CALHOUN's REPORT.
The Special Commissioners Sent
to Cuba.
To Secure Reliable Information Upon
Which the President May Act in the Gu.
ban Matter, Arrives In Washing ton
and Makes His Report.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-W. ]. Calhoun.
the special commissioner sent to Cuba
by President Mckinley, arrived from
New York yesterday afternoon at four
o'clock. He went Immediately to the
state department. where Judge Day,
the assistant secretary of state, was
awaiting him, and together they pro-
ceeded to the White House. They
were shown into the cabinet room,
where President Mckinley and Judge
Day listened to Mr.. Calhoun's descrip-
ton of the situation in the war-ridden
island, and to the conclusions reached
by him.
Judge Day declined to be interviewed
last night on the subject of the confer
ence, further than to say it was very
interesting. Mr.. Calhoun like wise pre-
ferred not to talk of the interview, fur
Their than to say he had reported to the
president what he had seen and heard.
MIR. Calhoun has an appointment to
meet the president this morning, when
he will again go over his impressions.
Mr.. Calhoun will not go to Nashville
with Mr.. Mckinley, but will leave fo=
his home in illinois probably to-mor-
row, and, if necessary, will visit here
after the president returns. The re-
ports of ConsuI-General Lee on the
Ruiz case, Assistant Secretary Day
said last night, had not been received
by the state department. The report,
however, is in the city, having been
brought here by Gen. Fish back, the
secretary who accompanied Mr.. Cal
houn on his Havana trip.
Hol
prise at the publication of what pur-
ported to be Gen. Lees report yester-
day morning. He said the document
had been sealed in Consul-General
Lees office in the regular official way
and delivered to Mr.. Fish back, who
brought it to New York and to WASH
ington. He was unable to understand
how it should have become public.
Mr.. Calhoun talked with less free
dom than characterized his interviews
while in New York. He complained
that some of these had been exagger-
ated and made him say what he had
not uttered. The commissioner re-
Trained from expressing any opinion as
to the probable policy of the presi-
dent in acting on the Cuban ques-
ton, declaring he had been to the
island simply to learn facts, and
to report what he had seen and heard.
This he had done. If he has formed
any opinion regarding the Ruiz case,
Mr.. Calhoun politely declined to indi-
cate what it was. On the prospects of
the continuation of the war, the condi-
ton of the suffering Americans and
Gen. Lees firm attitude as an Ameri-
can representative, Mr.. Calhoun spoke
in terms similar to those he used in his
published interview.

COwper and WalpoIe,

In so far as a mans time affects the
nature of his correspondence, he must
be criticized accordingly. No one
counts the artifciality of Walpole
against him for sin, any more than
one blames the dilettanti of France in
the eighteenth century for writing like
-dilettanti. But appreciation of their
sincerity, such as it was, of their rep
resentative character, and of their
entertaining qualities, need not blind
us to this crucial fact, that theirs are
not the best letters. The best letters
are those in which the char
acter of the writer is accurate
ly mirrowed and shown to be in itself
delightful. In such letters the writer
is frequently observed rising superior,
with serene Inconsistencies, to the
epistolary accent of his time. Cowper
offers a conspicuous example. Com
pared with his great contemporary
Walpole, he is not so amusing a CORE
spOndent; but his letters are more
cherished possessions than the earIs.
Both writers give us vivid self-portrait
ure, but in one case the picture is low
able, and in the other it is not.-Royal
Cortissoz, in Century.

IN DANGER OF COLLAPSE.

The ArmIstlce May Eventuate in Renewal
of HostiIities Between Greece and Tur-
key.
LONDON, June 9.-The peace negotia-
tions do not seem to make much pro-
greSS and there was considerable dis
quietude in Athens last evening caused
by the apparently reliable statement
that the negotiations were in danger
of collapSing altogether. The minis
| tiers who were questioned on the sub
ject, had no definite news of an official
character.
1t is said on good authority that the
powers are now trying to induce Tur-
key to sign general peace conditions
defining broad limits within which
Turkey and Greece should afterwards
settle terms by direct negotiations.
This news is regarded at Athens with
dismay, as a breach of faith on the
part of the powers, and as leaving
Greece to the tender mercies of the sui
tan. 1t is thought by many good
judges at Athens that Greece may yet
have to fight for her very existence.
Already there are reports that the
Turks have advanced in the Agrapha
district, occupied several villages, and
are still advancing toward the town of
Agrapha.
Greece has protested to the powers
against this violation of the armistice,
and Col. Tosamados, the minister of
war, has gone to Lamia.
Premier Lami, who has expressed
the thanks of the government to the
Greeks of New York city for four can
non, said: THE government does not
forget the armistice is not peace, and
that it is its duty to be prepared for
every eventuality."
The Greek newspapers all publish
the statement by Gen. Miles that the
positions at Thermopyl9 are impregna-
BILE.
Advices from Constantinople are
equally pessimistic. 1t is said that
Tewfik Pasha, at Saturdays meeting of
the council of ministers, announced
that the Shiek.Ul-Islam had issued a
fetva declaring that territory &C
quired by the sacrifice of Ottoman
blood cannot, under the Ottoman law,
be surrendered. If this be true,
it will require good deal of persua-
sion to induce the sultan to retire from
ThesSaly. In addition to this report
comes the rumor that Bulgaria has
made an informal demand that Mace
donia, with the exception of the prov
ince of Adrianople, shall be formed
into an autonomous administration.

Sorry He Spoke.

Almost the last work that Sir Edwin
Landseer was engaged on was life
sized picture of Nell Gwyn passing
through an archway on a white pal
frey. This picture, in which the horse
alone was finished, was bought by one
of the Rothschild family, and given to
Sir John Millais to complete. One
morning a celebrated art critic called,
and was much impressed by this work.
''Ah, to be sure" he said, going up
close and examining a deerhound,
which almost breathed, in the fore
ground of the picture, chow easily one
can recognize Landseer's dogs! Won
derful, isn't it?" Yes, it is wonder
full" remarked Sir John, lighting anoth-
er pipe. Il finished painting that dog

A Story About "OId Hickory"

Whenever the anniversary of the
battle of New Orleans comes around
anecdotes about Andrew Jackson are
in order. During his presidency a GER
tain clerk showed a marked disinclina-
ton to pay his board bill. He would
give notes readily enough, but he would
not pay them. The landlady, when all
other means failed, went to see Presi-
dent jackson. He listened attentively,
and told her to get the clerks note for
the amount. She obeyed, and Jackson
took the note and Endorsed it. Now,
madam" said he, put that in the bank
for collection, and we shall see which
of Us shall have to pay the money
The clerk paid the note, and afterward
apologized to Jackson. and promised
to mend his ways.-Golden DAYS.

wEYLER.s DAY IS OVER.

The BlOodthirsty Butcher VIII be Recalled
-CamPOs Is Now in Power in Spain
Spain's Policy VIII be Changed, in De-
ference, Evidently, to the Growing Sem
Sta ties.
New YORK. June IA dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
It is believed here now that the long
suppressed news of affairs in Madrid
has been made public that Gen. Wey-
ley's return to Spain will be the most
important result of Canovas' success
in retaining power. Private kilograms
have been sent to persons here
in which it was distinctly stated
that Campos. Dominguez and Pidal
had given their support to Canovas
only with the plain stipulation that
Gen. Weyler should go
In fact, it is felt here that Campos,
who is now in power in Spain and fills
the popular eye, would not on any &C
count lend himself to the continuation
of Gen. Weyler's policy. The plan is
to send Gen. Marin here from Porto
Rico and then supplant him in turn
bv Gen. Blanco or Campos.
The private kilograms seem to leave
no doubt as to Gen. Weyler's coming
retirement, and big as is the response
bility for changing captains at so
critical a period, it appears to be set
tied. Gen. Weyler's recall will be &C
companied with an acknowledgment.
it is believed here, that his proclama-
tions of pacifcation are not worth the
paper they are written upon. If Gen.
Weyler goes his succ rssor can only
abandon utterly the pi.sns which Gen.
Weyler has made and followed.
The first duty of Gen. Weyler's sue
cessor, when he comes, will be to cause
the starving reconcentrados to go once
more into the fertile fields and Guilt
vate there the means of life which are
denied them inside the forts.
While the reports of Mr.. Calhoun
and the American consul-general here
have reinforced their former reports as
to the strength of the insurgents and
the poor outlook for peace under
present conditions, they have said
plainly that in their opinion
the United States must not look
too seriously upon the proposed
reforms and talk of autonomy on Cana
dian lines. In short, however, much
feeling there may be that Spain should
be allowed to retain her sovereignty
here, the Americans feel, and have so
reported, that there is not provision
in the reforms that has not a string to
it, and any result here short of indie
pendence of and American protector
ate will mean, they say, merely post
ponement and another revolution in a
few years.

Three New Complaints Filed Against the
Hawaiian Government.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-The Ha-
waiian legation in Washington is adj
vised of three new complaints filed
against the Hawaiian government by
Japan. One of these charges the Ha-
waiian customs officials with discrim-
mating against Japanese wine in favor
of the California product, another
takes exceptions to an order of the
Hawaiian board of immigration to
the owners OF plantations requir-
ing them in making contracts
for oriental labor to make these con-
tracts for two Chinese to one Japanese
in every case, and third complains of
an order displacing Japanese physi-
clan on plantation. The legation is
also informed that there is no abate-
ment of the Japanese demands on ac-
count of Hawaii's position with refer
ence to Japanese immigration to the
islands.
