The channel is so narrow—less than 100 yards wide at the entrance —that but one ship can pass at a time. The monitor Puritan, the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, or either one of our big battleships would be able to annihilate the entire Spanish fleet should it attempt to run the blockade of the harbor entrance and escape to the sea. It is agreed that the Spaniards have committed suicide by bottling their ships up in Santiago. A block- ade has, of course, been established, but it is believed to be the intention of Admiral Sampson to move into the harbor and destroy the Spanish This is a hazardous under- taking, but its suc eans honor, fame and promotion for the com- mander who accomplishes the task. Naval officers believe that the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius can quick- ly clear the channel of the torpedo mines that line it, and that the monitors and battleships can steam through the entrance into the bay and destroy the Spaniards as quickly ships. and successfully as Dewey blew up the enemy at Manila.

TEN CENTS A WE | AVOID BREAKERS | And Give Benjamin Keys a Clear and Smooth Track For Congress, A Prominent Trigg County Re« yes His Idea Thing to Do. Caviz, Ky., May 23, Editor Paducah Sun: If admissable, please allow space in what I deem the newsest paper in Western Kentucky, fur an bumble republican and ove, too, who only has the good of his party at stake in so doing, to say that at this very critical moment in politics, in my humble opinion, above all others this is the time for ours, the greatest, grandest and best political organiza- tion that has ever organized and achieved wondrous good in America since the day Columbus bowed, kissed this earth and called it his own, to steer clear of brepkers. how the question arises, how is this to be done? Simply by keeping out of conventions, primaries, etc. Let the Hon. Ben C. Keys have a clear track, and my word for it, no odds whether that track be straight, oval or kite shaped, he will carry the big wind jammer of Marion, who is sure to be the democratic nominee, over the same at a much speedier gait than any nominee has traveled in this, the Gibraltar, since the day Eve induced Adam to partake of that fruit of whatever kind it may have been. Yes, let's lay aside all bickerings. Keep cool, lay low, saw wood and say nothing until the time comes for ‘tion and then with one accord give the nominee of the democratic party what Paddy gave the drum. Now I want to be clearly understood that while this is my position, and I will use my best endeavors to this end, however, should the republican party see fit to make a nomination for this big office I feel my insignficancy compared with same, and will at the moment same is done, do as I have always done, i, e., board the baud wagon of the g. 0. p. and do all in my power to elect whoeyer he may be. bs Farther, 1 as an individual repab- lican, would like to. demonstrate to the democratic party that we too have 8 copper-lined stomach by swallowing “Uncle Ben,” thereby demonstrating that we haveno heavier matter to contain than they did when they swallowed Bryan, Lacky & Co., ex- cept that our ‘dose’’ contains more brain matter than did theirs, which would be nothing unusual in the stomach of a republican as the aver- age repub'ican has a much” larger quaatily of like matter, generally speaking, in his stomach than the ordinary democrat carries in his head.
