Scribners for September. One story,

throbbing of pure emotion, has been
eagerly devoured by a hungry generation.
In "Trilby" there are men and women

them something too remote to win our
sympathy. We cannot all have platforms
on which 10 pass the crises of our lives.

Senior Giberga has throughout his life
been devoted to the intelligent solution
of the Cuban problem with due regard
to the rights OF Spain, as he conceived
them 10 be. Although elected to the
senate, he has not taken his seat or pre-

have been impossible.
In other words, Senior Gibergs de-
clares. over his OWE signature and in
Madrid newspaper, that Spain alone is
responsible for the present ceplorable
condition Of things, for her own loss Of
prestige, the waste Of many millions OF
dollars and the needless sacrifice OF
