A Significant Move.

A special from Berlin says: From
a most trustworthy source, in high
diplomatic circles, it is learned that
the reported negotiations between
Spain and France with respect to
the sale of the Philippine Islands
aim at much more colonial changes.
1t is said that both Spain and Rus
STA have already agreed to the ces-
sion OF the northwest coast OF Nor
Deco to France. Successful con-
summation OF this plan would in
sure Frances aid against the United
States and eventually against Eng
land. Russia, especially, would be
pleased to see this key to the Medi-
terranean in the hands of the
French. The strategical strength
of Gibraltar has suffered a gradual
decline, and when menaced by
Spain from terra frms, England
would no longer be able to retain
control OF the entrance to the Medi-
terranean Sea. Add to this the ces-
sion of Tangier to France, and
Gibraltar would no longer prove
barrier to either Spain, France or
Russia.
What France offers in exchange
for this is kept secret, but it is be.
lieved that she may not hesitate ia
turn to espouse the cause Of Spain
against the United States.

COFFEES

Some are cheap now. Cheap
cereal adulterated coffees are
very plentiful and are forcing
down the prices of the old
Kona product, especially the
medium and lower grades
with which they compete.
The higher grades of ISL
and coffees have declined a
little in sympathy.
Our customers are the first
to benefit by reductions.
Fine coffees are scarce and
no reductions can be made in
their prices.

Dswey's Victory on Manila Bay.

Dswey's Victory on Manila Bay.
WRITTEN ON BOARD THE FLAGSHIP AFTER
THE ACTION BY LIEUTENANT COR
WIN P. REEFS, SUNDAY, MAY ], 1898.
At break of dawn Manila Bay,
A sheet of limpid water lay,
Extending twenty miles away.
Twenty miles from shore to shore,
AS creeping on squadron bore
As squadron never moved before.
Majestic in its hidden might,
1t passed Corregidor at night,
Inspired to battle for the right.
And grandly on the Flagship led
Six ships-Olympia e'er ahead
With battle flags at each mast head.
The Baltimore and Raleigh true,
The Petrol, Boston, Concord, too,
Their flags OF glory proudly flew.
As early daylight broke upon
The bay-before the rise of sun
Was seen the flash of opening gunl
Then every second heard the roar
OF shell and shrapnel bursting DER
Our brave, undaunted Commodorel
"Hold our fre!" he calmly said,
As from the bridge he bravsly led
To death or glory on ahead!
And from his lips or from his hand,
But one direction, one command,
"Follow the Flagship by the land~
Full twenty minutes slowly crept,
Ere lightning from our turrsts
leapt,
And pent-up hell no longer slept
The Spanish fleet, a dozen strong,
Was now in range and naughty
wrong
Was swept by awful fire along.
Explosions wild destruction brought
Mid flames that mighty havoc
wrought,
As either side in fury fought.
So back and forth in angry might,
The stars and stripes waved on
the fight,
Mid bursting shells in deadly flight!
The Spanish decks with dead were
strewn,
Their guns on shore were silenced
soon,
Their flags were down ere flush OF
noon.
Their ships, their batteries on the
shore
Were gone to fight again no
more
Their loss, a thousand men or more!
Dawned on the fleet that Dewey led
A miracle, while Spaniards bled;
For ON our side was not one dead!
The Battle OF Manila Bay
From mind shall never pass away,
Nor deeds of glory wrought that
day;
For mind that battles awful roar
The Spanish pride, to rise no
more,
Was humbled by our Commodore.

He Lives in Iowa and Is o Popular Edus
Gator and Scholar.
Uncle Sans double lives In Daven,
port, Iowa. He Is John b. Young,
who has been superintendent of the
public school system of Davenport for
twenty years, says the Chicago Times
Herald. There Is striking resem-
blance between the superintendent
and the man who is used TO represent
the United States in the pictures
drawn by the political caricaturists.
He has the same goatee, with smooth
~ shaven cheeks, wrinkled by many
smiles, while his mouth is firm and
shows as great determination of char.
acter. If he were to wear the old
white beaver that Uncle Sam usually
has on his head, and the trousers
with straps, he would look as if he
had stepped from one of. the populnf
cartoons OF the day.
As it is, the stranger who is intro
duced to MIR. Young is instantly
struck by the great resemblance, and
if Uncle Sam had not been drawn gem
erations before Mr.. Yodng's birth you
would swear that the superintendent
had been the model for the artists.
Superintendent Young comes of d long
line of American ancestry, and is as
American in every respect as he looks.
He was born in New York State, grad
uating from Middlebury College in
1851. For seven years he was at the
head Of academies at Lawrenceville
and Fort Covington, N Y. In 1868
he went to Davenport as superintend-
ent Of the school system of that city,
and his record Of twenty years con-
tinuous service in that Office is one
that is believed to be unequaled in
any other American city. His popu-
larity in Davenport is said to be
greater than that Of any other man.

women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
Gus health in old age. From every cor
ncr Of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia e. PiulSham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. J. G. Orms. of 200
Horner St, Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR Mrs. PINKuAM:-I feel it nv
duty to tell all suffering women that
think your remedies are wonderful. I
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovarics and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. 1 can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. [
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
