not TO do. and taken the higher road.
There was nothing for 1t but to go for

cautious when the road began to dip again.
While still on the ascent, he passed vari-

nothing of the buildings themselves but
an occasional light in the windows, he
Judged from the gates and the tall snow
laden evergreens which formed a screen
parallel with the road, to be villas and
ornamental cottages.
Just as, after a few yards of particu-
iariy steep ascent, the road took a pretty
sharp turn to the left, a long, low-built
house, standing back only a few feet from
the road, but on ground so much higher
as to give 1t an imposing appearance Of
dignity, sprang quite suddenly into view.

forward into the darkness, watching eaS-
erly for the junction with the coach road.
The snow was now falling in larger f1akes\
than ever, and just as he got on to more
level ground he slipped and fell into a
deep drift by the side of the road. Arma-
thwnite soon extricated himself, but the
tumble had made him lose his bearings
and it was only by the direction of the
wind that he was able TO fix with any cer-
fhinty the course he was keeping. 1t
seemed to be growing darker. Then a
cracking on each side of him reused his
attention to the fact that he was among
eparsely scattered trees, and Mt the same
time the uneyen1ess of the ground told
him that he WAS off the road. He stopped
a moment, and proceeded n little way

growing more broken and more steep. but

SP4IN'S FINANCIAL PLIGHT.

Weyler NAV rayagc Cuba and Rivera the
Philippines, but neither, nor both of them, can
save the Spanish treasury from depletion. That
is the most significant feature of the case to-day
BY The end of this month all available funds for
prosecuting the war will be exhausted. What
will be done then? 4 foreign loan is impossible
Can another domestic loan be raised? 1t is
doubtful. TO repeat the wild burst Of patriotic
enthusiasm which made the last loan success
would require the skill of greater magician
tlan any at Madrid or some more stirring deeds
than Weyler is likely TO perform at the begin
ming of the fever season. But if money cannot
be raised? Then the war will have to cease.
There Is no alternative.
The exceptionally judclous and we-lnformed
Madrid correspondent of "The London Stand
ard" declares that the expense of the Cuban
war has for some time exceeded S10.0O0OO0
month. and Of the Philippine, S2,o00,0OO. Early
In the Cuban war the Cortes authorized the use
Of all that could be realized from some $40 600.
600 remaining from the Cuban bond issue of
1890. Next ii authorized the raising Of more
money by mortgaging The State revenues. Down
10 the middle of 1895 the Government raised,
from these two sources, some SG6, 10000 and
in the latter half Of that year SG0000000 more.
7 hen S74 100000 came from the popular loan
Of last November. But AT the beginning Of this
year less than S45,O00,O00 remained in the treas
ury, and every pcseta Of that will be gone be-
fore the Cortes meets next month
Now, all this expense IS charged against Cuba.
That Is 10 say, the Cuban debt has been in
creased thus far in this war by over 5000, OOO,-
COO. II Cuba be again subjected to Spanish
rule, 1t will be taxed to pay the interest on and

THE STRATEGY OF THE GREEhS.

Whether the Greek Government or Herei! uic
National League is respor sible for IL. the ih'a
sion of Macedonia is uncommonly wen pi"nnou
its strategy Is obvious, but II IS adnirauie' anu
worthy of the shrewdest captain mat ever ieu
Greek arms TO victory. Perhaps II VIII not pe
successful. The Turks outnumber the creeks
by about four to one and have the advantages
of German leadership in the field and German
and Russian sympathy behind the scenes, While
the Greeks stand entirely alone Nevertheless,
Greece has stood alone before this. without
falling. and this movement upon Greyena, II
properly followed up may cause the Turks and
their allies the worst quarter of an hour they
have had since the fall of PlevDa.
Reference TO the map shows the reason OF this
The peninsula is divided longitudinally by the
Findus mountain range. On the eastern she
the Turks have their headquarters ut Elassona,
and their base of supplies at Salonca, the latter
being connected with Constantinople by rail
On the western side their headquarters are mt
Janina. But they have no base of supplies on
that side of the mountains. Everything must
be sent over from Salonlca, by way of Elassona,
or by q longer route. Now, the Pindus range Is
about 1000 feet high, steep and rugged. There
is only one available pass across it, that OF
Zygos, Just above Metsovo, and that is traverse
Bile only by pedestrians and horses. not by ve-
hices That is the only direct route Of COM
munication between Elassona and Janina.
Now the Greeks have made dash along the
eastern side OF Pndus, and have cut that line
Of communication between the two wings OF
the Turkish Army. If they gain and fortify the
pass it will be permanently cut, for 1t would
take long and arduous campaign TO dslodge
them from Zygos Then the bulk Of their army
can advance from Arta, as IL is now reported 70
be doing, attack and probably vanqush the
Turks at Janina, and overrun Epirus at Will
Edhem Pacha AT Elassona will be poweTless TO
prevent them. unless by long detour around
the PinduS range either TO north or to south
If he should march north, into Albania, he would
be abandoning the Nstritza Valley TO Greek
advance. which might imperil Salonca Itself
If he should march south. he would be invading
Greece and would have to fight every step OF
the way.
There Is report that he will advance upon
Larissa and thus will either compel the Greeks
70 return from Macedonia to defend that place,
or will actually capture it and thus bring Greece
10 terms. Yes. But he would thus be exposing
himself TO great danger The Greeks might
readily send force from Volo either overland
or by sea to the Vale of Tempe, where they al
ready have a fortified post, and, advancing
thence up the Pcneus, strike him In flank or
rear The fact is, the Greeks have at every
point such advantage of position as largely
makes up for their numerical inferiorty. The
war if war come. may not be by any means
the one-sided affair the anti-Greek alliance
hopes it will be.

COURAGE AND LOQUICITY.

The question whether the ancient Greeks were
really brave is raised by The Boston Herald
In that paper 4 critic is permitted to say that
whenever Ulysses got caught and dragged into
a cave by CyclOps he walled and wrung his
hands in agony: and at every mshap his sail
ors wept on each others necks as though 1heir
hearts would break Moreover, the Greeks dow
cred their gods with the same tendency to make
a hulabaloO over trouble. Wound one OF them
with a spear and sraightway he begins TO bel
low like the bull of Bashan till the whole battle
field is filled with the sound OF his voice.
This in brief. is the charge against the ancient
Greeks which THE Herald properly shows
might be made with equal truth against the mod
| ern Greeks, and in fact. against all southern
races. In other words, the eXuGerant manresia-
ton Of feeling which the critic regards as an
evidence Of something like cowardce is no such
thing On the contrary, those ancient Greeks
who yelled so Justify over some misfortune. or,
perhaps made an Unfortunately long speech
about IT, We're really men of true courage To
the more reserved people of Northern races their
loquacty and their readiness TO expose their feel
ings 10 all the world can only be explained on
the score of pusillanimity: but the real eXpana-
ton is 10 he found in temperament. II is natural
for people of the Greek and Latin races 10 re-
veal their feelings. 1t would never occur 10 them
10 do anything else. But, on the other hand,
II Is lust as natural for the Northern races 10
conceal their feelings. Curiously enough, the
Greeks themselves in the Spartans, gave the
world an example Of this power 10 suffer pam
| or endure trouble without whmperng: and the
story of the Spartan boy who allowed the fox 10
| prey on his vitals rather than beiray It's pres
ence. though told Of Greek, does not reveal the
temperament Of that race as do the stories OF
Homer's old heroes who rend the air with their
Mutations and speeches. but who, nevertheless,
when it comes to the point, show themselves to
be heroes indeed.
II must be confessed that the silent. stoical
courage of tho Anglo-Saxon race appeals 10 us
ms something fine: but that may be because we
are by temperament unable 10 appreciate any
other way of acting Doubtless the grim silence
of a Northern hero would appear very unlovely
10 a child of the South. TO whom hero would
seem all the more splendid because he was not
ashamed 10 show against what odds Of physical
pain and mental perturbation he achieved his
heroic deed. That Is the whole matter in a nut
she'll Neither can wholly understand the other.
The Anglo-Saxon loves TO conceal the inten-
sity Of his feelings under a thick mantle of in
difference as an insoluble enigma to his brother
from the South. And. on the other hand there
will doubtless he some cold-blooded Northerners
who will fail TO understand the heroic impulse
that is now animaIing the Greek nation, and
Will only see in the incident an absurd bit of
buresque. in which funny and loquaciOus men
wearing accordion-pleated skirts are the chief
actors.
