fines. For three days he pressed this
view, hat he was overcome by a ma

The thorny path thy feet have pressed
The Sayiour's bleeding feet have
tTod;
He knows the pain that pierced thy
breast,
Forgive, and leave it all with God.
Forgive. and peace will surely bring
Hearts-ease to bloom along thy way,
And happy hope again viii! sing,
And sorrows night be turned to-day.
Revenge would scar thy tender heart
And leave the sky forever dim.
Oh, trust the Lord to do his part,
Forgive, and leave it all with him.
Forgive, before it he too late,
And though thy pardon be unscught
Fer injured pride will turn to hate;
With love alone can love be bought
The lips we love will silent lie
When covered b. weight Of sod,
And answer no, our hearts Wild cry,
Forgive, and leave K all with God.

NEW YORK, May A dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says;
Despite denials from official circles
that the Pope, through the nuncio here,
has urged Spain to accept America s
mediation in Cuban affairs, there is an
impression, especially among military
men and Cuban representatives, that
the report is true.
1t is considered certain here that the
explosion in the Governor Generals
palace in Havana was caused by sep
aratists. Those in Cuba, and also those
in Paris, have made no secret lately of
their intention to try to put General
Weyler out of the way.
A special from Rome to the Herald
says:
Nothing is known at the Spanish en-
bassy here regarding the alleged medi-
alton of the Pope on the Cuban ques-
ZION. Cardinal GaliTnberti is seriously
i'll, suffering from an affection OF the
larynX.
dispatch to the Herald from Ha-
Vana says:
Antonio Maceo is anxious to cross the
trotha and unite with General Gomez.
He is said to find it difficult to find pro-
visions in Pinar del Rio sufficient to
supply his army. 1t was proposed that
the men who are natives of the prov
ince. mainly whites, surrender their
horses to the men he took there, nearly
all of whom are negroes, and also give
them nearly all their scant supplies ana
as hard fighting is expect
ed in crossing the trocha. Objections
were made on every side and no at
tempt was made to carry out the plan.

RESULT OF CONSPIRACY

Assassin Was Follower of Political
Agitator.
TEHERAN, May At has been def
nitely ascertained that the assassin of
the late Shah of Persia, Nazra-ed-Din,
is Mollah Reza, a follower of the well
known agitator, Sheikh Jem Alledin,
who was exiled in 1894 after having
been convicted of high treason.
Since his arrest for the murder of the
Shah, Reza has been closely questioned
by the judicial authorities. At first he
professed to have acted entirely on his
own account and in the interests of his
people, to whom, he claimed, reforms
to which they were justly entitled had
been refused. Later, however, the pris-
oner confessed that the assassination
of the Shah was the outcome of de-
liberate and long planned conspiracy,
and that he was chosen to do the deed.
He added that he had waited for two
months for a favorable opportunity
TO shoot the Shah, which confirms the
in their belief that the con-
spiracy was hatched in Constantinople,
as it is about two months since ReZa
left that city for Teheran. The as
sassin also admitted that upon many
occasions he succeeded in approaching
the late Shah under various disguises,
but that it vas not until Friday last
that he was near enough to fire the fatal
shot

GENERAL LEE Is READY.

Makes Hasty Preparations to Go to
Cuba.
RICHMOND, Va, May 24.-Generai
Fitzhugh Lee qualified last night be-
fore a United States commissioner as
Consul General to Cuba. On Monday
night General Lee received telegram
from Secretary Olney asking him when
he could leave for Cuba. He replied
that he could arrange to go in few
days-that is, if the State Department
would forward the necessary papers to
be executed at Richmond, he would lose
no time in getting ready. A large pack
age, containing among other things the
oath of allegiance and form of bond,
came in the morning, General Lee has
arranged with a Baltimore company for
his bond, and he filled up this paper and
mailed it. He will get his final in
structions from President Cleveland on
either Friday or Saturday, and it is
probable that he will go to Havana next
week.

LONDON, May lit would be diff
cult to overestimate the sensation caus-
ed in England by the publication of the
substances of the kilograms and docu-
ments which came into the possession
of the authorities of the South African
Republic The weight of evidence which
they furnish against the persons to
whom they are addressed, and by whom
they we're signed, as to those persons
being engaged in the conspiracy to
overthrow the Transvaal, is admitted
to be crushing. The press very gener-
ally condemns them. But strenuous eff
orts are being made to prevent sweep
ing condemnation of the authorities of
Cape Colony and the authorities of the
British South African Chartered Com
pany further than the individuals in
cluded in the documentary evidence.

MANAGUA, May 4.-The President of
the rebels, General Baca, sent a COM
mittee of foreign merchants of Leon to
President Zelaya and to the American
Minister, Lewis Baker, who arranged
for terms of peace. President Zelaya

This was finally agreed to, and the gov

the insurgents, who surrendered all of
their ammunition. The rebel leaders,
their President and their various Min

been established. The port of Corinto
will be opened to commerce in a few
days. 1t is expected that the American
cruiser Alert will sail north soon.

SNIALLPON VACCINATIONS.

Epidemic shows How Lives May be

LONDON, May 1.-The smallpox cpl
demic in Gloucester is interesting from
a vaccination point of view. Out of 366
cases, 207 had never been vaccinated
15S had been vaccinated only in in
fancy, and only one had been revac-
cinated. OF 81 deaths 20 were unvac-
cinated and the remaining II had been
vaccinated only as babies. Further
more. the unvaccinated who were so
fortunate as to escape death will be hor-
ribIy marked for life. The people of
Gloucester read the moral in these facts
and no less than 10000 persons have
been vaccinated there since the out
break of the Ioathsome epidemic.

he renewed struggles unless reforms

Mr.. Benedict is very close to Mr.

entertained the slightest idea Of being
a candidate for reelection. We have
always felt equally sure that II he de-
sired a denomination, the party would

which jefferson thought dangerous
