War News in Brief.

| A refugee from Cardenas, Just at Key West
| tells OF the great destruction done in the city
| by shells from the U. S. warships in the re-
| cent bombardment.
There are now at Tampa and vicinity o..
600 regulars and volunteers, all ready to
| move into Cuba. Gen. Shafter says they can
| be got away in two or three days, but he
does not expect orders to go until the two
| fleets have met.
Capt. A. F. Pilsbury formerly of Rock
/ land, has been assigned to the command of
the Pacific mail steamer City of Sidney,
which is to leave San Francisco this
week to carry one thousand L. S. troops to
Manila, Philippine Islands.
| A special despatch to London from Bar
| BADGES, dated Friday, says: "The American
battleship Oregon arrived here yesterday, all
well. She took on board POO tons of coal and
| sailed to-day. Her destination is not known"
Major and Inspector General Russell B.
Harrison of the volunteers, and Assistant
Adiutant General James G. Blaine, Nav 2lst
took their oaths of office at the War Depart
ment, 1t is said that Mr. Blaine has been as
signed to the staff of Gen. Merritt, IN which
case he Will accompany that officer to the
Philippines
China is taking exceptional interest in the
present war There is a great unanimity of
feeling on the part of leading Chinese Brit
ish and American residents. All seem to
unite in the belief that it is holy war-a
war OF humanity. Chinas attitude is voiced
by the North China Daily News, which edi-
torialiy speaks of Mckinley in the highest
terms. His course throughout the dispute
with Spain has been calm, temperate and
dignitied, says the News. "IIe has borne
himself as Chief Magistrate should"
The news event of the day, May 21st, at
the Navy Department, was the despatch of
the order to the Monterey to proceed to Ma
Mia to reinforce Admiral Dewey squadron
The Monterey is a tower of strength in her
self, and her addition to Admiral Dewey's
force, together with the despatch of thou
sands of troops to Manila. is ample evidence
that the administration has assumed no half
hearted attitude towards the Philippine ques-
tion and is determined to take no chances of
dispossession until such time as the United
States itself has arranged for the disposition
of the islands. The Monterey is probably
the most formidable monitor in the world
yet she combines with the enormous Offeu-
slve and defensive qualities of the Monitor
type seaworthiness that is almost phenom-
Inal.

LAYERS OF ATMOSPHERE.
There Are Three Distinct Currents Of
Air Above the Enrth's
Surface. a.. .-I.

Prof. F. ii. Bigeiow, of the United
States weather service, presented a
paper before section B of the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement
of Science recently, outlining his in
vestigations of atmospheric condi.
tions. The first of these, entitled
The Structure of Cyclones and Anti.
cyclones" is in truth the continuation
of one given last year at the Detroit
meeting Of the association. The paper
of last year outlined the mathematical
conditions; the present one gave some
of the results Of observation, says the
Boston Transcript.
1t appears that in the atmosphere
there are practically three distinct
currents Of air, the first lying al an ell
ovation Of from 900 10 1 500 metres. the
second at from $500 to T. 0Ometres and
the upper one at from 5000 to 5000
metres above the surface Of the earth
These are, to an extent, separate
currents, flowing each with it's own We.
locity. At the bottom Of each of the
layers the stratus clouds are formed,
and at the top of each of the layers oc,
cur the cu1nulus clouds. This sug-
gests that the stratus originate at
the bottom of moving current and
the cumulus at the top. 1t is prob.
able, then, that the stratus owe their
origin TO the difference in velocity
and temperature Of the two layers,
while the cumulus are formed by
ascending currents within the layer
of air.

TIE GRAND JURY's CONDEMNA-
TON.

The recent grand jury in it's report
to the District Court went ont Of It's
way to heap condemnation on the
editor Of this paper. This unheard-
Of and uncalled for action grew out
of its consideration of the case Of tho
State vs. E G. Snyder. charged with
criminal libel. ..',.
In order to do this that distin-
guished body went outside Of its
duty and condemned the actiCn OF Il
person not charged with any crime.
The law specifically states that it is
the duty of a grand jury ito inquire
into all public otfenses committed or
triable within the jurisdiction of this
court, and present them to the
court, either by presentment or in
dctment." 1t also provides that il
the evidence does not warrant con-
viction the charge shall be ignored.
1t nowhere give that body the right
or power to censure or condemn the
actions of any in Individual not charged
with crime.
If the members OF the grand jury
found no cause of action in the char
ges against Mr.. Sny Ter, it should
have had the courage to say 80 with
out attempting to blacken the charac-
ter or reputation Of the complaining
witness. But lacking that courage
they attempt to excuse their failure to
find a bill against him by hurting
their puny condemnation at the head
OF the complaining witness.
When a grand jury does its duty
and acts within the law it is not sub
ject to public criticism, but when it
steps outside the law and condemns
the action OF private citizen to ex-
,cuse non-performanc of duty it
lays itself open tc the contempt Of all
right thinking people. II it can con-
denim the actions of one, it can those
OF another and no citizen is safe from
it's pollutinS breath.
Mr.. Snyder was either guilty
or innocent Of the charge brought
against him. If innocent the
charge should have been ignored
and If guilty he should have
been indicted. There is no escape
from this conclusion. But not in
dieting, the members of this body,
usurping the functions of public
scold, condemns the editor Of this
paper and set themselves up as
judges OF his conduct. Their up.
proval of his conduct is not solicited
and their condemnation is treated
with contempt.
