CAMPED IN THE STREETS.
Holiday Makers Do Not Intend to
Return to Work Until After
the Parade

LONDON, ENG, June 2o-The work of
tuilding STANDS and completing decora-
tions is not yet completed, and carpenters
and decorators were employed all day and
their work was continued far into the
night They will be constantly employed
until Tuesday. Groups of people saun-
tered through the thoroughfares all night
long, singing and otherwise enjoying
themselves.
Barrowfuls of oranges, ginger beer and
cakes were given to holiday-makers from
the East End, who are camping-out in the
West End streets. These people do not
intend to go to work or return to their
homes until after the jubilee. The saloons
will be permitted to remain open until
o'clock Wednesday morning. This has
been the strangest Sunday ever known in
London. The route of the royal process
sion will resemble huge fair. Carriages
from the West End bearing titled persons
and leaders of fashion found themselves
sandwiched between milk carts, fish carts,
donkey barrows and brewers vans, all
packed with families, their owners or
drivers singing and joking. On the side
walks clubmen elbowed navvies and fac
tory girls everywhere. The utmost good
nature was displayed. Hyde Park is
studded with the tents of military de-
tachments which will take part in the
procession,

FUNNY PROPOSAL
MADE TO GOMEZ
Asked to Join Spain in
a War Against the
United States.
But the Cuban General Only
Laughed at the PROPOSE
ton.
Insurgents VIII Not Quit Fighting
Until Absolute independence
Is Gained.

HAVANA, CUBA, June 20.-After the
last failure of Weyler's agents to induce
General Gomez to accept peace with Spain
on the basis of reforms in Cuba, another
attempt has been made by the Spaniards
to secure more extraordinary agreement
This lime it was proposed to make an
armistice with Spain and join the Span.
iards in war with the United States.
After the Ameri cans were whipped-an
end of the struggle which was acce pied
without question by these sanguine
Spaniards-GAmez could take the field
again to fightithe mother country and the
war would proceed between the Spaniards
and Cubans "until decisive settlement of
their family dispute Is reache l."
The authors of this ridiculous scheme
were some Reformists in Havana. The
idea met the approval OF the Marquis OF
Rabell. president of the Reformist party.
The Marquis ives in the United States
a few weeks ago and held several inter-
views at Washington with De LONE. The
latter convinced him the policy of the
American Government was to annex
Cuba after Spain should become
thoroughly exhausted in her war against
the patriots, and lco weak, therefore, to
repeI an American attack. The Marquis,
who is we'll known as a perfect ignoramus,
felt the patriotism caused by De Lome's
statement and wrote Immediately to
friends in Havana that something ought
to be done TO prevent the success of
Americas Machiavellism with regard to
Cuba. As soon as this letter was received
the bright idea of 'race war" against
the United States occurred to the friends
OF the Marquis.
Gomez was approached early this morn
ing by com missioner from these Span
iards at his camp at La Reforma. General
Gomez's policy since the hopeless finan-
cisI distress of Spain began is 10 listen to
any commissioners coming from the Span
lsh side. After hearing them he always
answers that the only possible solution of
the war is the independence of Cuba. but
he was extremely surprised when, instead
OF the ola story of home rule and reforms.
he heard the commissioner unfold great
scheme OF war against the United States.
The following is literally translated from
letter received in this city By Cuban
agent and written by Gomez's secretary:
IL can tell you that since the general
landed in Cuba to lead this war we never
saw him laugh so heartily as when after
the Spaniard had disclosed his scheme,
and he made him repeat it until he as
sured himself that he was not treating
with madman but with genuine agent
OF sons OF the Spaniards of Havana. The
general called DR.. Hernandez to his tent
in the presence of the amazed commits
sioneT, and between his roars Of laughter,

AUSTIN'S POOR POEM.
1t Is Entitled Victoria" but tn
Verses VIII Not Reach the Hearts
of the PEOPLE,

1t Is Entitled Victoria" but the
Verses viii Not Reach the Hearts
of the People.
LONDON, Eng. June 20.-The jubilee
poem, written by Alfred Austin, Poet
Laureate. entitled Victoria" published
here is not the same as published in New
York recently, but similar. The authentic
verse reads:
They placed a crown upon her fair. young brow;
They put scepter in her girish hand,
Saying, behold. you are sovereign lady now
OF this great land"
The verse in the unauthorized version
reads:
They girt q crown about her brow,
They PLACED a scspter in her hand,
And loud rang out the natiens vow,
"God guard the lady Of the and"
The poem, consisting of thirty four-line
verses, is a tabored essay without inspira-
tion or melody, but with much of Mr..
Austin's usual horticultural metaphor.
The absence of any distinctive note is
sure TO prevent it from reaching the
hearts of the people. The follow ing verses
show the quality of the stuff:
The lark went up, the mower whet his scythe;
On golden meads kline Illuminating lay,
And all the world felt young again and blithe,
Just as to-day.
The foregoing is the first verse. The
fourth verse reads:
in green wheat poppy burst ahame-
Wild rose and woodbine garlanded glade
And twin with maiden summer forth there came
4 summer M Id.
The twenty-fourth worse is as follows:
Then to the winds yet wider was unfurled the flag
Thai tyrants never could enslave,
TIL its strong wisdom governed half the world
+ And all the wave.

NEW YORK, n. Y, June 2O.-Trinfty
Church was crowded to-day at the jubilee
service in honor OF Queen Victoria. Police
were necessary to control the crowd.
TTinity's chimes rang out God Save the
Queen" British ConsuI-General Sander
son, in full regalia, and his office staff
were present. The organ loft was fes.
tooned with British and American flags,
and the royal standard was draped in the
pulpit.
Rev. D. Parker Morgan of the Church
OF the Heavenly Rest delivered the SER
mon. He caused much comment by de-
Iivering himself OF the following: Hers
has been long reign. and in contempIat-
ing it and the feelings it arouses we can
not but feel that monarchy is better than
presidency. With monarchy there is
continuation Of ever increasing respect,
but chanees constantly recurring in the
presidency may cause break in the affec-
tions of the people toward the occupant
of the chair"
Then followed a long and fattering
eulogy Of the Queen as wife, mother an d
ruler.
Jubilee services were held in many
other Episcopal churches. American and
English flags were conspicuous. A beau
tifui jubilee window, the gift of the st.
George Society, was unveiled at the
Church of st. John the Evangelist. I'm
derneath the window is the inscription:

states and one people. Sixtieth year OF

BOSTON, MASS. June 20.-It now looks
as If Fitzammons is disposed to treat Sui

van is taking the best of care of himself
He has not touched liquor for eight
months. and he is in earnest about want

Boston to-day and called on Frank Dunn.
Sullivan's manager. They talked the
matter over for some time with the result
that Julian promised to consider Sulli-
vans claim to priority to fight with Fitz-
simmons, and he will givs him an answer
in few days.
The statement has been made that the
losers end of such fight would be an in
ducement for Sullivan to put up bluff
with no chance of winning. but Manager
Dunn told Martin Julian that he would
be willing to cut out the picture scheme.
which would mean thousands to the fight
ers, and even meet Fitzsimmons with d

him before leaving the field of battle.
When the Spaniards retired O'FarreIl

WHY GUTHRIE LOSES our.

Cotton compresses have been located
at El Reno, Teeumseh and Ardmore
within the past three months. The
parties at the head ~ these enter.
prises visited Guthrie, cons ulted with
business men and eventually made
liberal propositions looking towards
the establishment OF q compress at
this point. The propositions were
duly considered, and at one time pros.
poets for such an enterprise were
roseate. In fact, matters progressed
30 satisfactorily that site was
selected for a compress plant and ar
rangements begun for the subscribing
OF stock. Then suddenly there pre-
vailed kiek-then lull. The cotton
compress project faded from view. All
dreams OF manufacturing prosperity
in the capital city were shattered. An
investigation revealed the fact that
Guthrie had once more been hsr-
pooned by business jealousy and man
ger work OF sordid blow-hards II

sition was submitted, the bead OF

too narrow, and moreover, that Guth-

tract good. lie enlisted the assistance
Of several other narrow minded indi-
yidusls and after some vigorous cold

This, briefly, Is the record Of all en-
terprises proposed for the towns good.
