Stops of Various Quilts. By W. d.
Howells Illustrated by Howard Pyle.
Mr.. Howell's volume is a beautiful holt
day book Thick, soft paper of satin
lustre, decorated with very unique and
suggestive drawings in illustration of
the various themes, various. yet with a
likeness running through them all, mas
much as they sound the note of this day
and century. We haven't here the early
poet at all, but a mature soul that cries
out against injustice and inequality-the
frivolous and the self-absorbed. Mr..
Howells has grown into altruism very
thoroughly and he also shows in these
poems leaning towards mysticism and
fatalism, such spirit as is rife in the
less material portions of Omar Knayyam,
for example.
To us poems that employ swash-tub, ;"
ga West End Carr ''a bad cough" and
"Boston Common are not poems at all.
But it's possible we lack the power of
idealizing the real. Some of these, songs
and soliloquies are strong in epigram
some are beautiful. all are peculiar and

An Old Convent School in Paris and
Other Papers, by Susan Coolidge, author
of "Verses," ''More Verses" etc., is an
arrangement of literary and biographical
material. not easily procured in the origi-
nal, and certainly in this case made very
readable and entertaining by the author
of the book. The subjects are besides the
initial number, "The Countess Potooki, /"
sequel to IAN Old Convent School ;"the
sc irlhood Of an Autocrat," namely,
Catherine IL OF Russia: "Miss Eden, !"
elder sister of George Eden. Baron AUX
land and Governor General of India; and
"The Duo de Saint-Simon, the literary
Rubens of the commencement of the
eighteenth century. Persons inclined to
condemn the society morals of the day
will find the glazing faults of our luxuri-
Gus civilization all present in the distin-
guished folk figuring in the Princess de
Signe's biography.
The book is excellently printed and of
an elegant simplicity, agreeable after too
frequent fourishes and decorations.

The story that the Cuban revolutionary

ought not to be accepted without strong

4 spanish BlrB-niine Fires Upon an
am rican ship
NEW YORK, March 12.--The American
steamship AIliancia, while proceeding from
Colon to New York on the sth inst. sighted
barkentine rugged steamer off Cape
MAY. which headed directly toward her.
At z o'clock. wuen about two and Ia
miles distant, she hoisted Spanish flag,
which was saluted by hosting the Amer.-
can ensign and tipping 1t, which act of
courtesy was answered by the Spaniard.
At 7:l5 o'clock she fired "A blank cart
ridge to leeward, soon followed by an
other. The American ensign was again
holsted and dipped, but the course and
speed of the ship was not changed, no
hostile demonstration being anticipated,
as the Alliancia was more than six miles
off Land.
The Spanish man-of-war was not satis-
fled, however, with even a double salute,
but proceeded to chase the American to
her fullest speed.
Seeing the Alliancia drawing away, she
waved to, bringing her guns to bear, and
fired a solid shot, which struck the water
less than an eighth of a mile away from
the ship and directly IN line. This was
followed by two more solid shots, which,
fortunately, did not reach the mark, the
second striking the water in plain sight
of The ship. Al each shot, however, the
Spanish ship yawed to get in range of tho
American ship before firing on her, plainly
showing the intention TO hit her If she
could.
Captain Crossman of the Aliancia,
knowing that he was more than two
leagues from land Oh the big high seas.
ordered full steam and gradually drew out
of the range. The chase was kept up for
more than % miles. however.
This outrage has been reported to the
secretary of state by Captain Crossm1n,
and no doub; prompt demand will be
made on the Spanish government for an
explanation of the insult and the reason
required for he attempt made to stop an
American mail steamer on the higl seas
in time of peace.
Captain Crossman was unable to get
the name of the Spanish gun boat.
I'VE were about SIX miles off shore on
the high seas" he said. "aud | do not
think we were responsible to the Cubans
or anybody else for being in those waters.
The shots were fired doubtless by some
conceited Spaniarl who has an idea that
he can stop anything that floats. How
ever, he was disappointed as IT never oc-
Cured to me for a moment TO Law to.
ut Is customary for US to run within
half a mile of the Cuban coast and this
time We were further away from it than
ever and really cannot tell why the shots
were fired"
In answer to a question as TO whether
or not the shots might have been fired by
a gun boat with the idea that his boat be-
longed to the revolutIonists IN CUBA, the
practicing on US"
The Alliancia has been running between
this port and Colon tor a number of years,
making one trip each month. She carries
the United States mail and has passenger
accommodations for 80 cabin passengers,
including officers. Sne carries a crew of
50 men.
