SMASHED THE EAGLE.
A Madrid Mob Takes a Whack at the En-
blem of Freedom.


Madrid. April 21-Crowds are pa
rading the streets. A mob gathered in
front of the Equitable Life Insurance
building, smashed the American eagle
to bits and carried fragments through
the streets yelling Down with the
Yankees
Enthusiastic professions are now
moving through the principal Streets
The mob gathered in front of the buildA
ing of the Equitable Life Insurance
Company and insisted on the removal
of the American eagle, which was
thrown down and smashed to bits. The
fragments were then carried through
the streets by a cheering, yelling mob
to the military club, where the mem
bers appeared upon the balcony and
enthusiastically demonstrators shout
ing Viva Espana'' and Down with the
Yankees"
The police mixed with the crowd and
allowed the demonstration to go on
without restraint
The civil governor of Madrid Senior
Aguilera, instead Of prohibiting disor-
der allowed complete liberty of action,
mingling among the demonstrators
He was loudly cheered especially when
the American escutcheon was thrcwn
from the balcony of the Equitable
building and fell at his very feet. Ag-
uilera, as if trampling upon the es-
cutcheon, addressed the populace amid
enthusiastic applause. He said The
Spanish lion is reused from his slum-
bers. He will shake his name and dis
perse the rest of the brute creation"
The demonstration then continued, a
part of the mob proposing to demon
strate in front of the American legation
which is now under the British flag
1t is hoped at the time this dispatch
is sent that the crowd will dispense
exhausted, having nothing upon which
to wreak its vengeance.
La Correspondence Espana suggests
the expulsion of all foreigners, espec-
tally the newspaper correspondents,
whose presence is dangerous. It
says the censorship is inadequate as
the correspondents have other means
of keeping up their calumnies against
Spain, especially the American CORE
spondents.
The paper demands that date should
be fixed for their expulsion

STILL NO MOVEMENT.

Kew West, Fla. April 22-2:35 a. m.
The warships lying in the inner har-
Dor are apparently drawing nearer the
flagship. TWO are now moving out.
They are thought to be the monitor
Amphitrite and the gunboat Helena.
The signalling is continuous, and the
searchlights of the Iowa and the New
York are industriously sweeping the
waters of the harbor.

THE WAR HAS BEGUN.
Continued from First Page.

force if cooperation was desired.
At present, he said, there were
$4,000 Cubans in arms and there
would be a general uprising as
soon as the force of The United
States began to be exerted against
Spain.
Senior Albertini says that the
Cuban army of sixty thousand men
can be put in the field at any time,
the only thing they need being,
arms, ammunition and camp sup
plies. These men know every foot
of the ground, are accustomed to
the hardships of fighting in
swamps and mountain passes, I'M
derstand from experience the eff
fective means of sapping Spanish
strength, and are fully acclimated.
A semi-officiai note issued this
afternoon by the Spanish govern
ment at Madrid, says:
''The Spanish government hav-
ing received the ultimatum of the
President of the United States,
considers that the document con-
ssitutes a declaration of war
against Spain and that the proper
form to be adopted is not to make
any further reply, but to await the
expiration of time mentioned in
the ultimatum before opening hos
tiIities. In the meantime the
Spanish authorities have placed
their possessions in a state of
defense and their fleet is aleady
on it's way to meet that of the
United States"
In response to directions from
the President, the War Depart
ment officials have prepared table
showing the number of men that
will be required from each State
on the basis of a call for 100000
men. The final steps for a call,
however, have not been put in
execution.
1t is still not absolutely known
to any one outside the administra-
ton proper, and even in that case
only to a few, how the campaign
shall be directed and any attempt
to outline publicly its details is
bitterly resented by the army and
navy officers charged with the
preparation of the strategic plans
of the two departments. The fleet
at Key West is understood to be
ready to move at moments
notice, but it is the impression
here that no useful purpose can
be served by sending it to Cuba
in advance of the arrival at Key
west OF d SuIiclenC NUMBER OF
United States troops to cooperate
with tn navy in offensive opera
lions and to occupy any ground
that may be won from the Span
ish forces. The flying squadron at
Hampton Roads is also in a state
Of readiness for instant action.
However, present intentions are to
keep an eye on Spain's movements
and be ready to protect quickly
any point on the coast.

SPANS BAD PLIGHT.
Scarcity of Food and Coal Likely to Cut an
Important Figure

LONDON, April PA dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Barcelona via
Paris, says: Grave apprehensions are
entertained in the highest government
circles that the issue of war may be de-
cided not by the valor and enthusiasm
and logged perseverance, qualities of
which the Spaniards possess an abund-
ance, but by reserves of coal and victuals.
of which they have but a scanty provision
in Cuba. 1t appears that in respect of
coal in particular they are worse off than
they have hitherto imagined.

donald shouted after him, but Alastair
called no curse back, as those ON shore
half expected. He did not even turn his
head to look at the shore, but lay still
upon his GROSS. taking with the same
quietness the singing Of the salt spray
in his eyes and the tingling pain In his
bound limbs.
Naked limbs-the sea has need Of"
Alastair whispered presently Docs the

wind would rise; then would get q

stopped his murmuring, and the next
hour laid another cross upon Alastair's
burdened shoulders--the GROSS of per-
petual tossing about from drowning to
life ~ the big seas lifted him now and
now broke over him In olatter Of yell
low foam. When the stress Of the storm
went by, Alastair had tainted, but pres.
emily the splash Of some tossing wraok
upon his naked breast brought him to a
knowledge Of hunger and cold and pain.
"The fish will be plenty next cast,
I'm thinking" Alastair gasped as he
tried to shake the drenohed hair from
his eyes. IF only the sea won't cast
me up at their very doors--or then they
will be thinking I'd be coming back

In his face that would not fade for all
tho pain of torn flesh and nerves, and
presently he found what he was seeking
"a crevice through which he could
thrust his fingers. When his hand was

now big wave lifted him softly and
turned him over on his face, still an
chored to the rock by his right hand.
The weight Of the cross on his back
pressed him down an arms length, no
more, and then the sea that no had
loved very gently took the soul of Alas-
tair MaoAlastair to itself.
At long last fishermen from the IT,

his cross.
Though they were afraid to take the
drowned lad aboard their boat, lest they
should suffer in their herring harvests,
they lowed oross and all ashore with

An Amateur Rip VanWynkIe.

Misfortune follows some youths with
a maliciously persistent hand. For
instance, four young men, Bruce
Bowlus, Rick Hankins, Harry Bedell
and Clark Jacoby drove out i'm the
country to visit the school of charm
ing young teacher. The buggy was
crowded and to stretch aching limbs
the boys frequently got out and walk
ed. On one such occasion, as -
was getting ont (his name is buried
in secrecy a seam gave way. At a
nearby farmhouse, the housewife was
called on for pins. She gave them
pins, and kindly asked no questions.
The pins refused 10 work for awkward
fingers and when the school house
was reached only three boys called.
The fair teacher, wondering at the
sudden and unusual Indifference of
the youth who sat so persistently in
the buggy, asked why he entered not.
And then those three honest lads sat
there and periured themselves and
lied heroically for the one in the
buggy and declaRd thar it did
'seam' strange.

PIE down in this country az sort

is recognizing the fact. Work gangs
have been busy for year rebuilding
all the bridges and culberts and the
road bed is being rapidly rock bal
lasted throughout. There are ON an
average of twenty to thirty trains
daily through lola, all but four Of
them freights. Here at lola the
smelters and other industries have
induced the company to spend con-
siderable money and the business
done here, judged by the cars hand
led, has shown that the investment
was very profitable. An Office day
