From tha New York Sun. in tile event of a war between Spain and tho United States, probably we should not confine ourselves to operation in Cuba. Thero aro other islands, or Insular groups in various ouartcrs of tho globe, and there aru points on the loerlan pen insula Itself, which would be assalliblo by a power possessing ttie command of the sea. For instunce, there Is the island of Porto Illco, which has an area of 3,520 square miles, or, In other words, Is about as largo as the slate of Connecticut. It has a population of r. early a million, three-fifths of whom aro white. It is ex tremely fertile; its exports tiro la value more than double those of Jamaica. Thb harbor ot San Juan Bautlsta Is ono of the best In tho W'usl Indies, has a compara tively unobstructed entrance, and along tho wharves, even at low water, a depth of ten to thirteen feet. It will be no new thing for Porto Rico to undego an at tack from an Engllsh-speuklng people. In 1595 tho capital was sacked by Drake, and later, by nnother English command er. In 1797, however, Abercromby had to retlr after a threo days' siege. There are now no fortifications at San Juan, or at nny other of the islund'c harbors, which could withstand modern battle ships, and an insurrection against Spain unquestionably would break out on iho appearanco of an American licet. Tho Canaries, which have been in the possession ot Spain since the fifteenth century, were probably the "Fortunaie Isles," of which the Greek geographers, as woll ns the Greek poets, spake. The seven principal Islands cover an area of 3,250 square tulles, and have about 300,000 Inhabitants, The soil upon their lower levels is lemurltnbly fertile, la some places, two crops of Indian corn and one of potatoes enn bo obtained from the fame piece of ground in a twelvemonth. A great deal of sugar was manufactured formerly, and, beforo the appearance of tho grape disease In 1S53, no fewer than 40,000 pipes of wine were exported, The Canaries have been coveted by all the maritime powers since the discovery of America and the Capo of Good Hope, and they would bo of particular value to Eng land, as constituting a convenient station on ono of the two routes to India, Santa Cruz, on tho Island of Tenerlffe, is the residence of tho governor general of tha group. It was formerly so well fortlrlcd that Nelson was repulsed when ho tried to tako It In 1797, It could not resist a modern battleship, howover, und we should find It easy to gain control of the BUREflG SIX INSERTIONS A WORD.

Still more grievous to Castlllan pride than tho loss of the Canaries would be that of the Balearic Isles, which have been associated with the Iberian penin sula sinco Carthaginian times. These Islands colectlvcly comprise about 2.0W square miles, and contain some 300,000 in habitants. Majorlca, which Js much tho largest and most fertile member of tho cluster, has an annual import trade of about $3,000,000, tho exportB amounting lo rather more. Minorca, tho second of tho croup In size, was occupied by tho Eng lish durlns; the greater part of the last century. To a maritime, power this Island Is of peculiar value, its chief harbor, Port Mahon, being one of the finest havens In the Mediterranean, It not the best of them all. The name Mahon, by the way, Is derived from that of Mago the Car thaginian. We may note. In passing, that General Weylfr Is a native of taoso hlands, tho Inhabitants of which in an cient times wero notorious for ferocity, and, In the middle ages, for piracy. The commercial importance of tho Phil ippine Islands Is too well known to r.eed moro than a cursory allusion. Tho squid ron of American easels which has bcei assembled at Hong Kong would encoun ter no difficulty in capturing tho capital city, Manila, with the fall of which Span ish rule in tho islands would end. Turning now to Spain Itself, wo find that such cities ns Barcelona and Cadiz would be exposed to bombardment; so would Valencia, though It stands Inland nbout three miles from its seaport, Lrrao. Helpless, also, as against our battleships would be Alice nte, Cartegcna, Coruna, Santander, and San Sebastian. In a word, to say nothing of outlying Insular posses sions, every one of which would fall Into our hands, the mainland of Spain would bo exceptionally vulnerable, the defence of Its scacoasts long having been neg lected. OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES. "Johnnie," said tho teacher to one ot tho Juvenile class, "in your composition on George Washington, you say he cut down a cherry tree with a saw. Don t you know he chopped it down with a hatchet?" "Yes'm," replied Johnnie, "but I couldn't spell hatchet." "Mamma, have I any children?" asked little 5-year-old Ella upon her return home from Sunday school. "Why no, of course not! What put that Idea into your head?" replied tlo surprised mother. "Because," answered tho little lady, "our lesson today was about people's children and their children's children." A clergyman was In his library one day preparing his Sabbath discourse. Ho paused frequently to review what ho had written and would often erase a word or sentence and substitute another, and his five-year-old son, who was watching hhn, askod: "Papa,, does God tell you what to preach?" Certainly, my son," was the reply. "Then why do you scratch It outr queried the little observer. Tommy, nged 4, had been taken with a slight attack of prevarication, and his father, wishing to Impress upon his In fantile mind the sin he had committed, related tho story of George Washington and tho cherry tree, concluding with the remark that little George was a good boy and he never told a He. Tommy sat In deep thought for a few moments, and then said, "Pay, pa, toodn't 'Ittol Georgo talk?" NOTICE.

V $ A School Girl's Nerves, This record is of especial value to parents. ICs a message from a loving mother dedicated to the mothers of grenving girls, A trUhftd narrative of the utmost interest and import. It h Important that the nerves at e care fully guarded. Mothcri who have your, daughters of school age should watch thci health more carefully than their studic The proper development of their boi U of first importance. After the confinement of the serx' room, plenty of out-door exercise shot!1, be taken. It is better that children ncv learn their a, b, c's, than that by over study they lose their health. All this is self-evident. Everyone at mits it everyone knows it, but everyone does not know how to build the health up when once broken down, even the best physicians failing at times. The following method of Mrs. Stephen Barnes, whose post office address is Bur ney, Ind., if rightly applied, may save your daughter. When her daughter Lucy was at that critical girlhood age of twelve years she grew weak and nervous. "Previously she had been a bright, healthy young girl," says Mrs. Barnes, She was diligent and progressive in her studies. "It became necessary, however, for her to leave school.

Wall street awoke this morning to a realization that It had been duped. Speculators consequently wore a somewhat rueful aspect In all but that select Inner circle which reaped the profits from tho well organized plan to precipitate a bear panic. It was very noticeable that those who were loudest yesterday In the proclamation of the settlement al leged to have been arrived at between the United States and Spain were no longer active bidders for stocks and securities, although they parted with large holdings at the high level yester day. The marli. t today was without material support and prices promptly dropped oft from about 1 per cent, to upwards of 2 per cent.

"We did everything possible tor her, and she had the best of medical treatment. "Several skilled physicians attended her, but no benefit was apparent. '' A family friend visiting us, told how her daughter had been similarly affected, but cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills foi Pale People. "She urged us to try the pills, and we finally consented. "We have always rejoiced that we did. The 'pills helped Lucy at once, and after taking eight boxes she was entirely cured. "She is now in perfect health, strong, weighs ten pounds more than ever before, and her cheeks are full of color. Two years of schooling were mirsed on account of ill health, but now she can gratify her ambition to study and bcom an educated woman." The reason that Dr.Williams'PJnkPilli for Pale People were helpful in the above case, is that they are composed of vegeta ble remedies which act directly on the impure blood, the foundation of disease. As the blood rushes through, all parts of the body, the conveyer of good or bad health, it is necessary that It should be pure, rich and red. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the blood by supplying its life giving elements which nourishes the various organs, stim ulating them to activity In the perform ance of their functions and thus drives disease from the system.
