of speedy determination.
From the London Standard
A correspondent makes an energetic
protest against the wearing by women
OF the mixed plumes arranged in the
form of a lamp chimney or sweeps
brush, the demand for which has re-
newed the persecution of the birds of
paradise, which abated when the tur-
bans of our great grandmothers went
out of ashton. The dorsal and other
plumes of certain species of herons,
known in the trade as ospreys or
egrets, or lin French) aigrettes, are. as
is well known, obtained in their beauty
only in the breeding season. 1t is the
nuptial plumage. which is torn from
the parent birds, whose bodies are
flung aside dead or alive, as may be,
in fostering heaps, while the young
ones are left to starve, uttering loud
and piteous cries. Extensive heronies
in Florida and elsewhere have been
utterly destroyed in this manner and
exact statistics have been recorded by
American and other naturalists, in
dorsed by the high authority of Pro-
fessor Newton, who has suggested that
the wearers of an ornament obtained
at such a murderous cost should be.
tarred as well as feathered. In antici-
patton of the present season some
archenemy of bird life discovered that
the matches plumage of the birds of
paradise included lovely tufts of long
and delicate plumes, occasionally two
feet in length, of intense yellow and
pale brown. which. divided, bleached
or dyed, would for some cd. apiece mix
well with the ospreys and furnish a
large profit for the trade, wholesale
and retail. The idea has been carried
out with remarkable energy and sue
cess.
The honorable secretary of the Socie-
ty for the Protection of Birds gives an
instance of one London warehouse hav-
ing sold $4,000 dozen of these mixed
sprays during the recent season: in
fact, the use, or rather, cruel abuse,
has been so great that Mrs. Lemon
states the prevailing impression in the
trade 10 be that the supply is failing,
that these comparatively rare tropical
birds are being rapidly used up. Jules
Forest affirms in his "Oiseaux dams la
Monde" that 1t is already difficult to
procure perfect specimens. since none
of them is allowed to live long enough
TO attain its full plumage. which, in
the case of male birds. takes several
years to develop. The English press
has for many years protested against
the wasteful destruction Of bird life.
not. perhaps. quite in vain, for the
stuffed carcasses commonly worn two
or three seasons ago are discarded and
the plumes now worn are for the most

Havana is a besieged city. She is not
surrounded by lines of intrenchments

1ected daily to showers of shot and
shell; the lines of her assailants can
not be seen from her Notifications. Yet
for all that, a great Spanish army is
practically penned within her confines.
her food supplies are being rapidly cut
off and her inhabitants are enduring

about 10000 patriots he has fought his

in control of the whole country The
Spanish cannot find him when they
have sufficient force To whip him. for
he disappears. When they are in suffi-

Cleveland Acts.

President Cleveland has at last acted
in the Cuban matter. April 10 he sent
cablegram Of instruction to Minister
Taylor at Madrid. This brings the
matter to a point whore some under
standing will be reached between the
two governments The note thoroughly
explains the attitude Of the United
States and the reasons which have led
to this action. The principal points
Of the dispatch are:
The President offers the good Offices Of
the United States government in media
ton between Spain and the insurgents,
with a view to settlement Of the
troubles, and to bringing about peace in
Cuba.
The note recalls the correspondence
between this government and Spain at
the time Of the ten years war, when
President Grant and Secretary Fish pro-
posed mediation and the Spanish
government, though declining to accept
The advocate., 1896-04-15

1t, promised certain reforms In Cuba.
The fact that the United States was in
part instrumental in bringing about that
settlement, and the charge that the
Spanish government has not kept it's
promises is given as reason why the
United States now has a right to be
heard in the case.
1t is pointed out that the present re-
bellion in Cuba has assumed much
more serious aspect than any former
insurreotion, the insurgents having,
apparently, taken possession Of all Of the
island except Havana anda small section
Of the country round about.
Spain is assured Of the fact that the
United States is actuated only by disinter-
ested motives and by desire through
friendship to bring about more pacific
state of affairs in the island. Spain is
urged to accept our good offices in the
spirit in which they are rendered, and
the hope is expressed that the Spanish
government will see it's way to granting
reforms in Cuba. The President does
not ask Spain to grant the independence
of Cuba, nor does he suggest that home
rule be accorded the people Of that
island. He leaves all these questions Of
methods to be discussed after Spain
shall have expressed a willingness TO
accept mediation.
