A I'oiiitKSPoNiiHNT sends a nuota
tion from I.o.-sing's American history
in regard to Benjamin Franklin's
warning to his countrymen against
placing any faith in Spanish oilers of
friendship during the revolution
Franklin felt that though Spain was
unfriendh to Knglnnd it was, by its
nature, tho enemy of all republican
tendencies in America. With his
keen perception lie saw through tho
il 'plicity of Spain, pretending sym
natli v Willi the American colonies
and yet intriguing to defeat their
alliance with France. Franklin was
perfectly right, and his fellow-Amur!
cans of to-day have the saino opinion
of Spanish faith and promises that
he had.

Hampton Uoiul. April 4. The prac
tical completion of it tlyliiK squadron of
1 the American navy by the assignment
I of Commodore W. S. Sclilcy to take
charpte, nnd his acceptance, as marked
by Ills active operation of Monday Inst,
Is an epoch marking event In the his
tory of the present difficulty.
No other action of this government
since the Maine disaster so actively
determines the fact that actual war
fare has been expected. The North
Atlantic squadron Is ulwnys urnniiized,
I and the appointment of Captain Samp
son to Its command Is but the nntural
sequence of the i-etlienionl of Hear Ad
miral Slcard from actual duty. So, too,
the assignment of ships of war to that
squadron or to the 1'aclflc squadron
are but moves toward mobilization that
might occur at any time.
nut Hying squadrons are the direct
outcome of dangerous war conditions,
are not necessities of standing navies
In time or peace, and are expeditions of
an extraordinary nature, created only
When the government fully decides that
there Is fear of attack or that the time
is ripe for an attack from here. It is
therefore not only possible, but highly
probable, that the new American Hying
squadron has work cut out for It.
The fleet is one of the most formid
able that can be gathered together by
any nation. In average rate of speed,
In armored protection, in caliber nnd
number of guns, and in fighting quality
nnd discipline of men It can be proven
that the composition of this Hying
squadron Is superior, point of numbers
being equal, to any organization of a
like nature to be formed by a foreign
power.
Evidence of an unmistakable char
acter Is apparent that every man, from
stoker to commandant. Is not only
fonrless of battle, but courts It and
hopes It will come. The small caliber
gun that fired the commodore salute
Inst Monday morning with blank cart
ridge sang out a high pitched paen of
welcome nnd peace. Hut in every eye
Is the kindling spark of vengeance for
follow seamen hurled to death, and the
hope that the cannon's tenor note may
be ehnnged to the dreadful war.
In the makeup of the Hying squadron
speed and fighting qualities have been
considered. A summary of the points
In comparison with those of the best
boats that Ppaln can offer in making
up a similar squadron follows:
Name. Tons. II. l'r. Speed.
Brooklyn 9.271 1S.00O 22 knots
Columbia C.:i75 12,000 23 knots
Massachusetts ....10.2SS 9.000 17 knots
Minneapolis 7,375 11.000 23',i knots
The four best armored cruisers that
Spain has, compared with this fleet uf
flyers, would be as follows:

The totul displacement tonnage of
tho United States Hying squadron is
43.10D nnd of the Spanish only 30,'JOO
The average horse power of the United
states vessels is 12,500 and that of the
Spanish 11.750. The average rate of
speed of the four United States ships
Is 21 knots per hour, while the Span
lsh licet has to content itself with 19
knots. It Is possible that the battle
ship Massachusetts, being somewhat
slower than the rest of tho ileet, will
be supplanted in the squadron by the
New York, and the average of speed
and fast lighting capabilities of th
squadron will bo Increased. It must
bo remembered that the Urooklyn and
New York are two of the finest types
of fighting machines In the world, hnv-
lng their main batteries supplied with
rapid lire guns, with which very few
warships are equipped except In a sec
ondary battery.
The great point of vantage of this
fleet, however, Is In the thickness of
armor, caliber of the guns and the
fighting qualities of the men. There
are Ave 13 Inch guns on tho proposed
American Hying squadron, while the
whole Spanish navy Iuih not one, and
only two 12 Inch guns. Of 12 Inch guns
our squadron has four and of eight
Inch guns 14. Spain's four selected
vessels have Hve 11 Inch guns, and the
rest are mainly five Inch. These are
the points of advantage that Commo
dore Schley's fleet would like to dem
onstrate In actual fight.

SPAIN'S DISAitLI'.l) FLKKT.
Ordered to i;omnln at Capo Vcrdo Isl
ands Until J-'iu-tlioi- Orders.
Madrid, April 4. The Spanish cab
inet has decided that the torpedo flo
tilla Is to remnln at the Cape de Verde
IslnrnU until further orders. This Is
tho fleet that was reported to have
arrived at Porto Illco last Friday. In
stead tho fleet was dispersed by a
houvy gule and compelled to put Into
Cope de Verde Islands, In n badly
crippled condition, for repaliB. The
flotilla will be joined later by a squad
ron composed of the armored cruiser
Emperor Charles V, of !),235 tons; the
cruiser Alfonso XIII, of 6,000 tons; the
armored cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa,
of 7,000 tons, and the armored cruiser
Cristobal Colon, of 0.S10 tons, which
wilt accompany the torpedo flotilla to
Cuba.
It has also been decided by the gov
ernment to send the armored cruisers
Vlscaya and Ahnlrnute Oqucndo, both
of 7,000 tons, back to Havana. They
will receive orders to this effect as
soon as they sight Porto Hleo. A flo
tilla of torpedo bouts and tnriedo boat
destroyers Is being prepared for active
service at Cadiz.
The queen regent U taking very nc
tive part In the negotiations, and has
thoroughly Identified herself with the
war sectluii of the cabinet. Her ma
jesty Is reported to have t.ild Benor Ha
gastu: "I received from my husband a heri
tage for my win, and will never agree
to have that heritage curtailed,"
Si-nor Sugnstu suld to a friend after
Thursday s council at tho ualucei "We
I
went In seven mt-n Co urge the woman,
and came mil seven women, leaving
the man Inside," meaning that they
went In disposed to yield, but that the
queen's p: ri- '" mi and flrmness In
spired them. At the same time It Is re
ported that the queen regent Is doing
much to avoid a rupture.
(teneral Stewart Ii. Woodford, tho
United Stales minister, has made n
statement In which snys: "I came to
Spain under Instructions from 1'tesl
dcnl McKlnley to secure peace In Cuba,
with a permanent peace between the
United States nnd Spain, a pence that
should be built upon bed rock condi
tions, conditions of Justice to Cuba,
with assured protection to the great
Ameilcan Interests In that Island. I
have labored steadily to obtain this re
sult, and 1 st 1 II believe these great and
good purposes of my president may yet
be seemed. 1 shall not desist from my
labors for n Just and honorable peace
until the guns actually open fire, and
my faith Is still strong that war, with
all Its horrnis, can be averted."
The majority of the newspnpois hero
regard war as Inevitable. They think
General Stewart I-. Woodford has com
municated a llnnl nnswer to the gov
ernment. The Liberal snys: "It Is
clear that no concession will satisfy the
United States except the Independence
of Cuba, and we had better Immedi
ately end the uncertainly."
The Paus nsserts that "great unensl
noss prevails at Washington concern
ing the attitude of the southern states
In case of war with Spain, and also be
cause the Spaniards are organizing In
Mexico to Invade the states vilely
wrested from the Mexican republic."

Every ono who hml ever been In Alnikn.
of eottrpo began at the opening of tliu Klon
dike craze to rolnto port-omil experiences i
which In sonio way or other had eonnoo- t
thin with the subject of gold mining.
Slnny of them had a chnlioo to make a for

has been put latothoinamifiiotiireof these
storlos, there Is an original flavor to ono
told by a soldier nt present located hi tho
United States army In this city. (
It was In lsso, when ho wns In tho navy,
that ho was stationed on a vessel near
Sitka. There was considerable gold being
tnken out near there, and an enterprising ,
speculator uot hold of a party of marines I
on the ship nnd Induced them to buy hla
mine. There wcro 1110 of them who llnally
went Into the scheme, and they paid 810
ench for their newsouiro of wealth. There
was always a good deal of bpnro timo on
their hands, and they easily secured per
mission to nso this in working tlieirciaim.
For six months tho soldiers dug quart, by
day nnd dreamed of sudden wealth by
night. All were con'ldent of being ablo to
retire from the service with comfortnblo
riches, and looked mdly on tho poor oil)-
cors, who would lmvo to keep on soldiering
all their lives, not being In tho scheme.
At the end of Fix mouths they had a
largo pilo of quartz, and, loading It Into
nil tho old barrels, bags and provision
ensos they could find, they sent It by ship
to tho nearest cnish ma mill. Then follow
ed weeks of waiting till tho returns should
come, and an air uf subdued importance
grew In each man who expected at nny
timo to ho Informed that ho was worth
thousands of dollars. At last tho ship
enmo which brought tho returns from the
consignment, and tho gallant hundred
gathered nroimd tho treasurer of tho com
pany to hear how much onen was now
worth, 'flint individual opened tho mes
sage, nnd a grim smilo frozo on his fnco ns
ho went tlu-ough a short calculation on tho
back of the envelope.
'Gentlemen, ho said, "you ench owe
tho sum of 10 cents to tho steamship com
pany that carried tho quurtz. The gold in
it was just 10 bhort or tho freight
oharges."
And then ho passed hlshnt, while ono ot

WHAT IT INDICATES
Nothing so inteiferes with one's plans or
ambition like sickness or poor health. Have
you ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness? You can easily find
out by setting aside your urine for twenty-four
houis ; a sediment or settling indicates an tin
healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble,
l oo frequent desire lo urinate or pain in the
back, isalso convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder arc out of order.
It is a soiuce of comfort to know that l)r,
Kilmer's Swamp Root is the great remedy for
ill kidney and bladder complaints. It relieves
pain, stitch or dull aching m the back, dilTicult
or painful urination, frequent desire to urinate
scalding or liain in passing it, and quickly
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up "many times (luring the
night. The mild and extraoidinary effect of
Swamp-Uoot is soon realized. Its action is
gentle, yet immediate, the relief speedy and
the cures permanent. At druggists fifty cents
