In return it is expected that those who
avail of this indult viii endeavor to en-
ter into the spirit OF the holy season of
Lent by voluntary acts of modification
and penance. A most useful and COM

during Lent from stimulants, In honor Of
the sacred thirst of our Divine Saviour.
The paschal time extends from the first
Sunday of Lent till Trinity Sunday. dur

ENGLISH ADVICE NOT INTRUDED BalfOur Makes a State- ment in the House of
 Commons.
Would Be Sorry to Believe That America Resented Britain's
 Action.
There Is a Rush of Englishnaen to Enlist in the United States
 Navy.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, April 19.-In the House of Commons to-day MT. Balfour. Govern ment leader, replying to James H. Dal- ziel (LiberaD, said that the British Elm bassador at Washington, Sir Julian Pauncefote, at the end of March was authorized to join with the other Ambassadors in friendly representa- tions to the United States, provided we were first assured that such represen- tations were likely to be wei, received and useful"
 Continuing, MT. Balfour said Sir Jrf- iian Pauncefote accordingly joined with the others, and the British Charge d'Af faires at Madrid, on April g. joined with the representatives of the other powers in verbal identical representations. ex- pressing the opinion that the Spanish Government would do well to feet a suspension of hostilities, which might lead to an honorable understanding for the peace of Cuba. No further repre- sentations have been made''

 LONDON, April 2O.-The Madrid correspondent of the Standard, tele- graphing on Tuesday, says: un- derstand the speech from the throne will review the whole course of the relations between Spain and the United States, with the view of show ing how Spain, in her relations with America and her treatment of the West Indian colonies, has spared no effort to make concessions and re- forms compatible with her rights to conciliate her colonists and to pre- serve friendly relations with Amer ica, whereas the United States has all along persisted in seeking pre- texts to interfere in the purely do- mestic relations of Spain with her colonies and has persisted more than ever since the advent to office of President Mckinley, by menaces and diplomatic notes, in trying to inter vene in the settlement of the Cuban question.
 So much so has this been the case, the speech will declare, that the United States has constantly put ob- stacles in the way of Spain whenever negotiations or the military efforts of Spain have been on the point of pacifying Cuba.
 The speech from the throne will point out that the Spanish Govern ment has steadily resisted the Amer ican pretensions, while making all possible concessions to America on the other questions, and would have gone even further If America had only undertaken to respect the right and sovereignty of Spain in Cuba. The document will lay stress upon the fact that America has displayed increased virulence and hostility since Spain granted suspension of hostilities at the request of the Pope and powers.
 The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing at 6:45 p. m., Tuesday, says: A Cabinet coun- cil was held very early this after noon, in order to consider the situa- ton. The Government adopted finally the resolutions respecting their rela- tions with the United States. The Ministers were unanimous in declar- ing that a conflict was certain and quite at hand.

AMERICANS MAY FIND
 HAVANA IN RUINS.
Spaniards Threaten to Blow Up Their Houses to Prevent Their Be-
 ing Taken.

HAVANA, April 19.-The press of the entire island attacks the "jingoes" and the Sensational American press" es- pecially singling out General Lee. All the articles are written at high ten sion and are full of bellicose ardor. The writers recall the history of Spain and particularly the diplomatic victory over Prince Bismarck in the Carolines. The Spanish are easily excited to en- thusiasm, as the prospect placed be- fore them by these inf1ammatory arti- cles refer to adding to the country's glories triumph over the powerful American people. They take it as an insult if American superiority is sug- gested.
 Senor Ramon Calban. a leading mer- chant, said in the presence of this cor respondent: "I wish there were war tomorrow and I would give my life to see a victory over the Yankees"
 Others say, for instance: "The Yan- kees will not take Havana, but if they should, they will only find ruins"
 Some emphatically declare that they would prefer to blow up their own houses rather than have them taken by the Americans. There is a good deal said along this line.

 The Cabinet then became council of war.
 Lieutenant Colonel Wagner, chief of the Bureau of Military Intelligence. and Captain Barker of the Naval Board of Strategy, were summoned to the White House and discussed with the President and Cabinet the plans which have been made for the operations of the army and navy on the outbreak of hostilities Special attention was given to the con slderation of the first moves to be made by the various forces. It was nearly 6 o'clock when the Cabinet finally ad- journed
 President Frank Thompson of the Pennsylvania Railway and Senator Hanna arrived at the White House soon after the Cabinet meeting and had a long conference with the President MT. Thompson has been called upon by the President to act as his official ad- wiser Tn connection with the transporta- ton of troops and all kinds of military supplies during the war with Spain. It IS probable that he may receive the same military rank as Colonel Scott, also the president of the Pennsylvania Railway did when he held similar position un- der President Lincoln during the Civil War.
 President McKinley's last duty was to do the final revision of the ultimatum to Spain He and Assistant Secretary Day went over the document for the last time to be satisfied that 1t was all right before the final adjournment of the Cab inet.
 The President invited all of its mem bers who cared to do so to call at the White House tomorrow morning be- fore 10 o'clock and again read over the ultimatun, but as all of them were per fectly satisfied with its text, it is not probable they will do so.

fact. I am sure that if such a feeling exists in any section of opinion in America, that opinion was formed un- der a misconception. I am certain that the instructions furnished to Sir Julian Pauncefote. which l have just given to the House, will convince the House and the public that we have not intruded ourselves unnecessarily.
 There have been many applica- tions at the United States Embassy and at the United States Consulate here this week for enlistment in the United States army or navy. Most of the applicants were Englishmen, including several officers and former officers of the British army of lieu tenant grade. A number of engin- eers also applied, and applications were received from women who are desirous of serving as nurses in the field.
 A majority of those who applied for enlistment expect to be sent to the Tinted States at the Government ex- pense. They were all told that the limited States officials here had no au- thority to enlist.
 Lieutenant Sims, the United States naval attache at Paris, and Colonel AL fred E. Bates, the United States mili- tary attache here, have purchased dur ing the week several large lots of am munition. including gun cotton The latter. it is presumed. is to be used for mines. All the officials concerned maintain secrecy as to the ships which are to carry the war munitions to the United States.

The Moon and the Earth.

Among the theories of scientists is one
regarding the original unity of the moon
and the earth. 1t is believed that out of II
mass Of rapidly revolving clements, molten
fluid or gaseous, the earth and the moon
took such shape that the mass was divided
into two parts They continued their revo-
luton and became the earth and the moon.
Each had its own axis on which it spun,
each also revolving about the other. The
months were but u few hours long and the
days not much shorter. Then the gravity
mutually exerted by these rapidly reVolv-
ing bodies disturbed them, tidal friction
held them back. and the earth, moving
more rapidly of the two held its course,
while the moon slowly rectied. During
hges of time, the earth took on its present
shape and hardened, thus paving the way
for such conditions as would make it hab-
table. 1t is thought that the moon has
never become entirely symmetrical, and
that one and the same side is always turn
ed toward the earth New York Ledger.
