The Naval Horror of 1893.
The greatest naval disaster, remarks a
writer in the Illustrated American on fa-
mous marine disasters—if we except that
which over-took the Maine—was the total
loss of the British warship Victoria which
in July, 1893, was rammed and sunk in
the Mediterranean by her consort, the
Camperdown, during a series of evolu-
tions by the British squadron, until that
time unequalled in splendor. The Vie-
toria went down with 352 of her officers
and men, including her commander, the
Admiral of the squadron. There is much
in the history of this disaster that can never
be made clear, owing to the impossibility
of what was passing in the mind of Ad-
miral Tryon. He ordered the two divis-
ions of his squadron to perform an im-
possible evolution. The ships were in two
divisions, six cable lengths apart, moving
at eight miles an hour. Each division was
ordered to turn inward ‘‘the leaders to-
gether and the rest in succession,’ and to
reverse their course. At the rate of speed
ordered, and the distance separating them,
it could not possibly be executed without
collision. Everyone in the fleet agreed
that Sir George Tryon ordered an absolute-
ly impossible manceuvre. He went down
with his ship, and it can never be known
whether, as is naturally surmised, his
mind was suddenly overthrown. The Cam-
perdown’s speed when she struck the Vie-
toria, was about six knots, She struck at
an angle of 10 degrees abaft the beam.
There was a rapid depression of the how
and elevation of the stern, and, like the
Maine, the Victoria went down bow first.
——Four hundred years ago only seven
metals were known. Now there are fifty-
one, thirty of which have been discovered
within the present century.
——There are griefs men never put into
words, there are fears which must not be
spoken.
——That tired feeling is due to impover-
ished blood. Enrich the blood with
Hood’s Sarsaparilla and be strong and vig-
Orous.
‘“Mamma,’’ said a certain little man,
‘‘when you go to town, buy me a whistle ;
and let it be a religious whistle, so that I
can play with it on Sunday !”’

The Universal Language.
The American Swear Word Said to Be the True Vocal
Talisman—All Understand It.
They say that music is the universal
language. That is an error. The real
speech on which all peoples meet with
equality, whether in Boston or Bagdad,
Pittsburg or Pekin, is the American swear
word. A man who had been abroad told
me that one time when his boat was trying
to make the dock at some Black sea port
the rope was fouled and the sailors were
plunged into trouble It was a Russian
boat; the captain was a Russian and so were
the under officers and all the men who were
connected with the vessel. The passengers
were Russian, too, and it just happened
that nobody aboard spoke English, and as
English was all the language owned by this
traveler, he had had a most dismal and
Volapukian time of it. For three weeks,
as he said, he had been growing sluggish
and blue and disheartened under a constant
stream of ‘‘ovitches’’ and ‘‘offs,”” without
a chance to brighten up with a single Saxon
word. He had begun to yearn for home
and to grow sick of his_trip. All the sap
had been drawn from him. He was lifeless
and inert. But when that rope fouled
there came a change. Before this the mate
had not been able to say as much as ‘‘good-
morning,” but when the line got into
trouble he dropped his Russian mother
tongue and lit into that gang of bearded
and hairy sailors with a round of American
profanity that was fairly sizzling. That
being fired off, he loaded the magazine
again and discharged another volley. Then
he repeated the dose, and when the rope
snapped back, owing to the clumsiness of
one of the men, and struck the mate about
the legs and knocked him over, he grew
eloquent in his mention of forbidden sub-
jects—always in English.
My friend said it did his heart good to
hear that man at his devotions. It was
like a visit from one who had heen home
and found everything all right and had
come back to say so. It was soothing,
tranquilizing, benignant. It made him a
new man.
For myself, I knew of a case of a young
Javanese who came to Chicago shortly after
the fair and who was stranded there. He
could not get any kind of an understanding
of the language. The Javanese colony
being limited to one person, and that per-
son himself, he naturally got homesick and
pined. They took him to a hospital and
he grew worse. Nothing in particular the
matter with him—just lonesomeness. He
would look up with wide, searching eyes
at all who came to call in his ward, and he
listened apparently for some familiar word,
but nobody could talk Javanese, so he had
no means of communication with the world.
Perhaps you cannot appreciate this poor
fellow’s position. Just imagine yourself
in Fez or Madagascar. homesick and dying
for the sound of one English word, and
never hearing anything but a subdued jab-
ber in an utterly unknown tongue. It
would bear you down, wouldn’t it? That
was the way with this Javanese.
One day a man who had driven a canal-
boat in the East and after that had piloted
a delivery team in Chicago. and in some
other and tributary ways had laid tbe
foundation for a thorough grasp upon the
language of violence, was brought into the
hospital suffering from a broken leg. The
injured leg was getting along first-rate
until one of the internes in passing the cot
in some unaccountable way slipped, and,
to catch his footing, reached toward the
man’s foot, which was trussed toward the
ceiling with ropes. The contact and the
wrench must have hurt the patient. Any-
way, he said so. He said so with great
force and volume. He painted that hospital
purple, green, yellow and vermillion. His
remarks were copious and florid. And
through all that Vesuvian eruption that
young Javanese listened with the light of
a great joy in his face. His weary eyes
flashed with pleasure and his cheeks took
on a temporary color. He followed every
evolution of the ex-canal-hoatman’s speech.
And when the injured person had quite
finished the youth dropped back upon his
pillows and closed his eyes. They came to
give him his medicine afterward and found
that he had died. Peacefully, evidently,
and with a joyous spirit. He had gone out
with the closing remark of that man who
spoke at last in a language which the poor
exile understood.—Chicago Record.
The Farmer Boy.
If you have ever been a boy on a farm
you will remember what husking the down
row means. The down row is the one that
the wagon straddles and breaks down flat,
and it is always the one the boy has to
husk. It is always the most prolific row
in the field and every stalk has from two
to three ears on it, and each ear grows as
near the bottom of the stalk as it can pos-
sibly get in order that the wheels of the
wagon may drive them into the soil, so
that the boy will have to dig after them
like a ground squirrel. But a boy never
grows tired. That is the only redeeming
quality about a boy. His back bends like
a jack-knife and it breaks in two a dozen
of times, but he doesn’t mind a trifle like
that, because he is built that way. If his
back was made of India rubber and he had
as many legs as a centipede it would break
like glass, but heing a boy, hedoesn’t mind
it. A wooden man could not stand half
the wear and tear that a boy on a farm can.
In our boyhood days a boy was considered
a hindrance and a cambrance on the earth.
His hands looked as though they needed
sandpaper and varnishing. But he didn’t
care so long as he had to husk the down
row and do all the chores around the place.
He came in from the fields with his hands
looking like a map of the Klondike, with
all its glens, 1ts bogs and its passes. His
feet felt as though they were worn off just
below the knee and his back as if broken
in 19 places, and he was always hungry
enough to eat a piece of statuary; but he
never got tired, for there were the cows to
bring in and milk, the wood to get in, car-
ry water for next day’s washing, old rails
to be split for oven wood, the pigs to slop,
the stock to feed, and to run a mile down
to ¢‘Bill”’ Jones’s and ask him to come and
help butcher next Friday, and a thousand
other things to do hefore bedtime. What
time had a boy to get tired? These
thoughts were brought to our mind by
hearing an old chap remark that there was
no such pleasure in the world as a boy’s
life on a farm.— Irwin Standard.
Pa Subsided.—The Son—Pa, how
do they catch fools ?

better half)—With bows and ribbons and

SENATOR PROCTOR’S STORY OF
CUBAN WOES.
The Vermont Senator Talks of His Observatious in
Cuba. The Reports not Exaggerated. Sto-
ries of Starvation and Distress Con-
firmed by the Impartial Inves-
tigation of a Statesman
Who Sought the In-
formation For His
Own Guidance.
Washington, March 18.—Senator Red-
field Proctor, of Vermont, who returned
Sunday from an extended trip to and
through the Island of Cuba, yesterday
afternoon made a statement to the
senate of his observations on the isl-
and. From many view points the
statement was remarkable. Every
element of sensationalism had been
studiously eliminated from it, and,
except so far as the facts recited were
sensational, it bore not the slightest
evidence of an effort to arouse the
public mind.
Every statement made by Senator
Proctor was with that clearness and
precision which characterize the accu-
rate demonstration of a problem in
mathematics. Calm and dispassionate
to a notable degree, the utterances of
the senator aroused a breathless in-
terest. Every person within the sound
of his voice was convinced that he was
putting his observations into careful
terms, lest he might subject himself
to the criticism of being emotional.
One of the best characterizations of the
statement was made by Senator Frye,
of Maine, a few minutes after its de-
livery. “It is,” said he, ‘just as if
Proctor had held up his right hand and
sworn to it.”
The statement dealt with every phase
of life in Cuba, and was listened to
with breathless interest. The senator
stated that he went to Cuba entirely

on his own responsibility, and to see
for himself. He denied that he had
expressed the opinion that the Maine
was blown up from the outside, saying
he had carefully avoided forming an
opinion, and urged patient waiting for
the report of the court of inquiry. He
spoke of Havana as he had seen the
city on a former visit, and of the
changes war has made. After a de-
scription of the trocha he spoke of
Weyler’'s order compelling the recon-
centrados ®* to gather in the fortified
towns, and proceeded:
“Many doubtless did not learn of
this order. Others failed to grasp its
terrible meaning. Its execution was
left largely to the guerillas to drive in
all that had not obeyed, and I was sat-
isfied that in many cases a torch was
applied to their homes with no notice,
and the inmates fled with such cloth-
ing as they might have on, their stock
and other belongings being appropri-
ated by the guerillas. When they
reached the town they were allowed to
build Huts of palm leaves in the sub-
urbs and vacant places within the
trochas, and left to live if they could.
Their huts are about 10 by 15 feet in
size, and for want of space are usually
crowed together very closely. They
have no floor but the ground and no
furniture, and, after a year’s wear, but
little clothing ‘except such stray sub-
stitutes as they can extemporize.
“With large families, or with more
than one in this little space, the com-
monest sanitary provisions are impos-
sible. Conditions are unmentionable in
this respect. Torn from their homes,
with foul earth, foul air, foul water
and foul food or none, what wonder
that one-half have died and that one-
quarter of the living are so diseased
that they cannot be saved. Little chil-
dren are still waiking about with arms
and chest terribly emaciated,eyes swol-
len and abdomen bloated to three times
the natural size. The physicians say
these cases are hopeless.
“Deaths in the street have not been
uncommon. I was told by one of our
consuls that they have been found
dead about the markets in the morn-
ing, where they had crawled hoping
to get some stray bits of food from the
early hucksters, and that there had
been cases where they had dropped
dead inside the market surrounded by
food. These people were independent
and self supporting before Weyler's
order.. They are not beggars even now.
There are plenty of professional beg-
gars in every town among the regular
residents, but these country people,
the reconcentrados, have not learned
the art. Rarely is a hand held out to
you for alms when going among their
huts, but the sight of them makes an
appeal stronger than words.”
Speaking of the hospitals he said:
“I went to Cuba with a strong con-
viction that the picture had been over-
drawn, that a few cases of starvation
and suffering had inspired and stimu-
lated the press correspondents and
they had given free play to a strong,
natural and highly cultivated imagina-
tion. Before starting I received through
the mail a leaflet published by The
Christain Herald, with cuts of some of
the sick and starving reconcentrados,
and took it with me, thinking these
were rare specimens got up to make
the worst possible showing. I saw
plenty as bad and worse, many that
should not be photographed and
shown. I could not believe that out of
a population of 1,600,000 200,000 had died
within these Spanish forts, practically
prison walls, within a few months past
from actual starvation and diseases
caused by insufficient and improper
food. My inquiries were entirely out-
side of sensational sources, and. every
time the answer was that the case haa
not been overstated.
“What I saw I cannot tell so that
others can see it. It must be seen
with one’s own eves to be realized.
The Los Pasos hospital in Havana has
been recently described by one of my
colleagues, Senator Gallinger, and I
cannot say that his picture was over-
drawn, for even his fertile pen could
not do that. He visited it after Dr.
Lesser, one of Miss Barton’s very able
and efficient associates, had renovated
it and put in cots. I saw it when 400
women and children were lying on the
stone floors in an indescribable state
of emaciation and disease, many with
the scantiest ‘covering of rags, and
such rags, and sick children naked as
they came into the world. And the
conditions in the other cities are even
worse.”
Senator Proctor gave a description of
Miss Clara Barton’s work, paying a
glowing tribute to that lady. As to the
need for aid he said:
“The American people may be as-
sured that their bounty will reach the
sufferers with the least possible cost
and in the best manner in every re-
spect. And if our people could see a
small fraction of the need they would
pour more freely from their liberal
store than ever before for any cause.
‘When will the need for this help end?
Not until peace comes and the recon-
centrados can go back to their coun-
try, rebuild their homes, reclaim their
tillage plots, which quickly run up
to brush in that wonderful soil and
clime, and until they can be free from
danger of molestation in so doing. Un-
til then the American people must in
the main care for them.”
Senator Proctor said he saw no
beneficial results from General Blanco’s
modification of Weyler’s order, which
permits habitation of farms, “properly
defended.” He declared that he has
never seen a country to compare with
Cuba in its ‘“‘surpassing richness,” and
had this to say of the popuation:
“It is said that there are nearly 200,-
000 Spaniards ir Cuba out of a total
population of 1,600,000. They live prin-
cipally in the towns and cities. The
small shopkeepers in the towns and
their clerks are mostly Spaniards.
Much of the larger business, too, and
of the property in the cities and in a
less degree in the country is in their
hands. As everything possible in the
way of trade and legalized monopolies
in which the country abounds is given
to them by the government, many of
them acquire property. I did not learn
that the Spanish residents of the isl-
and had contributed largely in blood
or treasure to suppress the insurrec-
tion.
“There are, or were before the war,
about 1,000,000 Cubans on the island,
200,000 Spaniards (which means those
born in Spain) and less than 500,000 of
negroes and mixed blood. The per-
centage of colored to white has been
steadily diminishing for more than
50 years, and is not now over 25 per
cent. of the total. In fact, the num-
ber of colored people has been actually
diminishing for nearly that time. The
Cuban farmer and laborer is by nature
peaceable, kindly, gay, hospitable, light
hearted and improvident, and opposed
to bull fighting as inhumane.
“One thing that was new to me was
to learn the superiority of the well to
do Cuban over the Spaniard in the
matter of education. Among those in
good circumstances there can be no
doubt that the Cuban is far superior
in this respect. And the reason of it
is easily to see. They have been edu-
cated in England, France or this coun-
try, while the Spaniard has such educa-
tion as his own country furnished.
“It is said that there are about 60,000
Spanish soldiers now in Cuba fit for
duty out of over 200,000 that have been
sent there. The rest have died, been
sent home sick and in the pospitals,
and some have been killed, notwith-
standing the official reports. They are
conscripts, many of them very young,
and generally small men. They are
quiet and obedient, and if well drilled
and led I believe would fight fairly
well, but not at all equal to our men.
“The dividing lines between parties
are the most straight and clear cut that
have ever come to my knowledge. The
division in our war was by no means
so clearly defined. It is Cuban against
Spaniard. It is practically the entire
Cuban population on one side and the
Spanish army and the Spanish citizens
on the other. I do not count the Au-
tonomists in this division, as they are
so far too inconsiderable in numbers
to be worth counting. The army and
Spanish citizens do not want genuine
autonomy, for that means government
by the Cuban people. And it is not
strange that the Cubans say it comes
too late.
“To me the strongest appeal is not
the barbarity practiced by Weyler, nor
the loss of the Maine, if our worst fears
should prove true, terrible as are both
of these incidents, but the spectacle of
a million and a half of people, the en-
tire native population of Cuba, strug-
gling for freedom and deliverence from
the worst misgovernment of which I
ever had knowledge. But whether our
action ought not to be influenced. by
any one of these things, and if so, how
far, is another question. I am not in
favor of annexation, because it is not
wise policy to take in any people of
foreign tongue and training, and with-
out any strong guiding American ele-
ment.”
Death of Register Bruce.
‘Washington, March18.—Hon. Blanche
K. Bruce, register of the treasury, died
yesterday, aged 57. Mr. Bruce's death
had been expected for several days.
He suffered from a complication of
stomach troubles, which at first ap-
peared not serious, but last week he
lost strength steadily and toward the
close of the week it became apparent
that his vitality was ebbing rapidly.
Mr. Bruce was born a slave in Vir-
ginia, and received the rudiments of
his education from the tutor of his
master’s son. After the war he at-
tended Oberlin college, and in 1869 be-
came a Mississippi planter. He was
elected sheriff, superintendent of edu-
cation, and in 1875 United States sena-
tor. He was register under Garfield,
and was again appointed by McKinley.
His Own Executioner.
Grenada, Miss., March 18.—Alexander
Anderson, a young negro, attempted
to criminally assault a schoolgirl on
Wednesday night. Three hours later
he was captured by a mob, confessed
and was hanged. Anderson was made
to climb a cottonwood tree with a rope
about his neck. He was then pushed
off a limb and strangled to death.
The story may be old, but its points
are fresh. A preacher had been brought
from a distant town to enthuse a meeting
and raise $600 to pay off a church debt.
When he had exhausted his powers and
stalled at $500, a highly respected under-
taker, who had made a liberal subscription
already, rose and said : ‘Brethren, this
thing shan’t fall through after it has got as
far along as $500. I believe in a man
giving as the Lord has prospered him, and
although I have given a pretty good sized
donation I am ready to do more. I’ll
pay that last hundred dollars myself.
Here’s my check for that amount.” I
don’t know your name brother,’’ shouted
the visiting preacher, jumping to his feet
with enthusiasm, ‘‘but I hope your busi-
ness will double during the coming year,
and I believe it will.”

It is difficult for the system to adjust itself to

wonderful to see what this great medicine can ac-

general when warm weather comes. It creates
an appetite, tones and strengthens the stomach
and digestive organs and prevents fevers and
other serious diseases to which a weak and debili-
tated system is so liable in spring. Its great cures
of all blood diseases, scrofula, salt rheum, boils,
sores and humors prove it to be the best blood pu-

She had taken it only a short time when she was
well and strong. Every one who sees her is sur-
