Infantry nnd the First Cavalry are sta
tioned, tins been a state of the utmost
activity. Soldiers have been polishing
their weapons, arranging mese kits,
grooming horses and preparing general
y to march at a' momenta notice. Colo
nel Kobert H. Hall in command of the

anion: many messages which caused

A "Srvi BpauUk l'lot.
London, Feb. 10. There is a curious
discussion in the Spanish press as to the
possibility of confederating the Latin re
publics of South America with Spain
against the United States. 1 Pais con
tends that the Spanish republics are
weak through isolation, and that if
united in a military and diplomatic al
liance, they would bo the first power in
tbe world in territory, the second in
population, und their armies and navies
would have sufficient power to 'insure
reepect.
The papers point out thut the jealous
iee of tlte republics prevent them from
taking the initiative, hut Spain,' it is
claimed, ought to urge her diplomats to
approach the republics with the view of
couihiuliig for the deiensu of Lutin in
terests, endangered by the intrusion of
the Anglo-SaxonB.
El 1'hIh thinks Spain's advice would
not he dim-garded if she warned Latin
America against the United States, ad
ding: "For it is well known that the greedy
Yankees, once the Panama canal is
opened to the world's commerce, will do
all which their perfidity can suggest to
wrest it from the Latin countries of
Central America, even as England did
the Sue, canal. Tending in this direc
tion is the denim of the Americans to se
cure Culm."
In conclusion El Pais says:
"The advances of the United States in
the sea of the Antilles are preliminary
'epa in the blockade und occupation of
tliecaiml."
Inferring to the Latin American coun
t'ies, the Spuctator, in a long article,
points out that there is no doubt of the
Miatenceofan underetauding between
I'rance und Spain, which litis lately been
trerigti)(!m.(iiandBayB.

could only be accounted for by the fact
that Spain knew she could appeal to a
power which could not neglect her de
mands for help."
The Sunday review expresses the br
lief that France allowed the United
States to understand, indirectly, that
considerations of importance to her
-..-1.1 . -11 I r . i
huuiu nut unuw iiur u see spam treated u
in an unfriendly manner, and that a
Spanish appeal to France must result in
the hitter's Intervention. The Saturday
review believes tbot this Recounts for
the "way the United States Ehrank from
netting in practice the treatment ot
Spain suggested in the original protests
of the Washington government." The
Spectator uuderstnnds that if France
had not helped Spain, the latter would
have applied for assistance to the drei-
bund, with almost a certainty of suc
cess.

New Out.iiA.vs, Feb. 19. A severe
etorm of lightning and wind struck New
Orleans today. The gule was so heavy
that the rear of tiie city sheds were
knocked down, chimneys toppled over,
trees uprooted and fences laid low. One
man was seriousty injured by lightning.

Scovel Say tlin Forward Magaxlne 1
Still In Tact.
New York, Feb. 19. A copywright
cablegram to the Evening World from
SylvesterScovel under date of today, from
Havana, says:
"The consensus of opinion of those
who have studied the wreck closely is
now that tiie wreck was caused by a sub
marine mine. The forward magazine,
it is now generally supposed, is in tact,
also the forward six-inch magazines.
This leaves only a few saluting charges
and a few smull-caliber shells in the
pilot-house which could possibly have
exploded aboard the ship. At the same
time, the fearful damage is too great for
anytiiing but an extremely large torpe
do. If it were true, the divers will find
the torpedo, fragments, but if it was a
submarine mine, no trace will be found.
All of the Amerioan officererare internal
ly doubting. There is no one of them,
from Captain Sigsbee down, who is not
fairly convinced a submarine mine did
it. The Spanish dailies are loudly clam
oring "accident, accident" when even
now the fact is known that the entire
middle deck, which was blown straight
up, never had an ounce of ship's powder
under it, and that was where the first
flame was seen."
How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver be inactive, you have a biliouBlook;
if your kidneys be effected, you have a
pinched look. Secuie good health and
vyi will surely have good looks. "Elec
tric Hitters" is a good Alternative and
Tunic. Acts directly on the stomach
liver and kidneys. Purifies the blood,
cures pimpies, blotches and boils, and
gives u good complexion. Every bottle
guaranteed. Sold at Ulakeley & Hough
