SELECTED STORY,
THE PRICE OF "seA PowsR.n


We have fed our sea for Thousand
years,
And she calls us still, unfed.
Though there's never wave of all her
waves
But marks our English dead
We have strowed our best to the
weeds unrest,
TO the shark and the steering gull;
If blood be the price of admiralty,
Lord God, we ha' paid it in full;
There's never flood goes shorew;vd
now
But lifts keel we manned;
There's never an ebb goes seward
But drops our dead on the sand
But sinks our dead on the sands for
lore,
From the Ducies to the Swim
If blood be the price of admiralty,
Lord God we ha' paid it in!
We must feed our sea for a thousand
years
For that is our doom and pride.
AS it was when they sailed with the
Golden Hind
Or the wreck that struck last tide
Or the wreck that lies on the spouting
reef
Where the CHASTITY blue lights flare.
If blood be the price of admiralty,
Lord God, we ha brought it fair!
-Rudyard Kipling.

HAVANA, May 31.-The military adj
ministration has been informed that
&C nspicuous leader of the late military
assembly is collecting money from
Havana merchants representing that it
is to be used as a revolutionary fund.
One merchant gave sum OF money on
the assurance that it would secure him
favorable status with the possible
future government. Then he revealed
to the Americans what he knew. The
extent or design of the rebellion are
only known to the Americans through
this informant, and whether there is
any further foundation for the sugges-
ton cannot be ascertained from the
merchant as he was told nothing would
be attempted for several months.
NEW YORK, June 2.-The World
correspondent at Hong Kong says:
The Olympia will not tarry on its
homeward journey, except to coal, until
it reaches the Mediterranean. She will
pass the Suez canal about July s. She
will spend the time until October l at
Mediterranean ports and in crossing
the Atlantic. Admiral Dewey sticks
close to the little top story room at the
hotel and declares it seems paradise
after sleeping afoat fifteen months.
He is gratified at the exemplary con.
duct Of the American Jackies ashore.
As a matter of courtesy and because
there are no Asiatics aboard it is un-
likely the olympia will be guarantees
anywhere.
