Spanish Torpedo Boat Flotflla.

Washington, March 2f.-There ia no
doubt that the authorities here are
keeping themselves fully advised as to
the movement of the Spanish torpedo
hotllla, now en- route from Spain. Up
to last night the official advices were
to the effect that the fiotilla had not
left the Canaries, where stop was
made to await the arrival of Spanish
cruiser. Persons acquainted with the
facts say that the stop at the Canaries
is only temporary, and that there is
no purpose on the part of the Spanish
government to turn back the torpedo
boats because of the removal of the
Texas and Massachusetts, from Kew
West. On the con ntrary, the purpose,
as made known in Washington, is that
trip to Cuba and Porto Rico. 1t was
stated by one high in naval authority
that no steps had been taken toward
intercepting this fiotilla or warning it
away. There has been considerable
conjecture in this line by naval Off
GERS, but on the idea that if emergency
was in fact near at hand, it would be
inexpedient to allow a large torpedo
fiotilla to rendezvous on this side
The fact that Rear Admiral Sicard
has remaining with him at Key West
formidable squadron is due to the
desire of the authorities to have a
strong fleet there when the report of
the court of inquiry is read, and the
result of the policy to be inaugurated
by the president has made itself ap-
parent
1t has been determined by the Off
cials 10 continue the sharp watch
which has been kept on the torpedo
boat fiotilla, and should they attempt
to move to Porto Rico, to make Wig
orous protest to Spain, looking to-
ward orders for their immediate re-
turn to the Canaries, and if Spain
should refuse to comply with those
manifestations, the plan prepared by
the officials contemplates not only the
formation of flying squadron, but
the dispatch of cruisers to intercept
the torpedo fotilla and destroy it.

Hon John ID. Long, secretary of the

1t Is sometimes the case that persons,
who have for many years been In
low state of health, will, toward the
latter part of their lives, appear to out
grow many of their morbid tendencies
and develop really good physical con-
ditions. Under such circumstances ii
has been observed that full and Wig
orous head OF hair Is grown, and there
are several cases on record where new
teeth have made their appearance. The
speculative mind at once takes up the
question, whether there Is not sufficient
restorative power in nature to put old
people in excellent condition. provided
they give nature the proper assistance.
In one instance a woman Of sixty-five
years, after a long period of what was
considered hopeless invalidism, gradu-
ally recovered her health. Two years
later her hair measured fifty-four
inches. and the twist at the head was
as large as the wrist Of the ordinary
person. 1t seems to be taken for
granted that when people pass GER
tain age they are on the down-hill side
OF life, and nothing can be done for
them. This is a great mistake. and
one which a few of our most advanced
scientists are beginning to under
! stand.

Doing Good.

Goodness is an attribute that is not
only resident OF the soul, but It's
quantity and quality are determined
by its manifestations. 1t can not live
unless 1t does-it must be doing. Nor
does It wait the bidding Of those who
crave its display. 1t asks permission;
1t seeks opportunities. We all pray
that we may be good, but what is our
motive? Is 1t simply that we may en-
Joy II ourselves? 1t Is a delightful
state OF heart and mind, greatly to be
coveted, richly to be enjoyed; but II
prompts us to be doing, exercising the
virtue. Nor is 1t a difficult task
rather pleasant duty; while, on the
other hand those who go the round
OF official duty In a perfunctory and
mechanical style find those duties irk-
some and distasteful, and the service
lacking the proper and right motive
Is more of a burden to others than to
themselves We must do good for the
love of it, and though not as wisely
done as some think. perhaps for lack
OF experience 1t might be better done.
But the spirit In which 1t is done more
than compensates for the order of it's
doing. If one has the goodness he will
learn how best to use 1t.

Idaho Convicts Escape.

Boise, Ida, March 10. - Thirtee en-
prisoners escaped in a bunch from the
Idaho penitentiary at / o'clock this
afternoon. 1t was one of the boldest
escapes in the history of the institution
The men were at work in the quarry
with Guard Jackson guarding them
alone. They suddenly surrounded,
overpowered and disarmed him and
then compelled him to walk with them
mile back into the hills. He was
then turned loose, and two of the con-
victs came back with him voluntarily.
The alarm was given and in half an
hour the hills were filled with armed
men. They caught six of the runa-
ways, but the other five, including
the one who has Guard Jacksons gun,
are still at large, The man with the
gun is q desperate character, so the
posses are proceeding very cautiously
and the men will be able to get wei
away before morning.

NOTORIOUS GANG d ONE
mormon Coionists Avenge the Death of n
Member.

vi Paso, Tex, March co. The noto-
rio-s Black Jack gang of outlaws.
which for years has defied the United
States and local authorities of the
southwest, has at last been wiped out
and its career of crime brought to a
close. 1t remained for me qmbers of
the Mormon colony near Casa S Grandes
Mexico, to seek out the rendezvous of
the band In the almost inaccessible
Sierra Marde mountains, and to carry
death to it's members.
On February 23 Mrs A. H. Melon
aid, member of the Mormon colony,
at Round Valley, 40 miles east of Casas
Grandes, was murdered by two mem
bers of the gang and her st pre- looted.
Several of the Mormon colohists start
ed out to hunt down the murderers
and they did their work well.
Sunday, March 13 they discovered
the gang at point in the mountains
so miles from Round Valley, and at
daylight had the camp closely sur
rounded. AS soon as the c amp began
to stir, the firing began, and in a short
time not one of the gang remained
alive. A party of American n prospec-
tors came upon the camp ne xt day and
found nine bodies stiff in death. and
afterwards learned from the Mormons
the manner of the slaughter +.
The Black Jack gang of train rob
bers was the most desperate and sue
cessful that ever operated in the south
west. Among their crimes are the
looting of the town of Solomonyille,
Ariz., and the murder of the postmas-
ter there, the holding up of trains on
the Santa Fe, Southern Patific at Pu-
erco n NJ, and at Grant Station, N.
M. At the latter point t rains were
held up at two different times. The
most recent was five months ago, when
1T was reported that $50, 600 was Sc
cured.
The United States autho rites have
made two expeditions into Mexico in
pursuit of this band of outlaws, but
were never able to locate their hiding
place.
Mrs. Mcdonald, the murdered wo-
man was once resident OF st. George
Utah, and had many friends over the
state

PLAN rO DIVIDE CUBA



Washington, March 10. - Senator
Proctor suggests that Cuba take all
they have won, Spain all she holds.
The Cubans hare possession of
Puerto Principe and Santiago de Cuba
The Spanish control the the provinces
OF Pinar del Rio, Havana, Matanza and
Santa Clara. 1t may be that Spain
can be coerced by diplomatic means
into giving up Puerto Principe and
Santiago de Cuba, retaining the most
fertile part of her dependency. When
peace is restored, as the United States
will insist that it must be. the Cubans
will possess all they have won and
Spain all she has successfully defended.
1t appears a reasonable solution of the
perplexing situation that now prevails
and 1T is expected to be satisfactory to
Spain. Senator Proctor, in the cloak
rooms, has been strenously advocating
this scheme of portioniug Cuba and al
ready it is finding some support,
Whether it will be pleasing to the
insurgents is doubtful. They want
the entire island, but under the cir
cumstances compromise might be
effected, and if it is, the presiden t
would be happy He would have
stopped the war in Cuba, giving the
insurgents their independence and
have rendered it possible for Spain to
capulate without sacrificing all her
pretentious honor
