Imagine such a man ever loving a

mother and that he loved her. know

remembers something of his grand
father But there is not enough blood
in his frail little body TO warm into life

relations of womanhood, and mentally

tions.

tomized in his person and. as others

the case The point is illustrated in the
case OF Captain General Weyler, who is

Weyler is given by Ebert Rappleye.

expelled from the island a few days ago.
'Weyler," says MIR Rappleye, 'is one
of those men who creates a first impress

He is one of the most magnetic men
in whose presence l have ever stood,

personality is irresiStible-yet he is un-

mind into a quick seeker for similar
tiles, and one comes quickly. To me
il was Marat. have never seen a rep
resentation Of Marat that might not
prOfJabiy be exchanged for a delinea-
ton OF Weyler. 1t would account more
satisfactorily for the power he attain
ed-that domination OF men with which
it is so hard to candidly associate those
pictures Of tyrants that are familiar to
the stage.

OF sending n French warship into Persian

it is so much In keeping with what we
know OF Lord Kimberley and NJ Hano

In believing that something OF the
sort happened. What is Of more
relevancy at the moment Is the
fact that M Hanotsux Is sgain
at the Q1ai d'Orsay, and that the
Partisan newspa pers which reject his
views are laying great stress upon the
right aud dQty OF France to safeguard
the neutrality OF the Persian Gulf and
its approaches This Is only another
way Of saying that In our tack OF keep

perhaps, when We might have made
bargain with Russia over the business
and obtained compensation else where
for what we reliquishcd. But bargaining
with Russls was always rather a one

point where they are scarcely worth
