SCHUYLKILL

She Has Several Sons in The Foremost
Ranks.
ONE FIGURED AT MATANZBS
He is the Chief Engineer Of the Puritan.
Another is an Engineer on the Oregon
and others Are with the New
York, Texas, Minneapolis
and Mayhower

Apropos to the discussion as to whether or
not it was a resident of Schuylkill county
who fred the first shot in the existing war
between the United States and Spain it is
worthy of note that the county is actively
identified with the war in several important
quarters. In the first place we have Com
modore Farquhar father of Norman Far
quhar, Esq, of Pottsville, commander of the
navy yard in Norfolk, and his son, Norman
is now with the Third Brigade, n. c. p. at
Mt. Gretna, as adiutaut Then we have
Lieut.. Heilner, Of Tamaqua, son of ex-Judge
Heilner of that place He is connected with
the navigation service on the battleship
Texas. Lieut.. Haeseler son of Dr. Haescler.
Of Pottsville, is also on the Texas. Lieut..
Thomas Ryan, Of Mahanoy City, is also with
one of the fleets, but the name of his vessel
is not known at present. Then there is John
r. Edwards, a brother of S. B. Edwards
Esq, Of PottsYile He fills the position OF
chief engineer on the monitor Puritan, which
aided Admiral Simpsons flagship New York
in so effectively reducing MantanEas. Again
we have Ensign James F. Carter, of st
Clair who is division commander and watch
on the torpedo boat destroyer Nay1ower. He
is a brother of JanitOr Carter of the
county court house. There is another brother
who has been in the regular army for the
past nineteen years and is now in the
South with his company, awaiting the orders
to go to Cuba. Edward Consteiu, of
Ashland, is also in the harness. He is cadet
engineer on the cruiser Minneapolis There
is also a man named Chambers, of Pottsviile.
He is an assistant engineer on the battleship
Oregon, upon which the eyes of the country
are now turned with hopes that shs may
evade Spanish fleets and make her run safely
from Brazil to Key West and complete her
journey from the Pacific. In addition to the
above there is Otto Neuman formerly of
this town. His father, Charles Neuman, was
a carpenter at the Kelley Run collery
and was killed on the dirt plane of the
colliery several years ago. Otto is a marine
on Admiral Simpsons flagship New York
Harry Vaughn, another former resident OF
| this town, is also a marine on one of the
vessels of Admiral SIMPSONS fleet, and Hon

Key West, May 3.-Everything portends a
decisive movement on the part of Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet. The news of Dewey S

important and decisive movement of Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet is pending. All day there
has been an unmistakable hustle of prepara.
tion on the vessels in the harbor.
The exact nature and location of the com,
ing operation against Cuba is not made pub

that decisive blow will be struck before the
end of the week.

proclaimed, and the capitol is now in control
Of the military authorities.
This is the result of the continued with.
holding of the whole truth and the suspen-
sion of the particulars regarding the losses
sustained at Manila. This goaded the
populace into a dangerous temper Mobs
attempted to attack Senor Morets house
whom they have selected as the scapegoat.

to-day an attempt was made to raise debate
on the situation, the governments policy at

Weyler in the Senate.
1t was feared that there would be trouble
caused in the Cabinet, but the crisis in that
quarter appears to have been avertod by the
assertion of sagasta that the government pro-
poses to an aggressive position.
There is no idea of surrender on the part
of Spain because of the reverses at the
Philippines.
All is quiet at Madrid to-day. The martial
law proclamation prohibits the publication of
any news whatever about the war or navy.
