THERE'S SUNSHINE ON THE HILLS.
BY REV. G. NJ. P. KING, D. d.

Do clouds hang DER the valleys,
While mist each opening fills;
Look up! for over yonder
There's sunshine ON the hills.
What matter if there's darkness,
Why recount your many ills?
Twill strengthen more your courage
To see sunshine ON the hills.
Why murmur at your fortunes?
Let's be glad in what God wills;
For we all pass through the shadows
Though there's sunshine on the hills.
Fear not the storms upon you,
There's voice that always Stills
So wait with more of patience
Since there's sunshine on the hills.
The noblest of every life
Is for him who well fulflls
The mission coming hourly,
Seeing sunshine ON the hills.
Then haste along your journey,
Though the rain so oft distills;
For just over all the shadows
Is the sunshine on the hills.

Times Herald from Washington says:
Admiral Sampson and the fighting di-
vision of the North Atlantic squadron
are sailing down Porto Rico to meet
the Spanish armada and wipe 1t on
the ocean.
The blockading division of that
squadron, under command Of Commo-
dore Watson, will maintain the patrol
of Cuban waters with unrelaxing vigi
lance and keep Havana bottled up
from the outside world.
Commodore Schley's flying squadron
will maintain vigil at Hampton
Roads to be prepared to ward of an at
tack on the North Atlantic squadron.
If the Spanish fleet is discovered
heading for the waters Of Porto Rico
or Cuba, Commodore Schley will sour
ry south to join Admiral Sampson and
take hand in crushing the enemy.
If the armada is reported as aiming
at the upper coast of the United
states, Admiral Sampson will turn
northward to join Commodore Schley
in hurling the combined sQuadrons
against the enemy.
Far out at sea are the st. Louis, the
Yale and the Harvard, securing the
Atlantic for an early sight Of the ar
mada. They will soon be Joined by the
st. Paul, and the instant one of these
scouts catches a glimpse Of the enemy,
it will fly to land, or to a rendezvous
in the ocean, to give warning to the
expectant American seadogs.
The program is based on the assump-
ton that the Spanish fotilla, which
left the Cape Verde islands last Fri
day, is sailing for American shores.
When ii left St Vincent it was fol
lowed until sunset by ship which re-
ported it making about twelve knots

The Bond Proposition.

Washington, ID. c., May 6-One fea-
ture of the Cabinet meeting today was
a discussion of the attitude of the Sen
ate in providing the "sinews of war
for defraying the expenditures Of the
war. The President has received posi-
tive Information that the Senate com
mittee on finance, which Is still strug-
Cling with the war revenue bill, will
reports that measure with the bond
feature eliminated. This fact is caus-
ing the administration great uneasiness
and embarrassment, and. the statement
is made that the possibility of adverse
action in the full body Of the Senate
is source of much anxiety. The
President laid before the Cabinet the
information he had as to what is to
be looked for from the Senate, and
while not expressing absolute conf
dence in favorable action by the Sen
ate. with the bond feature reincorpor-
ated, expressed the hope that there
would be a satisfactory majority for
the bond provision.

OF war. She was brought. to this port
this morning.
Commodore Watson this afternoon
received orders from Washington to in
stantly release the Lafayette and to
send her TO Havana under escort.
The capture of the Frenchman by
the gunboat Annapolis turns out to
have been an unfortunate incident, re-
sulting from mistakes, but no protest
has been made by the representatives
OF the French government to the Unit
ed States.
The Lafayette was released in pur-
suance of orders which were issued by
the Navy Department previous to her
seizure, but which had not been re-
ceived by the commanding officers Of
the vessels that made the capture. The
facts are that on April 29th the French
embassy made an informal inquiry as
to whether the Lafayette, which left
st. Nazarie. France. for Vera Cruz, by
way of Havana. before war was de-
clared or information Of the blockade
was received. would be allowed to land
In HAVANA her passengers, her mail
bags and the dispatch bag of the con
sulate general of France, and take
some French passengers on board. An
assurance was given that, II this privi.
lege should be granted. the steamer
would be forbidden by the French con.
sui to land goods.
