change of methods also Capt Mahan
said on Saturday to several newspaper
men that he regarded some OF the news
published in the papers as treasonaDie'
The comment whether 1t is reasonable
or not, made by the newspaper men Is
that the board is far more desirous OF
keeping out of the papers plans that are
tried and fail than 1t is of keeping naval
movements secret.
The navigation bureau was closed yes
terday and the newspaper men requested
not to attempt to enter its one unlocked
door. The members of the board and the
officers of the bureau. when questioned,
stated that they had been ordered not 10
converse with the newspaper men on any
subject important or Indifferent If they
are seen talking hereafter they will be
under suspicion.
II is stated positively at the Navy De-
partment that there is no reason 70 be-
lieve that Blanco at Havana has been cut
off from communiea tion with Madrid. IL
is understood that three cables have been
running from Cienfuegos to Santiago de
Cuba. two in a wide outside loop and one
by short loops 10 ManZaniilo and by
land line from Manzanillo TO Santiago de
Cuba. Only two of these lines were cut,
according to the best information obtain
ed by the department The ships in the
southern blockade that took part in the
fight last week at Cienfuegos have been
instructed by the department TO cut the
remaining cable at all hazards. as the
isolation of Blanco is considered a most
important move.
Revenue Cutter Captured.
Hong Kong, 4:s0 2. m. May 15.-The
American dispatch boat Hugh McCunogh,
attached to Admiral Dewey's squadron.
arrived here this afternoon bringing dis
patches from Manila. She reports that
there has been no change IN the situation
there. Food is getting sCarcer in the city
and famine prices are prevailing.
She also reports that a Spanish reve-
nue. cutter entered the harbor of Manila
and was captured. The Spaniard had been
cruising around the sOuther nslands for
sixteen months and did not know that
war had been declared.

The Question OF Alliances Now All

The central European powers favor any

latest attempt at hostile mediation in
favor of Spanish sovereignty in the
Far East as essentially Latin. Ii Great
Britain We're unfriendly to us the area
of menace might spread further, but
Russian and German diplomacy and
political intelligence are not as dense
to the truth of our position, resources
and power as are the courts of the
rently the people, if not the govern
ment, Of France.
Great Britain speaking the same
language. and with an industrial and
commercial organization similar to our
own, understands us and knows that
only the spur of a high sentiment or a
national necessity has been wanting to
transform a commonwealth of seventy
four million peaceful freemen into a
military and naval power second to
none in the world. Our British friends
have seen this possibility for years,
and as a matter of high politics have
endeavored to provide against the con-
tingency of an American awakening
which might be at their expense. Thus
the effort to induce us to make the ar
bitration treaty, to consent to JOINT
control of the Nicaragua canal, and
other things in the same line!
Now, when the exigencies of conflict
ing interests and, in our. case. war,
have isolated Great Britain and ex-
posed us to the suspicious if not the
active animosity of certain foreign
powers. the British government is only
too glad to see the rise of new mill
tary giant in the West, and to welcome
and applaud his advent to the field of
for the worlds bread and domination.
Europe may fancy that the ocular
demonstration of our real Importance
and potential force as a member of the
family of nations is as much a surprise
10 us as it is to continental cabinets;
but that is a mistake. The American
people have been laggard in preparing
themselves to meet such conditions as
confront them now, simply because
they have been absolutely confident of
their ability to step to the front and
assert their rights as a first-class
power whenever occasion might de-
mand such course They now see
that they have blundered to an extent
Friends and foes alike Will soon realize
that they will utilize their splendid en-
ergy, resources and inventive and
mechanical genius to make up for past
Indifference; and that they have taken
a position in the arena of the worlds s
affairs and complications from which
they cannot and have not the slightest
inclination to retreat.
Whether this new forward attitude
is to compel the United States to range
| itself by the side of Great Britain as
a measure of self protection or not is
a matter which the stern logic of
events must decide. For the present
II would be ungracious not to be CRATE
full for the interposition Of British
friendship against the designs of those
who would forbid US the privilege of
Furnishing the common enemy OF man
kind and challenge our right to seize
and hold her territory, whenever 1t
may be necessary or convenient to do
so in prosecution Of honorable war
fare.

The Spaniards are showing remarka-
BILE capacity to become cheerful on very
slight encouragement. The fact that Ger
vera has eluded Sampson so far has ere
ated sentiments of satisfaction and con-
fidence in Madrid and thousands are

tions, as Admiral Bermejo said to the
Queen Regent when he learned that Ad-

vived the destruction of the Spanish fleet

In addition to the cooperation of Gen.
Gomez, Gen. Miles will have some assist
ance from General Starvation in his op-
erations against Blanco, if recent reports
are to be credited. 1t would be a mistake
to wait for that, however. Havana
should be invested at the earliest possible
moment and its sea defenses pounded to
atoms. Then if the Spaniards choose to
surrender in advance of an assault ana
get something TO eat they can do so.

If, as was expected, our naval forces
on the south side of Cuba succeeded in
cutting the shore line cable from Glen
fuegos to Manzanilla, the last means of
communication between Havana and
Spain by telegraph has been severed. The
extreme strategic Importance of accom-
plishing this renders it probable that it
was done after the shore batteries were
put to sleep on Thursday.

YE RINGTON SWEATS.

H. NJ. Y%eriugton has had his sweet
will carried out in Carson so long
that he has been dubbed the Pope Of
Ormsby.
Up to the present week his sway
was all power full.
1t is different now. Changes have
occurred since Stewart and Yerington
met in the bank one bracing morning
and agreed to disagree, Yerington
being deaf, the Senator had to write
his determination to depose the Pope
of Carson, while Yerington talked
loud and furiously that he held the
people of Carson in the hollow of his
hand and they could not wrest them
selves from his grasp. Stewart
wrote back that the people would
break loose and that he would help
them free themselves from the yose
of Yer1ngtonism.
Yeringtou O has the sweats, for
he fears Fighting Bill Stewart. Those
who know the fighting qualities O

THE REAL

The Carson Organ of the V. & I.
has opened fire and declares what the
real Issue is. 1t says that it is
the Southern Pacific. What do the
people OF Storey and Orm shy counties
say? Will they not say that the
issue is between the V. & T. r. r.
and the people whether or not the ex-
orbitant charges for fares and freights
between Virginia and Reno should be
reduced TO conform to changed condl-
tons. The assertion that the rail-
road cannot compete with teams and
stages is puerile. If this is SO, Why
then are railroads ever constructed?
The citizens of Storey, Ormsby and
Washoe counties have suffered in
silence too long the g%revlous Outrages
perpetrated by Yerington and his
clique.
If they do not make a move to obtain
Justice they will rever get it. The
people should at once form committees
to provide ways and means of con1-
polling the V & 7 r. r. to come to
time. With very little effort all the
money, uniting to SSS7 900 adj
vanced by the counties of Ormsby and
Storey and the Comstock Mining
Companies, can be recovered from the
V & T. because it is a debt similar
in every respect to that recovered from
the Southern Pacific. The counties
never before needed this money SO
badly as they do now. Deep mining
on the Comstock which would employ
at least 5000 miners would be as.
sured in a few months if the 1887, 600
given by the Comstock Companies to,
ward the construction of the r~ailroa|
were returned. Yerington may again
employ A. c. Cleveland, the smartest
lobbyist the railroad ever had, to de
feat the demand of the people, bu'
"Cleve,' has lost his power to deceive
since he wrote his poem.
The Southern Pacific is no longe,

issue now is to get a settlement be
tween the V. & T. R. R. and tn,

and treights.

1t was excessively warm to-day and the

people TO refrain from smiling when
some of the wan ones. booted and clad
in pajamas, passed them upon the streets
at the Point. The post appeared 10 be

Great quantities Of supplies for the sick

A carload of supplies from Kentucky
is said to have been very acceptable at
