FRIDAY. .Mav 21, 1898. The First Regiment did not leave for Tampa and the band will play "There'll He a Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight." . ; ! Sinor Polo, It aeemn, has been quite long enough In neutral quarters to make repair and take on coal. Let him be ordered to sail on. The American gplder asks the Span ish fly to walk In and be entertained, but so far the fly keeps buzzing around heedless of what Is In store for It. A larjre per cent of volunteers re fused has been for defects of eye and ear caused by smoklngbf 'cigarettes. Let tne youth of the'laud pin this on the lapel nf his coat. The Americans talks too much with the mouth while the Sanplsh are keep mi nium. The administration at ... . w asmngton are learning that "a still tongue makes a wise head." it looks like fusion between Great Britain and America might reasonably te entertained. Certainly It would draw all hesitating powers to knowledge of what they desired to do. l ne Hawaiian Islands are "a mill tary necessity" now. The advantage of a military necessity Is that It sur passes all other necessities In not knowing any law, either national or International. To the bulletin board warrior It seems strange the Oregon did not go to Dewey's fleet. What's the use Dewey did his Job complete. Sampson Is hunting for work and the Oregon can help both in hunting and doing the work when Its found. Suppose we all follow that master o pure English, Macaulay, and write it Jones's, Harris's, etc. It is so much more handler and more euphonious than the solitary apostrophe. And more sensible, says the Knoxvllle Tribune. The commencement orator at a cer tain medical college expressed the hope that the graduates might "go to their profession as all-conquering heroes.1 unee Death Is known as "the great conquerer" It may really be nip and tuck between them as to which shall gathtr the greater harvest. HUNTING SPANIARDS. (Fron the Providence Journal.) ine miiuia or nnoae island was aroused from lti slumbers last Friday morning: at an unearthly hour, and marched up and down the streets hunting for Spaniards. It Is evident that the nerves of our high officials are not as steady as they should be In this emergency, and It might be well to spend part of the hundred and fifty thousand dollar emergency fund In paregoric or Mrs. Wlnslow's Sooth lng Syrup. The battleship Oregon, the navy de partment assures us Is all right but for good reasons it Is best not to reveal her whereabouts. . The Interception of this solitary fighting ship was so evidently the proper thing for Admiral Cervera to attempt with his armored squadron mounting forty-eight large calibre guns that the movement of the Span iards westward from Martinique to Curacao, instead of In the opposite direction to meet the American man-of-war, has seemed incredibly stupid. Bit probably Almlral Cervera has had trouslesV' of his own which we know not of. Certainly hi ships must have been short of eoal when they ar rive near Martinique from the Cape Verde Isfttnd. It may have been his misfortune rather than his fault that ha missed the' Oregon. I V ARMY AND NAVT FACTS. The United States (a the fifth naval power1n th world The navies of Great Britain, France, Russia and Italy rank ahead in the order named. Germany and the United States are about tied. Our present affective fighting force consists of four battleships of the first class, one battleship of the second class, two armored crulers, eighteen cruisers, fifteen gunboats, six double turreted monitors, one ram, one dyna mite gunboat, one dispatch boat, one transport and eight torpedo boats. The powder used Is brown. A large charge for the biggest gun weighs GOO pounds and Is hoisted to the breech by a derrick, the powder being sewed up In burlap bags. Armor plates are tested by firing steel projectiles weighing 100 to 1,500 pounds at them from guns charged with BOO pounds of powder and at a distance of about a city block. Our battleships have a speed of from fifteen to seventeen knots an hour. Cruisers make nineteen to twenty-four knots while the monitors can travel about twelve knots. The biggest guns In the navy are forty-nine feet long, big enough for a man to crawl Into; four feet in diame ter at the largest part, and weighs 135,500 pounds, or thereabouts. There are six rear admirals Jif ac tive service. The offices of vice-admiral and admiral are unfilled, so there Is no head of the navy excepting Sec retary Long. The fastest vessels In the navy are the torpedo boats Porter and Dupont each of which can travel 27.5 knots an hour. BattLe&tdps cost from J2.500.000 to $3,7500 and cruisers from J600.000 to $3,000,000. A" good torpedo boat costs over $100,000. Battleships are for the heavy work cruisers are commerce destroyers monitors are useful only for coast de fense. The Indiana could lie outside Sandy Hook and throw 12,000 shots lnto4 Hook and throw 12,000-pound shot into New York at the rate of tour a minute. Those artist who show smoke in pic tures of naval battles are wholly -wrong. Smokeless powder Is used. All of the cruisers are named in hon or of the cities, and the battleships except the Kearsarce, in honor of States. A big battleship has on board an electric plant capable of lighting town 5,000 inhabitants. The boilers of the Iowa have heating surface of eight acres and hold thirty tons of water. Great Britain has 29 torpedos and torpedo boat destroyers. Uncle Sam has dtaly eight. Five hundred and forty six men and forty officers are required to man the cruiser New York. At present the total enlisted force of the naval militia Is 3,870 officers and men. Behind the heavy armour there is a padding of eight corn pitch or cocoa husks. It costs $500 every time one of the big guns on board a ship 1a fired. The Brooklyn and New York are our armored cruisers. Sailors are paid frem $9.50 to $12.50 per month and board. An act of Congress In 1862 abolished Hogging in the navy. The American navy has practically all been bull since 1883. A captain in the navy ranks with a colonel in the army. OUR OROWNIG NAVY. Today's Philadelphia Ledger: Within a year the United States will have a fairly adequate supply of battleships and torpedo-boats. Our Navy's prin cipal lack Is vessels of the armored cruiser type, of which we have only two. Spain' has a number of these which are able both to fight when cor nered and to run away when pru dence enjoins this course. A squdiron rapidly and strike quickly, while n mived squadron is comparatively dtf- of speedy armored cruisers can move flcult to manoeuvre. On the whole, the United States Navy is a formida ble organization, strong as to its fleet, and particularly efficient as to its of ficers and men. AN ESTIMATE OF GLADSTONE. "PoWay's New York World: Oppor tunism without conscience is sordid and low, however successful It may be. Conscience without opportunism Is in action that stupidity against which, as the German poet says, the gods themselves strive In vain. Gladstone combined the two as few other states men have ever done. And to justify the union, in his character and. his ca reer, it is only necessary to point to his stainless public and private life, his stainless public and private life, his noble public utterances, his profound ly moral public policies, and above all to his deeds his achievements In the elevating, educating and dignifying the masses of the English people. ' - Death has given to history a Colos sus of Democracy, a citizen of the world, a friend of mankind. - SHOUiD PRESERVE OUR FLAG'S DIGNITY. Today's New York Herald: The ten dency to use the Stars and Stripes for neckties, shirt waists and other articles of wearing1 paparel Is to be deprecated. and is certainly not sanctioned by good taste. Our flag should never be employ ed for nay purpose tending to detract from its dignity, and there are many ways of manifesting patriotism with out making clothes out of "Old Glory," CORNSTALK PITH IN , WAR SHIPS. , Today ho American fighting craft Is deemed complete without Its belt or cot ferdam of Porn-plth cellulose,': The pith of the stalk Is cut oat and ground into a coarse, mealy mass and then under pressure molded into blocks or brlcquettes. In this form It Is packed Into the cells made for . It against the sides of the ship and about the .region of the water line. The stuff weighs only a fractional part of a similar bulk of water. Now, when an enemy's shot goes tearing through the outside plat lng " and pierces the cellulose) if Wa ter be admitted by the rolling of the vessel, the cellulose at once swells automatically and plugs the hole in ltBdf as well as tn the plating, thus preventing a dangerous admission of water In the ticklish region of the water line. A curious virtue of this stuff Is that It does not exert a dam aging pressure as cork would do un der like circumstances, but rests con tent simply with plugging the hole. Of course, this material would be scattered by explosive shell fire, but even then being fire-proofed, it would not burn. Chcago Chronicle. WBST POINT AND ANNAPOLIS. Today's New York Journat: Th schools are as excellent at any of their kind on earth, but their usefulness could be, and should be, enormously augmented. Our experience teaches that when war comes a horde of civil lans patriotic or self-seeking, and alike incompetent, obtain commands, to the country's soredamage. We are being taught again the need for a reserve force of officers large enough to be deaquate for an,y emergency. The military and naval academies ought to become great national universities, year by year graduating, not scores or hundreds, but thousands of young Am ericans qualified for land and sea ser- vise. The army and navy might absorb only a small percentage of the min time of peace, but when war's sudden call -onies, as it has within the mouth these trained officers would be of in stiniable value. West Point and An iiapolis make a man of any youth who has in him the capacity to be a man md the education, the discipline there lecelved fit every graduate to make the bet use of his abilities in civil life rthilo constituting him an element of strength to his country in the houor of need.
