The members of the naval reserve who
have been notified that their services are
needed are not al all pleased with the idea
that they must enlist in the navy before
they can be assigned TO duty. They de-
clare that they are entirely willing to go
into active service whenever the govern
ment wants them, but they prefer to go as
militia, and under the officers which they
have chosen. A detachment of the Massa-
chusetts reserves was sent 10 New York
last week to man the auxiliary cruiser
Prairie. and on Monday, when they discov-
cred that they were expected to enlist reg
ulary, and that some of them might be
placed upon one ship and some on another.
they manifested very strong disposition
to refuse to resign from the militia and en-
list.
The New Jersey naval reserves also OBJ
ject to having their battalion broken up,
as it would be, in all probability, if they
York battalion has expressed its dlssatis-
faction.
The announcement has been made that
as far as practicable the different organi-
cations will be kept intact, but that does
not seem 10 satisfy the men They want an
understanding that would be binding, and
it does not seem to be in the power of any
| body to give them that. There is no doubt
of their desire to see active service, and
some of the organizations are well quail
fed to discharge the duties for which they
are needed, having had excellent training
on cruisers and battle ships at one time
and another during the last two or three
years, but they do not think they ought to
be required 10 give up their organizations
and have their identity lost in the navy.
! II is quite natural that they should take
the view Of the matter mat they do, but il
must be apparent to them that what they
ask is irppracticable. AS much as They
can reasonably expect Is that their organ
izations shall be kept intact to as great an
extent as possible under the circumstances
IL would be better also for the service 10

placed on ships with men who have been
thoroughly trained and know exactly what

A recent cable report from Madrid is Of
a character well calculated to deepen the
yellow of the. yellow journals by at least
three degrees of shade. The story is to the
effect that Spain has forwarded to this
country on a warship a submarine boat
having capacities which discount the pos-
sibilities OF the Baltimore wonder-the Hol-
land The Spanish boat. according to the
yarn. is able to dive and stay under water
at least forty-eight hours, and is provided
with nippers powerful enough to cut any
ships cable orsany submarine wire. 1t can
also be hitched on to the PROV of any war
ship, and viii safely pilot her through a
harbor strewn with mines. Beyond this, it
can fire off about any sort of projectile
that has ever been produced by the genius
Of inventors of war apparatus. With so
much for the ground work, the yellow
journals ought to be able to compile a hor-
ror story that would considerably increase
the street sales. Meantime, it is not con-
firmed that Spain has any such submarine
boat.

In a crowd of twenty, says the New
York Press, one spoke: I'm for Fitz-
hugh Lee, I don't care whether he is a
son of Robert E. or mott
''Well, he is not a son of Robert e, but
a cousin" said another.
ooh, come off," sneered third. He's
Bobs nephew
That's right" put in a fourth. His
father was Sidney Smith Lee, BROTHER
of Bob and son of Light Horse Harry
You can set that down as correct"
A fifth man, one who generally knows
what ne is talking about, and is regarded
as an oracle said:
do you fellows know that Fitz Lee is
a graduate of Annapolis?"
'West Point West Point chorused all.
mot on your lives" was the rejoinder.
at is generally supposed that he did
graduate at the Military Academy, but
that is where the American people are all
wrong. Fitzhugh Lees father had him
educated for the navy, but after the war
broke out F'itz resigned and went into the
army"
II don't believe it," ventured a bold in
truder. The rest of the crowd had yielded
10 the oracle, who maintained his lpropo-
sition by offering to bet.
"A drink for the whole crowd that Lee
was graduated at Annapolis" he said
"Takeni" said the other. The wager
was booked.
OF course we all know that Lee was
graduated at the West Point Military
Academy in 1856, fourth in a class of 40
Counting from the bottom" as he him
self iocularly puts it. Though his father
was a distinguished naval officer he pre-
ferred the army.

The explosion a the great powder works
in California, as reported in our dispatches
yesterday draws attention to the fact
that only few days ago a suspicious fire,
,of supposed incendiary origin, menaced
the powder magazine at Delaware city,
Del, and that because of the presence of
suspicious strangers in the vicinity the
managers of the Dupont powder works
have placed strong guard around their
mills. 1t must be a desperate character
that will attempt the destruction of pow
der mill or magazine; but war always de-
velops characters that are desperate
enough to undertake any enterprise which
promises i'll to an enemy.

Capt. Sampson Of the squadron at Ha-
vana has asked the navy department what
he shall do with possible prize ships OF
heavy draught which cannot be disposed
of handily in Florida ports. The reply OF
the department has not been made public
Meantime, it is not out of place to say
that such prizes could be sent to Savan-
nah. There is plenty of water on the Sa-
vannah bar and in Tybee Roads for the
accommodation of any craft that the
blockading squadron will catch, and there
is an abundance of room in the roads for
all the prizes that may be captured In
a whole campaign. Let the prizes be sent
to Savannah. the great seaport of the
South Atlantic.

CONSTANTLY
Baby Badly Afflicted with Eczema.
Hands, Face, and Clothes
Covered with Blood.
Face Covered with Large Sores.
Medical Treatment Useless.
Cured by Cuticura.
SKIN NOW SMOOTH AND ROSY.

My niece's little baby boy, two years old,
was so badly afflicted with Eczema that he
needed constant watching. 1t was all over
his face, and he scratched the sores con-
stantly. Mornings, his clothes would be
stained with blood, and his face and hands
would be covered. His family never could
take him out, as his face was always full OF
large sores. They had medical treatment, and
tried everything they heard of. She COM
menced using the CUTIcpRA REMEDIES last
spring and found that at last she had won
derfu1 healer. The sores left his face and he
was entirely cured, and now his face is as
smooth and rosy as though no sore had ever
been there to mar it. Mrs. L. j. ROOT,

1t was to be expected that both Fitz-
hugh Lee and Capt Slgsbee would ignore
the challenge TO duels. addressed to them
by Lieut.. Ramon de Carranza, of Spain.
The young Spaniard took offense because
they expressed the opinion that the Maine
was blown up and destroyed by Span
iards. A duel. or two duels, or
a succession Of duels. would not prov,
either that the Maine was or was not the
victim Of Spanish treachery. Further
more. the United States government has
better use for the fighting capacities Of
both Lee and siggbce than la meeting
opinionated young spaniards. II the dons
wish 10 fight, let them get In the ranks
Of their country'E army. In that position
they would soon get enough fighting 10
satisfy any longing on their part. 10 an

The American blockade in Cuba extends
for some 100 miles. That, of course, does
not begin TO cover the coast line of the
island. ii may be asked why is not the
whole coast blockaded? There are two
reasons why. The first Is that 1t would
take a greater feet than we have to &C.
compIsh that purpose; and the next is
that such an extensive blockade is hardly
necessary. The Spanish strength is con.
centrated in and around Havana, while
the eastern end of the island is virtually
controlled by the insurgents. If the
United States bottle up Havana and Ma.
tanzas, and one Of two other ports, the
insurgents can be depended upon to keer
supplies from reaching the Spaniards
through the other parts of the island.

fact that every amateur poet in the coun-

The gunners at Moro Castle should not

what they were shooting at precisely,
Americans should not jump to the conclu-

probably bored great holes in the Atlantic
ocean.

The war between the United States and
Spain, as far as it has gone is not a
combat between nation, of more than TO-
100000 of people and a nation of about 49,
100000 of people, one nation rich and the
other poor. Under existing circumstances
the fight is between two navies, of about
equal strength, each well equipped and
each manned by sailors depended upon
to win or die At this stage of the
war. it is not an unequal contest. After
awhile however, the superior resources
Of the United States will begin to tell and
SPAN Will be at disadvantage which
she cannot overcome.
