THAT SPANISH NOTE.
SaGasta's Reply co Minister Wood
ford is Diplomatic.
IT IS, APPARENTLY. SATISFACTORY.
The Mailed Hand Used to Crush the Gu
bans is Encased in the Softest Vel
vet When Dealing With an
Acknowledged Power.

WAsHINGrON Nov. II. 1t is stated on
good authority that Premier Sagastas
reply to Minister Woodford's note, the
full text of which was read at Tues
days cabinet meeting, is emiuently
satisfactory 10 this government. In it
the Spanish ministry pledges itself to
correct the abuses of power in Cuba
which was the subject of SO much com
plant during the Weyler administra-
ton, aud gives assurance of Is friendly
feeling toward the American people.
1t accepts our good offices in its efforts
To res tore peace in Cuba. and in per-
fectly respectful and friendly spirit
asks this government, so far as pos
sible. TO restrain the insurgent sy M
pathizers in The United States from Civ
ing material aid to the enemies of
Spain in Cuba. The reply intimates
that but for the assistance that
has been given them by fill
clustering from the United States
peace would have been restored long
ago. The reply. it is stated, does not
contain a sentence that could give Of
Tense, or be construed into an express
sion of an unfriendly purpose or feel
ing against the government of the
United States On the contrary, the
note is stated to be distinctly concilia-
tory in tone, although insisting upon
the right and duty of Spain to put
down an armed insurrection within its
own terri tory.
1t is evident that the reply has made
a favorable impression upon President
Mckinley and the mem bers OF the cab
met. and it is not unlikely that one of
the features Of his forthcoming mes
sage To congress will be a discussion of
the Cuban 81 tuation, from which it will
appear that there 5 nothing a the sit

mans reply to Japan's first protest

had formed an alliance TO make war

glish attempt to scare somebody, as
a means Of getting even for the
truthful statement Of the tricky con-
duct of the English government, made
in Secretary Sherman's instructions
to Am bassador Hay, concerning the
seal fisheries negotiations. 1t was
not intended that these instructions
should be made public at this time,
but they were obtained by wide
awake newspaper man and printed.
The publication has made the English
editors very mad at the United States,
and their old occupation of abusing
us, which was suspended while the
arbitration treaty was pending, has
been resumed; but it is worthy Of no
tice that no attempt has been made to
controvert the truthfulness of Secre-

sToP AND THINK.

When temptations near o'ercome you,
And your trials are not few,
Did you ever think moment,
just TO learn what you should dog
When the tempter's mighty power,
Tries to make you take drink,
Or, 10 do a crime so gravely
That's the time to stop and think.
Do not wait till all is over,
Ere you think what is the best,
Think in time to check the curse, and
Let your conscience do the rest.
Whate'er tempts you to do wrongly
Ere from sin you fail to shrink,
Good advice you then should follow
That is just to stop and think.
As you think your conscience tells you,
Then do what it tells you to,
And you'll find life companion,
If you'll think before you do.
