NOT SETTLED.

The affair OF the Caroline Islands does
not seem to be settled yet, while the
latest dispatches indicate that Germany
is more resolute than ever in the asser-
ton Of her claim to the islands. If Ger
many still persists in asserting her claim
and Spain still refuses to accede to Ger
many's demands, it will be difficult. to
forecast what the result will be. That
Spain is no match for Germany is plain
to all, although upon the sea Spain is
not so inferior to Germany az
she would be upon the land.
II the relation between the two countries
became so strained as to lead to a rupture,
what the consequences TO Spain will be
no one can tell. Spain, during the whole
summer, has been scourged by cholera TO
such an extent that her population has
been decreased nearly quarter OF mil
lion Through deaths resulting from cholera
Such a thing must necessarily dampen
the ardor of her citizens and cause them
to teel that already the heavy hand
OF woe has been laid upon them.
Spain is also torn by numerous
political parties, and near Barcelona
and Valencia and Saragossa the
Carlists are still strong, and hope still
lives within their breasts. And it is from
the quarter OF Spain where these cities are
situated that the sturdiest and most war
like OF the Spaniards come. Alfonso sits
upon the throne more by sufferance than
anything else. For Spain to 90 to war
with any country in Europe, would be
for Spain TO invite revolution TO come
among her people Perhaps this would
not be so if she could carry foreign war
to a successful issue; but this is i'm
possible. The condition OF Germany is the
very reverse OF that of Spain. She is
strong, united and recently triumpant.
She is young and ambitious, and her
march is forward. She is greater to-day
than ever before, and while she is Justly
proud of her past, her greatest glory is
not there, but before her. Not so with
Spain; her glory is of the past, her pride

von hv the Puritan" This does not
decide the matter as to whom shall go that
proud trophy, but it assures one race to the
"Puritan," and will bring renewed hope
to all Americans that the Puritan" Will
win all the races. The sight in New York
harbor must have been one to fill the
soul of the dullest with the feelings OF an
enthusiast as the two yachts came in at
the finish, when every craft upon tfe
course doomed forth a glad welcome. To-
morrow these two representative yachts
OF the two leading Anglo-Saxon nations
meet again, and may the victory OF yes
terday again perch upon the spars OF the
"puritan. -

THE SOLDIERS HOMES
An Explanation By an Inmate.

To THE EDITOR: Early in February I sent
you small sGuib regarding the system Of gov
eminent of Soldiers Homes, their strict mill
tary discipline. probable number of inmates st
the National Military Home, Dayton, o., etc.
Instead of publishing the letter, which ac-
knowledge was severe, yet true TO the letter,
you say in your issue of Feb. %: "Karl criti-
cizes sharply the management of the Soldiers
Home at Dayton, o. He thinks the military
discipline is too strict. He says the Home has
now about 1850 inmates, of whom 25O have 10
sleep on the floor for lack of accommodations"
Now. did not criticize the management Of
the Dayton Home, and this publication has
caused me to be discharged therefrom, rather
has, as / believe, furnished the pretext for so
doing.
Will you be kind enough to call attention to
the matter disclaiming any such meaning on
my part? My object was to inform those con-
templating becoming inmates that while these
Homes had the name of being what was in
tended by Congress, the EloRotony and promis-
euous mixing of the members soon brought on
ennui, and made the men far from contented
or happy; this being aggravated by the strict
enforcement of military discipline. / had no
thought OF intent of blaming the management,
who are simply following out the Rules and
Articles of War as the act prescribed.
The result bears hard upon me, rs L was lily
