Interest I'm WashsnSton

WAo1ANOlON, June 3, 1897.-The
resignation of the Canovas Cabinet at
Madrid excites much interest in official
quarters here, owing to it's possible effect
upon the policy of Spain toward Cuba.
and the attitude of the United States to-
ward the conflict. Minister Dupuy de
LONE will not discuss the situation pub
licly, but those who are near to him say
that he takes the change philosophically
and is not greatly surprised, as recent
events at Madrid have indicated that a
rupture was inevitable. Among officials
who are familiar with the status of af-
fairs it is believed that the change will
not involve any radical departure from
the present policy of Spain ON Cuba.
The view is expressed that the Queen
will invite Canovas to form a new min
istry and that the Premier will then over
come the friction which led UP to the
Cabinet those elements which caused the
personal rupture. Although the Duke Of
Tetuan it not likely to resume his place
felt that his influence will be a powerful
factor in shaping the foreign policy from
this time forward.
The crisis comes at q time when Madrid
is about to enter upon its period of sum
mer vactipn.- The Duke of Tetuan Will
go to Paris and Royal Family and most
of the Government leaders vii go to San
Sebastian. But little is done during this
vacation, and it is felt that the Duke of
Tetuan will continue to direct affairs dur
ing this period of inaction.
Naturally the question mas arisen as to
the effect of the change upon the stay Of
Minister I.upuy de LONE in Washington.
La the event Of a complete change Of min
istry, with a liberal premier and cabinet.
it is understood that Mr.. de LONE will
place himself at the disposal Of the new
government, SO that it will be free to
continue his services or accept his resig-
nation, as 1t sees fit. Under the diplo-
matte system Of Spain, the twelve leading
foreign, POSTS. Including all the ambassa-
doris and leading ministers, are subject
to the will of the Government, so that a
change OF cabinet may entail d change
Of foreign ministers at these twelve posts.
This depcnds however, on the circum-
stances in the country to which a. nliris-
ter is credited. It is understood that per
sonall Z Minister de LONE would be glad
to Telinquis;h the onerous duties at his
post here and return to Madrid where.
prior to hiss appointment as minister, he
had been elected to the Cortes as a Con-.

IRRITATION IN CUBA

HAVANA, June 8, 1S97-The angry feel

WEDNESDAY, APRIL IA, 1897.

In "The Landlord at Lions Head"
to be published this month by the
Harper's, Mr.. Howells has made stud
les of two distinct phases of our CIV
ilization-lfe in the rural districts of
New England, and the social life OF
Boston, with particular reference to
its relation with Harvard College. To
both he has brought his fine art at its
best development, and he has pro-
duced a novel marked by rare subt-
lety in its presentation of contrasting
types of character and by exquisite
beauty in its feeling for nature, the
opening chapters making one of the
best pictures of the New England
country ever achieved in our litera-
ture. In his hero, Jefferson Durgin,
Mr.. Howells has chosen one of those
battling types of character that he
likes to study, and he has produced a
portrait of extraordinary fidelity and
vigor. He traces young Durgin's de-
velopment from a .mischievous, little
rustic to a Harvard undergraduate,
and through the love affairs that be-
tray the conflicting elements in his
and Boston life Mr.. Howells has used
material new to fiction, and this fact
alone would make the book unusual,
even if the material were not handled
with mastery skill. Durgin's firta-
tion with the young girl of society is
managed with exquisite delicacy, and
it is made not merely interesting III
itself, but significant of the condi-
tions that allow it to be possible.
Through all these revelations runs
Mr.. Howell's satirical humor, giving
them a delicious bouyancy. Though
in its simplicity of motive, the novel
seems perfect reproduction of every
day life, it yet contains strikingly
dramatic situations, developed with
convincing naturalness from the play
of character. The very restraint with
which these are executed intensifes
their strength. Indeed, there is a
dramatic element in the hero's re-
lations with nearly all the people
around him, even with the simple
hearted young girl who loves him,
Cynthia Whitwell. Cynthia, by the
way, is one of the strongest and most
lovable women that Mr.. Howells has
introduced in fiction; in every scene
in which she figures she carries her
self with an air of quiet strength, of
simple dignity, and of unselfish de-
votion. Her father, too, is a master
ly study, with his rustic shrewdness,
and his devotion to the planchette;
and as for the young girl, Bessie
Lynde, her character has been probed
with such skill that one cannot but
marvel at the insight that penetrates
SO deeply into human motives.

Trilby died of abcess on the heart
1t is an extremely uncommon dis
ease, which is contracted only in the
autumn, and is produced by taking 6
septic germ into the system. 1t seems
as if persons never experience what
they dread most. All his life De
Maurier dreaded total blindness, yet
he died before the blow could fall
What splendid work he did with only
one eve! One wonders if it could
have been better had he been blessed
with perfect vision.
l said to him one day, "How is il
that your daughters have both mar
ried regular Du Maurier men-the
kind you have always drawn?"
"Oh," he said, with whimsical
smile, 81 brought them up to think
that was the only kind of man they
could marry"
THAT'S all very WELL" said /, but
how do you explain the fact thatyour
grandchildren are the very image OF
the children we all love so in your
drawings?"

those were the only kind of children
they could have!" 1t occurred to me
that this was triumph of mind over
matter wei worth considering!

which seemed to me very interesting
He said that in describing "Trilby' he
had in mind Miss Ellen Terry as she
was twenty years ago.

violin solos by Frank Bowlby and Franz

highly appreciated by the audience.
In the program were a number of

and those of our music loving people
who did not attend missed rare treat.

Reached he his hat from rack,
