among naval men here is that

not correct.

Inducements will return to give

CAPTURE OF THE ARGoNAuTA.
A Valuable Prize Whose Importance ID
Increased by the Presence OF
Spanish Ofacers.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 4-The Span
lsh mail steamer Argonauta, Capt.
Lage, the news Of the capture of which
was previously photographed, was con-
voyed into Key West harbor by the
United States cruiser Marblehead yes
terday afternoon. It appears Col.
Vincente de Cortijo, of the third Span
ish cavalry, who with 10 other army
officers, was taken on the prize, Is o
brother-in-law of Lieut.-Ge n Valori-
ano Weyler. The colonel denies this,
but It is learned from good sources
that he sustains this relationship to
the former governor general Of Cuba.
His captors are measurably elated.
Col. Cortijo and the other officers
were transferred to the Guido and the
| privates to the Ambrosio Bolivar, two
other trophies Of the frst week OF the
war that are still lying ip the harbor.
The Argonauta herself is no mean
prize, being Of o thousand tons burden,
but the value of the capture lies main
" in the prisoners of war and the mail
matter going to Gen. Blanco. Her
cargo is general merchandise, with 2
large quantity OF ammunition and
supplies for the Spanish troops in Cuba,
The only incoming prize yesterday
was the little schooner Antonio y Pace
taken by the gunboat Newport, of
Mariel, Monday, and towed in by tht
gunboat Castine.
The castine has proved her proves
as well az the more redoubtable ship
of the squadron. At eight o'clock Sun
day morning she went into Cabana'
and anchored only about a mill
from the Notifications, which are
a sort OF composite Of fort and

A suit was placed on file In the

a widow aged 80 years, for $4,000
damages. Mrs. Welsh, who claims 70

of influencing the husband to abandon

PRIDE and BLUSTER Do NOT KILL
The Disaster at Manila Liable to be Re

same Cause-want of Preparation
and Inferior Arms.

MADRID, May 4.-El Heraldo de Mad
rid says:
SIT was nc caprice of the fortunes of
war. From the very first cannon shot
our fragile ships were at the mercy OF
the formidable hostile squadron. They
we're condemned to fall, one after an
other, under the fire of the American
batteries, powerless to strike, and
were defended only by the valor in
the breasts of their sailors.
What has been gained by the Illusion
that Manila was fortified? What has
been gained by the information that
the broad and beautiful bay, on whose
bosom the Spanish fleet persisted yes
terday, had been rendered inaccessible2
What use was made Of the famous
island Of Corregidor2 What wa done
with its guns? Where were the tor
pedoes? Where were those defensive
preparations concerning which we were
required to keep silent?"
Referring further on to the extent of
the disaster, Ell Heraldo says:
"We cannot define 1t. The govern
| ment has not defined it for the inform
alton of the country, and. although
the greater portion of yesterdays cabi'
net council was devoted to the subject
the government has refused to ISSUE

/ would write an article on "Township

is known as Township Organization.
Under such q system the officers of a

the county decreased. Each township
then has q Township Board, consisting
Of q President, Clerk, Treasurer and
two other members, whose duty it is
to open up new roads, pay overseers
for working the same and authorize
the building Of small bridges. Instead
of q County Assessor the property is
assessed by the Township Clerk, and
instead Of a County Collector there is
