It mentions sixty nine ships added to the U S Navy since the Maine explosion, calls out masthead patriotism, and jokes about fashion in the summer of 98. It also mocks a Western paper’s births and marriages page, comments on April as start of wars, and reports naval actions including the capture of the Argo Manta and Weyler’s kin in playfully grim terms.
