In a recent document presented to the British Parlisment the annual naval expanditares of the leading Nations of the globes wera sat forth in the following figures: Great Britain, $126,000,000; France, $74, 000,000, ; the United States, £)0,500,. 000; Japan, $29,700,000: Rassias, $29,- 000, 000; Germany, $21,000,000, and Italy. 820,500,000. Thess figures are hardly in keeping with the dresms of aniversal pease in which philant} hropic minds are wont to indalge. as they show that the day is still remote when the gating gan will be exchangad for the olive branch in seitling interas- tional disputes, HI EBRIRI atiy | The ease with which Colonel Ruiz and Mr. Tosca, » clork in the office of _ the United States Consul-General in ; Havana, found their way to the camp of the Cuban insurgents near that city, suggests to the Chicago Record that “the commanders of the Spanish - armies in Cuba are not very saxious to find the enemy. The members of _ the Spanish legation here explain that it is comparatively essy for an indi- vidual to approach an insargent camp, ~ bat i is impossible for a body of kroops to do so, for the same reason * kbat the Irishman could not catch the flea. The insurgents have no wagons ur baggage, they are not inenmbered by supplies of ammunition or commis- - wary stores, they have no tents or temp equipaga, they sleep on the round, with the sky for a coverlid, und when it raius seek shelter of sheds, plantation houses or trees. . They move with great rapidity, and #oatter into small bauds and retreat in {lifferent directions whenever they are wttacked or purwned. With this guer- tills mode of fighting it is impossible Mor the Spaniards to overtake or sur. round them.” Boome people wlio a are always on th ~ fookout for dangers and diffcalties hisve discovered that the employment of Japanese servants npon the men-of- sar of the United States is likely to prove embarrassing if we should ever _ happen to get into a row with that en- Berprising little country over the an- nexation of thel Hawaiian islands or for any other reason. Formerly, re- Istes W. E. Curtis, the favorite ser vants on naval vessels were Chinese, but when the agitation against them om the Pacific Coast commenced some years ago they were rapidly displaced by Japanese, who are equally as skill ful, obedient sodiattentive. They are better educated and often more intel ligent, although they do not rate as . high for honesty as the celestials. It is as difficult to denationalize a Japan- ese as 8 Frenchman, He may go to the end of the earth and remain for a lifetime, He may be under any kind “of foreign influence aud form any sort of attachments, but he is always a Japanese and the interests of his na- tive country are uppermost in his heart. It would be easy for a servant on board a man-of-war to learn all about that vessel, her arms and am. munition, her speed and horse power and even the orders of her captain, but what good would it do? All im. portant information concerning our ships is published auunally in forms that the entire world may read, and it would be very difficult for a Japanese citizen on board a naval vessel to learn saything whatever that need eanse ap- prehension if communicated td his Government, there will be one fins sonstitn. am. { but P then | WHAT CREATED THE DE MAND, i Canada can sell annually 850,000, TS What makes you buy that brand of sap I askin] a woman shrewd: i ¥Rame Hthers have far jarger soone os | hers reviews Likes me buy that Grand prea Joi ed wy erased “What mais } seed ¥ & MIbS LUELLA PERKINSS PARTY DRESS INT town wegr Mise LL Perkins with a birssful Mhe stead look ing at § CRIS silk which Jastt aken fr ¥1is 114 many wes WIADDIDRA, “Is the most beantifal tiung I aver ! saw, pean powers were engaged in making | ‘extensive naval preparations regar a | ae nuswered Hattie (np, sighing too, but longingly Miss Lioelln canght the tune, promptly tarned to her nieces, “Hattie Edna Ginp,” slowly, “‘next month I'll be years old.
