OUH COUNTRY : First, Last and Forcvet
It In true tlmt wnri.s L'.xponsive, hut
there lire somo things that cost nioro
tlmn war.
Tun man who ImiIwiivs discovering
faults in his tieilibors can see mhho
chip worse than his neik'hhors hy tuk

nre u number of mirrors in Sheiian
doah that rollout, these wholier thun
thou sniir;
IT I.s rmuored amoiif,' tho National
Guard meiiiher.s from this county
that the Pennsylvania volunteers
will be sent to the Philippine islands.
The report has no ollluiul verification.
Many of the "boy" from this county
are on the anxious bench for fear
there may be truth in the report.
Mny British naval officers have
expressed the warmest admiration for
the work of the American ileet. In
fact the preponderance of sentiment
in the British navy seems to he with
the Americans throughout, the
oflicers giving many practical proof
of their partiality. International
courtesy, however, debarred the high
ollicials from commenting on tho re
sult. IN'o section of the country is fur
nishing stronger evidence of loyalty
to the Hag and the nation than that
which was the theatre of the late
Civil War. Men who were thirty-live
years ago engaged in deadly strife
against each other are now vying
with one another in evidences of affec
tion for the reunited country, and the
men who wore the gray are clamoring
to enter the service of tho country
tinder the command of one who then
wofo tho blue.
Now that the public begin to see
the details of President McKiniey's
course in the Spanish-Oiiban matter,
the action of those wiio have been
making attacks upon Mini and his ad
visers because of what they assumed
was an unwarranted delay, is react
ing in his favor. It is now clearly
seen that every minute of time occu
pied since the destruction of the
Maine hasheen judiciously and wisely
utilized in preparing for war. It has
been the constant cry of men in Con
gress, and out of it, for years, that
the country was entirely unprepared
for war, and it is not surprising that
when the President and his Cabinet
found the necessity for entering upon
a war they recognized the importance
of preparing tlio country for it as fur
as possible. The result is seen in the
conditions which now exist, especially
if they are contrasted witli those of
sixty days ago.
Tiikhk is reason to believe that tlie
silver leaders propose to carry their
exercise of arbitrary power through
tho control of tho United States Sen
ate to the extent of refusing to con
sent to the issuance of bonds for a
war loan unless made specially pay
able in silver. Tlie silver leaders are
quoted as saying that they are un
willing to consent to the issue of any
more "coin" bonds, even as a war
measuro, but kindly offer to consent
to tho coinage of all the seigniorage
silver now in the Treasury and to a
large issue of greenbacks. They pro
pose to couple with this, it is said, a
demand for an income tax, even in the
face of the decision of tlie Supreme
Court against tile constitutionality
of the proposition. Congressman
Briinuu, who wus elected upon a plat
form in direct opposition to the free
silver horesay, declared on the floor
of the House that ho was in favor of
Hat money, and wanted tlie govern
ment to Issue greenbacks to the
amount of l.r.O,0(W,000 in place of
bonds. "Whether the voters of the
country will relish seeing a lot of
agents of tho silver niiiie-owners hold
the country up hy the throat in time
of war, for tho purpose of forelngthe
silver theory upon tho Nation, will
ho seen when they express themselves
at the polls.

In other words It may not have been

Itespectlnif Admiral Sampson's move

though It Is apparent that Interesting

the next two days. Therefore It is
quite certain thnt the rumor which
originated In London, to the effect that

Impossible for the admiral to arrive at

The London report that the conti

New York, May 7. Marino I'omares,
a wealthy Cuban, engaged In the ship
ping and commission business in this
city, has offered to the United States
navy one-half of tlie entile output of
a larue Ice plant owned by him at
Calbarlen, Cuba. Secretary Long has
notllled Admlinl Sampson, of the
blockading Ileet, that the Ice has been
placed at the disposal of his ships.
Calliailcu is located ISO miles east of
Havana, and is practically In the pos
session of the United States. Mr.
I'omares has notified his manager that
if the United States navy sends boats
ashore lie Is to turn over to them one
half of the output. The profits of the
remaining hnlf nre to pay for the ex

and most daring men In tlio navy, will
be given a chance for action within a

These additions make a squadron of
exceptional fighting ability. The New
Orleans as a fighting ship Is superior
to the Columbia, which was detached,
and tlie Scorpion, with her splendid
armament, helps fill out a squadron
that will give a good account of Itself.

Itofiisod to Knllst,
New York, Mny 7. Hard drill work,
designed to "season" the men as rap-
Idly as possible, has been in progress
with but short intermissions at the
mobilization camps of the New York
volunteer guardsmen Camp Black, at
Hempstead Plains, and Camp Town
send, nt Peeksklll. Tlie same method
of working the men into shape was
continued at Camp Voorhees, at Sea
Girt, whore the New Jersey troops are
stationed.
The Thirteenth regiment moved out
of Camp Ulack yesterday afternoon,
bound for Its armory in Brooklyn
About one-third of tho men remained
and will be drafted in the Fourteenth
regiment. The order directing Colonel
AVatson nnd such of his men who did
not Intend to offer their services to the
government to leave the camp came
suddenly. The men were In a turmoil
at once, and tho men Intending to re
main went nbout the regiment's streets
asking their comrades to uphold the
honor of tho reginjent and remain.
They, In turn, were asked by those
who would not volunteer to return to
Brooklyn nnd hold tho regiment intact,
Commanding olllcers of other regl
meats were besieged by their men to
allow them to leave the guard lines to
see Hie Thirteenth start for home.
This was recognized ns an attempt to
orguntze a hostile demonstration, nnd
all requests of this kind were refused
at that time.
As the Thirteenth filed out they pass
ed the Fourtenth regiment, every man
of whom was lined up Just Inside the
guard lines, Groans and hisses greet
ed them, nnd despite the orders of the
olllcers the men could not be restrain
ed. The Fourteenth needs men to fill
out its ranks to the regulation 12 com
pany formation, and Just a few of the
men remained from the Thirteenth to
muko the number.

THE TREASURY'S NEEDS.
Secretary (iaiio Tell-, tlio Somite Fi-
liiinco Committee of War Needs.
Washington, May 7. The testimony
of Secretnry Gage ns to the condition
of the treasury and Its requirements
In order to meet the monetary demands
of the war, atr made before the senate
committee on finance, was given to the
public yesterday. The secretary stated
the available balance in Hie treasury
on April 30 was $170,832, 172, hut from this
It was, he said, necessary to deduct
the $50,000,000 appropriated for tho na
tional defense. He estimated that when
the deficiencies In the war and navy
department were met there would be
an available balance of $01,000,000. The
treasurer estimated that he must have
$50,000,000 for a working balance from
day to day. This would leave now only
$29,000,000 of available net cash in the
treasury but for the fact that there
were some liabilities thnt would not bo
pressed. He thought thnt, all told, the
treasury could count upon available
cash to tho extent of $70,000,000 above
the $100,000,000 gold reserve.
air. Gage stated that at the time his
testimony was given none of the vol
unteer forces had become a tax upon
the government, but the entire 125,000
men would have to be taken care of
within a month's time. The best est!
mates placed the extraordinary expen
ses for the war and navy departments
at $j2,000,000 up to the 1st of July next
In addltlun to the $50,000,000 voted for
national defense. He thought that
from $10,000,000 to $50,000,000, in addi
tion to the ordinary revenues, would
have to be realized between now nnd
July 1 to preserve tho gold reserve In
tact. Without this extra fund he
thought the reserve would lie reduced
to the extent of $30,000,000, leaving in
the treasury only $70,000,000, all told,
at the end of the llscal year.

MAY BE HEMMED IN.
But London Ridicules the Idea of Another
Spanish Fleet Going to Op
pose Dewey.
London, Mny 7. Anxiety over the nb
sence of news from Commodore Dewey
was clearly reflected In the lobbies of
the house of commons last evening,
where the general subject of, conver- 1
satlon wns the uncertainty as to Ma
nila. Sinister speculations were in- ,
dulged In, nnd it was pointed out Hint -there
were, trading steamer under the j
iiritisn nng in .Manila hay on Sunday,
As apparently none of them left after
the naval battle, it looks as though
they apprehend danger In passing out
by Corregldor Island. They can hardly
he awaiting cargoes if the town hns
been bombarded, while there would be
plnnty of foreigners In that event
nnxlous to embark,
It is not believed that Commodore
Dewey lias met with disaster, but It is
the universal opinion that he has en
countered unexpected resistance, nnd
Is not In a position to spare a vessel to
carry dlpi'tchc:. Another suggestive
explanation Is hat Commodore Dewey
has not succeeded !r cbtnlning control
of the land telegraph lines to Bollnao
connecting Manila with the Hong Kong
cable.
The stories of nnotlier Spanish fleet
going to the Philippines nre regarded
here ns simply ridiculous. It Is con
sidered extremely improbable that a
naval battle will take place in the
vicinity of Porto Itlco so early as Sun
day, as any attempt by Spain to en
gage in such a conflict with a single
squadron would bo to court disaster.
It is supposed that the admiral of the
Cape Verde squadron mny be trying to
draw the enemy toward a point where
he could be telnforced by the reserve
ships from Cadiz, and where he would
be fighting within easier reach of Span
ish ports.
