Tondon Aug. 9. - A Spanish diplo-

Senior Canovas del Castillo, the span.
ish premier, informs the correspondent
of the Associated Press that II Is USE
less longer to disguise the fact that tue
Spanish ministry is in a very llShl
place He says:

only SO long as our funds last, anu Inc
time when they will fail is almost III

nroud a race TO do so at anybody $ de-
mand: but we can do so by pleaulh9

States. Such a result naturally Would
be very unpleasant to us; put III orue,
to prevent q revolution IN Spain anu
the overthrow of the monarchy, war Is
the only way out.
1.-The premier knows from president
Mckinley direct that the president per-
sonally does not want war and wishes
to save MS from the cost and the blood
shed But his cabinet only partly
shares his views, while the senate, the
house. the American press, and ire
people of the United States favor d SET

president Mckinley. however,Whlle

not shrinking from war, ftp eace meas

pendent course which Gen. Woodford
will pursue His instructions will be
at the outset to attempt to obtain for
Cuba the peaceful means of Cuban in
dependence He is destined to be de-
feated in his proposal the moment 1t
is made; for Spain would infinitely pre-
fer war, with or without encourage
ment CT other nations, to any surren-

fact, and the premier sees no other
way cut of the present position. lie
will court war the moment the United
States becomes imperative in its de-
lnands. The wave of great emotion
and patriotism such a war would call
out in Spain would naturally sink all
threatening domestic questions and
disturbances. The Carlists, Republic
ans and all others would unite for the
nation as they could be united by moth

should be defeated, Cuba could be sur

Good government in cities is made
difficult, not alone by lack of con-
science, but also by lack of wisdom.

1t is not possible to be too conscien-
tious, but it is easy to imagine that
c1 nscientiousness includes what it does
Lot include. In recent religious con-
ference a devout missionary objected
to accepting a millionaire's gift of two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
missionary purposes on the ground
that the rich man is not so religious
as the missionary thinks he ought to
be. This man became rich in almost
the only way in which vast wealth can
lie accumulated honestly-by the exer-
else of superior business ability. He
has given substantial proof of his deep
interest in the welfare of those less
favored pecuniarily by setting aside
several million dollars to be used for
their benefit in religious, moral and
educational ways. The objecting mis-
sionary evidently had been reading
the sweeping TRADES of the anarchistie
newspapers against the possessors OF
wealth. and-what few intelligent read
ers do-accepting their allegations as

Siml9, Aug. j. A dispatch from,
Camp Malakand reports another night
attack by the tribesmen. The natives
fought desperately for several hourn
and were repulsed at all points. Bon
fires had been lighted around tho
camp and in the glare the tribeslnen
were easy targets for the British riAn-
men. Many fell. and in the light of tho
flames the natives could be seen pa.
moving their dead is reported that
the mullah was badly wounded and
that several of his principal chiefs
were disabled. The British lost ona
killed and seventeen wounded. Tho
forces of the mullah had been aug
mented by a strong gathering of the
natives on the hills to the right of tho
British position. The theory is that
the Benerwals have risen. The sim
alton is now somewhat relieved by
the arrival of reinforcementS under
Col. Reed from Nowshera

London, Aug. IA dispatch to the
Times from Simla says that the loss
of the enemy in the fighting Thursday

A patent has been issued in the Uni
ted States for novel process for water
proofing textile fabrics. In carrying
cut the process the fabric to be treated
is wetted with water and placed be-
tween sheets or rollers. One of these
sheets or rollers, which is preferably
Ct tin or aluminium is connected to the
positive pole of an electric generator
and the other sheet or roller to the
negative pole By employing such a
dissolving positive electroGe and pass
ing current through the wet fabric the
fibres are made water-repellent. The
inventor states that the waterproofing
is due to the formation on the positive
conductor of a metallic oxide of some
kind, produced by the liberation of
nascent oxygen on the positive conduc-
tor, due to the electrolytic action of the
current on the water with which the
goods are saturated, and which oxide
enters in the fibres of the goods,
aided by the current, and prob
ably is combined partly chemically and
partly mechanically with the fibres,
making the same waterproof by the
presence of the oxide in or on the fibre
The strength of the current applied
depends upon the character of goods
submitted to treatment. but care must
be taken not to carry the process too
far. The nascent hydrogen on the neg
alive side will, If the time Of treatment
is too long, accumulate and then begin
To act as a reducing agent and in case
the period of treatment is prolonged
beyond the proper time, then the
nascent hydrogen will reduce the oxide
of the metal in the goods TO the me-
tallic state, and the combination or
union of the oxide with the fibres will
be destroyed by the reduction CT the
oxide to metallic state. The process
is said to have the great merit Of MAX
ing the individual fibres and threads
water-repellent, while the pores of the
goods are in no way stopped up or
closed. Consequently, If used on cloth
ing i. would not prevent evaporation
taking place through the interstices be-
tween the threads.
