COnOvaS Minister'S Views on
Autonomy and WeyIer.
NOR QUEEN NOR DYNASTY
Will be Left by the Time the
Trouble is Over.

Berlin. March 19.-The Lokal Anzeiger
publishes dispatch from Madrid giving
the substance of an interview with Senior
Romero Robledo, the former minister
Of justice, in which he classes Cuban au-
tonomy and the recalling of General Wey-
Ter as being the gravest of mistakes, and
adds:
General Blanco is unable TO subdue the
rebellion, which is worse than ever, and
the situation with America is most criti-
cal. I do not know how far the Ameri-
cans mean 10 go; but in any case, Spain
prefers war to humiliation. Nobody likes
to die. but sooner death than shame No
Spanish government could propose the
cession of Cuba for money. 1t was a
crime to dissolve the cortes at this critical
time. I hope everything goes well but
much fear the contrary. Then the poor
queen and the dynasty. who must assume
the whole responsibility for the conflict.

SENIOR CEBALLOs RELIEVED.
New York. March 19.-The Spanish min
lister at Washington has relieved ]. NJ.
Ceballos of further duty on the Cuban
autonomist committee. Whether the no
tice from Senior Polo was a surprise to
Senior Ceballos, is purely a matter of
inference, as in reply TO a direct ques-
ton Senior Ceballos merely said that he
was not surprised at-anything. He dis
missed as groundless any supposition that
there existed any friction between SPANS
representative and himself because of a
much-quoted interview with himself
which he had disavowed. He said:
81 have just been informed by the
Spanish minister that am not to act as
an auxiliary member of the committee
appointed by the autonomist Cuban gov
eminent to negotiate commercial treaty
and that this action on his part is taken
on account of my being an American by
birth. In having accepted the position
about ten days ago it was with a desire
on my part of assisting. if possible, the
members of the committee in technical
manner, but the moment that I find, as
reported by the newspapers. the powers
to be granted by the autonomist govern
ment of Cuba, the commission in Wash
ington will probably be much enlarged,
permitting them to extend outside of the
negotiation of a commercial treaty, con-
slider that my acting on the commission,
due to my nationality.
at have no doubt that the best inter-
ests of every American can rest in no
safer hands than those of President Nc
Kinley and in expressing myself as I do
I do but voice the sentiment of the con-
sentative element of this country"

MUSIC AND DRAMA

The engagement of the Sharpley Ly-
ceum Theater company, which commences
at the Crawford Grand Monday night. will
give an opportunity both to lovers of the
drama and concert to enjoy a week of
pleasure. Their plays are the latest and
we'll presented, and their orchestra and
concert band, with its solo musicians, has
a reputation second to none
Besides this their specialties are new
and numerous and plentifully interspersed
between acts. On the opening night any
lady accompanied by a lady or gentleman
holding paid reserved seat ticket, will
be given a reserved seat free of charge.

The Heroic Conduct of Young Eng
lish Women.
The report of the Royal Humane So
ciety is more than usually interestin G
this month. If evidence be wanted Of
the strength and courage and hardl-
hood Of our young women, here it is
with vengeance, otdfashioned folks
would add. The silver medal is granted
to Miss Fullerton, of Dudhope terrace,
Dundee: of such heroine every detail
is worth note. Miss Fullerton was
strolling on the Forfarshire coast. ap-
parently, when she observed a manu-
facturer in great distress out at sea.
We are not told whether she threw eff
any Of her clothes, but since the man
was seized with the cramp ard was
drowning it is to be supposed that she
did not. The distance was 300 yards
and the sea "heavy," but Miss Fuller
ton swami out. and, 'eXhorting the man
ufacturer to preserve his presence of
mind"-also holding him up''-she
conveyed him safely until boat picked
them up midway. This is something
like a ''record." Our fathers would not
have believed it possible for a girl to
swim a quarter of mile in her clothes
through heavy sea. but this brave
young athlete actually supported a
manufacturer-who run to weight as a
rule-in the agony of cramp.
Miss Joan Harris, of Belfast, also
plunged into the sea without undress-
ing and rescued a grown girl; further
circumstances are not given, but swim
mers know that it was feat. anyhow
Miss Louisa Bright. of Reading, too, did
not waste time in preparations when
she saw a schoolboy drowning in the
Kennel. 1t was not many years since
swimming was regarded as dubious
sort of accomplishment for women

HOW AMERICANS EAT.
Generally the Right Sort of Food and
Plenty of 1t.

It is cited as one of the explanations
of Chauncey NJ. Depew's remarkable
youthfulness and yigor and ability to
do many things without weariness to
himself or others that he is a scientific
eater; that he knows just what to put
into his stomach and how much of ii to
take. The menu at the swellest ban
quet may fairly glisten with the richest
prizes of the chef, but DR.. Depew gives
one swift glance down its mystifying
nomenclature, and. selecting one
probably the plainest of the lot, says:
THAT" And when others have gorged
and stuffed and feel like Christmas tree
cornucopias, the doctor is as fresh as
a summer girl and his stomach as easy
as that of the prize baby who was
brought up on Cupid's infant food
Much criticism has lately been direct
ed against our American hotel bills of
fare by foreign visitors, especially these
vito came over last fall and winter and
went back home and wrote about their
experiences. They found too much on
the ist-too much sameness, too much

to the necessity of selecting what they
needed, and n that they have the SYM
pathy Of all good Americans, fer the
average bill of fare is test of human
patience; but it is better to have too
much than toe little. And it is especial

il so happens that the man who can eat
the American breakfast has no need of
doctors, and he is the factor who has
made this country what it is. The very
fact that Te have been able to- evolve
from the broken-down and dyspeptic
and secondhand material sent to these
shores from the other side a race Of SUI
perior people, with women more beau
tlful than the world had hitherto
known. with men who have done more
things than any in the worlds history.
and have been able to build up nation
greater than any on earth, is pretty
good proof that if Americans eat too
much they eat the righr sort of food
