Extract from Senator Mantles address
at the S.lves Republican convention in
Anac nda:
Silver Republicans assert that na-
ton which Is strong enough to adopt a
stringent protective tariff policy in op-
position to the interests of Europe and
Asia. and in spite Of their threats of re-
taliation; q nation which is powerful
and courageous enough to assert and
enforce the Monroe doctrine in the face
of all the nations of Europe; a nation
which in wealth and productive power
is equal to one-fourth of the entire
world and which in available military
and naval strength and prestige to-day
stands on an equality with any power
on the face of the earth, is big enough
and strong enough, and ought to be in
dependent enough, to adopt it's own
financial system suited to the needs of
its own people without sending COM
missions abroad to sue at the feet of
roy ilty and to beg of inf rior nations
the privilege Of doing that which we
ought to do for ourselves.

IN CASE OF WAR
 MANY WILL VOLUNTEER.
Mail of Governor Shaw of Iowa Is Flooded With Offers of
 

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-A Des Moines special to the Herald says: Governor Shaw's mail is flooded with offers of service in case of war between this country and Spain. A large propor- tion of those who offer their services are veterans of the Civil War and ex- members of the National Guard The anti-Spanish feeling in Des Moines was given an impulse by the arrival this morning of H. E. Teachout and J, w. Hill, prominent business men, who have been making tour of Cuba. They left Havana before the explosion on board the Maine, but from their knowl- edge of the Spanish feeling they are certain that the disaster was not due to accident. Interviews with them de- tailing the suffering of reconcentrados and the insults to which Americans in Cuba are subjected were printed this afternoon.
 Arrangements are being made for the formation of a number of volunteer militia organizations which will offer their services to the State

STABBING AFFRAY AT
 SAN QUENTIN PRISON.
Armed With Knife, Convict Sheds the Blood of Eel
 loW-Prisouer.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Feb. 25.-An- other breach of discipline in the nature of a stabbing affray between desperate convicts occurred in the prison yard on Washington's birthday. The facts have been suppressed and jealously guarded, but they leaked out to-day In conse- quence of the affray a convict, whose name is said to be Henry Bettencourt, was taken to the prison hospital where the resident physician sewed up a gash in his face.
 Bettencourt and the convict who did the stabbing got into difficulty over some Irult that had been sent to them by friends on the outside On holidays it IS customary to allow the convicts to receive articles of food and small favors rom from relatives and friends, and some iruit t had been sent to Bettencourt and ms ms assaiiant. They had trouble about the division and came to blows in the yard Of the penitentiary. Blows were i.;dn r4l!oweo py curses and then the con- wet drew knife from his pocket and slashed Bettencourt in the face, making freely. oou iio"eu

Cases in Which the United States Has Demanded and Received Indemnity for Outrages by
 Foreign Officers.

Japan. In the case of Java the Secre- tary of the Navy sent a large naval force to the waters of Java to demand that the native trial courts should give the fullest protection to Americans The expedition was successful in its purpose, and all the assurances desired were given.
 In 1915 seven Americans were killed and about sixty were wounded while they were being detained in the British prison at Dartmoor. This was brought on by a clamor for rations, which was resisted by the prison guard. The United States demanded satisfactory and suitable reparation, and the Brit ish Government complied by an indem- nity for the support of the families ot those killed and wounded.
 There are quite a number of recent cases, the latest being that of the German occupation of Kiaochau over the outrages committed by Chinese on German missionaries. In that case the German Government acquired as in- demnity a large portion of Chinese. ter ritory, as well as one of the most val uable strategetic ports of China.
 The principle of money indemnity for the killing of foreigners has been rec ognized in several recent cases in the United States. One of these was the killing of Italians at New Orleans by a mob. In that case, while the United States did not admit the responsibility of the Federal Government for the act of mob, yet indemnity was paid out of the Federal Treasury as matter of international comity and equity. Simi- lar action was taken in indemnifying China for her citizens killed at Rock Springs. In the case of the Virginius a large money indemnity was paid
 Demands by the United States are now pending against Turkey for the burning of American missionaries property in Turkey during the Ar menian outbreak. There are many in dividual claims against Spain, includ- ing the Ruiz case and that of Dr. Del gado, now pending.
 President Buchanan adopted the pro- cedure of reprisal in 1859. This is a measure just short of war. Mexico was charged at that time with assenting to spoliation along the United States bor- der President Buchanan asked Con- greSS for authority to send a military force to secure indemnity, as diplo- matic negotiations had failed to bring redress from Mexico. This course was adopted by Congress, and the prepara- tions for the military reprisal soon brought forth a satisfactory adjust ment.
 Non-intercourse with Great Britain was one of the measures adopted in 1909 by what is known as the non-inter- course act, as a means of stopping as- sociations which up to that time had involved many complications and em- barrassments. Embargoes have also been reSorted to as a measure of offense against foreign nations, short of war, the purpose being to prevent the ship ping of supplies needed by the offend ing nation.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-A Washington special to the Herald says: It is not | denied by the administration officials 1 to-day that great alarm was eype- rienced yesterday and to-day for the safety of the Spanish armored cruiser | Vizcaya. The movements of the Hol- l land submarine torpedo boat which un- l derwent trial yesterday were respon- sible for the scare. Considerable relief was consequently felt by officials this afternoon when a dispatch was re- ceived by Acting Secretary Roosevelt announcing the departure of the Span ish cruiser from New York. The an- nouncement of the departure of the Vizcaya was made in dispatch re- ceived from Rear Admiral F. M. Bunce, commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Beyond the mere feet that the Vizcaya had sailed the telegram con- tained no information. It is believed by the officials that the cruiser is gone to Havana, but it is proposed to keep a sharp lookout along the coast so that in case she anchors in any one of the Southern ports adequate provisions can be made for her safety. It was admit ted to-day that the department was considerably worried yesterday as to the safety of the Vizcaya.
 During the afternoon Rear Admiral Bunce informed the department that the Holland submarine boat had left Nixon's shipyard early in the morning, oStenSibly to undergo a trial trip. It was evident from the character of Rear Admiral BunceS telegram that he feared the boat had fallen into the hands of Cubans or some irresponsible person who proposed to destroy the Vizcaya.
 The telegram was received by As sistant Secretary Roosevelt, who at once laid it before Secretary Long. h. StructionS were then prepared to Rear Admiral Bunce, directing him to close ly watch the submarine boat, to search for any explosives and to have her taken in charge by a naval guard in case it should develop that her officers and men intended to use her to destroy the Vizcaya.
 This instruction was subsequently, laid before the President who approved it, and it was at once telegraphed to Rear-Admiral Bunce.
 At a late hour last night the depart ment received a telegram from Rear Admiral Bunce stating that the boat had been found and examined, but nothing of a suspicious character had been discovered. It is believed by de- partment officials that the Holland boat was under surveillance last night and to-day. The course adopted by the department with regard to the Holland makes it apparent how sus- picious the department has been of everything which might seem to have any possibility of developing into a plot to destroy the Vizcaya.
 The department went on the theory that the Cubans in this country or some persons crazed by the loss of the Maine might have made an attempt to send the cruiser to the bottom of New York harbor, and it was against any such contingency that so many precautions were adopted.

TWO TEN-INCH GUNS SOON TO
 BE MOUNTED
No Time Is Lost in Preparing the DefenseS of San Francisco for the War That Seems
 Near.

enlisted men of the Third Artillery are confident that a declaration of war would not change the station of that regiment, but the same confidence is not entertained by the members of the First Infantry regarding the station of their regiment The enlisted men con- lecture that the regiment would be or dered to Key West at the beginning of operations, and a readiness to go at once is expressed by the men. While the officers of the First Infantry, Third Artillery and Fourth Cavalry do not regard war as imminent they perceive that the war feeling is on the increase throughout the country and that a con- fiict with Spain is among the probabili- ties. An officer of the First said yester- day: "I do not believe this regiment would be ordered away from this post if war were declared. The chances are that we would be ordered 10 serve as artillery in the forts of this harbor.
 Speaking of affairs at the Presidio yesterday, Colonel Evan Miles, com manding the post, remarked: Every thing is quiet here The force of ar tillery is ample to man the guns now in position. The orders advising extra precaution in guarding the guns and magazines are observed. We have not received supplementary or additional instructions. Visitors to the Presidio are allowed to come and go about as usual"
 A board of officers will meet at the Presidfo next Monday, for the mental and physical examination of such can didates for the West Point Military Academy as may be authorized to ap- pear before it. The following officers have been detailed for the board: Major Robert H. White. surgeon; Captain James S. Petit, First Infantry; Captain Euclid B. Prick assistant surgeon; First Lieutenant John D. Barrette, Third Artillery, and Second Lieutenant Thomas G. Carson, Fourth Cavalry. The examination will be conducted in accordance with instructions furnished the board by the Superintendent of the United States Military Academy.
 The following transfers of officers in the First Infantry have been an- nounced in orders: First Lieutenant Charles B. Vogdes, from Company I to Company B; First Lieutenant Rich ard c. Crofton, from Company c to Company l. First Lieutenant Francis E. Lacey Jr., from Company B to Com pany G. There will be no change of stations of these officers. except Lieu tenant Lacey, who goes to the Presidio from Benicia barracks.
 Payments to troops on the muster of February 28. 1898, are assigned to off, cers of the Pay Department as follows: Lieutenant-C Colonel Frank M. Coxe, deputy paymaster general: the Presi- dio, Fort Mason, Benicia Barracks and Benicia Arsenal. Major John S. Witcher, paymaster-Angel Island, AL catraz Island, Fort Baker and San Diego Barracks.

 Washington, Feb. 25
 The report of General Sooy Smith, the Chicago engineer who was sent to San Francisco to investigate and report on the foundation for the new San Francisco postoffice building, is still under consider ation by Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury Spalding, Supervising Architect Tay- Tor, and Chief Executive Officer Kemper. They decline to state the nature of the re- port, but a significant remark was drop ped by MT. Kemper to-day, when he said: After the report is made public in a day or two, hope the newspapers will not make mountain out of a molehill. Assistant Secretary Spalding was asked why General Smith. private citizen of Chicago, was sent to investigate and re- port on the foundation, instead of the de- partment sending a regular agent of the Treasury. Secretary Spalding said;
 Because we had confidence in him as a very expert engineer. This is a matter involving engineering problems merely and as the Seventh and Mission streets site has already been bought and paid for, and the work of excavation completed. the building will, of course, be erected thereon
 This remark of the Assistant Secretary naturally created an impression that General Smiths report will say that the lounuduon IS !nnrm ana will require a great deal of piling and at great cost The Call correspondent asked Secretary Spald- ing if the material to be used would de- pend on Smiths report. He said:
 Not at all. We have already decided to use granite. The people of San Fran cisco need not fear that there will be any great delay in proceeding with the work or construction on account of General smiths report. The work on the super structure will be pushed rapidly as soon as the bids are advertised for and the contract awarded" o ment to-day. but did not succeed in sat ting any information other than that gwen to The Call correspondent.
