They Deceive Brides.

The thousands of brides who
have visited the Treasury on
their wedding tours and have
been allowed to hold in their
hands for a few moments the big
bundle of money SO carefully

with great blotches of red seal>
ing wax marked 50 900 900, )"
will realize what a wicked and
deceptive world this is when they
know that the real contents Of
the package were simply two old
census reports. This innocent
deception has been carried on for
a quarter of a century. When
people go into the vaults they al
ways want to handle money.
There is an irresistible tendency
to feel of it, and the more val>
liable the package the greater
the temptation. 1t wasn't con-
sidered good policy to allow
large amount of treasure to be
passed around among strangers
III such way for fear some one
might chloroforn the guide and
vault-keepers and make a break
with the package. So curiosity
was gratihed and the government
was protected from any possible
loss by making up dummy and
giving it a proper appearance.
The secret had been kept until
Saturday, when a spiteful EN-
ploye, who had been discharged
gave it away.-W1n. E. Curtis in

An American Newspaper Man in Cuba to
Fight Retired Spanish Oficer.
HAVANA, July 9.-Bradley Johnson,
newspaper correspondent here, has
been challenged to fight duel by re-
tired Spanish military officer who was
offended by remarks in General John
sons published correspondence about
the Spanish army. The challenger
finds himself in somewhat ridiculous
position as the officers in active service
refuse to recognize him as their cham
plon. General Johnson, who is an ex-
officer of the confederate army. has
seen much of war, and is in no wise
troubled over the vaporings of the self
constructed champion of the honor of
Spanish officers. He says if his state
ments are such as to render necessary
a meeting on the field of honor he is
perfectly willing to fight when the
proper person to meet him is decided
upon. News is received that unknown
parties have burned the Santa Bar.

CUBA.

LONDON, July 6.sThe broad states
nanship and sagacity of General
Martinez Campos were never more
iorcibly illustrated than in has speech
in the Spanish senate defending his
| policy in Cuba and appealing for
| peace. If his advice we're followed,
there would be il quick end of dis
orders in the island and of friction
with the United States. Campos spoke
With caution, yet with boldness. He
did not directly attack the policy of
the Canovas cabinet. But he did say
that during the period of his recent
captain generalship he had repeatedly
urged the government to carry out
home rule reforms. IF / did not
carry them out myself" he declared,
sit was because the government never
instructed me to do So" The pero-
alton of the speech was lofty and
pathetic appeal to the cabinet and the
nation to make whatever concessions
We're necessary to bring about peace.
"Let us end d war;" he exclaimed, in
tones of warning and indignation,
(which costs 20, 900 lives and SlOO,Oo0,-
900 annually" 1t was the speech of
patriot and of Spain's most far-seeing
statesman, as well as ablest and most
humane soldier. But it did not fall
with pleasant sound upon the ears of
ministcrialists or military politicians
Of any school. They were better
satisfied with the energetic retort of
Canovas, who reiterated, amid the
applause Of the chamber and the
galleries, that while complete scheme
of reforms was ready; not d single
concession would be made until the
insurrection had been quelled. awe
have no peace offering forrebels," was
the text of the premier, and the extra
ordinary credits for the Cuban war
were voted without further debate.
In the lobby, afterward, Campos stated !
that to end the war, as the cabinet |
would require the military
occupation of the island This, in his
opinion, would mean 100000 men in
the next five years and 81 900, 900 900.
HAVANA, July T.-Eampos' early
return to Cuba with full power to
mplant autonomy in the island is
generally believed to be the only
way to maintain the Spanish
lag. The forces are disheartened and
he homeless country people are
begging in the streets, flocking to the
owns in a vain search for work. The
Misery is widespread.

in manner that has set diplomats to
tall.ing Probably no other mani in
England is so we'll acquainted with the
trend of European affairs, and when
he seriously predicts that Great Brit
ain is on the eve of a fierce Continental
struggle, the English public begins to
think that a conflict is near at hand
Sir Charles solemnly declares that
Great Britain, single handed, is des-
tined to engage ID a terrible struggle
with Germany, Russia and France
combined. The fight, he ASSERTS, may
COME at any time within decade, os-
tensibly about Egypt, but really on ac-
count of jealousy of Great Britain's
colonial expansion. Therefore, Sir
Charles urges Great Britain to hold
herself free from any alliance which
might only prove Elusive, and to
devote herself to the development of
her defenses. The publication Of this
letter has stirred up the editors of
England, and, strange to say, they all
with singulaf unanimity take the same
pessimistic view of the continental sit
uation that has been taken by the en-
ment writer OF the alarming note. As

Venezuelan question, the Spectator
