REc0NcILED TO EARTH.
An ENsy-Going Individual Who Had
No Desire to visit the Planet
Jupiter.

"What did you say those areY" inquired
the man with the old-fashioned derby hal
who had paused to patronize the curb-stonC
astronomer.
"Those are the moons of Jupiter" replied
the proprietor of the telescope
Let me see. Jupiter--that's one OF the
planets"
"Assuredly,"
"Wel, there's great deal to complain Of
on this earth, but z might be worse, WITH
all the drawbacks, Pm glad live here in
stead Of on Jupiter"
"Of course; you have no assurance that
the conditions there would be adapted Ia
your kind of life
at isn't that. I'm one of the sort Of
people who can bunk down anywhere and
be comfortable with a piece of hard tack
and cup of coffee There's only one thing
that gives me the blues, and that's seeing
the new moon over my left shoulder It's
bad enough on this earth having to be on
the lookout for one moon every four weeks
but if lived on a planet where there were
four Of them / never would know where
stood. 1t all goes to show that no matter
how bad things are they might be worse. -

GERMANY CLOSELY WATCHED
Administration Much Exercised over the
Situation at Manlla--Belier That EN-
gland VIII Co Operate with Dewey.

WASHINGTON, July Lit can be
stated ON the authority of a cabinet
minister that the administration is
more anxious and uneasy about
Dewey's situation at Manila than
about any other feature of the war.
Germany's attitude is arousing suspi-
cion in government circles here and
while her assurances of friendlincss
and neutrality have to be accepted by
the state department. the president
and cabinet are exceedingly anxious
to hear of the arrival Of
the Charleston and the first de-
tachment of American troops at Ma
Mia. In the meantime they are rely
ing on the hope, possibly the assur-
ance, that If anything should occur to
induce Germany to land troops or COM
NIT any other overt act, the British
ships in Manila harbor will checkmate
the move by cooperating with Dewey.

Who VIII Take Squadron to spain.)


command. The ships named are as
follows: Flagship Newark, battle
ships Iowa and Oregon, cruisers Yo-
semitic, Yankee and Dixie and the col
liers Scandal, Abarenda and Alexander.
The determination to send this
squadron against Spain was the out
come of direct official advices reaching
the state and navy departments as to
the progress of Admiral Camara's
squadron. The squadron is the most
formidable Spain has ahoat, in total
tonnage, strength of individual ships,
armor and guns.
The three vessels selected as GOLFERS
have started already on their way to
Newport News to take on large sup
ply of coal. 1t will require nearly a
week to get them down to SIMPSONS
feet, so that, if the start is to be made
from that point, it will be impossible
for Commodore Watson to get away
before the Fourth of July. This would
seem to be an suspicious date for the
beginning of an expedition that will,
for the first time in the worlds his
tory, start from the New World to at
tack continental Europe.
No attempt is made to deny that the
government is influenced in ordering
this movement by desire to check
the progress eastward of the Cadiz
fleet. 1t was not believed that the
Spanish admiral could he guilty of the
folly of uncovering his own home
ports in this fashion, but inasmuch
as he seems determined to do So the
naval strategists could not do less than
take advantage of the magnificent OPP
portunity thus afforded to strike a
crushing blow at Spain and thereby,
perhaps, save much time and loss of
life and money in the conduct of the
tedious campaign in Cuba.
When the American fleet sails for
Spain it will take with it complete i'm
formation as to the entire stretch of
Spanish coast, with detail maps of
every harbor and it's Notifications The
war board had mass of this infor-
nation before it, and spent part of the
day studying Spanish charts and for
tifications with view TO outlining the
series of blows which are to be de-
livered to Spain at home.
There is no intention of weakening
the Havana blockade by the with
drawal of Commodore Watson with
his flagship. To prevent this Secre-
tary Long has ordered Commodore
Howell to proceed Immediately to the
American feet off Havana to take
command of the post vacated by Com
modore Watson. Commodore Howell
is at present in command of the coast
patrol feet, and he will take the en-
tire fleet with him, that is, all of the
larger vessels to reinforce the block
ade.o the Cuban countries. He is al
ready on his way south from the New
England coast and should reach Gu
ban waters by the end of the week.

BLOCKS HIS PROGRESS.
Camara to Coal His Ships at Port said
WHITTIER Is His Destination?

New YORK, June 9s.-A dispatch to
the New York Tribune from Cairo,
Egypt, says; Admiral Camara has
asked to be allowed to purchase 5000
tons of coal for the Spanish fleet at
Port Said, but the Egyptian govern
ment refuses to permit the ships to
coal in Egyptian waters. Pending de-
alterations, which are likely to last a
long time, the fleet intends to remain
at Port Said. A dispatch from Port
Said, Egypt, says: Admiral Camara
has made extensive arrangements for
coaling his ships in the Red sea and
Indian ocean. Trustworthy Informal
tion leads to the belief that the true
objective point of Camara's fleet is not
Manila, but Hawaii and finally San
Francisco.
