Spain Has frem Time Immemorial Been the Greatest of Them All. Spain has said that she will treat pri vateers as pirates. She is herself the chief privateer of the world’s history. She is the great bucca-’ neer. ' Not only had Spain commissioned pri vateers in every war she has ever had, but the Spaniards were proud of the his tory of the Spanish main, with its daring duds of piracy, it has (been asserted that Spain’s privateers had always made for Spain more money titan she expended in her wars.. Not only’had she sent her privateers in her own wars, but Spanish privateers fig ured verly largely in wars between coun tries as to which Spain was supposed to be neutral. At the time of our war with (Mexico, not withstanding the fact that the United States issued no letters of marque, the Atlantic Ocean and the Mejiteranean Sea were filled with Spanish vessels, com nianded by, Spaniards and manned by Spanish seamen, which preyed upon the commerce of the United States. An investigation by this government, de veloped a remarkable state of facts. At Spanish ports there were held for sale blank commissions from the Mexican gov ernment. and these commissions were pur chased by the owners of Spanish vessels, who. after buying the commissions, char tered ships for the expressed purpose of privateering. These Spanish boats made prizes of all American ships that ven tured into the Mediterranean or too close to Spain or Spanish islands. As early as 1819 Spain and Portugal add ed a new principal to the law of nations, when they declared that the commander of an artne»l Vessel of one nation had a right to visit and search the merchant vessels of another nation in time of peace. Spain lias constantly carried this out from that day to this, although every other civilized nation has absolutely repudiated the doc trine.

It was caused by the caving in of a mine under the town.* A low rumbling noise gave the people the first intimation of danger, and before most of them could move, their houses were thrown off their foundations, or the siuamminv of doors and breaking of win dows told them of danger.

TIME HERE AND IN MANILLA, Noo is 1:27 the Morning Before in the Philipines. « As public attention is now directed to the war operations in the Philippine Is lands, the difference of time between this country and that far-off region of the world tbecome a matter of considerable in terest. These islands are almost on the opposite side of the earth from us, and hence nearly in a direction under our feet, ftft’hen it is day with us, it is night there, and vice versa. The exact difference of time between Macon and Manila is ten hours and thirty three minutes, reckoning westward from Macon, or thirteen hours and twenty seven minutes reckoning eastward. Theo retically, the new day tbegins at midnight on the 180th meridian, reckoning from Greenwich, and travels westward. As the Philippines are west of this line, the international date line is arbitrarily hours, twenty-seven minutes ahead o.f ours, Ibut an arbitrary bending of the in ternational date line from the 180th meri dian, the iPhilippines are included in the region east of this line, and hence practi cally the time at Manila is ten hours thir ty-three minutes behind the time at Ma con. So that, if you wish to find the time at tManila, imagine that your watch be turned backward ten hours thirty-thfee minutes. For instance , the reader who looks at his watch at 8 o’clock on Thursday morn in iMacon will know that it is 9:27 o’clock on Wednesday night at ‘.Manila. As time is actually reckoned in the Philippines. As teh international date line is arbitrarily made to ibend around the Philippines the effect is to make the time one day behind that at Hong Kong, which is almost in the same longitude. From the dispatches which we have so received it seems that the battle of Manila was fought, according to the reckoning of the Spaniards in the Philippines, about daybreak on Saturday in .Macon. But as the time at Hong Kong is one day ahead of that in the Philippines the dispatches from that point gave Sun day morning as the date of the battle. So that if we wish to get the time at ■Manila acording to the way the people of that city reckon it, we must turn our watches back ten hours and thirty-three minutes, and if we wish to get the time at Hong Kong, according to the way the peo ple of that city reckon it, tve must turn our watches forward just thirteen hours. The difference in time 'between Macon and Madrid is five hours and ten minutes, that of Madrid being ahead. When it is noon at Macon it is 5:10 p. m. at Madrid. There is a bit of interesting historical information connected with the discovery and .possession of the Philippine Islands by the Spaniards which is not generally known. In the fifteenth century Spain and Portugal quarreled about the posses sion of the lands discovered by their navi gators. The matter was referred to the Pope, who directed that the line of no magnetic variation should be the boundary between them. Al lands discovered to the eastward of this line were to belong to Portugal, all to the westward to Spain. Spain was determined to possess herself of some of the East India Spice Islabds, but she could claim thpm only by mak-ing it appear that they were to-the .westward of this line of "no variation." which at that time was near the 50th meridian. Ht nee Magellan proposed in the interest of the King of Spain, to reach iMaluccas. by sailing westward. His voyage resulted in the first circumnavigation of the gksbe. As the Spaniards reached the Philippine by sailing westward they carried their time reckoning with them, and they still retain it, although it is theoretically in correct and one day later than that of their neighbors, who brought their time with them from the opposite direction. f«- >» tiails ■''ji' / /■■■■—is sa 'Mature/ r -j-— even V. v •'X-.-'.-i; •’■apt- SPECIAL NOTICE TO CITIZENS OF BELLEVUE.

Everybody is nwnro that the horse is the cleanliest of all domestic animals. It will not eat anything but good, healthy food nor drink nny but pure water. A horse would rather starve than swill the rotten stuff often given to pigs and cattle. Lt is nothing but prejudice that prevents us from eating horseflesh. A similar preju dice retarded the introduction of the po tato 100 years ago. e Today wo cotild not get along without it. Yet the prejudice against potatoes can bo explained. The people had been told that this American root caused fever and rendered the ground unfit for all other crops. The exception against horseflesh is not even founded upon any objection to its properties. It is solely due to the influence of the church. The clergy did everything possible to prevent the newly converted Saxons from returning to their heathenish practices and prohibited the use of horseflesh to stop the sacrifices to Odin and Thor. A long time passed before these sacrifices were altogether discontinued. The na tions of Europe have suffered enormous loss by this prohibition of horseflesh. Especially from the humanitarian point of view the ronlts are most deplorable. Millions of people are forced to live on po tatoes and similar food wanting in nutri tive qualities, while millions of pounds of the very best meat are wasted. Horse flesh is the most nourishing of all meats, and its taste is hardly to be distinguished from that of beef The flesh of a horse fed .on oats has a smell similar to goose flesh. The fat is preferable to lard. Above all, it should bo remembered that no flesh is so healthy as tiiat of the horse. Trich inosis and similar diseases are unknoftvn in horses.—Golden Penny. HE KNEW MISS FILKINS. How » Little Salt Became Comiuauder Marix’n Messenger. That charming Cleveland favorite, Grace Filkins, who will ho so pleasantly remembered in "Shore Acres," is now supporting Charles Coghlan In “The Royal Box.” She is the wife of Lieuten ant Commander Adolph Marix, the judge advocate of the naval court of inquiry which investigated ihe di struction of the battleship Maine. Li< utenant Commander Marix was formerly the executive officer of the Maine, and was continued as such until within three weeks of the time the battleship was sent to Havana, when he was detached for shore duty. When Commander Marix was first as signed to the Maine, ho and Miss Filkins had just become engaged to be married, and the naval oCieer was much in love with the lady. Commander Marix desired a ship’s messenger and ordered a second lieutenant one day to range up all the lads in the ship, that ho might select a mes senger from them. A dozen youngsters soon stood in Commander Maris’s cabin, all eager to be examined, for to L>e mes senger for the executive officer was a cov eted honor. In the row of lads Commander Marix noticed one little fellow staring with wide open eyes at a picture of Miss Filkins on his desk. This somewhat surprised him, and it pleased him too. When this young ster’s turn came to be interrogated, he stepped forward, but did not remove his eyes from the photograph. He answered intelligently, but somehow his gaze could not 1 e divertixl from the lady’s picture. Finally the commander asked, "Do you know this lady, young man?" "Yes,” piped the little salt; “that’s Miss Filkins. ’’ "How do you know Miss Filkins?" "My mother washed for her for nine years, sir." It is needless to say that the little ap prentice was given the post of messenger to the lieutenant commander. This boy’s name was Kogel, and abou* 18 months ago | he was lost overboard in a storm off Cape ! Hatteras. A great wave boarded the ship i and sent the lad into the sea. Four or five men sprang overboard in the midst of the storm to rescue the lad, ami all were saved but poor little Kogel, who was sucked down by the heavy sea and never seen again. It is a noteworthy fact that two sailors of those who went overboard in the storm after this boy were lost from the I ship for over two bouts and finally were sa' ed, after having been almost washed aboard of her by a great 6ea.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
