Flags f Oar Xerekaat Maria Will Follew Tkose et Our WarsMa. Looking to the future, there is little risk in predicting that when our war . with Spain shall have passed into the realm of history it will be found that we are only standing on the threshold of a new and better era in our political and commercial development. The assump tion of our proper place among the great powers of the world will take away the taint of provincialism from our politics and will prove a sovereign cure for the o mentaTand moral hypochondria which is one of the weaknesses of the national character. The freedom of Cuba will be a glori ous object lesson to other downtrodden millions of men, and the wonderful is land that is soon to echo to the tread of American armies will afterward present one of the fairest of all possible fields to American merchants. In a few years o we may expect to have always ready a fleet and an army with which to hold our own against all comers. We shall win our self respect by making other nations respect us, and we may be sure that the flags of our merchant marine will follow the flags of our battleships to the uttermost ends of the earth. o New Orleans Times-Democrat. SPANISH BLUFF CALLED. The Nary Department Decides On a Bold Stroke. WATS01 TO TAKE OABE OF SPAIN. A American Eastern Sqnadrea Formed to AttaeV the 6eaport Towm 1 Spala. Fleet btoM Dbpatehed at Oace From qeatlaa-o and Crasklax Blow Will Be Dealt the Boas Immediately. Washixotox, June 29. The adminis ffatlon yesterday finally came to a do oision to send an American squadrou to ' the Spanish coast and into the Mediter ranean. Several times since the war Igoke out rumors to this effect have been circulated but the project had not ma turedit required the Spanish move ment toward the Philippines byCama rat squadron to decide the navy depart ment to adopt this bold stroke. The first announcement yesterday by bulletin posted at the navy department of the gov ernment's intention was received with 3 Incredulity. There was a suspicion that the story was being floated to deceive the Spanish Sveninient, .however, when later in the y the detail of tho vessels selected to constitute Commodore Watson's eastern squadron was announced and orders given to .provision the fleet for four aaonths it became apparent to the last doubter that the government was in earnest in this intention. To Check CadU Fleet. The vessels selected as colliers have started already on their way to New port News to take on a large supply of. coal. It will require about a week to get this down to Sampson's fleet, so if the start is to be made from that point, it will be impossible for Commodore Watson to get away before the Fourth 6t July. This would seem to be an aus picious date for the beginning of what will be the first fleet started from the ( new world to attack continental Europe. No attempt is made to deny that the government is influenced by a desire to check the progress eastward of the Cadiz fleet. It was not believed that the Spanish admiral could be guilty of hcovering his own home ports in this fashion, but inasmuch as he seems de termined to do no, the naval strategists could not do less than take advantage of the .jrtunity afforded to strike a crushing blow at Spain and thereby, perhaps, save much time and loss of life and money in thv. conduct of the tedious campaign iu Cuba. The determination to send this squad ron against Spain was the outcome of direct official advices reaching the state and navy departments as to the progress of Admiral Camara's squadron. These advices give tho list of the Spanish hips now nearing the Suez i, which differs somewhat from the list given in the press dispatches and by Lloyds. Official Utt or Fleet. The official list is: Pelayo, Carlos V, Aodaz, Osada, Proserpina, Patriota, Bapido, Buenos Ayres, Isla de Paney, Colon, Covandonga and San Francisco. The additional information comes from official sources that this squadrou is at P.ort Said and expects to take on board 10,000 tons of coal before entering the Suez canal Such a heavy coaling will take some time. It discloses also that the admiral expects to make a long sail aadisdoabtlesshejaded for the Philip pines, a point -where the officials here dombted at first. The squadron is the most formidable in total tonnage, strength of individual ships, armor and guns. The main reliance of the fleet is in the Pelayo, the Carlos V. and the two sew torpedo boat destroyers, Aadax and Osada. The others are auxiliaries and cruisers. As there are only two armored ships in the lot Admiral Dewey's fleet of pro tected tout anarmored ships probably will take care of this Spanish squadron. With the Monterey added he could cer tainly do so. OatraakB Speahh Sotwdrea. The eastern squadron, which the United States will send against 'Spain far outranks this Spanish squadron, the Iowa and Oregon exceeding the Pelayo and Carlos V. at every point, while the other vessels are far superior ship for ship to those of the Spanish squadron, Kith the single exception of the two Spajaish torpedo boat destroyers. When the American fleet sails for Spain it will take with it complete iu formation as to the entire stretch of SpanUh rat, with detail maps of every harbor and its for tifications.

THIRD FLEET SAILS FOR MANILA. lew Tfcoaaaad Xea Leave San FraacUco Uader Oeaeral McArthnr. Sax FkaXCISCO, June 28. Another fleet of transports has sailed out through the Golden Gate. Yesterday afternoon the third fleet of vessels loaded with soldiers and supplies for the Philippines hoisted anchor and amid the screaming of a hundred whistles and the clanging of bells and the booming of cannon pro ceeded dewn the bay toward the ocean and by night were well on their way to the Philippines. About 4,000 men left under command of General MoArthur, who has made the Indiana his flagsbip. The City cf Para, Ohio and Morgan City were tha other vessels to sail with the Indiana. The staeaaer Valencia will probably sail With the Newport on Wednesday. Gen eral Merritt and his staff will proceed to the islands in the Newport, which luis been especially prepared for the service.

Oeaeral Shatter Espectn to Invest the Town Wednesday. BaIQCIRI, June 28. The Third and Ninth cavalry only remain here, guard ing the material ashore. All the other regiments are being pushed as rapidly as possible towards Santiago de Cuba. Active operations before that place are officially expected to begin on Wednes day next. Interruption of communica tion between the army and the fleet by storm is possible at any time. Juragna and Baiquiri are both open roads, with no protection. General Shafter ex presses satisfaction with the work of the officers who had cliarge of the land ing of the troops in an enemy's country and under conditions never before faced by an array, considering the character of the landing places and the adjacent country. The American troops were within 200 yards of the Spanish entrenchments last night. In the daytime the city of Santiago is in plain view. Four bat teries of American artillery and a Gat ling gun have been placed on a hill over looking the basin in which Santiago de Cuba lies. All the hills about Santiago are cov ered with block houses. There are 31 lines of entrenchments and behind them are four lines of rifle pits, while the fronts are protected by rows of barbed wire. It is believed that more artil lery will be necessary before an assault can be made upon the Spanish works. General Calixto Garcia -with 3,000 Cuban insurgents from the mountains west of Santiago deCuba, was landed at Juragua last night. Iowa Batteries Heady. Des Moikes, June 28.

American Official at Cavlte Writes That If Great BIooiNhetl aud Destruction Come to Meuila S: i-nOIay Justly Blame the Germans Insurgents Have Five Thousand Prisoners. Manila, June 22 (via Hong Kong, June 28. The Spaniards claim to lure driven the rebels back, but really the po sition is unchanged. The arrival of the American troops Ls awaited and they are expected today. The Spanish out posts have prepared to retire promptly to the walled citadel and will probably make only a nominal resistance. A sec tion of the insurgents dislike the Amer icans and deidru German protection. Five German warships are here. Tho Spaniards continue their nightly f usil ade but the volunteers decline to to the trenches, while many of the regu lars are idling about the town. Thousands of trees in the vicinity of the citadel liave been cut down, but tho botanical gardens are unharmed. Hong Kong, June 23. General Agui naldo, according to letters brought here from Cavits by a German steamer, oc cupies the mansion of the late governor of Cavite, but he will shortly move to Imus to make room for the Americans. The insurgents have 5,000 prisoners. Ouo hundred and twenty-seven Spanish prisoners have sent a flag of truce by Admiral Dewey. The Spanish ofiicers with one exception are at Cavite. Span ish Brigadier Movet was killed at San Fernando iu an attempt to force the rebel lines. An American official at Cavite writes: "If great bloodshed and destruction come to Muuila Spain may jnstlv blame the Germuns. Manila would have surrendered before the ar rival of the German squadron without bloodshed, but now ow"ig to the moral support of its presence, the city refuses to surrender." Two thousand Spaniards are working on the sandbag defenses outside the moat on the Calie de Lasaguadas. The insurgents are worrying the Spaniards, but there is no advance, although de sultory firing goes on at various points. The insurgents are firing explosive shells at Santa Ana churches. On June 20, Ascension day, the for eign warships sainted the Spanish col ors. It was believed that the bombard ment had begun but the panic was soon quelled. A French warship left the harbor after saluting the Spanish flag. The shore batteries answered and this gave rise to a false alarm of the arrival of the American troops. The Spaniards believe that Great Britain intends some sort of action. It is reported that they will burn all the houses at Malate to clear the ground for defence. Another German Ship at Manila. Hong Kong, via Paris, June 28. The cruiser Princess Wilhelmina left Nagas aki for Manila on June 15. This makes the fifth German warship in Manila bay.

How They Kept Boose and Got Their Provisions. My favorite boarders iu the oak were tbe gray squirrels. The boys knew their hole from tbe woodpeckers' at a glance, for it was in the living trunk of the tree, and the red brown margin always showed where their powerful teetb bad been cutting away tbe bark that threat ened to grow iu and close them up. I have oftened wondered how the wood peckers knew that it would imprison them, and that they must put up with the dead limb. As for the grays, they were not afraid to live in the heart of the oak, and what stores of nuts, harvested iu tbe hickories on the hill, they did manage to "tote" sp there. There mnst have been a peck St least when I ruthlessly chopped into tbe hollow with a sharp hatchet and captured a fine brood of young ones that were scon tamed into graceful and af fectionate pets. The old father and mot.ievwddid not want, even if wo could have caught them, because they are fierce and uu tamable in captivity. Tbe abduction of their pretty chil dren did not eeeni to weigh much on their minds They gave no sign of the poignant grief, not to be comforted, that I have seen, for instance, in ' blue birds whooe nest had been despoiled, but refitted their den as snugly as he fore and raised another family. When my squirrels went harvesting, one of them first hold his head iu the mouth of tl.u hole for half a minute to see if the coast was clear. Presently out he whisked aud stopped again to make sure, while his mate followed.

' These are the horse chestnuts. .There are 17,000 of them planted in the squares and' along tbe boulevards, and. 20,000 buttonwoods. The trees in Paris are numbered, just like the people, the cabs, the animals, the lampposts and tbe matches. These horse chestnuts have only been doing this trick for about five years, and only some uf them have made a practice of it. These die, or apparently die, in tbe latter part of July, and all the leaves 'fall off. A mcuth or eo afterward they all come out into flower again and little green leaves shoot forth continually un til they are nipped by the first frost There is a reason for this, and the sci entists worked over tho matter for a long time to be able to explain it. Briefly and unscientifically the trees lose their leaves because they are at tacked by a little fungus which is blown upon them by tbe wind; then, being still full of sap, they start to put forth leaves all over again.
