FLORIDA IN WAR TIME.

In the sentiment which drives the Uni
ted States into war with Spain. Florida
enters with hand and heart. In that
pride which would rescue our good name
from peril, in the sympathy that grieves
for the woe OF our neighbor and the desire
to see Cuba free and prosperous. this State
yields to none Of her sisters, and will not
be surpassed by them in willing sacrifice
when the need arises.
But, with all this, the war, prospective
or actual, is not the main concern OF our
people today. and should not receive pri-
mary consideration. All Of us cannot
march or sail to victory, but those who
remain can play part as patriotic, as
noble, and as useful as our brothers who
breast the storm on Cuban fields or on
the rolling waves Of our Southern seas.
Foremost in power to serve their State
as they are first in place and honor, our
representatives in Washington must omit
no opportunity now to draw the moral Of
the conditions that confront us and lay
the most solid foundation in argument
and fact to secure national aid hereafter
for our harbors and to push forward the
! beginning OF the completion Of the Mica
raguan Canal. These two arco vital i'm
portance to Florlda's future, and the
| work must be done,
With the.grcat majority of our people
tho war will be no more than an Indian
outbreak In the West and our work OF
development need not be interrupted nor
our industry overshadowed. The tread
of the soldier will not disturb the labor o!

DOES THE MESSAGE MEAN WAR?
THE MEMBERS WHO SUPPORT THE ADMIN

TIES. AND OTHERS SAY CONGRESS

ISTRATION SAY 1T MEANS HOSTlii-
TIES, AND OTHERS SAY CONGRESS
WILL ACT INDEPENDENTLY.
Washington, April 1.-THE senators
and member who support the policy OF
the administration say that the message
means only one thing, war.
They suggest that the president only
wants time to see 10 the armistice Is sue
cessful. II 1t is declined by the insurgeu Is
then IL Is a failure and Spain must con-
tinue fighting.
The message is not well understood.
There is great conflict Of opinion over It,.
The conservative men see in II more than
was intended while the war crowd under
rate 1t.
The spirit with which the message was
received is well illustrated by the fact
that when the message was finished there
was no applause. Not one Republican
attempted to show any approval. Even
the galleries received the message In abb
solute silence, applaudng only once when
he declared that the war In Cuba must
stop. Summed up Mckinley asks for au-
thority to mediate.
The sentiment now is that congress will
not only give authority to intervene, but
to decide the immediate steps that the
executive is expected to take.

1.-THE ambassadors Of the same powers

Washington. In the interest Of peace and
as a matter OF form, but there was posi-
lively no expectation and no hope that
the United States would recede one inch

There Is reasons to believe the Powers
have made extraordinary terms to Spain.
| They said in effect that II she should
make such concessions to the United
States as they believe necessary, the
Powers OF Europe would guarantee her
against war external and internal and the
Powers would delegate to one of their
own number, Austria, whose throne is
closely allied TO that OF Spain by ties of
blood. the duty Of defending Spain against
any internal foes that might arise as a
menace to the dynasty, as result of
yielding to the demands Of the United
States.

A WAR THE PRIVATEER.

The childhood of the British navy was
nourishcd on the trade Of Spain. and the
defeat IT the Armada would have been
impossible but for the training given the
English sailors by the piratica voyag, $
OF Drake and Hawkins aud Brobshcr to
the Spanish main, and their former vlcto-
RIGS over the galleons on the Atlantic, the
Pacific. the Caribbean, and in port and
harbor everywhere. Strange would it he
IL the revival of our marine was due to
the same impulse.
For when the President releases his
hold on the iron coursers of the sea that
now fret at their reins, the same procla-
nation will start our privateers from ev-
cry harbor. or we are not what we were.
Before tliiS onset. like that ~ n cloud of
arrows from some repeating arralrst,
Spain's commerce must go down. In 1872
this was the weapon tina, told against
England. and the mistress of the seas
hastched to enlist all Europe in the at
tempt to deprive us oft.
For. in 1876. at the treaty Of Paris. she
induced France. Russia, Prussia. Austria

declaration that ''prlvatccring is and re-

pressed ground that IL was our most cf-

forty Other states OF Europe and South
America to sign with further obliga tion

and Spain as well as ourselves is still free
to grant letters of marquc. Today the

QUARANTINE CONVENTION.

Next Tuesday In Atlanta there will be
g quarantine convention to which invita-
lions have been issued to all cities on the
South Atlantic and Gulf scaboard.
The convention was decided on by the
Mobile convention, which met some time
ago to discuss quarantine matters gcner-
ally and especially the question of local
and State versus national quarantine.
While no decided action was taken the
resolutions adopttd were not favorable to
national quarantine.
The principal object Of the Atlanta con-
v"ntion Is to discuss local and State quar-
similarity IN the regulations to he en-
forced In case OF an endemic. In the mat
ter OF health certificates it Is expected
that q uniform certificate will be agreed
upon to be issued and accepted by all
cities entering into the arrangement
Much confusion was caused last summer
by the variety in the certificates used by
the different cities. the condition upon
which Il certificate could bc obtained dit

ship, in the northern part of this
county, late Tuesday night, killing
three men, six horses, IA cows, and de-
strOying number of barns and out
buildings. The details of the storm

pied condition of the telegraph and
telephone wires
When the storm struck Springfield
Centre, VIM. Bray, aged "a years, was
in his barn milking. The building
was one of the largest of the kind in
molished. Bray was instantly killed

moved over the streets in this city
Tuesday morning and attracted the
attention OF the thousands of visitors
and almost the entire population of
Cincinnati. The dense throng of hui
mainly along the line Of march was
tremendous, but the perfect police
work prevented any accident of a seri-

the Union Naval Veterans and the pa

The parade formed at Court street
and Central avenue, and promptly at
10 o'clock the order of march" was
given by Grand Marshal Morton l..
Hawkins The monster column started
on what proved to be one of the grand
est parades ever witnessed in Cincin-

boys in blue must have made their
hearts feel glad.

not particular as to their point of

DROWNED WHILE BATHING.
Son of Gen. Joseph Wheeler and Lieut.
kirkpatrick Swept To Death in
the Surf at Montauk.

CAMP WIKOFF, Montauk Point, L. L,
Sept. S.-Thomas H. Wheeler, son of
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, and Second
Lieut.. Newton D. Kirkpatrick 1st
cavalry, were probably drowned while
bathing here Wednesday afternoon.
Young Wheeler was a naval cadet in
his second year. He had been acting
on his fathers staff for some time
past. He was II years of age To-
gether with Lieut.. kirkpatrick he
went to the beach Wednesday af-
ternoon to enjoy the surf
bathing. The surf ran high
and the undertow was very
strong. Apparently no one saw
the young men drowned and it
was not until about 6 o'clock meal
time that they were missed. Their
clothes were found a short distance
fir om Gen. Wheeler's tent, close to the
water and it is believed certain that
the young officers were swept away by
the strong seas.
Wednesday night detail of 60 men
from the 1st cavalry was stationed
along the coast to watch for the bodies.
Of the accident Gen. Wheeler has
nothing to say. His three daughters,
two of whom have been acting as
nurses in the general hospital and the
other as nurse in the detention hos
pital. are with him, grief stricken.
