A Bout with Max Beerbohm.

A recent interviewer of Max Beerbohm
quotes that interesting and rather apie
person as saying that he talks with press
men, only because ii is amusing 10 MN
to read the misrepresentation that appear
i'm next days paper This may or may not
throw some light on certain other state
ments which Mr.. Beerbohm is said TO nave
made. Speaking of his life at Oxford, he
called it "a provincial little place, peopied
with schoolmasters, where the inhablt-
ants care always spending afternoons 40
inc things in flannel" 1t seems that Mr.
Reerbohm tried to found there Johnso-
Man salon, whose members were to call
each other "sir." and in the evening have
q chop at the Miter, but the scheme failed.
Of Dayidson's ballads this was said: Il
am very fond of his verse-its expression
is so perfect. / confess, though, can't In
the least understand his philosophy. When
ever any of his poem people have done any
thing wrong. he canonizes them and makes
them happy. 1t Is just as If some little
haberdashers assistant in the Brompton
road had stolen piece of cloth, ana the
omniscient Mr.. William Whiteley, getting
TO hear of it, had at once made him fore
man in his shop"
Another interesting revelation Is that
"the little controversies which always crol
ND when l have given fresh work OF ART
| TO London are the only compensation foi
the bore of producing them. hate writing
1T is very distasteful to me indeed. III
conclusion Mr.. Beerbohm warned the In
terviewer not to make his article too short
"I must warn you," he said, "agains

most OF which have been captured from Span

dependence with tho Cuban insurgents. says
Younger, in speaking Of tho brutalitics OF the
Spaniards.
"Thcre arc but few pitched battles being
fought here" says he, for when a Spanish
column starts out from q fortified city to search
for q Cuban camp they always make sure that
there arc from thrcc to five Spanish soldiers to
every Cuban known to be In that vicinity. but the
Cubans bushwhack them and haras3 them until
they return. In fact, 1t reminds me OF some
skirmishcs we used to have In New Mexico with
the ApachGs, with the exception that an Apache
seldom mutilates the body OF his victim after he
is suro that ho is dead. whilo with Spanish
soldiers 1t is usually the reverse. They
will often cut of tho hands and feet Of tho
dead left on tho battlefield and often
hack the bodies to pieces with their ma
Chetes and then loave the dead o. both sides un-
buried. Women whose husbands, and young
girls whose brothers or fathers, are in tho Cuban
army, are taken prisoners and confined in vile
prisons called houses Of refuge, where they are
subjected to tho NEST dustardly crimes known.
Then they shoot them or burn them. In q nun.
Der of cases Cuban girls from 10 to IA years Of
ngo have been taken prisoners and put up at
auction in the villages and sold 10 tho highest
bidder-to vilo mon. This must have boon in

THE Christian people of America md tho

and plantations worth thousands of dollars have
