Thirty-seven dollars per month is tho estimated amount of money which the government will pay out for each pri vaio. i iiis includes the cost of food, iodging, clothing medical attention and pay.

When all this ii cou-ideied tho scale of pay amounts to much more than it first Feems. At a reasonable estimate of tho cost of tho articles furnished, together with the i ay, it will be found that in the lowest grade, that of a private, the money value of w hat tho volunteer re ceives is about .s.. 7 per month, ranging upwaid to that of first sergeant, which is more than c"'.

Must Hunt l p the Spanish Miipi. It is thought that no enduring peace can bo secured until the Spanish navy has been destroyed, and to do this it now appeal s that our bailors must inako up their minds to go after the Spaniards, a task ver y much more dillicult than that of meeting them near our own shores. It was suggested by oome of the members of the war board that there was just a possibility that the Spanish sqiiadion might make a quick passage lu'o tho Pacific, through Suez Canal, and attack Dewey at Ma nila. It :s said that, contrary to th commoti understanding, tho Suez Canal is open to tho war.-hips of belligerent powers, so that if the Spanish choose to take this course they hao u long start d any ptusuing tleet from our side of tho Atlantic. It is scarcely believed, however, that the Spanish aro w illing to take tho great risk of exposing to our attack their own homo ports by the w ithdrawal of so considei able u portion of their naval strength us would bo re quired to oveimatch Dewey.
