The Unhappy Queen.

The reports that the Spanish queen
is anxious to abdcate may or may not

enough 10 take such a step. She IS

them at great disadvantage, they

Two Months OF War.

Those who expect everything to be
done at once, and that, too, without
any preparation. find great delight il
criticising the conduct of the war, and
in condemnng what they are pleased
to call the "slowneSS" of those in
charge of affairs. All branches of our
government have been very active
since war began and since the danger
plshed vast amount of work. 1t is only
two months since the war actually began,
and that is very brief space of time
to accomplish all that has been done on
land and sea. at Washington and at
the front.
Let those who are inclined to croak
and find fault look for a moment at
what has been done by the army and
navy. In the period of less than two
months since war was declared our
regulars have been transported from
all corners of the land to Tampa, and
Two large expeditions have left for
Manila and the third is almost ready TO
go. An army of 125, 900 volunteers is now
getting we'll trained and equipped for
active duty, and arrangements for 49,
900 more volunteers are under way.
The regular army is slowly being in
creased to 81 900 men. Considering our
startling unpreparedness, and in spite
Of all minor shortcomings, even on the
army side the war has shown consid
cradle progress.
The navy has a remarkable record

was blockaded the next day. Ten

fashion which will make this battle

achievement of Lieut.. Hobson in
sinking the Merrimac at the narroWest
