convenience on both occasions. How

much pomp and ceremony and pro-

when the order comes to board the
transports. Before Lee arrived in
Jacksonville some one named the en-
Camp Springfield. But.
Lee did not ike the name. It was
commonplace, it meant nothing. So
he reehristened it Camp Cuba Libre,
and thus gave to Jacksonville the.
honor of having the camp with the
most unique name. And oh, how
Jacksonville bows and scrapes to Lee!
There are Lee billiard parlors and
Lee restaurants and Lee shoe stores
on every corner. There is a Lee

WAR WOULD BE MADNESS.

Good Sense Commends Peace on Part of
Both Countries.
Madrid, March 13.-The view held in
official circles is that Spain will not pro-
woke war, because If she did, she would
find herself isolated, but If America gives
the provocation, Spain will not be alone
in the struggle. The general opinion is
that in the event of war Spain will not
need to attack American territory. 1t
will suffice her to pursue a war of
privateering. AS America S commerce is
seven fold greater than Spain's, American
interests would suffer most. War would
be madness, benefting neither nation and
good sense therefore coungels peace.

and Kennebec rivers, is estllnateo a'
about s16, 900 TONS OF this amount ooo, :
600 tons belongs to the Kennebec regions
and 156, 600 tons to the Penobscot Inc
harvest on the Penobscot has just closed,
and while not a great quantity was
housed the ice is of the very finest quality.
Work began the last week in January and
continued up to the last of his week. 1t
has been an expensive harvest for the
operators, owing to the frequent and
heavy snow storms which made much
scraping of the fields necessary. A few of
the Penobscot dealers did not harvest as
much as they intended. as long wait
was required to get their ice fields proper
ly frozen The following is an estimate
of the ice htased ON the Penobscot: E.

MINISTER WHITE COMPOsES GER.
MANY.

London, March ia Sunday journal
prints from, it's Berlin correspondence an
interview with United States Ambassador
White on the attitude of the United States
toward Spain and the Cuban situation.
Ambassador White declared the statement
that the United States and entered into
an alliance with England and Japan was
absolutely without foundation aess4
1.-THE United States" Mr.. White is re-
ported to have said, twill never make
srIoh an alliance. President Mckinley
cannot act against the tradition which
forbids all such complications = in
Americas International relations. Lest
Of all. will he do so for the sake of Ameri-
can interest in the far east. Fear of war
must not be taken too seriously. The
$50, 600, 900 lis no proof that the United
States intends going to war, since the
government had long demanded such q
credit for harbor defense. This, however,
had been postponed. owing to the mig
gardly policy Congress had hitherto pur-
sued.
Characterizing as ''quite untrue" the
statement that the United States had
placed orders with Herr Krupp, Mr..
White is reported as adding: America
possesses ammunition OF all kinds and
war material In the government factories
sufficient for every emergency"
