Although apprehension as to what Gen.
woodford might have up his sleeve, has
abated somewhat in Madrid. there are
other occasions for anxiety and turmoil
which are giving the ministry and the in
fluential classes a great deal OF activity
as wen MS worry. Don Carlos who, per
sonally, never was distinguished for any
alarming amount OF good sense, has been
airing has views at Luzerne, to Carlist
interviewer. The pretender observed that
his followers intended to keep the peace
until Spain should be out of the woods in
Cuba. He also volunteered some good al
vice on the way TO reach that desirable
oonsummatiOn. According to Don Carlos,
lis oountrymen do wrong to fear the United
States. He has been over here and knows
us The Americans have men and money,
but thcre 10 not any fight in them. They
would grovelif Spain sho wed berteeth. This
is the impression made on the prince by
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Mckinley. IL may
be a mistaken one, but we are afraid it lis
becoming general. Don Carlos favors a
war of extreme suppression I'm Cuba. Per
haps he has not heard that his country has
sent 20G 600 troops there in two years,
and that the Spanish surgeon general in
Havana declares that not more than TO-
600 viii lie left and fit for duty by the
first OF the month. Don Carlos evidently
speaks with view to popularity in Spain.
but what he says does not appear to bring
it. The ministerial and the liber al papers
both show disposition to guy him. Since
the latest Carlist revolution, so thoroughly
squelched, and mostly by Martinez de
Campos. he has become a good deal of
cnromo. His utterances do not inspire CON
fid,nce. When he says that he will not
make a move until the Cuban war is settled
his political enemies do not forget that he
took prompt advantage ofsthe Ten Years
war In Cuba to attack the throne of his
cousin.

Just at the moment, Weyler is more un
popular in Madrid than Don Carlos, even.
The capture OF Victoria de las Tunas, with
its seven forts and Krupp guns, has opened
the eyes Of the Spanish nation at last. TO
something like comprehension OF what IS
trauspirlng in Cuba. and all the lying bulle
tins that the byena can cable VIII not re
deem him. The Cuban victory ia question
is a staggering blow 10 Spanish pride, and
it has revealed 10 the people the utter hope
lcssness OF the attempt to reconquer the
island. Azcarraga has warned weyler
that he must retake the place without any
sort OF delay. Also he has demanded to
know why a siege lasting over two weeks,
was allowed to proceed without any effort
70 relieve the garrison. This will be hard
thiug for Weyler IL answer. As the matter
is viewed in Havana, weyler deserted Gen.
LuQue Intentionally and left him with only
five or six thousand men, believing and
wishing that Calixto Garcia would come
along and eat him up. weyler hates Luque.
and friends OF the latter say that the disas.
aster at Victoria de las Tunas was viewed
with indifference by the Captain General,
undei the impression that the blame would
fall on his enemy. He is wiser on that score
now. His government is very angry and
may make it hot for MIN. Meantime the
subsequent proceedings of the patriots do
not tend 10 his comfort. A few days ago
the town OF Consolation del Sur, in the
provincc OF Pinar del Rio, was attacked and
captuT ell by the Cubans. A severe engage
ment, resulting ia the defeat of the Span
ish division occupying the same province,
by Gen. Ducasse, happened a day later.
The Spantards left dead. wounded, arms

The Making of a Husband.

Is a husband Just what his wife makes
him? Certainly not. She has arrived on
the scene of action too late in life to make
or inar. A husbands yoodor bad according
to early discipline. In fact, husband is
just what his mother makes him. II is
a shame that more mothers cannot be
tormented by the fruits of their bad
sowing in place of innocent wives.
From a wee shaver the undis, s,iplined
husband has been allowed full swing.
He bullied his nurse, and as he grew
Older he bullicd his mother and sisters.
OF course, lie viii bully his wife.
A boy given full license to rule the
household in which he is born gets so in
the habit OF being dictatorial that he is
actually unaware of his bad manners in
his own home circle.
Reproofs are useless. They only arouse
his indignation. Ittsodd that the unframed
man plays so cleverly the part of lover.
1t is only as husband that he shows his
cloyen foot. Restraint removed, he make
up for lost time. Truly the devil takes care
of his own. Philadelphia Inquirer.

THE NICHOLS FARMS MURDERS
Charles Bonai Confesses to killing
the Farmer and His Wife.

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. IS. There No
longer seems to be any doubt that Charles
Bonai and David Week are the murderers
Of aged Marcus Nichols, OF Nichols Farms,
for during the early hours OF July q, fol
lowing the commission of the awful crime,
Bonai trembliLelv confessed to his young
wife that with her brother, Dave Weeks,
ne had shot old man Nichols. This fact
has Just become known.
That morning, a few hours after the ter
rihlc crime, Bonai, wet and sulleu, crept
into his room, where his faithful helpmate
was anxIouGy awaiting him. She was
uneasy, and wrung the confession from
him. When the family had retired, Bonai
said in whisper:
Maggie, l have something / must tell
you." Then, step by step, act by act. he
told her of the terrible murder he and her
brother, David Weeks, had committed. He
told her why Marcus Nihcois was shot, ami
said that Marcus had a pistol ano would
have shot him had he not shot first. The
pistol, he said, would be found under the
sofa, where Ii was kick d after the shoot
ing. The pistol IL there was one, has never
been found.
There has never been any good reason
given for tho brutal murder of Marcus
Nichois The robbery could have been
achieved. IT was held by all of the de
tectives, without blcodshed, but If Marcus
Nichols did have a pistol and attempted
to use it, that may be the reason why ne
was shot.
The men were after money, Bonai ce
dared and had not intended to comInit
murder.

No doubt favored 10y the recent severe

although its spread has not been alarming,
COMPARED with what might have been eX-
pected when one considers how many peo-

twenty five blocks distant from the other

When. some time ago, Ii was ammo unced
that the King OF Siam intended to visit
Paris, there was not a little interest ex-
cited In European political and diplomatic
circles over the expected event. The later
announcement of the Franco Russian al

of the chief places where for years the con

ana Great Britain have faced each other
almost In an openly hostile manner. Each
power has done its best 10 secure the ma jor

England has regarded French pretensicns
