It is hardly possible that an ancient
feud between Alger and Merritt is the
cause of the latter’s assignment to the
Philippines. In the first place, the presi-
dent would not permit such a piece of
spite. In the second place, the command
is a difficult one and the order to Gen.
Merritt is a compliment to his military
and executive ability.

Forecast for Texas east of the 100th me-
ridian for the 36 hours ending 8 p. m., May
28, 1898: Fair weather tonight and Satur-
day.
Mr. Holland, the inventor of
marine torpedo boat, asks the
of exploding the mines in the
harbor, so as to let Schley enter, and will
also blow up two or three of Cervera’s
ships if permitted. We protest that he
should only be allowed to explode the
mines. There is not going to be enough
glory in this war to go around anyhow,
and one little submarine boat can’t expect
to hog it all. But if Holland can do
what he proposes the only need of war-
ships hereafter will be to act as escorts,
to his terror.
A trough of low pressure extends south-
westward across the country from the
lakes to west Texas, with two depressions
—one at St. Paul and the other at El Paso.
An area of high pressure is moving in over
the extreme northwest. The weather is
clear over the south Atlantic and east
gulf states and generally partly cloudy to
cloudy elsewhere, with rain falling at
Omaha.
You may have overlooked it in the ex-
citement of the war, but the sanitary in-
spectors are prowling around private
premises and if your house is not in order
it would better be.
Local forecast for Galveston and vicin-
ity for the 36 hours ending 8 p. m„ May 28,
1898: Tonight and Saturday : Partly cloudy
and probably threatening weather; slight
changes in temperature; fresh southerly,
winds. CLINE.

William J. Bryan has posed before a
vitascope camera in the act of receiving
his commission as colonel of volunteers
from the governor of Nebraska. Mr.
Bryan has done a great deal to commend
him to public favor, but his vanity or his
fool friends generally manage to invest
his acts with a cheap theatrical effect
that tends to discount his sincerity.
Mexican dollars are worth more in the
Philippines than United States dollars on
account of Spanish prejudice. This is a
good time for Spain to buy up the dis-
counted American dollars to settle the war
indemnity with. It is good for its face
value at any other counter in the world.

New York, N. Y., May 27.—A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Grave foreign complications may grow
out of the action of the Hawaiian gov-
ernment in allowing the United States to
make Honolulu a- base of supplies and
naval operations in the Pacific.
Your correspondent is informed on the
highest authority that two European gov-
ernments, France and Germany, through
their consuls in Honolulu, have taken ac-
tion which i’s construed to- show their dis-
pleasure at the course of Hawaii. They
have not entered any formal protest, but
have inquired' of the Hawaiian govern-
ment what its attitude would be during
the war.
What reply, if any, the Hawaiian gov-
ernment made to this inquiry is not yet
known in Washington. It is known, how-
ever, that the government of the islands
will not maintain neutrality, but will al-
low the United States to use its territory
and the harbor at Honolulu as freely as
if they were a part of the United States.
By so doing the Hawaiian government
assumes the position of being practically
an ally of the United States and takes
upon itself full responsibility for this at-

New York,, N. Y., May 27.—The Press
says: J. J. Holland, builder of the Hol-
land submarine boat, has gone to Wash-
ington with Col. C. E. Crecy for the pur-
pose of making an offer to the government
which,, if accepted, perhaps will solve the
problem of how to destroy Cervera’s fleet.
Mr. Holland will submit his proposition
to the secretary of the navy at once. He
is willing to undertake to sail his sub-
marine boat into the channel of the nar-
row entrance to Santiago harbor, destroy
the mines planted there and proceed into
the harbor and deal a few blows at C'er-
vera’s vessels.
Mr. Holland declares that his plan to do
this is entirely feasible. The boat is in
shape and ready for the work, and he will
agree, if the secretary of the navy thinks
favoralbly of his proposal, to obtain, a
crew of volunteers for the work.
All that he will ask of the authorities is
transportation for his vessel and men to
Cuba. Once there he agrees to do the
rest. Mr. Holland proposes to take his
boat to Santiago, fitting her out and get-
ting everything in readiness under the
protection of Commodore Schley’s squad-
ron. Then, when the .opportune moment
arrives, probably just at 'dawn, the Hol-
land will start on its mission. Before it
comes within sight of the fortifications
which frown on both sides of the entrance,
it will sink beneath the surface of the
water and steal quietly toward the main
channel. When that is reached it will re-
connoitre to’get the layout of the mine
fields, and then withdrawing to a distance
discharge one or more of its submarine
toirped'oes among the mines.
This is the regular process known as
counter-mining, which is similarly con-
ducted, but Iby a vessel above the water,
which lays along the harbor mines an-
other series, which when exploded opens
up the whole channel. Mr. Holland be-
lieves that by this method the channel
into Santiago could be opened without
great difficulty.
He is prepared, if necessary, after this
task has been accomplished, to proceed
in his oraft underneath the water into the
harbor and attempt to blow up one or
more of Cervera’s battleships If the
navy department has not another plan for
disposing of Cervera Mr. Holland’s scheme
may be considered.

afford to pay the rate demanded. As it
was, the Lafayette took 1200 men, women

she was able to carry. There were thou-

Kansas City’s Public Celebration of the

Kansas City, Mo., May 27.—This is Dew-

a celebration of the victory of Manila
bay. Botlh Kansas Cities joined in making
it the most popular demonstration ever
held here, and crowds from a dozen sur-
rounding Missouri and Kansas towns lent
aid.
The street parade was the feature of
the day. It contained no fewer than 30,006
people. Of this number 10,000 were school
children, who marched eight abreast and
formed a division a mile long, each child
carrying a flag.
A float bearing a model of the battle-
ship Olympia, manned' and complete,
brought forth volleys of hurrahs from
thousands who lined the streets, while an-
other float arranged by Italians of
city representing Weyler crouching
fore Uncle Sam was lustily cheered.

As far as is known he/re the Spanish
consul in Honolulu still maintains his re-
lations with President Dole’s government,
'but when the cruiser Charleston and the
transports bound for Manila take on coal
and provisions at Honolulu he will pro-
test emphatically against it, and upon his
protest being disregarded, will sever his
connections with the government and de-
mand his passports.
President McKinley realizes that if the
Spanish consul should be joined in his
protest by the representatives of other
European governments there would be
great danger of compUcations with those
islands, and foi' that reason the president
its more than ever anxious that congress
should lose no time in formally annexing
the islands to the United States, so as to
give Spain and the other nations of.Eu-
rope no grounds on which to base their
protest.
President McKinley has been urged to
take possession of the islands as a mili-
tary necessity, and if congress was not in
session it is probable he would do so. As
it is, he is reluctant to take any such ac-
tion, however, while congress is in session
and while the question of annexation is
pending in that body.
The military necessity exists, however,
■and the administration will! avail itself of
the privileges granted by the Hawaiian
government to use the islands as a mili-
tary and naval base. There is no escape
from doing so, in fact, and but for the
facilities for coaling and provisioning ves-
sels and the transports at Honolulu the
administration would practically be com-
pelled to 'abandon the Philippines and call
Rear Admiral Dewey home, regardless of
the fact that by so doing it would leave a
condition of affairs in the Orient that
would be practically certain to bring on an
European war. Spain’s power in the Phil-
ippines is broken. Rear Admiral Dewey
and his fleet represent the supreme au-
thority there now. Should they be with-
drawn a condition of affairs would exist
which would lead to the landing of forces
by the warships of European powers.
Clashes of authority would ensue and a
conflict might break out which would in-
volve all Europe.
This being the case, the administration
must reinforce Rear Admiral Dewey, and
in doing so the Hawaiian islands must be
used as a base of supplies.
Some of the president’s military and
naval advisers—among them Lieut. Gen.
John M. Schofield, retired—have urged
that he should go a step farther and
should take a lot of troops to Honolulu on
smaller ships, which could not make the
longer trip between- San Francisco and
Honolulu, but which could be taken from
Honolulu to Manila. This plan would be
adopted without douibt if the islands had
already been annexed and the desirability
of its adoption is being strongly urged
upon congress as an argument for imme-
diate annexation.
Opponents of annexation in congress
have been- able thus far to prevent any
annexation action and they are confident
they would be able to force an aljourn-
ment, leaving the matter still hung up,
although there is a substantial majority
for annexation in each house.
Speaker Reed still persists in his oppo-
sition and will not make any promises as
to when he will alflow t.M resolution to
come up or whether he will allow it to be
considered ait all.
An effort has been made by some of the
senators who are opposed to annexation
to reach an agreement with senators who
favor it by which the war revenue bill
is to reach an early vote on the under-
standing thait the annexation matter is
not to be brought up at this session. They
declare they have succeeded in this and
they will have a majority against consid-
ering the resolution, even if it should be
passed by the house.
Senators Davis and Lodge and other
leading annexationists insist that the
matter shall be brought up and they will
try to make an arrangement with the ma-
jority in the house favoring annexation
whereby the house will refuse to agree to
adjournment until the Hawaiian matter
is disposed of.

Eddie McCullough Again in Jail Charged
With Arson.
Eddie McCullough, the youthful col-
ored firebug, who has already been thor-
oughly introduced to Galveston news-
paper readers, is again in the toils of the
law. He was arrested yesterday by De-
tectives Murphy, Waters and Whittlesey,
charged with having started two recent
fires. One was the Nelson fire last week
or. Market, between. 14th and 15th, and
the other was yesterday on 21st street,
between Mechanic and Strand. True,
very' little damage was done, but the
prompt arrivals of the fire department
alone prevented serious conflagrations.
This morning the boy was taken before
Justice Barry and arraigned on the
charge of arson. He was bound over to
await the action of the grand jury and
in default of bond was sent to jail.
McCullough was before the criminal
district court seme time ago, but the case
was dropped on account of his youth. It
is said the prosecution will be more vigor-
ous this time.
daughters Louisiajs Marguerite and Cle-
mencita to this city, was formerly con-
nected with the City government of Ha-
vana: He said: “When I left Havana it
was said that the’insurgents were only 15
miles from the citV’a'nd at night the lights
of their campfireS'i'dould be seen burning
in the hills. Bet^Sen’ the fear of bom-
bardment by the Whited States warships
and attack by the insurgents the city is
panic stricken and a combined attack is
looked for every florir. Food is very
scarce and fresh meat can scarcely be
bought at any pride! The blockade is felt
more by the poore^'clhsses, and as they
are the only ones3 -who have been most
loyal to Spain the1 suffering among them
is the worst.” -ZU. ?
Mr. Otero wouIeP'say little about the
Spanish troops in Cuba under Gen.
Blanco, but from other passengers it was
learned that the army is almost as badly
demoralized and panic stricken as the
civilians. Ammunition is scarce and
many of the troops are clothed in rags
and without shoes. Rations are being
doled out to them sparingly, but the sol-
diers watch carefully all places where
provisions are known to be stored and
the authorities will not allow private
families to purchase supplies for
than one day at a time.
Senor de la Ferte is a Cuban of French
descent who owns a large plantation
near Havana. He said he had brought his
family here for safety until the war is
over, but at the outbreak of the rebellion
Eduardo Garcia, the manager of the plan-
tation, had raised a regiment of 1200 men
from his and neighboring plantations and
then joined the insurgents.
“When the Spanish soldiers heard of it,”
said Senor de la Ferte, “they inarched
upon my plantation, burning and destroy-
ing everything above ground. We only
got away with our lives.”
Senor de la Ferte said he did not think
it was true that the steamer Lafayette
had unloaded any arms and ammunition
at Havana or that some of her passen-
gers were French gunners. He said that
the forts around Havana will be able to
make but a poor reply to a bombardment.
Although some of the guns are modern
and in good condition, the supply of pow-
der and projectiles is short.
All the refugees were met at the Ward
line pier by Cuban friends living in this
city and given a joyous welcome.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—When I wrote
to you I'had not been well for five years;
had doctored all the time but got no
better. I had womb trouble very bad.
My womb pressed backward, causing
piles. I was in such misery I could
scarcely walk across the floor. Men-
struation was irregular and too pro-
fuse, was also
troubled with
leucorrhcea. I
had given up all
hopes of getting
well; everybody
thought I had
consumption.
After taking
** five bottles of
Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegeta-
ble Compound,
A I felt very much better
and was able to do nearly all my own
work. I continued the use of your medi-
cine, and feel that I owe my recovery to
you. I cannot thank you enough foryour
advice and your wonderful medicine.
Any one doubting my statement may
write to me and I will gladly answer
all inquiries.—Mrs. Nell Hurst, Deep-
water, Mo.
Letters like the foregoing, con-
stantly being received, contribute not
a little to the satisfaction felt by Mrs.
Pinkham that her medicine and counsel
are assisting women to bear their heavy
burdens.
Mrs. Pinkham’s address is Lynn, Mass.
All suffering women are invited to
write to her for advice, which will be
given without charge. It is an ex-
perienced woman’s advice to women.

SH'ABUOTH, 5658.
Celebration of the Jewish Pentecost and
Confiirmation of Children.
Shabuoth, the Feast of Weeks, Pente-
cost, a feast of joy and recreation, was
celebrated yesterday evening and this
mornilng ait Temple B’naii Israel. The
synagogue was tastefully decorated with
palms, ferns and festoons of evergreens,
interspersed wiith fragrant flowers. Rev.
Dr. Henry Cohen- delivered yesterday
evening a touching sermon and selected
as Ms text the ten commandlmants.
This morning the temple was crowded
with the relatives and friend's- of the con-
firmants, and the girls were neatly dressed
■in pure white, the boys ini black. The
altar was occupied- by Rev. Dr. Cohen,
President Leo N. Levi, Vice President M.
Schram and M. Mansberg. After an ex-
cellent overture on the organ .and choral
by the choir, the conflrmants Jakle Levy
and Alphonse Block read .the morning
service in Hebajew1 in, a clear and' im-
pressive voice. The opening prayer was
said by Esther Katz, the prayer for coun-
try .by Beatrice' Levy and the parents’
prayer by Floririe N. Lasker. The Jewish
declaration, of principle was rendered by
(Max Maas, jr., prayer for the congrega-
tion by Henrietta L. Blum, flower prayer
by Rosetta Miller and closing prayer by
Sadie Baer. The children acquitted them-
selves beautifully, fully understanding the
religious act in confirmation of their faith
as Israelites;
Dr. Cohen delivered an impressive ad-
dress to the children.
The residences of the Israelites will be
open this evening for
friends, and joy will abound at
hearth.

New York, N. Y,, May 27.—The Press
says: Among the 27 passengers which the
British steamship Arcea, chartered by
the Ward line, bi ought here from Mexican
ports were three families of refugees from
Havana. With many others they escaped
from Havana to Vera Cruz on the French
steamer Lafayette. The refugees are Jose
Otero, his wife and five children, Alfredo
de la Ferte, wife and two children and
Mrs. F. C. de Miranda.
They say that the Lafayette tried to
purchase coal, but Gen. Blanco would
allow none to be sold. The limited supply
now there is being guarded jealously and
at night the city is in complete darkness.
The electric plant has been shut down,
all factories where coal is used as fuel
are stopped and the gas and watervzorks
are forced to get along with as little coal
For this reason water is
with only a scanty ^allowance of food for
each passenger. Nearly all the pasengers
were wealthy Spanish merchants in Ha-
vana and other Cuban cities.
Jose Otero, who1'- brought his wife and
mencita to this felty, was formerly
San Francisco, Cali., May 27.—The in-
ternal collectors of the First and Fourth
California districts have just made public
figures showing the production of sweet
wines during the season which began last
August and expired on May 1. After the
latter date the fortification of such wines
with brandy is not permitted without the
payment of an internal revenue tax of
$1.01 on each gallon.
The production of sweet wines during
the season was about 7,000,000 gallons.
When the sweet wine, law first went into
effect in 1893 the production did not ex-
ceed 3,000,000 gallons. All of last season’s
product has been sold.

NO PEACE PROPOSED.
A BEAUTIFUL LIFE.
The Galveston Tribune publishes a com-
plete report of the cotton market in each
issue, Which reaches all important points
Within 250 miles of Galveston the follow-
ing morning in ample time for operations
in the early markets.
Every city in the north and cast is
profitting by furnishing war supplies.
Galveston is denied this opportunity by
reason of her location. But we are cer-
tainly no worse off than, we were in peace.
The only injury has been the suspension
of coastwise steamship traffic and the
consequent loss to local labor. On the
other hand, local labor has received con-
siderable assistance from the fortifica-
itons still under way, and many idle men
have joined the regiment of immunes.
The situation at least is a stand-off and
there is absolutely no reason for local
complaint. The summer is always dull,
but this one is no more dull than the
average and it will be relieved very early
by the grain movement which is bound
to be the biggest in the history of the
port.
The Galveston-Dallas News has suffered
a loss, which is common to all the pro-
fession, in the death of its diligent and
distinguished New York financial corre-
spondent, Mr. F. A. Abbot, who was
blessed with singular talents and virtues.
Mr. Abbott’s “New York Special” has
been a regular and trustworthy feature
Of the News for many years. The public
long ago came to depend upon it, but few
knew or considered the faithful worker
who furnished it, and fewrer still were
aware that he was a man of grand intel-
lectual and moral proportions, a man who
. served his God as earnestly as he served
his vocation, and who for more than a
Quarter of a century had maintained from
his own earnings a chapel in memory of
his mother, where the gospel was
preached literally without price.
The life of Mr. Abbott was an exam-
ple of great value to other newspaper
men, as well as to men in general, whose
ambitions are apt to be tempted by the
freaks of latter day sensationalists, who
mistake passing notoriety for fame and
Who utterly miss the substantial and en-
during rewards of patience and perse-
yerence.
Like John E. Thornton, who recently
passed from the News, F. A. Abbott was
a hero and a giant, grown grey in one
service, honored of all men who were for-
tunate enough to know him and brighten-
ing and blessing all with which he came
in contact.
In this connection every man who has
Served the News and everyone who has
The Houston Post today has a flaring
item relating that the president some
days ago proposed, through our ambas-
sador at Paris, to end the war if Spain
.would surrender Cuba and that Spain
declined. The report, construes the delay
in the Philippine expedition and in the
embarkation of troops for Cuba as cir-
cumstantial evidence that the president
.was holding back awaiting Spain’s re-
sponse.
This is of a kind with other inane
and idiotic criticisms of army and navy
movements. Every well informed person
knows that the Philippine expedition has
been delayed by the lack of supplies and
transports. These pestiferous critics are
not aware how ridiculous they make
themselves. The details of mobilizing and
equipping troops are such that an earlier
departure was absolutely impossible.
The embarkation of troops for Cuba was
merely postponed upon the appearance of
Cervera’s fleet in West Indian waters.
Now that it has been located and suffi-
ciently blockaded the army movement can
proceed as rapidly as circumstances will
permit, and troops will no doubt be sent
to Cuba at once if it is not deemed wiser,
as has been hinted, to first seize Porto
Rico.
No, indeed, Spain has not yet had a
chance to treat on peace terms. Nor will
she have, even upon her own overtures,
until the task of Cuban liberation >s com-
pletely accomplished. However the presi-
dent might be inclined, neither congress
nor the people would tolerate any other
policy, and the president knows this per-
fectly well.
