EVIDENTLY WAITING 'FOR AN OPEN
ING TO CUBA.
Til® Spanish Bqua<lron linn I.onz Eluded
Oar WarHlilpn, bat It Is Gonpruliy Cuiu
ceded the Time of Hatt'e is Rapidly
Approaching.
Washington, May 18.—So far as open
speech Is an Indication the war admin
istration believes the enemy Is about to
cross the Caribbean sea to some Cuban
port, presumably a southern port, Cien
fuegos or Santiago, and they declare
that Admiral Sampson, passing south
by the windward passage, between Cu
ba and Hayti, will head off the Spanish
tieet and give them battle before they
can reach port. But it Is a matter of
common knowledge that if Admiral
Sampson should intercept the Spanish
cruisers off Santiago, they could turn
tail and in a chase to Clenfuegos beat
Sampson's slower vessels easily.
For that matter, having located the
American pursuers and got them in the
rear, Admiral Cervera might make a
dash, for one of the Gulf cities, and by
reason of the superior fleetness of his
cruisers reach that city and do incalcu
lable damage before his pursuers could
catch up.
This is the situation which is puzzling
the naval strategists at Washington to
day.
Commodore Schley is within easy ac
cess of Havana or the Yucatan channel
between Florida and Cuba, while Samp
son guards the approach from the east,
leaving Commodore Watson and his
fleet of gunboats, monitors, torpedo
boats and lesser cruisers to maintain
the blockade of Havana, iUatanzas and
other North Cuban towns, and if the
enemy starts to walk into the net
spread by Washington there will be a
fight with little doubt us to the result.
But the possibility of catching the Cape
Verde fleet is not considered very prom
ising by experienced naval strategists.
Spain's fleet can sail one-third faster
than ours so once give it a start we
can never catch It.
Tne Second Fleet n Mytla. '
After a deal of hard hustling in
whan cable despatches were exchanged
between the war administration at
Washington and its agents in a score
of remote places all over tne world it
has been found that the stories about
the appearance of Admiral Villamil oft
Martinique with a fleeet comprising the
Spanish cruicers Ciuneros Cataluna,
Princessa de Asturlas and several
smaller boats, were false.
The three fighting ships named are
all at Cadiz, and each is receiving
some needed repairs. Admiral v illamil
is subordinate to Admiral Cervera of
the Cape Verd fleet. He is in charge
~jf work similar to that of Commodore
Howell's mosquito fleet and when the
fleet left Spain was in command of that
|.'ir:i-ii of it comprising the destroyers.
Auxiliaries, scouts and the like. AJI of
I s command except the three destroy
ers, returned to the Canaries the day
t..e lighting ships sailed for America.
Anxious for a Meeting.
_ The ships of the American blockading
iett are keeping a vigilant watch for
i.'.r : pcarance of the Spanish fleet and
will i .t bo taken by surprise should the
tpanish men-of-war round Cape San
Antonio, the western point of Cuba! and
twocp down upon Havana. Ail our
I.lips have been warned by Commodore
'. arson of the possibility of such a
move, and sailors are kept constantly
iu the tops, where they can sweep the
I orison for thirty miles, looking out for
i.'ie first sign of a hostile ship.
All the naval officers on the blockade
■ cation are anxious for a meeting with
liie Spaniards, and when informed that
the latest reports placed them qff the
least of Venezuela they jubilantly de
lared that the enemy would be
lemmed in between the Windward is-
Itrtds and the Yucatan channel, to be
destroyed. The only fear expressed
xas for the safety of our shipsj
irting Clenfuegos. It Is not dli'ibted,
however, that precautions havtM been

WAP, TAILB TO OAU3E THE EXPECT
ED PANIC.
Iron and Steel Steady With Much Higher
Prices Recorded For Wheai.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review
of tiade says :
Hostilities have lasted long enough
to kill many predictions, if but few
Americans. The European notion
that the United States would begin
by having a bad half hour, the
rists' notion that "everybody knows a
great panic must follow the outbreak
of war," the commercial buyers'notion
that everybody would be ready to sell
everything cheap if w?r came, the
notion that it would pay to hoard
money until the emergency had pass
ed, have all been made laughable al
ready.
The only panic was when money
lenders were wondering what deadly
impossibilities the unknown might
have in store for them. The only
hindrance of industry has been due to
waiting of buyers who looked for
lower prices.
Nothing disheartening can be seen
in the industrial situation except the
closing of some cotton mills owing to
over production, and the fall of print
cloths to 1 87 cents.
The general expectabon of expand
ing demand holds prices steady for all
finished products of iron and steel,
and with considerable sales of Besse
mer pig it is ten cents higher at Pitts
burg, with other quotations there and
at Chicago and Philadelphia practi
cally unchanged. Government orders
are heavy, and yet cover but little of
the consumption, though they go far
to cause the over-crowding of ship
yards and plate mills, but higher
prices for wheat have brought enor
mous demand for agricultural imple
ments, and also for locomotives and
cars, while very many buildings in
western towns and orders for many
railroad and other bridges, for canal
improvements ai Chicago, and for
25,000 tons steel rails at the east, '
make up a heavy volume.
Failures for the week have been
246 in the United States against 264 !
last year, and twenty-four in Canada !
against thirty-one last year.

Dog Hunting Outot Season.
Tnere is considerable doubt as to
the law regarding the chasing of rab
bits out of season by dogs. It is the
practice of many owners of rabbit
hounds to allow them to run at large
the year round and to chase rabbits at
will, thereby, no doubt, causing the
death of many young rabbits, which
are caught and eaten by the dogs.
There is no law preventing their run
ning at large, but their owners are
responsible for them, and if a rabbit
hound, or any other dog, is caught
killing rabbits his owner is amenable
to the law just the same as though he
himself shot the rabbit out of season.
The same interpretation of the law
applies to bird dogs. The only remedy
is to watch the dogs and when you
catch one killing a rabbit, soak bis
owner to the full extent of the law.
The "crack" regiment of the New
York State National Guards, is, or
was, the Seventh, of New York City.
Their armory cost a million dollars ;
their uniforms are of beautiful soft
gray cloth with black trimmings, they
are the very pink of aristocracy, repre
sentatives of the old Knickerbocker
families who have been wealthy for
250 years, boys whose great great
grand fathers great uncles made for
tunes buying skunk skins from the
Indians. They are the pets of the
ladies, and when a President is inau
gurated it is worth a trip of 500 miles
to see them march down Penn
sylvania avenue. In their ranks are
men of great talent, and poets of no
mean ability.
When the call for volunteers to
fight for Cuba came the Seventh Regi
ment to a man voted to—stay at
home. However, they will be at the
next inauguration in new uniforms
and will march beautifully and at the
ball in the evening the officers will
waltz just too s.veet for anything.
Pennsylvania has not a regiment that
can make as tine an appearance as
the Seventh, but they are all in line
to fight for the flag.
THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA.
WASHINGTON.
Prom our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, May rg. IS9S.
When it comes to fighting we can
whip the Spaniards just as last as we
can get at tliein, hut when there is a
chance for trickery Spain can give this
government seven points in a game of
ten and win out every time. This
was proven again by the wi'.d goose
chase upon which Admiral Sampson
and the strongest vessels of his fleet
have been for more than a week—
hunting for the Cape Verde Spanish
fleet, which instead of being headed
for Porto Rico has turned up on the
coast of Spain, 3000 miles away.
Now, when everybody is disgusted
and disappointed, some officials have
the nerve to say that they never be
lieved the Spanish fleet was coming
this way at all.
This Spanish fleet has been the
bugaboo given by the administration I
as an excuse for tiie delay in invading
Cuba. As soon as it was known that
it was on the other side of the Atlantic
it was announced that the invasion
was to begin at once, Gen. Miles, who
was to command, engaged a Pullman
berth 011 a train for Florida and hotel
quarters for himself at Tampa. Then,
presto change ! the engaged Pullman
berth was not used, and Gen. Miles
postponed his trip from Washington.
Still the public is assured that there
has been no doubt or hesitation on
the part of the administration ; that
Mr. McKinley is not waiting to give
Spain a chance to sue for peace, and
that the invasion of Cuba will be an
accomplished fact in the next few
days. The men will be in Florida
ready to do the invading, as they are
being rushed there as fast as steam
can carry them, and there will certain
ly be no good reason for further post
ponement. It is the opinion of such
men as Fitz Lee, who know what
they are talking about, that the cam
paign in Cuba need not last longer
Lian thirty days, if as many as 50,000
men are sent over.
There has been no room to find any
fault with the promptness of the ad
ministration in sending Admiral Dewey
-the rank ot Rear Admiral was form
ally conferred upon him by the Presi
dent and Senate this week—rein
forcements to aid him in holding and
governing the Philippine Islands.
The Cruiser Charleston has already
started for Manila from San Fran
cisco, and other ships are being pre
pared to start. It will take the Charles
ton about three weeks to make the
trip.
1 here is no truth in the charges so
persistently being made in lepublican
papers that democratic Senators are
responsible for the delay on the war
revenue bill passed by the House.
The fact is the bill as passed by the
House was a very crude and imper
fect measure, and the Senate com
mittee on Finance has been trying to
whip it into a more satisfactory shape
by amending it. More amendments
have so faj been offered by republican
Senators than by democrats. The
democrats are too anxious to see this
war tought to a speedy and successful
close to refuse to do their part towards
furnishing the government all the
money it needs, but there is money
enough on hand for all present needs
and they do not intend being stamped
ed into supporting obnoxious methods
of raising money just because the bill
is labeled '-war measure."
Major General Joseph Wheeler
("Fighting Joe Wheeler") was the
first one of the new major generals to

JENXIR E. GREEX, Denmark, lowa,
writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
" I had been sick at my monthly
periods for seven years, and tried
almost everything I ever heard of, but
without any benefit. Was troubled
with backache, headache, pains in the
shoulders and dizziness. Through my
mother I was Induced to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
it has done me so much good. lam
now sound and well."
Mrs. HARRV lIARDV, Riverside, lowa,
writes to Mrs. Pinkham the story of
her struggle with serious ovarian trou
ble, and the benefit she received from
the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound. This is her letter:
" llow thankful I am that I took
your medicine. I was troubled for
two years with inflammation of the
womb and ovaries, womb was also very
low. I was in constant misery. I had
heart trouble, was short of breath and
could not walk fivo blocks to save my
life. Suffered very much with my
back, had headache all the time, was
nervous, menstruntions were irregular
and painful, had a bad discharge and
was troubled with bloating. I was a
perfect wreck. Had doctored and
taken local treatments, but still was no
better. I was advised by one of my
neighbors to write to you. I have now
finished the second bottle of Mrs. Pink

better in every way. lam able to do

Mat y lawyers contend that the ac
ceptance of a commission by any
Federal official vacates the other
place. There seems to be a doubt
about it. At the request of Senator
Sewell, who as major general has
been ordered to command the camp
ot instruction this week established on
the Virginia side of the Potomac,
several miles from Washington. At
torney General Griggs will give an
official opinion on the subject. Major
Generals Fitz Lee and James H. Wil

Chattanooga for active service.
The concurrent -esolution offered
by Representative liockery, of Mo.,
providing for a recess of Congress
from June 6, until July 19, which is
now in the hands of the Ways and
Means committee, was not the resuit
of a party conference, but merely Mr.
Dockery's idea of what would be the
proper thing to do. Czar Reed hopes
to have Congress adjourned before
the first named date. As a rule demo
crats think it would be unwise to ad
journ while the war is in progress.
While there is r.o disposition among
them to have Congress interfere with
the conduct of the war, they think
that Congress ought to have some say
about the terms of peace, and if it
isn't in session it cannot.
With only II negative votes the
House passed the bill providing for a
constitutional amendment for the elec
tion of Senators by the people.
What the Hoys Will Eat,
When Militiamen Become Real Solaiers
They Will Have the Army Rations.
The question of what they are going
to eat is disturbing the minds of the
militia. It is generally supposed that
the annual encampment is a week for
regular army life, and while this is
true of the drills, guard mount, police
duty, and many other features, it is
not altogether true of the daily bill of
fare, for this is augmented by many
delicacies which are purchased from
the private purses of the some-time
soldier.
The government ration is the allow
ance of one person for the day, and
consists of the meats, the bread, the
vegetable, the coffee and sugar, the
seasoning, and the soap and candle
components. When troops travel
otherwise than by marching, or when
for short periods they are separated
from cooking facilities and do not
carry cooked rations, soft or hard
bread, canned beef and canned baked
beans, together with coffee and sugar,
are issued, and after troops have sub
sisted upon this tor four consecutive
days they are allowed canned to
matoes at the rate of one pound per
man per day.
The kinds and quantities of articles
comprising the ration for troops where
cooking is practicable and the quanti
ties computed for o*ne ration are as
follows:
Fresh beef, 20 ounces, or an equal
quantity of fresh mutton, when the
cost does not exceed that of beef; or
pork, 12 ounces ; or bacon, 12 ounces;
or salt beef, 22 ounces; or, when meat
cannot be furnished, 14 ounces of
dried fish, or 18 ounces of fresh or
pickled fish.
Flour or soft Dread, 18 ounces, or
16 ounces of hard bread, or 20 ounces
of cornmeal. When troops are in the
field and it is necessary for them to
bake their own bread, 16-25 ounces
of baking powder will be issued.
Vegetable components, heans or
peas, 2, 2-5 ounces; or rice or hominy,
1, 3-5 ounces ; potatoes, 16 ounces,
or 12, 4-5 ounces of potatoes, and the
balance to be made up of 3, 1-5 ounces
of onions, making a total of 16 ounces.
This can be changed another way by
decreasing the allowance ot potatoes
to 11 1-5 ounces, supplementing it
with 4 4-5 ounces of canned tomatoes
or other fresh vegetables not canned,
when they can be obtained in the
vicinity of the camp or transported in
wholesome condition from a distance.
The trooper gets 1, 3-5 ounces ot
green coffee or 17-25 ounces of roast
ed coffee. If he is fond of tea he may
have 8-25 of an ounce instead. Sugar
is allotted at the rate of 2 3-25 ounces
per day, with 16-25 gills of molasses
or can syrup as an alternative. Sea
soning components consist of 8 2-5
gill of vinegar, 16-25 ounces of salt
and 1-25 ounce of black pepper.
Cleanliness and light are provided for
by 16-25 ounces ofsoapforthe former
and 6-25 ounces of candles for the
latter, when illuminating oil is not
furnished by the quartermaster.
