A Rare Coincidence.

While lunching picnic fashion upon
the Mer de Glace a party Of tourists
were surprised by woman who, letter
In hand, emerged from the neighboring
hotel. The party consisted of husband
and wife, two daughters, a young girl
friend who was travelling with them
and courier and guide. The woman
eyed the crowd for a minute, and, then,
rushing straight up to the young girl,
she asked her to mail the letter. "It
will get there so much sooner if you
don't mind carrying it down with you"
said the woman; "otherwise / shall
have to wait until tomorrow when the
regular postman comes" The whole
proceeding was so sudden and so char
acteristic Of women that the girl was
inclined to laugh, but she pocketed the
letter and promised to mail it as re-
quested.
Your face was your fortune that
time, remarked the man OF the party
on the way down. "That woman looked
US over we'll before she picked upon
you. / suppose she saw that you were
one who could be trusted not to forget
to mail letters.
Now the point Of this story is not
that the girl forgot to mail the letter,
for she didn't, nor that it was the man
Of the party who had to remind her Of
it, for she needed no reminding, but
that just before posting the missive the
girl happened to glance at its super
scription. 1t was directed to her mother.
The girl could hardly believe her eyes,

mother, whom she hadn't seen for so
many months and at her own home ad-
dress. The girl sent a letter home upon
her own account and learned that the
woman was an old friend whom the
mother had not seen for many years and
whom the girl had never seen, though
often heard Of. When the two, woman
and girl, afterward met to know each
other for the, first time, they agreed

FIXED WITH GOMEZ.
He is Preparing to March ON
Havana With 10000 Men.

Jacksonville, Fla, April 12-The Gu
portant letter from Gen. Gomez via Key
West.
While it's contents have been guarded
very carefully and the main portion
sent to the New York junta's office, yet
it is ascertained that it brings news
that Gomez is preparing to cooperate
with the United States forces in case
of war in an attack upon Havana.
Calixto Garcia has passed the trocha
and he and Gomez, with some $4,000
troops, are now marching westward and
toward Havana The insurgents are re-
cruiting in all sections and from good
authority it is ascertained that Gomez
promised to have from $4,000 to 10000
troops behind Havana to aid in reduc-
ing it.
The letter added that the Spanish Off
GERS there were greatly worried over the
news of Gomez's approach and that
troops had been called into Havana and
that much work was being done in
throwing up new earthwOrkS in the rear
of the city and otherwise strengthening
the forts in that section.
The insurgents, so the dispatch said,
hailed with joy the intervention of the
United States, and their ranks are be-

This must be borne in mind in order
to understand why most of the pend

The only clear result attained, as the

Senate Committee Will Report
i'll Favor of Driving
Spain Out,

Washington, April 1.-THE senate
foreign relations committees conclusion
so far as a conclusion has been reached
is to report all the Foraker resolutions
except the second, together with a
strong preamble recitiL:g the Maine dis
aster as cause for deep resentment on
the part of this government. Unless
the committee changes it's decision the
following, in addition to the preamble
are the resolutions which will be report
ed by the committee;
First-That the people of the island
of Cuba are and of right ought to be
free and independent.
Second-That the war Spain is waging
against Cuba is so destructive of the com
mercial and property interests of the Unit
ed States and so cruel, barbarous and in
human in its character as to make it the
duty of the United States to demand and
the government of the United States does
hereby demand that she at once withdraw
her land and naval forces from Cuba and
Cuban waters.
Third-That the president of the United
States is hereby authorized, empo wered
and directed to use, if necessary, the entire
land and naval force of the United States
to carry these resolutions into effect.

M'KINLEYS WAY.
He Would First Ask Spain to Set
Out.

New York, April pa special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Should the president be clothed with
authority to use the military and naval
forces to intervene solely for the pur-
pose of establishing peace and order in
Cuba, he proposes to exercise it first by
transmitting to Spain a, copy of the res
olution, with the statement that his OBJ
legations require him to carry out the
will of congress and a notification that
he will do so at once, unless Spain
Withdraws from the island.
In other words, the president will de-
liver an ultimatum to Spain before
making a naval demonstration, in the
hope that Spain may at the last mo-
ment consent to a concession of the
independence of the people of the is
land, upon an indemnity, or upon some
other basis which may be satisfactory
to all parties involved If war should
then come whether holy or 'unhOly''
he will feel that the responsibility is on
Spain.
The one significant sign of peace is
that diplomatic relations between the
United States and Spain have not been
severed as a result of the message to
congress. It is true that all of our
consuls have been called out of Cuba
and this would indicate a preliminary
sign of war; but our minister is still at
Madrid and Spain's representative is
still here.

CUBANs WILL RISE
In a Body at a Signal From the
United States.

New York, April 12.-Chief Officer
FRANK Crosslin of the British steamer
Alodene, which has just arrived from
Matanzas, Cuba, said:
when the American army reaches
Cuba, the people will flock to it's ranks.
All CubanS want, is a surety of help
and they will rise in a body. They were
won by the magnificent gifts of clothing
and food and are longing for American
interference and many of them want
to become part of the states.
The Spanish soldiers are among the
weakest specimens of humanity that
could be found anywhere and the most
dissatisfied lot. Most of them are boys
who are poorly clothed, poorly fed, new
er paid and homesick all the time. De-
SertiOnS are frequent.
The Cubans are pinning their faith
on the United States and waiting for a
signal, to rise in thousands. They could
under no circumstances be brought to
fight against the United States, junta
or no junta To this country they look
for their liberty"
From the deck of the vessel, he said,
every night confiagrations could be seen
in every direction outside of Havana
and Matanzas, caused by the burning
of crops and plantation buildings.
One of the engineers of the steamer
Saratoga, which has just arrived from
the south coast of Cuba, said:
Around Manzanillo the skies were
aglow at night with the fires of the
blazing plantations. The misery in the
towns is dreadful No sooner does a
ship tie up than there is a crowd of poor
creatures around her begging for food.
The feeling against Americans is very
bitter among the Spanish part of the
population"
IF something is not done now,' in
terjected a younger engineer, ''the life
of an American sailor in any of the
South American countries will he un-
bearable. They say, with a grin:

all talk; no fight

ONLY A QUESTION OF TIME
Saws a London Times Correspondent
at Madrid.

London, April 1.-THE Madrid cor
respondent OF the Standard says:
1.-THE most important feature in the
new stage of the relations between
Spain and the United States is the fact
that Spain having granted at the re-
quest of the pope and the powers, a
suspension of hostilities, which she had
persistently refused to grant when
President Mckinley suggested it, the
American government and diplomacy
now considers their hands free, as they
were no party to the arrangement thus
made by the pope and the powers with
Spain.
1.-The contention is that Spain hay
ing taken upon herself to grant uncon-
ditionally this suspension of hoStilitieS
without any mutual agreement or mu-
tual conditions between American and
Spanish governments nothing can be
