and large number of horses have
been driven into the mountains by their
owners. Some of them will be cap
tured. Ponce is the second city of the
island has a splendid harbor, and will
make good base of operations.
There are fifteen large coasters this
afternoon at Guanica Bay, but only two
barges We're captured. 1t is likely that
the Spanish garrison from Ponce may
try to surprise our people tonight, but
it will only be an affair of outposts.
The town of Ponce is sure to fall short
ly before the combined attack of our
army and navy. The main fighting
when San Juan is reached will be along
the line Of the splendid military road
leading from Ponce to San Juan. But
every precaution will be taken to lessen
our casualties, even to the use of the
street shields, of which a supply was
brought with the expedition.
The health of the troops is excellent,
except among the Massachusetts, men.
They have been packed on the Yale
for about fifteen days, and thirty cases
of typhoid fever have developed among
the soldiers. Parker of the Sixth Mas
sachusetts died on Friday, and was
buried at sea. Later in the day the
Dixie spoke the boat of the Associated
Press. 1t was then about o'clock at
night, and the commander Of the Dixie
said he had been almost around the
island of Porto Rico, and had not seen
any man-of-war or transport, except
the New Orleans, which was blockad-
ing the port Of San Juan.
A heavy gale was blowing, causing
the dispatch boat to take nineteen hours
in making the 125 miles to st. Thomas

There is a destiny which shapes

misquoted Darcy, philosophically.
For the third time failure was about
to crown his efforts, and disaster stared
him in the face.
Involuntarily his brow puckered into
a frown at does seem as if the old
Nick was in it!'' he muttered, reflective
ly. Then, Strengthening himself, he
laughed ruefully, put Oh his hat, and
walked out of his office.
With his hand on the door-knob, he
paused at his clerks question.
"Should any one call to see you, Mr..
Darcy, what shall | say"
"Say that I've gone to the devil!'
said Darcy, as he went out and slammed
the door,
If his words were true, the devil was
at that moment in a handsome office
in fine building on the next street,
and was lolling in an easy chair in the
form ot old Jonathan DAVIS, Darcy's
principal creditor.
The interview between the two men
was emincntiy unsatisfactory to one of
them, as Darcy had known that it
would probably be; for why should
Jonathan Davis grant hmr to the man
whose downfall he had unquestionably
schemed to bring about? For, since
Darcy was an admirer of the old man S
niece, the hcress, and since she had
seemed to prefer Darcy's attentions to
those Of Jonathan Davis's dissipated
son, was it not natural that this un-
scrupulous man should wish-by the
only means in his power put Darcy
out of the race?
SO, half an hour later, the younger
man found himself in the street again,
smiling grimly as he faced the gloomy
present and the futures unpromising
outlook.
In twenty-four hours the fact that
lie was unable to meet his obligations
would be known to all the world, and
he would again be ruined man.
Meanwhile-and oh, the irony of i'll

But what farce it would be, and what
a tragedy-for would underIie
the farce; for after tonight they would
dance together no more. And soon
they would meet no more. For after

DOES NEWS CONTRACT THE
VIEWS?

The rapid decline of the Klondike
craze, among other things, enables us
to realize how completed y the war up
on which we have lately entered has
absorbed public attention, far really
there was much in Alaska's fauna and
flora and the general resources and
future of the country to interest, apart
from the mere sensations of big gold
finds. 1t is indeed wonderful coun-
try, and, at the time it began to at
tract widespread attention, our writer's
were beginning to lag in the absence
ofany really stirring subject, and not
few seemed to have hopelessly drift
ell into unrcalitics, or, at least, into
subjects which only a very lively in
vention and taking style could make
really attractive. The Alaskan gold
field theme really promised to be
host in itself, but how quickly was it
doomed to fade out of sight! In fact,
complaint is made that in the great
cities events of considerable local in
terest are given a. very secondary
place now and, as for legislation, the
prospects of the fall campaign, and
other subjects ordinarily interesting,
one hardly hears Of them. This does
not matter much, if the question be
one mainly Of interesting people as
readers; for the war will surely pro-
vide steady interest until it is conclud-
ed, even if it does not grow into very
wide dimensions. But there will be
want of symmetry in our knowledge
ofcurrent events, and We shall find it
hard to catch up, when then the stir
and excitement are over
In this light, one asks: What is the
real value of what we call news, and
how closely does it touch practically?
1t is becoming the case more and more
in this county that men attach an al
most mystic Significance to that which
is occurring to-day without much re-
gard to its value in prospective Any
thing descriptive of past and not
bearing directly upon events in the
present is relegated by these to the IL
ries,--there to to be neglected until
some one takes up history rs set
subject. SO we congratulate ourselves
upon being practical. But the trouble
with so cphemeral way of regarding
things is that it places US at an isolat-
ed point in the worlds progression.
Men read news to be amused, and fancy
that they are reading it to be instruct
ed, and that it has direct bearing
upon their interests and their very life
itself. But suppose, in the intensity
of the watch for the news, one lets his
own intellectual pursuits become dis
torted and disarranged, so that he can
not think rs clearly or as pungently
as before,-is this practical? In this
sense one finds ancient Archimedes
not so foolish after all.-Home Journal
