To drive the Spaniard from the mam And establish Liberty. We are taking our lives in our hands, boys, We may not return p.gam. But be who fights in Freedom s cause Nor lives nor dies in vain. Take a long look at the Court House, boys, Silent, solemn and still. And the sunny town that stretches round And each suburban hill. Take a farewell look at the faces, boys, That bid us ' good bye with pain. For none dare say when he goes to war That he will come back again. And Oh. it is hard for them. boys. To wait and watch at home, W'len all their thoughts and all their hopes Ar with the lads who roam. And many a heart may break, boys, When news comes over the wave Th'-t? death's keen blade a loved one laid i i fur off soldier grave. A '1 O:.. how we'll want to come home, boys, H ... we'll feel that we ought and ! '- nstl v w Aul :uiy that hope to come back again Preserve us from danger's thrust. There's one thing we'll not leave be hind, boys, And that is our Country's flag, Brit we'll plant those glorious Stars and Stripes Where hangs the Spanish rag And whether we march or bivouac, boys, Whether we guard or fight. Living or dying, may Freedom's nag, Be evef in our sight. And this be our motto and aim, boys, As off to the field we plod, Always and ever to do our dnty And leave the rest to God. Then, Hurrah for the Stars and Stripes, boys. Hurrah for Cuba, too And hurrah for the hearts that are true and brave. The hearts that dare and do ! E. H. N EG LEY. Importance of the Coal Supply. The question of coal snpply is a serious one at any time, and it can read ily be seen that in the event of hostili ties between two nations which are se pa rated by three thousand miles of water, like this country and Spain, the question easily becomes first in import ance. The navy that elects to place the wide Atlantic between itself and its coaling base will carry on its campaign under an enormous disadvantage. Not only must it maintain a line of coaling ■hips, but these ships must he cqnvoyed across the water, to which duty a not inconsiderable number of its fight:ng ships must be assigned. Moreover, to make certain of the transfer of the coal to the fleets, some sort of coaling port must Is; established, for coaling at sea is both slow and hazardous and only capable of being carried out in fairly umootb water. As the case now stands, Spain pos sesses two coaling stations In the West Indies, one at Havana and another at Porto Kico, and as Cuoa would pre- •umably be the objective point of both combatants, it is reasonable to expect that Spain would send her fleet to Cuban waters and endeavor to strike a decisive blow in a general fleet engagement. Should the be successful in this, how ever, she would still be under the neces ulty of convoying her coal ships across the Atlantic, a task which she could not hope to accomplish successfully in the face of the numerous and powerful auxiliary fleet which we shall soon have at our disposal. On the other hand, it in quite jiossible that Spain may choose to place the burden of keeping open a three thou sand mile line of communication upon our navy, temporarily surrendering Cuba and Porto Rico, and choosing her battle ground on the eastern side of the Atlantic. If she does this, there is no denying that we should fight at a great disadvantage, and the wiccess of our fleet would be more problematical. One of our first objects, if we did not rest satisfied with the acquisition of Cuba, would Vie to secure a bans of operations wijhin reach of Spain itself, where coal might be stored and as much refitting as did not involve a visit to the dry -dfx-k carried out. The Canaries would funiiih such a base, and it is likely that a collision between the fleets would occur in the vicinity of th&so islands. If we encountered the full force of the Spanish fleet, it is not to be supposed that our ships, even though victorious, as we think they would be would oine scathless out of the fight. The Spaniard< are strong in torpedo boats, and we might even lose a ship or two in the general melee. It is likely, in any ca> i . that the victor in a modern fight will be a ripe subject for the dry dock ar;d navy yard. If so. this would nece-iMt itc part of the victorious fleet limping home for repairs before it could follow up its advantage. This, 111 itself, would !»• a perilous trip, for shot-holes at the water line, or a few feet of the outer bottom ripi»ed up by a glancing blow fiom the ram of a battleship, would not improve the chances of a ship surviving such weather as the San Francisco and the New Orleans en countered on their recent passage. ~ Bcientifk American. < 'ulm's t'anc in a Nutshell. From London Truth. All colonies have a to become independent of the mother country if they so please, but never hail any colony a better ground for adopting this course than Cuba The attempt of Spain to maintain her sway in that island ban been characterized by hideous ctro citic*. and the civil war has been en con raged by the persons sent from Spain to end it, in order that they mav make money. Cuba is almost mined its people are starving The end of tin war is as far off, so fHr as Spain is con cenied, as it ever was Under thes< circumstances, the determination of th< United State< to secure to Cuba her in dependence is worthy of all praise. OFF FOR CUBA. Events of the Past Week. BUTLER'S OVATION TO THE 15TH. ■> \ * If ever Butler had an historic day, that day was yesterday- Wednesday, April 27,1898. Word came to town. Monday evening of the Governor s call for the concentra tion of the state militia at Mt. Gretna, anrt all next day the boys were making ready to go. .Tuesday evening all butlet- Sfifcmea to tnro out to see Company E. drill and march on the Diamond and Main St. and Wednesday afternoon and evening witnessed the largest crowd ever as sembled on oar streets or at the rail way station. A special train containing the two companies of Erie left that town at 1" a m., stopped at Meadville, Greenville, and Grove City for more cars and com panies, reaching Bntler at about 5. p. m. Arrangement* had been made for a stop and a lunch here, and, the soldiers marched from the West Penn station to the Diamond, escorted by old veterans, and young ladies. They stacked arms in the Park and tackled the pies and cakes and coffee and- fruits spread out on tables set around the Court House, and seemed to enjoy the affair, while all Butler looked at them and made them welcome. Towards? p. m. they reformed, and with the Bntler company and the Band marched down to the station and board ed the cars, the crowd following. The train consisted of ten coaches, and was completely surrounded by peo ple until it passed out. The Bntler company occupied the first car of the train as it l»ft Butler, and the change at the Junction would probably make it the last car of the train crossing the mountains. It was the grandest day liutler has ever had, and at the same time it was a very sad day for some people. It is not all likely that the state militia will l>e needed in Cuba, but no one knows when or where a war will end. • One of the cars had a sign upon if containing the same words as the one stretched across our Main street. "REMEMBER THE MAINE," and it was that dark deed of treachery and murder that put the spirit of ha tred and revenge in this nation, arul the war now beginning may end on the ■oil of Spain. The majority of the members of Co. E. are yonng and unmarried. The roster below is, we believe, u complete one, and notes the exceptions. Let us hope for the speedy return of all of them.

THE CALL FOR VOL UNTEERS. Since our last issue the record of events leading up to our present rela tion with Spain is about as follows. On Thursday, the 2ist iust. Secretary of State, Sherman cabled President Mc- Kinley s ultimatum to Minister Wood ford at Madrid, but just as he received it and b.-fore he had time to present it t > the Spanish government, he received a note from their minister of Foreign aff.-.irs - -verineall diplomatic relations with this country and politely inviting Li m 11 leave tl.at country, so Woodford turned over his affairs to the represen tative of the British government at Madrid, and took the neat train for France whither his family had proceed ed him. The British minister inquired of the Spanish government regarding the treatment of neutrals, and lntiinu t t his government intended to con sider Coal a<* being contraband of war. The Spanish fleets were at Cadiz and the Cape Verde islands, and the govern ment announced that they were already on their way to meet those of the United States. Oar "North Atlantic Squadron" con listing of two battleships, several cruis ers and a number of gunboat-, monitors anl torpedo boats was lying at Key ■We- but early Friday morning the fleet, excepting the moniter-, got un der way and by noon of ihat day had blockaded the harbor of Havana, and have sine, captured several Spanish merchantmen and passenger boats, and sent them to Key West. The "Flying Squadron is lying at Hampton Roads, and is being kept there for a purpose. Some foars were expressed regarding the safety of the battleship Oregan, which left San Fran- cisc-' f jr the purpose of joining the fleet ut Key West some three weeks ago. Her coarse would take her around Cape Horn, ami nhi, \vn.§ la-it heard of atCallio, Peru. wh--ro she stopped f'i r coal The north eastern coast of Brazil which the Oregon will pass coming north is but two days steaming from Cape Verde islands, and fears were en teit.-tir.Ki that the Spanish fleet there would go vroiw uTiC intercept her. Two of the "Flying Squadron" went to sea with sealed orders Saturday, and are supposed to have gone to meet the Oregon.
