Powers Want Spain to Quit.

London, May 26-The Star claims to
have information that the French minis
ter for foreign affairs, NJ HantOux, is
making great efforts to stop the Span
ish-American war. 1t says that Russia,
Austria and France are endeavOring to
induce Germany and Italy to join in a
representation to President Mckinley
declaring that the powers will induce
Spain to grant the independence Of
Cuba.
Should America refuse intervention it
is further alleged the powers mentioned
would send a fleet to put Cuba under in
ternatiOnal rule, as was done with the
island of Crete, until the withdrawal Of
the Spanish forces and the constitution
of regular local government. 1t is
further said that these powers would

the war threatens the general peace of

AlVer.

The Twenty-second regiment Of Kan
sas volunteers left Topeka over the Mis-
souri, Pacific last Wednesday, for Camp
Alger, near Falls Church, in Virginia.
This regiment made remarkably quick
time in getting started An immense
crowd of people were out to witness its
departure. 1t was marching down Kan
sas avenue at 2 o'clock and the last sec
tion of the train left the depot at 3
o'clock.
This regiment went to the depot in
splendid order. All Of the officers en-
titled to horses were mounted. They
made a splendid appearance. The vet
Grams of Topeka, led by Marshalls band,
headed the march. The regiment in
battalions followed. The companies
marched in platoons, and notwithstand-
ing the lack Of uniforms they made q
good appearance. The regimental band
led the third battalion. Colonel Lind
sey, accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel
Graham, led the first battalion. Major
Harvey, at the head of the second, re-
ceiVed an ovation. Major Chase Doster
was in command of the third. An i'm
mense crowd was at the depot and the

Polo Says Spain viii Give Up Cuba.

VhV @"Ny OP" WI INV ~ ONNN"'
New York, May 25.--A special from
Quebec says:
Senior Polo, before sailing from Que
bee for Europe, conflded to friend the
original intents of Admiral Cerveras
squadron. 1t appears that the Spanish
fleet, being acknowledged unable to meet
the American vessels, was to avoid it
and cause all the damage it could to the
American coast. Among other places to
be bombarded was Portland, and an at
tempt was to be made to blow up
powder mill near that place. Senior Polo
succeeded in making satisfactory ar
rangements for the coaling of the feet,
but the agreement was broken owing to
American influence in the coal concern.
The news of this fact drove the Spanish
feet from the original intention of
touching at Cape Breton and made them
take refuge at Santiago de Cuba. Since
then the Spanish feet has left on its
journey to Cadiz.
Spain's tactics will be to trust to
fever, General Blanco's soldiers and the
terrible expense daily incurred by the
American government, and she will
not risk a repetition of the Manila dis
aster. "In the fall" the late Ambassa-
dor said, "Spain will abandon Cuba, after
having made here enemy pay dearly for
its victory"

WEAVING Lambs.

WEAVING should be done gradually,
says American Sheep Breeder. Lambs
viii, and should, wean themselves, II
the right way is taken. This is to get
them to eat sufficient food as soon as
possible, SO that they will not follow
the ewes SO closely. Three MOTHS is
quite long enough for the ewes to nurse
their lambs, and these may be weaned
at the end of this period without any
difficulty. If the lambs are to be sold.
1t is all the more desirable to begin
gradually the weaving from the ewes
milk. 1t is better for the ewes as well
as the lambs. But it is indispensable
that the ewes should be kept apart
from the flock from the separation OF
the lambs until the risk from over
stocked udders has been safely passed.
1t will be a safe way TO put the ewes
on dry hay feeding when first sepa-
rated from the lambs, SO that the milk
flow will be lessened. And, If it is pos
sible, it will also be safe to keep the
ewes from the lambs, except once day
for short time, so as to make the
drying off from the milk gradually, and
so free from risk. Caution is to be OBJ
served. too, in turning the ewes too
suddenly on the green feeding. lest the
milk flow may be unduly increased.
To divide the pasture by hurdles, CIV
ing the ewes only a small taste of
grass at first for few days, will be a
desirable precaution to be observed.
Many ewes are seriously injured, or
to their safety at this season. If the
lambs are to be reared, and the ewes
have plenty of good green feed, it will
be better for the lambs to be weaned
along with the ewes.

| Washington, July s.-The president
called council of war to meet
at the White House, the purpose being
to review the situation and learn ex-
actly what the present conditions are
and what changes if any should be
made in the plans for the future con-
duct of the war. According to one of
the members present, it was decided
to abide by the plans already laid, at
least as to the general conduct of the
campaign. Confirmation seemed to
have been given to this statement later
in the day when, after a conference
with the members of the war board,
Secretary Long announced to the wait
ing newspaper men that he had order
ed Admiral Sampson to detach from
his own command immediately the
vessels to be embraced in Commodore
Watson's eastern squadron and to d.
rect the commodore to proceed on his
mission.
The vessels of the squadron will not
be the same as those originally select
ed, for the reason probably that the
recent engagement with Cervera's
squadron necessitated some changes.

of the battleships Iowa and Oregon, the
protected cruisers Newark and the

Off Juragua, July assistant Naval
Constructor Richmond P. Hobson of
the flagship New York and the seven
seamen who, with him, sailed the col
lier Merrimac into the channel of the
harbor of Santiago de Cuba on June 8
last, and sunk her there, were sur
rendered by the Spanish military au-

tured by the American forces. Hob
son and his men were escorted through
the American lines by Captain Chad
wick of the New York, who was wait

journey was marked by the widest
demonstrations on the part of the
American soldiers, who threw aside all
semblance of order, scrambled out of
the entertainments, knocked over the
tent guys and other camp parapherna-
liza in their eagerness to see the re-
turning heroes, and sent up cheer after
cheer for the men who had passed
safely through the jaws of death to

In Alabama, has any race prejudice, he
certainly forgot all about it as he pass
ed through the lines of soldiers on his

Tenth cavalry, and expressed his
thanks for the patriotic welcome with
as much heartiness as he displayed to-

A Significant Remark of the Dutch officer
to Bismarck.
Just at the time when vague reports
We're beginning to creep abroad that
Germany was meditating fresh extern
sion of her frontier at the expense of
Holland, a Dutch official of high rank
happened to be visiting the court of
Berlin, and among other spectacles got
up to amuse him, review was organ
lied at Potsdam.
What does your Excellency think of
our soldiers?" asked Prince Bismarck,
as one of the regiments came march
ing past in admirable order.
"They look as If they knew how to
fight" replied the visitor, gravely,
"but they are not quite tall enough"
The Prince looked rather surprised,
but made no answer, and several 9TH
er regiments filed past in succession;
but the Dutchman's verdict upon each
was still the same-"Not tall enough"
At length the grenadiers of the
guard made their appearance-a mag
nincent body of veterans, big and
stalwart enough to have satisfied even
the glant-loving father of Frederick
the Great; but the inexorable critic
merely said, Fine soldiers, but not
tall enough"
Then Prince Bismarck rejoined:
"These grenadiers are the finest men
in our whole army. May l ask what
your Excellency is pleased to mean by
saying they are not tall enough?"
The Dutchman looked him full in
the face and replied with significant
emphasis: Il mean that we can flood
our country IL feet deep."-Tid Bits.
