BATTLE Of MANILA.
How Porto Rico Heard of It From Eel Her
aldo, May 4.

aldo, May 4.
All brave men.
We know now how the Yankee
fights.
On sea neither his vessels, with nick
ell steel armor, nor his many cannon of
20 centimetre calibre, are of any use
to him.
Montojo, the heroic Montojo, in COM
mand of few vessels, some mere pom
tooms, gave the valiant Americans the
finest drubbing registered in naval
chronicles.
Back to Hong Kong will 60 the il
lustrious hogs with dropping snouts,
endeavoring to fill up the holes which
our Insignificant cannon made in the
|invulnerable armor of their ships.
And on land?
All! On land it is the strangest and
most surprising things that our readers
can imagine.
Two armorclads, three cruisers, six
launches armed with mitrailleuses and
cannons, five lighters full of dirty and
greasy Yankees all this was directed
toward Spanish soil and proceeded
noisily to Mariel.
But at Mariel were the Corona rifle
men, gallant battalion that received
the hog at fair range.
And, oh! Cowardice never before
seen those armorclads, those cruisers,
those launches, and these militiamen
turned tail to the land and placed all
their hopes in flight, thus saving their
skins
Cowards! When the women of
Kentucky or of New York hear of this
they will present you with their best
petticoats.
And those Yankee women will be
no worse looking for so great shame,
for even in time of peace they are
worse than China woman.
It's all right!
A beating in the Philippines, beat
ing in Cuba, a beating everywhere.
And when are you coming here,
you big thieves
Our cannon are yawning at having
to keep their months open so long.
Come, arrive, robbers of Portuguese
ladies'.
We are waiting to cut off your
snouts.
Europe and America are laughing
with open jaws at these mule-slaying
warriors, who flee from the guns of
Havana and Puerto Rico, and instead
burn with jets of steam unfortunate
and defenceless passengers.
What shame!
If these gentlemen come here we
shall have firstclass harvests in coming
years, as our fields will be splendidly
manured with the grease of hogs and
the bones of mules. Come, towards
1t is said that the American guns
are of very great range.
But what! There is compensation
for everything in this world.
And in exchange, the sailors who
have to handle these guns are persons
of very little range.
So one thing makes up for the other.
Taking this into account, it is easy
to explain why in the bombardment OF
Matanzas, now celebrated in the annals
of modern history, no projectile fell
even by mistake within the circuit of
the city nor within the Notifications OF
the coast
In so ignorant manner
The aforesaid fleet fired
That, oh heavens, only
One bad mule it slew.

OFFICERS MUST EXPLAIN
Why They Do Not Get Rain Coats.
The New Amendments

Chief Glass yesterday reported to the
police commission a list Of nineteen off,
GERS who have neglected to comply with
the boards order Of last week that all
members Of the force should call immedi-
atey at Newman & Co.'S and secure the
rain coats ordered some time ago. Com
missioner Preuss made a motion that the
chief notify the men that If they do not
obey before next week they will be fined.
Commissioner Gibbon favored amending
the motion so that the officers shall be re-
quired to appear before the commission
and explain in case they fail to purchase
the garments this week. Mr.. Preuss ac-
cepted the amendment and as motion 1t
prevailed.
The matter of electing officers to succeed
ex-Policemen Spencer and Blackburn was
brought up and Commissioner Gibbon nom
mated Special Policeman ]. C. German as
one of the candidates for appointment, but
requested that action in the matter be de-
iayed for two weeks as he expected to be
absent for that time. Commissioner Nc
Lain nominated ]. T. Birch, formerly a
member of the fire department. 1t was con-
tended by Mr.. Gibbon that the board sew
eral months ago agreed that all appoint
ments to the regular force should be made
from the list of specials, but the other
members Of the commission had no recol-
lection Of such an agreement. Birch's ap-
plication also went over. Meanwhile both
will undergo an examination as to their
mental and physical qualifications.

OUR SPECIAL EDITION.

On or about February 28 an edition of 10000 copies of The Republican will be issued devot- ed largely to a concise statement of the great mineral resources of this territory. Much of the future of this section depends on it's mines, and the attention of capitalists should be call ed to them; this we will endeavor to do in a correct and comprehensive manner. We will also give review of the agricultural industries, and a fund of general information which we hope will attract the bulk of westward bound immigration this way and at the same time show the enterprise of a paper that has labored and ever will labor to build up and develop Arizona. This edition will not be illustrated to any great extent, nor will it be a souvenir edition; simply a newspaper containing an abundance of facts without exaggeration.

 A prospector seated upon the hurri- cane deck of a burro passed up Washington street last night. The burro was blinded by the glare of the electric lights and frightened by the fantastic shadows they threw on the street. The shadows moved with every flicker of the arc light and the burro doged about with the agility of a bucking broncho. To add to the dis comfiture of the little fellow the small boy started his war whoop and some who were not boys took it up until there was deafening chorus of yells. Finally sudden instinct on the part of the arc light, probably impelled by a spirit of sympthy for the burro, the intensified shadow of a telegraph post was swung across the street toward the burro. The club the rider used to punch his steed was a futile weapon, but the telegraph post came to his as sistance. When the burro saw the big shadow coming it started up the street at breakneck speed and never stopped until he got away from the last glare of the electric lights.

The bridled horse held back as much as he could with the other horse pulling the wagon into his heels at every jump.

GERMAN DISCRIMINATION.

American agricultural products seem 1 to act on German agrarians like a red rag on a bull. But if the German gov ernment sees fit to exclude American fruit, meats or animals it should be honest enough to give the true req sons and not to invent lying islanders I to cover it's deeds.
 l The decree excluding American fruit has been modified in short order | owing to the peremptory protest of Minister White. But the restrictions are still obnoxious and the issuance of the original order was proof of the spirit of bitter prejudice. The alleged infection of the fruit was entirely inn aginary. The experts of the agricul- tural department state that the Cali fornia fruit is the freest from verm1n of any in the whole country, and that there is little or no ground for the assertion that American fruit shipped abroad is unsanitary." If Germany wishes to protect German fruit rais- CTS let it put duty on the imported
 
 tation on false grounds calculated to discredit that fruit in other European countries.
 That unjust measure has been fol- lowed up by movement to exclude American horses and this latter movement is equally unreasonable, the influenza alleged being only a pretext.
 For years our pork was excluded from German markets and it was only through the unremitting labors of Andrew D. White, when formerly min ister to Germany, supplemented by the efforts of Levi P. Morton, minister to France, where he labored for a simi- lar object, the restrictions finally were removed and our hog products admit ted to Germany and France
 Recently Germany's unfriendliness to the United States has become more conspicuous than ever. The tone of her press, the criticism of her public men, from Bismarck down, all pointed to another outbreak of unfriendly spirit. It has come, however, from an unexpected direction and the fact that our fruits have been selected as the object of attack shows that not much care or discrimination was used in selecting the point of assault
 It is said that there is nothing po- litlcal in this discrimination, that the fruits are excluded because they con- tain insects and other vermin that Germany fears to have introduced on her soil. On the other hand it is claimed by experts that California fruit, which will suffer most from this exclusion act if it is kept in force, is s1ngularly free from worms, etc.
 The action of the German govern ment has aroused much indignation in Washington, and a great deal of hot talk is heard of retaliation. Our trade with Germany is large and growing. During the year 1897 our imports from that country amounted to nearly $1OO,- 000,000, an increase of several millions of dollars over the imports of the pre- ceding year. We import wines, hos iery, shoddy, cutlery and many other articles. which we might get along without if Germany should persist in closing her markets to our products.
