Newport News, Va. June lit is
possible that the Government is plan
ming to send a strong squadron of swift
cruisers over to Spain. Seven of the
fastest ships in the American Navy are
now at Hampton Roads, or nearby
They are the Minneapolis. Cincinnati,
Newark, Buffalo. Yale. Harvard and
some important mission is apparent.
though the officers refuse to tell what
their orders are. Every ship is being
coaled to its utmost capacity. which
leads to the belief that long trip is
planned. possibly as far as the coast Of
Spain. In speed and steaming radius
these ships are well fitted for just such
a trip.
The Navy Department has been urg-
ed to take the offensive. and a fleet may
be sent to the Spanish coast. II could
start from Hampton Roads just as
soon as the batteries on few vessels
are placed in position. Work at the
Norfolk navy yard has been pushed to
the utmost for the past few weeks on
the vessels there. There repairs will
week. and practically new squadron
will be ready to sail.
The Newark will probably be the
flagship. since 1t is the most formidable
of the proposed fleet. 1t has been made
over in the past six month, and is now
one OF the best cruisers in the Navy.
1t is commanded by Capt. Barker.
whose last sea duty was on the Oregon.
The Yale land Harvard, the two keet
auxiliary cruisers Sc AIRED since the be-
ginning Ofsthe war, are now at Hamp-
ton Roads, and could be part-H this
new squadron. Both ships are having
their batteries placed in position. These
batteries are to be two 8-inch and six
5-inch guns, supplemented by a num-
Der Of rapid-fire guns The St Paul
could be armed in a similar manner
and made ready to join the fleet at the
proper time.
The Columbia might also take her
place as a member of the new flying
squadron. She will be ready before the
Buffalo. the latest addition to the
Navy. Work on the latter ship is be-
ing rushed. and any delay in sailing
will be caused by her. 1t has not been
definitely decided yet. but the fleet st.
Louis might make the seventh ship.
Since Ceryera has been bottled up in
Santiago there is but little need of
scouts in Southern waters
With such a fleet the Navy Depart
ment thinks that the Spaniards could
be taught a severe lesson. The feet
will be fast enough to do scout duty.

no matter about him-he voted for the
Woods water bill-any old thing will

Some who nave felt unfriendly to
Senator Quay in the past may wonder
why it Is that the Republicans of the
State adhere to him so closely-even in
the face of such volleys of hot shot as
these ''reformer" have been pouring in
to his lines. The answer is plain one,
viz: that. whether in the Senate or else

interests of the great and varied inter

of these gentleman should have the pre-

treated rightly if they were rejected

IT will be remembered that the
CITIZEN predicted that the soldiers
would not be taken south from Camp
Meade until after the late election.
Next day a Democratic colleague had
some cute comments on our prediction.
Subsequent events have verified our
surmise. Now we wish to say to our
astonishing friend that whatever were
the reasons for keeping the troops in
Pennsylvania until after the election,
defeating the Democrats was not one OF
them, for the brainy Democrats can al
ways be depended upon to beat them
selves.

cHIDEp HER MOTHERS SPIRIT.
Practical Young Woman Didn't want
 fn Re Arnnsed nt Night.

Kansas City has at least one young mar red woman who takes a very prosale view of ghosts and so-called spirit manifestations. She was forced to spend a night alone in St. Louis hotel, her husband being detained elsewhere by business. In the dead or the night she was awakened out of a sound sleep by a tremendous noise in the wardrobe. It was such sudden and unearthly uproar that the woman, sensible and practical though she was, was frightened. The noise ceased, then returned The woman jumped up, lighted the gas, and made a thorough search both of the wardrobe and the room. There was nothing so far as the evidence of the senses went which could account for the racket. The woman put out the light and went back to bed. The noise was not re- peated
 Six months afterward, however, the woman was in San Francisco, and for the first time in her life, and solely out of eu- rlosty, she attended a Spiritualistie meet ing. Almost immediately the medium, q perfect stranger, turned to her and said The spirit of your mother is present, mad am, and she says that six months ago nam ing the precise date) she tried to communi- cate with you by means of the wardrobe in the Blank hotel, St. Louis"
 The woman's practical good sense did not desert her
 Well, you just tell my mother" she said, that the next time she wants to communi- cate with me not to make such anawful rack ct in the dead of night and frghten me half out of my senses. Chicago Chronicle.
