FIGHTING BOB" EVANS.

When Captain Hare, of Fort Hua-
chuca, was in Tucson recently as q
witness in the case against Rodgers, an
expriva'e in his company, the blowing
up of the Maine was Interestingly dis
cussed by the captain, aud incidentally
some reference was made to "Fight1ng
Bob" Evans.
"Yes, I've seen Evans" said Captain
Hare in reply to a question put by
some member of the crowd that gath
cred in Marshall Griffith's Office, land
he is Fighting Bob" sure enough.
Some times 1 wish he had had a vessel
in Havana harbo- when the Maine was
blown up. Maybe be wouldn't have
had an opportunity to do anything, but
1 rather guess the Spaniards wouldn't
do any fooling with him."
SHOW did he get the name Of Fight
ing Bob?'" asked one.
"He won that name at Valparaiso"
replied Captain Hare. BE was there
in command of the little Yorktown. A
hostile feeling prevailed there against
America, and the Yorktown became
he asylum of certain political refugee.
The commanding officer at Valparaiso
of the Chilian forces requested the ad-
miral of one OF the European squad
rOus to say to Evans that unless the
refugees were surrendered the York
town would be followed to sea by
number of war ships, and as soon as
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1898-04-19

the marine league was cleared, heave
the yorktown to and demand the fugi-
tives. Evans explained the situation
to the refugees, and told them that ii
he were attacked by the GILLIAN fleet
he would be overpowered, but that
as long as he was afoat he
would protect them if they
chose to stay. They said they would
take their chances with him, and he
told the admiral that he would not
surrender the men. The sdmiral then
threatened that the Yorktown would
be followed, and that if the three big
Gillian ships attacked him the York
town wouldn't last thirty minutes. In
reply Evans cent word to the Gillian
comm uder that while his little boat
might not last thirty minutes it would
make HI of lot of trouble while
she was sf1oat.'
81 don't know whether or not the
message was delivered in those words,
but do know that Bob Evans and his
little Yorktown left Valparaiso Bay
the next day with all the refugees on
board, and that no Gillian ship follow
ed him. And l guess it's good thing
they did't; for if they had Bob Evans
would have given them just what he
promised. and they knew it You bet
he's fighter" added Captain Hare as
he was called to go to the court room.

OUR NATIONAL FINANCES.
From a Monetary Standpoint the q. s
is Ready for War.
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
Washington, April 10, 1898
Thanks to the wisdom of MAORI Y
of the voters of the United States in
1896, the finances of the nation are to-
day in satisfactory condition for war,
il war must come.
Despite the assertion OF the Chicago
convention and its candidate in 1896,
that no material increase could come
to our currency without free coinage
of silver, the United States has today
more money in circulation than ever
before; more gold than ever before,
and her people have more money in
bank, which they can loan to the gov
erument, should it find itself compelled
o issue bonds. The people of the
United States are now better able to
fund, whether it is gathered from
Among them by taxation or by loan, or
both, than ever before in the history
of the country. The total money in
circulation on April LIST, was according
to the treasury figures, 81, 1876, 05S. 645
while the latest statement of the
treasury department shows the avail
able cash balance in the treasury in
GLIDING the gold reserve, to be S225,-
900, 600.
Fortunately, the money in circula-
q months, the gold in the treasury
aud in the country has increa ed, and
the funds held by the people which
hey would be. willing to loan to the
government by purchase of bonds
nave also increased. The money iE
circulation is $246. 333, 900 greater than
when the Chicago convention demand
ed moro money and insisted that
ootbing but free silver could supply it:
ha cold In niro,lofinr fnAou in a
very face of a wsr,is $125, 900 900 great
er than at that time, and the reports
of private, State and National banks
show the heaviest deposits in their
history.
Add to this, the fact that govern.
ment bonds rawing low rate of in
terest, are selling far above their face
value even thong b redeemable within
a comparatively short term of years,
aud it will be seen that the desire of
the average citizen to invest his money
in government securities ia general
and strongly marked and that q call
upon the people of the country for
funds, in case of need for war purposes,
would be promptly and generously met
from the unusually larg- sum of money
now in circulation and the unusually
large amountdeposited in the banks of
the country.
The following table. showing the
amount of gold and the total amount of
money of all k nds in circulation on the
first day of each month since July l.
1896, is especially interesting at this
lime, showing, as it does, pot only the
increase in gold and general circula-
ton since the financial declar atoms of
the Chicago Convention, but at the
same time the fortunate financial con-
dition of the country at the present
moment in case of necessity for raising
war funds among its own people. The
figures are taken from the official re-
cords OF the treasury depart
ment.

SOUTHERN POLITENESS.
A North IN Man Relates an Experience
i'm New Orleans.

in New Orleans.
81 was given good example of
southern politeness the other night
said gentleman from the north. II
had gone to the Comus ball, and had
agreed to escort lady home. She was
also stranger in the city, and was
stopping with some friends on Bourbon
street. about three blocks the other
side of the opera BOISE. AS it was on
ly short distance, we decided to walk.
1 was, of course, totally unacquainted
with the street, ard when we had left
the lights of the opera house I felt
very much at sea. The houses were
dark, aud I could not see the number
and it was only by number that the
as she had only been there
once. Ahead of me was a small man.
I asked him If he knew where the num-
Der was. He answered very politely
that he did not, but was going that way
and would help me hunt. He told IN
other man in front of him about it, and
that man told some of his friends. In
few minutes these gentlemen had
formed an advance guard in our in
terest. We walked calmly behind,
while they went in front on either side
of the street, striking matches and
looking for the mum her. There were
eight of them, and their matches
would go off one after the other. It
was regular hambeau parade. 1 was
overcome. "Here it ISL shouted an
advance scout. We approached the
house repidly, and found the eight
gentlemen standing before. 1t was al
most with emotion that I raised my
hat and thanked them for their offo-ts
Nothing at all', they said politely,
and the entire eight raised their hats
and walked into the darkness."-

only $3.50, 900, 900, or one-fifth of
what it is today. Then the money in
circulation was less than $3.50, 900, 900,
or one-fifth of what it is today, and the
amount per capita of $1O.96, against
$3.50 per capita today, IS shown by
the la est statement of the treasury
deps rtment. The money in circula-
tion is more than double today what it
was in April, 1879, while the fact that
the latest report of the comptroller Ct
the currency shows larger sums Of
deposit in the national banks than
ever before in the history OF the coun-
try, indicates that the people are in
condition to respond to calls for loans
to the government, should occasion re-
quire such call.
When the financial condi' ion, in the
face of war rumors, is cOntrasted with
what it would have been by this time
had free silver president and con-
gress been thirteen months in control
of the government, there is reason for
thankfulness that the verdict OF 1896
was as it was.
