and the record made by both the
barge and the gig Of the Frisco was
exceptionally fine. Two OF the men

beneath the wreck Of the Maine. one
Of the numerous trial races which the
captain encouraged was In process on
Mare island between the captains

States steamer Alert, when orders
were received TO bring the San Fran
cisco into dock for cleaning. The tide
was strong and 1t was only by hard
pulling against 1t that the operation
OF bringing the vessel In could bc ac-
complishcd. In vain the captain reit-
Grated the orders to pull in" There
was no time To- be lost; but excitement
over the race was Mt a high pitch. and
all hands were leaning over the ships

WHAT WAR MEANS.
Loss to tho Wealth of the World In the
blood and Ashes OF Battle.

What Inns actually been lost to the
wealth OF the world In the blood aud
ashes OF the war since authentic his
tory began ~ beyond all estimate. It
has been computed that the loss of
human life alone In that time from
war amounts TO fourteen THOUSAND
million souls--a number equivalent to
the entire population Of the globe for
the last $50 years, says writer IN
Lcslle's Weekly. II should be noted
here that the class of men who are
drafted or accepted for military SER
vice are Invariably the very class who.
by reason OF nge. health and strength.
are the most valuable to the world
from the purely economic and material
standpoint They are the sinlwart.
intelligent. capable men. In this coun-
try economists have set the definite
value of 5000 upon the average man.
considered as wealth producer. TAX
ing this figure as the general standard
OF the value OF man, IL can be seen
what un Inconceivabie amount of
wealth in the shape OF men has been
destroyed on the battlefclds of the
world since time began.
The war losses OF the United States
have not been rs great. comparatively,
us those OF other civilized nations In
recent times. but even the totals here
are sufficient to show the absurdity OF
the 1supposition that either now or at
any other time we may reap financial
gain by the sickles Of battle. The All
nual expenditure of the United States
during the war of the revolution was
Soo.0o0.0O0 in specie. Most OF this
money was raised by public loans in
the form of paper currency. The ds-
minishing value OF this slender secur-
ity inevitably brought about the hoard
Ing OF gold. The consequent scarcity
Of real money, as matter OF course,
was follow ii by suffering widespread
and intense.
Our second war with England lasted
only two years. but II cost us SI2.ooo :
600 to vindicate our cause, just aud
righteous rs 1t was And this did not
include the losses to our merchant ma

The Terror moved in as II intending to

ners evidently became much excited at
its behavior. for they AIRED rapidly and
evidently without taking any aim. for
the Terror was not touched. Every
shot fired by the Spaniards could be
seen. The fash and smoke OF the bat
