OUR LADY OF The SHOWS.

Out of the sun. out of the blast
Out of the world alone | passed
Across the moor and through the wood
To where the monastery stood
There neither lutte nor breat hing fife,
Nor rumor of the world Of life.
Nor condolences low and dear
Shall strike the mediiative ear.
Aloof, unhelpful and unkind.
The prisoners OF the iron mind.
Where nothing speaks except the bell.
The unfraternal brothers dwell.
And ye, o brethren, what if God
When from heavens top he spies abroad
And sets on this tormented stage
The noble war of mankind rage
What If his viyifyine eye,
. monks, should pass your corner by,
For stiil the Lord is Lord of might.
In deeds. in deeds he takes delight;
The pillow, the spear, the laden banks,
The field, the founded city marks.
He marks the smiler Of the streets,
The singer upon garden seats.
he sees the climber in the rocks
To HIM the shepherd folds his fiocks.
For those he loves that underprop
With daily virtues heaven : top
And bear the failing sky with ease,
CEfrownlng caryatides.
Those he approves that ply the trade,
That rock the child, that wed the maid
That with weak virtues. weaker hands
Sow gladness ON the peopled lands
And still with laughter, song and shout
Spin the great wheel Of earth about
But yer . ye who lingcr still
Here in your fortress on the hill,
With plaeid face, with tranquil breath
The unsought volunteers of death.
Our cheerful general on high
With careless looks may pass you byl

MISUNDERSTANDING WITH GARCIA.
General shafter Has Telegraphed Full Par
ticulars to the War Department.
The Cuban Was Displeased


Washington, July 30.--Thc War
department has received the following:
Santiago de Cuba July 29-''Have seen
the Sun of Saturday July 23, in which
comments are made as to my treatment
of General Garcia. | desire to say that
General Garcia was invited by me
personally to go into the City of Santiago
at time | entered it, but he declined
upon the ground that the Spanish civil
officers were left in power. 1t was fully
explained to him that those officials
were continued in power only until it
was convenient to change them for
others. General GBrcia's assistance to
me has been purely voluntary on his
part, and he was told at the beginning
that / did not exercise any control over
him, except such as he choose to give.
"The trouble with General Garcia was
that he expected to be placed in COM
mand at this place: in other words that
we would turn the city over to him. l
explained to him fully that we were at
war with Spain and the question of
Cuban independence could not be con-
sdered by me. Another grievance was
that on finding that several thousand
men had marched into the city without
opposition from General Garcia, | eX-
tended my own lines in front of him and
closed up the gap, as saw | had to de-
pend on my own men for any effective
investment at the place.

THE PHILIPPINE C0ALlNG STATION.
Matter Discussed in Naval Circles TROUBLE
Seems Inevitable Thought Manila
Has Not Surrendered.

Washington, July .30.-Some naval Of
fcers are urging, and their representa-
tions have been given weight. that the
whole island of Luzon is not too great
an expanse to support properly such sta
tion as the United States will require.
They point also to the difficulty that
would be encountered in defending a
station which does not occupy the whole
island upon which it is located On the
other hand, it is pointed out that there
are several hundred thousand semi
barbarous inhabitants on Luzon whose
government would oblige the United
States to keep considerable military
and naval force always on and about the
island with proper recompensc.
The statement of General Merritt,
contained in his cablegram received to-
day, that he probable would need all the
troops assigned to him was regarded as
q little ominous of trouble to come,
though whether this is to be with the
natives or is incident to the siege OF
Manila, is not evident. The generals
dispatch, it is supposed, was brought tc
Hongkong on the British gunboat
Plover, and as he makes no mention OF
the reported surrender of Manila, al
though his dispatch undoubtedly Il
dated from the Philippines, and that re
port is now looked upon as at'least pre-
mature. 1t is noticeable that, too, Ad
miral Dewey in his telegram made nj
reference to the reported surrender,
