WAR FEELING IN NEW YORK.
A Wonderful Display OF Patriotic
EufhuSiaSm.

A Wonderful Display OF Patriotic
Enthusiasm.
New York, May 22.-New York is war
mad flag mad, button mad. Every
where yolI- go the extra with its al
turing headlines, is before you. Rumors
of war appear upon the bulletin boards,
displayed every few blocks. Audiences
in the theaters and music halls rise To
their feet at the sound Of the national
anthem. They encore the Star
Spangled Banner" and greet Yankee
Doodle" with uproarious applause.
There is hardly a house without a
flag, The average acreage Of bunting
10 the block must be enormous. From
the home in Fifth Avenue to the Es-
sex Street tenement the Stars and
Stripes is the only wear. The sky line
OF New York is a bleRdins Of red, VIII te
and blue. Many a family with only
two fiat windows at its disposal devotes
one 10 the display of the national en-
sign and the other to the single starred
banner Of Cuba Libre.
1t is wonderful To notice the growth
of the pronoun we" 1t has become
one Of the leading parts OF speech You
hear men in the restaurants speak Of
the nen-of-war we" sank at Manila,
of the fight we" viii make when hos
tile squadrons meet in the Caribbean
Sea. In such a case il is necessary
that we" show our cOIors. Every
man you meet. or at least every other
man, carries in his coat lapel a button
or atiny festOoned flag.
SHOW your c0lOrs. cries the street
Tender. and you feel almost ashamed
OF yourself fer having left your patri-
otic decorations at home.
Don't be a coward" persists the
sidewalk merchant. Show your pa
triotism."
What man can afford to be held up
TO scorn as lacking in the vital ele-
ment Of good citizenship You viii

sidewalk merchant. but the next one

Suppose that you step into some
place for something TO quench the

take Of Dewey punch" which is
recommended as brew fit for the gods
Then there are Dewey cocktails, made
Of materials more potent than the cor
dite which sent the shells Of the Asiatic
squadron against the fortifica tions of
the Philippines.
Dewey's photograph is everywhere,
and pictures Of his fleet are omni-
present The gallant rear admiral now
stands sponsor for iunumerable brands
of cigars. dentifrice, soap and whisky.
His pictures adorn shop windows, and
his rugged features smile alike from
the Fifth Avenue bric-a-brac store and
the windows Of Division Street
Strategy turks at every street cor
ner- Down on the benches in City Hall
Park innumerable strategy boards are
convened, and by the aid Of a news
paper map battle after battle is plated
out and the destinies of Sampson.
Schley- and Eewera are definitely de-
termined. Every suburban train car
rles a consignment Of strategists. The
game Of war has superseded the game
Of whist. Battleships are trumps, and
the movement of fleets and armies is
no trick at al.

The Sixth Massachusetts Enter
tanned by Baltimoreans.
FOES OF so HONORED TODAY
The Historic Organization, Once
Execrafed, Overwhelmed With
maryland Hospitality - Beautiful
Floral Designs Presented to the
Soldiers.

Baltimore. May 21.-In marked contrast
to the reception given the Sixth Massa-
chusetts Regiment on April 49, 1861, was
that given that organization today when
it passed through Baltimore on its way
South. special invitation had been
given the command TO stop here en- route
and accept the hospitalities of the city,
and the War Department graciously gave
its assent Elaborate preparations had
been made for the reception. The streets
through which the regiment was to be
escorted was filed with people and every
house was beautifully decorated.
The Massachusetts, men reached here
on the train at 6 o'clock tonight People
from all sections of the city foclxed to
the station and the immediate neighbor-
hood was so denseIy packed that the
police experienced great difficulty in clear
ing the entrance TO the depot, AS the,
visiting soldiers appeared, the enthu-
siasm was tremendous. The air was filed
with hats and handkerchiefs. The visitors
Were plainly overwhelmed by the cordial
fty of their reception. The soldiers were
marched up to the plaza where the mayor
and a committee of citizens awaited their
coming. The noise was simply deafening.
Mayor Malster advanced TO Col. Charles
f. Woodward and in a speech referring to
the reunited country presented in the
name of Baltimore and Maryland the
floral tribute prepared for the occasion.
The tribute is a monster basket of flowers
in the form of a shield. Across the face
of the shield are clasped hands. Below
is Maryland 10 Massachusetts
On streamers extending from the basket
are the Inscriptions: Baltimore wei
comes the Sixth Massachusetts, Flow
ers, not bullets "God bless you and bring
you safely home"
Col Woodward made a suitable re-
sponse and then the line of march was
again taken up TO Camden station, and
the scene at Mount Royal was re-enacted
all along the route 1t appeared as If
everybody in Baltimore had become Mass
achusetts mad Cheers greeted the sol
diers at every step and they were almost
exhausted in forcing their way through
the crowded streets.
When they arrived at the station young
women fmportuned the visitors for but
tons as souvenirs. and gladly gave up
kisses in exchange. At the station the
soldiers were served with luncheon. Each
soldier was given a box containing sand
wiches, cake and fruit. In each bo1;
was a card. with crossed Cuban and
American flags and the American coat
of-arms. Underneath was the iHscrip-
ton, For God, Our Country and HUI
manity" The card bore the following
! inscription
''Marylands greeting to Massachusetts.

Bismarck Wastes No Sympathy Over

Hamburg, May 21.-Prince Bismarck
consented to an interview today, and in
the course of his remarks he said;
'''N's are accustomed TO have Americans

the Deutscher Michers powerful fists are
useful, but they are much mistaken both

alliances are worthless because she may
at any time sacrifice a minister Nor
does modesty abound in America, which
proclaims the Monroe doctrine. not only
in the Atlantic and Pacitfc. but every
where, without asking the opinion of Eu-
rope. The consequence will be future
increase in the American Army ana
Navy, which has been hitherto abhorred.

From Santiago.


London, May PA special cable to the
Daily Mail from Kingston today says that
the British schooner CHARLES s. Brown,
which took provisions to Santiago under
charter by the Spanish authorities, has ar
rived back there. Capt. Thorwi.dsen re-
ports that he was entertained in San

Ramsden. The latter said he was certain
that simultaneous with the attack by
the Americans an outbreak would occur
among the Spaniards, with inevitable dam
ger to the British.
The schooner brought dispatches mark
ed for Spain. presumably for transmission
to Madrid. Consul Ramsden sent a mes

contain an account of the state of affairs
in Santiago and requesting a warship for
the protection OF British interests. The
schooner escaped three American war

SPANS CHIEF SPY.
Senior Polo Sails Away and Leaves

Senior Polo Sails Away and Leaves
Du Bose In Charge.
Montreal, May N.-The mantle of the
chief spy for Spain In America has fallen
from the shoulders of Senior Polo former
Spanish minister to the United States.
and has been assumed by Senior Du Bose,
formerly the first secretary of legation at
Washington.
Senor Polo left here at daylight for Liv-
erpool. His spy headquarters in the Wind
sor Hotel in which he has done so much
work during the past fortnight. are
closed. AS far as the spy business is con-
cerned Polo's personal work is ended. But
he has still one trick up his sleeve by
which he hopes to worry the American
Government and defeat it's plans. The
plan is this
Polo sailed on the steamer at daylight
for liverpool. With him went all the
members of the Spanish legation at Wash
lngton. But at Quebec Du Bose left the
ship A private house had been engaged
for him in that city and this house will
be the headquarters of the Spanish spy
system in America 1t was originally in
tended that a house should be hired for
DuBosc in this city, but the plan was
suddenly abandoned.
- Quebec was selected for Du Bosc's resi-
dence because of the large proportion of
French In the population. OF the $4,000
people in that city. 5000 are French Ca
nadians. They have displayed a kindly
feeling for Polo and his associates and in
Montreal have rendered him substantial
service. inaQuebec their aid will be in
valuable to Du Bose His presence there
Will prove just as much of an annoyance
TO the American Government as Polo's
has been here. Du Bose is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the spy system developed
under Polos guidance In fact, Du Bose
laid the cornerstone of the system when
he was charge daffaires at Washington
and schooled the spies in the use of the
telegraphic cipher code.
That the United States Government can
force Du Bose 10 leave Canada is a GER
tainty, according TO an official here. He
said that unless the United States Gov
ernment has been asleep during the past
month II has collected absolute evidence
OF the nature of the work which Polo and
Du Bose have been doing. and that if this
evidence is sent to Ambassador Hay in
London with Instructions to demand ac-
ton upon it by the British authorities the
facts in the case will be presented to the
Dominion government.

send the reserve squadron with a strong

revenge should be sought off Manila itself,

There is no disputing the fact that the

lost later as a consequence"
