FORT OFFICERS WARNED
OF the Reported Approach of Spanish,
Squadron.

1t was reported that message had been
received by Commander Rogers at Fort
Preble late Friday afternoon notifying
MIN to put an extra strong guard at
Portland Head and keep sharp lookout
day and night, as a Spanish feet had
been reported off the banks of Newfound-
land and that they were evidently head
ing for the New England coast. The fleet
was said to consist of two battleships,
three despatch boats and two or three
smaller boats.
IL is needless to say that an extra
heavy guard is now posted at Portland
lead and has been ever since there was
any signs of an invasion of this part of
ene coast, and that it will take some one
smarter than a Spanish gunboat to get by
the watchful eyes Of the men on guard,
as there are a number of the same kind
OF marksmen there that Dewey has got
ana tney are only too anxious to see what
their pets at the Head can do towards
settling the score of the maine.
CommanderRogers was seen by PRESS
man Saturday night and said he had
received message like the above, and al
though it was not of strictly official
nature, still he was not at liberty to
show the original. He substantiated
the rulnor in part and said that 1t was
PROBABLY only war scare He said that
The report was given outsby the captain
OF vessel who arrived at Newfoundland
last Sunday night. The captain said as
1t was quite dark he could not make out
the nationality of the feet he passed, but
as every tug, steamer or sailing vessel
that is painted black is now taken for a
Spaniard, of course this must have been
Spanish fleet. Commander Rogers said
he did not think there was anything in
the report, although he had been notified
to Keep sharp lookout and double the
guard. If it had been Spanish fleet
we would have heard from it before this,
and furthermore. he did not think the
New England coast was in any possible
danger of an invasion by the Spanish
army or navy.
Ii the Spanish feet was anywhere in
the vicinity of Newfoundland it was evi
IDENTIFY looking for prizes and as none had
been reported captured, very little truth
could be placed in the story

THE PRAYER OF THE HEBREWS.
Offered in the synagogues for the Success
of Our Arms.

The Hebrews are nothing, if not pat.
riotic, and the Hebrew church in Aneri.
can is now offering up prayers in its
synagogues all over the country for our
armies and our navy. This prayer until
further notice will be part of the SER
vice each Sabbath and in the Portland
synagogues it is offered up as we'll as in
other places. The prayer, in part, is as
follows:
80 Lord of compassion, we pray Thee.
pity and have mercy upon our forces on
land and sea, and give them strength
and courage to stand before the power
of our enemies and subdue the pride of
those who rise against u.s. that they, our
hosts, return, not in defeat. o do Thou
avert that, with head bent downward
and faces shamed.
MAY Thy loving kindness uphold and
support Jus with Thy right hand, to de-
liver the Cubans. who are oppressed and
afflicted by their prosecutors, and to pro.
claim freedom for them in order that
they also may enjoy the glow of enlight-
eminent and freedom which Thou hast
apportioned to us, sons of these United
States, with Thy full, open, holy, ex-
tended hand.

TO OLD ORCHARD PIER.

Mr.. A. ]. Byam, who for several years
has run the summer boat between Camr
Ellis and Biddeford Pool, was in Port
land Friday, on hunt for a steamboat
suitable to put on the route between Port
land and the new Old Orchard pier The
owners of the pier have made a bargain
with him to open steamboat line, and
he is in quest of sea-worthy craft that
can easily carry 400 passengers.
He could get the old S. E. Spring,
which for years ran on the Saco river. Tn
ner prime she was just the kind of a boat
that is needed for the Old Orchard route
but it is rather doubtful if she would fill
the bill now. Since she quit the SAGE
river she has been making regular sum.

coast city that Mr.. Byam has his eye on.

THE POLICE MAKE HAUL

There was a sensation on Washington
street, Saturday noon. when four mem.
beers of Portland's police force landed
very suddenly in that vicinity and
swooped down on Eagan's barroon. Evil
IDENTIFY their coming was not expected.
for everything was in full blast. But If
didn't remain SO long. The quartette of
officers included Deputies Hartnett and
Sterling and Patrolmen Thrasher and
Pickett. They went through the place
from top to bottom and enjoyed some
very nice exercise at wrestling with beer
kegs. Two jiggers were backed ND TO
the door and loaded as full as they could
be. The seizure included IA full barrels
Of beer and over 100 gallons of hard
liquors. The stuff was carried to the
station, while the crowd of loafers who
had gathered there looked with LONGING
eyes on the teams disappearing down
Congress street.

Many old soldiers now feel the effects
of the hard service they endured during
the war. Mr.. Geo. S. Anderson, of Ross
vile, York county, Penn, who saw the
hardest kind of service at the front. is
now frequently troubled with rheuma-
tism. II had severe attack Iately,'' he
says, ''and procured a bottle of Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. 1t did so much
good that I would like to know what you
would charge me for one dozen bottles. :"
Mr.. Anderson wanted it both for his own
use and to supply it to his friends and
neighbors. as every family should have a
bottle of it in their home, not only for
rheumatism, but lame back, sprains,
swellings, cuts, bruises and burns, for
which it is unequalled. For sale by D.
