Friday evening Port Cabanas, on the
north coast of Cuba, was fired upon by
the cruiser New York. The Spanish
guns were quickly silenced.
on Saturday morning the American
line steamer Paris (rechristened the
Yale) arrived at New York, and was
received with widest enthusiasm.
There had been great fears that she
would be captured by a Spanish war
ship and her escape was made the oc-
casion of a spontaneous patriotic dem
Onstration.
Sunday night came the news of
signal victory for Admiral Dewey's
fleet over the Spaniards at Manila. Two
of the principal Spanish cruisers were
destroyed by fire and others sunk to
prevent their being captured. The
news came from Madrid, where it was
officially announced that the "Ameri-
can fleet retreated." Spanish officials
extolled the valor of the Spanish fleet.
The dispatches of Monday added
nothing to the news of Commodore
Deweys victory in Manila. 1t develop
ed that the cable from Manila had been
cut and no news could be expected, be-
yond the Spanish admission of defeat.
until the victorious American had sent
a report via Hong Kong. In Washing
ton it is feared that Commodore Dewey
will be greatly embarrassed in garri-
soning the islands in the event of their
capture owing to the fact that his
forces are probably greatly decimated,
though he will doubtless combine with
the insurgents and delegate garrison
duty to them.

RIOTING IN SPAIN.
Mob Captures Town officials and
Demand Ransom.
HOLDERS FIRE ON THE RIOTERS.

Fisherwomen and Tobacco Girls Burn
Storehouses and Offices-Mob stones
the Civic uard-Resignation of the
Queen Regent Seriously Considered.
Madrid, May 5.-The outbreaks in
the provinces are assuming alarming
proportions. This is especially the case
in the province of Gijon, on the bay of
Biscay where the troops have been
compelled to fire on the rioters "in self
defense" The latest news from Jigon
is that the artillery has been ordered
out. At Talavera de la Royna one of
the Jesuit religious houses has been
burned. 1t is asserted here that the
riots arise from hunger rather than
from political motives
Everywhere the dissatisfaction is
growing, especially over the price of
bread Acts against authority are be-
coming more and more overt. At
Caceres, capital of Estre Madura, the
populace marched into the railway
station to prevent the export of pro-
visions and oVerpowered the soldiers
The fisherwomen who broke out
against the octori dues at Giion re-
ceived the most determined assistance
sacked several bakeries and burned all
the octroi offices, with all the papers
belonging to the foreign ships loading
in the harbor The civic guard was
stoned at the prison and the mob
marched off with the iron bars of the
Jail. When the troops appeared they
were hotly stoned replying with fire
and wounded many. The mob then at
tor ha hull nd
smashed the windows. The troops
again fired, this time from the bal
comics, and wounded many, but the
women kept throwing stones.
At Catalan the rioters captured the
mayor and town councillors and de-
manded a ransom. On the mayor pro-
testing he was shot through the leg,
after which the gendarmes dispersed
the mob.
In the town of Aguilas, province of
Murcia. a mob mostly composed of
women burned the storehouses and
offices.
1t is reported that the Republican
and Carlist emissaries are endeavoring
to incite mutinies in the garrison there
Several agitators have been arrested.
The idea of the resignation of the
being seriously considered by the
members of the imperial family of
Austria with a view of averting an
nti-dynastic movement and saving
the throne. An exchange of ideas on
the subject is going on between the
queen regent and her Austrian family
but it's most influential members are
decidedly opposed
Those who are best informed as to
the government service allege that if
the Spanish arms suffer another re-
verse like that at Cavite the govern
ment would informally request the
great powers to lend their services to
arrange the best possible terms of
peace.
The government would be content to
cede Cuba to the United States. but
would not pay indemnity, because un-
able. Those well informed regard the
war as practically terminated, and
that toward the end of May it will be-
come history. What will follow, how
ever it is difficult to foresee. All the
elements of a long civil war in Spain
are unfortunately becoming visible.

The ordinances Of the Town of
Martinsburg" are finally printed.
The work was done at the Democrat
office and cost the city round 5000
more than the Herald's bid. This is
a fair sample of the manner in which
the present council has legislated for
the city. Voters can use it as an eye
opener. One would suppose that the
change which is coming can come
none too soon.

The same thing was said last year.
Business was manifested in the ordi-

cost the town $50 more than the
Herald's bid, and had it been done
according to specifications, would
have cost $40 less than it did That
is business" which the Statesman
will not deny. Briefly put, it was a
swindle.

GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE
Is not Under Civil Service Law, the
Attorney Generals Holds.

The long controversy as to whether
the Government Printing Office is
properly under the classified service
will be speedy settled, and the YER
dict from the Department of Justice
will be that it is not An opinion,
carefully drawn at the department, is
now in the hands of the Attorney
General, and will be promulgated by
him within a short time.
1t is a very elaborate document, and
at great length demonstrates that the
Government Printing Office is a part
OF the Legislative branch of the gov
ernment, and therefore not within the
civil service. The result will be, as
many authorities have contended, that
the employees of the Government
Printing Office have been illegally
placed in the classified service, and
the Public Printer will be free to APP.
point men of his own choice to the
positions there.
The opinion also touches another
important point. 1t holds that labor
ers cannot be legally placed under the
classified service. This will be far
reaching, extending not only to the
Government Printing Office, but to
laborers in the departments and in
many government buildings through
out the country. All in all the opin-
ion will effect the greatest change in
the civil service that has occurred dur
ing the present administration.

1t seldom falls to the lot of man to
have a vindication of his position
come with such electrical rapidity as
has been demonstrated in the case of
Senator Elkins. He opposed the
recognition of the alleged Cuban re-
public; demanded that Spain should
be chased across the Atlantic; that
we should take possession of Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines, and
force an honorable peace, getting full
indemnity for the dastardly destruc.
ton of the Maine and compensation
for all our losses. AS the resolutions
adopted by Congress-the act OF Pop
Gratis and few recalcitrant Repnbli-
cans-really pledged their country,
when Spain is conquered, to give up
all for which we have fought or else
stultify ourselves in the eyes of the
world. Had his ideas been adopted,
we could have sold the Philippines
to Japan or Great Britain, an
nexed Cuba and Porto Rico, or made
such disposition of them as we saw
proper and settled at once and tor
all timea matter that bids fair to
annoy us for years. The President
knew what he wanted and Senator
Elkins made an earnest effort
to have his wishes embodied in
the resolutions, but he was overruled.
Time is already telling who was
right. The plan of campaign, as
adopted, embodies Senator Elkins'
ides. The Philippines are ours.
Porto Rico will soon be added. The
action taken and to be taken, is a
war measure, pure and simple.
Later Cuba will be occupied aud pac-
flied and we will be masters Of the
situation in spite Of iall opposition,
at home and abroad.
