Pensacola ordering me out of the Flor
idas or he would Oppos force TO force
and drive me out of the territory of
Spain"
Jacksn regarded this boast of owe
as proof positive of the treacherous ly-
ing of the governor in saying that the
; ndian were too strong for his weak
garrison. So he marched on to PenSa-
. cola forthN 18th and took formal posses
sion of it in the NAME of the United
StateSi
The governor fled to Fort Carlos de
; Barrancas. There he thought himself
! safe from this terrible Jackson. For
he never imagined for a mOmen THAT
| even such a high handed person as
| Jackson would dare try to AXE by
| force the fort of a power that was pre-
| tending to be at peace With the United
| states.
But Jackson was hot upon his heels.
Il demanded possession of the fort,
to be held by American troops until a
| guarantee could be given for the Safe
ty of the frontier. This vas refused.
II approached the Barrancas with
one 9-poung piece n five S-inch
hOWitZerS. They opened their batteries
upon me. 1t was returned spiritedly.

d. Spain was now pOwerlesS beneath
the heel of Jackson. Her savage allies
soon yielded to Jackson's sharpshoot-
| ers. The real wan with Spain was over.
But the diplomatic war, which usu-
ally precedeS the real war, had to fol-
low in this Case, thanks to jackson.
| And how it did rage in Florida, i'm
Washington, in Madrid! Spain was
| furious, and many Americans said
that Jackson had really gone too far.
But the up-hot vas that the United
| States government diSavOWei JacksOn's
acts, restored the forts, and thanked
Jackson publicly n prOfusely for end
| ing the alliance of Spanish perfidy and
Indian savgery.
The quotations from Jackson used
| above are in a letter which Jackson
| sent to a, friend at Washington for use
in his defense. This brief account of
| JacksOn's splendid war with Spain can
mot be ended more fittingly than with
the closing paragraph of JacksOn'S let
| ter:
"All I regret is that I did NOT storm
the works, capture the governor, put
| him on trial for the murder of the
| Stokes family, and hang nm for the
deed.
Il could adopt no other way Cto put
an end to the war; but by possessing
| myself of the StrOnghOlds that were a
refuge to the enemy and afforded them
| the means of offense.

FOR A NAVAL RESERVE.
A Bill Prepared for Presentation to the
Next Legislature.


A bill for the formation of State ma
val reserve is now at the Adjutant Gen.
erals office at the State House, and will
be ready when the Legislature assemblies
to be presented with the generals and the
other officers hearty approval.
The general says there will probably
be no appropriation asked for, but rather
the formation Of such a body will be
made clear AMI legal, as we'll as all the
laws relating to it. Furthermore it may
be recommended that the State ask that
Congress make some appropriation as
well as furnish some ship for the pur-
pose. AS Congress will doubtless take
some action that will affect the seacoas
States in the way of the naval reserves,
it will be but step by the passing OF
such an act by the State in the right di-
recuion.
General Richards would not approve
the idea of having another Montauk or
any ship of that descri ption. bis IDEA
would be to advise that some converted
yacht or steamer be used, which would Dc
armed with modern guns. Maine could
easily have one OF the best reserves In the
service. by drawing upon the ranks OF the
fishermen of the State. who have from
boyhood up followed the sea, and then
there are many others in the cities who
would like to join them. The great
trouble would be that there would be an
over.abundance of applications for places
in the ranks, especially of the officers.
Whatever may be done in the way OF
the reorganization of the Guard this win
ter, General Richards will not, SO it is
said, favor the incorporation OF cavalry
troops or light batteries, as he does not
think Maine is the place for them.
Though he is cavalrynan himself, be
would officially oppose the formation OF
those two branches. What he wants, he
says, are two good regiments of infantry,
with. each member having an earnest
sense of his responsibility, and with
true soldiers disdain OF feathers.
