HORRORS OF WAR.
For the cause that lacks assistanceFor tli" wu'itißs that need resistance.For tbi> future in the distance,'
And the pood that we can do.
War has been formally declared. Forthe nrxt few days we may expect tohave reports of carnage too awful toimagine. The brief items of cablenews which will come to hand fromtime to time will convey but a faintimpression of the terrible warfare thatis proceeding, with all the tortures andsufferings inseparable with armedstrife. The Americans, who are en-gaged in the present war, should havethe War of Secession still fresh intheir memory. If it is not, they havean eloquent reminder of its horrors inthe publication of a volume entitled,"The Wound Dresser," being a seriesof letters written by the poet WaltWhitman to his mother during theperiod that he was attending thewounded soldiers in the hospitals atWashington. " Of ail harrowing ex-periences," he writes in one letter," none is greater than that of the daysfollowing a heavy battle. Scores,hundreds, of the noblest young men onearth, uncomplaining, lie helpless,mangled, faint, alone, and so bleed todeath, or die from exhaustion, eitheractually untouched at all, or withmerely the laying of them down andleaving them," when there ought to bethe means provided for saving them.Many of the wounded went crazy.They have suffered too much, and it isperhaps a privilege that they are outof th' ir senses." In another passagehe gives the following piece ofrealism :'■ Outdoors, at the foot of a tree,within ten yards of the front of thehouse, I notice a heap of amputatedfeet, legs, arms, hands, Ac., a,bout aload' for a one-horse cart. Severaldead bodies iie near, each covered withits brown woollen blanket.

The rumors of war (writes the Americancorrespondent of the -Dunedin Star) areplaying the very mischief with stocks. OnFebruary 14 a bubbleburst in Wall-street,and millionsof dollars were knocked out ofthe Stock Exchange's value of securitips.Practically all the stocks and bonds on thelist declined. Subsequently, after the"lambs " had been fleeced out of millions,the big gamblers succeeded in manipulat-ing the prices back to about the point theywerebefore the break. Ihis stocK bettingbusiness is not legitimate nor beneficial.It is not a business in any sense. Thosefellows are not dealing in securities butin insecurities. They hold stockson mar-gins only to bet on. When unable to putup margins they are shaken out andfleeced by other sharpers on the streets.No harm'is done. There was no occasionfor sympathy or anxiety of any kind. Itis nothing but blackleg sport on a largescale. War with Spain cannot hurt ourrailroad stocks. The railroads will earnjust as much money, and possibly more, ifwe had a brush with the Dons. The wartalk cut no figure in the bursting of thebubble. It was only the pretext. Nohonest, patriotic citizen will do any weep-ing because margin gamblers loso onstocks.

There was a good muster of theHastings Rifles at company paradelast Thursday. The company wasexercised by Lieut. Ware and the non.corns.
No date has yet been fixed for thedistrict medal shooting.
I should like to see the marksmengoing in for a little practice in view ofthis competition, which cannot be verylong now before it takes place.
Officers commanding volunteer dis-tricts have been summoned to Welling-ton to confer with the Commandant ofForces and the Under-Secretary forDefence as to the best steps to be takento improve the means of defending thechief ports.

Those present wereColonel Penton (commandant) in thechair, Sir Arthur Douglas (Under-Secretary for Defence), Lieut.-ColonelsBanks (Auckland), Newall (Welling-ton), Gordon (Christchurch), andWebb (Duhedin). It is likely that theConference will last some days.
Lieutenant Harold Williams, of theNapier Guards, whohas been studyingwith a view to securing a commissionin the Imperial Army, left Napier bythe express train last Tuesday forWellington for the purpose of sittingfor his preliminary examination, thepapers for which arrived from Homeby the last mail. It is the intentionof Lieutenant Williams to remain inWellington for a periodof four months,during which time he will receiveinstruction in military matters fromMaster Gunner Eichardson.
Cadets Pilkington and Will, of thePermanent Militia, who have beentaken on for two years, are to be com-missioned as lieutenants, and willshortly be sent Home to undergo acourse of gunnery instruction andother subjects.

Members of the Hastings Rifles arereminded that next Thursday is a Go-vernment inspection parade.
While at tbeMiarmar Encampment,Colonel Pole-Penton informed theofficers commanding corps that be hadarranged with the Defence Departmentthat six days light parade should beheld during t,be year, and that thosemembers attending should be paid 2s6d per day per man, providing therewas not less than three-fourth strengtho£ the company present. He wassorry he could not offer the men more,but he had done the best he could forthem.
The ranks of the local corps are nowpretty well filled up.
I see that the Hastings Rifles willshortly lose the services of LieutenantRidway, that gentleman having de-cided to take up bis residence in Wan-ganni. I have already heard one or
two names mentioned as likely to fillthe vacant lieutenancy.
Missing Men.[By Telegkaph.]
(Per Press Association).
Wellington, This day.Four men went outside the Heads
in a yacht yesterday, and two brothersput off in a, dingy, which they left atanchor. The other two returned toport saying the Enemys had disap-peared. Though the weather and seaare remarkably fine, a party left tosearch this morning; feut the signalstation reports that two men have leftthe lighthouse in a boat. Probablythese are the missing men.
Later.The latest information is that both
the Emenys were drowned. Theirbodies are on the way to the morgue.No particulars are available.
The Horowhenua Block.(By Telegraph)
(Per Press Association),
Wellington, This day.The Native Appellate Court upheld
Sir Robert Stout's contentions thatthe order made last week respectingMajor Kemp's beneficial interest inBlock 14 was not final, but merelyinterlocutory. Mr Bell intimated that •he would apply for a mandamus tocompel the making of a final orderunder Section 5 of the HorowhenuaBlock, but Judge McKay said he wasconfident Mr Bell could not get suchan order.
Police Commission.(Per Press Association.)
[By Telegraph]
Christchurch, April 23.Frank White, who had been at Eke-
tahuna, said he had taken round thepetition for the removal of Roche. Hewas paid and employed by certain pub-licans.
Constable Jackson said he had goodreason to believe that political in-fluence caused hie removal from Ash-burton. There was a general impres-sion that there were forces superior tothe Commissioner dealing with trans-fers and other matters. The feelingnow was that neither the publicansnor politicians interfered as they did.Had the force been left to the Com-missioner and inspectors he did notthink such things would have hap-pened as had occurred.
Mr Tanner, re-called with respect tohis statement in the House, gave hisexperiences while visiting the hotelson a Sunday evening. Liquor waspaid for without hesitation. He felthe was in the midst of unspoken con-spiracy. With his experience of thatSunday night the average intelligentpoliceman with a free hand could havegot a conviction. Ho admitted thatthere were difficulties in carrying outthe licensing laws.
John Sims gave evidence of bigarrest in Masterton to show careless-ness of method on the part of tnepolice.
The Commission then adjourned tillMonday.
This day.The Police Commission resumed to-
day.George Fleming, of the Peninsula,
represented by counsel, stated thatthe police were started at 5s per dayin the country, but that, sum was notsufficient. Country policemen shouldbe married. The transfers should beevery seven years. The system was toblame for the present state of matters.He bad lost 6000 sheep in five years,and Mr Randall also lost sheep. Witha capable police force the perpetratorsof these thefts should have been de-tected. In the horse-stabbing caseshe suggested that a reward of £IOOObe offered for evidence that wouldensure a conviction. Policemen andtheir wives should have the franchise.The Detectives were not sharp enough.Eight hours night duty was too muchat one time. The public houses shouldbe open for a short time on Sundays.The hotels in New Zealand wereexcellently managed. The prohibi-tionists were too extravagant in theirstatements. No policeman or detec-tive should have the right to go into abrothel without a warrant unless thehouse was disorderly. From his ex-perience he did not think constablesbeing married would have mucheffect on the morality of the force.A strengthened force was wantedmore in the country thanin the towns.It was a pity that Stipendiary Magis-trates and Justices of the Peace werenot within the scope of the Commis-sion. The police should be suppliedwith bicycles.
Witness charged Constable Ryanwith failing to attend a public gather-ing when requested, and having pro-mised to do so ; with requiringwitness to alter his woolshed atPort Levy ; and with having, whenrequested, failed to take action inconnection with an assault. He com-plained generally of the police notlooking properly after his and others'interests in the sheep stealing eases.

A torpedo boat attached to theSampson squadren captured theSpanish steamer Mathilde, after asharp chase.
The guns from Morro Castle, a largefort guarding Havana harbor, fired 10shots at the blockading squadron, butthey were ineffective.
The squadron did not reply.America has decided to recognise
the neutral Sag when it covers theenemy's goods, excepting contrabandof war. Such goods are liable to seiz-ure though not under the enemy'sflag.
America is determined that theblockade must be effective.
Madrid, April 21.An improved tone prevails on the
Spanish bourses.The rush of depositors to withdraw
money from the Bank has mitigated.

THE SPANISH STRENGTH.
S«-vt'Ofv thousand men is the numberof ripaindi -oloitr- who have beenkilled, w I'm ltd, arid otherwise in-cip..ci'ated iordutv during the presentwar m tuba. '1 hese figures havebet>n receivt-d m Washington recentlyfrom r< liable sources, and are said tob*> as nearly authi ntic as it is possible•o obtain them without recourse totbe records kept bv the Spanish(lovemment. !• rom this same sourcecon-uterabie other information bearingon tho military strencrth of Spain andher dependencies is obuiined.
*} he present force of Spain in Cubais a- follows : Rvgular, 135,000 men.Of thi- number it is estimated thatnQ,(.!OQ of tbem are etiective for mili-tary purposes. They are distributedthroughout the island as follow.-:about *2."i,Q00 are in the two easternprovinces of Sa.ntia.go de Cuba andPuerto Principi. and the remainderare in the provinces of Santa Clara,M;U"'".as, Havana, and Pinar del Rio.
j There are about 80,000 memliers ini what is known as tbe volunteer army.I These are mostly in the province of
Hiv .ii 1 and are largely in the natureI of ho ne guards, corresponding to thej Uuiu-d States militia. There are
u.u men who are not effective fori military duty from various causes,j Hi-./strength of the Spanish armyat home and including her near-by
possessions is 100,000 men, which intimes of 'i.u ■» i for juklitional soldiersmay be increased as follows : —Firstreserve, 50,000; s< cond reserve,li;0,00U men, ail of whom are in-sfructed in military tactics, and asi-toud n serve, nil of which are notinstructed, of <3?',000 men, waking in

In the Philippine Islands Spain hasan army of 32,000 men, which in-cludes 5,000 native troops. Severalregiments of the latter were disbandedduring the time of thelate insurrectionin the Islands, and in time of war, itis said, they are of very little Use tothe Spanish Government.
In Porto Rico there a fa 5000 Spanishtroops, which, in the event of hostili-ties, could be supplemented by 4000volunteers.
THE MINES IN HAVANAHARBOUR.
The following statement by Mr JohnP. Sherman, a native Chicagoan inthe employ of a large tobacco import-ing house, who has returned to hisnative city from Cuba, where he livedfor 10 years, will explain the referenceto the arrest of Crandal. Mr Sher-man said : " It was a fact well knownto residents of Havana that its harborwas fortified with both torpedo andsubmarine mines by order of GeneralWeyler. Early last spring CaptainGerald Weyler, engaged the services ofCharles A*. Crandal, an Americantorpedo expert, formerly a member ofthe crew of the United States shipSan Francisco, to lay out the mineand torpedo service of the harbor ofHavana. Crandal worked at night,and during the time that he was in theservice of the Spanish Government heplaced tt-n mines and seven torpedoesin the harbor. The mines and tor-pedoes were connected with an electricfiring plant in the magazine diagonallyacross the channel from Morro Castle,and it would have been one of theeasiest things in the world for one ofthe spies to have placed theswitch andblown the Maine out of the water.

The funeral of the late Mrs Due,which took place yesterday, wa3 largelyattended. The ceremony was per-formed by Canon St. Hill. Mr Duehas the sympathy of many friends inhis sad bereavement.
The annual election of the SchoolCommittee, which takes place thisevening, is exciting a good deal ofinterest, although it is somewhateclipsed by the war.
Another Foresters' social is about tobe held here, when we hope to see anumber of Hastings friends present.
We in Havelock are indebted tothe Standard for sending us periodical"extras" about the war. This is theonly information we get during theday-time, and it is eagerly read. Bythe by, we must also congratulate youupon having later war news than anyother evening paper, and it is cer-tainly more readable, for, instead ofbeing patched all over the paper, aswith some journals, it follows on inproper order.
