Dagger to Stab Dons in the Back.
MADRID, Feb. 24.-The United States
minister, Gen. Ste 1art L. Woodford, gave
banquet to-day in honor Of the new Spanish
minister at Washington, Senior Polo Ber-
habe. The guests included the Austrian,
Russian, French, German, Italian, Turkish,
Dutch and British ministers and the Duke
of Veragua, the lineal descendant of Co
lumbus, who was the guest of the United
States at the time of the Chicago fair; the
premier, Senior Sagasta two members of
the Cabinet and the staff of the United
States legation. Much political Importance

banquet, coupled with the peaceful utter

TO semi-officiai report. have been "op-
timistically utilized by the ministerial
press" But the Impartial to-day takes
the Spanish government to task for its
"apathy, contrasted with the patriotic
feeling of the country and warns the ma
ton against the hypocritical Yankee pol
ley which really aims at the independence
OF Cuba" Continuing, Impartial says
president Mckinley may make and reiter-
ate protestations of friendship and pacific
intentions, but his actions contradict his
words While the President of the United
States is cajoling us with words, he sharp

talking concord he utilizes his Sundays in
usual war preparations at the docks and
cancels the furloughs of the marines Can
we trust those who are preventing the paci-
1cation of Cuba and fomenting rebellion
and filibustering expeditions, sending war
ships under the pretext of friendship and
preaching peace? We must prepare for
war. There is no time to secure war ships
but we should fit out Immediately what we
have, sending the Pelayo Colon Carlos V
and Marie Teresa to follow the Almirante
Oquendo and Vizcaya to Cuban waters and
the rest of the fleet TO guard the peninsula.
other policy than preparedness is only to
play the Americans game, which is to ex-
haust our resources and gain the inde-
pendence of Cuba without risking ANYTHING.
How long does the government mean to ia

agonizing nation tolerate the apathy of the
government?"

Opportunity for Court of Inquiry to

The American Wrecking and Salvage
Company, owners of the diving bell in
vented by Worden G. Smith, with which
the old wreck Pewabic was located last
summer in 100 feet of water in Thunder
bay, Lake Huron, has offered the govern
ment at Washington the services of it's
bell. With the aid of the apparatus the
whole commission could be taken to the
bottom of the harbor, and the wreck could
be looked over thoroughly under the pow
erful rays of electric lights. AS to the sue
cess of the apparatus there is no doubt,
as the operations on the wreck Pewabic
showed last summer, when part of the
cargo was recovered after the lapse of
thirty years, during which time numerous
divers who made the attempt failed on
account of the great depth in which the
wreck lies. 1t is said that with the aid of
this bell wreckers can operate at greater
depths than has ever been known before,
and this fact is brought out by the expert
ence on the Pewabic. The services of the
bell have been offered to the government
through letters written to Congressman
Often and Senator Spooner, now in Wash
ington. A reply is expected in a few days
and in the meantime the apparatus has
been got in readiness to be forwarded
to Havana If the government wishes to use
it. The bell can be easily transported to
Cuba. 1t can be shipped to Key West on

be dictated in the line of further strength

committee were agreed that the artillery
force is insufficient, and that to continue
the coast defenses on the existing plans
would be notably inefficient without ma

connects Cabanas with Moro a land pas

suBTERRANEAN PASSAGE.
Spaniards Say 1t Does Not Go Under
the HarbOr of HaNana.

HAVANA, Feb. "a, via Key West.-In
connection with the claim made by the Gu
bans that there are mine galleries under
the harbor of Havana, leading from a
subterranean passage and known to have
existed for years between Fort Cabanas,
MORO Castle and this port the Snaniards
explain that for over a century a subter-
ranean passage, about two miles long and
eight feet at its narrowest diameter, capa>
bic of giving passage TO Il column of troops
has existed from the navy yard to Castillo
del Principe. But, the Spanards further
assert the existence of this passage was
not known to the present authorities Or to
those who have been in power for many
years past. The entrances and exits, 1t
is added. have been closed for years
by thick walls now covered with
debris, and their exact location is said to
be lost. AT the same time, it Is admitted
that records regarding the subterranean
passage can be found in old documents
contained in the archives Of Havana
Finally the Spaniards insist that the pas
sage does not go under the harbor at any
point.

he Roughly Ordered General sher-
man to Brush His Mules.


man to Brush His Mules.
A good story is told OF one OF
General Sherman's Missouri team
sters. He had just Joined the SER
vice, a raw re-, ruit, and was assigned
the task OF driving six mule team.
When the army halted for the first
night, he was YEARLY embarrassing
his team.
"Hello there" said the wag Of the
company in passing. "What do you
mean by taking care of those mules
Yourself? Why don't You haze the
hostler do it2"
Why l thought every man had
to take care of his own team" said
the bewildered teamster.
"You bet he doesn't. We've got
hostler for that. There's his tent
right over there. He's lazy, con.
trary old cuss, and he may not want
to do it, but you swear at him and
he'll move off at double quick"
The Missouriau strobe over to the
tent indicated, which happened to
be General Sherman's headquarters.
"Here, you son OF gum" he roar
ed fiercely, "get out of here and
brush those mules"
Needless to say, the team ster spent
the evening in the guardhouse.
A pious old Indiana farmer was
assigned to the duty Of teaming,
probably by mistake. The roads
we're muddy, and the rest OF the
teamsters were literally bombarding
their charges with oaths. 1t was
against the old mans principles to
swear, and he held his peace, albeit
in impotent rage. At last one OF
the hind mules baked and refused
to advance a step. The old man
used every endeavor to urge the
beast along, but to no purpose. AT
last he roared in loud and solemn
voice: "Oh, Lord, you know where
this mule ought to be as we'll as

st requires no elaborate argu-
ment to demonstrate that the death
knell of the British leadership in the
world would be nearly as disastrous
to America as to Britain. To realize
the position the United States would
occupy, it is only necessary to study
the commercial and industrial policy
OF Russia wherever any possibility
OF rivalry is in question. The power
OF the United States to extend her
trade in Asia and, in large meas
ure, to expand as a nation, depends
much upon the Anglo.Ssxon su.
premacy. Once in possession OF
Turkey and Persia, India and China,
and with the resources of Asia or.
ganized under her direction, Russia
would be not only supreme on land,
