TOTAL ECLIPSE OF SUN.
VIII be Visible in Asia, Africa and Cen
trail Europe To-day,

Will be Visible in Asia, Africa and Gen.
trail Europe To-day.
A total eclipse Of the sun takes place
to-day. 1t will be visible within belt
from ten to one hundred miles wide, be-
ginning at the great wall Of China,
about 400 miles northwest Of the Gulf
of Corea, and extending southwestward
through the central Chinese provinces
India and the Arabian sea, westward
through the jungles of Central Africa
to point in the West African PENN
sula about 200 miles east of Timbuctoo
and tie same distance north to the Gulf
of Guinea.
The eclipse will be partial in the
greater portion Of Africa, the whole Of
Central Europe, most of Asia, the ISL
ands OF Borneo and Sumatra and NADIA
gascar.
The path of the suns shadow, or the
line of totality, as it is called by as
tronomers, is semi circular in shape.
The narrowest parts are at the eastern
and western ends, the widest at the
middle, which is in the Arabian sea.
The greatest length of time that the
suns disk will be obscured will be two
minutes ana IL SECONDS IN the Ara
bian sea, latitude degrees north and
6 degrees east from Greenwich. AT the
African end of the line of totally the
sun will be obscured only AZ seconds,
and at the Chinese end only 81 seconds.
The time of the eclipse in the populous
about provinces of central China will
be about III minutes.
The eclipse was long ago foretold by
Chinese astronomers, and the fear of it
has stirred the superstition of the
philosophic Chinese character. to a
greater degree than it has been aroused
in many years. 1t is believed through
out the empire that the eclipse of the
sun will mark the beginning of some
great national calamity.
The astronomers and scientific men of
Europe, Asia and America view the
matter in very different light They
hope to reap important advantages to
science by their observations of the
eclipse and thousands of dollars will be
expended by governments and sci
entiflc societies in sending out expedi-
lions to get views of it from different
points These expeditions are now on
their way from England, France, Ger

many and the United States, and the
destination Of most Of them will be
the Indian Peninsula.
The expedition from the United States
went from the Lick observatory in
California and will make observations
from a place near Ruthnagari, d.
rectly in the path of the total eclipse.
The duration of the eclipse will be
longer at Ruthnagari, about two
minutes. than from any other point on
land within path of the shadow. The
eastern universities have sent out no
expeditions, but will depend upon the
English and California observers for
accounts of the eclipse.

MAY ATTACK SPAlN'S COAST.
a New Squadron to he Formed Under
Commodore Schley.

Newport News, Va, June 15.-The
most significant news here is the state
ment by naval officer that one of the
most daring movements in the history
of naval warfare, with Commodore
Schley to put it into effect, is a strong
probability of the near future.
His venture Is the sending of new
flying squadron to Spanish waters to
locate Spains reserve fleet.
Should the fleet remain in Cadiz har-
Dor the plan of the navy department 1t
is said contemplates the dispatch of
second or reinforcing squadron to Span
ish waters and the capture or annihila-
ton of the CadZ feet
The second fleet would probably con-
s.st Of two battleships, several cruis-
ers and a number of collers.
There is no doubt that a new squad
ron Will be formed in Hampton Roads
and all indications point to the fact
that 1t will be sent across the Atlantic
If the Spanish reserve fleet does not
make a quick move for Cuba or Porto
Rico.
This step may not be inaugurated,
however, until Admiral Cervera's fleet
Is either captured or destroyed.
1t is said that the new squadron will
be composed of the cruisers BROOKLYN
Commodore Schley's fiagship), New
York, Minneapolis, Columbia, st. Paul,
Yale, st. Louis and Harvard. Three
IF these ships are now here or in HamI-
ton Roads. All have a speed of more
than twenty-one knots, and they would
form as fleet and strong flying squad
ron as could be organized from the
American navv. Their coal carrying
capacity ranges from 1000 to 1000
tons. The Cincinnati and Newark now
at Norfolk. would hardly join the new
squadron because of their small coal
capacity.

placed in position and eight 5-inch

and his family. For thousand years
the House of Hapsburg has maintained
itself by crimes that call for the con-
demnation of the decalogue. 1t was by
these arts that the dukes Of Austria
pushed that Insignificant state into the
proportions of an Empire. 1t was
duke Of Austria that betrayed Richard
Plantaganet TO the Saracens. 1t was a
duke Of Austria that held Richard
Occur de Leon for twelve years in q
Danubian castle; and another Of the
race that did all manner Of hideous
things in order to incorporate the
crowns Of Bohemia, Pennsylvania and
Austria. The character Of his ances-
tors also well BELTS the present En-
peror. In the dispute between Eng
land and France in 1854 the aim OF the
Emperor of Astria was to trim between
the contending powers. Calling him
self an ally of the Western powers he
came out of the scramble protector or
Moldavia and Wallachia, and so be-
came one of the contracting parties OF
the peace of Paris in 1856. He thus
vastly solidifled himself in the seat into
which adventitious circumstances hao
thrust him. He was also successful in
the attempt to maintain for a long
time the predominance of Austria over
Prussia In the Germanic Diet; and no
one will deny that the ill-starred at
tept of his brother Macmillan to sub
vert the Monroe Doctrine had the full
and unconditional approval of the
whole Austrian Court. He was then
the enemy Of America as he Is to-day.
Therefore there are many probabilities
as we'll as some powerful dynastlc
reasons why the cables from Paris
which speak Of the pernicious activity
of Austria do no injustice to the Aus
trian Emperor, whose family masked
In ptety have ever been the unscrupu-
lous foes of liberty, and of whom
caustic writer has well said that they
gave idiots to Spain in the guise of
Kings, harlots to France In the guise
of Queens, tyrants to the Netherlands
in the guise Of regents, monsters to the
new world In the guise Of warriors and
empty-headed bigots to lord 1t over the
brave people of the Holy Roman EN-
pire." This is a crushing Indictment
and 1t is perhaps one of the retribu-
tions of avcnging time that the man
who is now conspiring against US Las
no direct heir for the throne his fathers
had stolen and is likely to be succeeded
by a madmsn who is never likely to
reign and who is one of the wickedest
men on earth.

and the clerks in the office were kept
continually busy giving out informa-

Though the application for blanks
was so large that they had to be given
out sparingly, few persons made an
actual purchase, evidently wishing TO
go home and think the matter over
first. Up to noon less than twenty

were bought and paid for.
To guard against spectators and to
give the public every possible chance
to invest, no person Is allowed to invest
more than $500, applicants at the SUBJ

tions being advised that their applica-
tions must be sent to the treasurer of

THE AMERICAN PaiVATseR.


Best to Help the Country.
When the American privateer came
to the front in the war Of 1872 1t did
not come as pirate.
1t came as private ship of war bent
on doing It's best to help the country.
which had only a small naval force.
These vessels and their services to
the Republic were admirably illustrat-
ed in the case OF the General Arm
strong, a small ship mounting only
seven guns and carrying ninety men.
The General Armstrong sailed from
New York and captured many British
prizes in the first two years of the
war.
In September, 1914, she was lying In
the harbor of Fayal, Azores Islands,
when a British squadron Of several
ships sailed in.
This squadron was on It's way to ia
maica, where a great feet was being
assembled by the English to capture
New Orleans.
On seeing the General Armstrong,
which was under command of Capt.
Samuel c. Reid, the British prepared
to attack her. The principal English
vessels in the squadron were the ship
Plantagenet, of "a guns. the frigate
Rota, A, and the brig Carnation, of 18.
Commodore Lloyd gave orders to
capture the Yankee so that she could
be used In the expedition against New
Orleans. All were sailing ships in
those days, and the first attack on the
yankee" was made by boat party
of 100 men.
These were repulsed with terrible
loss, and second attack was made
with 500 men, which met with a SINH
lar fate.
Amazed at the fighting qualities of
the American privateer Commodore
Llcyd then ordered one of the big ships
to be worn" into position so that she
could get her big guns to bear on the
General Armstrong.
Before this could be done Capt. Reid
scuttied his ship and landed with mis-
men. The little company took refuge
in an old stone convent on q high hill
and defied the enemy.
The official report Of the British Con-
sui shows that the losses on that side
in killed and wounded was 800 men,
while the American had only killed
and wounded.
BY this gallant fight of Capt. Reid
and his men New Orleans was saved.
The British squadron did not reach
Jamaica in time to cooperate in the
attack, and when they finally reached
there Gen. Jackson had the city in a
condition to repel their attack.
This wonderful exploit of the Gen.
eral Armstrong is not referred to in
any of the regular histories of the
American Navy, though it certainly de-
serves place there.
The privateers OF those days, SO far
as this country was concerned, were
the volunteer navy of the Republic.
They struck out boldly for the enemy's
country and were ready for a fight at
q moments notice.
The volunteer navy of to-day would
do the same thing IL given the oppor-
tunity.
