WHEELING DAILY INTELLGENOER TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 1881

and express willingness to consider
any suggestion which this government
may choose TO make In the direction OF
a restoration OF peace in the island.
The optimistic view which the au-
thurities take OF SPANS prospective
reply to Mr. Woodford's note is based
on the belief that there will Soon be a
new ministry In Spain composed of the
Liberals with Segasta as the premier.
But even with Sagasta In power the
authorities here do not anticipate that
Spain win be in a humor 20 entertain a
proposition for the purchase OF Cuba,
which Is now considered by everybody
as the only peaceful way In which the
Cubans can ever secure thelr lndepen-
dence.
They do expect however that the new
ministry viii cheerfully accept whatev-
er assistance the United States may
be able TO render in bringing about Il
solution of the Cuban problem which
will give the Cubans q more liberal
government than that which they now
enjoy, but which will not result In the
loss OF Spains sovereignty over the
Island And then will come the rub.
1t Is a very easy matter TO tender
good offices and comparatively easy
one to get them accepted; but as It Is
argued in certain quarters, with the
Cubans declaring they viii not accept
anything short OF complete indepen-
dence and Spain finally adhering to her
reiterated declaration that She will not
withdraw her flag from the island, the
administration will find II as difficult 10
2ehd the war peacefully as Spain has In
her efforts TO close II by force of arms,
Should the Spanish government reject
the offer of the good offices OF the Uni
red States rendered by Mr.. Woodford, II
will then be necessary for President
Mckinley to consider what shall be the
further course of this government, The
statement from Madrid that he will
make ian Ostentatious proclamation to
the world of the disapprovaf az the Gu
ban regime by suspending diplomatic
relations with Spain and Withdrawing
the United States minister" cannot be
confirmed here, and II Is believed to be
premature at least.
A member of the cabinet last night
gave your correspondent 20 understand
that the President would not act hastily
In any event, II Is probable, according
to my informant. that there would be
further correspondence between Wash
ington and Madrid, and that unless
some solution OF the difficulty should be
reached in the meantime, the President
would communicate full information to
Congress at the beginning Of the session
in December and be guided by the &C.
ton Of that body.

POSSIBILITY OF A RUPTURE

BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES
AND SPANISH GOVERNMENT ARE
VERY REMOTE.
NEW YORK, Sept 27,-A special TO
the Herald from Washington, says: The
possibility OF a rupture between the
United States and Spain growing out of
the representations recently made to
the Madrid authorities by Minister
Woodford Is regarded as very remote.
BY state department officials. Al the
time Mr.. Woodford's instructions were
written, 1t was the opinion OF the ad-
ministration officials that n tender OF
the good offices OF the United States
would be rejected by Spain. Their Views
have changed on this point. 1t is said
that the authorities are now confidently
expecting that Spain will accept the Of

ciliatorv spirit in which It was made

NEW YORK, Sept ga dispatch to

TO Pan-AmerIcan diplomats in wash

general political upheaval.

difficult to bring about,
A Pan-American diplomat who Is

that BarrIos VIII be forced TO leave the

of the strongest and most efficient sup

ar.eton L. Bronson, instructor in Greek In

and in part rewritten the popular work of Dr.
Smith which was published about thirty years

totle's work on the constitution OF the
Athenians That part of the work which deals
with the history of Greek literature the CON-

topography and the monuments of the city

book is description of the architectural and
artistic treasures of Athens. The maps, plans

SOME SHORT STORIES.

THE COMING OF THE KING-By Walter Ma
lone From the presses OF the ]. B. Lippincott
Company, Philadelphia
Walter Malone has never accomplished
much that was good in literary way, and he
probably never will. His latest book is made
up of a collection of short Stories from the
first OF which the title for the volume was
taken. From this one is led to expect much
from the book, but he is doomed TO disap.
pointment There are eight stories in the
book and it is dedicated to Edgar Fawcett.
Why, the author does not state. Mr.. Malone's
English is not good. In story entitled 'Fore-
closing the Mortgage,"ke has written: "As
Wolcott that morning rode along the country
lane, gray-haired and proud and handsome,
mounted on his spirited coal-black horse, he
was, indeed, striking figure" Mr.. Malone
has some excellent ideas, but he seems I'd lack
the ability to express them in q manner that
would pie Ease the public.

states that Tolstoi's story, Gamma Kare nina, >
although the whole force Of it is for morality,
has yet often been condemned as immoral be-
cause of the absence of the guideboard. In
the essay on "a Keats Manuscript" he shows
what careful, painstaking and repeated cor
rections such a master OF language as Keats
gave to the perfecting of single sentence. In
another on "a Shelley Manuscript" the same
slow moving OF skill to its final achievement
of SO combining sound and sense that both
brain and ear are pleased is demonstrated by
the poets erasures and interlineations. In
"a World Outside of Science" he makes some
interesting comments on the fact that the
great scientist Darwin in his later years lost
the power to enjoy poetry and music.

'Tis easy enough to be pleasant.
When life flows along like song;
But the nan worth while is the one who will
smile
When everything goes dead wrong;
For the test Of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years.
And the smile THAT is worth the praise OF earth
Is the smile that comes through tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent,
When nothing tempts you to stray:
When without or within no voice OF sin

But it's only negative virtue
Until it Is tried by fire,
And the life that is worth the honor Of earth
Is the one that ressts desire.

Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds highway is numbered to-day;
