ARDMoRE. FRIDAY, JUNE "a.

The man who cheats the printer
Out of a single cent
Will never reach the heavenly Lane
Where old Elijah went.
He'll never gain admittance there,
But be by demons driven,
And made to loaf his time about
Outside the gates of heaven.
He'll never meet pleasant face,
Or see one festive grin;
his only chance of happiness
Will be almighty thin.
Exchange.

The STAR=SPANGLED BANNER.

Oh! say you see, by the dawns early light,
What proudly hailed the twilghs last cleaning
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perous fight
Der the ramparts watched gallany streaming!
And the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that flag was still there
Oh! say, does that StarSpangled Banner still wave
Oer the land Of the free and the home of the brave?
On that Shore dmly through the msts the Deep
Where the foes naughty host in dread silence reposes
What is that which the breeze Ger the towering Steep
AS it ftfully blows, conceals, now discloses?
Now it catches the CLEAN of the mornings first beam,
In full glory reflected shines the stream;
Tis the StarSpangled Banner-oh! long may it wave
Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave
And where is the band who so auntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battles confusion
home and country should leave more
Their blood has washed their foul footsteps pollution
No refuge could save the hrelng and the slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave
And the Star-Spanged Banner in triumph doth wave
Der the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when reemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the worlds desolaton:
Blessed with victory and peace may the Heavenrecued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserved nation
Then conquer must when cause it is just
And this be motto 'In God is our trust
And the Stars pangled Banner in triumph shall wave
Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave!

CUBA IO b INVADED.
Rumored That Occupation
of the Island Will Be-
gin at Once.
10000 REGULARS TO LAND.
junction to be Formed With the
Troops of Gomez and Garcia.
THE WAR WILL BE VERY SHORT.

Washington, April 26.-There is
strong reason to believe that the in
vasion of Cuba will not be deferred
until the volunteer army can be orga-
nized. 1t is probable it will begin
soon, perhaps by the end of this week
or the first of next. 1t will be com
menced by the Regular Army in as
large a body as can be transported to
the island at one time.
A landing will be effected on the
northern coast, and the first effort of
the Army will be devoted to uniting
our forces with the Cuban forces and
relieving the distress of the recontra-
dos.
Probably the first force to land
wouldeconsist of something like 5000
or 10000 men. 1t safely could be
much smaller With the feet to
support it, it would have no difficulty
in maintaining itself against any
Spanish attack, should the Spaniards
venture beyond Havana Province,
which is not probable.
The forces of the United States
troops would soon be joined by sever
al thousand Cuban soldiers and by
several thousand Cuban volunteers,
who would be armed and drilled.
The immediate effect of such land
ing in Cuba, wonld be, it is thought
by Army officers, to drive the Span
iards still closer together within the
lines. 1t would be equal to "bando, y
with the participants reversed, and
the Spaniards would not find them
selves suddenly converted into recon
centrados shut within their fortified
lines without food and supplies.
The only way such a situation could
be relieved would be by sally and q
battle, or by surrendering. Before
the former expedient would be at.
tempted the Americans would be rein
forced by the remainder of the regu-
lar army and with the Cuban troops
would be at least 10000 strong, and
able to defy any army that Blancc
could lead against their lines.
Gomez and Garcia are fully aware
of the plan of the Americans, as fai
as it affects their present course
These Cuban leaders are ready to join
the troops of the United States, and
are ready to put a great many more
men in the field if arms and ammu.
milton be furnished them by this
country.
Many officers think that this would
be at once the most economical and
most expeditions way of bringing the
revolution to a close 1t would draw
the lines SO close about the Spanish
troops that resistance soon would be
impossible.

ONIHEVERGE OF BATTLE
United States and Spanish
Fleets to Meet at the
Philippines.
AN ENGAGEMENT EXPECTED.
Admiral MOntejO Sails to Meet
Rear Admiral Dewey.
STRENGTH OF OPPOSING FLEETS

MADRID, April 27-An official dis
patch has just been received from the
Governor of Manila, capital of the
Philippine Islands, in which he an
nounces that he expects hourly to
hear of the engagement between the
Spanish and American squadrons.
The Spanish Philippine Islands
fleet has sailed to meet the Unite d
States squadron. The latter had
not been sighted when the cable me S.
sage was sent, but the American war
ships were expected at any moment.

The Spanish fleet at the Philippine
Islands may be able to resist the
United States fleet for a short time
with the assistance of the guns from
the Spanish forts, but otherwise the
American vessels would make very
short work of the Spanish squadron,
which consists of the following ves-
sells:

THREE MORE PRIZES TAKEN
The MangrOve Captures
the Big Steamship
Panama.
SHE is AN AUXILIARY CRUISER, TOO.
The Little MangrOve Expected
to be Fired Upon.
THE GUHBOaT NEWPORT GETS TWO PRIZES

KEY WEST, FLA, April 16.-The big
Spanish steamship Panama of the
Ceballos Line, an auxiliary cruiser,
(which lefs New York on April 20. for
Havana, with a number of Spanish
refugees on board, and very valuable
cargo, including, it is understood, stores
for the Spanish army, was captured
last evening, about 90 miles from Ha-
vana, by the little lighthouse tender
Mangrove, now belonging to the Mos
quito fleet.
The Mangrove mounts two six
Founders and four 38-revolvers. She is
commanded by Lieut. Commander W.
H. Everett, and has a crew of 13 men.
The Panama is of about $500 tons,
and very valuable prize.
When the Mangrove sighted the
Spaniard she ran up to her and fired
a gun across her bows. The liner did
not take the hint, and q second shot
was fired, after which the Panama
slowed down "a little. a third shot
was fired across the bows of the Pan
anna, at 100 yards, and the deck officer
of the Spaniard was hailed and notifi-
ed that if he did not heave to shot
would be sent through his vessel.
This notification caused the Panama
to be brought to.
Ensign Dayton then boarded the
Spanish steamer and took possession
of her.
The battle-ship Indiana then steam
ed up and Commander Everett mott
fed Captain Taylor of the Indiana
that he had captured the Panama
and borrowed prize crew from the
battle-ship, consisting of Cadet Fal-
coner and 10 marines.
The Mangrove was then ordered to
report to the flagship, and Rear-Ad-
miral Sampson told Commander Ever
ett to take his prize into Key West.
The Panama is understood to have 80
passengers on board. AS she rounded
to after the little Mangrove captured
her, the latter, knowing the Panama
was an auxiliary cruiser, expected to
be fired upon. 1t is not yet known
whether the Panama had guns on
hoard
