ST.. JOINS COLLEGE, Cambridge.
SIR-At the earliest opportunity after the RECENT
OF your letter meeting OF the captains of the Cam
bridge University Boat Club called. It was then
unanimously agreed tina. II possible your challenge
should be accepted. The general opinion OF the
meeting. however. was that 1t would be impossbies
owing to the loss of many OF the crew which
represented our University against Oxford Lass
March, to accept your challenge definitely before
time after the termination OF the annual eight Dared
race of the Cambridge University Boat Cubt--hatF
is until about the end or May; then. OF course we
would be in position 10 decide whether
we can get four oar to Tow against
YOU. II, therefore, you will allow our acceptanc6
refusal to remain open until then shall esteem
IL great favor. Such a course as you will in any
case, suppose, come over to England t0.row against
the oxford University Boat Club, will not, trusE
m any way inconvenience you. remain sir. yours
sincerely JOHN H. ID. G0LDIE.
President of the Cambridge University Boat Club.
There IS little doubt that Harvard will readily

SPAIN AND GIBRALTAR. Saturday last
Spain, Ia spite OF Cuban trouble, not only
thought but spoke about the Rock Of Gibraltar,
one Of the grandest-- perhaps tho grandest---
and most imposing of British outposts. Min
ister Lorenzanas reply was wise. Spain must
be strongly constituted and financially reor-
ganized before she can speak to Great Britain
about the cesson OF the Mediterranean key.
There are theorists in Great Britain who re-
gard the great rock as folly and waste, and
who go In Tor immediate ccssion. These men
are theorists. and they ara few in number.
Great Britain will not give up Gibraltar 80
long as she has good reason to hold il; and
she will have good reason to hold IL 80 long
as she believes she is mistress of the seas
The Rock Of Gibraltar, however, az the rock
IL now known, Is perpetual insult to spain.
IF Spain awakens Into newness of life the
Gibraltar question will be one Of the great
questions Of tho future.
