MADRID. June as.-The profoundcst sensation has been caused here by the news of the alleged purport of report by United Statos Consul General Lee to Pros ldent Cleveland bn tho state of affairs In Cuba, which report Is said to be on the way from Havana to Washington,
 The effect of the intelligence is difficult to exaggorate
 All elusscs of the community are greatly wrought up, but the oommotion is espe- cially great sa parliamentary and political circles.
 The lobbios of tho senate were extreme " animated just before Senator Comas be- gan an energetic anti American speooh on moving an ameudmont to the address In reply to the speech from the throne asking the government to annul all treaties be- tween Spain and the United States.
 The impression is general among poli- tioians and military men that the govern ment will be requested to withdraw Com sul General boo's exequatur if he really has expressed opinions as unfayorablo to Spanish rule in Cuba ns rumor credits him with having done.
 The minister of the colonies introduced In the oortes a bill authorizing the Rov- ernment to oxpend In tho war in Cuba as much of the colonial and imperial reve- nues may be necessary to secure sroooss and also authorizing it to negotiate un- limited loans or credit.
 The Madrid press continues to lay much stress upon the olueer relations likely to | be established botwoen Spain, Franco and Russia when occasion arises. The mark edly friendly welcome given to tho French feet in the ports of north Spain Is hailed by Spaniards as happy omon.

hammer There was heard the sound of crash crashl crash as the mass of ircn rose and fell at regular intervals-that sounded above the monotonous hum of the machinery.
 ''He will thrust her under the ham, mer!'
 So thought each guard and each con- vict-so thought the father, whose feet seemed chained to the floor and whose face was winter than the dead. One of the guards could have touched a button and signaled the engineer to shut off steam, but he did not move hand. Either guard had fair mark to shoot at, but their pistols were not lifted. Up and down-up and down went the ham, mer, but suddenly the belt was thrown over on the loose pulley and the mass rested on the anvil. It seemed to those who looked as if they had been looking through a mist -such a mist as rises from earth of summer morning. It seemed to them that this mist thinned out-cleared away before the influence of rising sun, and by and by they saw the child nestling on Big Tom 8 hairy breast, one hand smoothing his cheek, and seeming to come from a long dis tance off they heard her childish voice saying:
 ''No, you wouldn't hurt NeIie-you wouldn't hurt Nellie! What makes you cry? Have you got little girl too? Won't they let you go home to see your little girl?" e..a
 And the convicts advanced step by step. and the guards crept forward, and lol Big Tom s tears were falling as he hugged the child more tightly and kiss ed her fair hair and rosy cheek. There was silence yet-silence as he walked to and fro and wept and sobbed and lifted the child till she could clasp her tiny arms about his neck and rest her cheek against his. Not a whisper among the convicts-not move from father or mother ol the guards. By and by Big Tom placed the child in its father s arms, wiped the tears from his eyes on the sleeve of his striped jacket, and with "God bless the little darlingr and "Thank ye, sir p he returned to his work, and the hammer was lifted and held in waiting for the hot iron to be placed on the anvil beneath.
 The guards motioned for the other convicts to go back to their benches and forges, and a minute later the visitors had gone and work was in full blast. The long expected outbreak had come and gone. For 80 seconds Big Tom had felt such a raging hate in his soul that he was transformed into human devil. The child had smiled into his burning eyes-her soft touch had lulled him her words had brought back his reason. Was he punished? No A year later he was pardoned. and today another fair haired, blue eyed, smiling child puts her arms about his neck and says:
 "You are such a great, big papa, but you wouldn't never hurt nobody, would ?''-Detroit Free Press.

Played Poker In . Poorhouse.

There has been a pronounced stand taken against gambling in some quar- ters at Portsmouth recently. The fire and police departments have been or dered to abandon card playing, and a full grown poker game has been broken up at the infirmary.
 It appears that several of the inmates receive small pensions and others earn a trifle occasionally for tobacco money by outside work. They have lately been losing most of it to some of their fellow unfortunates who are skilled in the manipulation of the cards They used crackers and grains of coffee as chips and played in the basement of the build ing. A poker game in a penthouse might be considered sufficiently unusual to be worth permitting to proceed as a curiosity, but Superintendent Mershon thought not and placed the participants under discipline.

How the 'Slopper" Goes His Rounds Pick
 ing Up Unconsidered Triies.
 "That man is a stopper" marked police officer to Star writer few mornings since, land he and his class give us any amount of trouble. If he stole, we could reach him by the law, but as he only finds, we cannot easily reach him." In further explanation, he said: "A stopper is a man who searches through the garbage cans in the alleys in the rear of hotels, boarding houses and private houses Some only search for spoons, knives and forks that are thrown into the garbage receptacle by careless servants, for it is fact that there are more silver spoons and knives and forks thrown away with the gar bage than are stolen by servants, though the contrary is generally believed The stopper is generally an hour or so ahead of the garbage collector, and he is often more regular and careful in his rounds than the garbage man.
 By industry we thrive, as the line in the copy books used to maintain, and by industry on a good west end route, especially one which takes in a number of boarding houses or hotels, a stopper can find enough table ware to pay the expenses of his tour. Often he makes a rich find Very frequently he has per mission to 'slop' the can from the own CTS of the houses themselves. for he tells them he is on the lookout for stray pieces of meat, etc., which he sells to those who have dogs to feed Some shoppers are honest enough to return any silverware they may find for the dog meat privilege, but it is terrible temptation to many, and one they can not or do not at times withstand D.

Rules For Dining Out.

Ths man who would dine out often and attend to his business, too, must lay down four rules for himself and obey them:
 He must eat very little. and only of the solids that are placed before him.
 He must drink very little.
 He must smoke very little.
 He must never, never eat a late sup per.
 Happy the man who does obey them He learns the best thoughts of the best people in the free conversation before dinner, in conversation during dinner and in that most delightful conversa- tion after dinner. He learns public sen- timent. he puts himself in touch with public thought. At dinner, with agree able and clever people around the board, a man learns more than he would by a month of study. - Chauncey M. Depew.
