The Spanish Protest.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The main
In the Spanish situa-
tiOn today was In connection with
the definite representations submit
ted by the Spanish government to
the state department concerning
the assembling of a large fleet of
warships at Key West, the
war preparations and the influence
which these might have on the ap-
preaching elections in Cuba. These
representations were exactly in line
with the semi-official utterance given
in these dispatches last night and
accredited to a high official conver-
versant with the views of the Span
ish cabinet. While these representa-
tiOns cannot properly be regarded as
a protest against the attitude and
acts of the United States government
they may unquestionably be set
down as a remOnstrance calculated
to have an effect in European court
circles. Not, however, being a tech
nicaI protest, the statement has not
called forth any official rejoinder on
the part of the government, for 1t in
lacking in tangible accusations, be
ing rather an argumentative presen-
tation of alleged Spanish grievances.
The fleet at Key West will be aug
mented within the next day or two
by the arrival of the gun boat An
napolis, the torpedo boat Foote and
naval tugs Leyden and Samoset
while the gun boat Helena il now on
her way from the European station
under orders to report at Key West
The Helena reported her arrival to
day at Funchal on her way to joiT
the fleet. These and the other vessels
previously ordered to that point
constitute the largest assemblage o
| war vessels made since the demon
stration following the Virginiui
affair, and. considering the effective
ness and armu ument, 1t ia the strong
est assemblage Of ships for othe
than review purposes since the war

1t is our sad duty to chronicle the
death of Mrs. John Ross which took
place at her residence in North Emmett
township during the afternoon of Mon
day, February 18th last. For week
previous to her death she had patiently
borne mp under most painful malady,
heart disease, always resigning herself
to whatever the will of God should APP
point for her; but at length the end
came, and with calm submission she
surrendered her soul to her maker. A
strange circumstance, coincidence, or
what you VIII, is the fact that her late
husband John Ross departed this life
on the afternoon of February 18th,
1892, six years exactly to day. To the
many sorrowing friends who knelt
with her to implore the Divine assist.
ance in her behalf, it seemed more like
a gentle sleep than the hand of death
that was upon her. 1t was truly
Christian death and fitting close to
an able, well spent life On Thursday
February 18th, at 10 a. m, the remains
were conveyed TO the parish church
where a solemn requiem mass was
offered up for the repose of her soul,
and then the body was consigned to its
last resting place i'll the kenockee
cemetery. Deceased was 20 odd years
of age and leaves family Uf five sous
and two daughters Mrs. ID. McGiivary,
of Oscoda; Miss Saina, Of Chicago;

we offer our heartfelt sympathy and
with them let us take loving farewell
Of her in the words of the poet:
Friend OF my souli farewell to thee;
Thy truth, thy trust, Thy chivalry,
AS thine: SO may my last end he.

Burned Out at Turner.

Turner was visited by the destroyer,
fire, Sunday morning at O'clock.
The cry of fire was heard and it was
found that the Macarthur block was in
flames, hut 1t was past being saved, or
anything of account being gotten out.
1t was thought the fire started in the
store The stock of groceries, meat
aud iewelry, and all his furniture, in
GLIDING fine piano, were destroyed.
Mr.. Macarthur awoke and smelling fire
tried to go into an adjoining room
where the piano was, but the smoke
drove him back and he was forced to
content himself by saving bed and n
trunk containing his papers. The eff
forts of the people were then turned to
A. f. Seymore's property, which was
only few feet from the burning block
BY determined effort that would not
gig, no matter how hot the fire got the
mill was saved after severe scorch-
ing. This is very bad luck for Mr..
Macarthur as he had only begun busi-
ness there. There was only partial
insurance.
The above article was taken from one
of the state papers and refers to Thos.
Macarthur former resident of Yale.
Toms Yale friends will regret to learn
of his misfortune.
