Tnn armies of the united nation are
now being concentrated in the south,
on the same ground where the hostile
. armies of a divided nation fought the
greatest war known to the history of
' the world. The enormous strength of
such a combined fighting torce, in the
light of what was done when it was
divided, is hard to estimate, but it is
r sufficient if brought to the test to shake
the foundation of every national power
j- on erfrth.
r
Ax eastern paper was somewhat sur
prifed at tho patriotism t-hown by the
west in the recent offeis by the govern
orsof the western states to furnish vol
unteer troop". The paper seemed to
think that becue the west was united
against the money shaiksof the cut
that they would fail to suppoit the tov
eminent. The west today contains
more pattintic citirens who are willing
to vo the front in prnport'on to its pop
ulation than doos the wet.
A wibk Ppiinish joutli, when called
"' upon by his fxther to chpo-e a profes-
1 sion, said : "I decline to be a professor
and go hungry; to be a statesman
and become a target forass.tssins; to be
a ptiect nud Uveas a piisoner; to be n
; sohlier and perish in Cuba or tho
' Fhilliiipines. I would prefer to be a
'- titled and honored lord, to whom gold
flies, and to whom Spain given glory in
lifo, and fatno after death in a word I
would become a bull fighter."

Oampaon's tlcet is blockading Havana,
and that ii Tvht it is thers for.
THE MAINE AS AN ISSUE.
The destruction of the Maine in Ha
vana harbor, is rapidly coming to the
fore as tho casus belli 'between the
United States and Spam. There has
been complaint that President McKin
ley has been disposed to relegate the
loss of our ship and our men to a second
place in tho pending controversy. But
nothing of the kind has been done or
attempted. A correspondent of the New
York Tribune thus points out the status
of the Maine question in connection
with the president's attitude:
'In treating tho Mino disaster as
evidence of lack of control justifying
intervention rathor than a3 a primus
casus belli, the president has placed
any action which may be taken above
and beyond all criticism by foreign
powers, anil prevented any false sym
pathy for Spain by her offer to arbitrate
the question of fact and amount and to
abide by tho award. Doubtless Spain
would have address d such a note to
all the towers, and accomptnie 1 it by a
declaration that evidence existed as to
internal causes, and in this ago of arbi
tration Fomo of the powers would have
'onsidered that the United States were
bound to accept the proposition, which
would have resulted in two or three
years' delay, and meanwhile, having
made that the basis o our grievances,
all intervention would necessarily have
been suspended dining such arbitration.
That contingency, however, is elimi
nated by using the Maine for tho pres
ent only as the strongest Utile in the
chain of evidence which conclusively
proves not only Spain's inability to con
trol Cuba, hut that such lack of control
is an unceasing menace to the lives and
ptopeity of our citizens. Our claim
against Spain for indemnity for our
ship and the lives of the sailors remains
iinptejudiced, as well as our right to
make it the basis of hostile retaliation if
Spain refuses pioperly to recognize the
atrocity of the act. Furthcimore, the
president has acted in accordance wit't
precedents established by his illustri
ous predecessnis.
'! Jiia view of the case has already
gotten into the heads of many of the
piesident's criticp. He clearly stated
in his message that one of the reasons
for intervention was the inability of
F ain to protect the ships of a friendly
nation while in Spanish harbors in
Cuba. Ilint was the cue taken up by
the Kenate when, in the preamble to the
tcsolutions of the senate foreign rela
tions committee, it was set forth that:
" 'The abhorrent conditions which
have existed for more than three years
in the island of Cuba, so near our own
borders, have shocked the moral sense
of tho people of the United States, havo
been a disgrace to Christian civilization,
culminating, as they havo, in the do.
sttuction of a Uniied States battleship
with 2(i(i ot its officers and crew, while
on a friendly visit in the harbor of Ha
vana, and cannot longer be enduted.'
"Thus it is e'early discovered that
the Miiiuu question, instead of becom
ing bf secondary Importance, is in real
ity the one thing the one act that
ban forced the United Mates to its
present portion. With the momory of
iha torn and ragged mass of iron rust
ing in the mud of Havana's harbor, and
the recollection of the seventy Ameri
can sailors who-c bodies still rest in
that shattered battleship, comes a feel
ing of revulsion and hatted for a nation
that cannot "protect a 'friendly visitor.
The explosion under the Maine has
simply hastened the crisis."
Tin: United States now has a squad
ron in tho Philippines that is surpris
ingly largo, when one considers the size
of tho American navy. It consist? of
nine vessels, seven of which can fight,
whilo two aie ured as colliers. The
fighting whips are the projected cruisers
Ulvmpia, Baltimore, Boston and. Pal
eigh, the gnuboiits Concord and Petral
tho revenue cutter MtCullougl , which
has n cnnsideiablo armament, includ
ing a toipedo tube. Tho Olynfpia is
considered about tho best and ino.it
powerful ctuiser of 1 et class in tho bei v
icc, whilo the others aro heavily armed.
Comparison with Spain's fleet in the
Philippines shows that the spiadrou
under Conunoi'oro Dewey is fai bitpeiiur
to it.
A Spanish diplomat in London views
th naval Munition in this way: "The
A meiiuau navy is worked by a motley
ciow of black men, yellow men, mid
sailors of all notions. Well olficcicd, it
is true, but what is this to the ciow of n
Spanish ship, all of one nationality,
under strict discipline, and lighting for
their veiy kingdom?" The Anieiican
nation is rathor "motley" when one
stops to think about it. We are made
up of all soils of ueoplc ii6horo as well
as afloat, hut when it comes to an issue
thoie is a union li ml to heat.
The f!ag that tluhled over the wreck
of the Maine would lo k almighty pretty
floating above tho battlouieuts of Moio
Castle.
. WHERE PRIZE MONEY GOES.
Spanish vessels and their cargoes cap
tured by the naval vessels of the United
States during the war with Spain will
be condemned by prize courts and sold.
All the officers and crews participat
ing in each capture will receive shares
of the prize money.
The law governing condemnation of
prizes provides that when the court
shall determine that the prize was of
superior or equal foice to the vessel or
vessels tnakiug the capture, the entire
proceeds of the sale shall go to the cap
tors.
When tho court shall determine that
the prize was of inferior force, one-half
the proceeds f the sale shall go to -the
captors and 'one-half to the United
States.
Tho commanding officer of a fleet or
squadron lecoivcs one-U'entieth part of
nil prize money awarded to any vesst-1
or vessels under his immediate control.
Ihe commanding officer of a squad
ron or division under the command of a
commander-in-chiel re -eives one-fiftieth
of the amount awarded to the govern
ment when the government receives a
share.
The fleet captain is cnti'ed "to one
hundredth part of the a wauls made to
any vessel or vessels of the fleet or
squadron with which he is serving ex
cept in case whore the capture is made
by the vessel in which he is serving and
in that case he shares in pioportion to
his pay with the other officers and men
on board the vessel.
The commander of a single veael is
given one-tenth of the money awarded
to his vessel if it was acting at the time
of the capture under the command of
the commanding officer of a fleet, squad
ron or division and three-twentieths if
it was acting independently.
After these deductions the remainder
of the prize money awarded to a vessel
is distributed among the officers and
crew of u vessel in proportion to their
respective pay. All vessels of the navy
within signalling distance of the vessel
or esaela making the captme under
such ciicumstnucea and in such condi
tions as to ren ier efficient aid if required
share in the prize.

A good war story comes from Nogales :
A popular young business man down
theie was between two horns of a seri
ous dilemma. He was in love and he
wanted to go to war. One day this
week he confided to some fiiends that
he couldn't 'hind thestiain any longer,
and that he meant to piopose. "If I
am accepted 1 won't go to the wai. If
not, )ou can count on me." said he.
Wednesday he appeared with beaming
f.ue and announced to the boys tha. he
had decided not to go to war. Tho in
feience is that he pleaded his love suc
cessfully, and theie will no douDt bo

bull in Nogales eie long.
