SCHWE1EB, EO.TUfc A SID Horillr'l- be found and Lbreakiast Dewey again sailed in at 11 o'clock and in two hou United States every Spanish tLig on 11 war ships, and every Spanish flag All the past week the United States Covci iiiiient lias leen going on with its work of forwarding men and munitions of war. Captain Sigliee of the exploded Maine, was given a new ship, the St. Pml. The shadow of the ex ploded Maine seems to haunt Sig lee, for only two days lefore he was readv to leave Philadelphia with his new war ship, a Spanish spy was foil ml on lioard the St Paul. The spy was making in- ..niiv :ilMint the location of the ship's magazine. A battle was fought lietweeu i company of Spaniards and a com iKinv of Cubans on the Island of 1 Cuba last Wednesday. The Span iards were victorious. TheSpauish loss w:is small. The Cubans had 10 killed and '2:1 wounded. Captain Sigsln-e, has gone to sea on the cruiser St. Paul, with sealed orders. On the 4th iast., live scouts and a company of Cubans under Oen end Acorta, attempted to land on the Island ol'i'uba from Key West from the tuir Levden. They had just got ashore with some amuni lion when the Spaniards came quite a baitle took place. llie liumU'r of killed and wounded are not rejMirted. The laixling party made a union with the rebels. An American gun boat came al most to the shore and opened fire on the Spaniards, and they hur ried away. So step by step the United States is entering military wedges in Cuba, preparatory to the great movement that may come any time. The purjtose to land several thousand United States regu lars on the the island of Cuba, on the 4th of May, was changed. Their invasion has been postponed ou account of a change in the plan of naval opera t ion before Havana. All the Heel under Commodore Sampson before Havana sailed away on the ."th of May under sealed orders from the government. The only vessels to keep up the blockade are firmed tug ltoats. Where Sampson sailed with his fleet could not lie told when he left. It is conjectured that the fleet has lx-en sent to capture Porto Ilico. tiiat is located in the Atlan tic ocean lielween Cuba and Spain. ( ne of the notable events of the blockade, was the capture of the French Mail Stamer lafayctte, when she attempted to enter Ha vana harlsir on the .rth of May. She made a determined effort to get through the line of Cncle Sam's blockading fleet bJ three war ships headed her off and sent a couple of shot at her so as to scare but not hurt her, and that brought her too. The news of her capture had scarcely been de spatched to Washington, till the order was sent to release her, be cause the Lafayette had permiss ion through the French Minister at Washington to pass through the blockade into Havana. Spain is appealing to European governments to intervene and stop ,.ie i,as j,,, allowed to liecome a the war. Move out of Cuba and ' breeding place for yellow fever, prevent the war, was the command 1 KvtMV vear yellow fever is brought of the Congress of the United ' from Cuba to the United States, States. That order has not been j an)i thousands die every season, changed. The fact that the order ; The Dr., s:ys that the fact that was not obeyed has at this early j ,ier American management, yel- stageoi me war resulted in the iow fever will lie abated, is the United States taking the Span-: Kt reason for justifying the war iard at his word and making war a,i capturing Cuba. navy a lighting opportunity and and cleared the Pacific ocean of all danger to commerce and trade, away off near China, but has won for the Americans the Philippine Islands. Spain must not only get off Cuba, but she has already leen whipped off the Philippine Islands and all that is nlv thff lierrinnin oftheend. But what will the the European nations do aliout intervention! The naval warfare attending the blockade of Cuba is full of incidents that are of great importance to the individuals directly concerned in them, but of no particular interest to any other person. The marshalling audlrilling of the 125,000 troops that the Presi dent called for gies merrily ou in each of the States, Pennsylvania's onota of that number is still at Mount Gretna, Lelwnon county. Captain Hertzler's company has not yet lieen called from this county, and in all prolwbility will not lie called if Sampson's fleet succeeds in defeating the Spanish fleet. If Sampson is defeated the war must needs lie prolonged. If he wins the buttle, the war will lie of shorter duration, and the 125,000 troops will not lie needed. A uum lier of Mifflintown young men are anxious to go and quite a squad went to Lewistown on Sunday with the expectation of getting into the Lewistown company at Mt. Cretn. The company is short its full num- Ikt, leeause, some of them coultl not pass the physical examination. The Mifllintown lioys hoped to jjet into the places made vacant by the physicaly weak ones. Four Mifllintown Ihivs were accepted, namely .John Nixon, William Ellis Harley Mi-Clellan, AustinCalhoun. The public sc hools under command of Professor (Jortner, formed in military order marched to the rail road and bade the young men giod by on Monday, when the lwys Isiarded the 10.." a. m. train. Congress unanimously passed a vote of thanks to Dewey forhis vic tory. It is now said that if Samp son's fleet defeats the Spanish ai Porto IJico this week, that next Sunday, May 15, an army of 50.0O0 Americans w ill lie sent to Cuba. 31 millions of war and small lxwl ies of American soldiers and pro visions are liciug transported to Culia. Five thousand troops are gathered at San Francisco ready to lie sent to the Philippine islands to hold the territory won by Dewey. Sampson's fleet is hunting for the Spanish oil' in the Atlantic in the direction of Spain, 1200 miles from Cuba. It is asked, w hat shall lie done with the Philippine Islands now that we have them, and what shall be done with Porto Ifico and Cuba when weget them ! Com mon sense, says, keep them. The inflated pretentions of civilization and international law were of no ac count in preventing a war and they should not lie allow ed to come in with the baby act at the close. We turned barbarian in going into the war, and as barbarian we'll hold what we get by the right of con quest. Dk. .John li. Hamilton, comes forward with what he considers a just cause for the war with Spain. It is that Havana under Spanish two hours more ou the forts in and around 3Ianilla were lowered. The ships tnat were worth saving were taken charge of bv Dewey and those badly disabled were destroyed by fire. And all that done within the period of 8 hours. The incidents of those 8 hours are numbered by thousands. Hi nmm . , " " ' " 4; m ? NAVAL WARFARE. Four months ago a man would have been proclaimed visionary had lie predicted that lietore Decoration Day IStts, the United States will have liecome the ow ner of large possessions awav on the other side of the (ilobe, only six hundred miles from populous China, but all that has come to pass within the present month of Mav.. Commodore (ieorge Dewey, on the 1st of May, encountered the Spanish fleet of 1 1 ships, in the harlior of manilla. destroyed the fleet and captured Ma nilla, and holds the country for the United States. It wasaniarvelotisachicveinent. Six American war ships with over 10 hundred men captured aud destroyed 11 Spanish war ships that were manned by over 2000 men and all the Spanish fortifications at Manilla manned by thousaudsof soldiers, and having cannons that throw shells to a distance of more than fivemiles. It was marvelous to overcome the Span iardssothorougely equipped, and toovereome them without losing a man and haveonly eight A mericans won tided. There were 300 Spaniards killed aud over 400 wounded. Under the light of the moon of the last dav of April, Commodore Dewey started his six war ships, the Flag Ship Olympia; the P.altimoie; the Kaleigh; the Petrel, the Concord, aud the IJoston, for the harlior of Manilla, and by 5 o'clock on Sunday morning May 1st, he was by the fort and inside the bay, w ithin 5 miles of the Spanish ships of war lietore discovered. Then the forts opened hre, ami two mines were exploded close to the nag ship, but they tint no harm, Dewey was stationed on the bridge of his ship directing by signal every movement of the fleet as it circled around aud around de liveriiig its lire at the fleet and forts of the enemy, he had several of olliicers stationed in the rigging of the ship so that some one would be left to command in case a shell from the eneniv would strike the bridge of the Olympia and kill Dewev and those about him. Reiueni- licr the Maine, was the battle crv of the men of the American fleet The Spanish fleet was on the move and firing, but some how their shots did not hit. A shot passed through the Baltimore. Her main deck was partly shot away and one of her guns put out of shooting onier. A ixix ot amiimhou was exploded bv a lul Iroin the Spanish fleet and S men wounded. There were hundreds of slight tips to the or tier snips but the s men on the Baltimore were the only men hurt. The American fleet made five circles in two hours, silenced several lortiticat ions, lest roved tnree Spanish men of war war ships audi then w ithdrew for breakfast. That was the greatest work ever exe-1 cuted by a fleet in modern times lefore breakfast. After a good MAP OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS There are ao many islands in the Philippines that the exact number it unknown. There are nine very large one Luzon, Panay, Zebn, Leyte, BohoL Negro, Samar, Mindanao and Mindoro with more than 1,200 smaller ones. They hare an entire area of oyer 120,000 afaare miles and a population of about 7.500,000. And here again is found the old story Spanish officials hove ruled with a rod of iron, and the worm has turned. Manilla, the capital of the Philippines and the chief city of Luzon, contains a population of 339,000, prin ciDally Spanish Creoles, Chinese half breeds and the original natives. The bay of Manilla, the largest and finest in the world, could offer anchorage to the united fleets of Europe. V reliellion against Spanish authority had lieen in progress quite : white, soul when it lecame known that an American Xaval Com mander was inning to the assistance of the insurgents, they did every thing thev could to assist the Americans.

Manilla, he capital and largest city ot the Philippine islands, has a popu lation of about S30.000, consisting of Spanish Creoles, Chinese half breeds and natives. Up to within 26 years ago It was a city of imposing appearance, tba houses being solidly built of stone, but au earthquake shook most of theci to pieces, and when the inhabitants rebuilt they made low, lightly constructed houses of wood and bamboo. The natives of the Philippine Islands do not look like Americans, or Europeans. They are of a different raee. This pieture gives a lair representation of the appearace of the men. This was Lieutenant Koliison's baptism in Naval war fare, his ship thp Roston was struek a liuinlier of times but the men all escaped. A shell passed in front of her commander Captain Wildes, on the bridge aud kiuieked on the loremasi, ana ine snip was sei on ore iice ny shells that exploded inside of the ships.

The natives of the Philippine islands, who have been for some time light ing for freedom from Spain, are a small, dark brown people and a branch of the Malay race. The features of the men are coarse and ugly, but they have fine, mild eyes. They are tractable and docile when well treated, but neither quality has been developed by the Spanish. While Juniata county is not large, it generally has representatives wherever great focal events transpire, and the capture of the Philip pine islands is au other illustration ot tiiat fact, lor on lioardofComiuo dore ieorge Dewey's flagship the Olympia, is Joseph Stutts, of Mifllin town. . ..! was built in 1883.
