A BIT Of AMUSEMENT.

On board the flagship New York,
April 30. 0.-Copyrighted 1898 by the
Associated Press The New York
was lying outside the picturesque bar-
Dor of Cabanas about two miles off
shore, an inspection trip of the coun-
try having just been completed. The
flagship WAS accompanied by the tor
pedo boats Porter and Ericsson. A
return to the station off Moro castle,
Havana, was contemplated, the band
was playing its usual dinner music
when from hill to the eastward of
Cabanas harbor came the sound of
volley firing 1t was plainly small
arms attack, though no smoke was
seen. The enemy was thought to be
| hidden close to the beach and in front
Of a ruined white building which
sloped as if it once had been the ha-
cienda Of tobacco plantation. Now
and again individual firing was heard
and well regulated valleys continued
at intervals.
1t was conjectured that one troop
OF cavalry, dismounted, was doing
the firing. The officers Of the flag
ship stood upon her decks trying to
ascertain the exact position of the
enemy, more amused than annoyed
at this novel method of attacking an
armored cruiser. However, Rear
Admiral Samson and Captain Chad
wick decided that the lesson taught
at Matapzas must be taught again al

Our Hong Kong Squadron Meets the
Oastillian at the PHILIPPINE
Islands.
SPANISH FLEET ANNIHILATED.
Her War Vessels Wiped Out In 4 Two
Hours Engagen eit.

Early this week the country was
thrilled with the news of an Ameri-
can victory as brilliant as any Of the
old days.
The Hong Kong squadron, under
Commodore Dewey, has destroyed
the Spanish fleet at Manila.
Full particulars have not been re-
ceived in Weiser, but should be at
hand today. The best that can be
learned is that in the darkness OF the
early morning on April 30th the
American squadron from Hong Kong,
consisting of six fighting vessels
rushed over the network Of torpedoi
at the mouth OF Manila Harbo
without discovery and reached saf
water inside where the Spanish wa
fleet OF at least ten fighting vessel

were lying under the protection of
the forts.
As it became light the American
ships were discovered and the Span
lsh forts began firing, closely second
ed by the Spanish fleet. Amid a
hail of shot and shell from sea and
shore our vessels at once grappled
with the enemy so superior in num-
bers and in two hours the Spanish
fleet was demolished entirely and 400
Spaniards were killed. Details are
not learned. Spain admits that two
Of her vessels were sunk and one
blown up, but she claims the rest
were blown up by their commanders
to avoid capture by the Americans.
Some rumors say that our fleet sank
seven of the Spanish vessels and two
were blown up by the Spaniards
themselves. We did not lose ship
but it is known that there was con-
siderable loss of life on our side and
some damage to our ships.
Commodore Dewey then demanded
that all coal and war supplies in Ma
nilla be delivered up, which being
refused, he proceeded TO lombard
the forts and latest dispatches are tc
the effect that he is now in possession
of Manila and the American flag
waving over the city proper.
Full details will be received toe
late for this issue but will appeal
next week.

czAR's EAR CAUSES A STRIKE,
Remarkable Credulity of the Russian
Peasants OuaintIY Illustrated.

Remarkable Credulity of the Russian
Peasants Quantity Illustrated.
In the western districts of the Cher.
son province of Russia there recently
occurred a strike of peasants, who res
olutely declined to do any more work
for the local landowner, says the New
York Mail and Express. The police in
vestigated the matter, and, according
to st. Petersburg correspondent, gave
the following extraordinary reasons for
the outbreak A picture of the present
car was recently sent to all communal
councils in Russia, including, of course,
those in Cherson. AS the picture only
presented a. side view of the car, only
one ear was visible. This led the peas
ants to believe that the car really pos
sessed only one ear, and the loss of the
other they thus accounted for. When
Alexander III died (say those peasants)
his widow and old adviser began to con-
fer together, afterward inviting Nicho-
las II to join them. AS soon as Car
Nicholas entered the room he declared
that all land in Russia must be equally
divided among the peasants One OF
his councillors replied: "As sure as you
| can not see your own ear you won't di-
vide the land" The car thereupon
cut off one ear and remarked, "As sure.
ly as l now see my ear will divide the
land. The peasants in Cherson were
so convinced of the truth of this legend
that they believed a strike against the
landowners would be followed by the
Intervention of the car and the divi.
sion of the land among themselves.

A Great Danger threatens.

The majority of our citizens take.
the constitution seriously. They are
under the impression that all there Is
said therein is meant 1t is not so.
Some citizens of Pennsylvania thought
they had constitutional right to walk
on the peoples highway. They got
shot for their ignorance! A very dan
gerous addition-or amendment, rath-
er-to the state constitution OF Con-
necticut is about to be voted on by the
citizens of that state. 1t is worded
as follows: Every person shall be
able to read in the English language
any article of the constitution or any
section of the statutes of the state be-
fore being admitted as an elector." II
the citizens succeed in getting this en-
bodied in their constitution 1t Will
have a most pernicious and dangerous
effect. 1t will have tendency to make
people read. 1t may make them
peruse the state bill of rights and per-
chance give them a taste for that KIND
of literature. Then they will read the
constitution and after that the Decla-
ration of Independence. Then they
run chances of being shot! There are
a very few localities where citizen
may exercise his rights under the con-
stitution without getting locked up
very few places where he can do as
the constitution directs without get
ting into trouble. 1t is best to let the
constitution alone, that is the reading
of it, and take to the study of propa-
ganda by deed. It is not near so dang
erous. All the literature of that ma
ture that was ever written and read
never led to such tragedies as have en-
sued from the mistakes of American
citizens who took the constitution and
the Declaration of Independence seri
ously.-Machinists' Journal.

The First Lifeboat.

The first lifeboat was, curiously
enough, devised by a landsman, one
Lionel Lukin, coach builder of Dun
NOV, in Essex. This man had lost
some relatives in the laundering of a
vessel at sea, and he set about design
ing a vessel which should be unsink-
able. Having completed his design, he
fitted up coble, which was duly tried,
and which was the means of saving
various lives. Lukin patented his in
vention in November, 1885,

SOMETHING NEW in FICTION.
A Style Suggested by the Great Electri-
cal TransnaissIon Lines.


A nomadic electrical engineer and
inventor, recently returned from the
Pacific coast, relates the following
story in the Electrical Engineer: "a
few weeks ago a great American eagle,
which had been born and brought UP
in California, and was, therefore, a
sound money advocate, was making
visit in the vicinity of Fresno, Cal.
While he was waiting around on the
mountainside for his friends to appear
he became weary and decided to alight
in some convenient place for an inter
val of rest. He happened to land on
one of the barb wires of the electric
transmission line coming down from
the mountains into Fresno. While en-
joying his siesta an eagle came along
whom the California bird at first mis-
took for one of his friends. The
stranger also made the mistake of sup
posing that the California eagle was
friend of his consequently he alight-
ed on another wire of the transmits
sion line directly opposite and began
a conversation. In the course of the
talk it was discovered that the new
conner was Nevada bird, and conse-
quently rabid free-silverite. 1t is
much the same with the feathered
things of the air as it is with human
beings; that is to say, that the course
of conversation naturally turned to
| politics and from that to a discussion
of the money question The crisis
came when the birds passed from
| words to blows. The man who saw
| the fight is not exactly certain in his
own mind who struck first, but he is
| positive that when the beaks of the
two eagles met the only thing that
he could see was cloud of smoke and
flash of lightning. Closer investiga-
ton revealed the fact that immedi-
ately under the perches formerly oc.
cupied by the two eagles were two
pairs Of claws, two beaks and severa
bushels of scorched and pungent feath
ers scattered over the scenery. Tht
puff of smoke included the balance o
the remains But here is where tn,
real damage was done. When thes,
two eagles crossed their bills the!
short-circuited the line and causet
an arc, which was maintained for som
minutes, between the two OPPOSITE
sides of the line, until the copper wa
melted through and the circuit wa
broken. A search party was sent fortl
to discover the cause of the lack o
electric power in Fresno, and it wa
several hours before the damage wa
repaired. The linemen who straighten
ed out the tangle have preserved tn
beaks and claws of the birds and sew
eral of the feathers found on tn
ground. This is all the proof that an.
sane man would require as to the actu
al occurrence l have described"

Pr,son-o1ado cigars in michigan.

During the latter part of December
we learned that the state Of Michigan,
where he of potato-patch fame reigns
as governor, was contemplating the
trial of manufacturing cigars at the
Marquette branch prison. We at once
telegraphed Gov. Pingree, the prison
board. and the warden, and followed
the kilograms with letters to each,
protesting and giving valid reasons
why cigars should not be made in
penal institutions, but UP to the pres
ent writing not one of the above have
been moved with sufficient courtesy to
reply to the protest. Gov. Pingree's
often repeated claims Of profound con-
sideration for the workers and roasts
for corporations and rings is not in
keeping with his silence on this ques-
ton. We understand that the con-
tract has been let and that work will
soon be, if it has not already been,
commenced If this be true we will
have a few things to say in future is
sues of the Journal. We are, how
ever, loath, in view of Gov. Pingrees
public sentiments, to believe that he
has added filthy prison cigar making
to his great potato growing panacea
scheme for the ills of mankind. A
few years ago certain reform" gov
ernor undertook to manufacture cigars
in the penal institutions of the state
of Illinois. The members of the Inter
national union in this state took issue
with him and a vigorous battle was
ceaselessly walked against the ven
ture The iniquities of the system
we're fully exposed and predictions
made that it would prove a source of
annoyance to those responsible for its
Inauguration and a serious pecuniary
loss to the state. All Of which proved
true, and, to make a Yong ntasy short,
