viii Adopt platt Amendment

The visit of the Cuban committee to
Washington has not only been pleas
ant to all concerned, but it has been
productive of much gjod. The doubts
fellow members of the Constitutional
convention had as 10 the construction
of that clause oxthe Platt amendment
in which the right was reserved by
this government, to intervene when
ever in its Judgment it might become
necessary to preserve order in Cuba,
was all cleared away by the explana-
lions made by President Mckinley
and Secretary Root, and they now see
the establishing of naval coaling
stations in Cuba by the United States
in a much more favorable light than

WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1901.
Modern Warfare and Arbitration.

Talking with one of the old soldiers
of Ellsworth recently about those
glorious but bloody days that tested
the souls of mcneil '65-we were
forcibly reminded of the wonderful
improvements in the implements of
war Improvements which, making
war more terrible, will eventually
make war impossible, and hasten the
day when the quarrels of nations will
be settled by arbitration.
The veteran of the Civil war spoke
of the tented field, the evolutions of
great bodies of men, the effectiveness
of the old Springfield musket. But
few of us civilians can realize the
very great changes that have taken
place in methods of warfare in the
few years since the Civil war.
There is nothing picturesque in a
machine gun throwing several hun
dred shots a minute; the brilliant
uniforms of the past have become too
dangerous for twentieth century
soldiers to wear, and the impressive
evolutions of men and horses in great
masses will probably never be seen
again on or near a field of battle.
And now it is announced that the
white tents, so beautiful when seen
from distance, and from time
immemorial an inevitable part in
every picture of war in it's gentler
manifestations, are also to vanish, and
in their place are to be used tents of
the unpicturesque hue known as
khaki.
Historic methods of warfare are
going the way of the s'noble red
man., the 'sprairie schooner and the
aureoled saint of the middle ages.
Personal strength, courage and dash,
the manual dexterity of the swords
man and the sharpshooter are no
longer the requisites, but it is all
brain work, mechanical dexterity,
mathematical accuracy. War has be-
come scientific. There will be no
more ''Charge of the Light
Brigade that poets have written of,
for one machine gun operated by
three men could knock hors de combat
cavalry charge of thousand men
in an open field. The glamour of the
battlefield has gone.
On the sea, too, the spectacular ele
ment of warfare is passing away.
The modern battleship, san iron
castle that floats" is striking
spectacle because of its effectiveness
as an engine OF destruction. 1t lacks
the beauty of the old ships that John
Paul Jones and Lord Nelson won
immortal fame in-the wooden ships
with their fair white sails and trim
rigging. The old Constitution with
her cloud on cloud of spotless white
sails sweeping across the blue of the
sea was as spectacular sight as one
might see in lifetime. There was
something romantic about the old line
navy. But the very aspect of the
present day "Oregon" or ''Iowa" is
something terrifying.
So, whether you take it on land or
on sea, war is becoming an appalling
thing to contemplate. And this is
well, for it must hasten the day when |
arbitration will settle the disputes of |
nations.

WOLVES IN MAINE.

Who Can Tell Whittier They Came
and Whittier They Went?
DR.. George A. Phillips, Of Ellsworth, in
letter to the Maine Sportsman, brings
up the interesting subject of wolves in
Maine. He writes:
am led to write this article from my very
great interest In and my very great ignorance
of subject concerning which l find many
others are equally interested and ignorant.
Some of your many readers may be able to en-.
tighten us; if SO, 1t will be an addition as we'll to
natural science and TO the knowledge of sports
men, who always glad to add to their store
Of information.
After some trouble and care, / have located
the coming of wolves to Maine In quantities--at
least to the southern portion-in 1883 They
came in great quantities; undoubtedly the num-
hers have been exaga Grated, but when all allow.
ance is maize, IL is true they were very plents.
They remained about - or Is years, and disap-
peared suddenly they CAME during the
early part of cur late civil war. in 1862 or 49,
Why they came and why they went; whence
they came and whittier they>went, are questions
OF great interest. Reasons and explanations
manful,i are given, most of them absurd. Some
tell Us that they were poisoned, a. many men
were engaged In oesrroying them, but there is
no evidence that any appreciable number were
thus slain; probably not one to twenty born-at
any rate they were as plenty or more so at the
last at the first.
Others. with more reason, tell us that their
going was due to the fact that they had killed
the food on which they lived mostly (the deerl,
but hunters tell me this-I wonder II 1t De true
throughout the State - that little before
wolves appeared, season or two, deer became
very plenty. that they remained so until a few
months before the wolves left. when they sud
denly disappeared 1 have always supposed
that the reason for the apparent prevalence of
deer at that time due TO the fact that they
were driven into and around the settlements for
protection by their enemy. However, l, with
others, would be very glad IL some enighten-
ment might be given byi the Old hunters who
lived at about that time.

Deer Isle Sailors at Bristol

The mir eteen Deer Isle sailors " no will
form part of the crew OF the "Consti-
tution", arrived at Bristol, r, l., Friday.
There were some of the seamen who
served on board .'Cournb ia" and "Defen-
der". They are a fine-iook,ug body of
men, all expressing themselves as being
anxious to get a view of the boat they
are to serve on, but few who tried to
enter the Herreshof shops were refused
admittance. These were the half dozen
sailors who arrived thursday from New
York, Watch Hill and other points.
When the Deer Isle sailors heard this
they changed their mind about asking
permission to enter.
The average age O: the men is under
thirty years. First Mate Howell met
the Maine seamen at the station here and
took .hem to the D'Wolf inn until the
arrival OF the tender "Mount Morris''
with the Long Island section of the crew.
other hotels in the town. The seamen
who had not been in this town previous
ly thought it queer that they could not
get a glimpse OF their boat when all
privilege was granted them to-day to
view the Independence. 1t was not SO
with the veterans who were on "Colum-
bia" and defender" in their races. The
men expressed themselves in effect that
Independence" WIS a Incorporating
boat, the hard biIge and fiat floor giving
them the impression that she would do
better sailing In reach or run than in
a race to windward.
One man voiced the sentiment of all by
saying that the toughest proposition was
the s'Columbia" sailed by Barr. Others
said that II the CONSTITUTION" outsailed
the "Columbian there would be no fears
of meeting all others. They think the
"Constitution" is well differed.
The pay of the crew began on April 10
last. The arranging of matters as to rae
ing money is to be reached shortly.
The crew will soon be set at work pol
ishing with emery the sides OF the boat at
Herreshoff's.

The Ellsworth Enterprise is the
latest Maine weekly to change from
the old blanket sheet form of four
large pages to the more modern one
of eight small pages. Our contempt
rary appeared in its new form for the
first time last week, and takes the oc-
casion of the change in form to change
the day of issue from Tuesday to Fri
day-a much better arrangement for
the readers of both the Enterprise and
THE AMERICAN, as it gives the public
practically semi -weekly paper, one
now being issued Wednesday after
moons and the other Friday after
moons. In its new form the Enterprise
is larger than in its old, being now an
eight-page paper, seven columns to
the page, one-half being what is
known to the fraternity as spatent
inside"; that is, comes to Ellsworth
already printed, while the other four
pages are set up and printed here.
Thus subscribers are given more read
ing matter at no greater cost, while
the expense to the publishers is con-
siderably lessened. The Enterprise is
to be congratulated on its changes.

Our West Brooksville correspondent,
commenting on the item in last week IS
AMERICAN regarding the mammoth new
steamship Celtic, says he thinks the
assertion that the "Celtic" will be 10000
tons larger than the "Great Eastern"
is mistake. We have not the dimen-
sions OF the two steamships at hand, but
give the figures OF our West Brooksville
correspondent:
The "Celtic" will be $50 feet in length, rs feet
beam. The "Great Eastern" was $50 feet in
length. 6s2 feet overall. 50 feet beam, whole
breadth over paddle boxes lis feet. The build
ing of her commenced in 1858, she was launched
in 1858. She made her first trip to New York in
1880 arriving there June %. Your correspon-
dent saw her steam up the bay and boarded
her soon after she was maize fast to her dock.
She was used as a coal hulk at Gibraltar for
several years, but finally was broken up and
sold for old Junk.

from the town at about a. m, and
walked some three miles, took teams to
Bucksport, marched through that town
