CARLOADS OFF AMMUNITION.
War Supplies PilinG Up at Tampa
TorDedOes for the Harbor

TAMPA, Fla, March H.-Ammunition
continues to arrive in large quantities for
the vessels of the North Atlantic squadron,
but the cruiser Marblehead which arrived
here Saturday under orders to load with
ammunition for Key West and Tortugas is
stil lying at anchor a quarter of a mile
from the railroad dock where she will have
to take on the cargo. 1t was learned to-day
that thirty-six carloads of ammunition was
the full shipment sent to this place. Only
sixteen carloads have yet arrived, but the
rest is expected tonight The two carloads
of torpedoeS and torpedo buoys said TO be
for the protection of Tampa bay have not
yet been unloaded. A small vessel or the
navy on one of the revenue cutters VIII
probably do the work OF placing these tor
pedoes in position. Government officials IA
miliar with the channel of Tampa bay. say
that the only protection needed would be
the removal of the buoys and beacons
marking the channel, for the channel is so
crooked that even the shipmasters and
pilots who are thoroughly familiar with it
would have great difficulty in finding 1t
without the buoys. While coming up the bay
Saturday without a pilot the Marblehead
scraped on the bottom, but as the tide was
quite high, she got back into the channel
without doing any damage. Commander Nc
Gala, of the Marblehead has received sew
eral kilograms to-day. He will not give out
the slightest information concerning the
future movement of the vessel.

The spanish Language.

Habla V. Espanol? Perhaps not. 1t is a
very pretty tongue, however. There is Latin
in it, of course: Then there is Punic. Gothic

discovered the country. When the Romans
discovered 1t, too, they threw a toga over
it. The Visigoths stuck their gutturals
there The Moors brought their filigrees
and arabesques. Latin was beaten in with
the hilt of the sword, Gothic with trowel
and Arabic. with scimitar From those
three assaults the Spanish of to-day is the
result 1t is very pretty tongue, but it
can be embellishe6. It is a trifle barbaric.

There appears to be some talk in Wash
-ington IN favor of recognizing the inde-
pendence OF Cuba, instead OF according it
the rights of belligerents. Such recognition
would put its representatives in this coun-
try on the same footing as those of Spain,
but how would such recognition enable the
Cubans to drive the Spaniards from the
island? Such recognition would put an end
to the relief which the United States is
permitted to send to the starving on the
island. but would it hasten the exit of
Spain?

A representative of the United States gov

on special mission with the Philadelphia
