Reports from Havana says that
provisions are scarce. but that the
city and vicinity is we'll prepared to
make strong defence. Undsr.t these
circumstances It is not likely that
there will be an attempt, at least at
present, to take the city by assault.
With an effective blockade and al
lowing the American fleet to be
more than eqaal to its rivals it is
more likely that our military author.
tiles will play a waiting game-ssb-
mission through starvation is likely
to be the end of the campaign.
This, if not exactly humane, is war,
and the object of American arms
may thus be secured without heavy
loss of life.
The Boston Herald says:
"But so long as the problems of
naval warfare are untried problems,
SO long as there is even chance
that by some mishap or unlucky
chance our warships would be de-
feated, we cannot afford TO run the
risk of sending tens of thousands OF
our citizens across to Cuba, when,
under such circumstances, it might
turn out that they could not receive
supplies from the United States, or,
short of surrender, be provided with
means of returning home. At the
present point in the war, sea power
counts for everything, and that we
must establish first before attempt
ing definite land operations beyond
our borders"

BETHEL.

There is good deal of patriotism
here which so far has had no oppor-
tunity of demonstration. \ number
of the young men are anxious to en-
list, but being so lar from the head
quarters of any OF the militia compa.
mes they found that they had all
been filled up about us soon as we
knew OF the call. Though nobody
wishes that a call for more volun-
teers will! I've necessary, there IS no
doubt that Bethel would do it's part
in such an event. A good many
feel that Bethel or at least some town
in this great county of Windsor
should have Il militia company.
Several former members of the
militia Of this and other states, who
had failed to ask for their discharges,
thought they might be called upon
to report for service, but it seems
that the number of recruits was so
large in every case that the officers
did not look up their absent mem
bers very carefully. Ed. Pippin,
who has been working at the Will
son House, is member of the Bran
don company and has been instruct
ed to hold himself in readiness to re-
port at any time.

Mice of All COIOrs.

The National Mouse Club of England
recently held an exhibition where sew
eral hundred mice competed for gold
medals, champion cups and various 9th
er prizes. THESE little creatures are not
the ordinary everyday mice which scare
the cook and drive the mistress of the
house TO take refuge on chair They
are we'll bred mice that expected 10 be
petted and caressed and treated as ten
derly as pet Cat or dog.
By careful breeding they have de-
veloped great variety in coloring and
sometimes in shape. One very choice
style of animal, called the spiny mouse,
has row of bristling hair for a spinal
ornament and is very cute miniature
reproduction of a pOrcupine. The ia
miIiar white mice so often seen for sale
on the streets here have been bred with
black eyes instead of red ones 1t has
taken several years to produce these re-
suits, but the society now claims to be
able TO furnish mice in II or l3 differ
ent shades. To any one who is able TO
overcome the fear of mice they are
dainty, delicate little studies at any
time, but when they play around IN
suits of chocolate, sable, fawn, Jet
black, tortoise or golden agouti they be-
come perfectly fascinating.
AS in the case of all fads of this kind,
the prices brought by these little pets
are extremely steep Fifteen dollars OF
$40 is not large price to pay for a
we'll bred mouse. and some Of them
have been sold for as high as $50.
