Mole St Nicholas and Point
de Paix are obtruding themselves
into proininonco as war centers
Tin government having declined
to furnish advance news to the
yellow journals they have been
driven to tho necessity of manufac-
turing their own nous
It is repotted in late dispatches
that 10000 troops have already
been landed in Cuba and moie are
on the way Wo will soon be able
to tell whether Blanco is as good a
fighter as he is a talker
At 1200 oclock Monday morn-
ing May 30 the navy department
received a dispatch from Commo
doie Schley stating positively that
tho Spanish squadron was in the
harbor of Santiago do Cuba
last week over the reports of n
gieat naval battle in tho Ulind
ivml Passage but theio was no
bittle The Windward Passage is
conducive of too much wind
Atropos of tho reports of the
engagements between tho Spanish
troops and the Cuban insurgents
it will be interesting to know how
the Spaniuds will behave under
the fue of American regulars
Tin sanguinary leporta fiom
the Windward PisageJ would al-
most compel us to believe that
enough blood had been shed to
incarnadine tho multitudinous
beas making the green ono red
Tin Hough Riders loft San
Antonio last Sunday for Tampa
Flruidi from whence they will
take passage to Cuba Teddy
Hoosovelt will now havo a chance
to distinguish himbelf and those
who know him best say he is made
of the right stuff
There has been to much Cervera
The Spinish Admiral with ppleu
did coinage and biilliant stiatcgy
has managed to paralyze all our
war operations for weeks Yet he
has a floet that is hopelessly
insignificant as compaied with our
own Now York World
He went to a Richmond Hotel
and modestly called for beefsteak
When it came he tinkered at it for
ten minutes and then he said
Waiter Sail What is
this Beefsteak sah Thank
you Do guests usually try to cut

THE MYSTERY OF QILQAL

At1 last come Colonel Blood of Pike
And old Jedgo Phliiu peimUcus

And each as he meandered In
Rotnarked A whlskev skin
Tom mixed tho bevernge full and far
And slammed It emokluj on the
bar
Soino says tlnee fingers some says
two
Ill leave tho choice to you
Phlnn to tho drink put foi th his hand
Blood d rawed his knife with accent

But Ill dtap a piece of llvoi or two
My bloomin shrub with you
They eaived in a way that all ad-

Till Blood drawed iron at last and
fired
It took Seth Bludso twist the eyes
Which caused him great sui prise
Thon coats went off and all went in
Shots and bad lauguago swelled
the din
The short sharp bark of XJenlngeis
Like bullpups cheered tho furse
They piled the stiffs outside the door
They made 1 reckon ji cprdor
Girls went that winter as a rule
Alone to spellln school
Ivo sarched In vain trom Dan to Beor
Sheba to make this mystery clear
But I end with hit as I did begin
