The ship consumed $500 tons of coal making the passage from Plymouth, 49 days actual steaming.

"ESPEREN VOLVERhOS.

HE departure of Consul General Lee and Vice Consul Springer from Havana was made the occasion of an exhibition of studied insolence on the part ot General Blanco and of open insults the part of his subordinate officers and the Spanish popu lace Every indgnity short of actual violence which rage could prompt mean and cowardy natures to commit was thrown in the face of the representatives of the United States The general refused to see them the lesser officers of the Palace sneered at them the mob howled and hooted, and as last taunt the Alfonso XII swung round at her anchor in the har- DOT ana showed her menacing guns to the Fern as the American ship started on her outward voyage.
 All this array Of insult, nsolence and threats was borne with dignity but without wrath on the part of the Americans. From the deck of the Fern they sent back to Blanco, Havana and to Spain words of defiance that will be echoed throughout the United States wherever the news is read this morning Brave, manly words they were fitting answers the coarse ephets and offensive insults with which the Americans had been assailed
 You may tell Mr. Banco for me-" said General Lee to the pilot that the Fern will be the last ship of the American navy that will ever go out 6f Havana harbor while the Spanish flag flies over Moro" The farewell ot Consul Springer more laconic still He sent back to the mob the phrase "Esperen volvernos' (await our return')
 The American people will take these words as if uttered by themselves. The two phrases will furnish the cry of the nation Let Blanco and Havana await return. It will not be long, Such insults to the representatives of the United States made at the spot where cowardly treachery to death crew of American seamen, adds the last spark needed to explode the wrath of the people into swift and terrible action
 American warships will return to Havana They will go there prepared to the guns of the AL fOpco all her af They will go there moreover, to stay until the Span sh flag is hauled down from Morro. The prophecy of Lee shall be fulfilled, and Banco and all his black guards shall speedily have occasion remember the
 esperen volvernos" sent back as farewell message from the Fern.

ZOLA AND THE FRENCH.

I I Is gratifying to note from the European press
 that there is already observable in Paris something ot reaction from the violent antagonism aroused against Zoa during his trial Since the judg- ment against him has been set aside on appeal the reaction will serve him in good stead if he should be brought to trial again. and might possibly lead to his acquitta and possibly to reconsideration of the case against Dreyfus.
 The Westminster Gazette in reviewing the case that evidence of the reaction is to be in the comparatively large subscriptions which have been collected to deray the cost of Zolas defense and also n the responses that have been made to an appeal to the of France to unite in petition to the Government to undo the wrong done to Drey- us It IS further noted that signs of popular feeling against the Jews decreasing, and finally the Ga zette Tt may yet be possible that the prisoner of the He du Diable will have chance of vindicating himself in way which will be in greater harmony with uncoerced justice than the proceedings of the Zola trial'
 Whether the reaction will ever reach the extent which the friends of Zola confidently expect may be questioned but that will go far is not inherently improbable. The French not an unjust nor vim dctive people Their rage IS sudden and furious but 1t has of the elements of lasting and ineradic able hate Their civil have been fierce as any in history. but when the passion of battle had spent its force the members of the contending fac tions fraternzed again Catholics and Huguenots ceased to cut one anothers ttroats in France long before religious anmosities died in other lands, and royalists and republicans that ragged for each others blood during the Revou- ton harmonized to great extent a few years after, and many of them served as comrades in the legions that bore the eagles of Napoleon over all Europe.
 It IS i'll French nature that there should be re action from the fury that broke against Zola be- cause of his defense of Dreyfus, and it is to be hoped there will be equal reaction from the rage against Dreyfus himself That evidences of the changed feel ing are soon apparent is in itself good sign The whole civilized world is interested in this remark able controversy and will be glad of an outcome which will not only do justice to the victims of Parisian wrath but will show that Paris herself is capable of atoning for the wrongs she commits as she has the calmness to listen to the voices of her better nature.

in our war whilst counting possible Nelsons and Napoleons. We are quite as likely to develop them as is the en- emy; indeed, 1t is more reasonable to suppose that we shall, for having had somewhat extensive opportunities of viewing men and things I m imbued With the idea that the average Ameri- can brain is usually more capable than the Spanish-it is more fertile in ideas, and therefore the probabilities of evolv- ing genius are greater.
 This trouble Is not similar to those which bred the cries of "On to Rich mond!" and "A Berlin!" The territo- ries of the combatants in each of these instances were contiguous. The foes in the former instance were nearly on equality, but Spain's only equality in this dispute is in the number of ships she possesses. Incidentally the cry of "A Berlin!" might have had its echo in reality but for the character of the French officers, and in that one point alone we have an advantage which the Spanish will find cannot be easily over come.
 In conclusion this is quoted:
 ''If we must make war let us make 1t remembering that it is a three handed game, Chance being the third player. He is sometimes the strongest of the three and gives his assistance to the weakest"
 The man who goes into a fight with heart so weak that he imagines he may be knocked out" by Chance is half defeated before the first blow is struck l see no possible Chance" in the out come of this war. Of military opera tions, in all human probability there will be scarcely any, and our advantage on the sea is so great that we may with well-placed confidence assume that the naval warfare will be short, with vic tory for us as it's end. The immense advantages of docks, coal and general supplies easily available as well as ships and we'll trained men, are ours, and they certainly outweigh any Nelson of the imagination-even when so great as that of MT. Bierce.
 AS patriotic citizen I hope we may yet avert war, and so do all sen=ible people. The horrors, of even the small est struggle between nations are far more dreadful than can be imagined by those who have not seen the actuality, but if it must come I can see no reason for believing but that we shall conquer quickly and easily,
