Order For the Spanish Government.

Pittsburg Company Expects to Fiji Large
Order For the Spanish Government.
A peculiar case, in which the contra
band Of war will likely be waived, has
developed in Pittsburg. The Spanish
government is negotiating with the Fes-
senden Manufacturing company for q
lot Of x ray machines to be used in
field, ship and hospital service. The
Spanish consul at New York asked the
Pittsburg company few days ago to
furnish prices on machines ranging
from the inch apparatus for emergency
work up to the 20 inch machine for
hospital ambulance use.
Before replying to the request r. A.
Fessenden consulted the authorities. He
feared that the United States govern
ment would prevent him from supply
ing this humanitarian war material to
Spain, but he has been told 1t Is not
likely objection will be made.
"We are making about 100 machines
for the home government, he said re-
Gently, "and the wounded Spaniards
who are taken prisoners will get the
benefit Of being treated by the aid of
the X ray. There is no reason why our
wounded soldiers in Spanish hospitals
or ON Spanish ships should not have the
opportunity of also getting this great
aid TO surgery. II we receive the order,
it will be filled at once. / do not think
the United States government will in
terfere with its delivery. New York

schoolboys Show Their Feeling by Tack
ing spain's Flag to the Floor.
Several Of the older pupils Of the
New Rochelle high school organized .
unique scheme the other night to show
their hatred toward Spain. The boys
held meeting and decided to get q
Spanish flag and tack it to. the floor Of
the main hall just inside Of the front
door, where every one would walk up
on it. So when the teachers and pupils
entered the building the next morning
all were obliged to tread upon the en-
blem.
Isaac E. Young, the superintendent
of schools, also stepped on it, much
against his will He then ordered the
flag torn up and leotured the pupils for
doing such thing, but could not learn
who was responsible Superintendent
Young was angry and said he would
not tolerate such an insult to foreign
country. ry.-Exchange

THE RAINY SEASON.
Considered by the Cubans ~ the Most
Charming OF the Year.

Considered by the Cubans NJ the Most
Charming OF the Year.
Mr.. Morrilas. Cuban born, and for
some years an assistant surgeon in the
United States navy, now in the marine
hospital service in the tropics, said re-
Gently:
"The rainy season in the tropics, as
1t is called out of Cuba, Is to Cubans
the most charming season of the year.
1t begins generally about the middle Of
May and lasts until the middle Of Sep
tember. 1t usually rains in the afternoon,
and sometimes the fall is very heavy
and is accompanied by such thunder and
lightning as one never knows outside
the tropics. 1t generally stops at sun
set, which is simply unspeakably grand
In its cloud effects. I rarely ever have
known it to rain at night. 1t ia this so
called rainy season that gives life and
vigor to the growing vegetation and
makes our sugar and tobacco crops what
they are.
"By eating we'll cooked food and
eschewing overindulgence in the fruits
Of the country, usually SO tempting to
strangers, always sleeping under some
sort of shelter, and not on the bare
ground. the green Yankee from New
Hampshire hills may laugh at the bogy
Of the rainy season and the yellow
fever. 1t is we'll for the unacclimated
man, the first three months of his stay,
TO take from three to six grains of qui-
nine every morning and Q mild purga-
tive. say twice week. You may be as
wet as possible II you are on the move.
but when you stop change your wet
clothes for dry ones, socks and all. You
will never have this fever il you follow
these easily remembered rules. -

SPANISH CHICKENS.

Captain Nichols of Worthwhile, Mioh.,
Is chicken breeder Of more than ordi-
nary repute and has several varieties Of
thoroughbreds, which are greatly ad-
mired. Among the lot is pen Of choice
Spanish Minorcas, which have hitherto
been allowed the freedom Of the yards
and gardens of the neighborhood resi-
dents.
After the news Of the declaration Of
war was received the other day the
neighbors notified the captain that tbe
first Spanish chicken entering on their
premises after p. m. on that day
would meet with the fate Of the battle

Minorcas under lock and key. and they

THE BAY OF MANILA.

IL IL = Landloclxed See Thirty Miles Long
and About twenty-five Miles Wide.
Manila bay, where the recent battle
between Commodore Dewey's squadron
and the Spanish feet was fought, is q
landlocked sea. It is 80 miles long
from north to south and about % miles
wide. Its entrance is IL miles wide, but
the passage is blocked by two islands.

rover. One is two miles wide and an
other three miles. The water in them
Is deep and swift. Cavite, under whose
guns the Spanish ships fought. is on the
mainland near the entrance to the bay.
1t is seven miles from the city Of Ma
nilla in an air line over the water. By
land it is 10 miles. The population Of
the town is about 8. 900. There are sew
eral small hamlets ON the shore OF the
bay between Cavite and Manila, and
1t Is near one of these that Commodore
Dewey landed his wounded.
The bay is large enough for the ma
neuvers Of big feet and its entrance is
10 deep that 1t is practically impossible
to protect it by sinking mines. Modern
fortifications ON the islands at it's mouth
could keep warships in the open sea,
but there did not seem to be any guns
there worth using. Dependence was put
In the Cavite batteries and in the guns
of the Spanish fleet. The event proved
the superiority of the American seamen
and the American guns. 1t also proved
that the Spaniards had neglected to
provide adequate protection at the
mouth of the bay. Brooklyn Eagle.

SPAIN'S COLONIES.

Her Possessions In Both Hemispheres A.
gregate Ao5,3 Square Niles.
We should disabuss our minds Of the
impression that Spain's colonial posses-
sions in the old world are restricted
mainly to the Philippines While poor
even to beggary in comparison with
what she once possessed, Spain lacks
much Of being wholly and actually be-
reft. Her possessions in Asia include
the Philippine islands. containing ll4..
sac square miles and 1000, 900 inhabit-
ants; the Sulu islands, containing 800
square miles and $4,000 inhabitants;
the Caroline islands. containing $50
square miles and SO, 900 inhabitants,
and the Marianne islands, containing
420 square miles and TO-. 172 inhabit-
ants. t
Her possessions in Africa include Rio
de Orc and Adrar, containing 243, 600
square miles and 100, 900 inhabitants;
Fernando Pc Corsica and San Juan, oon-
tanning $50 square miles and 30, 900
inhabitants, and Ifui, containing ~
square miles and 5000 inhabitants.
Spain's colonial possessions n both
hemispheres aggregate 405, 1888 square
miles and 9,659, 600 inhabitants. We
have not the figures at hand showing
the extent of her interests in the Cana.
ry and Cape Verde islands. In regard
to Cuba and Puerto Rico sufficient il

The Southern's line between Mocks-

complete. The finishing touches will be
put on the track by the middle of next
week. President Andrews and
other officials will then make a tour of
inspection over the line. Mixed trains
only will be run for the present between
Mooresville and Winston. There are
five stations between Mooresville and
Mocksville. 1t is probable that the new
road between Winston and Charlotte
will soon become the main line and that
the Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio from
Mooresville on to Taylorsville will be
a branch.
