What Bismarck Says.

A recent Berlin dispatch quotes some
of the late sayings of Bismarck in rels-
ton to Mckinley and the Cuban ques-
ton, as follows:
Mckinley has shown superior states
manship by calming public excitement.
The exaltation Of the American mind
concerning Cuba is not quite understood
in Europe, yet it is true that there are
Spanish jingoes as we'll as Yankee in
goes. The Spanish standpoint,is media
eval. Spain's atrocities in Cuba, her
misgovernment al home and her treat
ment Of captives are fresh in our recol-
lection. Spain is on the very verge of
bankruptcy. She cannot rely on any
support except, possibly, from France
or Italy. We sympathize with the
grievances of the Cuban insurgents and
/ prophecy that Cuba will soon become
an independent republic by diplomatic
means"

ARE YOU TO LIVE I'm ALASKAp
Some Requirements that will be Found
Indispensable.


Indispensable.
The universal article diet in that coun-
try, depended upon and indispensable,
is bread or biscuit. And to make the
bread and biscuit, either in the camp or
upon the trail, yeast cannot be used-it
must be baking powder; and the powder
manufactured by the processes of the
Royal Baking Powder Company, miners
and prospectors have learned, is the
only one which will stand in that pecu-
liar climate OF cold ara dampness and
raise the bread and biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska and
the Yukon country to know, for should
he be persuaded by some outitter to
take one of the cheap brands of baking
powder, it will cost just as much TO
transport it, and then when he opens it
for use, after all his labor in packing it
over the long and difficult route, he will
find solid caked mass or lot of spoil
ed powder, with no strength and useless.
Such a mistake might lead to the most
serious results. Alaska is no place in
which to experiment in food, or try to
economize with your stomach. For use
in such a climate, and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor in that country, everything must
be the best and most useful, and
above all it is imperative that all food
supplies shall have perfect keeping
qualities. 1t is absurd to convey over
such difficult and expensive routes an
article that will deteriorate in transit, or
that will be found when required for
use to have lost great part of it's value.
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice OF those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called
"the father Of Alaska" after an expert.
ence Of years upon the trail, in the
camp, and in the use Of every kind of
supply. says: 1--WE find in Alaska that
the Importance Of a proper kind of baG-
ing powder cannot be oversstimated.
A miner with can of bad baking pow
der is almost helpless ia Alaska. We
have tried all sorts, and have been
obliged to settle down to use nothing
but the Royal. 1t is stronger and car
ries further, but above all things, it is
the only powder that will endure the
severe climatic changes of the arctic
region"
1t is for the same reasons that the U.
s. government in its relief expeditions,
and Peary, the famous arctic traveller,
have carried the Royal Baking Powder
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose it's strength either on
board ship or in damp climates, and is
the most highly concentrated and effici-
ent Of leavening agents. Hence it is
indispensable to every Alaskan outfit.
1t can be had of any of the trading com
panies in Alaska, but should the miner
procure his supplies before leaving. he
should resist every attempt of the out
filter to palm off upon him any Of the
other brands of baking powder, for they
will spoil and prove the cause Of great
disappointment and trouble.

QUANTITY OF POWDER MOVED To Winchester Arms Company's Powder
 House From Long Wharf.

Yesterday afternoon the Winchester Repeating Arms company moved a large quantity of powder from a barge at Long wharf to the powder house of the company. Permission to move the powder had been granted by Fire Mar shal Fancher, and the latter was at Long wharf to see that the regulations governing the moving of explosives within the city were compiled with. Among the regulations is one prohib- iting any person smoking, lighting a match or carrying fire within certain distance of the place where the explo- sive is being loaded.
 While men were busy taking the powder from the boat and loading it upon wagons Marshal Fancher noticed a man on a barge just the other side of the wharf who was smoking cig- arctic not forty feet distant from where the powder was being handled. The marshal ordered the man to stop smoking, but the fellow insisted that he had a right to smoke and said that he was captain of the barge on which he was sitting. Marshal Fancher then deftly licked the cigarette from the mans lips. The barge captain then threatened to have the marshal arrest ed for assault, but at last accounts he had not yet found a policeman who would arrest the marshal for perform ing his duty.

The relatives of Lieutenant Jen- kins have cabled: Send to Pittsburg," :" and this will be done. Captain Sigsbee made farewell calls to-day upon Gen. eral Blanco and Admiral Manterola. He repeated to the former his thanks for expressions of sympathy at the loss of the Maine and also for the aid given in rescuing at the time of the disaster requesting General Blanco to convey these sentiments to his subordinates The two officers parted with mutual assurances of esteem.

ON 4 WAR FOOTING.
Naval Reserves Drill on the wyandotte-
 Machine Gun Platoon Practice.


 The old monitor Wyandotte, anchor ed near Tomlinson bridge, was the scene of unusual activity last evening, when for the first time since she has been in New Haven harbor she was used by the First division of the Con. necticut Naval battalion for their weekly drill. The novelty of the event attracted considerable crowd of peo- pie, who lined the sides of Tomlinson bridge and watched curiously the un- usual proceedings aboard the boat. It was for no pleasure picnic that the 6i- vision was ordered to hold their weekly drill on board the Wyandotte. The men were ordered to report at the float at 7:45 o'clock in ship uniform (blue). As soon as the division were all aboard the boat they were divided up into working squads of proper size to learn some of the duties aboardship which cannot be acquired in armory drills, which are devoted mostly to infantry and artillery drills.
 A party of signalmen under Lieuten- ant Reynolds spent the time in very successful signal practice, one with torches, one party being stationed on the reservoir heights east of the harbor and the other party on the boat. The remainder of the division were divided into two squads, one of which was or dered to the mess room to receive in- struction in making knots. The ether squad was taken to the turret, where the men were formed into two gun crews, and each member of the crew was instructed in his duties in the handling of one of the two fifteen-inch guns.
 It was ten o'clock before the men were ordered into the boats to go ashore, having had two hours of hard drill The work last evening was thor oughly successful. There was some dis cussion as to what would be done with the Naval Reserves in case war with Spain should come. Some thought they would be put on the Wyandotte to pa trol the sound. One wag suggested that the government intended to fit out the Wyandotte as a submarine boat. Before leaving the boat the men were given some instruction by Lieutenant Commander Goodridge in ship eti- quette.
 At the armory last evening the Ma chine Gun battery awoke the echoes by firing one hundred rounds. The Foot Guard and the First Separate company held their weekly drills.
