The position occupied by the Span

Learning About Cornbread.

philadelphia lnqu1rer)
With a diligence that is commendable.
the Johnstown Daily Democrat Is in
structing its readers how TO break the
Letter wheat corner by using corn
meal instead OF flour. Every day IL pub
fishes recipe for corn-pones or a report
that motormen on the cars have given up
wheat-bread and taken into the Johnny
cake, or Jeremiad against Letter
and his ilk. II the Democrat keeps it
up 1T will soon teach the whole of Cam
bria county 70 eat corn-bread, and il it
does, this will be almost the first time
on record that a Johnstown Democrat
taught anything worth knowing.
The question of corn-bread Vi. wheat
bread is entirely separate and apart from
the Letter corneS. If the nervy Chicago
plunger wants a corner to amuse him
over night, that is his own business. Let
him take it off with him to the mountains
or the seashore and nurse it into good
health. Let him buy wheat and buy
wheat. Let him have all that he wants
There Is no necessity for US TO buy 1t
back from him. If we buy cOrn-meal,
according TO the advice of the JohnstoWn
Democrat, We will not need a pound of
wheat, and Joe Letter can have his cor
ner' all TO himself.
In the South they look upon the cor
nef' IN wheat with ScOrn. AS long rs the
mule can tote" the meal-sack from the
mill they will have no thought of risen"
bread. Corner or no corner" south
Of Mason's and Dixon's line they will
have on the table every morning for
years TO come the subtantlal and homely
corn-pone, the succulent and juicy batter
bread, served with a spoon, the crisp
and fragrant muffin, and perhaps some
tasty Johnny-cftke and non-dyspeptic
fapjacks. Sometimes they will have all
of these, and sometimes only three or
four. but Eever less than three. We doubt
whether the chief functionaries In the |
cook houses OF the Virginia and Carolina |
plantations ever heard Of the wheat |
corner, but If they have, we are certain |
that they do not care an ash-cake for il. |
Corn-bread is underestimated in the |
North for some unfathomable reason. |
Possibly IL is because the meal is always |
better when freshly ground; but II is |
possible to secure a very good quality Of |
white southern meal in these markets.
If the thrifty householder would hearken
unto words Of wisdom. she will follow
the advice OF the Johnstown Democrat,
and try a meal OF bacon and green's"
with corn-pones, or, better still, some
fried chicken, with batter-bread on the

It is understood TO be the plan. al-
though as to this there is no precise off,
cial statement, to have the troops at
Chickamauga take the place of those at
Florida posts az fast as the latter leave
Tor active service, thus keeping n large
force always ready for embarkation from
Florida. Aside from the troops already
specified. there are the 1900 men at
camp Ager. near Washington. and
lesser bodies Of troops on Long Island
and IN various States. The 1900 volun-
teers under the recently-lsssued second
eau constitute stil another reserve.
which, however, is yet to be organized
and equipped.

While General Miles will have general
supervision OF these and all other mill

Associated Press with tho American sfeet
Off Santiago de Cuba:
ore Santiago de Cuba, May 2s.-Commo-
dore Schley and the flying squadron have
the Spanish feet bottled up In the barber
OF Santiago de Cuba. BY the most clever
manoeuvring, the Commodore allowed tho
Spaniards to think he had lefs IN
disgust. They took the bait and ran
into the harbor.
Commodore Schley moved down this
morning. and at s o'clock. going close TO
the harbor, he saw the cristobal Colon,
the Maria Tersea- and two torpedo-boats.
He believes the entire fleet is there.
THINKS HE HAS THEM ALL
Schley has acted on his own informa-
tion and Judgment for the past six days,
and believes the whole Spanish Heet 10
there.
He sat on the after-triangie OF the
Brooklyn until after the discovery OF the
heet, and then went 70 breakfast, say.
ing: Il have got them, and they will
never get home"
The United States auxiliary cruiser st.
Paul arrived here this morning. and was
sent TO the Mole st. Nicholas with dis
patches. She captured eoal-shlp,
which was sent TO Key West by Captain
Sigsbee, in charge OF a prize crew. The
coal was undoubtedly INTENDED for the
Spanish feet. II is believed that there
is not much coal at Santiago de- Cuba
The officers and men OF the Aging squad
ron are jubilant over the fact that the
location OF the Spanish, feet has finally
been definitely established.

The temperature here Is 10 degrees in
