CABLE CUTTING
Is Easily Excused by the People Of
ENGLAND

LONDON. May 19.-The Times says ed
itorially this morning:
"It is evident that the naval authori-
ties of the United States are uneasy, and
very properly so, about the possibilities OF
a sudden attack in some unexpected quar-
ter. The censorship has been established
none too soon. 1t is difficult to understand
how the Spanish ships in the Caribbean
can continue to move about in this mys-
FERROUS manner, disquieting and perplex-
ing their adversaries, without permanen
arrangements for coaling, which, if they
exist, must be extraordinarily expensive
and precarious.
This is one of the aspects of the ques
ton that the new Madrid cabinet must
face at once"
Discussing the international law regard
ing the right to cut cables, ETC., the ar
ticle says:
I'VE cannot blame the United States FOL
trying to push their rights to the utmos
where it is evident that the Spaniards en-
joy an advantage by using the cables con
Meeting the British and other West India
islands with the rest of the world. II
should teach us, however, to secure oui
main lines of cable communication
against such risks of disturbance by con-
Meeting them as far as possible with s:a-
tons on British territory"

RETURN TO DUTY
Maine Deserter Anxious to Surrende,
Himself

DENVER, May 1S.-A dispatch filed at
Helper, Utah, from the News correspon-
dent accompanying the Colorado troops
says:
At o'clock this morning, when the head
quarters train was near Red Cliff, Col.
Hale was awakened from his sleeper by a
man who claimed to be a deserter from the
battleship Maine, and said that he had
boarded the train with q view Of giving
himself up to the United States authorities
He gave the name of Michael Powers. He
said he deserted January IS, 1897. His re-
quest was that he be taken to San Fran
cisco and delivered to the navy. Colonel
Hale took the mans description, tele-
graphed the circumstances to the secre-
tary of the navy at Washington. Powers
was given permission by the trainmen to
ride on the train until an answer was re-
ceived. He is man of 81 years Of age and
appears to give a straightforward story.
His opinion was that small punishment
would be meted out to him If he offered
himself again to serve in tine of war.

A SAFE BUILDING
Too Many Stores Made the Timbers
Shrink Little

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1s.-An fears
for the safety of the troops stationed at
Fontana barracks have been allayed by
the official report of Captain George Ruiz
len, United States army, chief quarter
master of the department of California,
who. in company with F. ]. H. Reckon, a
civil engineer, on duty with the depart
ment here, made a thorough inspection OF
the building and pronounces the same to
be not only safe, but unusually strong.
The cracking noises heard, which caused
the heavy artillery to vacate the ware
house are attributed to the fact that the
wood is checking from the heat engen-
dered by a number of stoves recently
placed in the quarters Of the heavy ar
tillery by the Red Cross society
Lieutenant-Colonel W. j. Fife. COM
manding the First and Second battahons
of Washington volunteers, after care
full inspection of the building, set re-
quest to General Merchandising that the
washington troops be permitted to remain
In their present quarters. The request was
granted as soon as General Merriam as
certained that the structure was safe.

THE JONATnANS'LATEST
A LETTER OF EXPLANATION rs
SENT TO DEWEY
Who Is Declared to Be an Honorary
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for the Boys
Of the Seventh

The Jonathans do not intend that their
name shall be confined to Los Angeles only
or to the state either. They want it known
as far as the other hemisphere that they
are a wide-awake, cosmopolitan crowd of
men, and patriotic, too.
When Charles +. Sloane, a popular
member of the club, appeared in the pa
rade of escort to the Seventh regiment as
Uncle Sam, most every one knew that that
was not the last they would hear of the
man and his Disguise of that day. He has
had himself photographed in his pet cos
tune, the picture being large and in col
ors, showing ell the various hues that made
Mr.. Sloane so conspicuous. He was taken
standing, with the Jonathan clubs flag be-
hind him to the right and the Stars and
Stripes similarly placed to the left. The
picture has been set in beautiful gilt
frame, which bears the following inscrip-
ton beneath the photograph, for 1t Is to
be sent to Rear Admiral Dewey: Pre-
scented to Admiral Dewey by Jonathan
club, Los Angeles"
The following letter will accompany the
remembrance, and is self-explanatory:
George Dewey, Rear Admiral U. S. N,
Manila:
Dear Admiral: The Jonathan club of
Los Angeles has performed many pleas
ant duties, memories of which we cher
ish, but the pleasantest act of our club
was the election of George Dewey, rear
admiral, U. s. N, as honorary MEM
Der at this our last regular meeting.
Prior to that date, Immediately after
receiving the news of your glorious
victory, we paraded the streets of our
city in force, cheering your name to the
echo.
You are our ideal of an American, on
land or on sea. Our club doors are open
to you and your friends. AT our BAN
quets a plate will always be laid for
you; If you are absent we know you
can be accounted for.
In our parade above referred to one
of our stalwart and patriotic clubmen
represented Uncle Sam" We send you
photograph of this noted parsonage,
who, with such commanders as George
Dewey, can whip the world.
Through you we beg to present our
compliments and congratulations to
your gallant officers. Believe us when
we say that our high appreciation of the
skill and undaunted courage of your
self and your fleet but reflects the pop
ular sentiment of the patriotic city of
Los Angeles. Devotedly yours,
THE JONATHAN CLUB,

little display of public spirit. They are

Editorial Tribute


special editions in heavily loaded borders
announcing the death of Mr.. Gladstone
The Daily Chronicle heads its editorial
with a quotation from Wordsworth:
This is the happy warrior; this is he.
That every man in arms should wish to
be-"
The editorial says: A glorious light has
been extinguished in the land. Mr.. Glad
stone Is dead and all his life lies in the
past, a memory to us and our children, an
inspiration and possession forever. The
end has come as to a soldier at his best.
1t found him calm. expectant. faithful, I'M
shaken Death has come robed in the ter
rors of mortal pain, but what better can be
said than that as he taught his fellows how
to live, so he has taught them how to die.
1t is impossible at this hour to survey the
mighty range of this splendid life. We
would assign to him the title "The great
nationalist Of the nineteenth century" To
Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Belgium,
his name is hallowed, but beyond all, we
claim him as the patriot the greatest of
the master builders of modern England.
Timidity had no place in Mr.. Gladstone's
soul. He was lion among men, endowed
with granite strength of will and pur
pose rare indeed in our age of feeble con-
victions.
The Daily News says:
We cannot help dwelling upon the opIn-
ions which Mr.. Gladstone held most strong
ly and the sentiments which he felt most
deeply because they are the only key which
unlocks his character and his life. One
Of his most characteristic qualities was his
personal humanity. This cannot be ex-
planned without the key; for Mr.. Glad
stone did not in the ordinary meaning Of
the word underrate himself. He was not
easy to persuade. He paid little attention
to other peoples opinions when his mind
was made up. He was quite aware of his
ascendency In council and his supremacy
in debate.
ION other questions he did indeed dis
trust his own judgment. In politics he did
not but the secret Of his humility was an
abiding sense that these things were of lit
tie Importance compared with relations be-
tween Gods creatures and their creator
Mr.. Gladstone once said with characters
tic candor that he had vulnerable tenn
per. He was quickly moved to indignation
by whatever he thought injustice either to
himself or to others. and was incapable Of
concealing his emotions, for II he said Moth
ing his countenance showed what he felt
More expressive features were never given
to man.
"Mr. Gladstones exquisite courtesy.
which, in and out of parliament, was a
model for all, proceeded from the same
source. 1t was essentially Christian. To
consider him apart from religion would be
like considering Tennyson apart from
nnafrv mr. Darwin anarf from acipuce EJie
religion, though 1t did not make him
gloomy, made him habitually serious.
Hence arose the fiction that ne had no
humor. This curious delusion seems to
have arisen from the undoubted fact that
he could never be induced to laugh at any,
thing indecent or profane,. but he was a
master of irony and could be extremely
and bitterly sarcastic. Moreover, nobody
laughed more heartily over an anecdote
that was really good. Different people.

The Supreme Moment

About o'clock quick movements about

people passing hurriedly to and fro before
the lighted windows gave evidence tina;
the supreme moment could not be far off.
Naturally, 1t was impossible to obtain in-
formation, as all those in the castle were
pear the death chamber. At o'clock the
long watch ended and the final bulletin
was brought out, announcing that Mr..
Gladstone had passed clamly from one
sleep to another

spected."

Nine-tenths of the nervousness, ir-
ritability and bad temper in
women is merely a symptom of ill
heaith-ill health of the delicate and
sensitive organism that makes her a
woman. If she is over-worked or
over-worr1ed, the effect will show
itself there first. There is no use
taking harmful and deadly narcotics
for nervousness and sleeplessness. 1t
will leave the body in a worse condi-
ton than it was before. The way to
effect a cure is to remove the cause.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will
do it. 1t has cured tens of thousands
of cases of female weakness and ner-
%vousness. 1t is a most wonderful in
MIGRATING nervine or nerve food. 1t

stores the glow and bloom of health.
1t is the only medicine now before the

YESTERDAY.
The United States Buys the Holland
Submarine Torpedo Boat From
the Inventor-A Wonder
In Its Line.

The United States government yes
terday purchased the new Holland
submarine torpedo boat from the
inventor. OF all torpedo boats in
existence this boat is the most formid-
able and will probably do great dam
age before she receives her quietus.
While not so wonderful as Jules
Verne's Nautaulis, this new boat has
in trial cruises stayed under water for
over an hour at a time and at one
time kept a whole feet guessing her
whereabouts.
The crew of the boat will be five
men, who, when they attack a vessel,
will give up all hope Of ever seeing
their loved ones at home. In the
assault her coming tower would
remain above water until her COM
mander had become assured that the
enemy had her range. She would
then extinguish her fires and prepare
for the final stroke, probably her first
and last. She would dive, launch a
torpedo from her bow tube, swim
under her prey and then launch
another from her stern. While escap-
ing she would doubtless be put to
sleep by either the guns OF the sinking
vessel or those of surrounding vessels,
eager for revenge.
To take the broad military view her
loss would simply mean that five
"Yankees" had exchanged their lives
for the lives of 500 Spaniards-that
several thousand dollars of our money
had taken several millions of Spain's
to the bottom with it.
