THE WAR SHIPS.
They Proce eded TO Sea This Mnr ming
En- ROut. t. Hampton Roads.


They Proce eded TO Sea This Mo, ming
En- ROuts t. Hampton Roads.
The flagship New York, battle
ship Texas and gunboat Machias
went to sea between 9 and 10 O'Clock
this morning and sailed majestically
and safely through the channel un-
der the efficient guidance of Com
mOdOre Bazzell on the New York
and Pilot Bell on the Texas, with
the light-draft Machias in the lead
as guide ship.
As fitting close of their stay
here, the Osceola club gave d recep-
ton last night at their elegant club
rooms in honor of Rear Admiral
Farquhar and staff, and the other Of
ficers of the fleet, which was one of
the most brilliant social functions
of the season. The club rooms were
brilliantly illuminated and artisti-
cally decorated with national col
ors, bunting, flags and ferns, and the
costumes were elaborate.
The coming here Of the fleet was
due entirely to the efforts of Com
mandant w. w. Reisinger. The
channel and cOaling facilities of the
port have been fully tested and q
most favorable report will be made,
which will ultimately lead to Pensa-
cola being named as a naval coaling
station, Which will hasten and assure
the rehabilitation of the Pensacola
navy yard and make of 1t one of the
most important naval stations of
this government.
This will mean much for PensacO-
la. With the machine shops at the
yard in active operation a large
number of skilled workmen will
find profitable employment and the
wages they receive will 90 in circu-
lation here and benefit every branch
of business. The frequent coming of
war ships will also put large sums of
money in circulation and make Pen
sacOla one of the best business towns
in the South,
This fact is demonstrated by the
money left here by the New York,
Texas and Machias. The men who
were given shore leave spent their
money freely and our business men
all profited thereby. Large sums
were also spent in supplying the
ships, Just how much it is impossible
to estimate, but one item alone
shows the extent of their purchases.
During the short stay here of the
vessels they bought 5000 lOaves Of
bread, over 5000 of which were sup
piled by the West Florida Steam
bakery. At ii o'clock yesterday
this enterprising firm received an
order for 1000 lOaves of bread-three
days supply for the Texas and Ma
chias-and they filled the order and
delivered the full supply on the 6.l5
dummy yesterday afternoon.
1t can be readily seen from this
that if the crews of the three vessels
5000 lOaves of bread dur
ing their stay here, their purchases
Of fresh fish, vegetables, groceries
and provisions must have amounted
to big money.
The business men of Pensacola are
loud in their praise of Commlpdant .
and they are anxious to .
earnestly cooperate with him in
carrying into effect the many plans
he has in view for the benefit of the
port.
Should Commandant Reisinger
need their assistance, they will
do all in their power to
prove that his recommendations
meet the hearty approval of the peo-
Die.

OFFICIAL NEWS RECEIVED,
Note In Court Circular Shows Tha1
MafekinH's Relief Is UndOubted,

Note In Court Circular Shows That
Mafeking's Relief Is Undoubted.
London, May 21.-The Court Circular
contains the following:
"The queen received on Friday night
with the greatest satisfaction and thank
fulness the news of the relief of MAIZE
king after heroic defense of over seven
months by Colonel Baden-Powell and the
troops under his command"
The significance of this, which refers to
the receipt by her majesty of copy of a
Pretoria dispatch, is that it is the first
official intimation of the relief of MAIZE
king, and it would not have been made
had any doubts existed in the official
mind as to the correctness of the news.
dispatch from Winburg, dated May
10, says
General Rumble reached Trommel %
miles from here, on Friday, traversing
exceedingly mountainous country. Com
mandant Olvier's commando is several
days ahead of him, but stray patrols Of
Beers are watching BUNDLES movements.
His men are in excellent form in spite of
the long daily marches"
A dispatch from Pietermaritzburg says:
''The occupation of Newcastle by Cen
eral Butler has caused great jubilation.
The magistrate and his staff, the mayor
and the corporation have left for New
castle. Many fleeing Beers have gone to
the Free State by Mullers pass. Others
have gone TO Wakkerstroom. Most of
them, however, have gone north as dis.
organized mob"

Relief Of Mafeking Was Accomplished
on May 16. ss..ss
COLONEL MAHON LED FORCE.
Started From Kimberley ON May 4.
Was Attacked by Strong Force
Of Beers. Who After
ward Reiterated.
COLONEL MAHON LED FORCE.

London, May 21.-It appears that the
relief of Mafeking was accomplished on
Wednesday, May 10, which would make
the length of the siege PIP days instead
| of 214.
the relief force left Kimberley secretly
early in the month under the command
of Colonel B. f. Mahon, who served with
distinction under General Kitchener in
the Dongola and Khartum expeditions.
Colonel Mahon's force consisted Of 1.50O
picked horsemen from the Cape police,
Diamond Fields horse, imperial yeoman-
~ and the Kimberley mounted regiment.
The force had three MaXims, and the
baggage was conveyed on led horses and
light mule wagons.
Dodge the Beers.
Colonel Mahon reached Maritzan, 80
miles south of Mafeking, on May II, aft
er passing the Taungs and Vryburg dis
tricts without cncountering the Beers.
\ late special dispatch from Cape
Town says that the column as it ap-
preached Mafeking from the south was
attacked by a strong force of Beers, who
We're repused. The column then pushed
on, and the Beers retreated hurriedly.
The rear guard continued in action for
some time. The British casualties were
slight.
Another Cape Town account of the
composition of the relief column says that
it consisted of 1000 men Of the South
African light horse, the imperial yeoman-
~ and the Kimberley horse.
Started on May 4.
1t left Kimberley on May with 81
wagons containing stores and ammuni
ton, with four guns of the horse artillery
and two MnXims and moved west of the
railway without meeting opposition. AT
Kraaipan the Beers fell back when at
tackled.
a special dispatch from Molopo, dated
May II, confirms the story of relief. 1t
states that large British force from the
south succeeded in entering Mafeking
"wednesday and that the
siege was raised by the Beers, their COM
withdrawing eastward.
Further details of the relief of the town
are awaited with interest.

Lo"renco Marques Story Says Beers
Will Ask That Hostilities Cease.
Lollrenco Marques, May 21.--The
Transvaal government has decided to
send message to Lord Roberts request
ing Il cessation of hostilities, demanding
a guarantee that the lives of all colonials
fighting with the Beers shall be spared
and stating that unless these terms are
granted the mines will be blown up and
Johannesburg destroyed.
Tho government has been for some time
considering the destruction of the mines.
President Kruger and the executive coun-
Gil were against the propositions, but
strong popular pressure was brought to
bear in favor of it,
President Kruger has had dream that
the war would be ended within three
weeks, which he firmly believes.
There is much uncertainty in Pretoria,
where's Kruger is the only strong hard.
The Boer president said that he would
fight until the last cartridge. Many Off
Gals and burghers are shaky and desire
a compromise. They do not want to de-
fend Pretoria for fear that their property
will be destroyed by bombardment. a
big meeting was held Thursday night, at
which the women of Pretoria passed res
olutions urging the defense of the capital
to the bitter end.
Provisions will soon be scarce in Preto-
ria. All is being taken to Lydenberg
where the capital may be removed. Not
understanding the discouraging situation
President Steyn maintains CHEEKY and
bold demeanor.

When man pays 800, 900 or more
for the privilege Of taking a hand in
making the laws for free people tc
live under the appearances would in
dictate that the mans influence will
not always be eXerted in conscien-
tious manner for promoting the pub
lie welfare. Bet he Democrat or
Republican, his presence in the halls
of Congress is dangerous. 1t means a
decayed timber in construction of the
republic, and it marks one step to-
wards the destruction of govern
mcnt for the people with the substi-
ton of the supremacy of individual
interests. An investigation by the
United States Senate proved that
Senator Clark of Montana was elected
to that body through fraud and brib-
cry. Facts show that after he was
cast out of the Senate he obtained an
appointment through trickery by
bringing about the departure from
the state of Governor Smith; and
while the latter was absent he secur-
ed the appointment to the United
States Senate by Lieutenant Govern
or Spriggs.
Upon his return Gov. Smith rovok-
ed the alton and appointed Martin
Maginnis to fill the vacancy. If the
Senate decides that Clark was never
legally elected, then it would have
been impossible for him to resign and
the latest appointment would amount
to nothing. The whole affair is a
disgraceful one. The probable out
come is stated by one of the Senator's
If by bribery of the legislatures, the
hocuspocus Of governors and by
fraud and corruption, the
Senate is to be filled; if the Senate is
helpless to purge itself of member
ship secured by bribery, and if the
governor of Il state may override the
of the Senate in such q
matter, the body will lose the respect of
the people and it will be the end of
our present system of elections to the
Senate. If this is the condition which
we must accept, the election of Scna-
tors by the people is the only escape. !

men could stand, and they agreed not to
