tinue the war. Recent events have proved
the soundness of this prediction. With
regard to the question OF national pride
and honor the report indicates also the
course for Spain would be to accept an In
demnity and let the island go.
Calhoun has been informed that the
.Cubans in arms are ready to enter upon
such negotiations, and further they are
absolutely determined not to give up the
struggle without securing absolute in
dependence. The home rule scheme OF
Cleveland and the reforms proclaimed by
Canovas are considered here nonsensical.
A great majority OF the Americans in
distress in Cuba are foreigners and me-
chanics who are employed on sugar plan
tations The barbarous. edict of sWeyler
in ordering the country people to concen-
trate in the towns drove them out of their
places with thousands of pacifcos who
been slain also in massacres of non-com-
batants ordered by Weyler.
In an engagement near Madruga,
Matanzas province, the insurgents under
General Castillo routed.a Spanish colum
OF 500 men, which left on the field fifty
nine killed and fifteen wounded. The in
surgents have hanged seven Spanish spies
near Batabano, Havana province.
In the hills of Arroyos, Santa Clara
province, General Ruiz has had an en-
gagement lasting three hours with the in
surgents. The Spanish column retired,
leaving twelve killed and nineteen
wounded.
General Luque has refused to take COM
mand of the Spanish forces in the
provinces of Santiago de Cuba. The rea-
son given in a communication to General
Weyler was that he could not assume the
responsibility of commanding province
absolutely controlled by the insurgents.
Should it be officially declared that the
sCubans hold Orient, then he said he would
gladly go to the front and fight them.
Under the present circumstances he could
not risk his name and accept the conse-
quences OF the existing power of General
Garcia.
This communication aroused the anger
of Weyler, who in answer ordered Luque
to go to Santiago de Cuba or leave for
Spain. Luque chose to leave the island
and embarked for the mother country.
General Jimenez Sandoval, who was
commander of the forces which killed
Jose Marti at the beginning of the war,
has also left for Spain seriously wounded.
MADRID. SPAIN, May pa grave po-
litical conflict has arisen from the quarrel
Friday in the lobby ofParliament between
the Duke of Tetuan and Senator Comas.
Premier Canovas and Sagasta, the Liberal
leader of the Senate, had a conference to-
day. As result the Liberal minority in
the Senate and Chamber of Representa-
tives has determined not to return to Par
Lament until the Duke of Tetuan is re-
tired from the Cortes.
The Prime Minister, after consulting
the Queen Regent, summoned an extra
meeting of the Cabinet, which decided to
meet the Chamber and demand a vote of
confidence. In some quarters 1t is pre-
dicted this will result in a crisis which
will end in Sagasta becoming Prime Min
lister,

the orchestra. The leaders OF the mach, who
walked four abreast, were J. H. Greefkins and
Miss Rose NJ. Duffy and V. G. Raymore and

La Estrelia's Appreciation.

The memb ers OF La Els trella Psrlor, n. D. G..
W., are young ladies in whom the bump OF ap-
probation is very largely developed and they
never neglect to show their appreciation. Las {
Saturday night they gave substantial proof of
their admiration OF what Miss Helen Kruse
had done for the parlor.
AS has already been noted in this depart
ment Miss kruse donated, a few weeks since,
a magnificent silk American flag, which she
had made all by hand, devoting many months
in the accomplishment of the work of patriot
ism and fraternal love for the members of her
parlor, of which she is an officer. The men,
bers of La Estrella, conscious OF the fact that
they are possessed OF the most handsome flag
in the order, and pardonsb Y proud of 1t, they
decided TO present Miss Kruse token of their
es TEEN OF her, something she could always
have Ia remembrance of the presentation of
the flag. On Saturday evening when Miss
Kruse entered Sierra Hall the Native Sons
building, In which the parlor meets. she was
aStonished to find her station bedeeked with
beautiful flowers, and when she asked "Why
is this thus?" none of her fellow members
would tell her.
At the close of the session she was called be-
fore the altar and was addressed by Mrs. Lii
liam Garlic, past president of the paror. lady
who is gifted with unusual elocutlonary pow
ers and most wonderful command of lang
uage. Her remarks were OF the patriotic
order, soul stirring, and at the close she said
that every member OF the parlor loving the
beautiful flag that had been made for La Es-
a token OF their appreciation, and with that
she handed Miss Kruse q magnificent star,
pendant from gold necklace. The recipient
responded in few touching words, after
which the members OF the parlor sang the
"Star-spangled Banner" with vim.
Captain Irelan, who was the drill-master of
the drill corps of the par or that made such a
fine display on the night of the flag presenta-
ton, made short address complimenting
the young ladies of the corps for having in six
lessons learned more than many others had
1aor nah in m
were served and there was dancing.
There were but few visitors at the presenta-
ton. it being sort OF a family affair. The
only ones outside of the members were Mrs.
Mary E. Tilman, grand president; Mrs J. A.
Steinba district deputy; Mrs. George w.
Powell and Mrs. N. Napier OF Veritas Parior of
MERGED and Captain Irelan.
The star symbolic OF The parIor is a gold one,
in the cente- of which there is blue field,
and in the middle OF that a diamond On
each of the five points of the star is ruby,
while between the points appear the points OF
a subordinate star, each tipped with small
iamond. The chain Is made up OF links
equal in number to the membership of the
pIrlor.

LITERARY NOTES.

The American Monthly Review
of Reviews for October has several
articles Of unusual interest to women
readers. Miss Frances Willard tells
the story of the Worlds w. G. T. u.
movement; Mrs. Ellen NJ. Henrotin,
President of the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs, outlines the benefits
OF those organizations; Mrs. Sheldon
Amos, of England, writes of London
Women's Club, and Miss Mary Taylor
Blauvelt contributes an enlightenine
article on the opportunities for women
at the English universities.
The editor of the American Monthly
Review of Reviews comments in his
October number on the killing of the
striking miners by deputy sheriffs at
Lattimer, Pa, on the prevalence of
lynching, on the campaign for the
mayoralty of the Greater New York,
and on various recent developments
in foreign politics.
A great deal has appeared in the
newspapers at different times about
aluminium, it's properties and its uses.
1t was recently announced that con-
tracts had been signed for the delivery
In England of 1000 tons of the crude
metal OF American manufacture. Gen.
eral interest in the subject has led the
American Monthly Review of Reviews
to publish the first complete account Of
the discovery of the American process
for the reduction of aluminium by
electrolysis. The story Of this discov-
cry (which resulted In bringing down
the price of the metal from $16 to 85
cents poundl and its subsequent ap-
plication in manufacturing on com.
mercial scale is one Of the most inter-
esting chapters in the recent annals
OF American industrial progress. It is
another instance of the triumph of
Yankee ingenuity and energy. Ameri-
ca now makes as much aluminium in a
year as all the countries of Europe to.

Labor for Postal Savings Banks.

The State Federation OF Labor in ses.
sion at Bloomington has adopted its in !.
dorsement to the agitation for estab
lishment of postal savings banks. Lo.
cal unions in large numbers have in.
dorsed the movement. Other state and
national conventions as they meet
should also take action along the same
line. Especially should the American
Federation of Labor, which meets in
December, take strong position in ia
vor OF postal savings banks. The de.
mand for their establishment should
be reiterated so persistently that Con-
gress can not longer ignore the subject.
The vote upon the adoption of the
postal savings bank resolutions at
Bloomington was unanimous, which
indicates the general sentiment OF
workingmen on the subject. Chicago
