Our Own State Slighted. Of all tho larger states Pennsyl vania s iiiota of volunteers has been the first mustered into the service of tlie V nited States, and more of her troops are now at the places of mobilization than any other state's. This speaks volumes for tho capa bility of the commanders of the Uuard. yet no man abovu the rank of Colonel has yet been selected from tho state for a command in the scr vli'e. although the four UeneiaU whose ability has placed this line body of troops at the President's sor yico are all ready to accept servico witlitheui; one of theni,(.ienl. Schall, of the First brigade, despairing of being appointed, accepted the colonelcy of a regiment rather than be left behind. Why l'enti'-ylvania, with her mug-: nnii-i-iii division of greater numbers ttmn t lie divisions arranged for by tlie War department, should be thus slighted, whilo ev Jersey, with one tuml I lie number of moil, should lime iii't-n favored with the appoint ing ut of one of the lirst Major-Oen-e als named, is dilllcult to compre hend, tho more especially as the Jersejnian soleoted had not specially distinguished hiuisolf in the civil war muie than dozens of others, nor, as a i .. luiimiidei-of tho .National Guard of his slate, brought it up to anything like the slalo of olliciouey prevailing in the titiard of this state.

An English Captain's Harsh Treatment by Spaniards at Huelva. Washington, May 19 Secretary Long gave out the wolcome informa tkm yosterdr.y that tho battleship Ore Kon, the second largest craft In tho American navy, hail successfully com pleted her long trip from San Fran cisco, making the entlro circuit of South America, and was now safe. Whether or not she has joined Admiral Sampson's licet the secretary would not say. The rigid secrecy of the navy j department was relaxed only enough to make known the host news tho navy department had received since tho hat- j tlo of Manila, as It mount not only that the Oregon was out of harm's way f i oiu a concerted attack on this one ship by tho whole Spanish squadron now in southern watcra, hut also that her sieat fighting strength would bo added to Admiral Sampson's forco In the near future, if Indeed it has not already augmented tho admiral's strength. Tho Oregon is a battloship, the mate ot the Massachusetts, both being first clasB, and reckoned tho greatest fight ing machine!! afloat virtually floating fortresses. The Oregon's armor licit Is 18 huhos, with six to 17 Inches on her turrets. Sho has more horsepower than the Massachusetts, and Is half a knot faster. On her trial trip she mado 17 knots an hour, ami earned a premium of $250,000. In hor main bat tery aro four IS Inch, olght eight Inch and four six Inch guns, licsldca sho hns !!() quick tiring guns. The Oregon le:t S:::i franrlsco nhout six. weeks ago. She stopped at Callao for dispatches, nml then went around the Horn and up tho east coast ot South Amorica. In all the trip covored moro than 13,000 miles. Tho last stretch, from Bahla to tho Windward Islands, has been followed with anxiety by naval ofllcials, for by a strango co incidence the formidable Spanish squadron of armored cruisers and tor pedo boats appior.clied tho Windward Islands at tho very time when tho Oregon was dee tlinre. It had been nuspeetod that the Spanish admiral would try to Intercept tho battleship with his superior forco, and heforo leaving ttahia Captain Clark, of tho Orogon, was vnrnod to keop a closo lookout for (ho Spanish floot. In reply Captain Clark oxpreseod his confidence in being able to hold his own slnglo handed with the Oregon against all tho Spanish cruisers. Notwithstanding Captain Clark's as surances, llio navy tlopnriment con tinued to fool that a meeting between the 0 innlsh squadron and tho Ameri can battleship on such unequal tonus was fur ftom doslrablo mid might bring moBt serious results. For tills reason tho official information reach ing tho auihoritim yesterday was a sourco of most htni ty congratulation. Where tho report canui from was not mado known-, hut thn mere fact that Secretory Long regards tho Oregon ns Bafo makes It ovhloni that sho passed woll to tho northward of tho wind ward Islands. Asldo from this hit of information Secretary Long said at the close of office hours that thoro was no lurther news to he given out. During tho day the bureau of navigation issued a bul letin summarizing Commander Mc- Calla's official report on tho recent engagement nt Clonfuogos and adding Bonm minor features on tho prospective exchange of prisoners, etc. Tho bul letins aro not proving of important uowb vnhio, although thoy aro practi cally nil that coiiios from tho navy department with Its official approval.

Hock, the wealthy Havana cigar merchant who Is waiting heio for permission to go to Havana on tho Oerinnn steamer Polarla, denies the stories of the suf ferlug and starvation of the people In the large Cuban towns. He claims tt have over G.400 men working on bin tobacco plantations and. incidentally raising food enough for themselves and a Inrgo cuminunlty besides. Senor Hock says he li Informed as to the real situation, and can set as many mor men at work railing food stuffs when ever needed. The farmers who are raising produce for tho Spaniards, ho explains, are armed and protected by the Government, and he asserts that the present blocknde cannot starv Havana or any other purt of Cuba Into surrender In a hundred years. When asked what wns becoming of the Pub.m population mennv. hlle hi shrugt'i-d his shoulders and remarked "The stories of the burned f'chls and desolated farmi between Havana Sngun la flrantle and Mntanzos told by American Investigators were true when wiltten, but a fortnight puts thos. farms In working order when protected by the government, nnd we are raising a ciop every 40 days. "The Island will he captured by the United Stn'es; the force against us Is too gieat, but It will be many months yet. I am a (lerman. Yes, I am ulsi a Spaniard, but I wish It were all over tomorrow. Yet, It will never he ended ns tho war Is now being carried on Twenty thousand American troops there cannot take tlie Island. It It not like the Philippines.

The naval authorities hero are said to be lighting vigorously ngalnst the release of the Polarln. They sav her admission to Havana now would ho the bright of folly, nnd It Is believed that the permit which It was under stood had been gi anted her to proceed to Havann will, If It has actually been Issued, be cancelled on representations to Washington.

A BRITON'S ORDEAL. Captain Wood Hed a Narrow Escape From a Riotous Spanish Mob in Huelva. Ualtlmore, May 1. Cnntnln Wood, of the llrltlsh steamship i:hvlck, whlcli awlved here ycRtenliiy from Huelva, reports that ho hml an eventful experi ence In the Spanish port. He arrived there on April 22 to take on a carK. of 3,200 tons of sulphur for Ualtlmore. Public sentiment was running high against America and Americans, and he gave nut that his cargo wns destined for Rotterdam. It had loaded 2.200 tonr by April 27, when he thought discretion the lustier part of valor and weighed tnchnr. "When the Spaniards found out 1 was going to the United States," snld Captain Wood, "they became wild with rage and refused to put another pound of cargo Into the ship. A mob came down to the dock nnd began rioting. They were armed with sticks and stones, ns woll ns big knives. They ex pressed their hatred for Englishmen just ns much as for Americans, nnd de clared they would destroy my ship nnd all on board. I decided to get away as sunn ns possible. 'I gave ordeis to get ready for sen and visited the Venezuelan consul, who represents the United Stntes govern ment, to have my papers attested. I no sooner left the shin than a crowd began following me, hooting nnd jeer ing. I paid no attention and continued on up the streets until 1 reached the Mblon hotel, where the consulate is located. The fast Increasing mob gathered outside the hotel, and when they dlteoveied I was In conversation with tho consul of Venezuela they stormed the place. The American ling was torn to i Unions and trodden upon In the streets, and the American coat of nnns was shattered to atoms. Th" eagle wns kicked In the mud nnd spat upon. The mob then went for me. They bombarded tho hotel with stones and smashed every window In it. They threw a dozen or more huge stones nt me, several of which just grazed my head. They then drew murderous look ing knives, declaring I wns nn Ameri can, and tried to kill me. "I slipped out ot the harts way, and by making a detour reached my ship unmolested. 'As soon ns I got aboard I heard the mob coming down the quay, yelling like mad. to renew the attack. I ordered the lines cast off, and we were soon out of their reach." S. E. Parker. Sharon.

THE ALABAMA LAUNCHED. Another I'ocmliliiblo Fighting Jla elilnc Tin' I'nelo Mim'is Navy. Philadelphia, May 19 The battleship Alabama wns launched nt Crnnms' shipyard yesterday afternoon. It was one of the most successful launches that has ever been witnessed at Cramps'. The Invited guests numbered hardly I 100 persons. They were particularly demonstrative, and they warmly con gratulated Miss Mary Huntingdon Morgan, daughter of the senator from Alabama, the shin's sponsor. None but the Invited cuests, tho workmen necessjry to complete tho launch and the newspaper representa tives were admitted to the yards. There had been an unusual rush of applica tions for tickets of-admission to see the launch, but absolutely none was granted. Every available space along the river outside of the yards of the Cramps had been preempted early In the dny by people anxious to get as near the scene as possible, and the river was filled with the big boats of sightseers, who made a noisy demonstration as the ves sel slid into the Delaware. The Alabama's completion depends on hor armor plate, and should she be needed for Immediate service this will be a matter of delay on account of the recent controversy In congiess over the price of armor plate. Sho will cost ?2,C50,000, exclusive of her armament. She Is 3CS feet long on load water line, of 11,525 tons displacement, nnd her guaranteed speed Is to be 10 knots.
