MARIA CHRISTINA, QUEEN REGENT OF SPAIN,
handsome residence Is villa in the
outskirts Of Havana, in the quarter
called the Cerro. the aristocratic resort
Of the city. Sanguilly expressed his
gratitude to the queen for the grace
Of pardon, which greatly surprised him.
He said that he never thought that he
would be pardoned. Sanguilly said the
first news Of the pardon reached him
through cable received from Secre-
tary Of State Olney, saying: advise
Sanguilly's defender to withdraw his
appeal and facilitate pardon"
Evidence Of Christmas Good VIII.
Sanguilly believes the pardon waS9due
to desire on the part of her majesty
to demonstrate her good will towards
President Cleveland and Secretary Oh
ney for services rendered. On this ac-
count the preliminaries to the pardon
were probably FASTENED SO that the an
nodncement might be made during the
terms Of Office Of Cleveland and Oh
ney. Sanguilly is we'll preserved in spite
Of his two years of Imprisonment. He
seemed very grateful to all of the off,
GERS Of the Cabanas fortress, compli-
menting even the minor officials and
mentioning especially the chiefs of staff
Of the fort for many courtesies shown
to him. He had no complaint to make
except in the matter of the imprison-
ment itself.
Hopes To He Allowed to Return.
Sanguilly will be accompanied to the
United States by his wife. Son and
adopted daughter. He will 60 to
Tampa. where he will remain for a
few days on account Of the delicate
health Of his wife. He will not settle
permanently in New York, as his wife
Is obliged to live in a hot climate. San
gully hopes that when the island of
Cuba is pacified he will be allowed to re.
turn.
Grateful to thestate Department.
Although no hostile acts on the part
| Of the populace towards Sanguilly have
| been reported as expected, nevertheless
precautions to protect him have been
adopted. Before the Associated Press
| correspondent left Sanguilly's residence
he asked the correspondent to make
public his gratitude to the state depart
ment, to the American consul general
and to all those contributing to his liber-
ty. He expressed satisfaction with the
American press for the great interest
| shown in his cause.

eteel Rails the Most Important ElsGnG
of the Market-Week's Failures.
New York, Feb. 27.-Bradstreet'ssa say1I
The placing of orders for nearly 1.500. 900
tons of steel within the past three weeks
Is the most important influence for i'm
provement in general trade since the
November election. The contracts for
steel rails taken since the break in the
poDce, together with expenditure neces-
eary to lay the rails. means the placing
in circulation no less than So, 900, ,000
The meaning Of sales Of rails for export
has been exaggerated. as some orders
placed abroad were due to English mills
being temporarily engaged on other
forms Of steel. The rush for rails ap-
pears to be about over, and the outlook
is for higher prices.
Consumption Of Bessemer pig iron Is
in excess Of production, and wire and
wire nail mills are running full time
Many woolen mills in New England
have started up. Manufacturers are
buying in expectation of a duty being
placed on raw wool. Recent improve
ment in cotton goods is maintained. Al
most cities there has been no change in
the volume or temper OF trade. Demand
has been quiet. and while expectations
favor an early improvement, progress
thus far has been somewhat disappoint-

The Former DahIia Craze.

The dahlia, named after the famous
Swedish botanist Dahl, appeared early
in this century. and was as popular in
the flower garden as were the camellias
and fuchsias in the greenhouse, and
still holds its own. This plant, which
is a native of Mexico, was practically
introduced into England by Lady Hol-
land in 1904. as it had been lost since
its first appearance some fifteen years
previously, when Lady Butte imported
it from Spain. During the first forty
years of it's popularity double dahlias
were all the fashion, and since then
the single varieties have had their day.
While at the present time the new cac-
tus kinds hold the foremost place. A
florist writing about 1880 compared
the fashion for dahlias, which was
then at its hight, to the tulip mania
two centuries earlier, and although the
comparison is hardly correct, it shows
the dahlia craze must have been very
marked to have even suggested it

which it is to be hoped that their agony
IS at an end
The behavior of the young women is

ceiving proposals of marriage.
On the other hand so out of every
100 know very well what the men nave
come for. and hence they are not taken
unaware. and they behave just as they
should behave on such momentous
occasion. Furthermore, 80 per cent.
look their wooers boldly in the eyes,
evidenIy with the idea either of still
further bewitching them, or of relleV-

most curious fact of all is that one

before the young man has finished his
pretty love tale, with the object of tell

1t is pleasant to know Mat wooing
in England is, as a rule, the preliminary
to a long and happy union. The latest
statistics show that the average an

does not exceed 575. which is certainly

Englishmen and Englishwomen who
marry each year is computed at 450,-
