Letter from Frank James.

FoRT WORTH, Tex, May 3.-Captain Robert Poole, of Aledo, Texas, has asked Frank James to command a company of 100 cowboys against the Spaniards. Following is Frank James reply:
 Your telegram asking me to lead 100 cowboys against the despised Span iards has been received. As yet have not fully made up my mind just what 1 will do in this matter. If was will ing to become your leader would not do so without the consent of Governor Culberson. My commission would come from him. imagine he would hesi- tate to make me captain, from the fact that he knows there are many among you who are no doubt much more capable of commanding a com pany than would be. I am proud of the compliment you have paid me. It would be an honor to any man to lead 100 cowboys from Texas, for they are born fighters. I am sure they will maintain their record to the end.

WE reproduce the following extract from the Phenix Republican,: "Con- sul General Fitzhugh Lee, late of Ha- vana, Cuba, is grandson of the fa- nous 'Light-horse Harry Lee of the revolution, son of fleet captain Sidney Smith Lee, with Com modore Perry when the ports of Japan were opened to the world, and nephew of Robert E. Lee. Sidney Smith Lee resigned from the navy after forty years of ser vice, at the opening of the civil war, as did his brother, Robert E. Lee, resign from the army at about the same time. Fitzhugh Lee is therefore the son of 3 distinguished naval officer. His grand father, his uncle and his cousins were all soldiers in some branch of the United States service at one time or another. At one time there were five Lees in the army and navy of the country"

THE Tulare California; Register philosophizes thus over existing condi- sioHs "Judged by all rational stand ards, things are not as they ought to be. The god of the storm ought not to waste ten feet of rain every year in cuha and grudgingly give the San Joaeuin Valley half as many inches. And what has been the sense of having it rain pitchforks all winter all over the North Pacific ocean where there is nothing but water, while hungry herds and focks roam over yerdureless hills making themselves crazy by eating sand! And yet while Topics dwells with dissatisfaction over the arrange ment, he cannot help remembering that this San Joaquin Valley raised straw enough last year to have fed all this stock for twelve months to come and the frugal people thereof burnt it all up to get it out of the way. We re- mind ourselves ever so much of the Indians whose stomachs are either distended to point of suffocation or clinging to their backbones like wet linen to the human figure, empty and useless. There may be a Providence presiding over us, but not in us."

ADMIRAL DEWEY,
The Hero of the Great Sea Fight at
 Manila.

Admiral George Dewey is native of Vermont and was appointed midship- man from that State in September, 1854. He graduated from the Naval Academy in 1858, well up in his class, and served on the frigate Wabash in the Mediterranean for the next two years. When the civil war occurred he was ordered to the steam frigate Mississippi and served at New Orleans, Port Hudson and Donaldson vile, La in that vessel, having been commissioned Lieutenant in April, 1861.
 After the destruction of the Missis- sippi Lieutenant Dewey was ordered to the steam gunboat Agawam of the Atlantic bloclzading squadron and was engaged heavily with rebel batteries in August, 1864, for which Commander Rhind, his officers and men received the highest praise in the report of the Admiral commanding to the Naval De- partment. Lieutenant Dewey served at both attacks upon Fort Fisher. He was commissioned Lieutenent-Com- mander March 8, 1865, eleven years af- ter his entry as an acting midship- man. He served in the Kearsarge, on the European station, in 1866. He was transferred to the Colorado, and for some months served on board the Cam andaigua of the same squadron, showing executive ability of high order at a time when it was needed.
 During l86S-69 he was stationed at the Naval Academy, and there com mauded the Narragansett on special service in 1s70-71.
 He was on duty at the torpedo sta tion in 1S72-just as he was made com mander. For the next three years he was upon the Pacific survey in the Narragansett, and followed this ser vice by term as Lighthouse Inspector. He was the Secretary of the Light house Board from 1877 to 1882. Then he made cruise in command of the Juniata on the Atlantic station, and was promoted Captain in 1884. h that year he commanded the Dolphin, and then was in command of the Pensacola the flagship of the European station from 1885 to 1888. He was promoted tc be Commodore on February 2S, 1896 and while in command of the Asistic has the rank of Rear-Admiral.

At Morenci, Graham county, a Span

At Morenci, Graham county, Span ish barber put on his building some- signs which were to the effect that he was hurrahing for Spain, and wanted the Americans put down, and any one who didn't like his opinions had the privilege of doing something vile. The Mexicans who read the signs were hot and proposed hanging him. It was only by quick work that he was taken to Clifton and locked up in the tunnel. charged with using indecent lan- guage.

TIE Philippine islands were discov- cred in 1521 by Magellan; they consti- tute an archipelago, in the southeast of Asia. and comprise more than 1900 islands with total area of more than 150. 900 square miles, and population of over 5,0OO, 900. These islands have been under the Spanish crown for more than three centuries, and the inhabi- tants have for more than century been in constant state turmoil. They are exceedingly rich in all kinds of tropical fruits and plant life, and rich in the precious metals. Manila is the principal seaport city and capital of the islands. It has population of 160 900 and is a place of very consider able importance on account of the German and English trading interests. The islands are exceedingly rich in natural resources, and when they fall into other hands than Spain they will be immensely productive and of great commercial importance. !

1t is estimated that, according to
the usual practice of allowing as prize
money 800 per capita for the crews
of vessels sunk or destroyed by war
ships of the United States, about $145-

ton among Admiral Dewey's officers
and men for their Victory at Manila.
But dearer far than this material re-
ward will be the bronze medals COM

On the day immedia tely following the
affair at Cardenas, Admiral SIMPSONS
fleet appeared off the harbor of San
Juan, Porto Rico. He failed to find
Admiral Cervera's squadron, as he ex
pected. The arrival of that feet at
Martinique had not then been report
ed. AS he could not remain to pre-
vent the use of that harb or as a pos
sible refuge, he decided at least to
render the Notifications useless. Fire
was accordingly opened, and the sub
stantial masonry which protected the
enemies guns was soon pulverized.
In the dense SIN oke which this can
nonade produced, some Of the shells
from the ships went aside from their
mark and fell into the djacent town.

cedure to deceive the enemy, pro-
vided that the flag is hauled down be-

THE MONTERREY FOR MANILA.

ssThe United States steamship Mon
terey has been ordered to Manila to
reinforce the Asiatic squadron
The Monterey is one of the most
formidable monitors in the world, yet
she combines with the enormous Of
fensive and defensive qualities of the
monitor type seaworthiness that is
almost phenomenal.
The Monterey is described techni-
cally as a barbed- turret, low free
board monitor of 4, 1000 tons displace-
ment. She is 256 feet long by SO feet
beam, and IA feet 6 inches draught.
She carries in two turrets, surrounded
by barbettes, two 12-inch and two 10
inch guns, while on her superstruct-
ure. between. the turrets, are mounted
six 6-pounders, four 1-pounders and
two Cuttings. The turrets are ~ and
8 inches thick, and the surrounding
barbettes are 14inches and II q inches
of steel.
Against this armor all the batteries
in Manila might thunder away with
out effecting an entrance.
The Monterey carries 10 officers and
172 men, and once she is safely in the
entrance to Manila Harbor nothing in
the Spanish Navy would be likely to
bulge her from her post. Her de-
spatch, therefore, may have impor-
tant bearing upon the plans of the
Spanish Government, SO openly pub
lished, of sending reinforcements to
Manila.
The only doubt as to the feasibility
of sending the Monterey is her small
coal capacity. She has bunker room
for only 200 tons of coal, and though
more might be stored on her decks, it
is doubtful whether she could at the
utmost carry more than enough coal
to Honolulu, one third of the way to
the Philippines.
1t is probable that she will go in
convoy, and that after exhausting the
coal that she will take on in Honolulu
she must either be towed about 1900
miles of her trip or perform the diff
cult operation of coaling at sea.
