CUT PAY IN HALF.
BAD NEWS FOR SCHOOL
TEACHERSOF STATE.
Tlic will Receive Only Half Fay
in Jilly—Appropriations
is Short.
Here’s bad news for the school
teachers.
The state school teachers will re
ceive only half pay in July: For sev
eral years they have been paid quar
terly iu April, July, October and Jan
miry. This year the school fund was
increased to $1.(1000,001) and Lhe tax
levy, was not proportionally increased,
and tr,at will not he done until next
fail. Consequently the treasury is
kiting over the $-100,000 which is the
difference between last year’s fund
and the increased fund of this year.
The full quarterly payment of
$400,C00 was made in April but there
will bo only about $200,000 on hand
to pay the teachers in July. They
will have to wait for the remainder
of the second quarter’s pay until the
tax money arrives in this fall.

Historic Battle Ship.
In the war between the states there
was no vessel that made a more bril
i hunt record than the Confederate
cruiser, “Alabama," of which our own
! Adjutant General iv-fi, of Georgia,
; was the executive officer Up to the
day or her fatal ancounter with Kear
sage she was a terror of the neas, and
many a hard fought engagement made
the reputation that survived her. It is
gratifying to the people of the south
that our reunited country has honored
the state of Alabama by giving to its
latest and greatest triumph in ship
building a name already iamous on
the sea.
“From all accoiuts,” says the
Montgomery Advertiser, “the battle
ship Alabama is to be one of the best
in the navy. She is larger than any
American vessel now m commission,
and is to be more heavily' armored.
She will have of the largest guns and
a particularly powerful secondary
battery of rapid fire guns. The inter
mediate batteery of S inch guns will
be dispensed with, lessining hei
weight above the water line and in
creasing her stability without mater
ially impairing her fighting power.”
Not only is there evidence of our
reunited country in the bestowal of
'his name, but w; find the New York
Tribune saying of the new ship:
‘On the whole, it seems safe to
reckon the Alabama will, an all-round
fighting ship, outrank all her prede
cessors in the American. There are
bigger ships in the British navy, and
some that make a little faster tune
than she is required to do, and carry
more coal. But they are not nearly
so strongly armored, and there is rea
son to think that the Alabama might
be a match fur one of them In the
other navies of the world there no
ships that cau for a moment be
deemed her superiors, Hail to the
Alabama! She was launched m silence,
but she will make enough noise her
self to atone for that. Success to her
in all her voyages!”—Athens Banner.
“There’s no use in talking,” says

England May Take a Hand In
Spanish Affairs.
The Daily Chronicle commenting
on a dispatch from its correspondent
at Kingston, Jamaica, who says that
England has thrown 18 months’sup
plies into Jamaica where all the offi
cers have had th'ir leave withdrawn,
asks if England is going to take a
hand in the llispano American war

Historic Battle Ground.
The West Indies, where most of
the military operations of flic present
war between Spain ar.d the United
Stales will occur, have been the scene
of much of the warfare between Great
Britain Franco and Spain. In the ton
tests which these powers waged with
each other during tho eighteenth cen
pirv much of their strength was ex
pended in struggles for the possession
of these islands.
Many of the smaller ones passed
from the ownership of one to another
and back again successively, in 1760
Havana;: was captured by the British,
but was given lack to Spain on the
conclusion of peace. Some score ot
years later Count do Grasse, who a
little earlier ! ad helped to make the
capture of.Lord Cornwallis at Yoik
town a possibility, was signally de
feated by Lord Rodney in a great sea
fight off Martinique. His splendid
flagship, the Vide de Baris, was cap
tured and he himself made prisoner-

500 NEGRO TROOPS.
Adjutant General Corb'u told Jud
son Lyons yesterday that the depart
ment would take up the question of
raising immuncs among the colored
people.
Lyons asked tbit Georgia be given
on” regiment, but the adjutant gener
al said that the state would certainly
not bo given over 5,00.
Secretary Alger is being pressed to
give the command of the colored
troops to colored men, but the secre
tary has decided that the colored im—
rnunes must be officered by regular
officers. The minor offices will be
given to colored men.
The Nicaragua Canal.
The opening of the Nicaraguan
canal will do more to keep the United
States ot peace with the world than
any event or combination of events
that we can imagine, because it will be
a war preparation of the most sub
stantial kind. It will almost double
the strength of <. tir navy because it
will enable us to transfer our warships
from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast
in less than one third of the time now
required. The Oregon in making its
trip from California to Florida has
covered the distance of 13,000 miles.
If tne canal were open the distance
between the two points would he
4,000, a shortening of the route of
0,000.
The advantage which this would
give the United States is so apparent
as to need no comment. IV e believe
that the end of the war with Spain
will revive interest m the Nicaraguan
canal and that few if any congressmen
will be found to oppose it. In case
of war as we have before said, it will
make the United States invincible,
and in peace it will enlarge our com
rnercial interests so that we shall sup
ply the earth from the abundance of
our fields and the output of our mills.

IIOW TUNY LIVE.
The Hays of Soldier Boys Full of
Haul Work.
in these times of war and army
excitement, the routine of tl' daily
life in camp at Tampa will interest
many.
Every move during the day, which
is an official camp regulation, is made
on the sounding of the bugle.
Following is the program of .1 day:
At 5: 10 a. m. the bugler sounds
the first reveille call, and the soldier
rolls over in jiis <Jot for a little cat nap
of 10‘gimutes, 4 Then ne must get up,
for the bugler has said so in a short,
rasping miup of sharps and fiats from
one of the scale to the other-
Ten minutes after this riio soldier
must be in line, when the assembly is
tooted. Assembly over, the soldiers
wash up, and at 6 o’clock the toot of
the bugler calls him to breakfast
lie can tales an hour for this tneai,
but at 7 o’clock all men who are to
do fatigueing duty about the curnpfor
the day must be ready.
The others for an hour aim a half
go through the extended order of
skirmish drill.
At 9 o’clock the officers‘meet and at
tended school until 10 o’clock. The
men on duty ai fatigue are re called
at 11 and can rest til! 1, and the
soldiers after army drill also rest un -
til after dinner. At 11:80 the First
Sergeant’s call is sounded, and they
report to the Adjutants the condition
of the company. When 12 o’clock is
announced (Washington time) the
bugler belches out a hungry note or
two and the onslaught is made on the
dinner.
A practice march is taken up at 1
o’clock m the afternoon. At firs-; these
inarches were very short, but now they
are growing and two hou’s are being
consumed in them each day.
The men on fatigue duty go back
to work at 1 p. m. and some as lunatic
bugle calls him lor duty at 4:30. 1 ids
is followed by the call lor guard
mount at 4:30.
Ten minutes are consumed in rids
and then the Adjutant’s call is sound
ed. and th n officials report occurren
cos ot the day and other important
matters to the proper officers.
Supper follows between s:ou and 6
o’clock. From that time on the soldier
enjoys himself as best he can. At 9 o’
deck the tattoo is sounded.
F’orty five minutes later the call to
qnaters comes and every in camp
must be in lent. When the dials of
the trumpter’s watch tells him it is 10
o’clock he says good night to all in a
beautiful melody called tap.”
Lights are put out and all the mov
ing life in camp is made up of tho sen
tries on duty.
BLOW TO NOMINEE BRYAN,
Raised a Nilitarj Company at His
Home.
The election of company officers of
the new militiry company recruited
by William J- Bryan, was held last
night.
Mr, Bryan s friends had made a
canvass in his benalf for the captaincy
and he was placed in nomination, hut
withdrew when it was seen that others
desired the place. 11. G. Whitmore
was elected.
Members ot the company say Mr.
Bryan could have been elected, but
anything short of a unanimous vote
would have been distasteful to him.
The election was behind closed doors
and occasioned very keen interest.

THE ANNEXATION SNAKE.
The Cuban annexation snade is be
ginning to raise its head, “ibis is
our wa", not Cuba’s,” says the China
go Inter Ocean; “we are to lake all of
tho risks, bear :11 of the burdens ; nd
do all of the lighting. If wo do this
we must reap the benefits. Asa re
sult of the war, Cuba must oc me un
der American control, and under
conditions that will make our control
lastiug. Whatever the local form of
government may be, the island must
be ours.” There is a coitain attract
iveness about tlia style or argument
which will probably gain many ad
herents. There are persons who will
insist that wo ought to have H->me
liiing tangible to show for our .- ..ori
fices and expenditures. They will
not i e apt to take into consideration
tho assurance the country has given
that it does not mean to annex Cuba
as an outcome of the war; nor will
they give a great deal of thought to
the radical departure'in our govern
mental policy that would be involved
iu bringing Cuba under American
domination. The Chicago Inter
Ocean is a republican paper. The re- j
publican administration bar pledged
its word to the world that to seize
Cuba is no part of its policy. Does
'he Inter Ocean hope to induce the
administration to stultify itself? —Sa-
