After three years of struggle in
Cuba, we were nearing the end of the
trouble which certainly would have
been ended three months ago, but for
Americas aid. That nation, believing
she had created by underhand means
thousand embarrassments, but that
nevertheless she would not be able to
attain the object of her ambition, at
last threw off the mask, and when the
insurrection was on its last legs conf
menced against us the most unjust war
in the history of the world.
Spain" the Admiral continued, did
not wish for war. Her conduct proved
this. She conceded everything a self
respecting nation could concede, but the
Americans, whose ambition is insati-
able. always asked for something more
and even what belonged to us-that
land discovered by SDaniards led by
Columbus
Forward, then. to the war, since we
are forced thereto by the American s
blind ambition. But let US enter the
combat as the SpanlardS or OLD, StfonS
in their rights and trustful in God, who
will never abandon just cause and
who will aid our efforts.
Il need not enjoin discipline upon you,
for during the past six months you
have been under my command, / have
only had cause for congratulation. Nor
need I call on you to do your duty con-
scientiously, especially during the
watches, which will often be most try
ing. Still less need 1 urge you to dis
play courage. You are Spaniards, and
that is sufficient in war.
Then, when 1 lead you to battle,
have confidence in your chiefs and the
nation, whose eye is upon you, will see
that Spain to-day is the Spain of all
time. y

COSTLY FIRE.
Over a Million Dollars Worth of

ATTLEBORO (Mass), May 1.-THE
catastrophe that had been feared for
years, because of the crowded situation
of jewelry factories of AttIeboro, rep
resenting practically the towns entire
industrial wealth, at last came to
broad reality early this "wednesday
morning. The fine three and four story
jewelry factories on either side of Mill
street caught fire at 1870 o'clock and
in an incredibly short time were burned
to the ground with their entire contents
of delicate machinery, tools finished and
unfinished jewelry. Very little of
property worth over a million of dol

Considerable Feeling Over the Out
come of the Two Year-Old
Race at Oakland.

SAN FRANCISCO May 11.-At the
Oakland track to-day considerable feel
ing was displayed over the outcome OF
the two-year-old race between Humid
tty and Toluca. Nearly every person
at the track bet on one or the other
FLY, and a crowd gathered around the
Judges stand when Clawson, the rider
of Toluca. went UP TO claim foul,
which the judges did not allow, and
whole lot Of sharp talk was INDUCED
IN. Most Of the track experts, however.
We're convinced that under the condi-
tions which existed, Humidity was the
better flly, and the claim Of foul was
not warranted The weather was fine

Spanish and American Wages.

The poverty and low state of social
life and civilization of the Spaniards is
indexed quite accurately by their wage
rates. For instance, the average week
ly pay of a bricklayer in Spain (Mal-
aga) is SO SO; in the United States
$21 IS; of mason, So 80 in Spain, 81
in the United States; of a carpenter
SO 80 in Spain, SO % in the United
States; of a blacksmith, So 80 in Spain,
SIC OF in the United States; of a tin
smith, SO in Spain, S14 80 in the United
States; of printers, 81 80 in Spain,
SIG AZ in the United States; of laborers,
porters, ETC., 81 75 in Spain; $S 50 in
the United States. While rents and
possibly prices of few native products
are lower in Spain than in the United
States, the difference comes nowhere
near equaling the wide disparity in
wages. Moreover, in a comparison of
this sort the quality of the living must
be considered as we'll as the nominal
cost. Thus, lower rents. nearly always
imply inferior accommodations and, to
the average Spaniard, most of the COM
forts and conveniences in ordinary use
here are unattainable luxuries. That
the low rate of Spanish wages does
really mean proportionately low con-
sumption and low standard of living
is substantiated by one or two signifi-
cant facts of another character. For
instance, the per capita annual con-
sumption of woolen goods in Spain is
only 8 shillings' worth as against 10
shillings in the United States; of sugar,
D pounds per annum in Spain, 43
pounds in the United States; of beef,
16 pounds per annum in Spain, 81
pounds in the United States: of all
meats, 40 pounds in Spain, 120 in the
United States; of butter, none in Spain
16 pounds in the United States; of cof-
fee, pounds in Spain, 115 in the United
States.-Guntons Magazine.

BIRDS THAT DO NOT SING.
Although They All Utter Vocal Sounds
Of Some Kind.

Although They All Utter Vocal Sounds
Of some Kind.
Singing is applied to birds in the
same sense that it is to human beings
the utterance Of musical notes. Every
person makes vocal sounds Of some
kind. but many persons never attempt
to sing. So It 10 with birds. The eagle
screams, the owl boots, the wild goose
honks, the crow caws, but none of these
discordant sounds can be called singing.
With the poet the singing Of birds
means merry, light hearted joyousness.
and most of us are poetic enough to
view it in the same way. Birds sing
most in the spring and the early sum-
mer, those happiest seasons Of the year,
while employed in nest building and in
rearing their young. Many of our most
musical singers are silent all the rest of
the year; at least they utter only low
chirpings. It is natural, therefore, that
lovers of birds should regard their sing
ing as purely an expression of joy in
the returning spring and in their hap
Ply occupations.
Outside Of what are properly classed
as song birds there are many species
tAat never pretend to sing-in fact,
these far outnumber the musicians
They include the water birds of every
kind, both swimmers and waders; all
the birds Of prey, eagles, hawks, owls
and vultures. and all the gallinaceous
tribes, comprising pheasants, cartridges.
turkeys and chickens. The gobblesof
the turkey cock, the defiant crow of the
rooster and even the musical call of the
"bobwhite" are none of them true
singing, yet it is quite probable that all
of these sounds are uttered with pre-
cisely similar motives to those that in
spire the sweet warbling of the song
sparrow, the clear whistle of thu robin
or the thrilling music Of the wood
thrush.
But naturalists have set apart very
large group as song birds, and even
among these there are many species
that never sing at all. Birds are group.
ed according to their anatomical char
acteristics, the structure of their bones,
bills, feet and wings. And thus we
have the songless song birds, looking at
the matter from the standpoint of the
classifying naturalist. - Philadelphia
