some for long, hot afternoons, and some
are for bedtime. These stories of Mr.. Kip

''But, how could the Cuban generals
be assassinated, while they renAin
with their troops?"
Every Cuban leader has a keen
recollection Of the assassination Of An
tonic Maceo, while he was In command
OF his soldiers. The Spaniards are
treacherous, and nobody knows that
fact better than the Spaniards them
selves. The races descended from
them also understand the fact Gen.
Maceo was betrayed to death by one Of
his own men,"
Gould such a fate come to Gomez
and Barcia?"
"Of course. 1t is easy enough to
bring about. Suppose that the Cuban
leaders refuse to accept the golden Of
fers. and maintain their patriotic
stand. While it might cost something
like $50,000 to buy Garcia. it would only
cost about $500 to buy a man who
would cut his throat while he sleeps"
Would the Spanish government re-
sort to such a course of procedure?"
mo. The Spanish government
would have no official knowledge of it.
The deed would simply be done Has
anybody ever been able to prove that
Weyler planned the assassination of
Maceo? The results would be put
down in the fortunes Of war; and the
civilized world would never know how
it was done. But, for the sake of ap-
pearances, the process of bribery is go

leaders will accept gold, instead of as

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-"You may
regard it as startling, but it is true, "
says a member of the diplomatic corps
concerning the Cuban situation. "I
have been confidentially Informed that
Gen. Garcia is purchasable, and that
he will go down in Cuban history as
a Benedict Arnold, instead of as a
Washington or Toussaint L'Ouver-
ture. He Is about to sell out; unless
he has already done So"
You cannot understand how difficult
it is to induce the representatives of
foreign nations to talk in Washington
concerning international affairs. Only
to those whom they have known for
years will they express any views.
They cannot afford to talk, lest they
affect their political positions. One Of
these gentlemen, however, who has
been continuously in this city for near
ly twenty years, and who knows the
city as well as it's born inhabitants,
this evening talked frankly with a
newspaper man whom he has been ac-
quainted with for some time, and upon
whose discretion he relies. He said:
Gen. BIanco and the new adnlinis-
tration at Madrid fully realize that
the Cuban insurgents are merely fol-
lowers Of superior leaders. The rebel
lion in your own country was really
caused by but few men; and, after 1t
developed, there were not more than a
hundred men who were personally in
terested in the confederacy. The arm
les were made up Of men who followed
shrewd leadership. That Is the case in
Cuba, with this difference: The con-
federate soldiers were 80 per cent more
intelligent men than the Cuban SOL
diers.
I'm conversation with diplomats who
understood the inside of affairs, 1
have ascertained that, if ten or fifteen
men in Cuba could be bought or
killed, the insurgents would quit fight
ing. The new administration at Mad
rid takes this view of the situation.
Consequently, instead of trying to
fight Garcia's 10000 or 10000 armed
men. Spain intends to kill or buy the
ten or fifteen military leaders. At
first, the effort will be made to buy
them. 1t is now believed that this
method will prove to be successful.
If it fails, there will be a campaign
of assassination. Gen. Garcia under
stands the situation, and so does Gen.
Gomez They now have before them
the bribery proposition, and they are
considering it. The Spanish managers
believe that they have already got
Garcia on the string.
"Can it be possible that wholesale
bribery will break the insurgent
cause?"

Ruskin's that the future promises

Annie Steel is an event Of Importance
and one not to be lost sight Of in the

of course but such a comparison is as
needless as it is fruitless. India is
broad enough, human emotion is deep
enough to make field large enough

work without being tempted to jump
each others claims.
In a book where each story holds
the reader so that when he finishes one
sketch he regrets leaving it for the
next, it is difficult to say which is
the strongest, and, indeed, after the
hook is finished and closed, it is not as

ferent CHAPTERS in the story Of human
ity, it e 4rUe, but complete only in its
entirety; d theme played in many keys,
but. with the same motif running
a1rough them all.
In the Permanent Way" is the name
Of the. second sketch and also of the
book. The subtle appropriateness of
the title ia gradually revealed in one
story after another of the natives, their
customs, aspirations and ideals ''in the
permanent way" of Western civiliza-
ton, its enterprise, ambitions and be-
lie9s. The strongest, touches Of pa
thos in the book are in the stories
where. Western thought and ideals
have been violently engrafted on the
traditions and habits Of the East, and
that the East sometimes grasps greedi-
1y at the Western spirit does not make
less fearful the inevitable wreck.
Western or Eastern, or with the spir-
its of the two mingled, the sketches
are one and all Of them in differ
ent and higher sense ''in the perma
nent way" the passions that are I'M
changing, the high emotions that be-
long to no race or place, are the key
notes to these sketches; love, sacrifice,
heroism-the human verities-are as
much the permanent way Of the soul
in India as in England, and because
Mrs. Steel has been able to give US
these things that remain and to sketch
them with fitting color and dramatic
power this volume of unpretending
tales will itself become one Of the
things that remain.

THE more I think of it, find this
conclusion more impressed upon me,
that the greatest thing a human soul
ever does in this world is to see some
thing. Hundreds of people can
talk for one who thinks, but thousands
can think Tor one who can see. To
see clearly is poetry, prophecy and
religion-all in one" So Neltje Blan-
