nen of The Moment and Each Doing
His Duty in the Present Crisis.

In spite of the jingoes. and the
class of yellow journalism which
would rush this country into a for
eign war, in order that their .'ac-
counts of the situation might there
by be verified, the masses of the
people of this country are not at all
alarmed over the Cuban matter, nor
are they fearful Of Spain rushing over
and talking possession Of the United
States.
Ever since the first shock caused
by the destruction of the battleship
Maine, the people Of this country
have very sensibly and practically
recognized that it had wise men at
the head of their governmental af-
fairs. men who were competent to
protect the country and its interests
whatever might come.
And also most sensibly the people
of the country have thrown aside
politics when the nations honor was
threatened. and the people have
presented solid front to whatever
foe or danger that might appear.
President Mckinley Throughout
the various trying scenes since word
came of the Names blowing up. has
preserved a calm and dignitied front
He has shown himself a patriot, ;
President of a great nation, and with
out ostentatious display has made
the outside world see that the United
States would stand for the full main
tenance of her rights, regardless 0
| cost
In no particular has the Presiden
shown greater wisdom, than in his
appointment of Consul General Lee
to the important post at Havana.
And in General Lee. as in Presi
dent Mckinley, the people of thi:
entire country feel perfect conf
dence, and relying fully upon him
are satisfied that this country's in
terests will be perfectly secure.

prohibition Of the wearing of masks

they were allowed to wear masks,

DEAFNESS CAN NOrBE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an iniamed condition of the

When this tube gets intiamed you have a
rumbing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor

BEGINNING AGAIN.
(Author UnknOwn.)

When sometimes our feet grow weary
On the rugged hills of life.
The path stretched long and dreary,
With trial and labor rife,
We pause on the upward journey,
CHANGING backwar DER valley and glen
And sigh with an infinite longing
To return and begin again
Far behind is the dew of the morning.
With all its freshness and light,
And before Us are doubts and shadows
And the chill and gloom of the night;
And we think OF the sunny places
We passed so carelessiy then
And we sigh, 30, Father permit u'
TO return and begin again.
Yes. upward and onward forever
Be our paths on the hills Of life,
But ere long a radiant daWning
Will glOrify trial and strife,
And our Fathers hand will lead IL,
Tenderly upward then;
In the joy and peace Of the better world
He'll let US begin again"

board one of the American ships dur
 ing the Tortugas movement, says 2
 sham night attack for torpedo boats
 was made upon big battleships and
 cruisers. The latter were given no notice of the projected attack and there was no extra guards such as the American ships now maintain. But every torpedo boat engaged in the at tack was discovered long before it was within striking distance of the cruisers and battleships. One of the
 attacking torpedo boats was so be-
 wildered by the searchlights that it
 nearly ran into a cruiser. The les
 son drawn from this attack was that a sally by an enemy was impossible
 owing to modern methods of discov- ering an approach. It has also shown
 that the attacking fleet could not get
 within range, although it had come
 within range of the guns of the ships
 attacked. It is said that these ma neuvers at Tortugas and Key West
 practically represent the situation be- fore Santiago.
 If Cervera sent out his torpedo boats as' scouts they would be detected be- fore they had done any damage, and would be destroyed by small gunboats The American ships would have the advantage of concentrating their en- | tire fire upon one small passage. 4 night battle is quite unusual in naval annals, but it has occurred. It is believed that if Admiral Cervera at-
 tempts to escape he will choose the ! night for this movement. On the
 other hand, the naval officials are dis

SECURING THE PACIFIC.
For Transports to Carry Troops to the
 Philippines.

San Francisco, May 26.-The trans porting of 5O,00O troops to the Philip pines has set the government agents to work securing the Pacific ocean for transport vessels. So far only 2,600 troops have been sent to Ad- miral Dewey's assistance There are 1000 more in camp here, and 40,00G more to come. About fifteen more transports are required, together with a half dozen colliers.
 The second expedition will not leave San Francisco for fully three weeks unless transports are sent out by twos and threes In the latter event the Zealandia and the China Gf the big liner can be chartered), might be made ready to sail in about ten days time. So far as the Zealandia is con- cerned it will not take long to fit her up. The big steamer was lowed to the iron works yesterday where she will be docked and cleaned. In q few days the ship will be ready to re- ceive her supplies and men.
 The vessels so far secured for the second expedition are listed as follows: The China, will carry 1,500 men; the Centennial, 750 men; the Zealandia, 1000 men; the Ohio, 1000 men; the Peter Jobsen (renamed the Brutus) a collier, could be converted to carry about 300 men; the Ming Chow, the same as the Jebsen. The total num- Der of men will be 4,85O To this fleet must be added number of other yes sells capable of carrying the balance of the army of invasion. It is not

CAN HE GET AWAY?
Naval Experts Believe That Cervera
 Is at the End of His String.

Washington, May 26.-Naval off cers are now turning their attention to inquiries whether it is possible for Admiral Cervera to get out of San tiago harbor. They hold that this maneuver is impossible and being so, the career of the Spanish admiral IS at an end, so far as it constitutes a menace against our ships.
 IT WAS DONE ONCE.
 The British comment that Admiral Hornby in 1885 escaped with his entire feet from harbor under similar con- ditions, and that Admiral Cervera should be able to make his escape when he gets ready to do so is not ac- cepted. The naval view here is just the contrary. It is pointed out that Admiral Hornby escaped from an open bay, while Admiral Cervera must come through a channel about 300 yards wide on which American search lights will play constantly.
 AN EXPERIMENT.
 It is said that this is not mere con- lecture, but that the maneuvers when carried on at Key West and Tortugas a few months ago, furnished positive demonstration that Admiral Cervera cannot make an exit without being discovered. An officer who was or

VOLUNTEERS TO DATE.

Washington, May 26- Adiutant- General Corbin announced late tonight that the number of volunteers so far reported mustered was 11S,00o, and that enough were prepared for muste, to swell the number to between 121,- COG and. 122,000. It is not expected by the war department officials that quite the full number called for will be mustered into the army, as nearly all of the states are shy from twenty-five to 1900 men of the number of men called for by their quota.

WHERE THE FLEETS ARE.
Schley Is the Cork in the Bottle at
 Santiago de Cuba

Key West, May 26.-The move ments of American war vessels are now shrouded with only a slight un- certainty. The composition of the three squadrons has been changed, but the exact complement and names of the ships under each command is not permitted to be telegraphed.
 Concerning the statement that Ad- miral Cervera's ships are bottled up at Santiago de Cuba, it has been &C., cepted. Commodore Schley could maintain the blockade of the harbor there and annihilate the Spanish fleet if it is found outside. The fact that Commodore Schley is now thought to be outside Santiago de Cuba has given free rein to Sampson, who is known to, be in the Bahama channel

FRESH WATER FOR FIGHTERS.
Condensers and Water in Bulk Shipped

New York, May 26.-The Ward line steamer Yucatan, the last transport ship under government charter in this harbor, sailed for Key West yester- day afternoon. Besides some commis- sary subsistence stores, she carried eleven salt water condensers, to be in- stalled on other transports already al Key West or on the way there.
 The Standard Oil company's new oil tank Maverick, after having s,an her tanks thoroughly cieansed. sailed from the Delaware breakwater yester- day morning with 1,00O,0e0 gallons o, fresh water on board Along wifb her sailed Standard Oil barge 57. ear rying 500,000 gallons of water. Their destination is Key West. The idle, is to keep the water for the use of the army that is to go to Cuba.

mander may adopt to make the exi impossible.
 BLOCKING THE ENTRANCE.

In the blockade of Charleston, barges full of stones were sunk in the channel entrance, cutting off ingress and egress. A few old hulks would serve the same purpose in the present case. There is difficulty in getting such old craft, and the sinking of derelicts at the proper points in the channel would be attended with great danger. They must be lowed into position, subjecting those in charge to the danger of mines and torpedoes.
 There are also the guns of Moro castle to be guarded against. It is un- derstood, however, that Moro castle has no searchlights, so that night op- erations of this character could be conducted without the Spaniards being aware of it. Taking everything into account, naval officers feel that Ad- miral Cervera committed a fatal blun- der in being trapped at Santiago and there is no fear the trap will prove in adequate to hold the Spanish warships
