NEED OF cOALING STATIONS.

The report of the chief of the naval
bureau of equipment contains a long
complaint about this countrys lack of
coaling stations. Great as that lack is,
the improvement over conditions exist
ing two years ago is inestimable. AS a
result Of the Spanish war, this country
is beautifully supplied with coaling
stations throughout the Pacific The
next American commander who fights
an engagement in the orient will not be
in Dewey's predicament when San
Francisco was the nearest port open
to an American fleet. In the West In
dies we have numerous ports and
strong strategic positions.
Our chief lack is coaling stations in
the South Atlantic and Pacific from
which to attack South American states
in the event of war. But Hawaii is not.
after all, such a bad base on the west
ern side, and Venezuela and the north
ern South American states are easily
open to attack from the West Indies.

WOODS APPOINTMENT.

The announcement is that Gen. Leon
ard Wood is to be the first governor of
Cuba, under the civil regime, which
begins January 1. Gen. Wood is the
logical candidate for the position. On
his merits he should have been ap-
pointed military governor, and only
failed of getting the office from the
presidents fear that to appoint a sub
ordinate to that important office over
the head of major general would pro-
duce discord in the army.
Now, however the last United States
regiment is soon to be removed and
civil rule established. Brooke's admin
istration has not been all that it might
have been, and the result of the new
experiment will be, watched with in
terest. Great confidence is felt that the
late colonel Of the rough riders is ca
pable of performing on a larger scale
the good work he-ha accomplished in
Cuba.

BIDDING GooDBY.

Members of the Forty-third Regiment
Bid Farewell to Friends.
Ten or a dozen members of the Forty
third regiment, stationed at Fort Ethan
Allen, were in Worcester yesterday bid
ding their friends goodbye. They left
the fort without leave and when they
return, will be subject, they say, to a
court-martial, but are willing to take
the consequences. Among the men is
George Corbin, who went away with
the Emmett Guards to Cuba as a mas
cot, because he was considered too
young to enlist. He suffered from the
effects Of the campaign, and after get
ting back to Worcester, accepted an
opportunity to enlist in the volunteers
and was assigned to the Forty third
When seen by The Spy man, yesterday,
Corbin said he was feeling finely, and
was glad to be able to leave the coun-
try as an enlisted man and not as a

MR.. CABLES GRATITUDE.

To the Editor of The Spy: I thank you
cordially for the amount of attention your
paper has given my remarks of Thursday
before the gathering in Memorial hall. /
should have considered a much briefer
notice as quite all they deserved At the
same time, please let me say that owing
to the two facts that I had no summary
and that the report of them was not taken
in shorthand, the group of necessarily
disjointed sentences that have appeared
must not be taken as an accurate pre-
sentation of what l said or of what 7
sought to convey. Were it not that I
must leave Worcester in a few hours. and
that [ have a day before me crowded with
imperative tasks, I would have correct
ed resume of what l intended to convey
in my extemporaneous remarks of last
evening, too fiatteringly termed by you an
address. G, w. Cable.

Mrs. Allen got her divorce from Rev.
William A. Allen a Methodist minister,
formerly of Asbury Park, now of Colo

senior. She married him, she testified,
out of pique, and soon regretted it.
They fought from the call of time.
The clergyman told her her father was
a soft old fool" and struck at her while
he called her a little devil" and told
her he would smash her head in a
thousand pieces and dash them down

said she was not good looking, and he
wondered why he married her.

Once" said Mrs Allen, getting up
speed "he chased my daughter (his
stepdaughter) from the room with a
carving knife, smashed the dishes, tore
down the portieres and thrashed around
generally because my father wouldn't
supplement his $4,000 salary with an
extra $1,000 a year.

me was $12 outing suit, one dress at

A frightened Horse Causes Damage
on Austin Street.
At the corner of Main and Austin streets
Thursday afternoon three teams were in
collision, and for a few minutes things
looked bad for all concerned. A turnout
owned by G. P. Kendrlck & Sons, occu-
pied by young man and wife, was the
principal cause The horse became fright

rection of Main. At the corner of Aus
tin and Main Dr.. J, K K Warren's car ar
runaway, and the left hind wheel on his

maddeued animal, and little further on
he smashed into Mrs. E. A. Pursey's
baker wagon. An ice wagon owned by
E. NJ, Bond was behind the baker wagon
and all three We're mixed up before the
animal was finally stopped. The couple
in the team were uninjured, and when
everything was Strengthened out DR., War

AS to the lack of coaling stations in
Europe, that is a lack that is likely to
worry. The event of the United States
attacking any of the Europeans in their
own waters is so remote that there is
little need for naval stations in those
waters Likewise our deficiency in that
respect is balanced by the lack of Eu
ropean naval stations off our own coast,
Great Britain being the only nation
well provided for in that respect.

The lord mayors annual dinner is al
ways the occasion for the premier and
others having the direction of the
British empires affairs to take the
public into their confidence and answer
personal criticism.
Lord Salisbury's defense against the
charge of military nprvparedness is
most reasonable. Had a large force
been shipped to South Africa two
months earlier, the crisis would only
have been FASTENED by so much, and
the Beers would have forced the issue
as they have since done.

Alger and other notables of ages gone
by, has at last emerged from his in
conspieuousness by giving $500 to the
widows of soldiers killed in the Trans

Mr.. Aston to give a like amount to the
widows of the sailors who persisted in
the Maine or of his brothers com

In obtrudng her eggs into the rests of

From one 10 seven eggs of the parasite are
found in the nests of the dupcs. In Elost
cases the number is two. but in the case of
ground builders the cowbird seems to have
little fear of overdoing her imposition.
Maj. Bendire saySsthat he once found the
nest of an ovenbird which contained seven
cowbiId's eggs and only one of the little
owners.
If parasitsm were the only crime of the
cowbird one would not feeiso much disposed

she will sometimes puncttire the eggs of the

the claws. i
