THE SPANISH POLICY.
Azcarraga Will Continue That o

Azcarraga Will Continue That of
: Castillo.
London, Aug. 26.-A dispatch to the
Standard says: Gen. Azcarraga, the
new premier, desires to continue the
policy of his predecessor, Senior Cano-
vas del Castillo, as far as possible, and
does not apprehend any complications.
He is confident that the United States
will preserve it's present attitude Of
cordial friendship and will not insist
upon mediation. Spain would not re-
fuse to submit to a commission the
settlement of claims of American citi-
zens in Cuba IL on the understanding
that only the damage suffered at the
hands Of her forces and authorities
were to be the subject Of mediation,
and reserving all her counter-claims
arising from flibustering.
"Should Minister Woodford be in
structed to demand autonomy, Spain
would reply that autonomy would have
been granted long ago had the Cubans
ceased to receive from the United
States the moral and material assis-
lance enabling them to prolong the
struggle, and had they ceased to de-
mand absolute independence"

There are many ways Of keeping the

A magnificent tomb, a monument,
statue was the ancient way. To erect
memorials that will bless mankind,
while recalling a name that deserves
the honor of posterity, is a modern
idea. One of the pleasantest and most
merited tributes of this sort is the
setting apart of Elmwood, the home
stead of James Russell Lowell, in Cam
bridge, as a public park. The project
bids fair to succeed; and until a degen-
crate age shall dispose of the land for
money, the public pleasure ground will

FORT MAUDE FALLS
CAPTURED BY THE AFRIDIS AFTER
DESPERATE FIGHTING,
The Garrison Retired With the LOAs
of Three Meu-Fort Burned by Its
Captors-FOrt Ali Musjid Also At
t0cked-Gen. EllOs viii Begin a
Concerted Movement Against the
TribesMeM Three Chiefs Cap
tured.

/ London, Aug. e. - An official dis
patch from Silu:a announces that Fort
Maude, In the Kh:5cr pass, has been
captured by the AIltdis after desperate
fighting. The garrison, which was
composed of native le,iss known as
the Khyber rifles, retire;i with loss
Of three men. The Afridis afterward
burned the fort. The fate Of Fort Ali
Musjid, which was simultaneously at
tackled by the Afridis, is not known.
The British officer commanding at
Jamarud moved n battery Of artillery,
escorted by the Fourth dragoors, to
the mouth of the Khyber pass and
shelled the enemy at range of 5000
yards. The Afridis retired, but the
battery returned to Jamarud, the Of
ficer in command deeming it inadyisa-
BILE to enter the pass. Gen. Ellos will
begin concerted movement against
the insurgent tribesmen at once.
At the same time that Fort Maude
was abandoned the Khyberer rifle gar
risoned at Fort Jeangera were COM
PEELED to abandon that place. The
area of active fighting is charging rap
idly. The Afridis attacked with great
determination the fortified post at
Sudda but were not successful in cap
turing it.
1t is admitted even in official circles
in London that the news from India
is Of the gravest description. All those
who are familiar with the situation
attach the greatest Importance to the
rising of the warlike Afridis who are
estimated to muster $4,000 fighting
lEen. The Afridis, however, only form
part of the insurgents. A letter from
India, published in the Standard, en-
phasizes the belief that the sultan of
Turkey is at the back of the whole up
rising.
