once for selling beer. He moved from
Dover to Old Orchard some months ago.
The Dover police gave an excellent des-
cription OF the man and were undoubtedly
talking about the same person who COM
mitted suicide on Little Diamond island.
They didn't believe he had y family.
It Is not known where this daughter
W hom Prince mentions in his note book
lives but the police Of Portland will
make an effort 20 find her.
Deputy Marshal Firth telephoned Man
chester, N. H., and learned from the
persons who employed the man that they
had seen very little OF him, doing most of
their business with him by letter. The
last time they held any communication
with him was when they sent him a
check for small .amount some weeks
ago. They didn't know anythi ng about
his relatives.

CHANGE IN PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

Despite the notorious fact that Presi-
dent Mckinley, Secretary Hay and Am
bassador Choate are in hearty sympathy
with the Salisbury Chamberlain minis
try in the South African war, yet ninety
per cent OF the American people are on
the side OF republicanism in the dark
continent and desire the success OF the
burghers against the British buccan-
neers. The New York correspondents
OF the London papers have led the Brit
ish jingoes to suppose that this entire
republic has been solidly united in SEN
timent with the mother country" in
her war OF aggression on the Beers.
Notwithstanding the fact that the al
dermen OF New York city, of Albany
and Boston adopted pro-Boer resolu-
tions. and that monster meetings have
been held in the principal cities OF the
country in favor Of the South African
patriots, the British still hug the fond

JAcKsoN's GREAT VICTORY

The 9th Of January, 1915, brings back
to Our memory one OF the grandest
triumphs American valor scored over
England's Wanted pride. The nci-
dents and the hero Of New Orleans are
worthy of the admiration of every lover
of true history. The beginning of this
successful campaign found Andrew
Jackson suffering from wounds and dis
ease.
-Unhappily, political feud Of long
standing between Jefferson and Jack
son, was an obstacle in our hero's way
This descended to the Madison admin
istration and Jackson knew that if he
was to win official favor at all he must
win it by deeds so brilliant that no pub
lie documents could hide them. Then
the legislature of Louisiana were slow
in supplying Jackson with arms to sup
ply his troops. Nor was it easy to pre-
pare raw troops for combat with vet
Grams. On the night of December 23,
an indecisive action was fought some
distance from New Orleans, in which
the British lost heavily and were COM
PEELED to fall back. The cath was un-
eventful Christmas Day the Ameri-
cans strengthened their intrenchments.
The night of the 26th was spent by the
British in dragging guns from their
ships to the land.
Dec. 27 began with heavy cannon
ade from the British works. John Bull
was bent on destroying the Carolina
and Louisiana, two vessels that were in
the harbor, and which greatly aided
Jackson's forces. The British fire was
centered on the Carolina, and, while she
was being knocked to pieces, the Louis
lana, much more powerful craft, Sc
cured position where no British shot
could reach her, but where she could
easily reach the British Packenham's
army had destroyed mosquito and
missed hornet. The Americans
passed the night in the most desperate
sklrnnlshing "A British outpost would
be. attacked so fercely as to give the
impression that general attack was to
be made. In few minutes the Ameri-
cans would retire, and in twenty min
utes some other point would be as
sailed.
The restless Jackson had a plan OF
cutting the levee and drowning the Brit
ish, if other measures failed; but he
did not find it necessary to call water
to his aid. On the morning of the 18th
Of December the British advanced, but
the American land battery, aided by the
Louisiana, drove them back. Keane's
column was broken, Gibbs retreated,
the British artillery was crippled by the
terrible American gunners. The whole

Spain's Irish Admiral.

The grand old Spanish sea-fghter,
Admiral Montejo, whose fleet was ami
hilated by Dewey in Manila Bay, and
who was afterward court-martialed in
Spain for not having whipped the
Americans, now comes out in a manly
statement showing the cause of his de
feat and placing the blame where it
belongs, on the Spanish cabinet. He
says that when Cervera was ordered to
the West Indies that Spain was de-
feated from that moment. The division
of her fleet, and sending the better part
OF it into the very jaws of the enemy
was suicidal policy, while the old
hulks that were under his command
were not fit to face the magnificent YES
sells OF Dewey. The American guns
could shell the Spanish fleet and destroy
it while at safe distance, for no Span
ish gun could reach them. He and his
officers and men knew that certain de-
struction awaited them as soon as
Dewey was ready to begin the work of
death. With grim despair they awaited
the awful havoc, ready and willing to
show the world that Spain's sons knew
how to die in defence of their mother
land. They made no attempt to escape,
the orders were to fight Dewey, and as
soldiers OF Spain they were ready and
willing to obey those orders, although
they we'll knew it meant death.
The Irish Mountjoys were soldiers
and fighters before they went to Spain,
and it looks as though they have not
deteriorated.
