They are always showing up the bright side of the picture. But somehow or another we have heard about the rainy season in California, and now we read of it's torrid season. One of our eastern exchanges says: "Week before last was a hot one in California. Near Stockton, on Friday, the mercury rose to 1929 in the shade.

Chicago "A. private Liverpool
cable reads; War between En-
gland and France is absurdly i'm
probable. " a private Paris cable
reads: Markets unduly excited. =
The situation is evidently still
regarded as grave. Possible war,
light stocks and speculation are a
combination of conditions rarely
seen. Any opinion based on pre-
cedent is of little value.
The Paris correspondent of the

A dispatch from Madrid, Spain,
to the New York World says:
The Spanish dock yards show alb
solutely no signs of renewed actiY-

plying the remotest idea of renew
ing the struggle with the United
States. The vessels COMPOSING Ad-
miral Camara's fleet are dispersed
their crews reduced to peace with
footing. the majority of the officers
on leave and the marines ashore.
The notion of breaking off nego-
tiations over the Cuban debt is re-
garded as absolutely preposterous
and suicidal. Even as TO the Phil
ippines, by which vastly greater
store is set. it is taken for granted
here that Spain must in the long
run yield whatever the United
States insists upon"
