WASHINGTON, ID. c., January IL
'special9-rhe situation in regard to the
CUBAN situation tonight is extremely
grave
The order issued from the Navy De-
pariment to-day, directing the assem-
bling Of the South Atlantic squadron of
the Dry Tortugas has been ANTICIPATED
for months. 1t is ostensibly for naval
manoeuvres, but IS really to be in readi-
ness for any emergency that may occur
In Cuba.
The battleship Maine now at Key West.
has been placed under the orders of Con-
sul-General Fitzhugh Lee. The Maine is
kept in readiness. is only four hours dis
tant from Habana, and her commander
is In easy communication with General
Lee.
Tomorrow morning at o'clock. the
South Atlantic squadron will leave Hamp-
ton Roads for the DRY Tortugas. 1t will
stop at such convenient places on the
coast as Currituck Light-House Cape
Fear, Port Royal, and other points. to
receive orders.
The fleet in Hampton Roads will be
followed by the Massachusetts and the
Texas now at New York, both Of which
vessels are being rapidly gotten ready for
sea- The whole naval force of the United
states on the Atlantic Coast will in the
next few days be massed near the Dry
Tortugas, Fla.
IL is apparent from this great naval
demonstration that the administration is
prepared TO interfere upon the first pro-
vocation, and that Consul-General Lee

But that is not probable: and ask

CHAPTER RXXvI.-(Continued.
But. my lady. 1t was the keepers
who buried my husband-I think the
earl forgot him. We lived then in
little cottage-one belonging to the
earl; and. my lady. since my husbands
death, ! have lived there-I do not
know why-rent free. Living there has
been my livelihood. l have had no
rent to pay; and every week I have
earned few shillings by taking in
washing for the people at Court Raven.
So, my lady, the little cottage has. aft
er fashion. kept me and my children.
But now a paper has come to say that
henceforth We must pay rent-four and
sixpence each week-for the place: and,
my lady, II pay 1t. shall not be
able to buy bread for my children to
eat"
But you shall not pay It," said the
young countess.
"Oh, my lady, bless you! II you
would but speak to the earl for me!
He Is young. and he does not think
he does not know. II you would but
speak to him for me"'
Il promise to help you" said Lady
Caraven. Il will speak to the earl, my
husband; he will let you stay without
paying rent"
II know he will-if he understands:
but. my lady. Mr.. Blantyre does as he
likes with the poor and the earl knows
nothing about it. What could four
shillings and sixpence week matter to
the earl? And my husband died to
save his BIRDS
II will do all l can," said the coun-
tess; come and see me again In three
days time from now
And Lady Carayen placed in the thin
hand that which made the widows

War with Spain.

As war with Spain has broken out
the officials seem to think that all
that will be needed is warships. tor
pedo boats and other instruments OF
destruction. But really what will be
needed more than anything else Is q
good supply of "5 DROPS" (manufac-
tured by the Swanson Rheumatic Cure
Co.. 167 Dearborn street. Chicago 1ll.).
to knock out the rheumatism which Is
sure to grip our soldiers and sailors in
the miasmatic climate of Cuba and
the surrounding Islands. where. the
war will be waged. The truth Is that
something to heal and cure is precise
ly what Is needed right now in the
desolated Queen of the Antilles.
Those 200, 900 reconcentrados reported
sick and dying by hundreds need pro-
visions. 1t is true. but they need good
medicines fully as much. II Miss Bar

their agency, save many sick Gu

The vindictive Snakes Bidcd Their Time
and Struck.

The vindictive Snakes Bided Their Time
and struck.
The following incident is told in Mis-
sissippi. and, If no more, relates sin
gular coincidence, says the Galveston
News. A gentleman riding along a
plantation path. followed by n negro on
mule, struck large cotton mouth
with his whip lash as 1t glided across
the road. AS soon as under cover and
out of reach of the whip the snake
raised its head above the bushes, stand
ing almost upright on its tail, and
glared at him with flashing eyes. at the
same time kissing fiercely and exposing
its fangs. "Yo' ort'n ter "a done dat,
Maws Joel" exclaimed the negro. Why
not, Pomp?" Cease dat snec'll lay fuh
yo sho, an sometime er nother'll hit
yo' back" "Pshaw, Pomp! don't take
any stock in such nonsense. More like
ly he'll take care to keep out of reach
of my whip. wish, though, I had
killed the beast.' Dat would "a bin
er sight wusser, Maws Joe; case do
mate would jes' foller tel hit cotch't
yo; an when er cotton mouf's mate
hits, yo' goes dead powerful quick!"
"All nonsense Pomp! There isn't any
mate, or, IL there is, it doesn't know
more than other dumb creatures. A
man may be hit, of course, but not more
often by the mate OF n snake he has
killed than by some other that just
happens in striking distance" "Well,
least ways, Maws Joe." urged Pomp.
"yod better not happen erlong his paf
any more dis year. 'ceptin' on hoss-
back" This good advice fell on heed
less ears The next afternoon Maws
Joe followed the path on foot. probably
without any thought OF what had oc-
Cured the day before, and when pass
ing the spot where he had lashed the
snake the day before he was struck at
the same instant by two large cotton
mouths, one from each side OF the
path. He managed to get home, but
died soon, after. The negroes in that
neighborhood. and many white people.
too. are firm believers in the cotton
mouths mate and its vicious intellf-
gence.

l must absolutely forbid you to say
any more"
She turned from him, her face grow
ing pale, her lips quivering with an
ger. He saw 1t, and felt almost sorry
Il regret to refuse you. Hildred." he
said, rising to quit the room. 1T is the
first favor you have asked OF me, and
should have liked to grant 1t. But /
promised Blantyre faithfully that
would not interfere. We must make
what we can of the estate, and we shall
never do it IL we interfere with Blau-
tyre"
She raised her head with a charm
ing air Of pique and disdain.
Pray, my lord" she said, may
ask II you have left your conscience in
Mr.. Blantyres hands?"
"He would not have much to hold"
laughed the earl. my conscience
would go into small space"
Her face flushed, her eyes shone
brightly.
Let me ask you. my lord" she said.
have you ever remembered that all this
wealth was given to you, not for your
own especial self-indulgence, but in
trust for the poor and the needy?"
II should like you to tell Blantyre
that" sneered the earl. II have never
remembered anything of the kind"
Then let me tell you 1t is true. I
would sooner be the poorest beggar
turned from your door than would be
you, with your title, your estates, your
wealth. your dead conscience, and your
dead heart. Good-morning, my lord. I"
And with an air of dignity the young
countess swept from the room, leaving
him dumb with rage.
