Prom our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, May 6, 1898.
Mr. McKinley's fighting blood
has been aroused by the great vic
tory won by our Asiatic squadron
under Commodore Dewey. Il would
have been strange, indeed, if it had
not been, for nothing more daring
in the annals of naval warfare has
been recorded than Dewey's action
in taking his ships into an enemy's
harbor, supposed to be heavily
mined, for the purpose of attacking
a fleet nearly his equal in strength,
which was supported by heavy land
batteries, and succeeding in destroy
ing the Spanish fleet, silencing the
batteries and planting the American
flag 011 the Phillipine Islands. It
was an achievement worthy of the
American navy, and one that every
American commodore is anxious to
try to duplicate. They are appar
ently going to be given opportuni
ties, too. 111 fact, the orders have
been issued that will give the rest
of our navy an opportunity to share
in avenging the Maine by doing
some fighting. Parto Rico is to be
taken. Our soldiers also are to be
allowed to do some fighting. The
air of hesitation, which was so ag
gravating, has entirely disappeared,
and everything is now apparently
bent 011 fighting. Admiral Dewey's
official report has been received,'and
he can possibly be prouder of it than
is every American who reads it.
Millions of Americans yet unborn
will thrill with pride and patriotism
when they read of the victory won
by the daring and gallant Dewey,
who will be made an admiral and
who will receive a vote of thanks
from Congress.
Congress has authorized the en
listment of 10,000 yellow fever im
munes, in the south, for service in
Cuba, in addition to the 125,000
volunteers.
It is always more or less danger
ous to interrupt Representative
Champ Clark when he is making a
speech, but Representative Lacey,
of lowa, had to get squelched before
he would believe it. Mr. Clark
was making a vigorous talk against
the six democrats who voted for the
republican war revenue bill, which
authorizes an addition of $600,000-
000 to the country's interest bearing
debt, and incidentally against the
democratic party being held respon
sible for the acts of the Cleveland
administrations, which he declared
were democratic only in name, when
he said there were only two worse
names in history than that of Grover
Cleveland—the names of Judas Is
cariot and Benedict Arnold. Just
then he was interrupted by Mr.
Lacey, who asked if Judas Icariot
was not the original silver man.
Mr. Clark turned upon him and re
torted : "The first silver speech
ever made in the American Con
gress was by William B. Allison,
whom you all worship. Now, some
of tlip rest of you ask me questions."
The challenge was not taken up. 111
the same speech Mr. Clark ridiculed
the claim of some of the republicans
that they were responsible for the
war with Spain, and addressing the
republican side he said : "We took
you by the scruff of the neck and
dragged you into it. It's our war."
Mr. Clark closed with a glowing
and patriotic reference te the brilli
ant achievement of Commodore
Dewey in Manila harbor.
The administration is'not allow
ing the war to cause it to forget the
need the republicans have for help
in the Congressional campaign.
"Hie patronage of the Government
> inting Office is to be turned over
to the republican candidates for
Congress, by an order declaring
that establishment never to have
been legally under the civil service
rules. It will be remembered that
an opinion declaring that the plac
ing of the G. P. O. under civil ser
vice rules was illegal was prepared
by an official of the Department of
Justice last year, but was never
adopted by Attorney General Mc-
Keena as his own was never made
public. Attorney General Griggs,
doubtless under pressure from the
Republican Congressional Commit
tee, has agreed to the promulgation
of that opinion as his own, and
democrats in the G. P. O. who are
wise are on the lookout for other
jobs.
Mr. McKinley deserves credit for
standing out against the enormous
pressure brought to bear upon him
by politicians of his party in favor
of incompetent applicants for gen
eral's commissions in the volunteer
army. He has sent the nomina
tions of eleven major generals and
twenty-five brigadier generals to
the Senate. Thirty-two of them
are officers in the regular army, and
the other four, ali major generals,
are ex-officers, equally divided be
tween the blue and the gray, Fitz
Dee and Joe Wheeler representing
the gray, and Senator Sewell, of
New Jersey, and General James
H. Wilson, of Delaware, represent
ing the blue.
Three Kon fall to a Terrible Death.
Falling Timbers Braak Their Platform and
They Drop 300 Feet.
The Halstead inine of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western com
pany at Duryea was the scene ot an
accident Thursday evening which cost
three men their lives. The names of
the victims are : John Monohan,
Stephen Jenkins, John Titus.
The three men were engaged in re
pairing the lin-'ng of the shaft which
had been damaged by the cave-in last
week. About 5:30 some heavy tim
bers were being lowered into the shaft
when the rope attached to them slipp
ed off and the timbers struck the plat
form upon which the three workmen
were standing with great force, demol
ishing it and precipitating the men to
the bottom of the shaft, a distance of
300 feet. The bodies were horribly
mangled.

As to Blockading-
The blockade of Cuba will recall
the blockade ot the Southern ports !
during the Civil war. There will be !
several essential differences, however, 1
in the two blockades. The Federal
fleets had a much larger extent of
coast line to guard than thev will in
the present instance. The Confeder
ates at the beginning of the war con
trolled the coast from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande, and there were many
important ports thereon which requir
ed particular attention at the hands of
the blockading forces. The Cuban
coast line is much less in extent, and
there are but few important ports
along it. The Confederates had a
convenient base of operations tor the
blockade runners at the Bahama is
lands, belonging to the British, the
authorities of which were very lax in
enforcing the neutrality laws. The
Confederates, nowever, for a consider
able time, had no navy to assist in
breaking the blockade, in which case
the Spaniards have the advantage. It
is doubtful, however, whether any con
siderable force of Spanish ships will
be able to reach Cuba in time to be
of service. If a powerful Spanish
fleet does come over, of which many
profess grave doubts, and a naval en
gagement should result unfavorably to
it, the blockade would soon become
very effective, and must inevitably re
sult in the surrender of the Spanish
land forces. It is true that Porto
Rico might serve as a basis for block
ade rnnners, but it will probably not
be very long ' before the ports in that
island will also be blockaded.
The chief ports of the Confederates
weie Charleston, S. C., New Orleans,
La., Mobile, Ala., Pensacola, Fla.,
Galveston, Tex., Savannah, Ga., and
Wilmington, N. C. These places
were successively taken one after
another after longer or shorter periods
of blockading. The blockade of
Charleston was the most difficult, be
cause of the importance of the city to
the Southern cause, and its propin
quity to the Bahamas, strenuous
efforts were therefore made to capture
it, all of which failed until Sherman's
army flanked the Confederates out of
it. For more than three years, des
pite every attempt to prevent them,
blockade runners were able to steal
past the strong Federal fleet and carry
to the much needed
munitions of war. To supplement
the efforts of the blockading squad
ron what was known as the "Stone
Fleet" was sunk at the entrance of
the harbor. This fleet consisted of a
laige number of old merchant vessels
loaded with stone and scuttled at the
entrance to the harbor. The effect
of this was, however, not what was
anticipated, and blockade runners
continued until the fall of the city.
On one occasion the Confederates
sent out some war vessels they had
fitted up in the harbor, and made an
attack upon the blockading squadron
which had been temporarily weaken
ed. They came out early one morn
ing in a thick haze and succeeded in
making one of the Federal vessels
surrender by reason of a shot having
passed through her condenser and
steam drum, thus rendering her help
less. The sun coming out, however,
jthe other Federal vessels quickly took
a hand and drove the Confederate
J squadron back into the harbor so
THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG. PA.
rapidly that they tailed to take posses
sion ot the captured Federal ship.
The claim was made that the b'ock
ade had been raised, but this was
soon proved to be baseless.
The last Confederate port of impor
tance to be captured was Wilmington,
N. C., which was defended by Fort
Fisher, at the mouth of Cape Fear
River, and which was taken January
15th, 1865. The men on a blockad
ing fleet have no easy time of it, as
they are compelled to be continually
on the alert to resent attacks by the
enemy's war vessels, and to detect
attempts by their merchant ones to
run the blockade. The blockading
fleet is necessarily some distance out
in the ocean, and is liable to be driven
oft" its station by storms. When this
occurs there is a great opportunity for
the enemy's vessels in port to escape,
and for such as may be able to make
the port from the outside to get in.
When a blockade is declared, it must
be with a sufficient force, otherwise
neutral vessels are at liberty to pass
in and out of the blockaded port.
After the blockade is established it
must also be well maintained, and
this it is often difficult to accomplish
by reason of storms and the attacks
of the enemy's fleet.
Tlrj Justification tor war.
No one who knows the history of
the Cuban question will doubt for a
moment the adequacy of the justifi
cation for the hostilities now initiat
ed by the United States. The mis-,
government of the Spaniards, the
barbarities of the unceasing civil
wars, the hopelessness of any per
manent pacification in an island at
the very threshold of the liberty
loving New World, constitutes an
intolerable nuisance. Sooner or
later intervention was inevitable,
for no practical repentance could be
looked in a people which had sacri
ficed one of the greatest colonial
empires known to history in its in
grained inability to abandon medi
aeval methods of government and
diplomacy. Hence the preservation
of the peace has depended only on
the chance of Spain acquiescing in
the American ultimatum, and that
all along has been known to be im
possible. Spain has lost much, but
her armor proper is still on the scale
of her quondam empire, and no one
ever imagined that she would yield
an inch of what remains without a
struggle. That she will fight now
bravely and tenaciously, no one
questions. His gallantry will excite
a further need of sympathy which
her patriotism and dignity in mis
fortune have already widely engen
dered. This sympathy, however,
is not incompatible with the convic
tion that her ultimate failure will be
a gain for humanity and progress.
In this country every voice is raised
to wish the United States success.
We heartily join our own, but not
on account of any sense of kinship,
which really need not be invoked,
but for the practical end in view—
the liberation of the sorely tried
Cubans and the establishment of
peace in a corner of God's earth,
which hitherto has known only
misgovernment and bloodshed.—

MRS. LUCY GOODWIN
Suffered four years with female trou
bles. She now writes to Mrs. Pinkham
of her complete recovery. Read her
letter:

OHILKOOT PASS HORP.OKS
i Poor Creatures V/ho Have Given Up Hope,
Lying Upon the Dissolving Snow.
Horace Mangold, leader of a band
ot Englishman who a few weeks ago
passed through Ottawa on their way
to the Klondike, is back again. YViien
he reached Vancouver he heard sinis
ter rumors as to the state of Cliilkoot
pass, and, not willing that his men
with their supplies should be met with
serious obstacles, he proceeded in ad
vance (accompanied by two Indians
as porters) to test the actual condi
tions. He found the pass so bad that
he is returning to England with the
intention of coming back to proceed
when the Stikine is open.
"The horrors of the trail will never
be adequately portrayed," was Mr.
Mangold's comment. "There is in
reality no trail. It is a tearful wind
ing in and out, and covered with the
remains of thousands of horses, the
debris of outfits and camps into which
you sink up to the waist. I saw poor
wretches thrust aside by the score by
the desperate procession which, what
ever happens, will never stop. And
those who actually pass the summit,
what horrors await them on the other
side !
"As I made my way along I saw
strong men crying like children.
They had lost their horses ; ihey had
started out with insufficient food ;
they were in hunger and wretched
ness ; they had been thrust aside by
the desperate creatures behind, who
showed no mercy, but were bound to
push on regardless of the sufferings
they inflicted upon those who were
too weak to keep up. That was the
callousness of it—that those who from
fatigue, from hunger, from utter ex
haustion through carrying their own
packs, stumbled, were pushed or kick
ed out of the way, and you passed on,
brushing by poor creatures who had
given up all hope and who were lying
out upon the dissolving snow, utterly
indifferent to their fate.
Two things have contributed to the
misery which I saw. First, the
weather, which was so mild as to
make the pass simply a deep creek
filled with snow broth, and second,
the imperfect outfits of hundreds of
men, who, after they reached Vancou
ver had no more notion of where they
were going or how they were to go
than they had of flying."
Mr. Mangold says that he found
among the Canadians an objection to
the introduction of the English.
"This was unaccountable to me,
but there is no doubt that it exists.
Those who have influence should im
press upon the government not to
allow liquor in the Yukon district. I
speak from experience. I have been
in the arctic regions and I know that
the talk of the need of liquor is all
tommyrot. Liquor in a mining camp
is simply a crime. A poor man who
has never handled any money worth
talking about makes a 'strike.' He at
once treats the whole camp. Then
you have, when these men are drunk,
all the elements of an inferno."
It Will Surprise You.

No wonder skeptics and agnostics
disbelieve in the power of prayer.
Queer kind of a pandemonium this
earth would be if people always got
what they prayed far. For instance, if
there ever was a nation wicked and
cruel beyond belief that nation is
Spain. She brought murder and
slavery into the western hemisphere
when she first set foot upon it; she
will go out of it leaving starvation,
treachery under and rapint behind
her as the last traces of het power
here. Yet the bishop of Macvid has
the brazenness to instruct Al the
priests within his diocese to pAy for
the success of the armies of Spaft>. It
would be a strange sort of deityfwho
would answer a prayer like tha or
any other prayer prompted by ava-ice,
selfishness or revenge.
