an order requiring employees of the

IAN WV.
Shawneetown, Illinois, was once the
home of some of Lexington's former citl-
zens. One of the greatest food disasters
In our history, the destruction of Shaw
neetown, Illinois, has brought out many
interesting reminiscen noes of old times
there, when 1t was headquarters for the
hat boat trade at the time Lincoln was a
Hat boatman. Two of Lexington's old
citizens were natives or residents of the
town. The late VIM. Limrick, once
cashier OF the Bank Of the State OF Mis-
souri, here; the late John McFadin, ESQ.,,
and Mrs. Mary Street Wilson, wife of the
late Capt. George Wilson. Her father,
Joseph Montfort Street, had moved there
after he was broker up and nearly assassi-
mated by the friends of Aaron Burr. in
Kentucky, where he had bitterly assailed
Burr in his newspaper at Frankfort, THE
Western World" While Mr., Street was
living at Shawneetown his fa~ther-in-law,
Governor Posey, of Indiana, came down
the Wabash on a flat-boat, on an official
expedition; and the weather being wet,
cold and stormy, and there being no
shelter on the boat, he caught cold, and
died in a few days after reaching Shaw
neetown, at the house of his son-in-Iaw.
The southwestern county of Indiana,
whose county seat, Mt. Vernon, was the
first to send help to Shawneetown in the
Hood, is named for Gov. Posey. One of
the old songs of the fat boatmeu had a
verse that ran thus:
lizard pr the beach oar, she moves too
slow;
All the way to Shawneetown a long time
ago."
Governor Posey's remains were buried
at Shawneetown, and it is feared that the
food may ave obliterated all traces of
the last resting place OF that patriot soldier
of the revolution.

MADRID, April 7.-Spain's laconic
minister for war, General Correa, has
at last broken his silence. In an inter
view the general has given an interest
ing ccoun of the situation, saying:
"War is the better of two evils. 1t
is better to fight foreigners than to
fight Spaniards rising in indignation if
their rights are trampled under foot"
The excitement in Spain has reached
the boiling point, but there are no
demonstl atoms recorded anywhere yet.
All the steamship firms of Valencia
save offered all their vessels as priva-
teers, and a number of ship captains
nave called upon the naval commander
at Barcelona, asking for letters OF
marque. Similar requests have been
received from abroad, especially from
France.
The guards around the United States
legation were trebled today. General
Woodford was at his desk at an early
hour, and many Americans called to
ask about arrangements made for their
protection. The general said he would
remain here until directed to apply for
his passports or until they are handed
to him. He added that when he leaYes
the British flag will be hoisted over the
United States legation.
In spite of The alarming situation and
the general belief that the end is about
reached, several of the diplomats still
hope for peace. The city thus far is
perfectly quiet.
