FRIDAY
APRIL 15, 1S9S
WILL CVBA BE DEFENDED!
As matters stand the question
should read, Can Cuba be defended ?
says the Globe-Democrat. The con
ditions for a vigorous defense arc
uol in sight. Not a single armored
Srjanish ship covers any harbor in
Cuba, while our powerful fleet is but
a few hours distant from Havana.
The harbor of that city is mined and
covered by a few powerful guns.
But the far more numerous of our
ibipe have a gieater range and should
be able to knock the land batteries
to pieces in a day's bombardment.
It has been stated, and probably
witb truth, that the supply of heavy
ammunition in Havana is short. Our
fleet will not lack for this requisite.
Probably Gen. Blanco can mass 20.
000 or 30,000 men in the works
around the city. But he is be
leaguered at the outset, absolutely
cut off from a base. It is not be
lieved that he has supplies to Inst a
iconth. The surrounding country is
desolated aud full of insurgents. The
element of disaffection in the city
Las not be gauged.
At last the noisy jingoes of Ha
vana begin to realize that Spain can
sot risk a ship to defend them, or to
eod them supplies of focd and am
aaonition. Cuba's other ports are at the
mercy of our squadron, except per
haps those at the east end ot the isl
and. Two Spanish armored cruisers
are at Porto Rico. They could
make no stand against our full fleet,
but might attack one or two ships of
tbeir own class if canght isolated.
Spain's main squadron is assembling
at its home ports. It is outnum
bered by our own. "Would the Span
ish ships daie advance, in inferioi
force, across 3000 miles of ocean
without a certain ho vert of their own
fer coaling and repairs r It would
be regarded as an insane act by any
military authority. If the Spanish
ships were beaded for Porto Bico wc
can get there first. Without coal a
modern warship is a mere drifting
bulk at the mercy of an enemy fight
ing at the prints of vantage.
Should the Spanish fleet under
secret orders try to assail any of our
ports we can concentrate against it
by telegraph, and its precious coal
would be going at ever' hour of the
day and night.
Are the representatives of the
American people in congress losing
their senses? The scene enacted in
the house of representatives the
other day, and Turner's unjustifiable
attack upon the president yesterday
in the senate, would indicate an
affirmative answer to the question
noted above. What is needed more
than anything else at the present
time is cool-beaded, conseivative
statesmanship, and less of hot-headed
school-boy exhibitions of temper.
This outbreak in congress will not
go far in elevating that body in the
esteem of the icop!e.
Beat tne Klondike
Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Maryeville.Tex..

than has yet been made in the Klondike.
For years be suffered untold agony from
consumption, accom pained by henimor
rhagee; and was absolutely cured by
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump
tion, Coughs and Colds. He declares
that gold is of little value in comparison
with this marvelous cure; would have it,
even if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle.
Asthma, Bronchitis and ail throat and
lung affections are positively enred by
Dr. King'e New Discovery for Consump
tion. Trial bottles free at Blakeley &
Houghton's drug store. Regular sire

Sheep marking paint ; ready for use.
Two colors, black and red. Why you
shonld use our ebeep paint. First, be
cause the colors are ground, thoroughly
in pure linseed oil by finp machinery ;
second, because it is made of .high grade
color, with the proper amount of dryers
added to give it binding and lasting
qualities, which prevent it from washing
or rubbing off; third, it is much mote
economical , because it is always ready
for use. We guarantee our feheep mark
