Opinions upon the Japanese and Rus
sian fleets vary. Many of the officers
in the squadron believe that the Rus
sian fleet is much stronger than that
of Japan, and that the fleet of the lat
ter will be blown out of the water. OF
course they ought to know and are
certainly thoroughly qualified to judge.
But even military and naval men some
times misjudge The French army,
before the PJussian war, was
considered the finest army in Europe,
But the German army simply ate it
up. The Spanish Armada appeared ir-
resistible, but it was smashed up by
the little British fleet. The Russians
never have made good sailors and
though they may have great fighting
machines, unless they can use them to
the best advantage the machines may
Drove but their own collins. However

Carthagena, whittier a couple Of
United States warshius have gone to
give the Colombans an impression IS
one of the old Spanish cities of the
New World. 1t was taken by French
buccaneers as far back as 1914. Sir
Francis Drake captured and pillaged it
in 1855, and ransomed it from complete
destruction for 10000 ducats. In 1897
the buccaneers made another attack,
and carried off an enormous treasure.
In l74l it was bombarded by the British
Admiral Vernon, but the attack failed.
In the long war which was Waged be-
tween Spain and her Colonies, Cartha-
gena was beseiged by Bolivar, and
since then its streets have run blood
in countless revolutions. Altogether
Carthagena has had a somewhat stormy
history and has endured some terrible
periods.

The government of the French Re-
public makes little ado about its rioters
and very promptly claps them into Jail.
Once in the clutches of French law,
they have some difficulty in getting
out. The theory of French law is that
the arrested man is guilty, and all
kinds of ingenious devices are resorted
to make him confess his guilt. In the
case of the rioting Paris bakers they
have something on their side. 1t is
not just that through a charitable or
ganiZation the Ordinar market price Of
bread should be lowered or particular
retailers should be favored by such an
organization. But the bakers will get
punished safe enough.

Michigan has broken out with the
lynching fever. As long as the law
gives such chances of escape to GRIM
mails and as long as there are so many
delays in bringing them to trial, lych-
ing will continue and will spread from
state to state and Territory to Terri
tory. We have never had a lynching
here, but the utter failure of justice in
the trial Of Jones will assuredly bring
one about. Then the courts and the
criminal lawyers will tumble to the
fact that it is unwise to palter with
true justice.

While we have been enjoying the
most delightful of weather, mild, yet
bracing, with bright sunshine and calm
seas, the Atlantic Coast has been swept
with terrific storms, and vessels strew
the iron bound coast, the unfortunate
sailors suffering terribly FROM the icy
blasts and half frozen waters. Truly
we live under the happiest of condi-
tons.

The right of the Governor of the Ter

not be challenged again. Hawaii has
several privileges peculiar to itself,
owing to its isolated condition. This
is one among them, and saves a long

BACOLOD CAPTURED BY TROOPS
One Hundred Moros Killed and MANY
Wounded-Three Americans
Receive Injuries.

Manila, April 11.-Captain Perish
ing's force captured Bacolod, island Of
Mindanao, Wednesday, killed 100
Moros and wounded many others.
Three Americans were wounded.
Pershing's force consisted of Shaw's
battalion Of the Twenty-seventh in.
fantry, Kilpatrick's troop of the Fiji
teenth cavalry and McNair's battery.
Pershing was surveying the west
shore lands when the Bacolodians op.
posed his advance and provoked the
fight. Pershing surrounded and at.
tackled their stronghold, first Smelling
them, and, rushing his troops forward,
charged CALAMITY. After crossing
deep moat and entering the fort the
Americans engaged the Moros, bayo-
nets against krisses. Among the
Baeolodians killed was the dato of
Panandungas. After the capture Of
the fort it was destroyed.
The Bacoiod leaders and the ma
jority of the people of that district
had been hostile to the Americans
and encouraged attacks on the Amer
lean camps. They rejected tenders OF
friendship. It is expected that the de-
feat of the Bacolodians will result in
all the Moros acknowledging Ameri-
can sovereignty.

on the kings life was planned for next
Sunday. The plot was discovered and

Iowa Ordered Out Of Commission.

Pensacola, Fla, April 1.-THE dam
age to the aattleship Iowa caused by
the premature explosion of a shell in
the forward port Pinch gun has de-
veloped to be more serious than was
thought when the first examination
was made and the big ship has been
ordered to the New York navy yard to
go out of commission. It is known
that three decks, including the upper
deck in the forward part of the ship,
will have to be entirely removed and
rebuilt. 1t is feared that the steel
supports under the Pinch port turret
are sprung to such an extent that they
will have to be removed. The gun
itself is a hopeless wreck. According
to the record of the exploded gun it
was good for at least another year OF
service. Reports that the gun had
been condemned are declared to be
without foundation.

TWO CENTS
$4,000 TO BIZ SPENT
BY the B Is O. in Morgantown
This Summer.

Big improvements are. Planned and
Orders are Issued for their Exeeu
tion-New Freight Warehouse and
Bigger Passenger Station PromIs>
ed Protest is said to Have Met
with Favorable Response.
Morgantown is to have a new
freight depot and additional facill-
ties for shippers before the present
summer has ended. She will also
receive more attention at the hands
Of the B. d O. as far as the travelling
public is concerned.
These announcements wera made
this morning by Agent A. D.Griffith
to this paper. Mr. Griffith stated
that he had talk today with w. A.
Race who had been IN Baltimore to
present protest sent from Morgan
town and other shipping points,
He had consulted with several Ct
the higher officials there and before
he left be had seen letters dictated
which started the machinery into
faster operation to relieve the local
situation.
For months past the officials have
been wrestling with the local prob
lem. They have surveyed and had
plans drawn only to reject them one
after another One objection raised
to the contamination of any plan
which has for its object building on
the present location of the depot is
that there is not room enough there
to do any thing.
1t has been decided to put in a
freight warehouse l25 feet wide and
240 feet long. The site for this has
not been announced although it has
been selected and twenty cars may
be ualoaded at once at this ware
house.
A number of improvements will
he made for handling passenger
bus sss as well. The estimated
expenditures in connection with the
lmpfo sements Planned aggregated
$4,000 This will be done without
fail this summer
Orders have been sent to lower
officials telling them to get busy
with their departments and see to
it that this is done at the earliest
possible moment.
In the meantime very little can be
done to help matters locally. Mr..
G. w Huston who has been in
Pittsburg asking after siding for
the Morgantown Lumber and Sup
ply company was told that the
siding would not be put IN until the
b. d @. had determined where its
additional sidings for the freight
warehouse were to be located.
Every thing locally has been stopped
until the road can determine lust
what it shall do and where it shall
be done.
Before very long the protest which
has been made will bear fruit. The
business men of the town may begin
to breathe easier when they see the
work started. They have been
promised so many things and so
often and have never seen any thing
done that they are getting rather
skeptical about any thing being
done.
Mr. Griffith states that he has
every assurance that the officials
recognize the Importance of Nor
gantown as shipping point and
know full well that it is Improving
all the time and that they must
make improvements to keep pace
with the demands on their facilities.
They will now get as busy as they
can and see to it that the town gets
