SCRANTON, MAY 4, 1808. A Fine Body of Soldiers. General Boynton declares that the United States troops now in camp at Chickamauga are the finest body of men he has ever seen. No one will feel inclined to regard this statement as an exaggeration. The regular army of the United States is small, but what there is of it is composed of first class material.

The men are selected with the utmost care, are young, strong and capable of great endurance. Furthermore they are thoroughly trained and disciplined and would prove almost invincible. General Boynton's praise of the troops at 'Chickamauga is therefore not undeserved. They are undoubtedly as fine a body of men as he or any other general ever set eyes upon, and it would be a grand thing for the country if there were more of them at this time. But there is one satisfaction, and that is found in the fact that Uncle Sam has the material out of which to organize an army million strong, if it shall be necessary, that will be composed of just as good war material as is the army at Chickamauga.

But it cannot be done in a day or a week. It takes time to make first-class soldiers out of raw recruits but with plenty of good ofcers to drill them ther is no reason why in a few months an American army as fine as any that ever trod the earth could not be organized were it needed. Popular sympathy in Canada as well as in Mexico and Central America is with the United States in its war with Spain. That is because the people of those countries recognize that a war in behalf of suffering Cuba is righteous and humane. The Law of Blockade 'T'he essential features of the law regulating a blockade are set forth the following brief but comprehensive digest: A biockade must be proclaimed 'SO that ships of all nationalities may be notified of its existence.

42, Ships already at sea when proclamation is made, must, upon arrest, be notified and permitted to depart for some other than the blockaded port. Until such notice the ship is not liable to capture. Ships so notified, and all ships sailing after proclamation of blockade has been made, are liable to capture upon attempting to pass the blockade. "4. In case of capture, they and their cargoes are confiscate, but neither their officers nor seamen.

if the ship carries a neutral flag, are subject any other penalty. They are guilty of no crime. 5. No neutral nation is bound respect any blockade till it has been made effective. If it is trot 50.

neutrals resent and resist the seizure of their ships attempting to trade with 'paper' blockaded ports. Ships of the enemy are subject to capture anywhere at sea, without reference to the ports from or to which they are going. Neutral ships are subject to capture, only when trying break the blockade. There is no reason to expect otherwise than that Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt's regiment of cow boy troopers will distinguish themselves if they ever get chance to into the Spaniards. Timid Americans.

Most of them from eastern states, several from and Boston. They expect to ronto other parts of Ontario during the war. The expectation people is that Boston ed." The foregoing statement true.

However, by the hardest and quickest work possible the crash was barely averted.

It was an exceedingly narrow escape for the two vessels, both of which would now probably be resting beneath the waves. had they actually collided. How such ships will behave themselves in battle is a question that the naval authorities of the world are greatly interested in and which Spain and the United States seem destined to answer. Railroad Mileage of the World. A recently compiled census of the railways of the world shows that in Europe the miles operated has risen in four years from 141,552 to in Asia from 22,025 to in Africa from 6,522 to in America from 212,724 to 229,722, and in Australia from 12,322 to 13,888, making a total for the world of 433,953, against 143 four years ago.

According to these statistics the greatest, proportionate advance took Africa that, continent's gain being over per cent. against 9 per cent. in Europe, 22 per cent. in Asia, per cent in America, cent. in Australia, and nearly 10 per cent.

for the entire world. The per length of the world's railways In 1805 of 433,953 miles, is more than 17 times the circumference of the earth at the equator. The census confirms what was previously asserted, that the North American continent has a greater mileage of railways than all the rest of the world. Notwithstanding that by con mon consent Cuba is the richest, fairest island of the sea, the population has never reached 3,000,000 in all the centuries that Spain has exercised sovereignty over the country. And yet the soil is productive, the mineral deposits great, and the opportunities for business, commercial and industrial enterprise, unsurpassed.

It is impossible that under the government of a decent and honorable nation Cuba could have remained in the ha.fpopulated condition that has existed in the most prosperous days of the island. Capable of sustaining a population of at least 12,000,000, and affording a commerce of surpassing richness in mineral and tropical and semi-tropical products, only about one-tenth of the island is under cultivation. That this is so, that this richest gem on Your planet remains today with much of its surface unreclaimed from a state frature, is due to the barbarous tyrany of Spain, reasoning Intelligence cannot doubt. With the finest harbor on the globe, with a soil quick to respond to the touch of industry, and with millions anxious to join a rich commerce in exchange for her products. Cuba free from the withof ering curse Spanish domination must soon exert a great influence on the trade the world.

Riches of Nicaragua That Nicaragua country rich in a undeveloped natural resources has long been known, but comparatively few are really cognizant of the fact. Particular attention is called to it now, however. by an American who recently returned from that country. He declares Nicaragua contains "enough rich natu ral resources make mill many states, Especially, true of the eastern of the coun- which for the most part unset- fact the tled. returned traveler 85- serts that "fully four -fifths Nica- vet unexplored, owing There Liense deposits of minerals no than 425 known silver and gold mines.

a Lind kea Alvem DEWEY'S ULTIMATUM (Continued from Page 1.) mitted on all sides that the Spanish fleet had been completely destroyed, and that it was probably only question of hours when the Americans would occupy Manila. The fact that the Liberal, which is Premier Sagasta's organ, admitted the defat, gives additional significance to the announcement. At the termination of a cabinet council, just held, the Minister of Marine, Admiral Bermejo, declined to furnish any further information for publication, but he said that the first account sent out by the Governor-General of the Philippine Islands was completely borne out by later despatches, adding that the last shot was fired at 11:30, when, he asserted the American war steamed away. The newspapers express determination to avenge the defat of the Spaniards. The conduct of the Spanish admiral in sinking the remnant of his fleet In order to prevent its capture is highly extolled.

The Imparcial advises the government to arm all the available shipping, and convert the vessels into an auxiliary fleet for the purpose of capturing and destroying American merchant vessels. The authorities here have adopted the most extreme military precautions to chick the increasing public indignation. Martial law will be proclaimed if the government is "provoked over hostile demonstrations" in the streets. The feeling of discont nt is profound everywhere. The military feel equally with the civil elements the effects of the digaster, in which, according to one announcement, "our inferior war-craft, although they fought pluckily, perished through lack of foresight in responsible The general tone of the newspapers, even in the case of the ministerial press is calm.

Senor Romero Robledo, the Conservative leader and x-Minister of Justice, is expected to inaugurate a sensational debate in the Chamber to -morrow in which he will 1 backed by the Carlists and Republicans. Gen. Weyler, whose popularity is increasing, will also provoke a debate in the Senate. The Spanish cabinet, occording to special despatch from Madrid to the Evening News, sat for four hours and only discussed the Manila disaster. The discussion showed that the Spanish ministers "are now fully aroused, and determined to exhaust their resourses in defence of national honor." The newspapers of this city, commenting upon the utter defeat of the Spanish fleet at Manila, agree in saying that vesterday WaS "sad but glorious day for They urge the people to be calm and to allow nothing 10 shake their contidence in future triumphs of the Spanish arms.

LONDON. May 2. A despatch to the Daily Mail received from Madrid this morning, Americans are nOW moving all Manila, but there has been no capitulation yet. General Augusti will probably defend the plaza of Manila. "The Spanish ministers admit that the battle ended in the utter rout of the Spanish fleet, but they are resolved not to spare ally efforts in the defense of the country.

The Spanish warships Reina Maria Cristina and Castilla have been totally burned. One vessel was purposely sunk, and the rest were damaged. American fleet is believed to be much damag FROM WASHINGTON No News Has Been Received Direct From Commodore Dewey. WASHINGTON, May a curious fact that the nation most d. rectly interested of all the great powers in the combat that took place at Mania yesterday should among the last oilicially to know Up of the result.

to of office today close hours absolutely the only information that government had of the brilliant vietory of Commodore Dewey and the winning of the battle off Manila May came to the government through medium of pless dispatches, 18 begun and that Manila, unlikely spare vessel fleet to the news Hong Kong, near- CABLE MAY surrender the control of acquire the put might ly that the government will retain possession of at least one good port, such as Manila, for a coaling station and base of supplies during the remainder of the war. There was understood to be a considerable, Spanish force in of the natives Philip- are pines, and a large number said to be "loyal," meaning in a sense attached to the Spanish fortunes. With this material on the one hand and the insurgents on the other, the latter stimulated by the overthrow of the Spaniards at Manila, it is probable that civil war may rage on the islands for some time outside of Manila proper. It is belleved the officials have not decided what to do with the islands at the end of the war, but in their possession the United States will enjoy a powerful weapon in terms of peace with Spain. Supposing Porto Rico shall next re seized, it would seem that Spain will have little to encourage her in further resistance, particularly as the fall of Porto Rico would mean the loss to her of her ironclad fleet should it cross the Atlantic.

NO TALK OF INTERVENTION. There is no talk of European intervention as yet, but one of the most heneficial results of Dewey's victory yesterday is that a deep impression has been made upon the European powers who can now no longer afford to blind themselves to the fact that man to man the American navy is equal to any in the world. There was no exhibition, such as was sneeringly predicted in the European press, of weakness in the American fleet caused by the fact that it was of heterogenous composition. It is safe to say that after the battle at Manila the European powers will conclude that the American flag always floats over the American crew, regardless of the nativity or racial descent of the men who fired the guns. 'The impression produced is likely to deter the European powers from hasty intervention, and the present indications are that we shall be left to settle our own affairs with Spain at our own pleasure, always providing we do not get involved in the eastern question through obtaining possession of the Philippines.

It is entirely possible that Commodore Dewey may secure his promotion to the rank of admiral through the splendid exhibition of piuck, discretion and sailor qualities he made in yesterday's engagement. The naval law, however, does not permit of promotion, except by seniority, so it would probably be requisite for congress to pass a special resolution such as was done in the case of Commodore Melville to afford him his well earned A promotion. MUSTERING THE VOLUNTEERS The war department bending all energies to the mustering in of volunteers, and the recruiting of the regular army to its full war strength of 61.009 men. In a few days all the troops that have been ordered to Tampa are expected to reach that place, and the eight large transports which are to conduct the first expedition to Cuba have been ordered to proceed to Cuba. The 0 officials, however, declin: to make public any information regarding the expedition 'or the place in Cuba where it is to land.

She was converted from sin to Christ in early life, joined the Presbyterian branch of the Lord's army, and, with that company, marched and fought in the battle of life till the time came for her discharge. Though for several months she was in great suffering, she endured pain with much patience and Christian fortitude; and as little by little disease wore out the naturally strong and vigorous frame she yielded gracefully, looking hopefully, trustfully into the future, and often expressed a desire to depart and be with the Lord. The funeral was held at the Baptist church on Sunday, April 24, Rev. G.

I am thinking of home, of my Father's house, Where the many bright mansions be. Of that city whose streets are all covered with gold, And the jasper walls pure and fair to behold, Which the righteous alone ever see. Chorus: Oh, home, sweet home: I am thinking and longing for home.

Beyond the pearly gates many a mansion waits For the weary ones who journey home. I am thinking of home, of my loved ones there, Dearest friends who have gone before. With whom we meet down the dark river side And so sadly thought as we watched by the side Of the thrice happy morning of yore. I am thinking of home; I am homesick now. And my spirit doth long to be in that far better land, Where the saints ever sing Of the love of Christ, their Redeemer and King, And of mercy so costly and free.

I am thinking of home; yes, of home, sweet home; May we all in unite With the white -covered throng and exultingly raise To the triune, God's sweetest anthem: of praise, Singing glory and honor and might.
