DELAWARE RIVER DEFENCES.
When That Stream Is Mined, Navigation at
Night Will Have TO he Suspended.

When That Stream Is Mined, Navigation at
Night Will Have TO he Suspended.
The reported establishment of sub
marine mines in the Delaware River.
neHr Fort Delaware, has been the cause
of considerable alarm TO shaG fisher
men, whose season is now we'll started,
and to others, who fear interference
with their vocation in the vicinity of
the mines, Major Raymond. the United
Statoa engineer officer In charge of the
daiences Of the Delaware River was
hsked Sunday what ground there WAS
for their fears. and how the planting of
the mines would Interfere with the
navigation of the river.
Major Raymond said that, OF course,
no submarine mines have yet been
planted In the river. When 1t ia done
due notice will be given.
1--WE are ready" said he, "to sstab-
liBh the mining defence at a moments
notice, and the work can bs done be-
fore hostile vessel can possibly ascend
the river"
In reply to the question whether the
mirea would be dangerous to friendly
vesHels, Major Raymond said that they
would not be dangerous II the river
were navigated under strict regulations.
AS soou as the river is mined" he
said, 'all navigation between sunset
and sunrise will have TO be suspended.
No vessel could safely pass through our
mine fields unless conducted by con-
tidential pilot Of the government. The
locations of the mines will be known
only by the engineer officers and the
commanding officers at the forts'
The supposition is that when the
mines have been established at Fort
Delaware. guard boats will be placed
on duty above and below the field to
halt vessels at night and direc. them to
anchor, and in the daytime to plaue on
board a government pilot to take them
safely through the mine field.

THE CLAY COUNTY FEUD.

Tho Hottie Factions Meet In Pitched
Baltic In a Hsniots section of Ken
tucky-Particular Arc Hard to Get.
Still Moro Fighting Feared.
Rarboursyllle. KY. April 1S,--Meagt
details have reached this city OF frel
trouble resulting from the Howard
Baker feud in Clay county. A man
who has just reached here from Man.
chester says that when he left there
yesterday he heard that there had been
another encounter between the hostile
forces, and in the pitched battle which
followed ten men were Killed and three
wounded. he had heard no particulars
beyond the fact that Lohn Baker and
Andrew Howard were at the head of
the respective particle
The encounter tools place, It is said,
70 or 30 miles away from Manchester, in
neighborhood where there arc no post
offices or telegraphss SO that particulars
will hardly be received before tomorrow
or the day after.
THIS is really case where the feud
involves prominent persons. A. B. How
ard, the head of the Towards. and one
of the first victims. was formerly sheriff
of Clay county and an influential poll
tician. He and his son, Wilkes Howard,
and a laborer named Stow were waylaid
o few days ago, the elder Howard
wounded in the shoulder and the others
killed.
Baker Charged with the Killing.
AL Baker was arrested, charged with
the killing. G. w. Baker. father Of the
Baker boys, was a well known lawyer
and had several times acted as special
circuit judge. He was q near relative
of Circuit Judge A. II, Baker. who died
a few days ago, his death being hasten-
ed by the excitement incident to the
feud. A sen, a. w. Baker, is a lawyer
of Manchester and at one time was
candidate for congress.
II 1t be true that 10 men have been
killed, this makes 10 men murdered in
the feud in the course of about 10 days.
Up to that time both sides had been.
good friends. The day following the
killing of Stow and Wilkes Howard
County Assessor James Howard met q.
w. Baker at a store, shot him down
and then escaped to another county.
The Bakers refused to be arrested I'M
less they were given a guard composed
of their friends. This was allowed them.
and Ance and AL Baker were put in
charge of about hundred men. 1t has
Just been learned that they escaped Sat
urday and that they are still hiding in
the country and preparing for more
bloodshed. They declare they will have
revenge for their old father.

But, thank the Lord, I'm livin yet

The canteen battered lies,
And the old war rifles rusty,
But ripe for exercise.

Impatient at the long delay,

SOLDIERS WIVES.
Many of Them Are Left unprovidcd

Many OF Them Are Left Unprovidcd For.
A pathetic incident occurred in the
Police Court at Washington the other
day which exposed one unhappy
phase of the war. A mother appeared
TO ask that her four small children be
committed to the charge of some char
liable institution, because their father
had enlisted in a Maryland regiment
and left her destitute. There are
doubtless many such cases in this and
other cities. Already there are fifteen
deserted wives at Fort Myer. near
Washington, whose husbands have
left in the regular army for the seat
of war without making provision for
their support. The ladies' at the post
are taking care of them and are trying
to find them situations as servants.
Their present distress is partly due TO
carelessness and partly to intention.
There Is n regulation In the navy
by which sailor, before he starts up
on a cruise, Is allowed-and custom re-
qulrcs him-to assign certain amount
OF his pay To his family during his alb
sencc and a power of attorney is fur
nished TO some one 10 sign the pay
roll In his place. But there is no such
provision In the army regulations, and
the paymaster general says an amend
ment to the law will be necessary be-
fore II can be arranged. Twenty-Five
thousand troops are going TO Manila,
1000 miles from home, and will re-
ceive their pay there. II Is not prob
able that all, or even "A majority OF
them, We're able TO make provision in
advance for their families or those
who are dependent upon them, and
there Is no means for them TO send
money home. In the meantime their
families VIII become objects Of char
ity. The same rule applies In greater
or less degree TO the troops that are
going TO Cuba and TO Puerto Rico, and
TO all who win be in camp during the

The FUTURE OF CUBA.
The Government Already Considering the
Question.

Question.
Washington, June 5.-President Nc
hlnley's plan of organizing Il repub-
lican form of government In Cuba that
shall represent all classes and factions
the rich and poor, the sugar plant
ers, the tobacco manufacturers, the
merchants, the professional men, and
all concerned-with legislature elect
ed by the people to make the laws, and
judiciary and executive chosen In the
same manner to enforce them, is not
approved by the insurgents. Gomez,
Maso and other leaders dissent very
emphatically from such n proposition,
and Insist that every man In Cuba who
has been loyal TO the Spanish govern
ment during the revolution or has not
shown active sympathy for the insur-
gents shall be permanently disfran-
chised and forever prohibited from
holding office under the new govern
ment. They declare that all of the
friends Of Cuba llbre are known and
can be easily Identified when they
come Into their kingdom. They have
suffered for their love of liberty; they
have fought to drive the Spanish nag
from the West Indies, and are entitled
to the fruits of their victory.
Haven't we been fighting and suf-
fering In order TO drive ont the Span
iards, and are we not entitled TO run
the government when they go? Are
the men who have remained loyal TO
Spain, and who have assisted Weylcr
and Blanco TO defeat us, to share In
the honors and cmolumen,sl Not
much. They can go back to Spain
with the army or we Will make them
very unhappy" Thus spoke one OF the
most prominent and influential of the

Such thing IN impossible. No man
who has not given active aid and sym
