CRUISERS.
Their Value as Part of a Navy
Demonstrated by Present War.
Japan Saw the Advantage of Swift
Battleships in War with China,
and Has Been Adding Such
Vessels to Her Navy.

AS a result Of the maneuvers exc

command of Admiral Cervera, future
naval constructors will give the ar

INSPIRED HIS SPEECH.
Wife of Chamberlain Said to BE Re.
spOnsibIe for the Address That
Has Shaken Europe.

According to advices received from
London all England is talking about
the possibility of an Anglo-American
alliance, and everybody thinks he
knows why "Joe" Chamberlain made
his speech for the alliance of Britain
and the United States. No peer of the
hrst magnitude, no great party, no
mighty financial interest constituted
he power behind the throne which re-
suited in a speech which has been
freighted with more political import
than anything spoken for years.
A woman, according to the wise ones,
is the power that has stirred the secre-
tary of state for the colonies to come
out SO broadly. 1t is a little Boston girl,
daughter of long line of Puritan de-
scent, who has succeeded in upheaving
all the powers of Europe-Mary Endi-
colt that was-Mrs. Joseph Chamber
lain that is.
She is the most talked about woman
in England to-day. She has already
come off first best in a social fight with
the prince of Wales and his set. Now
she is in line to turn the same winning
trick against the combined hands of
Spain, Russia, France and Germany.
Boston is leading London by the nose.
And why not, they say. Is not his
charming American wife the only per-
son in the world who could make "Joe"
Chamberlain give up wearing his ia
nous monocle?
Mary Endicott, the American girl,
first showed her firmness and indie
pendence by snubbing Lady Brooke, the
protege of the prince of Wales, and now
the war with Spain! Once more the
blood of her fathers tingled in the veins
of Mary Endicott. Power after power
formally declared it's strict neutrality,
only to do everything at its command
covertly, Of course, in officialdom, but
openly as far as the masses went-to
aid Spain. Only England was left. The
snobs there were for Spain-but the
great mass of sober, sensible Britishers
knew which side was right and which
was wrong.
And now-Mary Endicott's chance.
Her husband would do what she wanted,
and so Chamberlain spoke.
This is the pretty story of a Yankee
girls influence that London is talking
about.

WATCH FOR SPIES.
Spain Has Her EmiSsaries at Work
in the United States.
Secret Service Bureau Using Every
Means to Detect Persons Sup
plying Our Enemy with
Information.

Spain has scores of spies at work in
the United States, and John L. Wilkie,
of the secret service bureau, has nets
spread everywhere to ent3ap the, =.
These spies could do great il. Try to the
cause of the United States during the
war. They could tell the enc. Of our
movements and point out weak spots
where an attack would be effective.
In order 10 detect the spies the most
stringent rules have been made. All
letters addressed to Spaniards in this
country or to people in Spain are sent
to the dead letter office of the post of
flee department. The clerks read them
and all that indicate treason or give
any information that may be valuable
are promptly turned over to the treas
ury department. Chief Wilkie reads
them and details some of his expert de-
tectives to investigate them. The work
is, of course, done with the greatest
secrecy, for only thus can detection be
made certain.
Wilkes sleuths then shadow suspect
ed persons and seek to secure evidence
against them. All Spaniards or Span
ish sympathizers are watched and
means are taken to prevent them COM
municating with the enemy and aiding
them in conducting the war against US.
Death is the punishment of a spy, and
a Spanish spy caught by the United
States would be promptly hanged. Nor
would the fact that the spy was wom-
an influence her captors. The laws of
the United States provide that if citi-
zen obtains information, even in a le-
gitimate manner, and betrays it to the
enemy, be shall be hanged. Nor does
the fact that the person convicted IS not
