positions.
