exactly what it means. United we
stand; if there are any insurgents who,

NOTES ON THE WAR SITUATION

The navy department is proud of the
record made by the battleship Oregon
from an engineering point of view.
The reports to the department from
the ship shows that she does cot need
particle of repairs to her machinery
after her 900 miles continuous run
from our Pacific coast to Cuban waters.
The record has never been equaled.
The Buffalo, which came with the Ore
gon from Brazil, is to be overhauled at
Newport News, armored, given new
battery of 5-inch guns and altogether
made an effective modern cruiser.
Santiago advices state that the APP
pearance of the Spanish fleet off that
port compelled four American cruisers,
then bombarding the city. to. retire.
On entering the port Admiral Cervera
discovered that when the Americans,
who would now know his position, re-
turned in force his fleet would be en-
trapped, as only one ship at time
could pass the channel, the ships coaled
quickly aud went out. purposing to try
to catch the American ships separately
il possiblc; or at any rate, give Samp-
son battle on the open sea. The fleet
went northerly.
Positive, but secret, orders are said
to have been given for the movement
of the reserve squadron, the armored
warship Pelayo, the protected cruisers
Carlos V. and Alfonso XIII, the torpedo
boat destroyers Auaaz, Prosperina and
Destructor, the dispatch boats Giralda,
Rapido and Patria, and the armed
s-Atlantic liners Joaquin, Alfonso
XII, Antonio Lopez, Ciudad de Cadiz
and Buenos Ayres. The Reina Regente
and the Leon XIII are also being rap
idly armed. 1t is said that portion
of this fleet will sail for the Philip
pines and the remainder to American
waters.

Charleston Sailed to Aid Dewey.

After numerous delays the cruiser
Charleston got under way from Val
lejo, Cal, for Manila. Capt. Henry
Glass, commanding. The Charleston
was heavily loaded with ammunition
for her own guns, in addition to large
supply of powder and projectiles for
Admiral Dewey's fleet. No troops were
carried on the Charleston, as she has
no room for more than her own crew
of $50 men.
Later-After putting to sea it was
discovered that the condensers of - c
Charleston were out of order. She
therefore put back for repairs and was
delayed three days.

The Monterey Sent to Dewey.

The big monitor Monterey has been
ordered to proceed to Manila to rein
force Admiral Dewey's fleet. The
Monterey is probably the most formid-
able monitor in the world, yet she
combines with the enormous offensive
and defensive qualities of the monitor
type seaworthiness that is almost
phenomenal. The Monterey is 1900
tons displacement, $50 feet long by 50
feet beam and IA feet inches draft.
She carries in two turrets surrounded
by barbcttes, two 12-inch and two 10
inch guns, six 6-poundcrs, four one
Founders and two gatlings The tur-
rets are eight inches thick and the sur
rounding barbettes are II inches and
1113 inches of steel, and against this
armor all the batteries of Manila might
thunder without eifecting an entrance.
The Monterey's personnel is 10 officers
and 172 men, and once she is safely in
the entrance of Manila harbor nothing
in the Spanish navy would be likely to
bulge her.

Volunteers Land I'm Cnha.

Unless some accident has befallen
the U. S. transport Florida there are
now U. S. volunteer troops on the
island of Cuba. The Florida left Port
Tampa last week with several hundred
volunteer troops on board. The pas
sengers belonged to the regiment of
Cuban volunteers organized in the
lower extremity of Florida some weeks
ago. If this expedition is a success
other troops will be rushed into the
island as soon as possible. Besides
the 400 Cubans, the Florida carried
five carloads of ammunition, 10000
Springfield rifles, several Hotchlliss
one-inch rapid fire field guns and IS
pack mules. Just where the landing
place was to be was kept a secret, but
it was supposed in Tampa that the
Florida was to land within twelve
miles of Havana.

THE GRAND OLD MAN is DEAD.
Hon. william Ewart Gladstone Closes u
Most Remarkable Career.

Today there is mourning wherever
the Anglo-Saxon race has found an
abiding place. One of the greatest
lights of modern history has been ex-
tinguished and the greatest statesman
England has had in the past century
has passed through the portal of eter-
nifty. He is gone, yet though the NOR
tai breath has flown, he will live and
continue to live as long as the Anglo
Saxon race exists, for William Ewart
Gladstone was a great man who found
his way into the hearts of the people,
and there he will ever live. He is to
be reckoned among the few-''the i'm
mortal few not born TO die" His has
been an influence so profound that it
cannot end with the stopping of the
heart and the sitting of the tongue.
Whenever the mind reverts to con-
temporary England it inevitably thinks
of Gladstone. 1t sees him in parlia-
ment as the greatest debater and po-
litical leader in that most powerful
Legislative body. 1t sees him in the
British cabinet mastering the details
of administration in the departments
of finance, or of colonial affairs, or of
the internal relations of the British
nation. 1t sees him at the head of the
cabinet shaping the policy of the
greatest empire in the world. The
minds eye cannot look at any phase of
England's life during this half of the
century without beholding this cen
trial, all-pervading figure. And with
all his greatness of achievement, with
all the power over his countrymen
which he held, he was always the same
unpretending, untitled Mr.. Glad
stone" refusing steadfastly to accept
peerage, an honor that to a man of his
great character would have been mean
ingless. AS plain Mr.. Gladstone, the
great Liberal leader and reformer, the
champion of home rule, orator states
man, scholar and Christian gentleman,
the typical man of his country, he is
destined to hold a higher niche in the
temple of fame than any of his titled
contemporaries.

OVER TWO SCORE KILLED.
Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin Suffer From
Terrific TOrnadoes.


Forty-two persons are known to have
lost their lives, and % others are re-
ported dead, as the result of tornadoes
which devastated portions of eastern
Iowa, western Illinois and north
ern Wisconsin. The storm in
Iowa started near Stanwood and
swept through portions of Cedar, Jones,
Clinton and Jackson counties. Nine
teen persons lost their lives and more
than twice as many were injured. The
property loss will probably reach
$500, 900. In many places not build
ing of any description was left stand
ing. Cattle, horses and hogs were
killed by the hundreds. In numerous
instances farmers lost everything they
possessed. The Iowa storm crossed the
Mississippi river into Illinois near Sa-
wanna Considerable damage was done
on the Illinois side before this storm
spent its force.
The second tornado in Illinois started
near Stillman Valley and swept north
ward wrecking farm houses and killing
as it went. But the greatest loss of
life was at the point of origin. At
Lanark the storm ended by wrecking
the county almshouse and killing three
inmates, and three others were fatally
injured. There were over so persons
in the building when it went down,
and all of them were injured.
In Wisconsin the storm was more
violent than anywhere else, but fortu-
nately it originated in the numbering
districts of the northern counties,
swept along the line of the 800" road
and spent its force in the pineries.
Nine people are known to have been
killed. Unconfrmed reports have been
received that Is lumbermen were killed
in a camp near Heafford Junction, and
10 more near Elmhurst. The property
damage in Wisconsin, while quite
heavy, is much less than that done in
the fertile farming districts of Iowa
and Illinois.

MICHIGAN Navnl Reserres.

The u. S. warships Yosemite, manned
by the Michigan Naval Reserves, took
ON large amount of ammunition at
Newport News and moved down to Fort
Monroe. A trip was later taken out to
sea and two days spent in target prac-
tice. The boys are all reported well
and feel that they are rapidly becom-
ing genuine jack tars.
Next to the st. Paul, the Yosemite
will be the most powerful of the aux
iliary cruisers of the navy. She now
carries ~ modern sin guns, 10 modern
G-pounders, and four rapid fire rifles
The Yosemite will probably be one Of
