SUNDAY, JUNE 5TH,

The sinking Of the Merrimac was
done by order of Admiral Sampson
to close the narrow entrance of
Santiago harbor and prevent the
escape Of the enemy's squadron.
Volunteers for the daring act were
called for, and hundreds of men
responded. Lieutenant Richmond z.
Hobson, Naval Constructor, IA ma
tive Of Greensboro, Alabama, was
chosen TO command the Merrimac.
Daniel Montague, George Charette,
J. f. Murphy. Oscar Deigman, John
p. Phillips and John Kelly were
the crew chosen. Coxswain Clausen,
of the New York, went also with
out orders. At dawn Friday they
steamed into the harbor and all the
batteries that saw them fairly rain
cd missiles at them. At the proper
place the vessel was torpedoed and
sank. Their small boat was lost and
they took TO a raft provided for such
an emergency. Floating ashore the
whole party were taken prisoners.
Two were slightly wounded. Ger
vera was so struck with the brave
daring Of the deed that he sent an
officer under flag of truce to
sampson saying he would treat the
prisoners kindly and exchange them
at the first opportunity. The enemy
is trying TO dynamite the wreck of
the Merrimac So as to open the
channel.
The gunboat Marietta, that trav-
eled part of the time from San
Francisco with the Oregon, has ar
rived at Key West; also the Buff
falo, or Nictheroy, from Brazil.
Lieut.. Carranza's spy system
with Canadian headquarters was
exposed by a letter of Carranza in
tercepted by the u. S. Secret Serv-
ice men. Canada will probably ex.
pei the whole lot of Spanish ennis
saries.
Scarcity OF water Is a drawback
some of the troops at some of the
Chickamauga camps have to con.
tend with. A thirsty Kentuckiar
indignant at the hogging propen
stiles displayed at the single vel
by some troops from another State
was humorously told that "Yor
Kentuckians are not used to water
and don't need it,"
The soldier boys are being hard
worked at Chickamauga. They will
be pretty well hardened by the tim,

The plan now seems to be to lane
an army to take Porto Rico as SCOT
as possible.

THERE Is talk of sending Coll

questioning motives, political or

that there is an old classic story of
q ruler named David and soldier
named Uriah that conveys an in
structive lesson in amatory rivalry,
and it might be twisted around to
apply to political rivalry nearly as
well. At least. political supporters

AsPERsIoNs upon the martial
spirit of Kentuckians are already
being cast because Kentucky reg
iment is the last of the first-call
volunteers to be mustered in. That
regiment held itself ready and
could have taken the field on very
short notice, if We are to believe
its officers. Perhaps Government
red tape and lack of equipment ia
cilitles are the true causes of the
Louisville Legion's delay in being
mustered in.

Again, let any one who thinks it an easy matter take cane, golf stick or plain stick, hold it in both hands, just as the man in the picture is holding the golf stick, then brace the shoulders back and try to skate.
 And yet the art of locomotion over the ice according to the new fad may be acquired, and perhaps one can learn to move about gracefully. The atti- tude shown in the picture is the most

Seattle involved nothing unusual, but there his adventures began. He was q passenger on the ill-fated steamer Eliza Anderson. That in itself was the cause of enough excitement to satisfy an ordinary man. It is probable that the Anderson expedition breaks all ocean records. Never was a vessel so absurdly unftted for the voyage. Co., lumbus in his little high-heeled shoe of a vessel had 100 chances in his favor for every one that Bowers and his mates had in the Anderson. She was littles old river steamer. and the fact that she carried her crew and pas- sengers to Dutch Harbor in the Aleu- tian island is miracle of the sea. Her voyage was a nine days wonder, and need not here be retold.
 From Dutch Harbor Dr. Bowers and his fellow passengers proceeded to St. Michael, on the Alaska coast, in lit tie schooner; the Anderson being un- able to go further. There were so many

work it. Though he had lost most of his outfit, he had stuck to his medical supplies with deathlike tenacity. His "kit" of medicines had been carefully prepared, and it contained remedies in the most condensed form. He had, among other things, great quantity of quinine, and it was much in demand.
 So Dr. Bowers stuck up his shingle in the frozen north, 1,Soo miles from the Kondike, and behold, the gold of that fabulous region flowed in upon him like a river. He sold quinine pills at dol lar a grain, whisky by the teaspoonful, and other drugs in proportion. In his last letter to his brother, Dr. ". H. Bowers, of Hot Springs, he said that he had made a part of the way to the Klondke himself, and the Klondike had come the rest of the distance to him. Gold was everywhere. He did not mind being unable to locate a Klondike claim this season; he had struck good enough thing 1,800 miles away.
