We are asking assistance of nobody. Wo feel imply able to paddle our own canoe. But we shall note all develop ments and remember them If old friends desert os, we shall know it. If old enemies come to our aide wo shall know that.' And of one thing there is this positive assurance; We shall emerge from this war more to be de sired as a friend, and more to bo re spectsd as an enemy, than ever before in our history —Washington Star The saddest news of tbe war io con tained io the hints that come now and tbsn from the interior of Cuba as to tbs fate of the reconcentradoes. There wretched noncombatants, for whom neither the Spaniards nor the insurgents have shown any considera tion, are now cut off from all hope o immediate succor by tbe hard necessi ties of war and are dying of starvation by thousands. Tbe fate imposed up* on these wretched people is one ot tbe moot horrible crimes of tbe century.— Philadelphia Record. Borne of the newspapers are printing a picture which is alleged to show tbe smokestack of tbe gunboat Hudson after she came out of the engagement at Cardenas the other day. If the picture is accurate, then tbe Spaniards must be among tbe moot expert gun ners io any military service. Tbe smokestack in the picture shows rents and indentations indicating that it was struck not lees than ten times, while two ventilators within a few feet of tbe smokestack were shot to pieces and a corner of the pilot bouse, also dose at baud, was splintered by a shot. Thus it wobld appear that the Spaniard* bad landed not less than thirteen shots within a space less than twenty feet eqnare, and ton of the shots between two perpendiculars lees than e»x feel apart. We have been told lb al tbe Spaniards are poor marksmen ; either that statement or tbe picture of tbe Hudson's smoke fc stack io incorrect. —Savannah News. To-day no American fighting craft is deemed complete without its belt or cofferdam of corn-pith cellulose, says the Chicago Chronicle. The pith of .the stalk is cut out and ground into a odhree, mealy mass, and then under preesure molded into blocks or brie quoltea. Io this form it is packed into the cells made for it against the sides of the ship and about the region of tbe water line. Tbe stuff weigh* only a fractional part of a similar bulk of water. Now, when an enemy’s shot goes tearing through tbe outside plating and pierces the oeUuloee, if water be admitted by tbe rolling cf the vereel, the cellulose at once swells automatically and plugs the bole in itself as well as in tbo plating, thoa preventing a dangerous admission of water to tbe ticklish region of tbe water lino A curious virtue of thia stuff is that it does not exert a damag ing pressure as corn would do under like circumstances, but rests content simply with plugging the bole. Os course, this material would be scat tered by explosive shell fire, but even then, being fire-proof, it would not Jburo 3 0? ..S* ... f* » ;Av • T ... .Art-.
