THE reports from Madrid and London
leave no doubt whatever that there has
been a tremendous naval battle fought
off the coast of Manila. Such dis
patches as reach us now come through
Spanish sources and must necessarily be
tinged by the medium through which
they pass. These dispatches notwith-
standing they are as favorable as pos
sible to Spain contain written between
the lines a story Of serious Spanish
losses and Il decisive American victory
Had there been the slightest grounds
on which to claim q victory the donS
would certainly have proclaimed it
loudly to the world Had these been
the facts the reports emnating from
Madrid and published in the morning
papers would have been tale OF dire
disaster to American arms. In place
of this, however, we are in receipt Of
dispatches Of q very moderate nature
as concerns American loss and though
the account Of Spanish losses are COPIED
in equally moderate terms it tells OF
two of the best ships of the Spanish
navy destroyed and hints of many
others disabled. In fact the only de-
ductiou which the United States can
draw from the stinted, Spain tinged
details of war at hand is that Commo-
dore Dewey, with his Asiatic squadron
of SIX ships has practically wiped
SPANS Asiatic forces off the sea and
holds Manila at his mercy. This is the
state of affairs that official reports will
in all probability state. These will
presumably come from Hong Kong and
will I CHI this country in about two
days a will require about that time
for despatcF oat to carry the news
from Mani 90 Hong Kong.
Should the official report, is ex-
pected, relate a decisive victory for the
American vessels, it will potend a
speedy end to the war. With the SUI
premacy of our arms completely estab-
lishedin the Pacific, our naval superior
ity entirely proved, the Philippine
Islands at the mercy of the combined
forces of the insurgents and Dewey's
guns and Havana under effectual
blockade is it scarcely probable that
Spain, with all her foolishness will
have the temerity to continue war
which is already lost and which if car
RED further can only result in great
expense and the forfeiture of all her
foreign possessions.

will PLY Between Kenosha and Chi
cago.
W. A. Fletcher, general agent of the
Burke Transit company, was in this
city few days ago and as result of
his visit it has been decided by the
company to place the steamer t. S.
Faxon in service between Kenosha and
Chicago about the Goth of May. The
new steamship line will run a connec-
ton between nearly all the ports
around the lake. The FaXOn, which
will be used for this port, is one of the
best known vessels on the lake and is
100 feet long with capacity Of 500
passengers and 200 tons of freight.
The new line will pay special attention
to passenger service. One trip will be
made each day and night and the
steamer Faxon will connect with all the
great transportation lines around the
lakes

MAY BE TULLEY.
Unknown Man Answering His Description
Found in Chicago River.

Found in Chicago River.
A story was in circulation about the
city this afternoon that the body OF
William l. Tulley, the missing sewing
machine agent, has been dshed out of
the Chicago river near Lincoln Park.
There is positively nothing to substan-
tiate the story except that the detec-
tives who were searching the city for
Tulley say that the man found tallies
to the description of the sewing ma
chine agent.
The report which was received by
telephone has created considerable
excitement among the friends of the
missing man and several will go to Chi
cago this evening to view the body
taken from the river this morning.
The report did not say whether the
man had committed suicide or had met
with foul play.
Tulley's friends say that it was i'm
probable that he should seek to take
his own life, and many of them refuse
to give any credence to the story. 1t
has now been eleven days since Tulley
left home and not a single word has
been heard from him. During this
time the Knights of Pythias have con-
Quoted a systematic search OF Chicago
without finding the least trace OF him.

Proposes to Make the Annual Reunion of
Old Settlers society a Big One.
President a. P. Dutton, of the Ra-
cine County Old Settlers society, pro-
poses to make the annual reunion Of
the society one of the largest in the
history of the county if possible. The

place is June Is, and the place Skews'
beautiful grove just south of the city.
Able speakers have been engaged for
the occasion, and Mr.. Dution states
that he will reproduce the address of
Hon. Charles E. Dyer made in 1871,
without change or taking any away
from it. He will haze printed 1000
copies and distribute them among the
old settlers. Just who will deliver the
annual address this year has not been
decided, but the president assures the
Journal that it will be a good man.

THE BLOOMER PARTY.
The Rathbone Sisters Score a Great So
cial Success.

A few days ago the Rathbone Sisters
sent out invitations for a Bloomer
party, to which was added the unique
suggestion that during the evening the
young ladies would give a bloomer
drill.
Now there is something about that
word boomers" that has o peculiar
power to draw the sterner sex and
Tuesday night every Sir Knight that
could walk or be carried reported at
Castle Hall. Bald heads who hadn't
attended a dance for years turned out
to see the unique feature, "the Bloomer
drill" But the young ladies fooled
them and that good and proper. They
did appear in boomers, but the bloom
er8 were nothing more or less than tue
the most beautiful flowers that the
florists IF the city could supply. The
BlOOmer drill. which was devised by
Miss Susie Rowe, was very beautiful
and showed that the war spirit was
we'll founded in the iyoung ladies and
they performed military movements
with ease and promptness which would
have honored military company Of
years standing.
The young men present say that
while they were disappointed, the
party was the most enjoyable ever
given at Castle Hall. Dancing was the
program for the evening and Stemm's
full orchestra furnished the music. A
feature OF the evening was the May
pole dance by the children. The
beautiful decorations of smilax and
palms which the ladies had placed
around the rooms made the bail look
exceedingly pretty and added much to
the pleasure of the evening. Supper
was served st midnight by the ladies.
About one hundred couples were in
attendance, many being from Racine,
Waukegan and Chicago.

SOLDIERS ON PARADE.
Kenosha Volunteers Have Their First
Lesson Sunday

Lesson Sunday.
The Kenosha volunteers had their
first lesson in the school of war fare on
Sunday afternoon and while the clouds
were sitting down;a light rain the boys
marched forth from their barracks to
the martial music1of the drum and
while they didn't look very soldier like
it was very evident that there was some
fighting blood in them by the way they
marched out, with the rain making it
as uncomfortableIas possible for them.
In front of the column of seventy-fve
men marched Lieutenant Washbish,
carrying the flag. The company pro-
ceeded at once to Central Music Hall,
where they were drilled in the school
of the soldier, and those who witnessed
the drill say they did exceedingly well
for raw recruits and that few weeks
drill will put them in excellent condi-
ton for service.
The make up of the company is Pc
culiar and marching under the one flag
can be found the representatives of
almost every nation except Spain.
Capt. Miller and his two Lieutenants
have been reinforced by the addition of
Lieutenant Marden, who is very well
up in the tactics now in use by the
standing army. The volunteers will
probably be asked to drill at least
twice a week.

UNDERSTANDING that it does not
require q Spanish victory but merely
an exhibition of Spanish courage and
willingness to fight to satisfactorily
establish the traditional honor of Spain
the powers of Europe will very likely
now, again, use their good offices to
secure peace and make an end to hos
tilities. Spanish honor demanded that
Spain fight. Well, they have had the
opportunity; have fought and although
disastrously defeated are satisfied with
their exposition of dauntless courage
and convinced that they struggled most
honorably against fate and insurmount-
able odds. Consequently the Spanish
honor is safe and with the prime reason
for the war, from their standpoint, re-
moved the friendly European powers
will no doubt renew their effort to es-
tablish peace. We're Spain as sensible
as she thinks she is honorable she
would accept their advice and save
herself further loss and discontinue.

LEST WE FORGET.

God of our fathers. known of old
Lord of our far-hung battle line
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget
The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains and the kings depart!
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts. be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
Far-called, our navies melt away
On dune and headland sinks the fire
10, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineyeh and Tyre
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget.
Ifdrunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not thee in awe
Such boasting!as the gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the law
Lord God of Hosts. be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lestawe forget
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard--
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And, guarding, calls not thee to guard
For frantic boast, and foolish word,
Thy mercy on thy people, Lord. Amen.

Saxon league, offensive and defensive.
We may not need England's aid to free
Cuba. England may need us to main

ternational policy. But each needs the
other in order to fulfill our mission to
the world. Of one speech, one blood,
one religion and one purpose of gov

little differences and ancient wrongs,

of larger, broader humanity, as ex-

obtaining $12 from the conductor and two
watches and several pocketbooks and con-

Miss Maggie Enright of Argentine.
Miss Orpha Compton of Argentine.
The bridge which crosses the Kaw river
between Argentine and Armourdale is 10
Gated in lonely part of the country, with
nearest being fully two blocks away. This
is an ideal spot for a successful hOld-up,
as the Santa Fe tracks run beneath the
south end of the bridge and it is an easy
matter for robbers to make good their
a-LOup and thence to the city
As the car approached the south end of
the bridge last night the robbers tagged
it. Two tall men wearing slouched hats
drawn over their eyes mounted the rear
platform after the motOrman had opened
the gate. one robber rushed to the front
end and covered the mOtorman with re-
VOlVer, while the second masked man
deTed the conductor and two passengers
from the rear platform into the car. The
third man, who is described being
slightly below medium height, light COM
plexiOn and light muStache, unmaSked,
went through the car and removed such
money and valuables as he found on the
passengers.
During all the time the short man was
going through the pockets of passengers
the two masked men menaced everybody
in the by flOuriShing their revOlVerS
and kept up a string of vile threats and
abuse.
Conductor Shurlay was fortunate in
cOncealing his watch, but was relieved Of
his money. and the passengers parted COM
pany with their rings and pOcketbooks.
When the short man had finished,
which required almost five minutes. he
reported to his chief at the front end of
the car that he had all of de swag." See
ing a car approaching from the opposite
direction the robbers made haste to leave
the car, going down the bank of the river
toward The railroad track. They ran
down the Santa Fe track to TOad-a-LOup.
The car coming in the opposite direc-
ton was stopped and the conductor told
of the hold-up, which he reported to No
police station. The robbed car proceed
on its way to the south end of the line
The headquarters of the Metropolitan
company was at once notified, and in turn
all the SubStatiOnS.

NOTORIOUS ROGUE CAUGHT.
Charles Wilson of the Stafheback
Gang, Caught at Columbus.

Columbus, March 28.-Charles Wilson,
the last of the notorious Staff1eback
gang, was captured at Billings, on the
Frisco railroad, Saturday. and taken by
Sheriff Sparks to the Jail here. Will
son is wanted for murder and several
other crimes. He was the last husband
of old Nancy Staffieback, the head of
the Staff1eback family of cutthroats
and robbers who kept a dive of infamy
and crime in Galena, Kan.
Many persons had mySteriOusly dis
appeared from Galena, leaving no clue
behind them. Among these was Frank
Galbreath, a mining man. Two weeks
after Galbreath's disappearance, last
July, his body was seen floating in an
old abandoned mining shaft, near the
roadside, about 200 yards from the Stat
fieback house. Pending an investiga-
ton Charles Wilson left for parts un-
known. Suspicion pointed to the Staf-
fieback family and old Mrs. Staff1e back
and two of her sons were arrested. At
the trial, Cora Staff1eback and other in
mates of the house told the most hor-
rible stories of how the Staf1ebacks
had murdered and robbed people and
thrown their bodies into the mining
shafts. They were convicted of Gal
breath's murder and sent to the peni-
tentiary for life. Wilson is implicated
in this murder. GaIbreath had been
enticed to the house by Mrs. Staff1e-
backs daughter at 2 o'clock at night
was attacked by Wilson and the Staf-
f1ebacks. He was shot several times
and then his throat was cut. His
body was then robbed and thrown into
the old shaft.
