GOOD-BYE.
We are going to Cuba. boys.
To Ftt the island free.
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 !

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. ~

< '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

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.
