CUBAN WAR Is SPREADING.
60 Says Sagasta, the Liberal Spanish
Leader

go Says Sagasta, the Liberal Spanish
Leader.
Senior Sagasta, the Spanish liberal lead
er, in an interview on the subject of the
Cuban instruction, says that the upris-
ing, instead Of dying out, is spreading
considerably. In addition, Senior Sagasta
says, the situation in the Philippine ISL
ands is serious. He also asserts that the
Carlist propaganda in Spain cannot be
viewed with Indifference, and expresses
the telef that reconciliation between
the political parties in Spain is impossi-
bic so long as the conservatives are in
power. In conclusion Senior Sagasta
says: "In my opinion the cortes will not
meet, but if it does meet its existence
is ephemeral." The liberal leader refused
to express himself regarding the relations
between the United States and Spain. The
position Of the Bank Of Spain continues
to greatly concern commercial circles, ow-
ing to it's immense note circulation. Paris
exchange has reached 31.50, the highest
on record. As the bank has lent the
state 100000 pesetas, repayable, without
interest, in 1920, its affairs would become
critical in the event Of the bank incur
ring losses on loans, in the absence of suf-
ficient guarantees against current &C
counts and note circulation.

Eight years ago ]. f. Taylor was en-

roReErFuLNEss KILLS FIVE.
Wreck Said to BE Due to an Engineers
Blunder. 7t.


Blunder. 5Et
Five killed, three injured and one mar
row escape is the result Of a head-end col
iision on the Wisconsin Central sRailway
between two freight trains at Howard,
Wis. THE freights were Nos. 81, west
bound, loaded with generaEmerehandise,
and "a, east bound, loaded chiefly with
-four from Minneapolis Ten. cars Of
freight, together with both locomotives,
were derailed and ditched and more or
less damaged. The track was soon
cleared Of debris and no through trains
were delayed. The west-bound freight,
No. 81, was delayed somewhat and passed
Irvine considerably behind time. 1t is
supposed that the engineer, being behind,
forgot that he was to pass No. 24 near
that point and was consequently running
through at the usual speed. No telegraph
orders were involved, as both trains were
regulars and trainmen had standing or
ders regarding the passing. Charles
Horn, conductor of No. n, claims that he
still had one minute to make the switch
before the scheduled time of No "a. Train
No. 81 had the right Of way and was in
charge of Conductor Washington, Of Min
neapOlis.

The Power Which Drives.


Jesus did not create goodness-her
fair form had been already carved In
white marble by austere hands; His
Office was to place soul within the
ribs Of death till the cold stone chang
ed into living body. Before Jesus,
goodness was sterile; since Jesus, good
ness has blossomed; He fortified it
with His spirit. 1t was theory; II
became a force. He took the corn,
which had been long stored in the
granaries Of philosophy, and sowcd It
in the soft spring earth; He minted the
gold and made IL the current coin.
Christianity is to religion what steam
is to the mechanics--the power which
drives. Jesus wrote nothing; He said
little, but He did what He said and
made others do as He commanded. His
religion began at once to exist; from
the beginning II was a life. 1t is the
distinction of Christianity that 1t goes.
This is why some of us, in spite OF ev-
cry intellectual difficulty, must believe
Jesus to be the Son of God-He has
done what no other ever did, and what
only God could do. He Is God because
He discharges n God function. "--Iau
Maclaren.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Prisoner Of Zenda.


The story of the play begins with a
glimpse at an escapads Of the Red
Elphberg In London century and a
half ago. This young prince, heir 10
the throne of Ruritania, happens to be
engaged in an intrigue with an English
noblewoman, in defense Of whose good
name he fights duel. The duel Is tho
great picture of tho prologue of the play.
Nothing in contemporary drama con-
tains such world OF action packed into
small space assthis prologue. The way
Mr.. Rose has put color upon color IN
this picture, producing effects such as an
impressionist painter might strive IN
vain to equal upon canvas, raises the
prologue far above the mere prefaclal
function of such things in ordinary.
The prologue sounds the note Of the
drama. For four acts it is life which one
feels and sees in the cataract of Incident,
and with extraordinary skill the author
allows..no one breathing spell to reflect
whether such things could happen. They
do happen right here before you and you
