The Carlists have never given up
hope of seeing Don Carlos de Bourbon
on the throne of Spain. Even in the
present crisis OF national affairs his
followers will not be quiet. 1t was
recently discovered that the province
of Navarro was being flooded with
|circulars of the most revolutionary
character. Juan Manuel Ordonta, a
wealthy Carlist, was arrested on sus-
Epicion of being concerned in their is
sue, and locked up in prison. 1t is
also reported that the Jesuits in sew
eral provinchs are boldly and openly
working for Don Carlos. Appeals
have been made to all loyal Spaniards
TO rally to his support, and urging
that Spain needs man and man of
Experience on the throne. It is even
fnsinuated that the reverses of Spain
Rre due to the wrath of the Almighty
Because Don Carlos is denied his
rights. The close of the present war
Is not likely to bring peace to that un-
happy country, for it is all too evident
That the Carlists are ripe for revolu
|tion.-Erchang

The new cruiser Kasagi, built by the
Cramps for Japan, had her official
trial over a forty mile course from
Boone Island to Cape Porpoise, last
week. The speed required Of her by
contract was D. so knots as an aver
age of the run. Her actual speed was
22.72 knots, thus making the contract
good, with a quarter Of knot to
spare. There was no bonus for extra
speed, as in the case of the ships that
the Cramps have built for the United
States Navy. Compared with Ameri-
can ships it shows that the Kasagi is
about the size Of the Baltimore, but
with a speed of nearly % knots, as
against the latter's 16, and with eff
fectively as good an armament.

Manhattan Steamboat Company Boats
Now Running.
The boats OF the Manhattan Steamboat
Co., between New York and Bangor, be-
gan running last week. The company
issued letter in which it stated the cause
of delay in starting the boats.
The company was prepared to put the
boats on the line early in the spring, but
the breaking out OF the war, and the ac-
curing OF an enormous tonnage by the
government for auxiliary and transport
service, taking all available steamers, so
changed the situation that the company
was unable to carry out its plans.
The company has purchased six steam
ers for use over its different lines until
their new ships are completed and ready
for business. 1t has been decided to
make two trips per week between New
York and Bangor instead OF one as stated
previously.
Steamers will leave New York for Ban
gor every Monday and Thursday at 5 p.
M, and will leave Bangor every Mon
day aud Thursday at a. m. and Rock
and at 8 p. m. for New York.
Service over other lines of the company
will commence as soon as slight changes
and alterations are made on the several

Now is the time for Ellsworth's
young people to hustle for the free tuition
offered by The AMERICAN at the Shaw
business college. AS previously stated
THE AMERICAN has at its disposal
three scholarships at this college.
By "scholarships" is really meant tuition
fee. We have three OF these one for six
months, worth s4s; one of three mont his
in the stenographic course, worth 49,,
and one of three months in the regular
business course, worth $24. That is to
say: Any person going to the Shaw
business college from Ellsworth, or from
anywhere else would pay those sums for
tuition.
The Shaw business college has branches
at Houlton, Augusta and Portland; it is
one OF the best organizations OF the kind
in the State. 1t was established in 1884,
and it has been uniformly successful from
the start. The successful contestants
have their choice OF going to either Of
the above named places.
THE AMERICAN having these "scholar-
ships" at its disposal, offers them to the

Coffee Is an Injurious Drink

In answering a correspondent in the
Ladies' Home Journal, Mrs. S. T. Rorer
writes that she considers "coffee, as it is
usually made in the American family
strong and from the pure bean-an inju-
rious drink, especially for nervous people.
No doubt the student to whom you refer
can study better after taking a cup of
coffee, but he new energy is caused by a
stimulant, the effects of which will soon
pass off, leaving him lower in nervous
force. That is the reason he has head
ache and feels so miserable when he is
without coffee II it is only the hot
drink he requires, why not take cup of
clear hot water or cup Of cereal coffee?
Children should drink cold water"

No one has ever supposed that rail
road corporations spend money for the

pensive methods when cheaper ones are
better 1t must be. then, that there is
some pretty substantial reason for di-
viding their roadbeds into sections and
keeping men constantly employed on

same principle applies to ordinary high
ways. The only way that they can be
efficiently maintained is by establishing
q similar system. and the more expen-

To make cabinet pudding, fill mold
with pieces OF stale cake, or you may use

mould may be nicely garnished with bits
OF citron, currants or raisins. After you
have filled the mould two-thirds full with
these bits, cover 1t with ordinary raw

gether with four tablespoonfuls Of sugar,
and adding carefully one quart OF milk.
Allow the mixture to stand in the

cook continuously for one hour. Serve

CUTTING THE CUBAN CABLES.

Two Hupn1Rg 10 Jamaica Relieved to
Be Still Working.
The authorities here are satisfied from re-
liable private Information received that the
French cable line running from Cuba to
Haiti has been cut. probably at Santiago.
by American warships, with a view to the
isolation of Gen. Blanco.
Coupled with this. however, Is the less
satisfactory Information that the two Brit
ism cables from Cuba to Jamaica were not
cut, so that the plan of isolating the cap
tain general. while advanced one step. has
not ye: been carried to the point where all
his means OF communication with the out
side world are cut of This is regarded as
unfortunate from a strategic standpoint,
and also from the fact that cable-cutting
expeditions are attended with great danger
to the men on board ship. who are under
constant fire from the shore batteries.
while unable TO maneuver by reason OF
graphing with the cables.
The officials here hav. definite informa-
ton as to the exact routes used by Gen
Blanco in getting dispatches to and from
Madrid. This shows that his communica-
tions are exclusively over the British cable
line leaving Cuba at Santiago and running
don and Madrid. 1t is stated positively. as
a result OF official inquiry. that Gen. Blanco
has at no time made use of the French line
running to Haiti. From this knowledge by
the authorities here, the cutting of the
French cable is looked upon as less impor-
tant than it would be if it were a vital
channel of Gen. Blanco's communication.
AT the same time, it is a channel to which
might ha had

FORMATION from the Spanish capital are be-

raVal onlcials that the cutting of the two
British cables at Santiago would completely

is no positive information that these cables
were not cut, but circumstances convince
the authorities that this has not occurred.
as they say such result would have been

Is only by cutting the three cables at Glen
fuegos. or the two at Santiago, that final
results can be accomplished, and the latter
project is regarded as the more expedi.nt.
