THE GOVERNMENT AND THE
HOSPITAL SHIP.

It is proposed to raise means to out
fit a hospital ship for use in Manila
Bay and wherever necessary in the
Philippines Some steps in that di-
rection have already been taken, we be-
lieve, in the way of popular subscrip-
tions. 1t would be just as we'll to pause
in the movement. AS matter Of course
a hospital ship is needed for our forces
in the Orient. The two we now have on
the Atlantic side and the third outfit
ships of the fleet of any order. They
relieve the fighting vessels of serious
incumbrance, insure the safety of the
wounded from the hap Of battle, and
render their recovery more probable.
The need for hospital ships is there
fore not among the open questions. But
whatever is necessary in this line the
Government should furnish because the
hospital ship, new as it is in the scheme
Of war, is an essential part Of the we'll
ordered navy Of the day.
The field Is very broad for the exer-
else Of generosity and benevolence in
matters and things which the Govern
ment does not supply for our soldiers
and sailors. It is therefore manifestly
unjust to weaken and exhaust benevo-
lence by calling upon the people to
bear the additional and very heavy
burden of purchasing and equipping a
hospital ship for the Philippines. What
ever is indispensable the Government
should supply and it will assuredly do
so. But it is waste of energy when
bepevolence is directed into un-
necessary channels, and the new prop
osition for the purchase Of a hospital
ship by popular subscription is pre-
cisely such direction.
The Government can have a hospital
ship in hand in twenty-four hours if it
wishes and it ought to desire it, and at
| once In two weeks time the ship can
be outitted and on it's way to the
| Orient. To induce the Government to
make such prompt provision will be
we'll directed energy-to attempt tc
drain from the people the money neces-
sary to secure and outfit such a ship
will be misdirected energy. Besides II
is unjust to communities to put a bur-
| den upon them through appeals to
their generosity to do that which the
Government representing the whole
people should do.

that she coaled the torpedo boat Ter
ror at Port de France and her English
engineers will testify to her career as a
naval collier. The vessels white paint,
however, is not the only thing that up
hlods her claim to be called a hospital
ship. She has physicians and nurses
aboard, beds for the sick and all the
modern surgical appliances. She be-
longs to Henderson of Glasgow, is
chartered by the Spanish Government,
is of 5000 tons, and has a speed OF
nearly fourteen knots.
CUBAN PATRIOTS.
San Carlos Hall in this city may be
called the Faneuil Hall of Free Cuba.
1t was here that the meeting was held
in 1895 when the final steps were taken
to begin the last rebellion against Spain.
The Cubans of Key West, most of them
very poor, have given every possible
penny of their earnings to the cause,
and many young Cubans have gone
from here to fight for Cuba. In fact,
young Cuban who had no helpless
person dependent upon him, and who
should remain in Key West, would
have no standing whatever in the Gu
ban colony. Most of the young I'M
| married Cubans have gone to Cuba
The aged mother of General Calixto
Garcia lives here in very humble Cir
cumstances. She has not seen her IA
nous son in eighteen years. Much OF
that time he has spent in prisons and
| in the fields. Mrs. Garcia is very
| warm admirer of General Fitzhugh
Lee, as is also Mrs. Alexander RoGri-
guez, wife of the commander of the
Cuban forces in Havana province. Gen-
eral Lee rescued her from the Span
| lard who sought to wreak vengeance
on her for the injury done to Spain by
her husband. Mrs Rodriguez came tc
Key West from Cuba.
| The parents, brothers and sisters OF
the late General Nestor Aranguren live
here. Two of the boys are with Gen
eral Lacret in Santiago province. Col
onel Arnao, Chief -of-Staff of General
| Diaz, and who has just arrived from
Cuba, is nephew of the elder Aran-
guren, and General Julio Sanguily, now
in the field in Cuba, Is a cousin of Mrs.
| Aranguren.
| The family of General Bonachea7
| who was executed at Manzanillo in
1889, having been captured while Try
| ing to land a filibustering expedition,
| lived here, and the Generals son is
fighting with the insurgents in Cuba.
| Angel Figueredo, Vice President OF
the local junta, is a son of General
Figueredo, who was executed at Santi-
ago during the ten years war. Angel
/ Figueredo was child in the insur-
gents camps during the ten years
war. and has been fighting Spain for
| twenty-nine years, Hardly a Cuban
family in Key West has not a claim
! for blood-vengeance against Spain.

Seventeen years ago." says Mr..
Bryce. 'in addressing an American au-
dience, venteured to express the be-
lief that If ever England was hard
pressed by combination of hostile Eu-
ropean Powers, America would not
stand idle and unconcerned. The re-

my belief" When the sympathy of
race affects the relations Of States, 1t
becomes force of tremendous potency.
1t affects not only the Governments,
but the people themselves as individ-
uaIs. The war with Spain gave occa-
sion for an outburst in all England, not
of hatred against Spain, but of SYM
pathy for America, general and con-
spicuously spontaneous, and it was
promptly and generously reciprocated
in America.

MAGNETIC Iron Ore.

The entire product of the Champion
Iron Mine at Champion, Mich, has
been contracted for by a New York
concern. The Champion is supplying
solid slabs of magnetic iron ore, which
are being used to replace platinum as
anodes in the collection of chlorine gas.
The magnet oxide slabs have been
proved practically indestructible and
are better conductors of electricity than
any other agent thus far discovered.
Sixty tons have been exhausted in the
experiments at New York. Hereto
fore Russia has furnished the only
known magnetic oxide, but the Russian
product is said to be inferior to the
Michigan ore and the expense of inn
portation has greatly handicapped the
chlorine gas makers

England looks about her to ascertain
with which of the four Powers she has
most natural affinity and least nkeli-
hood of clash, and she finds unques-
tionably that one is the United States.
The English have always believed that
the special mission of America is to
build up a vast, free. Industrious, en-
lghtened and prosperous community
between the two oceans, and to set
other peoples the example of orderly
self-government. and the elevation of
the masses of the people to the highest
point of material weIl-being and intel

but Britain would regard it, so far as
her political and commercial positions
are concerned, with entire satisfaction.
Thus the English see no ground or
reason for political jealousy between
themselves and the Americans. But
the narrowing of the world and the
prominence of few great powers upon
lit, have intensified the self-conscious-
ing in each a stronger sense Of unity
One of the four races representing five
great powers, has embodied itself in
two of these powers, and has built up
the American Republic and the British
oceanic empire. Even the Teuton and
the Cet in the American system are
mostly drawn from the same sources as
are the people Of the British Isles.
These are nodded into the normal
American type, which differs less from
the British normal type than the Eng
lishman of Hampshire from Scotcnman
of Fife, or the Irishman of Galway.
The influences of climate and insti-
tutions which tend to differentiate them
are less potent than the influences Of
literature and thought which tend to
assimilation. So. when the English
speak of foreigners, they never mean
Americans. They speak of them as of
themselves; as of the Anglo Saxon race,
the best term we have to embrace the
thought. The pride Of occupation, de-
velopment of the earth's surface and
intensified race consciousness drawing
Englishrnen and Americans nearer to-
gether, as partners and fellow workers
In a great common cause of progress.
Even in the time of the rebellion the
masses of the English sympathized with
the North, because they felt that it
stood most for human rights and free
| dom, though some of the wealthier
classes and some Of the press
said unpleasant things of the
Union cause, some times con-
veying the erroneous impression
| that they spoke the voice of the ma
ton. This was partly due to ignorance

full raid of the bears. That there was
very large short selling during the day
was evident from the strength of the
rallies caused by the covering of shorts
when the turning point at the low level
was reached. This was particularly
noticeable in some of the greatest ia
vorites of recent speculation which have
been pushed up to prices hardly war
ranted by their intrinsic value. The
knowledge possessed by the bears of
very heavy speculative holdings in those
stocks covered by light margins gave
them confidence in fiercely selling them
down. The support of the bulls no
sooner effected check to the decline
than realizing offers began to come out
again. There was an abundant supply
of long stock fed into the market all
day long and it was evident that the
bulls had abandoned an immediate cam
paign for a rise as hopeless. How far
the speculative holdings for rise were
liquidated to-day remains to be seen. 1t
seems sufficiently evident, however, that
as soon as this liquidation can be CON
Guided, prices of securities will be left
