Our warships Are Said to BE Unable to

LONDON, May 26.-The Madrid cor
respondent of The Daily Mail says:
Official kilograms from Cuba con-
firm the report that Rear Admiral
Sampson and Commodore Schley, with
their combined squadrons, are now in
front of Santiago de Cuba, bockading
Admiral Cervera. Ministers consider
that Santiago possesses sufficient de-
fenses to meet any aggressive action
the enemy may take.
The position Of the American squad
ron will cause the government to take
immediate action, though it is unknown
as yet what form this action will as
sure Rumors that a battle has al
ready occurred are officially denied
Great Importance is attributed to
the latest news from the Philippines
respecting the Spanish plan Of mobil-
iZatiOn."

Mr.. Howard Informed.

Editor OF the Press.
SIR:-In the last issue of the PRESS |
notice an article signed Josiah How
ard. In this article Mr. Howard refers
to some outrageous cuttin's up on
Clear Creek, and appears to think our
churches and schools are in some way
responsible for this sad state of things.
Now it seems hardly fair to blame
the churches of our town for these
carryin's on, for you know we cannot
force our religion on any one, and
very likely these people have never
known their Savior.
AS he evidently desires some advice
in the matter l would respectfully sug-
gest to brother Howard that he tell his
troubles to a policeman.
Yours truly,
e. O. BARDWELL.

Hon. G. w. Stones chances for the
nomination for Governor were given a
good boost last week, having gained
eighteen delegates last Saturday alone.
With such counties as Lancaster, Wash

the convention with strong following

Among those who are Of the opinion
that w. A. Stone will not be nominated
for Governor the impression seems TO
be growing that G. w. Stone of War

argued that he has a number of dele
gates instructed for him and that he is
generally regarded as a Republican
who would command the support of

OF DR.. fowler for the legislature is
simple justice to an honorable gentle
man, who conscientiously and zealously

sion Of '91. His conceded ability as

Gus vote of Forest. DR.. fowler will
credtably fill the chair so ably occupied

In rlenorium.

Mrs. FLORENCE L. STRAWBRIDGE,
wife Of George Strawbridge, of Sterl-
ing Run, Pa, died at Johnsonburg,
Pa, aged 35 years, one month and two
days. She went to Johnsonburg, Jan.
9th, 1898, on a visit to the family of
Mr.. Jas. Strawbridge and took
seriously ill Jan. 18th and, although
everything was done for her that
medical skill and loving hands could
do to arrest the disease, she passed
peacefully and triumphantly away May
18th.
When about 20 years of age she gave
her heart to God and her name to the
M. E. Church, of which she remained
member until the close of her beauti-
full and useful life.
She was married to George Straw
bridge, Oct. 26th, 1887. To this happy
marriage was born two interesting
little girls now left to continue their
course in life without the love and
counsel of a mother.
Those who witnessed the patience
and christian fortitude which she
evinced in the closing hours of her life
were wonderfully impressed. But hers
was an amiable and sweet christian
life, and its close could not be other
wise. She was universally loved by
those who knew her and doubtless did
not have an enemy.
Impressive funeral services were
held in the NJ. e. Church at Sterling
Run, May Dist, by her pastor, Rev. NJ.
c. Piper, of Sinnemahoning, assisted
by Rev. Jelbert, Of Johnsonburg, and
Rev. S. Ebersole, of Sterling Run, and
attended by an unusually large con-
course of people, showing the high
esteem in which she was held by the
community.
Her remains were laid to rest in the
beautiful cemetery at Sterling Run, to
await the resurrection of the just when
we hope to meet her again never to
know separation.

ALABAMA APPO|N MENTS Giving the Senate a Great Deal
 of Trouble. BRYAN'S CONFIRMATION Will Be Fought by Mabson and Waker-For- mer Camping on Youngblood's Trail
 Many Charges Being Considered.
CONFIRMATION
Special to The Age-Herald.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Senator Gear, act today on the charges filed against the nominees for Alabama postofice The character of the appointee for the post office at Tuskegee was assailed by the "outs," who attempted to secure an un- favorable report. Senator Gear now has the case under consideration and will make a report tomorrow or Friday.
 Further hearing will be given tomorrow, when the charges against the nominees for Mobile, Montgomery and Tuscaloosa will be investigated. The judiciary com :.sttee has made a unanimous report for favorable action for the nomination of Bryan for marshal. The appointment of Siutchins for postmaster at Huntsville has been decided upon, and nomination will be ssnt to the senate in a few days.
 Charges made by Walker and Mabson against Bryan were heard and considered, but the committee has decided to make a favorable report. Walker says he will carry the fight into the executive session of the senate and says he will yet defeat Bryan As the senate usually accepts the report of it's committee as final Bryan's confirmation is probable.
 Col. A. A. Mabson will eventually run for congress against Stallings. He is by no means certain that the time is ripe.
 ''There is no use to try to defeat a dem ocrat with anybody but a republican," he said to me today when I asked him what he hoped to get out of all this fighting he is doing here. He is camping on Young blood's trail with the persstency of an Indian. He never lets up. and will not un- til the last of the Youngblood appointees is either confirmed or rejected.
 ''It has been given out that I am here fighting Mckinley" he s<I "That is not true. I am still for Mckinley, as I have always been, but do not propose to stand by and see his enemies and mine rewarded if can help it.
 q don't waM office myself, at least an appointive office. I would rather be a member of the Alabama legislature and get paltry s2O0 a year than hold any ap- pointfve office and hold my commission at the will of diminlltive autocrat who could cut my head off with pen"
 Colonel Mabson says he thinks Colonel Moseley will make the race for governor. 'He is the best man we could put up. He wants to make the race, too. He is a good talker and popular with the people. We will certainly have a state convention and then it will be seen who the men are in Alabama who are in the republican party for something else besides few offices We will nominate straight republican ticket and welcome all who care to come under our banner, but we will not form any entangling alliances with anybody or any party"
