BISMARCK CONDEMNS.
Relapse Causes Him to Become
Gloomy and Morose.

Gloomy and Morose.
copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press }
Friederichsruhe, May 19-The cool
and rainy weather has increased Prince
Bismarck's neuralgia and aggravated
the swelling of his legs. A correspond
ent of the Associated Press from mem
bers of the family has been able to OBJ
tain the views of the former Chancellor
on the war and the suggested Anglo
Saxon alliance, as expressed by the
prince during his most recent talk at
the table. In substance they are as
follows:
Prince Bismarck condemns the war
outright He says it is due to sys-
tematic American provOcation, which
finally became unbearable. He added:
''The whole course of the Washington
administration has been insincere. My
views of war are we'll understood. L
have always held that it is only defen-
sible after all other remedies have fa1l-
ed. The result of the war can not be
wholesome either to America or Eur
ope. The United States will be forced to
an intermeddling policy, leading to un-
avoidable frictiOns. She thus abandons
her traditional peace policy, and, In
order to maintain her pOsition,Sh must
become a military and a naval power
an expensive luxury which her geo.
graphic position rendered unnecessary
Americas change of front means re-
zation. This is the main regretable
fact about the war"
Regarding the speech made on Friday
last by Joseph Chamberlain, the Brit
ish secretary of state for the colonies,
at birmingham, Prince Bismarck said:
1.-THE Importance thereof depends up
on whether Mr.. Chamberlain's private
opinions are those of the British gov
ernment. Closer Anglo-American re-
lations are doubtless feasible, but an
alliance is improbable and unservicea-
bic to both.
Besides, it is a mistake to call the
Americans Saxons. Theirs is a mixed
blood, British, Irish, German, French
and Scandinavian. The Anglo-Saxon
does not even predominant today. This
dwelling on so-called race interests is
nonsense in politics. Look at the
RussO-F'rench agreement and the Drie-
bund. Politics are not dictated by such
far-fetched sentimenta1ities.
"Germany's duty, plainly, is to main
tain her interests by carefully nursing
the good neighborship of the European
nations"

SAN JUAN IN TERROR.
Refugees Flee - Sampson Caused
Much Damage.

st. Thomas, Danish West Indies, May
19.-Over 80 Porto Rican refugees, most
ly women, with very little money, have
arrived here on board the French
steamer Rodriguez.
1t is reported that the governor gen.
eral of Porto Rico has issued a procla-
nation saying eight soldiers were kill
ed and "a were wounded as a result of
the bOmbardment of the forts at San
Juan by a portion of Rear Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet on May II.
He adds that two guns were dis
mounted at Morro Castle, which other
the other forts were not much hurt. In
the town, one shot, it is alleged, pene-
trated the palace, and the corner of the
powder house was carried away. No
school children were killed.
The Spanish transport Alfonso XIII.
and the Spanish steamer Manuela were
damaged by the American fire. The
Spaniards, as usual, claim they won a
victory, basing this assertion upon the
fact that the American Warships de-
parted under fire
But the refugees say the city of San
Juan is still terrorized, it's inha abitantS
being hourly in fear of the reappear-
ance of the American fleet and a repe-
tition of the bombardment. Therefore,
people are camping in the country out
of range of the American guns. The
Spaniards claim that Freeman Hal
stead, the newspaper correspondent
who was sentenced to nine years inn
prisonment for photographing the for
tifications at San Juan, was wounded
by a shot which struck the town jail
but the refugees say he was probably
shot by the Spaniards

AMONG RAILROAD MEN.

Blacksmith Kinney of Newton was un-
fortunate enough to get his eye burned
with powder while firing an anvil during
the celebration Saturday afternoon, which
has given him considerable pain since. He
was ready for duty this morning.
Mr. and Mrs. Jay Fox of Pond Creek,
O. T., are the guests of Newton friends.
Jay was employed as an engineer on the
Santa Fe before the war of 1894, and
has many old friends in Newton who are
pleased to greet him and to learn that he
is proSpering.

ATTACKED BY EAGLES.
Brakeman on the Katy Has Lively
Encounter.

Conductor J. M Romer of the Katy
tells the Parsons Eclipse man that two
ca giles attacked one of his brakemen at
Kellar
He says: 1--WE were two miles south
of Kellar on the main line when the
engine broke down and 1 sent a brake
man back to flag behind the train to
protect us from trains coming down
the line. When he had gone back the
required distance, he stopped, and two
eagles, that probably have nest in the
little piece of woods where he stopped,
attacked him with beak and wings.
They would swoop down on him and
peck at him with their bills and strike
with wings and talons. He defended
himself with the blunt end of flag
stick and succeeded in keeping them off
by incessant fighting.
I'm a short time he had used the
stick to such good advantage that he
managed to keep them at distance and
finally frightened them away. The
eagles were large, bald eagles, with
powerful wings and claws, fully capable
of carrying off a small child or an ami
mall

Passenger traffic on the Santa Fe,
both east and west, is unusually good
for this time of the year. The Califor-
MIA travel on the limited and regular
trains has been unusually brisk and the
eastern travel has been the same. The
transporting of several thousand regu-
lar soldiers, their equipment and be-
1ongings has kept the extra cars in
nearly constant use for some time to-
gether with all coaches and baggage
cars that could be spared from the reg
uIar runs. After the transferring of

to various places after they We're Or

SIX INCHES BETTER.
One Party's Flagpole outdone by Half
q Foot

The flag raising has brought on a ser
les of contests among the different de-
partments of the Santa Fe. The great
est fight has been to see which depart
ment will have the tallest flag staff.
The employees Of the lumber yard under
Foreman Stockham raised a pole 6S feet
high and declared they were the WIN
ners but in the car repairing yard the
men under Foreman Elliott raised a
pole 6S and one-half feet high and now
the claim for the highest pole is made
by the men in Elliotts yard.
While different departments have
been contributing money for dags the
only man who has bought flag of his
own is R. p. .Symmes, ,fagman at Fourth
street and the railroad tracks. Beside
his small flag house is a pole 20 feet
high with the stars and stripes waving
as proudly as any of those on poles
three times as high. Mr.. Symmes is
the sole owner of the flag. He is an
old soldier.
