Indian War Rumers.

Another Indian war scare is threat
ened. This annual episode in Ameri
can life is not quite due. A year has
not elapsed since it was feared that
the war with Spain would have to be
temporarily interrupted to deal with
the savages. They had gathered on all
island in some lake in the Northwest,
and they had guns in their hands, and
actually did fire al somebody. but the
sequel proved that they were running
away to escape arbitrary arrest. They
were very much more afraid of the
white man than the latter of them.
and surrendered themselves with fierce
JOY when assured that they would not
be harmed. On this occasion the In
dams at the White Rock Agency are
disturbed. They want to go back to
their old reservation.
This is ample basis for war scare,
but it is untimeiy. The public has its
hands full just at present The Ameri-
can troops are fighting battle day
in the Phlippines-sometim two-and
they are sure enough battles. and not

public is in no mood to consider the
harmless capers of few dozen In
dams. The scare comes at the wrong
time 1t is not due until the dosdays,
anyhow. 1t needs hot weather and q
jaded public twirling its fingers idly at
the seaside to produce interest in

Boston Journal: Once more the little
island town of Deer Isle, Me-. gains the
distinction of furnishing good all
round Yankee crew for the Americas
cup defender. Before the Valkyrie-
Defender races of 1895 the sailors who
manned the American champion in
these international contests had been
picked up anywhere out of the Ordi-
nary run of merchant jacks in New
York harbor. Sometimes it happened
that there were few real Americans
among them. and that the predominant
element was Scandinavian-gOod men
and true but lacking in an emergency.
so it is said. something of the quickness
and determination of sailors of our
steel-nerved New England stock. Four
years ago the builders of the Defender
resolved to have crew as thoroughly
American as their yacht was. By adj
vice of veteran master mariners, they
chose a group of thirty or forty Deer
Isle sailors. and after the races it was
the universal verdict that this crew of
Yankee seamen was the finest which
had ever sailed for the Americas cup.
Deer Isle lies in the eastward part of
PenODscot bay, on the route to Mt.
Desert. 1t is separated from the MAIN
land by the broad and beautiful sheet
of water known as Eggemoggin reach.
Summer visitors by thousands who
have sailed along its green. pine-clad
, shores know Deer Isle as place of
great romantic beauty but it is known
among sailor men as the home of as
hardy and dauntless maritime pOpU-
lation as is TO be found anywhere in
the world. The island can scarcely
