Just at this opportune time,
when the question of our part in
the far East is under discussion,
a Mr. A. W. Bush reaches Ta
coma from a three years’ stay in
China, where, he asserts, he has
secured a concession from the
Chinese government for the con
struction by an American syndi
cate of a railroad 900 miles long
which will cost $30,000,000,
Gen°ral Linares,the com in and er
at Santiago, who is said to have
15,000 men under him is fifty-five
years old. He is described as a
man of medium size, and rather
• lender in build. There is tome
thing sad in bis face; ha is a man
who seldom smiles, and the fir«t
impression he makes upon a
stranger is that of a dreamer.
Shafter wiP put him to sleep in a

Senator William E. Chandler,
in a signed editorial in the Con
cord Monitor, advocates the cap
ture by the United States of the
Queen Regent of Spain and
King Alfonso, because such a.
blow would be vital to the ene
my. That’s the stuff, lets cap
ture them and exchange them
lor Hobson and his men.
Perhaps Weyler has contract
ed with the Spanish government
and Hobson am’ his men are to
be placed in dime museums
throughout Cuba and Spain.
Tins would give the Spaniard
who do not fight the United
States an opportunity to see a
few really brave men.
It turns out that Hobson, the
hsro of the Merrimac, was in his
youth a baseball t player, a twin
mer aud a boxer. Now we know
where he got hie nerve. The
knowledge will moiease popular
respect tor athletic sports as a
training for the heroic attributes
and for the larger fields of duty.
lhe New York Times insists
that the name of the Governor
General of the Phillippine Islands
is not Augusti, but Augustin, and

Uncle Sam now has something
like 60U,000,000 acres of land for
sale in the United States, and if
he takes on much more he will
become like some people we
know—“land poor.” Albany

After spending $25,000 in re
pairing the torpedo boat destroy

on the Cornish coast, the British i
Admiralty finds that she can

made before the accident. (
Apprehension—“ When oneof 1

Here is the Spanish situation
in a nutshell : Starving at San- ;
tiago; being butchered by insur
gents at Manila; a phantom
fleet (disabled if found) ma' ing
a demolish ation out of Cadiz;
fleeing for their lives at San
Juan ; on the brink of revolution
at Madrid, and awaiting the '
death stroke at Havana.
Captain Charles V. Gridley’s
friends propose to bury his ashes
on the top of the bank overlook
ing the harbor at Erie, Pa. It i>
a beautiful spot at the east end
of the peninsula, aud there a
monument is to tie set up. The
naval friends of the Olympia’s
oommander are said to prefer
interment at Arlington, where
so many heroes rest.
Dr. John Blair Gibbs, who
was killed by a Spanish bulh t
in one of the recent skirmishes
along the shores of Guantanamo
Bay, and who sacrificed a prac
tice of SIO,OOO a year in order to
go to war, said to a party ot
friends in New York before he
left to join his command: “Boys.
I can ass >rd to go and ought to
go to war. With me it is coun
try first.”
Isn’t General Joe Wheeler
taking counsel of his heart rath
er than his head in proposing
that Congress recreate the rank
of Lieutenant General for Gener
eral Miles? Let Gen. Miles win
this great honor on the field of
battle. Until this “gallant” he
ro has at least one uniform that
has oeen worn under fire, Le
can’t gracefully wear the stars
of a Lieutenant General. <
If Camara has really started
across the Atlantic with that
much vaunted Cadiz fleet, then
let us hope ehat he will practice
the strategy made familiar by
Cevera. There are four or five
firstrate warships in Camara’s
fleet, and if we can bottle them
up we shall have a pretty good
navy on our hands when the i
war is over without the trouble '
and exp use of building new
ships .
