SCHLEY GOT MAD
And Gave a Spanish officer a Piece of
His Mind

Guantanamo Bay, July 23.-When Adj
miral Cervera and the other officers of
the fleet OF Spain were about to sail on
the St Louis, as prisoners of war, it
was discovered by Flag Lieutenant
James H. Sears, that the officers of the
Cristobal Colon had their log books
with them. He reported the fact to
Commodore Schley, who at once order
ed them seized. The second in COM
mand, AdOlphus COntreros, Capitane de
Frigate, came aboard the Brooklyn and
asked that they be returned as they
were the only records saved. Commo-
dore Schley said:
I will turn them over to my govern
ment for information"
Contreros stormed and pleaded and
finally Commodore Schley lost his
temper, as much as he ever does-and
that is little-and said:
4 do not see that you are entitled to
any consideration at all. You sunk your
ships after you had surrendered. You
ruined your guns and did everything
that a dishOnorable enemy could think
Of I shall hold your log
The story told by the log book is an
interesting one. The minute details, as
translated by Lieutenant Benjamin
Wells, Jr., from the daily record, con-
stitute a complete story of the move
ments of Admiral Cervera's fleet from
the time it left Spain to the memora BILE
day of destruction.

ANNEXATION OF CUBA
Is Regarded as Manifest Destiny in
England.

London. July 2S.-The Speaker says
regarding the behavior of the Ameri-
cans at Santiago:
The presidents proclamation opens
a prospect so much better than could
be offered by a. Cuban republic as to
make it clear that annexation is mani
fest destiny The acquisition of Cuba
implies that of Porto Rico as a provis-
ion against menace to the American
coast and the Nicaragua canal Di-
rectly the the Spanish ports are at
tackled the Monroe doctrine will be
abandoned. Though bombardment would
be a grievous mistake it is probably
the most natural method of bringing
Spain to her knees"
The Saturday Review predicts a ''war
of determination between Americans
and Cubans six months after the con-
quest of the island 1t adds: Cuba
will corrupt the American governors
and the reign of the American boss is
not likely to be exemplary The cost
OF the whole proceeding will be more
than two hundred and fifty millions
and the game is not worth the candle"
The Statist says: The new policy
viii necessitate a great change in the
America governmental system, the
president and house of representatives
acquiring powers and the senate losing
them The United States will spea k
with a more potent voice in all inter
national affairs than any continental
country.
None of the latter could infiict Sc
rious injury on the United States in the
event of war, while the American navy
before long would be able to sweep
from the seas any continental navy.
The time is not far distant when the
United States will speak with unequiv-
ocal and determined voice in the far
east. While 10th to NEEDLE in purely
European affairs such events as the
Armenian massacres will certainly lead
the churches of the United States to
raise the cry that such atrocities must
be ended"
The Saturday Review says also:
1.-THE lesson of all our conflicts with
America was that the American sold
iers and sailors shot markedly better
than our own, and won astonishing VIC
tories 1t looks as if the other lesson
holds good today"

WORD FROM ED LITTLE
Will Send a Philippine Queen to To-
peka if He Can Get One

The following telegram from Lieut. en-
ant Colonel E c. Little of the Twen-
tieth Kansas-now stationed at Camp
Merritt San Francisco-to c. K HoI-
liday, jr., president of the KarnivaI
Knights, explains itself. 1t reads as
follows:
Camp Merritt. July %, '9S.
G. K. Holiday, jr.. President K. K,
Topeka, Kas:
On arrival at Manila will forward
one young and beautiful queen for Fall
Festivities as requested. However,
recommend Kansas queens. Have tried
four continents and prefer them.
f. c. LITTLE.
Referring to the above telegram Mr.
Holiday said that the KarnivaI
Knights would do everything in their
power to secure one of the beautiful
Philippine Islanders as queen of the
Karnival. Mr. Little has been written
to in addition to the telegram sent him
and full authority was given him to
proceed on the lines first Indicated
Furthermore, Mr.. Holiday said that
there was a disposition among some
people to treat this matter in a spirit
of leVity. We had to contend with the
same doubling ThOmases when the idea
was first preached of bringing Miss
Whitney here last year, but we brought
bringing a young lady from the Philip
pines will not be much greater than
that incurred by entertaining Miss
Whitney, and the only difficulty in the
way is the question of time.
Il have. no doubt, however" continued
Mr.. Holiday. that the Karnival Knights.
at their Monday night meeting, will ind
some way to overcome this apparent OBJ
stacle-i. E., the question of distance and
time. little money and a free use of
the cable to Hong Kong will work Won
ders, and the Karnival knights know the
advantages of both.
Our prime object in bringing our queen
hibit one of our new neighbors to the peo-
PIE PIE OF Kansas: We appreciate the fact
of our sisters from our new possessions
farthest removed, hence our efforts to Sc
cure a young lady from the Philippines
If by any reason. however. we cannot
accomplish this, we viii do the next best
thing and secure a queen from the Ha-
waiian islands. The Hawaiian girls are
noted for their grace and beauty. They
are as unknown to US as the people of
the Philippines and will undoubtedly Gre
ate great interest.
This much is certain-a queen from
either one of these places will be here and
participate in the festivities. That the
Karnival Knights have undertaken it as
sures the success of the project. We
want the hearty cooperation of every
Knight and they are all earnestly re-
Quested to be a the meeting next Monday
evening at 8 O'Clock, at the Commercial

DEAL MAY BE OFF.
Creditors of st. Louis Ball Club Disap-
pointed in Settlement.

st. Louis, July 23.-The creditors of
Sportsmans' park and club assembled
together today to meet President
Muckenfuss by appointment to settle
their claims at so cents on the dollar,
but they were disappointed. Mucken-
fuss failed to appear and the creditors
finally adjourned.
It is now stated on good authority
that the cause of NIuckenfuss' failure to
appear was that Edward c. Becker has
withdrawn from the deal for the
Browns and is no longer a prOba BILE
purchaser. According to Becker, new
claims against the club are coming in
daily and the matters are each day be-
coming more Intangible and he does
not think it would be a safe invest
ment- By some, it is thought Becker
withdrawal may be a ruse.
