WASHINGTON LETTER.
From onr Regular Corresp dent. }


"All quiet along the POtOmac.'
Several days ago it seemed likely
that the fool letter written by
Senior de LONE, late Spanish Mln
lister at Washington, in which he
insulted the President and said
that Cuban autonomy and the
negOtiatisns with this government
for a reciprocity, were Spanish
tricks, would make an entirely
different beginning necessary for

Valentines Day, but the black
guard Minister got his resignation
accepted 10y his government before
this government got in its request
for his recall, and now all depends
upon what Spain will say as 10
how tie matter will end. Congress
as a whole has been like keg OF
powder, aud had the President
desired, he could, with but word,
have furni.hed the spark that would
have brought about an explosion.

A RUMORED DISASTER
Forty Mem On Alaska Steamer
Clara Nevada Reported To
Have Perished.

Seattle, Wash, F~O. A. The
following private dispatch Nas
received today from a well known
business man coming south from
Alaska;
The steamer Clara Nevada Is
reported lost. II is stated that she
went down near SArward City
while on hrT return trip from
Skaguay, AMI that all on board are
lost. Persons on the shore heard

Seattle, was burned in Lynn canal

the Islander, which arrived from

of the canal, aud tue opinion is
general thai it was from burning

met death, as there has been a
terrible wind and snowstOrm in
the North and small boats could
hardly live on the water.
The above news created some
upeasiness here, as Mr.. George
Moore, son of Rev. Geo. Moore, OF
this place expected to sail, or had
sailed on the Clara Nevada. As
the accident occurred while the
boat was returning from Skaguay,
it IS probable that Mr.. Moore is
safe, at that place. lItor.

The readers of the HERALD We
have evOry reason to believe, are
fully aware that the HERALD Is not
a paper that will endorse the actions
Of any party, right or wrong. On
the contrary, it has the courage TO
endorse the acts of any party which
it believes to be right and to con-
denim the doctrines of any party
that it believes to be wrong. 1t
could not be convinced that, because
the Chicago convention endorsed a
policy which prominent Shenandoah
Democrats and a Shenandoah Demo
cratic Convention, very properly
as we thought, denounced as "a
craze" and "a vain delusiOn and a
snare" it became our duty to hus
"the deluslon" to our bosom and
tell the people that we had been
altogether wrong and that our
opinions as heretofore expressed
were all at fault and that the free
coinage Of silver at 16 to l was
actually one of the fundamental
principles Of democracy and
that we. would have known it
sooner but our vision had been
obscured by a dark cloud of igno-
rance, but that we had since been
brought from darkness to light by
the talismanic influence Of the pop.
ulists; and that We were now ready
TO face the entire world, and ack'
nowledge our former blindness and
ignorance and with stenfOrian
tones TO proclaim the self evident
truth that the free coinage ofsilver
at 16 to l was one of the fundamen-
tai principles OF democracy;that all
who we've unwilling to abandon the
doctrines Of Jefferson and jackson,
and Tilden and Cleveland and the
other lights of democracy, who were
entirely ignorant Of this fundamen-
tai principle, because their eyes had
not been illuminated with new
light resulting from a combination
of populists, democrats, and free
silver republicans, were deserters
and scalawags and no longer to be
permitted to enter into the camp
Of the modern enlightened democ
racy.
From all such doctrines, deliver
us.
Democracy, as it cxisted prior to
1896, is to be entirely abandoned
and that old party is to date its
fundamental principles from the
Chicago convention! Old demo
Gratis do not easily swallow such
nonsense.
They believe in tariff for
revenue only, the old democratic
doctrine, and have no patience
with tariff reform, a doc
trine patched up at the Chicago
convention to please free silver
republicans.
We do not expect all our readers
to endorse our opinions. We have
our own views upon political sub
jects and we have the highest re
gard for men who are honest in
their opinions, even if they do no.
coincide with those expressed by US.
We will be quick to abandon ouI
political opinions, when we are con
WINGED that they are wrong; but
we do not propose to trade them of
in order to be in political accord
with any clique or party.

Washington, June 20.-There was 8 wholesale christening at the navy de partment today when Secretary Long supplied names for no less than thirty five war craft. All of these were pro vided for in the last naval appropria- ton bill and while the contracts for their construction have not yet been let, advertisements have been issued except in the case of the monitors, and all the boats will be under way before cold weather.
 The first in the list Of big battle ships is the Maine, for congress has provided that that name shall be con- tinued on the naval list. The other big battleships will be called the Mis- souri and the Ohio. The first of the torpedo boats bears the name of En- sign Bagley. Four states have the privilege of giving their. names to monitors, Arkansas, Connecticut, Flor ida and Wyoming. The names given to the sixteen torpedo boat destroyers are those of Americas famous naval heroes.

Said Spaniard who was in the

Said Spaniard who was in the
fight at Santiago and was afterwards
captured by the Cubans:
''The Americans did not fight as
other soldiers. When we fred vol
ley they advanced, instead of going
back. The more we fired the nearer
they came to US. We are not used to
fighting with men who act So"
A rule of warfare prescribes that
when an attacking column loses as
much rs one tenth of its men from the
enemy's fire, it should retreat. Our
boys down there didn't pay much at
tention to his time honored rule, but
went ahead all the faster as the men
dropped around them. Capt. Caprop,
of the Rough Riders, who was killed
in one of those fearful charges, was in
structor in field tactics on board one Of
the transports on the way to Cuba. In
talking about the awful effect of the
small bore, long range, fiat trajectory
rifles, he said:
"The only way to get out of the way
of the storm of bullets is to fight
through it and make the enemy quit
shooting"
The gallant captain was willing sa-
crifice to his own rules, but the results
proved that he was right.

Meet for a certain little friend of mine;
And, Dorothy. know where daisies are
That only wait small hands to tntertwine

The thought that thou art coming makes all

The house is bright with blossoms high and

And many a little lass and little lad
Expectantly are running to and fro;
The fire within our hearts is all aglow.
We want thee, child, to share in our delight
On this high day, the hottest and best,
Because twas then, ere youth had taken

Thy grandmamma, of women loveliest,
Made me of men most honored and most

That naughty boy who led thee to suppose
He was your sweetheart has, grive to tell,
Been seen to pick the gardens choicest rose
And toddle with it to another belle,
Who does not treat him altogether we'll.
But mind not that, or let it teach thee this
To waste no love on any youthful rover
