WE OWN OTHERS

The United States possesses two
islands far away from the continent,
in the middle Of the Pacific ocean.
These two islands are named Baker
and Rowland, and came into the pos
session of Uncle Sam in 1857. They lie
a few miles north of the equator and
approximately LOO miles southwest of
the Hawaiian Islands. Baker island is
a mile long and three-fourths Of mile
wide. 1t affords much guano, has a
movable wharf, an unsafe anchorage
and is not inhabited. except by fero-
cious rats and fowls. Rowland is about
three miles to the north of Baker. 1t
is two miles long and half mile wide.
1t has a wharf, affords guano, and has
a coarse and scanty vegetation. 1t also
has no permanent inhabitants, and is
written OF as Astounding in sea birds
and rats" The stars and stripes also
float over the Marquis of Weeks island
2,70O miles west of Honolulu
and very near to Manila It is five
miles long, has a snowy-white beach
and a dense vegetation.

NO PEACE FOR SPAIN

The world is wondering how Spain
can possibly avoid revolution. August,
Montejo, Cervera and Toral have their
friends in Spain who viii fight if these
brave officers are disgraced by the gov
eminent. Behind the cry for war and
for more sacrifice are the Republicans,
the Carlists and the heightened fends
of the Weyler stamp Of demagogue, all
plotting and hoping for the overthrow
of the dynasty. They do not want
peace, and will not hear to it if they
can help themselves, because revolution
feeds upon war and anarchy gluts upon
fratricidal blood. Revolutionary move
ments never succeed in the face of
promised peace. Still any attempt upon
the part of the crown and its ministry
to encompass peace, however honorable
its terms and conditions, will be the
signal for the lower classes who back
the Weylers, and those who back the
pretender Don Carlos to attempt plung-
ing the country into revolution. Only
the peace which comes after destruc-
ton seems possible with Spain. A sur
render to the United States of all that
this country might demand would not
mean peace for Spain so long as she is
at the mercy of the majority leaders,
whose ambitions. however conflicting,
are all one in the desire to see the
present dynasty overturned. Because
of this state of affairs the pope found
himself powerless and the other nations
of Europe decline to intervene with
peaceful recommendations.

DUM-DUMMED.

A private concern has been given a
contract to supply the British govern
ment with 100000 rounds of dunn
dunn projectiIes, while the Woolwich
arsenal is working constantly to pro-
duce 1000, 900 of these bullets every
week. Dum-dum bullets are especially
designed for use against savages. In
the Indian war some of the natives
continued to fight after they had been
pierced by six ordinary Lee etford
bullets used by the British. The new
bullet has the same dimensions as the
Lee Metford (.303 and 10 inch long,,
bat is empty at the cone, which causes
it to fiatten, to make a larger wound
and to remain in the victim if fired
a. some distance. In civilized warfare
all that is desired IS to put a man out
oUt Of the game by disabling him,
which one ordinary bullet will accom-
plish. but the superior endurance Of the
savage has 1cessitated the use Of a
projectile that will kill him. In other
words, he has to be dunn dummed.

PATHETIC EPISODES.

The Spanish way of doing things has
brought to the knowledge of the world
some very pathetic incidents such as

Brave men, more brave than any left
to rule in Spain, have been falling VIC

provinces. The sympathy Of all the
wide world Of humanity was aroused
by that broken-hearted ejaculation Of
Commander Eulate as he stepped upon
the deck Of the Iowa wounded and a
prisoner and saw his vessel rent and
destroyed before his eyes by the ex-
plosiOn Of her magazines. "Adios, Viz
caya! There goes my beautiful ship,
captain" And then the silence and
the tear-bedimmed eyes of the old and
gallant Admiral Cervera as he, also a
prisoner OF war, took the outstretched
hand of his captor, Wainwright and
heard that officers tribute to his BRAY
cry in face Of challenge from recog-
nized Fate itself But that which
shows the damning fanaticism Of Spain
and the utter lack Of conscience of its
men Of affairs, was Cervera's remark

No Drawer man or more accomplished /
officer has fought under the flag Of Cas- |

done more than he did in a most des-
perate situation. He was acting under
orders from his superiors. Success
would have made him the idol Of Spain.

Eight days from its arrival in the Ha-

Senor Canalejas did not regard the
matter seriously at the time, although
the hotel boy who brought him the
letter and the postoffice employe who
had last charge of it were arrested.
So also was the hotel employe, who
went several times daily to the post

discharged after an examination.

doubtedly would have been the result

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INsTALLMENTs.
In order that new readers of THE EN-
oU1RER may begin with the fol lowing in
stallment of this story, and understand it
Just the same as though they had read ii
all from the beginning, we here give
synopsis of that portion of it which has
already been published:
Lola Turrian, whose father, an exile for
crime, is at the mercy Of her husband,
goaded by Turrian, pushes him from the
DEVILS rock and supposes him to be dead.
Sir Jaffray Walcote, partly pledged to nis
cousin, Beryl Leycester, proposes to Lola
and is finally accepted. Beryl, though
she loves Sir Jaffray, magnanlmously ac-
quiesces. Lola and Sir Jaffray are mar
ried and leave England. Turrian makes
his appearance at the home of Beryl Ley
cester and learns of Lola's marriage. Sir
Jaffray and Lola return to England,
where Lola meets Turrian and ignores the
fact that she is his wife, introducing him
to Sir Jaffray as musician from whom
she had taken lessons, but secretly grants
him an allowance. Turrian tells Of a
friend who was pushed from the DEVILS
rock by bis wife, and Beryl recognizes
those referred to. She declares to Turrian
that she has proof of his marriage to Lola
Crawshay and warns him to leave the
house the next morning. During The
night Turrian tries to murder Beryl Ley
cester, but fails.
