wARsHIPs OFF QUEENSTOWN.
Spanish Vessels Prowling About the
Track of American ships.

London. April 5.-The Chronicle prints a
report that one or two Spanish warships
are prowling about off Queenstown in the
track Of vessels plying between the United
States and Great Britain. If this report
IS correct the presence of the warships
has possibly some connection with the
disabled torpedo boat, Audaz, which is
being repaired at Waterford.
Spain, for obvious reasons, is most anX-
ious TO get the Audaz away as speedily
as possible. The sister ship of the Audaz
has reached FeTrOl.

From the New York World.
The present outlook is that the gov
ernment will not be able to avail itself of
Mr.. Bryan's offer of his services for mill
itary purposes. The offer was promptly
made and was dictated by the same spir-
it of patriotism which opened recruiting
offices all over the country, and which
sought to lessen as far as possible the in
evitable difficulties of the government in
creating on short notice an army out OF
the avail able but unframed material on
W mich it had to depend.
There is no fault to be found with Mr..
Bryan's intentions, but his course be-
trayed lamentable ignorance Of the
conditions under which such a govern
ment as ours goes to war. While Mr..
6ryal's ancestry is respectable it does
not occupy that exalted position in
American society which entities it's de-
'ScendantS to appointments and commits
siOns in the army regardless of their lack
OF national intelligence or military expe-
rience.
Mr.. Bryan is not the son of cabinet
othcor nor of senator, nor of mem Der
OF congress, nor of a millionaire; he is
not even nephew of governor nor of an
ex congressman. He has absolutely no
claim whatever to commission on an
cestral grounds, and the trihing circum-
stance that something more than six
millions of his feIlow-citizens considered
him qualified to serve as cOmmander-in-
chief of the army and navy of the United
States is so far from recommending HIM
that 1t is probably the reason why he has
been persisteDuy snubbed in his modest
effort to be of service to his country

wood, Ia, has long been one of the leading
citizens Of Mills County, and since the
days of his service for the Union cause
has labored industriously at his home in
Rawls township, with the result that he
all the comforts heart could wish, but has
grown into the esteem of his fellow men.
His popularity and standing, therefore,
made his election to the County Treasurer
ship easy. His work as County Treasurer,
however, was combining. Coming as he did
from an active outdoor life on the farm to
the close and conhning duties of the treas
urer's Office, he quickly began to run down
in health and to visibly fail in strength and
energy. The Deputy Treasurer, Mr. Lon
Sawyer, is great believer in the efficacy of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. His constant
advise to his employer, Mr.. Utter back, was
to the effect that he should use these
pills. Finally Mr.. Utterback consented
and now after having used sew eral boxes he
IS able to make the following statement to
your correspondent:

hey benefit me as they do now 1t is rarely

vice in the battle Of Shiloh The campaign
before Corinth and later the Siege Of Vicks-
burg were important events in the service as

imagine we were greatly exposed and at
times but poorly cared for during those awful
days. In my case, army diarrhma was the
result. It has been the burden of my life
for over thirty years, but at last | have found
something to conquer it. The Pink Pills
are success in my case, as | have no doubt
they will be with all who will use them"
The reporter afterwards called upon
VIM. Skilicorn, the popular druggist, and
from him gained the information that Dr.
Williams Pink Pills have reached a most
surprising sale in this community. But
