London, August 6.-That extreme
diplomatic tension exists between St.
Petersburg and London is generally adj
mitted today. though the officials de-
preeatc the alarmist reports which were

1t is felt both here and on the CONT

Spanish and American Likely to Ohsc
Each Other.


Washington. Aug. G.-The announce
ment that the United States Government
will assume liability for the claims OF the
insurgents against the Spanish govern
ment on account of injuries and dam
ages sustained in the Cuban msurrec-
ton has caused the filing of large
number of claims with the State Depart
ment. Very many of these are not
based unon events occurring during the
last rebellion but date back for many
years and relate to excessive customs
collections. damages sustained through
municipal maladmnistration, alleged
Illegal confinement and such things.
On the other hand there are now
Spanish claims to the amount of SS,OOO.-
600 against the United States that in
the event of joint claims commission
being authorized would be proper offsets
to many Americans here. A large num-
her of these claims are made 10y Spanish
subjects on account of property destroy
ed or appropriated by the Confederate
troops during the Civil War. thus hav-
ing exactly the same basis as Il number
of claims filed by American citizens
against the Spanish Government for
property seized or destroyed by the in
surgcnts in Cuba. Another class of
these claims are of ancient date, flowing
from the ahortivc efforts of the commits
sioncrs and special courts created by
Congress. to settle the FLORIDA claims

that in the adjustment of peace terms,
our Government will ignore all claims

In Memoriam.
Clark Me,riman.

Clark Merriman, whose death
was announced a few weeks ago
in the columns of the local press,
was called from earth just when
his hopes and aims in life were
the highest. He had determined
to act his part in the great drama
of life, and his progress from that
of a student in a telegraph of
fee to responsible position. in
which he had the full confidence
of his employers, was clearly in
dicative of his determination to
succeed.
Calm on the bosom of thy God,
Fair spirit, rest the now!
Zen while with us thy footsteps trod.
His seal was on thy brow.
Dust to its narrow house beneath!
Soul, to its place on high!
They that have seen thy look in death,
No more may fear to die.
Lone are the paths and sad the hours.
Since thy meek smile is gone;
But o, brighter home than ours,
In heaven is now thy own.
Oh, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The reaper came that day;
An angle visited this green earth,
And took our boy away.
