to reach the craters.
No one is better aware than Professor

spouting flame and belching forth tons
of ashes: with the possibility. even

push his investigation to almost the

SPANS BEST FRIEND.

There is a contest now going on
81 n four of the great powers Of Eu-
rope to secure a close alliance with
Spain-for what reason it is impossible
fo7 the man on the outside to see.
What advantage England, France.
RUssuia or GLrmany could secure by
gaining The special good will of the
Young king Of Spain and forming a
close alliance with his kingdom to the
exclusion OF the others is beyond
Imagination. Nevertheless his diplo-
matte contest is on and each nation is
trying to the young king that
she was mis- Country's best friend.
Combining the results Of the Span

ed spain of u tremendous burden in
taking OF our hands her expensive and
troublesome colonies, paying her a
handsome price therefor, with the very
cordial reception of our special repre-
sentative at the coronation of King
Alfonzo XIII, it looks as If the United
States could easily outstrip these Eu-
roDean powers were she to enter the
lists against them.

CORONATION CEREMONIES AND DE-
CLARATION OF PEACE.

Next mont will occur the
of England's new ruler. AS an impor-
tant event connected with the corona
ton. King Edward is anxious to have
the declaration of peace in South Africa.
He is urging the fastening Of negotia-
tons so that the two events may be
simultaneous. A lasting peace, bring
ing friendship and harmony between
the two contending parties to a wal
which a cost both sides so much
treasure and so many valuable lives;
which has laid waste so much fair
land, would be the brightest jewel to
adorn the crown which is to be placed
on the head Of the reigning monarch Of
mighty England Upon the day of his
coronation.
The king, however, does not seem to
be anxious for the coincidence of these
events SO much for this reason as that
the conclusion of a war which has long
been distasteful to a large portion of
the British people would arouse the
waning enthusiasm ove the coronation
1t seems the masses in
LAG ~ L LOS d. u GhlI1uSSU ONST
the CONT event on which British royal
and aristocracy place so much i'm
portance as Is desired by those most in
1t is for the purpose of in
creasing this enthusiasm by giving the
people something really to rejoice for
that it is sc earnestly desired to have
the war terminated n peace declared
at the same time as the coronation.
Whether King Edwards desire will
be contaminated or not depends upon
the amount of red tape that is to be
used before peace is declared. That
peace will be declared is certain. II is a
war of which both sides are tired. Each
has lost more than the most favorable
terms could repay, and the longer the
war Is continued the greater will be the
loss OF both sides. 1t can be said that
the war is now ended. The only thing !
to be done is to settle the
status of the Beers.

PROPOSED LIGHTHOUSE FOR DIA-
MOND SHOALS.

A Washington City special to the
Philadelphia Times says:
The most dreaded spot on the Ameri-
a coast to mariners will probably be
marked with a lighthouse capable of
casting a y visible 80 or 40 miles out
on the Atlantic. Diamond shoal, off
Cape Hatteras, covering a stretch
about II miles long and whose outer
edge Is 13 miles from the coast line.
has claimed mere wrecks than any
portion OF the Atlantic seaboard.
A bill providing for a gigantic light
house on the edge of the shoal has al
ready passed tie senate and will prob
ably be favorabiy reported to the house
next week. 1t provides a lighthouse OF
the shoals built upon designs of Cap
tain Albert F. Ellis, of Boston.
The lighthouse is to be in 20 feet of
water, the concrete base to extend not
less han 20 feet above the water at
high tide. A circular steel structure for
keepers inc Siorerooms, about % feet
high is to be above the water. On top
of all this is 20 be a steel tower, or
mast containing a spiral stairway ex-
tending TO a height so that the light
shall be at least 200 feet above the va
ter line. The bill appropriates $500. 900
for the lighthouse and provides hat
two years operation an addi-
tional sum of s275.000 be paid Ellis.
Such a lighthouse would be a bless
ing to coastwlse navigation. 1t would
take from thai graveyard Of the sea
much Of its present danger to vessels
passing up and down our coast and
would incidentally benefit the port of
Wilmington.

MCDONALD AND O'BRIEN.

These two men, recently n a cap-
tain and the other a corporal in the
volunteer aTiny in the Philippines,
have been before the senate committee
investigating the conduct Of affairs in
those islands. The corporal made
charges OF most horrible crimes against
Captain Mcdonald and other army Of
ficers.
The captain denies these charges n
demands O'BTitn's prosecution for per-
jury. On cross examination though
Captain Mcdonald admitted that he
had burned a good many Filipino
towns and that he had seen the water
cure practiced on one native. Such
conduct We suppose, while not as
heinous as that charged by O'Brien.
would come under General Chaffee's
definition of unlawful retaliation"
We hope Corporal O'Brien will be
indicted in the civil courts for perjury
not that we nave prejudged his case
and are anxious to have him punish
ed: but through such proceedings in
the civil courts only can a correct
understanding of the conduct Of the
war and the conditions in the islands
be reached. The public will neve
gather n satisfactory information

by their comrades in arms for offences
committed against these "savages."

about $4,000 He died suddenly and

SULTANA,S ENGINEER.

Robert d. Long, of 834 Broadway,
was for time one of the engineers
OF the steamboat Sultana,. which blew.
up in 1864 on the Mississippi river
with part of an Indiana regiment among
the soldiers on board. Long left the
boat the trip beforesthe one on which
the explosion occurred, because of the
condition of the boilers.
He said today that he did not believe
there was anything in the story that
the crew was Confederate one. and
that the explosion was the result of a
plot to destroy the Union soldiers be-
ing carried by the boat from vicksburg
to Cairo.
"The boat had five boilers" he said,
"each with rs tubes She ran like a
snake In the water and made steam 70
easily that the firemen sat on the coal
and sang. but the river water was so
riley that her boilers would got scaly
and got to leaking.
"Fiie tubular boilers had been con-
demned, but she was using them. We
had plugs in the left aft end of them
to keep them from leaking, and they
were In bad shape. She was running
from Vicksburg to Memphis, and we
told the captain that she would have
to go ON to Cairo for repairs when she
got to Memphis.
He saw the quartermaster up town,
and then told us that she would have
to make another trip before going up
for repairs. We quit. We knew our
business and wouldn't go in boat
dn that condition. We had hardly got
home when We had heard that she had
blown up on the next trip north. Just
above Memphis on the way to Cairo"
