ANXIOUS FOR PEACE.
Not Expected That the Negotiations viii
he Protracted.

London, July ga special dispatch
from Madrid says: The government
does not conceal that 1t hesitated for
some days to 60 beyond al unofficial
explanation at Washington, because
the diplomatic agents employed TO
make the ~soundings gave conflicting
of President Mckinley's dis
position. One represented him as ca
ger to terminate the war on moderate
conditions: the other that the most on
erous conditions would be imposed, so
the Madrid government hought IL use
less to sue officially.
When, however, II was seen that the
American war preparations continued,
Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister of
foreign affairs, was instructed to send
the note. The cabinet met Wednesday
evening to deliberate as to the best
means and ann of negotiation.
Paris and London were both discussed.
No decision was arrived at, but a ma
jority favored sending Senior Moret, for
mer minister to the colonies, oil a spe-
cisl mission to London to negotiate the
treaty of peace with Ambassador Hay.
Official feeling favors direct negotia-
tions without interference from out
siders, even with regard to the Philip
pines. There is little doubt that II
President McKinley's reply proves an
acceptable basis, the negotiations will
not be ~protracted, since Spain, for
many reasons, is DESTROYS of a speedy
settlement, and not the least so be-
cause at h present moment public
opinion Is calm.
After to-day's cabinet council Senior
Sagasta. the premier. said he had
grounds for hoping that an understand
ing might be arrived at. but he could
say nothing definite. Duke Almodovar
de Rio said the European cabinets had
been informed of the step Spain had
taken, but not as to the text of the
note sent to President Mckinley. The
cabinet counc will not meet again un.
til Friday evening. by which time

Didn't Like the Tune.
From the New York sun.

FROM the New 1OTk sun.
They are telling a story at the navy
yard about Captain Richard Leary Of the
San Francisco. When that vessel was lost
at the yard for repairs her band played
every night for the men at quarters and
later for the officers mess. 1t seems that
Captain Leary was very fond of one air
called la Paloma," and almost every
evening after the band had finished the
regular programme the captain would
send out a request that La Paloma" be
played. Now. the crew of the San Fran
cisco are loyal Americans TO a man. BY a
simple process of reasoning II became
evident to them that la Paloma." from
Its name. must be a Spanish air. Gb,s
was enough to make the tune obnoxious
to the crew.
Captain Leary. in blissful ignorance OF
the ments trouble he was causing MS
men, continued TO ask for his favorite air.
One night there came a crisis IN the mat
ter. The men were scattered about The
decks when a messenger came forward
with the usual request.

ture Jim Hickey. sprinsing up. Lets
queer the blame Dago tune"
Standing near by were scrap buckets
containing the remains OF the evening
meal. When the band struck up the Of
fensive air each man grabbed a cold po-
tato or anything else that came handy
and let fly at the musicians. The men
proved that they could throw straight a.
well as shoot straight. The band kept On
with true Yankee fortitude, but Il was In
very discordsnt fashion that la Pa

much as anyone. He has found a new

A MINISTER'S EIGHT RULES.
That viii Insure the Success Of His
Church and Pastoral Work.

Mrs. Lyman Abbott. In the July La
dies Home Journal, lays down eight
rules that are essential to a minister's
successful church and pastoral work.
These she has the minister himself pro-
claim:
/. ! must be always ready to call when
invited.
2. Must catch at every straw Of an err
rand to take me to one of my people.
3. Draw out from others their inter
ests rather h intrude my own, but
always assume a common interest in
the Improvement of the town.
4. Never leave a house without hav-
ing something on which to hang an
other call.
5. Never meet a person with criti-
cism or fault-flnding
8. Prepare for calling as truly as for
preaching.
I. Study especially the Masters way
and try to carry his spirit with me.
s. Keep always in mind that Il Is my
business to bring men TO a conscious
ness OF God, and TO an understanding OF
their relationship with Hin.

Italy Is Teaching Colombia to Pay Her
Bills.
Washington. July 2s.-The demand of
Italy on Colombia for the settlement of
the Cerruti claim has not yet been COM
piled with. and there is still a possibili-
ty that the case may assume a grave
aspect. Some days ago Colombia made
an offer to settle II the Italian fleet left
Colombia waters. thus relieving the re-
public FROM the humiliation of acting
under pressure. But il is understood
that The Italian government pointed out
that Colombia had been informed of
the proposed arrival of the squadron at
Cartagena and therefore had time for
the execution Of the award. and thus TO
eliminate every appearance of coercion.
1t appears, however. that the instruc-
tions to the Italian admiral gave him
discretion as TO the mode of proceeding
and allowed him to give due courtesy
to Colombia should time be asked for.
For this reason II Is understood the
admiral fixed a period of 20 days with
in which the claim should be paid.
Whether his is an ultimatum Is not
clear. but in view of Italy's position
the action of the admiral appears to be
very near. IL not quite. an ultimatum
to Colombia. There has been much
difficulty In learning the exact course
of the admiral, owing to the bad cable
service, and the Italian government for
a long time was unaware whether the
admiral had submitted his original de-
mand for speedy payment.
The report brought by a steamer ar
irving at New York that the American
consul at Cartagena had protested and
that the Italian admiral had cable1

RIDICULOUS IDEAS.

The very latest and certainly the
most original argument in favor of Ger
man interference in American affairs is
advanced by the "F'reie Presse" of Chi
cago. 1t points out that Germany has
a good excuse for wishing TO appro-
pirate other parts of the earth, because
her births number 100000 annually in
excess Of her deaths. She must, there
fore. territorially expand and have
places wTereon TO plant her augment
ing population. In the United States
no.such problem 'confronts us. We have
room in plenty and TO spare at home.
says the adroit "Presse."
This is nope ingenious than witty.
Does not the German paper take into
consideration that the Yankee is a
thoughtful fellow, and is looking out
for the future? When he gets over his
business hurry he may take to raising
a family himself. But of all the absurd
ideas which have emanated as yet from
the German press there is that of the
New York ''Staats Zeitung," which
points out that in Germany there is
Irritation because Americans are send
ing negroes and Indians to Cuba in our
armies TO do our fighting for us. 1t re-
minds the Germans, it is said, OF the
baI9barism- of the French who employed
TUri1os as soldiers in 1870 against Ger
many. The "Zeitung," by applying it
self, may discover in this a field for
missionary work among the Germans
IN Germany, by sending it's prints TO
ohat land literally, explaining to the
people that the negro is an American
citizen. that he has precisely the same
right in the army as a German or a
Yankee. and that we have not many
of the dark colored race in arms, two
regiments at the outside. As for In
d4ans, who has told the benighted OF
faderland such a fairy story?

same ratio has prevailed in the nom

WANTED, AN AMERICAN HYMN

That literary review, "The Book
man." says that with audiences at the
East THE Star-Spangled Banner is
the piece de resistance and that the
audiences always rise when it is played
and when opportunity offers join in
introduced here, as the Record U Union''
has repeatedly said.
But THE Bookman' is moved to
speak of the hymn America" as a
hybrid fake" and declares that it is
not much accepted at the East, and in
fact is being ignored quite generally.
1t is held that it is not a genuine
American song, but a poor copy after
the English God Save the Queen" and
that it is not in good taste to use it be-
cause it is copy. If it is sung as
God Save the Queen we'll and good,
says '"The Bookman" "Then we might
rise to it out Of respect for a people
sympathetic with US.
But" it adds, there is no reason on
earth for stealing the English anthem
and calling it our own just because a
certain Mr.. Smith once wrote some
mushy balderdash to its sonorous music
and called the incongruous compound
America"
This is harsh criticism and not wholly
deserved. Smiths words are by no
means balderdash. They do not rank
loftily poetic in form, but beyond ques-
ton they are lofty in spirit, inspiring,
well adapted to the devotional thought
and full of the feeling and earnestness
which are needed to move upon the
heart.
If there is no merit in the words then
the hymn has belied the truism that
only that lives which deserves to live.
America" has lived, and we believe
It will continue to. But we are free to
confess that it is not the ideal Ameri-
can hymn. Keller's is better. 1t has
the merit of originality in words and
meter 1t is far more tuneful and is
more easily sung by the multitude.
Why not revive Keller's American
hymn?
