New York. April ia dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says: All eyes are
directed toward Washington. Ii is felt
that the Cuban question has entered upon
its last stage, and that the chance for 4
peaceful solution is a very slender one.
One of the ministers said: We are
particularly gratitied by the way Spain is
spoken of by several senators. We re-
gard it as an indication that opinion i'll
the United States is not quite undivided
and We feel that if the cOunSels of the
modera minded could only prevail,
peace might be maintained even yet.
This reflection may be fully taken to
mean that the essential points of differ
ence between the two governments are
capable of a satisfactory adjustment if
the counseis of President Mckinley are
followed. and that all America could jus
ttiably demand would certainly be ac-
corded to the mere fact that negotia tons
would not necessarily be broken off after
the decision of Congress admits Ameri-
ca $ right to intervene. This being con-
coded clears the ground immensely and
with the chance of peace as an induce
ment. this government would spare no
efforts to remove the grievances of the
United States.
Everyone appears to realize that
Spain's actual hold on Cuba is lost. but
at the same time the people are united in
determination 10 cling to the senti-
mental bond that still exists between the
mother country and the island. No one
really hopes to keep that bond intact
should break out. but all are de
termined to make the victory of America
dearly purchased one.

between products had not changed,
but all had gone down in
relation to money, when a prominent
banker said: How do you recon

Because Of the cheapened products
there was no profit in production, and
that men in business could not afford

Cario Dealer.
Charlie Chan, a Chinese curio dealer
Of Colorado Springs, Colo, is a mathe-
matician whose ability to solve the
most intricate Of problems with almost
lightning capacity, by use Of Chinese
abacus, has Just come to light. Some
eastern tourists made purchases of
Chan the other day aggregating SSS9.S2.
These purchases ranged from cents
10 $35. The Chinaman took his rack,
and before the tourists were aware he
was counting and had the correct re-
suit. This excited the purchasers to
ask questions about the mode Of cal
culation, and to give Chan sums to do.
The party found that the merchant
from the Orient had marvellous talent
in handling figures. College professors
were told Of the prodigy, and to satisfy
themselves went to his shop. to put him
to test. Problems, ponderous and in
tricate, were given to him, but he
proved equal to them all, and displayed
a dexterity In handling his beads and
an accuracy in computation that caused
the professors to pronounce him a won
der. Chan is regarded as the veal
thiest Chinaman in Colorado and is a
successful business man of IS years
Of age. He proudly traces his ancestry
