WAR NEWS IN BRIEF,

4H aHa. -
The Spanish steamer P. de Satruste.
gui, for Manila from Barcelona, was
ordered back from Alden to Suez.
The delay in sending troops and sup
plies to Dewey is due in a great part to
the eXorbitant demands made for trans
port ships.
1t has been practically decided to
make a second call for volunteers, al
though the number to be asked for has
not been agreed upon.
Former Minister Polo and party sailed
from Montreal to Liverpool enroute to
Madrid. A United States secret SER
vice man was a passenger on the same
boat.
The Spanish auxiliary cruiser Mont
serratt arrived at Corunna, Spain, hav-
ing, it is announced, successfully eluded
the American blockadiug squadron at
Cuba.
President Mckinley is directing the
war to great extent himself and he is
personally planning the general move
ments OF the army corps and naval
squadrons.
Private telegraphic inquiries from
Kingston, Jamaica, to Santiago concern
ing the Spanish squadron fail to bring
any response, although the cable is in
working order.
Admiral Camera, after holding q gen.
eral conference with the minister of
marine at Madrid, has returned to
Cadiz. His fleet, it is said, will sail
under sealed orders.
It is officially declared at Madrid that
If the Americans cut the Cuban cable
the Spaniards will retaiate by cutting
the Galveston cable so as to interrupt
Southern Pacific communication.
A detailed account of Admiral Samp-
sons 10 days cruise from Key West to
st. Thomas and return was given out.
1t appears that the attack ON San Juan
was made with the hope of catching
the Spanish feet in that harbor.
The Sixth regiment, Massachusetts,
volunteers, passed through Baltimore
and were given an ovation by the citi-
zens. The old regiment was mobbed
while passing through the Monumental
City in 1861.
Official reports from the battleship
Oregon show that she does not need a
cents worth of repairs to her machinery
after a continuous run of $4,000 miles.
This record has never been equalled
since the. first iron warship was con-
4tructed.
No official news was given out at
Washington touching on the move
ments of the opposing fleets, but the
officials are expecting great events to
occur at any moment. They expect the
first report of a battle to be in favor of
Spain, because the news will likely
reach this country through Spanish
cables via Madrid.
The war department is practically
prepared for the invasion of Cuba, and
within ten days the army will be on its
way or have reached the island. Gen
eral Miles will accompany the troops
and supervise the initial movements,
but the active and direct command will
be in the hands of General Shafter
Four expeditions are to be landed in
Cuba, aggregating approximately To-
600 men.

MUSrERINe OF VOLUNTEERS.


Adjutant General COrbin Expects the
Work to BE Finished This Week.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-Mustering
into the United States service of volun.
teers in the state camps was practically
suspended Sunday, to be resumed, of
course, today. Reports received by Ad.
jutant General Corbin up to II o'clock
last night, indicate that 100000 volun.
teers have been mustered. 1t was ex,
pected that the mastering would be
completed by this time, but delay has
been caused by the inadeQuacy of the
militia, both in numbers and in equip.
ment, in several Of the states.
General Corbin is of the opinion that
the quota called for will be filled during
the present week, within 80 days from
the time the orders were sent out to the
governors.
CHATTANOOGA PARK, Ga, May 23.-
The Fourth Ohio regiment, under Colo.
mel Colt, has been assigned to provost
guard duty at Chattanooga by order of
General Brooke, made necessary by the
disorderly conduct of many of the
young soldiers, who have been guilty of
many lapses of discipline, in a number
of cases Of violence end insulting ladies

awHERE ARE WE ATq"

IL seems that Senator Hanna Is to pre-
side at and open the Ohio Republican
state convention.
The senator will hardly explain what
his party is at in their efforts in Con-
gress to issue bonds, to an amount OF
several hundred millions.
As to "wbere they are att Is also
question to consider. Their manage
ment of the war has not yet got Havana,
nor any other point in Cuba.
The country is well pleased with
Dewey's great victory at Manila; but the
question comes up--how mdch credit
does the administration deserve2 Does
it deserve any7 Why has not Havana
been captured2
Admiral Dewey is waiting for a land
force to enable him to push his victory.
He cannot hold the city Of Manila with
out. And as yet but few Of. these
troops have started.
Mr.. Hanna will no doubt claim the
insurgent army in Cuba is myth. AS
an organ said: "The insurgent army In
Cuba is not unlike that Of Falstafl, I"
that is, 10 army at all. But in the
same paper and in the same column wss
the following:
"while there are grave fears that the
reconcentrados in Cuba are in great dis.
tress from the pangs of hunger, 1t is
doubtless true, as has been suggested, +,
that the Spanish lines have been ma
terially curtailed by the war situation
and that the patriots are thereby en-
abled to extend relief where it was here
tofore impossible"
SO here is confession that the in.
surgent patriots do amount to some
thing. They caused the spanish lines"
to contract, materially curtail," and
"thereby extend relief." But have they
the means to "extend relief" And
why this delay on our part to help the
patriots to "extend relief?"
The resolution Of Congress under
which the United States entered upon
war with Spain declared explicitly and
emphatically that the sole object Of the
war was the relief Of Cuba and her strug.
Cling people. 1t was to be no war Of
conquest.
Does it not look as If the foregoing was
lost sight of in measure? The idea OF
the American people was that there
would be no delay in prosecuting the
war in Cuba with a land force that would
afford relief and lend helping hand to
the patriots who have so nobly main
tanned the struggle for the three years
last past.
The expulsion of the Spaniaids from
Cuba was the only declared object ofthe
war. The purpose was not to take the
PHILIPPINE Islands nor even Porto Rico

WASHINGTON, May 23.-An extended
dispatch from San Francisco, giving the
final details of the embarkation Of
troops for the Philippines tomorrow,
stated that the City Of Pekin, the Sgd
ney and the Australia would sail on
that day with the First regiment of
California volunteers, the First Oregon
volunteers, one officer and 80 men from
the heavy artillery Of the California
volunteers, making in all l25 officers
and 2,400 MEN, under Brigadier General
Thomas Anderson. Although General
Anderson takes charge of this COM
mand, it is understood that General
Otis, who is in San Francisco, will ac-
company the expedition. The Pekin
was originally secured by the navy de-
partment, but as she is so large and
serviceable as troopship, the army is
using her in conjunction with the navy.
Besides the troops, she will carry sup
plies and ammunition for the navy.
An order was dispatched Saturday to
the Monterey to proceed to Manila to
reinforce Admiral Dewey's squadron.
The Monterey is probably the most
formidable monitor in the world. She
is described technically as barbette
turret, low freeboard monitor of 1000
tons displacement, and carries in two
turrets surrounded by barbettes two H.
inch and two l0-inch guns, while on
her superstructure between the turrets
are mounted six 6.pounders, four l.
Founders and two Gatlings.
SAN Francisco, May 23.-The Charles
ton is we'll on her way to Manila. The
big cruiser passed through the Golden
Gate at S:2O Sunday morning, after
having been anchored in the stream all
night. She adjusted her compasses at
an early hour and then passed up the
bay through the Raccoon straits and
past the docks OH the northern frontage
of the city. She was given an enthu-
siastic goodby by steam vessels and
soldiers.
The Pennsylvania troops are expected
to arrive TOMORROW. ~ ..

EXPOR rs AND IMPORTS.

The present year is phenomenal in re-
spect to our trade. During the ten
months ending with April we exported
more Of our own productions by $l24,-

period last year.
During the same time we imported
less foreign goods by sS9,0OS,05S than
we did for the corresponding period last
year.
The balance of trade last year was

THE FIGHTING AT cARDENAs.

A Cuban Arriving at Key West Thinks
Many Spaniards Were Killed.
KEY WEST, May 23.-Senor Ernesto
Castro, well.known lawyer, and presi.
dent of the revolutionary junta of Car
denas, arrived here yesterday ON the
United States gunboat Annapolis. Dur
ing the recent bombardment at Car.
denas Senor Castro was in the bay in a
small boat trying to reach the Ameri-
can vessels and get transportation to
the United States on an important mis-
sion. He was compelled to return to
the shore, where he saw and heard of
the results of the bombardment.
Senor Castro says an American shell
exploded in the very entrance to the
Spanish Casino, shattering the building
and setting it on filc, Other buildings
were wrecked. Some of the shots went
so far as the Triente sugar plantation,
two miles in the interior. The Spanish
loss of life, Senior Castro believes, to
have been very heavy.
After passing four days at Piedras
key Senor Castro signalled the United
States gunboat Wilmington and was
taken off. He says famine prevails
everywhere in Cuba. In Cardenas rice
is 20 cents a pound, condensed milk
sells ut Sl.5O per can and horse flesh
brings 20 cents a pound, There Is no
beef or bread.
The insurgents are in dire distress.
Formerly provisions We're smuggled
from the cities, but that relief is now
impossible since the cities themselves
are starving. The insurgents are trying
TO subsist on peppery wood and palm
huda.

"As for water, il distilled It for itself out
Of the sea. As Tor provisions for Its ere
of about half thousand men, 1t carried
a supply great enough for a voyage to
the other side of the earth and back
again.
"There was some talk Of the Spanish
fleets intercepting the battleship on its
great journey, but the Spanish suffered
10 such ill-luck. In that the Oregon
missed an opportunity which may yet
be made good if that Spanish feet can
ever pursuade itself to be found.
But it is one of the wonders of hu.
man achievement that so ponderous q
lighting machine can be made, also q
ship capable Of sailing half way round
the earth at a continuous speed equal tC
that of an ordinary merchant steamer
and arrive at its destination almost
exactly at the time foreordained."

From San Francisco, which port she
left on March %, has been attended
with success, for 81 days after, the
mighty ship reached Barbados, and
during the entire voyage OF II, 900 miles
met with no mishap. The route OF
course was around Cape Horn, going
through the torrid, temperate and into
the frigid zone. Not every man can
appreciate what this great voyage means
for 80 large vessel, having to stop for
coal four times. A sea faring man can
understand what it means for heavily
armed battleship of l0,2SS tons to
plough its way through the heavy seas
that rage about and assail Cape Horn.
The Oregon first stopped at Callao,
April 81, to take in supply of coal,
1000 miles on her way, which was ac-
complishedi in IA days, thus having made
good time. The big battleship left
Callao, April 7, and made the trip round
Cape Horn to Rio Janeiro, distance of
$500 miles by April 80, passing the
Doisterous Horn without a mishap.
After waiting four days at Rio the ship
got to Bahia May 8, and days later
was reported of Barbadoes
This voyage shows the sea worthiness
of the Oregon and science and skill in
navigation. Captain CLARK, his officers
and men evidently understand the art
and science OF navigation, and deserve
great credit for their successful trip. We
may judge somewhat from all this, OF
the great Improvement in ship building
when such monster ship can make so
long and dangerous voyage so success
fully.
An exchange thus concludes an article:

with Spain. Spanish civilization by
Buckle and American civilization
by President Eliot will here ap-
ply. Buckle says of Spain: "There
she lies, at the furthest extremi.
ty Of the continent, huge and torpid
mass, the sole representative now re.
naming of the feelings and knowledge
of the Middle Ages. And what is the
worst symptom of all, she is satisfied
with her own condition. Though she is
the most backward country in Europe,
she believes herself to be the foremost. F"
President Eliot finds that the glory Of
American civilization is found in her
"triumphs of reason, enterprise, courage,
faith and justice, over passion, selfish
ness, inertuess, timidity and distrust.
Beneath each one of these develop.
ments there lies shong ethical senti
ment, a strenuous moral and social pur.
pose. 1t is for such work that multi
tudinous democracies are ht." In this
brief statement President Eliot gives the
why and the wherefore of the war with
Spain.
The Maine outrage no doubt hastened
matters, but the American people have
long felt that Spanish misrule should
come to an end in Cuba. The sooner
the better. 1t is time we we're giving il
start in Cuba as Dewey has given it in
the PHILIPPINES.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from n mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from q mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl
Tradition says woman must suffer"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. II young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets 1t.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
r. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that I
had to leave school. Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. / was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. 1 was
very weak, ana lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. / followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as we'll as
ever was. l have gained flesh and have
q good color. 1 am completely cured o.
irregularity."
