Senor canoyas del Castillo has gone to
san Sebastian 10 consult the Q ueen Regent,
a Madrid dispatch informs us; in conse-
quence OF an interesting and delicate cor
rcSpondence which lately has passed be-
tween the Spanish and American govern
ments regarding Cuba. We are not vD-
lating sny confidence in saying that some
thing win be heard from this CORES pon,l-
ence if only the Congress viii pass the
tariff, AMI Pack Itself up and frank Itself
nome. The reason is that the Ohio cam
paign is in an atrabilious condition. pro-
ductive of much anxiety at the Glover
building. Something must be done TO fire
the Buckeye heart, and that something
is supposed TO be corked up in the in
teresting and delicate correspondence. Ohio
Republicans are fighting mad over the
Hanna-Wcyler alliance, and a storm is
brewing. The business manager viii
5e compelled TO shoot off a gun OF some
kind TO dispel the clouds; but ne scorns
the idea OF letting the Congress have any
thing to do with IL.

Our Havana dispatches bring cheerful
tidings Of the march of Gen. Gunlez
toward the Spanish capital The Liberia
tor declares that he will thank his troops
for their gansntry and devotion under the
walls OF the c'ty, and Maxmo Gomez is
not man given to idle boasting. Our
Rews columns this morning are well stocked
with Cuban war items. The patriots cap
;uied the town OF Managua, near Ha.
vana, the other day, remained in il for
thirty six hours, and carried off large
quantities OF arms, ammunition, provisions
and clothing. An important Cuban expetli-
tion has landed in the suburbs of Guiana
bacoa, so near Havana that the deliver of
the cargo of arms and munitions of war
TO the patriots could be seen through field
gla sses from the city. This makes four
expeditions that have landed almost within
sight OF Weyler's palace during the past
t.ree months. rhe fact affords striking
illustration of the condition TO which the
hyena's fighting power has been reduced.
His best troops are bottled up in the east,
where Calixto Garcia has them at ad-
vantage, with the active assistance the
climate and rains are affording him.
Gomez is sweeping along to interview
WeyIeI in his stronghold, and the Spaniarl
ale terror stricken. Altogether the out
look for the revolution never was so
bright.

Cumberland, Nd. July l6.-An attempt

OF Cun,berla nd, being on the under side,
went down with the engine, but Iniraru
loUsly escaped injury. An exaniuat tion of
the switch disclosed that bolt hal been

fsid to close within an inch.
1t was fortunate that the engine was
under control.
Owing to the peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the occurrence, the Baltimore
and Oth officials ale convinced that the
bolt was removed by some one with the
purpose OF wrccking the train. Detectives
have been placed on the case, and extra
vigilance viii be Maintained in the

Today's strike news fs less encouraging
The movement has spread over eight Sta ties,

total suspension can be averted- Siren

Her Letter.

She has written her little letter;
Il was hard enough to do,
With mistress forever ringing the bell,
Always for something new;
When the spelling was very uncertain,
And the writings b1otted and slow,
But she's written her little letter,
Over the sea to go.
1t will carry her last months wages
A couple OF pounds. at least,
1t means for the dear home people
No end of a happy feast
A little shawl for her mother,
And shoes for the baby's feet;
For the pale-faced, ailing sister
Some delicate things to eat.
She follows her little letter
Over the plunging sea.
She sits again by the smoking peat,
And leans on her fathers knee.
There are Cossiping neighhors calling,
No end Of kith anl kin;
And they laugh and chat and linger
AS their endless tales they spin.
And it isn't work forever,
With bells that make one start;
And it isn't only the wages.
It's something tugs at the heart.
And sets her laughing and crying
As she follows across the sea
What she wrote at her Kitchen table
, When she had o half f-hour free.

FARMER LEy1CH SAFE.
Found by Teamster and Taken
Home With His Cash.

Hazleton, Pa, July 16.-Charles Levicb,
the Quakafe fsImer, who III yster.ously Ills
appeared while visiting this city Tuestia V
turned up ut his home yesterday, almost
exhausted. Levich, who is nearly eighty
years old, and quite feeble. after leaving
the HinkIe nols at the cily limits, did not
GO TO the i,ank as intended. He became
confused and walked in the wong direc-
ton.
A teamster met him Tuesday night on the
mcuntail near Beaver Meadow, and car
iied him TO that town. There lIe wandered
about for time, and struck Offfo r Qua kake
across the mountain. Although sea rching
parties covered all the roads. they missed
him, ami he did not get out of the u ,ods
until this morning.
He still had his money tied in o hand
lerchief and concealed in his loot leg
He forgot all about tie hank in his strug
giles TO find his way home.

We viii not go 80 far as TO say that
"Uncle John' has not even read his note,
because be was seen reading it in The
Times. 1t is safe TO believe that this,
however, was his first knowledge of the
document, the original OF which bore his
rubber stamp signature. Therefore, we
beg Lord Salisbury and the British en-
piIe 10 acquit the Secretary OF all sin in

In framing indictments out West doubtless
has affected the style and construction of

may lead to war. but they are mistaken

On us. Nobody in the British Foreign Of
fioc really is mad about It., since II is very

Cleveland. olney and Salisbury played with

A BUILDING BLOWN UP.
Serious Accident at the Torpedo
Station at Newport.

Newport, Il. L., July 16.-At about 81 8
yesterds morning loud report was hear'i
comiug from the harbor front There
was a rush TO the docks, and upon look
ing in the diret ton of the torpedo station
it was seen th at there was fire in prog
ress on the island. 1t was soon dscer-
tained that gun-cotton building, No s.,
where the material is given the drying
process. just before it is made in TO smoke
less powder, had gone up in the air, aud
that two boys employed in the building
were seriously hurt
II is given out by the officials that the
dust in the building exploded, and that the
sides Cf the building, which is n small
affair, parted and that the roof fell in
with a crash, burying the lads beneath the
ruins. They were soon extricate,l, and
were found to be badly burned, and were
i,I niediately taken to the hospital Treir
names are William Stevenson and Thrmas

The Sultan has bowed to the wishes Of
Europe, in appearance at least, and has
notified the ambassadors that he is ready
to accept the principle OF a strategic
frontier. So, negotiations will he re
opened on Saturday, and Abdul Hamid
will put in Sunday arranging new schemes
to secure delay until Edhem Pasha can get
his army over the mountains Then we
dare say the shiek nj Islam will shrek
again and the green flag OF the Prophet be
brought out. 1t is too good to be true
that Turkey has thrown up the sponge
Besides that it does seem q pity to be at
all the cost and bother Of putting nearly
threequarters OF Il million met i'm the field

1t used TO be, perhaps stin is the pracrice
n Paris for newspapers to employ big,
strong, skilled duellist and general all
round bully to pose as the 'respon-
stblc editor The reasons for and ad-
Nartages OF this arrangement are too
oi'vlous TO need discussion. We recall the
fact, merely to remark that the Hanna
Administration seems to have enga ged
''Tncle John sherman i'm something like
the same way 70 act as the responsible
editor" OF the State Department. NOJthat

Il almost is unnecessary to observe that
be found in the fierce howl Of rage that
goes up from the British press over what
IL improperly called the Sherman note on
the Bering Sea seal fisheries question.
London journals sea rcely can find language
strong enough TO express their horror aud

Icmatic dIrectness of the latest State De
partment communication TO her majesty 5

of that opinion. This is too funny. Per
baps, as the episode finds complete ventila-
tion, il may da wn upon the English da.ies
that "Uncle John" is as innocent of
knowledge or connection with the affair
as il he never had been born; and after
this latest illustration of the observation
10 which nj old friends have subjected him
comes 10 his notice, he may feel, with Ar
temus Ward, that IL would have been SIO
In his pocket if he never had been. If he
