The ice outlook is very much more
encouraging now than a short time
ago, though at that time it was most
ly talk. y very large and fine crop was
obtained and already some has
been shipped away and at present
crews are working, loading al the
Knickerbocker. SmithtoWn. Great
Falls, Independent and Hawthorn
houses. while at the Village and living
Point houses. they are all ready to
start IN. The chief reason for no
more shipments is not on account of
lack of orders for ice as much as for
the want of vessels which seem to be
very hard to obtain. While not so
much money is expended in summer to
the laborer for the shipment of ice as
in winter. there are many men who de-
pend on this work for livelihood and
a small shipment during the season
means loss of thousands of dollars to
the laborer which later reaches the
trader. Then full houses at the be
ginning of winter means no operations
during the winter. The work of ShinS-
ling the Weeks houses is expected 10
be finished, today. Many dollars have
been expended for improvements here
this spring.

LA PATRIA OF HAVANA.
Ono Of the Best Cuban Papers, Strongly
Endorses American Rule.

Havana, May 10.-A sensational re-
port has been published in the local
papers here of the discovery of 500
Mauser rifles in the posseSsion Of a
prominent anti-annexationist of Ha-
vana. Chief of Detectives Alfonso
Lopez characterizes the report as alb
surd and says that it was customary
for Spanish colonies to keep the regi-
mental arms at their house, where
they would be accessible to the SOL
diers in case of need Senior Lopez
said that he knew of many such officers
houses that had not yet been searched
and he believed that he could collect
many more arms within As hours and
probably obtain 10000 rounds of ammu-
milton.
Casa Blanca. the fishing village
across the harbor. which was formerly
a breeding place of disease, has been
disinfected and Whitewashed and the
Chinese have been removed from the

reports that the place is now free from
infection.
The Cienfuegos papers praise the
work there of the American authorities
saying that the streets are kept clean.
the poor are protected and shipping
and general trade are the best in many
years.
La Patria, one of the best edited in
Havana. comes out, today. with an
editorial strongly endorsing the
American administration. Its utter
anceS are regarded as representing the
best thought of thinking element in the
community. La Patria contrasts the
American method with that of the obsti-
nate Spanish in dealing with even the
simplest reforms. On this point it
says:
Formerly there was agitation among
the people: oceans of ink and tons of
paper were used: floods of oratory were
poured out. and then every thing ended
at Madrid in the froth of Spanish
promises. on the other hand in these
days of fruitful though silent work, we
learn of the most radical reforms when
they are published in the Official Gaz-
cite, without being preceded by mag
nificent conglomaration of oratory and
colored fire"
AS an illustration of its argument La
Patria cites the separation of church
and state and draws a picture of the
have occurred if such a subject had
been agitated in the 18th century. Yet
this has been accomplished, it says,
by the Americans and through this Il

faced

DEWEY AT MANILA

A tropic night studded with stars,
Whose light glints down through cloudy bars
Over the waste OF waters wide,
White burrows mark the oceans tide,
AS ships go gliding through.
scent OF spice on the southern seas,
A scent OF flowers on the passing breeze,
An open way meath rocky height,
And the mist, it hideth the rest from sight,
AS the ships go stealing through.
Hark, cannon's roar gives warning wide
With sullen sound DER Inc liquid tide,
With vengeful force, they put IN vain
The arrowy sleet of their iron rain,
Al the ships pass safely through.
An armed fleet with the flag of Spain,
A city that sumbers beside the main,
Grim batteries that d efiance frowns
From island fort and walled town,
AS the ships pass stately through.
Then volleyed the thunders of fort and feet,
Their iron hail lashes the face of the deep,
Their only answer the flag of the brave,
The stars and stripes float over the wave,
AS the ships range in order through.
An order briet, and bursting roar,
An echo that passes from shore 10 shore,
Then loose the bolts of destruction broke.
And voices, and thunders, and lightnings
spoke,
AS the ships go volley ing through.
A ruined fleet whose thunders are spent.
A silenced fort with battlements rent,
And awestruck thousands gazing there,
See the flag of freedom float on theiair
AS the ships pass as vietors through.
Uphold the noble. hearted ones,
Let Freedom stand by her signal guns,
Gods ministers are still the brave,
Mans freedom to uphold and save,
Let Freedoms ships pass through.
