Newspaper Enemies.

The Fremont News has a very
correct idea as to who are the enc.
mics of the newspapers when ii
says:
"Of course newspaper has enc
mics, several of them. First and
foremost the man who owes 8
newspaper an honest debt and will
not pay it, can be counted as an
enemy. The man who wants an
Office, and complains because the
newspapers will not champion him
in preference to all others is pretty
apt to become an enemy. The
man who wants to dictate to pa
per and is not allowed to do SO, is
a sure enemy. The ruffian and
the bully never like a bold and
fearless newspaper. The sneak and
the coward fear newspapers and
consequently do not like them
But of all men that newspaper
should dislike, is the man whom il
has befriended and assisted and
who proves the migrate, who turns
his back on the paper after secur-
ing all from it possible. We can
respect in a certain degree an open
and avowed enemy, but an migrate,

Washington, March 10. = Secretary
Alger spent time in consultation with
President Linderman, Vice President
Davenport and Mr.. Meigs of the Beth
lehem Iron company. This corpora
ton has contract for supplying 100
neavy rifles for coast defense,
Many of these have been delivered
already and the secretary's purpose in
inviting the representatives of the
country to meet him was to ascertain
the extent of their resources in case
of emergency, and to induce them to
press the work in their hands with all
diligence. In both of these undertake
ings the secretary was successful.
While this conference was in prog
ress at the war department Secretary
Long was engaged in an earnest con-
sultation with President Griscom of
the American line of steamers. Mr..
Griscom has just returned from Flor
ida, and had stopped here on his way
to Philadelphia for the express pur-
pose of meeting Secretary Long, pre-
sumabIy to inform the department as
to what can be done in the way of
converting vessels of the American
line into auxiliary cruisers for the
navy, under the terms of the subsidy
act, in case they are needed.

NIGHTLY SCENES AT PIER.
Ehe Restless. Throne An1fously watch
Every Movement OF the Big White
Wa1ships which Lie Peace
fuIi In the HARDER.

Key West, Fla, March 10.-An at
mosphere of war has taken firm grip
on this little sun-kissed island. All
day long restless throng yeers from
the main streets to the water front to
see il the big white warships are stiil
lying peacefully at anchor in the
harbor.
At night swarthy cigar makers, tired
with their ineessant rolling through
the day, throw themselves lazily on
logs that lie on piers. They look out
at the ships and talk among them
selves in that soft Spanish tongue OF
the times when they hope those black
guns will beIch forth their leaden Wis
ilataion upon the enemies of Cuba.
Key West is essentially Cuban in its
sympathies and greatly so in its pop
ulation. These groups on the docks
are merely types of other groups that
nightly gather on street corners, IN
cafes and throughout the struggling
city, all eagerly debating when war
will be declared.
AS the sun goes down and the cigar
maker takes last look at the glisten-
ing sides of the stately ships, reflected

At La Brisa, the great pleasure re-

held twice a week in hall that looks
directly out on the gulf and its keys.
and where, when the music ceases, you
can hear the waves ripping up against
the Brisa's wooden piles, there is al
ways a gallant galaxy from the senior
arm of the service.
Here dark-eyed senoritas and genu-
inc American girls trip gaily over the
polished floor with strapping young
cadets or lieutenants who wear the
much coveted naval beard. The
army barracks also furnishes its con-
tingent of officers. If war were de-
clared suddenly or if the fleet were
unexpectedly ordered away on one Of
the Brisa dance nights, there would
ensue a scene very similar to that
which made the ball on the eve OF the
battle of Waterloo SO memorable.
