army in Cuba would come handy in the
event of rupture with this country, but
it would only prolong the inevitable. The
presumption is, though, that Weyler is
simply playing "bluff'' game. Doubt
less he thinks this country would go
little slow in the direction Of recognizing
Cuban belligerency if it knew that 100000
fresh Spanish soldiers were about to form
a base of offensive and defensive opera
tions, but if it is "bluff" game he is
playing he is wasting great deal of gray
matter.
There are two things General Weyler
should inform himself Of The sympathy
that is going out to the insurgents is not
prompted so much by desire to see the
rebels succeed as by the brutal methods
that Weyler employs. His conduct of the
war is so UNANIMOUSLY cruel and his encour-
agement of the most diabolical attacks
upon non-combattants has so embit-
tered our people against him per-
sonally and as the representative
of the Spanish Government that they
would espouse the cause of Cuba,
right or wrong. The other thing OF which
General Weyler should inform himself
is that any attempt at "bluff' with the
people, of this country would make any
settlement of the differences now existing
between the United States and Spain i'm
possible, except that his country should
submit and obey any demands that this
country might see fit to impose.
Weyler is altogether too fond of leaning
defenseIess men up against dead wall and
shooting them to death to commend him
self or his cause to any feeling of the people
of this country, except the feeling which
creates an intense desire to 60 to Cuba and
wind up the earthly career of every one of
Spain's hirelings, from the captain-general
down. The Spanish official who said the
other day that after the Inauguration of
William Mckinley Spain would have to do
right by Cuba or fight is pretty wise man.

mote our merchant marine service is be-
yond question. All the greater nations of
the world grant subsidies to their steam
ship lines and as result have built them
up at the cost of our commerce. 1t is by
reason of her liberal grants to ships that
England has made herself virtually the
mistress of the commerce OF the world and
added so much to her wealth and power.
While the British have been extending
their mercantile marine in that way, we
have been doing practically nothing and
as a consequence American goods are car
ried in English vessels to foreign markets
and our rightful trade has been lost to us.
San Francisco has much at stake in this
issue. This City should be the center OF
Pacific Ocean commerce, and American
ships should carry and bring from and to
this port the goods that are interchanged
between the Orient and the West. At the
present time, however, cotton from the
fields of Texas is carried to Japan by way
of Liverpool, when a route through San
Francisco would save journey of thou
sands of miles. So, also, we lose the great
trade of South America by reason OF the
lack of American ships to carry American
goods to those markets on terms that can
compete with British goods.
Mr.. Samuels has made his argument so
brief it can be read by even the busiest
men and so clear it can be understood by
even the least comprehending. He makes
it plain that the object to be attained is
one of patriotism as well as business. in
asmuch as merchant marine of fleet
steamships would be of great use to US in
time of war, and on this double plea
rightly and Justly urges the Importance of
imm ediate action on the part of the Gov
ernment in putting our shipping On equal
terms with that of any other nation on
the gl ODE.

Grand opera has received a severe blow in
the death of Sir Augustus Harris, in the very
height of the London musical season. He
was one of the few impresarios who could
make grand opera pay. and that was owing to
his wide experience and dauntless energy. A
dozen years ago opera was becoming lostart

Druryolanus,' as he was popularity called.
after his theater of Drury Lane, declared that
he would revive the opera enthusiasm which
had been ruined by the star system. He Sc
cured fine company, but his troupe did not
include Patti, and the public had been edu-
Gated to consider that Patti was grand opera,
and grand opera was Patti. The immediate
result of his venture was that in six weeks he
lost $4,000. At first Augustus Harris con-
eluded that he had buried grand opera, and
that the ceremony was rather costly, but the
next season he was persuaded to make another
venture, and that time London began to see

WOMAN'S WAYS.

Dear summer maid, Pm half afraid,
Despite my store of reason,
Again you'll take my heart to break,
Just as you did last season.
For be you fair or dark of hair,
find myself enraptured;
Your sidelong glance cuts like lance,
And L straightway am captured.
At other times, wed to my rhymes,
well may laugh az Cupid
Content that girls should shake their curls
And pass me by as stupid.
But when the haze of warmer days
Announces summer burning,
I'm out of sorts and feel my thoughts
Loveward go lightly turning.
And while know you'll bring me woe,
With heart light as a feather,
AT your dear call give up all,
So we may be together.
How time will fiyl You say good-by
With some word lightly spoken;
For well you may be blithe and gay
It's not your heart that's broken.

MIR. Bradley,s Derenss.


Mr.. Darwin Bradley, mention of whose
marriage to Mrs. Minnie Angel was
made in THE CHRoN1cLE few days ago,
called at the office on Saturday, and de-
sires few words said in palliation or
explanation of his late matrimonial
venture. While denying none of the
essential facts as stated in the issue
of March 10th, he deplores the coloring
in which they are given, as leading to
wrongful Interpretation, when not taken
in connection with other points of the
brief family history which led to the
marriage last week.
Mr.. Bradley says the divorce did not
arise from any suspicion on the part Of
Mr.. Angel of unfaIthfulness; that there
bad been domestic trouble for years be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. Angel, and the di-
vorce would have resulted if che had
never known Bradley. The latter says
that Mr.. Angel and himself were always
the best of friends, and are to this day.
The Bradley family had lived in another
house, on the farm, for which he regu-
larly paid rent, and in that house Mrs
Bradley died. He says it is true he has
been in hard circumstances, but that
it was his intention to pay his obliga-
tions to the last dollar. He Gays, also,
that there has been great deal of un-
founded talk, or gossip, concerning his
relations with Mrs. Angel. He brands
it all as falsehood, and resolved by mar
rying Mrs. Angel and taking up his resi-
dence in The Dalles, to live down the
bad name 60 gratuitously given him, in
stead of rnnning off to other fields. He
did not become engaged to Mrs. Bradley
until after the divorce was granted
January 18th. The engagement was by
letter, both agreeing that the best course
to pursue in the matter was to become
married and settle down in the commu-
nifty where they had been DETAINED and
live it down by a life of unimpeachable
integrity. The marriage so soon, Mr..
When Mrs. Angel arrived from Silver
ton her coming was in the interest Of
getting two of her children, which the
court allowed her the custody Of She
did not appear in defense OF the divorce
suit, and Angel was granted the divorce
by default. But after arriving, Bradley
sought her, telling her of the scandalous
talk going around concerning them, and,
acting upon the advice of friends who
recommended him to become married at
once, he urged her to do so. She agreed.
Tho tale is told. Mr.. Bradley hoped
that he would be able to remain in The
Dalles and make living; but he is
afraid the community has become so
prejudiced they will not assist him by
giving him employment in his profess
sion, and thus possibly compelling him
to go elsewhere to make living.
