HAWKS F a.sI TO THE DEATH.

Two of these Bir:s EnEnGe:n n Bit
ter Struggle in a Field.
A fierce combat between a large gray
hawk and a smaller red one occurred a
few days ago on the farm of George
Williams, in Bristol township reports
the Philadelphia Record. Mr.. Williams
was standing in his corn field, when he
heard series of fierce squawl.s in the
air above him. Two hawks circling
about each other and dropping rapidly
to the earth next attracted his atten-
ton. The birds fell almost at his feet
and continued to fight with great fe-
rocity. 1t was evident from the very
the gray one being much too heavy for
his opponent. The farmer, selling a
stick, sailed in to take hand in the
fight. He made several vigorous swipes
at the rapidly revolving bundle of claws
ard feathers, but somehow OF other he
always failed to land. Then he foxily
decided to stand off and wait until one
bird had been killed, whereupon he
would jump in and dispatch the victor.
The red hawk was growing weaker
every moment, and finally fell over on
his back, and the gray victor drove his
beak deep into the breast of the van
quished. With squawk of triumph the
gray fellow suddenly raised himself
upon his broad wings and sailed away
before Williams realized what he was
about. The red hawk lay dead upon the
field literally clawed to ribbons.

MINING.


BosToN, Mass, April Is, 1898.
The stock market last week thoroughly
reflected the waiting sentiment so notice
able during the past two months. Trad
ing was at a minimum and spectators
found it extremely difficult to operate at
profit on either side OF the market. The
early liquidation OF speculative accounts,
when matters first began to look serious
over the Cuban question, has been COM
pleted and, as real holders have not yet
been scared into selling, there is little
prospect for further material decline in
prices until something occurs to create a
panic among investors. A stringent
money market would result in the liquid
alton OF considerable quantity of stocks
by large holders who could use their
funds to better advantage in the loan
market and take easy chances OF getting
their securities back again after the furry
was over. The possibility OF war with
Spain has been discounted and it remains
now for the realization OF that event to
put new life into stock market dealings.
Even congressional action has had no in
fuence upon prices, so it is doubtful il
actual hostilities would have any more
influence upon the market, unless the re-
suit of the first engagement proved dis
astrous to the United States. The money
markets as yet show no sign OF strin-
gency, the arrival OF more than SO ,0OO.-
900 gold from abroad swelling the avail
able supply here sufficiently to keep loan
ing rates comparatively eaay. There Is

the Yirss OF spanish Adiiitsry writers
FsrstsIis Defeat For spsin-Bslisvss
All European Nations Together Could
Not secure Foot Of the Unitsd stssss.
Senior Gsnaro Alas, who IL considered
In Spain to be the first Spanish military
writer, published the following article
In La Epoca Of Madrid on March IL
about the results Of war between his
country and the United States:
"Will it be duel in French style,
or until the first blood is shed, or fight
to the death? In my opinion neither
one nor the other. II we are defeated
quickly, we shall lose Cuba and prob
ably also Puerto Rico. and it is very
likely that we shall have stronger re-
volt in the Philippines and serious trou-
bles at home.
"But suppose that at the beginning
of the war we sink the whole Yankee
feet and even lombard with success
two or three Yankee ports Will it all
end there? Oh, mol The Americans will
not stand it, and the nation that from
1851 to 1865 put in arms more than
100000 soldiers, raised powerful
fleets. spent $4,000, 900, 900 and lost
nearly the same amount, will make such
efforts then that. in spite of all my re.
speot for Spanish patriotism, l cannot
believe that Spain will be able to stand
against it.
IF there are those who believe in in
tervention by European powers in favor
of Spain, do not.
"A fight to the death 1t will not be
either, because the Americans cannot
conquer US with so many miles of ocean
between the two countries. We may
lose our colonies. but Spain will re-
main. Probably that loss, though i'm
mediately disastrous, would be bene-
fit to our sons.
"Now, can any man of sense believe
that we can do to the United States
what the Americans cannot do to us?
Is it not nonsensical dream to think
Of a conquest of American territory? I
am not doubling the courage of the
Spaniards, but believe that all nations
of Europe together are not strong enough
to sever foot of land from the United
States.
''In brief, the United States will not
come to conquer us here, neither shall
we go to conquer them there. The
whole war will be reduced to this: The
Yankees will provide the insurgents
with arms and ammunition, blockade
the ports Of Cuba and starve to death
our army there, that subsists now ex-
clusively on imported food.
"What will be the role of our navy?
To break the blockade in order to pro-
vision our army and in order to get coal
for itself, because / suppose that our
ships will not come back to coal in
Spain.
"That will be all. At the start the
Yankees may destroy our whole navy
or we may destroy theirs, but in the
long run they will get the advantage.
All other things will be mere episodes
of the war The privateers on either
side will amount to nothing in deciding
where victory shall rest.
