''Three ounces are necessary, first of patience,
Then of repose and peace; of conscience
A pound entire is needful;
Of pastimes of all sorts, too
Should be gathered as much as the hand can
hold;
OF pleasant memory and of hope, three good
There must be at least. But they should mois-
tened be
With liquor made from true pleasures which
rejoice the heart.
Then of loves magic drops few
But use them sparingly, for they may bring a
flame
Which naught but tears can drown.
Grind the whole and mix Herewith of merri-
ment an ounce
To even. Yet all this may not bring happiness
Except in your prisons you lift your voice
To Him who holds the gift of health

BIG BATTLE EXPECTED,
Admiral SIMPSONS Squadron on the
Point of Engaging the Span
ish Armada.

Chicago, May 9.-Persistent rumors
of naval battle in West Indian waters
reached the United States all day Sun
day and until a late hour at nj ght. None
of these reports had been confirmed at
midnight, either from the scene of the
supposed engagement or from the navy
department at Washington. The gen.
eral tenor of the dispatches seems to
indicate that the Cape Verde fleet has
arrived in the vicinity of Puerto Rico,
and that with the fleet are a number of
transports bringing troops and sup
plies.
Port all Prince, Hayti, May 9.-The
arrival is ru'nored of II Spanish vessels,
warships and others, at Puerto Rico;
and battle is expected on Tuesday. 1t
is also reported from Cape Haytien that
Rear Admiral Simpsons squadron has
been sighted to the north
The vessel which pursued the cruiser
Montgomery is supposed to have been
the Spanish warship Vizcaya; and it is
suggested that possibly the Mont
gomery enticed the Spaniard within
striking distance of Admiral Sampson.
The crew of the German ship Bolivia,
Capt. Bruhn, who arrived Sunday, say
they heard cannonading to the north
ward about four o'clock Sunday after

the Spanish forces on the island and the
American flag floats as proudly over Ha-
Vana a S it does over the ruins of the Cavite
fortress in Manila harbor. This is the idea
of the military advisers of the administra-
ton, and the president has approved the
plans.
1.-THE first section Of the army to invade
Cuba will be the $4,000 or $4,000 troops that
are now assembled at New Orleans and
Tampa. They are all regulars, and most
ofthem re men who have seen actual fight
ing on the plains. They are seasoned, dis
ciplined, effective. They will be followed
at once by another army of $4,000 volun-
teers, who will be concentrated at south
ern ports Is quickly as the trains can carry
them, and will be transported as fast as
the necessary ships can be collected 1t
is estimated that it will take at least 300
vessels to carry this immense army to
Cuba Nearly everything that floats has
already been secured by the government,
and the wires are hot in all directions, d.
rectng contracts to be closed Immediately
in all the principal seaport towns.
"Other details of the great expedition
have been arranged. Within 4S hours there
will be 1000 wagons at Tampa and Il, 900
mules. Several hundred ambulances will
also be hurried to Tampa. They may be
needed. Battles are mot all like the
one which has just been fought in Manila

THREE HUNDRED SLAIN.
Bread, Riots in Italy Causing Enor-
NOUS Loss of Life-Reserve
Troops Called Out.

Lugano, Switzerland, May o.-It has
been a terrible day at Milan. About one
o'clock Sunday afternoon veritab
battle: occurred in the Via Somtraire.
Thousands of tiles and chimneys were
hurled from the roofs upon the troops,
who were compelled to retire. A sim
liar fight took place in the Via Torino,
and it is believed that no fewer than
800 were killed and 1000 injured.
Late news from Milan says the Secolo
las been seized and its editors arrest
&C. The postal telegraph offices have
been closed and all dispatches Of mails
stopped. The public buildings are
guarded and artillery has been placed
in position on the Plaza del Duomo
Many fugitives from Milan have crossed
the frontier into the canton of Ticino
and to Fontana, among them being the
editor of the Italia del Popolo, the in
eliminated republican paper, who elud-
Cd the police. Eight thousand troops
are quartered in the city.
A Swiss merchant who has arrived
here from Milan describes the events of
Saturday as completely anarchistical.
According to his account the leaders of
the agitation evidently had well-ar-
ranged plans. Columns of rioters
emerged from all the gates of the town
and converged on center, where they
rapidly constructed barricades. When
they were dislodged by the troops they
mounted to the roofs and rained tiles
and chimneys down upon the soldiers.
The gates of the town were held by
the troops in the evening, and through
out the night, so that workmen en-
ployed outside were unable to return to
their homes. In this way the rising
was deprived of additional help from

short time; and the three great battle
ships Illinois, Alabama and Wisconsin
are rapidly advancing to the launching
state. These, vessels are sister ships,
exactly alike in construction and arma-
ment, and will be the most effective
floating forts in existence. Their length
on load water line is sos feet; normal
displacement, ,525 tons; load dis
placement, 1850 tons; maximum in
dictated horse power, 10000; speed, 16
knots; complement, 400. Main bat
teries will consist of four 13-inth
breech-loading rifles, supplemented by
II siX-inch rapid fire guns. The 13-inch
guns are mounted in two barbette tow
crs of 15-inch Harveyized steel. Each
of these guns fires hardened steel shot
OF 1,10O pounds, with an impulse of 49,
e27 foot tons. While the navies of sew
eral European countries contain bat
t]eships of greater dimensions, yet
these new American destroyers will
have superior powers of offense and de-
Tense, owing to more advanced con-
struction and more modern arma-
ment.
y
the United States will be the second
naval power, place now occupied by
France. The ships now in course of
construction, under an act of congress
passed in 1896, were not to- have been
completed for some years, but circum-
stances made hurry imperative, and
they will probably be ready for active
service within ~ months At the same
time work is to be begun on the fleet
authorized by the present congress,
which is to consist of three battleships
OF the first class, one to be called the
Maine; six torpedo boat destroyers, six
torpedo boats and one gunboat for the
great lakes, to take the place of the OBJ
solete Michigan. Everything, in short,
points TO the quick establishment of a
great modern naval power which, in
point of effectiveness, is destined in
time to surpass that of Great Britain
even. ME-. :

: The defensive strength of our war
establishment must always depend on
the navy. Our geographical location
renders invasion by military force vir-
tually impossible, but to ward eff
naval attacks and prevent the lombard
ment of our great sea coast cities we
must have coast defenses and BATTLE
ships. In the future the United States
will not be: able to maintain the isolated
position which up to this year has been
tradition. It's varied commercial and
social interests, while it's greatest pride,
are also its greatest danger, and may
lead to complications with any one of
the powers of Europe whose aggressive
attitude may imperil American inter-
ests or American honor.
The table given herewith, showing
the relative strength of the navies of
the world, indicates that we still have
much to do, in the line of shipbuilding
before we shall be among the first naval
powers, but fair beginning has been
made and no one can doubt that we
shall in time occupy the place rightful-
ly ours.

was in complete darkness and funereal

bivouacked on the Plaza del Duomo,
where achievements were constantly
arriving.
Rome, May 9.-Another portion of
the 1878 reserves and portion of the
reserves of 1874 have been ordered to
be under arms by Tuesday. Generally
speaking the agitation continues, but
it is less intense. The authorities have
ordered all socialist and republican
clubs to dissolve. There is a rumor cur
rent that the rioters have driven back
a train under the impression that it was
conveying soldiers.

An Old Feud Breaks Out,

An old feud between ex-Mayor John
Ludwig and Martin Stadleman of Wi
mona came to climax on Third street
Monday and resulted in Mr.. Stadleman
receiving severe Gaming at the hands
of MIR. Ludwig. His head was cut in
several places. 1t seems that the
trouble between these two well-known
citizens is of long standing. Mr.. Lud-
wig says that Mr.. Stadleman has in
suited himself and family for years,
and only a few days ago insulted Mrs.
Ludwig when they met on the street.
Mr.. Ludwig told Mr.. Stadleman that
these doing would have to stop. Mr..
Stadleman retorted by using an op-
probrious epithet and Mr.. Ludwig
used his cane. Mr.. Stadleman states
that it was Mr.. Ludwig who used the
language which provoked the assault.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Discovered just in Time.

Robert Wood, Charles Wood and
Theresa Wood, two brothers and Sis
ter, registered at the Merchants Hotel,
st. Paul, from NATION, Wis, and were
assigned two rooms. The three were
young and seemed in the best of spirits.
Early the next morning the night
watchman detected the odor of escap-
ing gas coming from the rooms occu-
pied by the trio, and managed to awake
the young men by knocking at their
door. The young woman could not be
aroused, and the Waterman crawled
through the transom, assisted by the
night clerk, and dragged the uncon-
sciaus form of the girl to an adjoining
room. A doctor was summoned and
by hard work got te girl out of danger.
1t was discovered that the gas jets
IN both rooms were open, and the gas
must have escaped for several hours.
