JIM's LETTERS.

Po'little Jim think er him,
An something in me cries,
These latter days, when thar's haze
Comes in his mothers eyes.
Jis now an then see II, when
She's thinking Of the boy,
Who went away one summer day,
An tuck his mothers joy.
Twas in the time of our prime;
Grim war was calm loud,
When little Jim stepped out so prim,
An han'some, game an proud.
Twas sorter so l couldn' go
had so much to do,
To work an find for them behind,
An see the old folks throo.
But little Jim. whose eyes was dim,
For jes a seconds flight,
He up an lowed he'd be the crowd
To do the family fight.
But Jim could write as we'll as fight,
An when his letters come,
Up at the head, in blue an red,
Was flags, an fife an drum.
Indeed, an truth, that little youth
Had pictur's by the score,
An every time he writ line,
He sent US one er more.
But Nancy said at when she read
What Jim had to tell.
1t holp her throo, for then she knew
AT he was safe an well.
But atterwhile the faint-like smile
OF Nancy faded out;
The mail was dumb-no letters come
An hope was drown'd in doubt.
The other men come home again,
But Jimmy wasn't long
In battles strife his brave young life
Had fined the hero throng.
An now, know dear Nancy so,
Her eyes with tear drops dim,
Tell me, right then, she's read again
Them pictured notes from Jim.

The ruling made by the internal rev.
enue department some time ago refusing
10 grant licenses for the sale OF liquor TO
whisky scows on the river went into
effect yesterday, all licenses expiring on
that date. The owners Of scows evidently
are determined not to be run out OF
business by the government, and a good
many Of them along the river have
beached their places Of business above
high water mark. As the ruling affected
only floating craft they will be able TO
secure a license and do business as form
erly. The owner Of scow near Knappa
called al the auditors office yesterday
for the purpose OF obtaining information
as to how he should proceed and what
height from average low water consti-
tuted high water mark. He left the
Office saying he would be sure" and
hauled his scow up another foot. which
was already beached at the height Of an
eight-foot tide. The whisky scows run
ming on the river during the fishing sea-
son are occupying selected locations for
trade. and their removal from their pres
ent positions to the beach will AFFECT their
trade but little. 1t is probable, though,
that the counties along the river in which
the scows are located will step in and
demand Of them the payment OF a county
license.

The cabinet ministers admit that
the naval battle off Cavite ended in
utter rout, but they are resolved tc
spare no efforts in the defense of theil
country. Considerable surprise and
disappointment has been caused by
the destruction done by the American
fleet, as it has been officially stated
that the authorities at Manila had re-
SSiNCu w tolpcuOco anu Heufy Suus
to strengthen the coast defenses, par.
llcularly the defenses commanding the
two channels on the right and left OF
CorregidOr Island.
1t is noticeable among all classes
especially among politicians, that there
Is a strong hope of an intervention
by continental powers, especially Ger
many and Russia.
1t is suggested here that the half
breeds at the Manila arsenals, who arc
rebels at heart. cut the cables con-
Meeting with the submarine mines, and
thus enabled Commodore Dewey tn
force the harbor in safety.
No real bcmbardment will be neces-
sary to destroy Manila If the shells arc
of such description as will set houses
on fire, the bulk of which there are
of wood or bamboo. Only the public
buildings are built of stone, while tho

TIE OCCUPATION OF CUBA.

Our Troops MGy Leave For the Island
. on Sunday Next.
Tampa, Fla, May 3.-Two hundred
native Cubans who have been quietly
enlisted In New York city by General
Julio sanguily arrived In Tampa last
night. They will be formed into q
cavalry regiment and. under the leader
ship of the famous Cuban who en-
listed them, will probably embark for
Cuba with the American troops. Tho
rest Of the regiment will be made up
Of Cubans from Tampa and vicinity.
The New Yorlters created q sensation
rs they marched down the street In
a body, and they were followed for
blocks by q perfect mob Of excited
Cubans.
Slowly, but surely. arrangements are
being made for the landing Of an
American force in Cuba. The Plant
system yesterday gave formal notice to
the government that its steamers Oil.
vette and Florida. both Of which ara
In port here. were at the disposal Of
the government for use as troop ships.
The Mascotte, Of the same line, was
turned over this morning.
BY Friday seven other vessels arc
expected to be In waiting at the
wharves at Tampa for the reception
Of the United States troops. The boats
all have been contracted for and have
q carrying capacity of about 5000
troops. 1t Is not believed, however,
that actual embarIation will take place
before Sunday. Much remains to bo
done In the way of gathering asnmuni-
ton and supplies, and several dayJ
must elapse before all Is in readiness.
II 10 believed that the force will bo
made Of 5000 infantry. 1000 cavalry
and 10 batteries Of artillery, in all close
to 5000 men. Only one regiment of
cavalry, the Ninth, Is l,ow in camp at
Tampa, but the Tcnth, now at Chick
anauga, will. it Is believed. be brought
down here to fill out the quota.
The fortitications at Egmcnt and
Mullet Keys. commanding the south
channel Of Tampa bay, and on which
work has been rapidly pushed, are now
practically complete and ready for the
mounting OF the guns.
