A careful inspection of the map will
lead anyone to the conclusion that our
naval authorities have provided for the
Spanish Cape Verde squadron in eX-
cellent style, and that Admiral Ger
vera will be more than mortal if he
should manage to elude all three CT the
American squadrons, under Sampson,
Watson and Schley, which are loCG-
ing for him.
According to present knowledge, the
enemy are somewhere off Porto Rico
today: probably to the south of it. If
to the south. then they are likely to be
making for some point on the Island of
Cuba, and the experts incline to think
that they would first touch at Cienfue-
gos. Others incline to the theory that
Cervera would turn north through the
Mona Passage, and steam straight for
Havana, hoping to strike the depleted
American .blockading squadron.
Admiral Sampson is fully aware OF
the proba IiIities. The Spaniards have
a days start. but he has an excellent
chance. to head them off by sailing
around Porto Rico If they should sue
ceed in giving him the slip, no harm
will be done beyond the disappointment
he and his men VIII feel. since Commo-
dore Schley will re-enforce Commodore
Watson in front of Havana some time
before the Spanish squadron can reach
that locality.
To encounter our Navy at the north
and west of Cuba they must steam over
III
south side of Porto Rico to Havana.
70 and Sampson would follow them as fast
as possible. From Newport News to
Havana, on the other hand. il is only
1850 miles, so it is apparent that the
flying squadron will be there first
Whether Cervera shall fight Sampson
or Watson, the result will be the same.
The difference will be in the delay in
volved in the latter event.
We are very hopeful that the squad
ron which so effectively cleaned up the
Notifications of San Juan the other
day may be fortunate enough to inter-
cept the armada: in which case it is
fair TO suppose that an engagement
will be fought in or near the Mona
Passage, probably today. and not lat
er than tomorrow.
The sooner the battle can be joined
che better for ali concerned. This Cape
Verde squadron has been a nuisauca
for two weeks, and it ought to he
abated. Even now il is interfering With
all plans for the invasion of Cuba and
the capture of Havana. 1t has been a
wet blanket to Mr.. McKinley's fighting
blood. Today We hear mutterings that
military operations may be put off al
together until Autumn; but. of course,
that is nonsense. because the country
would not stand it.
Whatever else may be done or omit
ted. as soon as the Spanish squadron
has been sunk there will be universal
demand for the bombardment of Ra-
vana and an assault upon its landward
defenses, and the Government will not
care to oppose it
In the interim everybody is writing
with anxious impatience for news of
tile great naval combat of modern his
rory.

PROSECUTED THE GouLDs.
Margaret E. Cody Is Charged. wit

New York May 1l-NIargaref z. Cody.
the woman who is charged with having
instigated the suit brought against the
heirs of Jay Gould by Mfs. Sarah Ann
Angel some months ago. was arrested
by Central Office detectives yesterday On
the eve of her departure for Europe
She was arrested at Lexington Avenue
and Twenty-third Street by Detectives
Carey and Crouch on a bench warrant
issued at Albany and which has been in
the hands of Captain Mcciusky. of the
Detective Bureau, for nearly a week.
The woman had been in Washington and
arrived here yesterday for the purpose of
taking a steamer for Europe today.
In indictment against Mrs Cody has
been found in Albany. charging her with
having written letters from that city in
an attempt to blackmail George Jay
Gould and Miss Helen Gould. The letters
were written in February and March.
1896 and they intimated that by seeing
her the whole litigation could be stopped.
While the Indictment is based upon
these letters 1t is said thar no proceed
ings would have been brought against the
woman had she not made an attempt TO
Reopen the matter after the suit of Mrs.
Angel had been thrown out of court
Instead of abandoning her attempt to
break the will of the late Jay Gould.
when Mrs. ANGEL confessed that she wa,
not married to Mr.. Gould. and had never
laid eyes on him. Mrs. Cody wrote to
George Gould's lawyers thar she had
made mistake in the woman whom she
brought forward as the alleged first wife
of Jay Gould. and that il was not Mrs.
Angel at all. but another woman whom
she had discovered AT Rouse's Point.
While the Gould heirs were inclined to
let the matter drop after the Angel case
had been dismissed, this new move led
them to believe that there would be no
end to litigation unless Mrs. Cody was
proceeded against.
No difficulty was experienced in recog-
nizing Mrs Cody when she arrived in
this city yesterday. as detectives from
the central Office had taken a good look
at her when she testified in the suit OF
Mrs. Angel against the Gould heirs.
Mrs. Cody was taken to the Center
Street Police Court and renanded 10 po-
lice headquarters. John T. Cook district
attorney of Albany County. was notified
by wire of the arrest. He replied that
he would send officers to take Mrs Cody
to Albany this morning

midst Of this excitement about coast
defenses and this enthusiasm abont
volunteers. while, the entire country is
stirred and thrilled by; the news OF
naval victories, while the recruits are
pouring in SO fast as to 'embarrass the
recruiting officers, who can receive
only certain number Of patriots from
each State, there are still some people
who have time for the more serious
and weighty affairs Of the country.
The Boston Herald, a paper which, in
all the natural excitement which has
attended the declaration of war. has
contrived to keep its head under cover,
now comes peacefully outwith an edi-
torial on True Patriotism" A great
deal has been said about patriotism
in the last six weeks. and great deal
of it has been shown in various ways.
big and little. With the exception OF
few papers which have steadfastly
taken their own course, persuaded
that they knew best, the press of the
country has been substantially agreed
on the real nature and evidence Of pa
triotism. The Boston Herald was one
Of these exceptional papers. 1t now
tells us. In calm and measured ac-
cents, on the morning after the news Of
the Manila victory reached Boston.

rushing madly to recruiting offices and
offering ones self for military service,
or passing bills designed TO provide for
the expenses of national defense. Real
patriotism will express itself differ
emily. 1t will attend to duties near at
home. Why, says the Boston Herald,
with tears in its voice, why does its
legislature permit deadly poison TO
be carried into every household? Why
does 1t neglect to protect the people
of its Commonwealth against a most
insidious foe? OF what avail is it to
wage war against foreign enemy. if

ciares the Boston Herald. is to devote
his utmost energies to the eradication
of the fell disease of consumption
among the cattle of Massachusetts.
Doubtless, this is a worthy object,
and the whole country will sympathize
with the Herald in its intense longing
for pure milk. Milk is a necessity to
some natures, and the addition of
germs TO this hygien!c and harmless
beverage must be counted as nothing
less than a crime. Nobody can pos
sibiy blame the Herald for its earnest
efforts to awaken the public conscience
on this important point. But does ii

great naval victory, in which men of
the American Navy have shown before
the whole world the pluck. daring and
coolness of American charactera vic

The opposition to the measure in the

the resolution comes over from the other

Dinereat New. From Manila.

We have heard SO much of late 20
the effect that the Philippine Islands,
but particularly the island of Luzon,
on which Manila stands, formed one
vast scene of riot and carnage, that it
is agreeable, by way of a change, to
hear something a little less CORY from
that quarter of the world.
Today the New York Herald prints a
dispatch from its Manila correspondent
which tends to put a better complex
ion upon the state of affairs in and
about that blockaded city than We
feared. from previous accounts. was
possible The Herald states that
the country is quiet and that the
native population is waiting events.
They are glad to have the Amer
leans capture the archipelago, but
are afraid to disclose their SEN
timents for fear that We might
give the country back to Spain after
the war, and then their old oppressors
would wreak characteristic Spanish
vengeance upon them. They are intei-
ligent enough to know that if We choose
to keep the islands they will be pro-
tected from the prosecutions and rob
berry to which they have been always
subjected under the flag of Spain, but
they want to be sure of the future be-
fore committing themselves. They are
wise.
We do not believe that they have any
cause TO fear that this country will
surrender them to the tender mercies
of the Spanish butchers. nor that any
of them will live to see a flag othtc
than the Stars and Stripes floating over
the Philippines. All talk to the con-
trary is manufactured in the lie fac

It is probably true that some Spanish
vessels of one class or another are feeling
around the coast Of New England. with a
view to make an attack upon any unpro-
tected point they can find. The chances
for their doing any damage are not great.
Our northern coast is pretty well pro-

The Shelby Estate.

A year ago last December, Colonel
V. S. Shelby died in E. Psso, Texas,
leaving large estate, mostly situated
here, where he had for so many wears
made his home. HIS will was probat-
ed in this county after bitter contest,
and since that time litigation over it
has been almost constant The last
case before the probate court was the
claim of Marcus Brunswick, of Las
Vegas, for IS, 900 the amount of the
penalty named in an injunction bond
given by Shelby in some litigation
which he had in Colfax county in 1893.
The claimants we're represented by
Hon. Frank Springer and A. A. Jones,
of Lss Vegas, and the estate by E. L.
Bartlett and Geo. w. Kpaebell, guard
dian and liten for the minor benei-
Charles under the will. This case was
strongly fought, aud was heard on the
10Th day of March last upon arpu-
ments, brief and testimony, 'since,which
time IL was being considered by Hon.
Teleforo Rivera, probate Judge, who
on Satu rday rejected the claim. 1t is
supposed that the claimant will appeal
