PROCTOR FAVORs ACTION AT ONCE
The senator Thinks This Country Is
Superior to Spain.

/ NEW YORK, April 2, 1S98.-Senator
Proctor, of Vermont, was interviewed at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, today. In reply
| to a question as to what he thought of
the situation today, he said:-'I believe
| the time has come to act. The time for
recognizing the beligerency of the Cubans
| is past. The thing to do now, and the
only thing which can do the Cubans any
good, is to recognize the independence
of Cuba
Would the recognition of the indepen-
dence of the Cuban republic by the United
States be grounds for the declaration Of
war by Spain?''
| IF my memory serves me right, the
recognition of the American colonies by
other countries when we were, like the
| Cubans, fighting to throw off the yoke of
the mother country, was not equal to a
declaration Of war. If Spain chose to re-
gard our action as declaration of war,
of course that would be her prerogative' =
"Do you think this country is in a good
condition to go to war with Spain at the
present timer
"Our coast defences are in much better
condition than most persons imagine.
do not think that all of Spain's warships
could do much damage to lives or prop
erty on American soil.
"All the forts along our coast which
stand ais guards to our big cities have
been modernized, and are perfectly able
to keep Spanish warships at a safe dis
tance.
| of Spain's. Still we would be running the
usual chances in war If we were to en-
gage in a naval battle The prowess of
modern steel Warships is an unknown
quantity. A big battle at sea would be
an experiment. But viewed from every
standpoint, i think that all the chances
are In favor Of the American Navy.
do you think that diplomacy has
failed?s was asked, as the Senator arose
to go to breakfast.
That question may be answered next
Monday shall be in my seat when the
Senate opens on Monday, and Il there is
an emergency to deal with Alt that time,
that war could be aVerted. but cannot
say that expecf that It Will be eyerfed. g

PRICKLY HEAT.

The mother whose children suffer in hot weather from prickly heat will be glad to Know that if she will put bak- ing soda into the water in which her children are bathed she may do much towards preventing tn earival of the irritating malady. She should not wait until the rash appears before she adopts this simple means to stop it's progress, but may all through the summer have soda added to, the little ones bath water. In one family where this precaution was taken none of the children was troubled with prickly heat during the entire season, although every preceding year the small boys and girls had been literally peppered with the distressing eruption.-Har- per's Bazar

PAIL MALL FOR AUGUST.

The August CT summer number of the Pall Mail Magazine is an enlarged one, and contains a long and unusu- ally attractive table of contents
 Probbly the most important feature in the number is paper by Vice Ad- miral P H. Colomb of the British navy, one of the greatest naval authorities of the day, who discusses the Lessons of the Present War" so far as it has gone There are certain bread and far reaching lessons in this war, writes Admiral Colomb, that nobody misses, or could miss. A state before she goes to war had better be prepared for war If she is not habitually prepared for war, then she had better temporize and get things ready before she commits herself to it. It will be not only safer. but cheaper in the end.
 Another article of very great inter est at this time in the August Pall Mall Magazine is contributed by MT. David Hannay, who, from an intimate knowl- edge Of Spain and the Spaniards, throws considerable light upon the Spanish character.
 The August number of the PaII Mall Magazine is especially rich in fiction. s. Francis Harrison contributes very amusing short story of an American summer rescrt entitled "A Social Ano- maly;" and Miss B. Nesbit gives us the last of her charming and inimitable short stories of children entitled ssLo. the Poor Indian" In this number of the magazine too begins MT. S. R. Crockett's brilliant new serial entitled "The Silver Skull''-a story of brig andage in Italy in the first part of the century.
 Two other excellent short stories. "A Youthful of Husks." by Oswald Barron; and Mrs. Omadu's Totem" by George Leatherdale, conclude the fiction Of this number.
 The Pall Mall Magazine also con- tains an article entitled Recent Amer ican Verse by MT. Wm. Archer. the we'll known dramatic and literary crit ic, who gives his impressions of scme among the younger contemporary poets Of America; the second of MT. Clark Russell's fascinating articles, tracing the evolution of the naval ar chltecture Of the world frcm the dug cut" of prehistoric times down to the modern man-of-war; an exquisitely illustrated article dealing with her ma1esty's private silver plate in use at Windsor castle, in which the writer dissipates long cherished illusion as to the existence of solid gold service at Windsor; charming article by the Hon. Mrs. Boyle, on Hunter eombe," especially dealing with it's fa- nous garden; and several fine poems.

WHEN MY BOY IN BLUE COMES
 HOME.

When my boy in blue comes home. My heart will sweetly sing; His ragged uniform will tell
 That war is no slight thing. The sight of him will ease. 1 know, The burden of my fears. And in that gladsome meeting
 There'll yet be room for tears, When my boy in blue comes home. When my boy in blue comes home There1l be time for mirth; If 'tis in the midst of winter
 Twill be spring for me on earth. The trouble, the bewildering care, The daily fearful dread Which binds my heart in iron chains, All these things will be dead, When my boy in blue comes home When my boy in blue comes home, Life's path will seem quite straight; The sight of him will open wide Hopes ivory love-lit gate. The flowers will bloom in beauty. The stars will shine on high, The birds will sing so joyously, My heart will cease to sigh When my boy in blue comes home. My boy in blue, God bless him! He left at honor's call; To him twas simple duty;
 gave him up, my all! My boy in blue. God love him! And bring him back to me. And guard and guide his footsteps For all eternityi
