A CHEERFUL OPINION.
WHAT AN ENGLISH CRITIC SAYS
OF THE WAR.

ages of Spain.
w. Laird Clewes, the London naval
critic, has written long article en-
titled Some of the Problems OF War;"
in which he says:
"Spain's most noteworthy point of
superiority lies in her torpedo flotilla,
but the Spanish boats are nearly all
old and it is feared in rather bad order.
Battleships cannot be improvsed or
quickly built while torpedo boats can be
adapted or constructed in short time.
Therefore, it is worth bearing in
mind that in these material elements,
which it is least easy to create, the
United States has superiority from the
first.
"There is more difference in the
personnel of the two navies. do not
hesitate to say that the natural, as
we'll as the acquired, qualifications
OF the American naval officers are miles
ahead of those of the Spanish. In
deed, there is no room for comparison.
Moreover, the American naval officers
have steadily faced and carfully studied
the problem which they are graphing
with, while the Spaniards have shirked
the disagreeable subject.
"Concerning the men, n casual ob.
server is liable to be woefully mistaken.
When hard work is to be done, the
Americans do it with an intelligence
and go, to which the Spaniards are
absolutely strangers. Spain cannot
afford to essay an organized or formal
attack upon the United States coast.
"The Almirante Oquendo might
shell Savannah or Wilmington, but it
would be foolish to try the experiment,
which could have no possible influence
upon the course of the war. A regular
naval bombardment of New York.
Boston or Philadelphia is out of the
question, because Spain cannot afford
to risk her ships against the guns be-
hind the earthworks or in water where
they could not fail to be torpedoed.
The disablement OIL Spanish ship off
Boston or New York would mean her
total loss. Further, Spain cannot per-
NIT her fleet to engage in that kind of
general action at point far removed
from coaling station.
"This question of coal is one of the
leading factors and must determine
the result. Though there is a certain
amount of coal in Cuba and Porto
Rico, in neither island can the stock
be largely increased while America is
undefeated at sea.
"1f Spain adopts the alternative of
coaling in the open sea from colliers,
she does so at great peril. She has
only one or two colliers that can keep
up with the best and modern part of
the fleet"

THAT keen observer and accurate de-
lineator of human thought, Walter
Savage Landor, stated a paradoxical
truth in clear and forceful language
more than a generation ago when he
said: "The Frenchmen are the most
delicate people in the world on points
of honor and the least delicate on the
points of justice" There could scarce
ly be more forcible illustration of
the truth of this observation than is
furnished in the history of the Drey-
fus scandal and the recent Zola trial
in Paris.

Assaults Upon the President

That cranks abound, or are devel-
oped whenever the popular mind is
called into special activity, is shown
by the receipt of an Internal machine
at the White House, last week. For
tunately its character was suspected
and measures taken to prevent its ex-
plosion and no harm was done. The
incident was carefully concealed, and
all efforts are being made to capture
the sender. There was nothing to
suggest from whom it came and no
clue was afforded as to the man who
sent it. The machine was inclosetl
in Misunderstanding cigar box. An
ingenious contrivance had been ar
ranged so that when the lid of the box
was opened there would be flash of
powder which would explode stick of
giant powder sufficient to blow man
to atoms. Lieut. Cross, in charge of
the White House police, to whom the
machine was handed, discovered its
nature and took precautions to render
it harmless. He soaked it thoroughly
in tub of water, until the contents
were saturated, and then opened it.
That there are other cranks who
have designs upon the life of the
President is shown by the following
dispatch dated Washington, April
Goth:
The White House was under fire to-
night. At $3.50 o'clock a pistol shot
was fired ut the Executive Mansion by
some unknown person standing on the
rear platform of one of the Pennsyl-
vania avenue cars
The electric railroad car from which
the shot was fired was proceeding
westward towards Georgetown at full
speed. 1t was just about to pass the
western entrance to the White House
grounds, and was right opposite the
residence portion of the mansion,
when the flash of q shot was seen.
The report that followed aroused
the police, and two or three of them
hurried down to the gate, thinking
the man who did the shooting might
be found there. From passers by
they learned that it was q passenger
on one of the cars.
The shot caused most intense ex-
citement about the Executive Mansion,
and in few minutes the rumor spread
about town that the President had
been assassinated. The clerks and
other officials were very much excited,
and it was time before feeling OF se-
curity returned.
AS a result of these incidents, addi-
tional measures were taken to guard
the executive mansion. The police
force has been doubled, and a detail
from the district militia has formed
an additional outside guard to the ap-
proaches to the White House grounds.

MIND READING.

The really extraordinary performances
of mind readers of celebrity astound all
who witness them. Scientists cannot ex-
plain them; the experts themselves are
unable to say by what mental process
they arrive at conclusions and discover
locations almost invariably correct.
Hamlet eXcaims, "There are more
things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
than are dreamt of in thy philosophy"
The wonderful fcats of the mind reader
are strongly corroborative of this. But
the reason of the benefcent effects of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in cases of
dyspepsia, malaria, rheumatism, bilious
ness. nervousness and kidney and blad-
der complaint, marvellous as they are,
does not require and will not provoke in
vestigation We know that the medicine
does effect thorough cures in obstinate
cases. that it does prevent the diseases
to which it is adapted. Consequently
able and eminent men endorse it. Used
with persistency it will re-establish
health

The spirit in which Spain has kept
in subjugation the population OF this
wonderfully productive island IS wen
represented by n proclamation by Nala-
maseda, a Spanish commander during
the former ten years war, whose acts
during that war may he compared TO
those of Weyler during the present war.
Nalamaseda wrote:
Not a single Cuban will remain on
this island because we shoot all those we
find in the fields, on the farms, and IN
every house So every one re-
ceives what he deservcS-the men with
bullets, the animals with bayonets. The
island will remain Il desert"
Humane America should have stopped
this butchery long ago Let us hope that
Spanish rule in this hemisphere is near
ing its end.
In addition to this appeal in behalf of
humanity the United States is concern
ed in another way. In 1928 the
value of our trade with Cuba amounted
to S103. 0000OO in 1897 this had been
reduced to S27.000000."

COL. CARR'S PLAIN TALK.

We print elsewhere an interview with
Col Julian S. Carr, Of Durham, who has
returned after weeks visit to the
camp of the First regiment at Jackson
ville It will be read with wide inter
est throughout the State.
Colonel Carr has shown his friendship
for the troops in many substantial ways,
and to-day-not tomorrow, but ut once
the people in every town ought to act
upon his advice and send some money
TO the companies from their home to give
delicacies to the sick and comforts for
the other brave men who have left their
homes to fight for their country. They
have gone to fight for our flag as well as
theirs, and those of us who are at home
ought to be willing to make some sac
rifce to make their hard lot as easy as
possible.
The act Of General Arnold is appro-
priateIy denounced. There has never
been more wanton SANDER of brave
men from an official source than General
Arnold penned about the North Carroll
ma troops 1t must make the blood of
every true North Carolinian boil with
rage to see the gallant young men of
this State misrepresented as they have
been done in this instance. The Secre-
tary of War ought to require an inves.
tigation and an apology. Falsehood and
SANDER in a superior officer are as base
and more to be condemned than in a
private
The testimony Of Col Carr agrees
with that of others that the North Caro-
lima troops left home more poorly equip
ped than any other regiment. This has
caused them very many discomforts
which they ought not to have beer
forced to endure. Before they left Raj
eigh the State authorities knew bow
poorly clothed they were, and yet NJ
effort was made to secure for them the
necessary equipment for their comfort
There is money enough i'll the State
