HE MEANT WELL.
bat Ills Carelessness Got Him Into
Trouble with His Girl.

A young gentleman, whose gallantry was
largely in excess of his pecuniary means.
sought to remedy this defect and save the
money required for the purchase Of expensive
flowers by arranging with gardener to let
him have bouquet from time to time IN re-
turn for his cast off clothes.
1t thus happened one day that he received
bunch Of the most beautiful roses, which
he at cnce sent of TO his lady love. In sure
anticipation of friendly welcome he called
at the house of the lady the same evening
and was not little surprised at the frosty
reception he met with.
"You sent me a note to-day" the young
lady remarked, after pause, in the most
frigid tones.

Certainly; along with some flowers"
"1o be sure sent you some flowers."
"And there was a note inside-do you still
mean to deny it?'
With these words she handed the dunn

following words were written: Don't for.

day for strengthening the military arm
of the service and providing for its in
crease to 1O4,O0 men il necessary.
This bill, he said, carried a small ap-
preparation and therefore would pass
the house in advance of action by the
senate. He supposed that Mr. Hull, who
introduced the bill in the house and
who is chairman of the military COM
mittee would get report on 1T very
soon and secure action by the house,
but he did not know whether it would
be treated as an emergency measure
or be acted on more deliberately. The
general desire was to secure the legis-
lation as soon as possible, and the
senate, he thought would act very
promptly after the house had passed

The house committee on public lands
agreed Friday on the New Mexico bill
allowing that territory to take imme-
diately about half of the lands to
which she would be entitled in event
of admission as a state. The bill is de-
signed to relieve the state from the re-
suit OF other parties culling the best
parts of the lands now available.
WASHINGTON, March l9.-Nothing OF
special Importance was developed at
Fridays cabinet meeting beyond the
fact that the report of the Maine court
OFF INQUIRY is not expected before the
early part of next week. AS has been
the case at every cabinet meeting dur
ing the last month and more, almost
the entire session was consumed in the
discussion of the Cuban situation, and
it can be stated on good author
ity that no plan OF ac-
ton will be definitely decided
upon pending the arrival of the report
on the Maine investigation. Every
phase of the several questions involved
is being carefully and thoroughly con-
sidered, and it is believed that very
soon after the report is received the
president, possibly in conjunction
with congress. will announce definite
policy. Until then nothing of de-
cisive character will be done or decid-
ed unOn

A DEFINITE POLICY.

War

The Sending Of the Torpedo Flotilia TO
Havans Will BE Considered an Overt Act
OF War
WASHINGTON, March l9-The policy
of the United States has been definitely
laid down, and it leads straight toward
the independence OF Cuba On the very
highest authority your correspondent
is enabled to describe the systematic
plans that underlie the apparently
vaciliating actions Of the admins
tration. 1t is not the intention Of this
government that SPANS naval
strength in Cuban waters shall be
further increased pending negotia-
tions for her entire withdrawal from
the island.
The torpedo flotilla, now at the Canar-
les. is not TO be allowed to reach Cuba.
The transfer of the Massachusetts,
and Texas-soon to be followed by the
New York-from Key West to Hamp-
ton Roads, will give the Spaniards a
good excuse for refraining from send
ing their torpedo boats any further
in this direction. II they per-
sist in dispatching their aotil-
la, the proceeding will be taken as
an overt act of war, and the flying
squadron, containing the swift New
York, Brooklyn, Minneapolis and Co
lumbia, will drop down from Hampton
Roads, which is more convenient start
ing point than Key West for such a
movement and intercept the Spanish
craft In the neighborhood of Porto
Rico.
Meanwhile the battleships would be
available for the defense OF any sea-
port threatened by a stray armor clad
