Owing to recent changes in freight
conditions, it is said that Chicago man
ufacturers are now in a position to
compete on even terms with New York
merchants for Mexican and Central
American trade. The all-rail freight
rates from Chicago to Mexican points
are only II cents higher than the rail-
and water rates from New York citv.
In view of possible troubles with Spain

Key West, June 1. - Everybody
knows that .Spain's flying squadron,
four splendid cruisers and two torpedo
boat destroyers, is imprisoned in San
tiago harbor. The fact has been known
here orty-eight hours, and the specu-
latlon now is over the probability of
disposing Of the Spaniards, whether
they will be blockaded or the forts re-
duced and the vessels compelled to
tight. In the latter case there can be
bus one result, for Commodore Schley
has some of the finest ships in the
world, to say nothing of cruisers and
various smaller vessels, and could in a
few days be reinforced by other pow
erful Warships. 1t would be foolhardi-
ness on the part of Cervera to offer
battle. An interesting story remains
TO be told of the reason which led
Cervera to Santiago and of the wav
III which he was hemmed in. It is
now known that when the Spanish ad.
mlral sailed for the West Indeas he
expected to enter San Juan de Puerto
RICO for coal and supplies. On touch
ing at Curacao for news
$751; His Plans Were Upset
by dispatches telling him that Rear
Admiral Sampson had bombarded the
San Juan Notifications and was still
in the neighborhood of Puerto Rico.
Ihereupon Cervera sailed for the south
coast OF Cuba. Why he entered San
tlago harbor instead Of the harbor Of
Clenfuegos is not known, but the
american commanders were inclined
to think the Spaniards would go to the
latter place. It is certain that Ceryera
could not have escaped from Santiago
without having been discovered, for
the American scouts had been prowl-
ing about the port for ten days, and
other scouts had not been far away.
Ihe belief here is that all other move
ments in the West Indies will be held
IN allegiance until the Spanish SQUAD
ron is disposed of.
Kingston, Jamaica, June 1. -. Com
modore Schley's squadron is doggedly
patrolling the waters off Santiago de
Cuba, waiting to strike the Spanish
heet, which Americans confidently be-
ieve is lying under the protection of
the harbor batteries. The American
squadron consists of the armored
cruiser Brooklyn, Schley's flagship:
the battleships Massachusetts,, Texas
and Iowa, the protected cruiser Min
neapolls, the unarmored cruiser Mar
blehead, the the auxiliary cruiser St..
Paul, Harvard and Yale, the gunboat
/; Vixen and one collier.

America" says Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps in plea for peace, ''has not
acted the part of gentlemanly ma
tion.'' George William Curtis used
to tell of a man of his own character
who attended a caucus in his own
ward. The boys treated him as an
interloper, and he went out Of doors
in few minutes with a smashed hat.
He had persisted in being a gentle
man and the boys wouldn't have it.
General Woodford tried the same
method and the dons laughed at him.
It is sad, but 1t is necessary when tn
Rome to do as Romans do.

The United States board on geo.
graphical names is the official authori-
ty in this country for the spelling of
the names of cities, countries, rivers
and all other parts on the earth's sur
face marked on the maps. The deci-
sions rendered by this board find their
way sooner or later into all, or nearly
all, American publications. Owing
however, to the slow changes which
are peculiar to works of reference, the
public's first knowledge of the revised
spellings decreed by the United States
government for use in it's publications
comes from those newspapers which
accept the government as authority
without waiting for new editions of
gazeteers and maps to reflect the de-
cisions of the board.

1t is good time for patriotic Ameri-
cans to keep their wits about them and
not to overrate the magnitude of
events that are passing and will soon
be past. The clouds gather and de-
part, the vast armament remains. The
republic is here to stay, and the pres
ent generation is here to guard it and
transmit it unimpaired. The present
episode will have it's own place in our
history. Perhaps it will help US to
measure more justly the forces of good
and evil that are active in the nation.
and it may thus serve as a search
light to reveal the defects of our in
telligence and our virtue.
