ever that the Queen Regent is imbued
with sentiments of horror toward the
methods pursued by Captain General
Weyicr in dealing with the insurrectlon
IN Cuba. She shares 10 the fullest degree
the humane views of her trusted old
friend and champion, Marshal MARTINEZ
Campos, who, every one IS aware, was
recalled from Havana for his lack of
severity toward the revolutionists, and
for his common-sense recognition of the
fact that the demands of the Cubans for
reforms were justified.
Autonomy for Cuba and the Philippines
means the loss of the m sior portion and
by far the fattest part of the patronage at
the disposal of the home Government, a
patronage which by the means of some
maneuver or other has always been re-
tanned in the hands of the Conservatives.
even when out of Office, owing, perhaps,
to the immeasurably superior honesty OF
the Liberals in every conceivable walk of
lie. Moreover, it must not not be forgot
ten that Donna Joaquina, the imperious
and masterfui wife of the Monster" as
Canovas is nicknamed, has large interests
in Cuba, her father, the late Mar quis de
La PuenIe, having been the CHIEF of
Spanish-American family and born on
this side OF the Atlantic; and Donna
Joaquina, it is well to bear in mind, is a
very important parsonage ct Madrid,
where she ru es her hus band as well as
the members of his party to such an ex-
tent, especially in all questions affecting
colonial politics. that she goes by the
nickname of 'the Queen Of Cuba"
in conclusion it may be stated tha
Spain owes deep debt of gratitude TO the
Queen for having transformed the court
Of Madrid from The most immoral to per-
haps the purest in all Europe. Her in
fuence exercised under the most adverse
circumstances has throughout been of
most beneicent nature, and if bu ll-fight-
ing to-day in Spain Is to such an extent on
the wane that the Associated Cham bers OF
Commerce OF Madrid petitioned the Gov
ernor of the capital the other day to di-
minish the mum Der of "corridas," a petit
ton which was indorsed by the greater
part OF the population. it is mainly due to
the fact that she has inyar ably refused to
countenance this peculiarly brutal form of
national sport. In all times os trouble
and distress she has always been the first
to extend motherly sympathy and assis-
tance TO the subj cts OF her little boy. an d
while one day she could be seen bathing
the temples OF starving man who had
fallen in fit OF epilepsy just as she was
passing in her carriage on her way to the
prado, on another occasion having met
while out driving through the streets a
priest carrying the last sacrament of dy-
ing man, she alighted with her son, made
the priest enter the royal equipage, and
then followed feverently behind with her
little boy King on foot. thus recalling one
! of the prettiest and most picturesque in
cidents in the career Of the founder of The
house of Hapsburg, TO which she belongs.

)Hkok ARk NOW JHE MOST PROMINENT STAGE BEAUTIES.

Within a period of two months San
Francisco will have been gIaced by the
presence of three women who are consi1-
cred by the Eastern critics the most beau
tiful at present on the stage and will have
the opportunity of settling that much
taIKed-of question 10 their own satisfac-
tion. The day is long since passed when
the Western coast knew The stage beau
ties only by hearsay. This City of San
Francisco is a very attractive place now-a-
days.

"It's all right, of course, for the ladies TO

her brown eyes simply and showing two
rows Of remarkably pretty teeth by
smiling, "but it is annoying TO see a crowd

Doubtless the public will be interested
in these three women and will talk OF
them and criticize them to their
hearts content. 1t might be men
toned, however, that San Francisco
need not stand on its tiptoes in It's
anxiety TO peer into the future for d
glimpse OF loveliness. There are several
ladies on the stage and off in the City to-
