SPAIN MUST YIELD.
Statement by State Department Said
This Would BE Made Clear to
Spanish Peace Commissioners.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The state de-
partment last night gave out the fol
lowing statement concerning the dis
cussion between the memberss of the
cabinet and the peace commission yes
terday:
1.-The members of the peace commas
sion, with the exception of Senator
Gray, whose absence was due to his in
ability to withdraw as counsel in case
in which he was engaged sometime be-
fore his appointment as one of the peace
commissioners, have spent the greater
part of yesterday and today in a free
discussion of the duties with the dis
charge of which they have been en-
trusted by the president. Senator Gray
is expected during the evening, and be-
fore sailing will have full conference
with the president and his associates.
while for obvious reasons it was de-
termined that the nature of the instruc-
tions as to the negotiation about to be
entered upon should for the present be
kept secret and made known only after
letinite results shall have been reached,
it is possible to state authoritatively
that the commission goes to Paris fully

LONDON, Sept. 16.-The dispatches re-
ceived at the colonial Office from the

People are focking into Kingston, St.
Vincent, from all the country round for
shelter and food.
Sir Cornelius Moloney, governor OF
the Windward islands, cables that two
vessels were sunk and that the fate of
many others is unknown.
The governor of Barbados, Sir j. S.
Hay, reports that the hurricane was of
ten hours duration. Already he has
been officially notified of 81 deaths and
of 81 persons seriously wounded The
reports from the country districts are
incomplete, but there has been heavy
loss of government and private prop
erty. Assistance is urgently required

tocol, there can be no deviation from or
modification OF the demands made by
the United states.

is A MATCHMAKER.
Countess Cnstellane, Formerly Anna
Gould, Starts a Unique
Club In Paris.

Gossip from Paris tells curious
diversion or movement which The
Countess of Castellane, formerly Anna
Gould, has interested herself in. She
astonished all Paris by appearing in
the role of matrimonial matchmaker.
She is personally interested in curl
Gus matrimonial club whose purpose is
to encourage marriage.
The Partisan wits have derived no
end of amusement from this scheme,
saying that Countess Castellane has
been SO convinced of the benefits of
matrimony that she is anxious to ex-
tend them to I'LL who are unmarried.
The Countess Castellane's matrimonial
club is designed to bring about mar
riages between people who are SO
busy that they have no time for social
life. Clerks, small tradesmen, petty
officials, and students whose poverty
prevents them from appearing in so.
ciety are, according to the plan which
Countess Castellane is helping, to be
brought into social contact withyoung
girls of respectable parentage and life.
Clubrooms, where evening recep-
lions are to be held, are now being fit
ted up at the expense of the countess,
and she is at the head of committee
which is to investigate the standing OF
each applicant for admission.
The plan of trying to induce French.
men to marry portionless girls will
first be tried by the countess.

TEACHES BIRDS Tc ENG.
How Young Canaries Are Taught Pop.
ular Airs by Means of a
Music Box.

An interesting and successful expe.
riment with canary birds has been per-
formed by gentleman living in the
vicinity of Twenty-frst and Vine
streets, reports the Philadelphia Rec.
ord. This gentleman takes a dilet-
tante interest in the breeding of these
song birds. AS soon as the young birds
are Matched he takes them and puts
them apart in room where he has
placed small music box that initiates
the tone of canary and is constantly
playing the same piece. Here he keeps
them by themselves, allowing them to
hear only the tone of the music box, so
that the young birds, accustomed to
hear the same air played continually
by degrees become masters of it and
sing it alone. All that is necessary to
start them when they are silent is to
whistle the airs, and the birds will i'm
mediately join in. He has already
taught quite number of young birds
to sing and is now engaged in teach
ing three young ones the air Coming
Through the Rye" Although they are
only seven weeks old they sing the air
very clearly, and In two more months
they will have it quite perfect. The
gentleman does not teach the birds
with professional object, but as a
pleasure and a pastime, and takes
much pleasure in showing his wonder
full nets to his friends
