oper.tions In Msxico.

Secret agents of the Madrid and Ha-
vana governments will proceed to Vera
Cruz soon upon a Spanish warship
probably the Vizcaya. to promote an
anti-American sentiment against the
United States, and they seem to think
Mexico will cooperate with such an
Austro-Spanish alliance to prevent
Americans from acquiring absolute
command of the gulf of Mexico. They
will try to affect sentiment in Mexico
by the establishment of newspapers at
the capital and the subsidizing Of 9TH
ers throughout the republic. Like
commissions will be sent to Venezuela,
Chile and other South American coun-
tries, accompanied by experienced press
agents. 1t is reported that the Aus
trian cruiser Donau will follow the Viz
caya to Mexico to emphasize its COM
mander's opinion expressed in the
toast at the banquet that Spain and
Austria are to revenge the Macmillan
incident. These bombas:ic freaks seem
to wish the stirring up Of Diaz as well
as Uncle Sam. The Spanish colony in
Mexico is said to be preparing grand
reception at Vera Cruz to the battle
ship Vizcaya.

Rush out of Dawson.

Tacoma, Wash. March 19.-H. c.
Petit of Snohomish. who returned on
the City of Seattle from Alaska. brings
news to the effect that next June or
July will witness stampede from
Dawson that will be equaled only be
the present rush of gold seekers to the
Klondike. Up to February Sth, when
Petit left, there had been about 1900
applications for passage south. Before
that number was reached the accom-
modations of all the first-class boats
had been sold. and no more applica-
tions would be received. When book
ings open for the second boats there
will be another rush. Practically ev-
cry one of the 1,50O anxious to get out
early will bring gold, many in large
amounts.

Petition. of Coast cities.


Now that the government mas en-
tered upon a definite policy OF con-
structing and equipping sea coast de-
fenses to meet the exigency OF war,
scores of persons representing various
cities and towns on the Atlantic anu
gulf coasts have applied to the war de-
partment for a generous share OF the
expenditures to be made for such pur-
noses. AS rule the administrator
refuses to be impressed by the petl-
tions for defense at particular points.
The definite policy has already been
adopted of following the judgment OF
the army engineering corps, modined
by the advice of army officers, whose
opinions in strategic matters are ex-
pert. Above all, the department aims
TO make expenditures at this time with
particular reference to the danger OF
war with Spain at an early day.
Tht President has authorized allot-
ment of $2,975, 900 for the use OF the
engineering branch of the army in
constructing sea coast defenses, mount
ing guns. and for other work In con-
ection with that department. The war
department has answered all inquiries
in reference to new coast defenses with
the statement that no additional pro
jects will be considered. The funds
which the President will authorize the
department to use are to be applied fol

An Adventure with a Panther.

An Adventure with fhntneE.
Mr.. Wilfrid H. Luck assistant su-
perintendent of police). fourth son of
Mrs. Luck of Hartlip, Sittingbourne,
while out shooting with two friends on
Jan. 9 in the jungle near Dhulla, Bonn
bay presidency, was terribly mauled
by a panther. He had wounded pan
ther, which. however, charged up the
tree from which Mr.. Luck had fired.
Mr.. Luck hit the beast over the head
with the butt of his rifle, and kicked 1t
in the jaw, but it was of no avail; he
was dragged out of the tree and the
two fell over and over together dis
tance of fifteen feet. Fortunately, at
this moment. when almost all hope
had died away, Mr.. Keys. hearing
shout, came down from his tree and
ran to the aid of his companion. The
panther rising from the senseless body
of Mr.. Luck, charged Mr.. Keys. who
met the beast on the barrels of his
rifle, killing it on the spot, and thus
saving the life of his companion. Mr..
Luck writes: Fortunately, the pan
ther was an old one and his teeth much
worn. We must have fallen together,
and l on top, as l was not much hurt,
although falling fifteen feet. I have a
dozen holes in one leg (from his teeth ,
two in the other, and two in the left
arm, in addition to both legs being
dreadfully mauled. hope to be about
in a few weeks" Mr.. Luck is broth
er of one of the survivors of the Benin

AN AGREEMENT MADE.
The Torpedo Fiotilia stops at the Canaries
and two of Our ShIps Come North

The Torpedo Flotiiia Stops at the CanAries
and two of Our Ships Come North.
Washington, March 19.-There is no
longer any doubt that the stopping of
Spain's torpedo fleet at the Canaries
and the withdrawal of two battleships
from Key West was the result of an
agreement between Washington and
Madrid. high official says it is pos
sible that more ships may be with
drawn if Spain is not satisfied, al
though the authorities deem it unwise
to weaken the fleet too much before
The court of inquiry's report is received
a close watch is being kept on Spain's
torpedo fiotilla. Should an attempt be
made to move it to Porto Rico, prompt
representations demanding its imme-
dlate return to the Canaries are to be
made. If Spain should refuse to com
ply with these representations the plan
of the authorities contemplates dis
patch of cruisers to intercept and per-
haps destroy il.
Captain Sampson, president of the
court of inquiry, has said the an
nouncement of the report of the courts
investigation must come from Wash
ington. The report is nearly ready,
Tor the members have been working on
board the Iowa to finish it.
Both nations are making efforts to
purchase the armored cruisers being
built for Italy. The report that Spain
mad obtained these vessels is officially
denied in Rome.
Except for the steam yacht Her
mione, the naval authorities are appar-
emily making no efforts to obtain more
yachts for conversion into torpedo boat
destroyers. The search now is directed
rather to obtaining sea-going tugs for
this purpose. 1t is pointed out that
these vessels have sufficient speed and
the advantage of being more heavily
built.
There is reason to believe that the
name of the cruiser purchased from
Brazil will be changed from the ANA
zonas to the Albany, in honor of the
capital of New York. The Abreuall
may be rechristened New Orleans.

Exports Increasing.

Washington, March 1S.-Secretary
Gage received the foreign commerce
returns for the first eight months Of
the present fiscal year this afternoon,
and, although 1897 was the banner
year for the export trade of the United
States, the total thus far in 1898 is
S7S,371, ,S5S in excess. The total ex-
ports for eight months reach the enOr-
nous sum of SS13.3IO,071. For Feb
ruary, 1898. the exports We're 4.9S1,-
OF, as against ST9,S21 ,0S6 for Feb
ruary, 1897.
The imports seem to fall away as
fast as the exports gain. In February.
1897, the total merchandise imported
was valued at 500, ,237, ,377. while for
the same month in 1898 it was $685.
0S2. III. For the eight months Nded
February 2S. 1898. there was fall
ing off of S2s.SO6,42S in imports from
the previous year The balance Of
trade in favor of the United States

mortars, as also are Fort Schuyler, Will
let's Point, and Fort Slocum, guarding
the approaches to the eastern entrance
of the harbor. Submarine mines are to
be relied upon in great measure to
keep hostile ships out of New York
harbor. or at least greatly retard their
advance, and give the artillery men a
chance to effectively serve their guns.
In this connection. it is well to show
the weakness of the Long Island south
ern coast, which is in the main un-
protected. and would serve as an ex-
cellent landing place for foreign en-
emy, who might gain decisive advan-
tages If steps were not taken to oppose
him. In view Of the extent OF this
Long Island coast line, large num-
ber of men would be required for this
patrol duty, and 1t is here that the Ma
tional Guard of New York might be
utilized. These numbering about 49,
600, might be mobilized in two days
in and around New York City. and
yoon be in readiness for active work.
Use for Infantry.
Infantry would be of great use in
case of hostilities by serving in and
about sea-coast defenses, doing sentinel
and police duty and allowing the train
ed artillerymen to give their entire at
tention to serving the high power guns.
In this manner the maximum efficiency
would be obtained from the artillery.
In offensive operations IN Cuba the
infantry would be the active force, and
would bear the brunt of the hghting.
The present force available is made
quate, and must be expanded before
campaigning begins. This shows the
urgent need of the immediate passage
by Congress of the regular infantry re-
organization bill and the national NIL
litia bill Immediately after declar-
alton of hostilities all available troops
would be ordered by the President to
concentrate on the Atlantic coast, and
probably portion would be transport
ed to Cuba to aid the insurgents, VINO
would redouble their activity.
Be that as 1t may, we must attend TO
our defense first, and then we may be-
come aggressive Well fortified and
well defended coast defenses, with the
cooperation of the infantry, can sure
ly keep out hostile ships and prevent
landing by the enemy. Large battle
ships and cruisers can not and do not
run by forts well armed and served.
Let MS pay close attention to this fact.
Not Easy for Spain to Coal.
Spain would have difficulty in coaling
IL she were at war with the United
States. Puerto Rico would soon be un-
tenable as base of supplies. A bat
tleship without coal is useless. ana
Spain has been obtaining most OF her
coal from the United States. An IN
stance in point is the Vizcaya. which
received supply of coal in New YORK
after its trip from Spain. The only
formidable sea coast fortihcations
Spain possesses in Cuba are in Havana.
These are the defensive works at Playa
del Chiso, which mount two twelve
inch rifles; the Santa Clara battery
mounting four eight-inch and three
ten-inch modern guns.

FOR WAR.
Protection of Harbors-MInes and Guns
Mako Now York Fairly safe-Much of
the Coast Exposcd-yaIue of the Ma
tionaI Guard In an Emergency.

The system of coast defense which
has been mapped out for the United
States is surely formidable enough. but
unfortunately 1t Is not quite as near a
state OF perfection as could be desired
in case of actual hostilities with pow
erful enemy. There is enough done,
however, to make a respectable show
ing in case of war with Spain. Dur
ing the last ten years about $40.000.OOO
has been spent on seacoast fortifica-
tions, armament, torpedoes, and their
equipment. and still much remains to
be done, as our Atlantic coast line is
enormous in extent and requires vast
amount of attention to fully prepare
1t for foreign foe.

Sending the Terror south AT this time
is here regarded as significant. The
Terror is considered the ugliest fighter
in the navy because of her modern
and unusual construction. Two weeks
ago the Terror was lying at Hampton
Roads. From there she was ordered
