SPAIN IS VULNERABLE.
Where V e Could Strike Her Kllec
t ii it 1 1 v n Crme ol Wnr.
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

Canaries. If we retained them at tho end
of the war, we could find a purchaser
for them in England.
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?"

OLD ADDRESS. 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.
"She was overtaxed mentally and
physically.
Her nerves were at such a tension
that the least noise irritated her.

THE MARKETS.
Wnll Street ltovlow.
New Torlt, March 29. 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. They did not
rise much above the opening prices ex
cept In a few cases at any time during
the day and tho list at the close showed
net declines of between 1 and 2 points
in the large majority of Important
stocks.

months she lost twenty three pounds.
"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.
The pills are in universal demand and
sold by all druggists.
