Anxiety to-day niises from the fenr
th.it the Cape Vnnlo Khi- isli Fleet,
now believed to he bended fnr (.'iilm
may esenpe the fl.iot of Ad'niral
Sampson, which aid sueh good
work in desiroyiiiKtliefortifluationa
in the harbor of Sun Jnnn, Porto
Rico, last week, and flying squadron
of Commodore Schley, which is now
being given its first opportunity to
show what it can do in tho fighting
line, and get snfely in the C'nban
harbor. It will make no-difference
in the end and not a vessel in the
Spniiish fleet will escape destruction
or capture but it would be much
easier to destroy the fleet on tho
open sea than it will be after it gets
into a fortified Cuban harbor. And
besides, that fleet hns supplies for
the Spanish in Cubit which it is very
desirable to keep away from them.
The coming of the Spanish fleet
has naturally resulted in holding
up all plans for tho invasion of Culm
but they lire only postponed until
tho fleet can be got at and destroyed,
not abandoned. The postponement
of tho invasion of Cuba is really
very advantageous to us, as it will
enable us to make the invasion with
a larger nnd better prepared army
It has been found that ninny of the
volunteers are poorly equipped, and
it will take time to gather the new
equipments for them. Spending a
short while in camp will also be
greatly beneficial to the volunteers ;
it will get them in a condition to
stand a campaign in Cuba.
The several fiv'hts which havi
takou plnee in Cuban harbors be
tween onrblocknding ships and the
Spaniards during the last few days
have been entirely satisfactory to
tho administration. Formidable
batteries have been destroyed, two
Spanish cables have been cut, many
Spaniards have been killed, nnd our
losshas' been comparatively small.
The crews of the blockading ships
have proven themselves bravo nnd
fearless in carrying out the most
dangerous orders tho men who
cut tho two cables in tho harbor of
Cienfuegos having done so In open
boats, under heavy fire from the
batteries nnd from small arms.
There are a lot of rumors in cir
culation concerning Sjieaker Reed's
opposition to tho adoption of the
joint resolution tor the annexation
of Hawaii, wlnclx was tavoraoly re
ported to the House last week, and
his intention to prevent its being
voted upon. There is no foundation
for these rumors, further than the
wishes of who started them. Tho
resolution will be voted upon, and
will be adopted by a largo majority.
This statement is made on undoubt
ed authority.
There is no possibility th t the
amended war revenue bill which
has been roported to the Senate
from its Finance Committee can
ever become a law. In fact, there
is doubt whether it could pass the
Senate in its present condition. In
addition to striking out the clause
authorizing the issue of bonds the
only certain way in which the irov-
eminent can at short notice raise all
the money that may bo needed to
fight tho war to a victorious end
the amended bill provides for an
additional issue of greenbacks
amounting to f 150, 000, 000, a propo
sition that the House overwhelm
ingly voted down before passing
the bill, and the coming of the so
called seignorago of the silver bal
lion owned by the government.
43, 000, 000, 000 m silver certificates
to be issued in advance of the coin
age, Representative Steele, of Ind.,
a prominent membor of the Honso
Ways and Means Committee, said,
affc'r reading the bill re)orted to the
Senate : "The majority of the Sen
ate Finance Committee seem to
think that thi government can
carry on an exensive foreign war
on wind." Chairman Dingley said
of tho amended bill : "Tho Bryan
democracy appears to lift ve abandon
ed free silver and gone back to Hat
money, pure and simp e. I am now
wondering what 'tho republicans
who loft their party nnd enlisted
under tho Bryan banner in order to
secure the free and unlimited coin
ago of silver will say to that propo
sition. What's the use of going to
all the trouble and expense of coin
ing SO cent silver dollars when you
can print paper dollars in mdimir.
ed quantities and amounts at slight
trouble and expense." Tho bond
clause is certain to be restored to
the bill by a vote of tho Semite.
Representative Cousins, of Iowa,
who hns lieen known as an nnti-an-nexationist,
but who voted in favor
ufthe resolution providiug for Ha
waiian annexation which was re
ported from the committee on For
eign Affairs, of which he is a mem
ber, said s gnilieantly of our possess
ion of the Philippine Islands: "No
other power or concert of powers
can be allowed to have anything to
say tis to how long the U. S. shall
retain possession of those islands.
We are at war with Spain, and the
capture of the islands is one of the
incidents of that war. . No other
power has anything tosay about it.
Senator Sewell has positively de
clined to accept the commission of
Major General in tho volunteer
army, preferring to remain in the
Senate.

BROOKS GOT THE MOOSE.
nmiril i Trnll Thrpp Slhll
WHhont I'nixl. Prrntk Ilia lllood.
RobwpII O. Brooks, of 202 RWlgPWOod
Ivenue, MlnnenpnHs, a Rcirintinc ex
plorer, who hns been in the forest wlldi
of Itasca county after loologloal spec-
mens for the University of Minnesota,
irrlverl home from Highland, Minn.,
recently In an enfeebled condition, aft
r having been In the timber three dari
without food or water.
Brooks Is an experienced hunter and
a man skilled In woodcraft. He left
Highland with one day's provisions
Intending to replenish at a camp six
teen miles out in the timber country
When on the road he strurk a mooet
trail that looked fresh and followed It
camping on the trail for three days and
nights without food or drink after thi
first twelve hours.
The weather was intensely cold. Th
moos ilgzngged over eighty-five mllcl
of country and every night Brooks camp
ed on the trail of the animal, unablt
to build a fire for fear that he might
alarm his quarry. On the fourth day.
at 4 o'clock In the afternoon, he saw
his quarry Btralght ahead passing
bunch of tamaracks. Realizing thai
the animal must pass an open spaci
ahead, and still not sure that the ap
pearance was real, he reserved his flr
and put two balls from a 30-30 rlll
over the heart. The moose died in lti
tracks.
Brooks crawled on bis hands ant
knees to where the moose lay, and, us
ing both hands for the effort, managed
to cut its throat With the instinct ol
self preservation, he glued his Hps U
the wound, and, lying by the moost
with his arms around its neck, drani
the blood of the animal.
Brooks ate part of the moose's heart
raw, and then tried to get bis bearings
He had not the remotest Idea where hi
was. Ho decided to strike south In thi
direction of Duluth. After going fif
teen miles he struck an old tote road
which he recognized as one he had
traversed, and in half a day reached
Highland. The moose was subsequent
ly brought In, and it will be set up al
the State University.
W ill lie llnrlpd In a Boat.
Captain Lord Charles Beresford if
nothing If not original, and Is deter
mined to be so even In death. He hai
resolved to be burled, not in an ordina
ry coffin, but tu a casket fashioned in
the form of a boat, which has Just been
constructed for him by Messrs. Wind
ram of Liverpool. The build of th
boat Is of the style known as "caravel,"
the materiul being of pine, West Af
rican mahogany, oak and elm.
It Is seven feet long and looks Ukl
a double-ended lifeboat, without, per
haps, quite as much sheer as la usually
found In such craft. She Is provided
with a wooden deck or cover extendlnj
fore and aft, and fitted lid fashion tc
go over the gunwale. Life lines an
fixed round her, and she is supplied
with a couple of oars, a rudder and
tiller.
The inside, upholstered by a leadlni
London undertaker. Is very Inviting
and altogether the boat Is one of thi
most attractive coffins that it Is possi
ble to conceive.
. Lord Charles does not propose tc
follow the example of Sarah Bernhardt
and of other notoriety-crazed acton
and actresses who carry their coffini
about with them, but has resolved to
leave it in the care of his undertaker
with whom it is to remain until th
time comes for the gallant and populai
sailor to "slip his cables" and to navi
his queer lifeboat moored until the daj
of Judgment in the family vault of th
noble house of Beresford at Curragh
more, in County Waterford, Ireland.
How Stanton Defied Lincoln.
The application of a man who want
ed to be chaplain in the army durlni
Mr. Lincoln's Administration was re
cently found. Attached to it are a num
ber of indorsements which are not onlj
Interesting In themselves, but aid It
disclosing the characters of the twe
men whose Influence largely molded
the policy of the government in thosi
turbulent times. The Indorsement!
read as follows:
Dear Stanton Appoint this mar
chaplain In the army.
A. LINCOLN.
Dear Mr. Lincoln He Is not 1
preacher. E. M. STANTON.
The following Indorsements art
dated a few months later, but comi
just below:
Dear Stanton He is now.
A. L.NCOLN.
Dear Mr. Lincoln But there Is n(
vacancy. E. IS. STANTON.
Dear Mr. Stanton Arpolnt ,hln

Dear Mr. Llncoli There is no war
rant of law for that.
E. M. STANTON.
Dear Mr. Stanton Appoint him any
how. A. LINCOLN.
Dear Mr. Lincoln I will not.
. E. M. STANTON.
The appointment was not made, bu
the papers were filed In the War Da
partrucnt, where they remain as evi
tie nee of Lincoln's friendship and Stan
ton's obstinate nerve.

STRANGE HISTORY OF BRIDGEWATER
A DESERTED CANADIAN TOWN.
A VnlnnbUl Specimen ef OnM Wan Fonnd
There end the Great Ilmh nf rronpertors
Wm Something Aatonndln Not An
other Speck of Gold lMnceTered.
"One salmon multiplies Its species a
million fold; the giants of the Western
torest spring from a seed no larger than
pea; but for gold the magic metal
humanity has levelled mountains and
bridged seas and oceans," said a well
known Oregon civil engineer.
"I was assistant engineer on the On
tario and Quebec Rnllroad, a branch of
the Canadian Pacific Railway, and In
running our preliminary lines one of
them touched Brldgewater, Ontario, a
deserted town, that was the personifi
cation of Oliver Goldsmith's 'Deserted
Village.' Brldgewater was brought In
to existence by one of the strangest
gold finds and crazes In the history of
this continent, and It goes to show
what great results sometimes follow
small and unimportant occurrences. I
will tell you the story of how a stray
cow caused millions of money to be
spent In search of gold.
"Nearly twenty-five years ago a far
mer's wife .was senrchlng the woods
surrounding their farm for a cow that
had strayed, and, becoming thirsty,
stopped to get a drink from a spring.
Slipping, she fell against a small, loose
rock, which rolled to her feet and
which proved to be a twenty-pound
nugget of almost pure gold. Bridge
water at that time was almost forty
miles from the nearest railroad and
the present site of the town was noth
ing but a wlldernesB, but the effect of
that accidental find of the farmer's wife
was such that Inside of six months
what had been a burned-over, barren
wilderness .was converted into a sub
stantial city of nearly 6,000 people.
"In digging a Bhaft about a mile
south of the townslte, on the clnim of
the Hon. Blllia Flint, a life Senator
of Canada, an Immense quarry of the
purest white marble ever found on this
continent was discovered, and, at the
suggestion of the Senator, the town of
Brldgewater was practically built of
marble, for It ha3 to-day the only hotel,
church, school, courthouse and private
dwellings constructed entirely of white
marble In the world, nnd a mile north
of the town are an abandoned axe fac
tory and grist mill, whose foundations
are built of the same beautiful mate
rial. "During the building of the town
thousands of men prospected the entire
country, and shafts and tunnels were
driven many of them nearly 100 feet
deep; but, strange as It may seem,
there was never enough gold found to
pay the cost of a Blngle 6hnft or tunnel
Bunk or run In the entire district. So
excited did the farmers around Bridge-
water become that Borne of them actu
ally hired guards to keep men from
going on their land to pick up gold.
"Pat Kehoe, an old Irishman, who
owned 100 acres of rock-strewn, barren
land, was offered $125,000 for his hold
ing, but held out for $150,000. To-day
you could buy the property for proba
bly 150.
"One rancher, whose farm adjoined
'Aladdin's Cave, the place where the
original nugget was found, sold five
acres to an English syndicate for $100,
000, and It is an established fact that
the syndicate spent as much more de
veloping their claim, as everything was
very costly, all material having to be
hauled nearly fifty miles, over rough
roads, and they did not get a single
ounce of free gold out of their pur
chase; but 4hey mined some quartz
about 100 tons shipped It to the states,
and in return got a bill from the smelt
ing company for $360 smelting charges
over and above the gold In the quartz.
This was the first, and I believe the
last, shipment of quartz ever made, aa
the cost of hauling, shipping and smelt
ing was $150 a ton more than the rock
produced.
"For some reason the marble quar
ries of Brldgewater were never worked
other than for local building pur
poses, Just why I do not know,
for, though I have seen many
so-called marble palaces In differ
ent parts of Europe, I have never
seen anything like those to be found In
Brldgewater, probably the only entire
town built of white marble In the
world."
Manner off Bxpreeelon.
"The secret of eloquence," said the
oratorical person, "Is not half so much
In what Is said as in the way It Is
said."
"Correct," vouchsafed the man with
the scrubby chin whiskers. "A verbal
promise to pay Is nowhere alongside a
written oie."
