SPAIN WANTS CASH.
Demands Indemnity for FiIlbustering
Expeditions.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Spain Is pre-
rarlng TO present heavy bill for dam
ages against the United States on ac-
count of the operations OF Cuban fill
clustering expeditions. Calderon Car
Isle. the legal adviser OF the Spanish
legation, has submitted to Minister De
LONE, by his direction, voluminous
report ON 'the legal aspect of hostilities
committed by vessels specially equipped
In whole or in part within the United
States for warlil<e uses, and by mill
tary expeditions and enterprises car
ried on from the territory Of the United
States. against the Spanish dominion
in Cuba during the present insurrec-
ton"
There can be no question, according
TO Mr.. Carlisle, that the United States
are and have been fully cognizant of the
state OF insurrection in Cuba. More
over. the Spanish government. through
it's accredited minister and other repre-
sentatives, has not failed repeatedly 10
warn the authorities-though generally
in yain-of the impending purpose of
Glibustering expeditions about 10 leave
various ports.
These facts says the brief, are so no
torious and the violations OF neutrality
Sc fragrant that the claims OF the Span
ish government arising Hereunder are
entitled 10 every consideration as well
grounded and lawful.
In concluding the first section OF
his report Mr.. Carlisle says the powers
invested in the president of the United
States have not been effectively used for
preventing the carrying on OF military
expeditions forbidden by the statutes.
Whatever pretext and attempts may be
made To carry on these expeditions as
peaceful and lawful voyages, the fact
remains, says the attorney, that from
the beginning of the insurrection the
base Of supplies for war material has
been in the United States

ETIQUETTE IN SPAIN.
There the People Are Always Punotii-
iousiy Polite.


Spaniartls have some rules OF etiquette
that would prove surprising TO the aver
age casy-going American. Take, Cor
instance, the rules governing visits.
When the first call is made by lady
she is expected 20 arrive in carriage,
that being considered n mark OF high
respect. Should the person called upon
be absent from home, the visitor Is ex-
pected 10 leave her card with one end
turned over, and in one corner Is 10 be
written the initials Il. P.. meaning EN-
persona, or in person. Upon ringing
the bell the visitor is usually greeted
by an unseen person with the words,
"Quien es p or who's there ?" towhlch
should bc replied "Gente de paz," or
persons OF peace. Entering, the visitor
Is conducted 10 the best room in the
house, led TO a sofa and placed to the
right of the hostess. On rising TO take
leave the proper form is to exclaim, in
the case of lady: Sonora, place my
self at your feet" She will answer in
similarly fgurative way by saying:
IL kiss your hand; may you depart with
God and continue we'll" Feminine Wis
itors are saluted with kiss, both upon
their arrival and departure. II is con-
sidered an objectionable breach Of good
manners for gentleman to offer to
shake hands with Spanish lady. An
other decidedly Objectionable proceed
ing. in Spanish eyes, is to offer lady
ones arm when walking with her.
Should n Spanish gentleman so fur for
get himself as TO offer his arm TO hia
wife he would be looked upon as lnment-
ably ignorant of the laws of etiquette
governing good society i'm the land Of
his birth.
Another noticeable custom is that
when walking with Spaninrd. in Spain,
IL is considered the height of ill-man-
ners to walk on the inside. This Is the
place OF honor and should always be
given TO the native. When o well-bred
spaniard meets lady on the street he
always passes 10 the outside, thus maxi
ing way for her; but with men this rule
is not Observed; whoever has the wall
on his right hand in the narrow streets
Is entitled 10 keep IL.
These are some of the most noted pe-
culinritics of the rigorous rules gov
erning Spaniards of polite breeding;
they are punttilious almost 10 the point
OF absurdity i'm most things. but their
politeness is Of n kind that wears well.

It's Immediate Eject Upon tho Nations
Finances.


Many of the newspapers and politi-
clans that are opposed TO Bryan and
free coinage appear to think that the
election OF "sound money" house Of
representatives is matter OF even
greater Importance than the election of
MIR. Mckinley. The Post il not dis
posed 10 underestimate the importance
of securing house that-will. like the
present house, be in opposition TO the
senate on the silver issue. We do not
look for amy change in the attitude of
the senate on this question during the
life of the next congress. Whatever
may be the outcome of this campaign,
II is morally certain that the next sen
ate will have free coinage majority.
The populists and silver republicans i'm
that body will all be democrats. for this
campaign consolidates the friends of
silver. The election of a 'sound money"
house would prevent the passage OF
free coinage measure, even il Mr.. Bry-
an were i'm the presidential office.
But what would Ike the effect ON the
currency question of the election of Mr.
Bryan. even il his administration were

not change any existing law. There
could be no free coinage legislation;
but might we not have something
worse? Might've not have our finances

not the silver basis. with no law FOR
coming additional silver, be more haz-
ardous than unlimited free coinage?
The disappearance of the 100000. COO in

ton, is confidently predicted as soon ms

result of such enormous contraction OF

readers. And why? Because he Is about
to remove TO his new and elegant store

he wishes to clean out his present stock
to basket full if possible. In order to
do this prices have got to come way
down, and the "tiggers' he shows this
morning will prove as taking as Mrs.
Jarley's. Any woman who can resist
the attractions offered by Mr.. Libby must
be made of sterner stuff than usual.
