Thanks to another Britisher. When
the Strathdee was prepared to sail from
Sagua lie Grand. Cuba, with load of
refugees, more than half of them Amer
lean citizens, Spanish officials boarded
the ship and put the forty-fve passen-
gers through an examination, and at
it's conclusion stated their purpose of
taking a portion of the refugees ashore.
Whereupon the British Consul at that
port put in an appearance and gave
the Spanish officers to understand that
if it was done it would be under his pro-
test, which he would Immediately re-
port to the home government, and Spain
must take the consequences, which, he
intimated, would not be pleasant. There
was a hurried consultation and finally
the Spaniards concluded to be wise in
their day and let the passengers de-
part. The Americans on the ship say
that they will never forget the courage
and bearing of that English Consul, nor
the respect which his protest, vigor-
ously delivered, seemed to inspire in
that group Of clustering officials.

Evidently Rear-Admiral Dewey be-
lieves in the courage of Montejo.
When all was over in Manila and the
last ship of the enemy had surrendered,
Dewey. sent Montejo this message; Il
have pleasure in clasping your hand
and offering my congratulations on the
gallant manner in which you fought"
That was manly; it was balm to the
wounded. pride of the Spaniard. Never
theless how it must have Inundated
him to be greeted in manner that
spoke so emphatically of most disas-

thing for Dewey to do. 1t was mag

to think of it, that it should come from

Heretofore musical composers have
had to write down their musical
thoughts slowly, and often after they
grew cold, or they had to employ must
cal stenographers, and even they are

presses his creations. But now comes
a Mr.. Gally with an invention he. calls
the monograph" by which the compost

The little machine is attached to the
piano and is represented as working
with a high degrees of success. This is
a great boon to composers, no doubt,
but, as the Critic" suggests, it has
it's drawbacks. For instance, it may be
attached surreptitiously to an instru-
ment, and as brilliant performer is
improvising his musical thoughts will
be recorded without his knowledge, and
made merchandise of at the expense Of
his genius. Who says that the world
is not advancing?

Evidently the Dingley tariff rankles
in the bosom of the average editor of
the newspaper in Germany. Just now
there is nothing diseouraging to the
American cause that he neglects to
print and comment upon. 1t is sim
gular fact also that seven out of ten
of the German-American press were
opposed to the war and to the declara
ton that there was cause for it, A sum-
mary of these expressions made by the
Literary Digest" discloses remarkable
unanimity among these papers on that
subject We shall await with consid-
cradle interest summary of their
views printed since war has been en-
tered upon. We are unwilling to think
that the German-American press, now
that the nation has embarked in this
cause, will throw it's influence against
its full accomplishment.

Jumped into the well which was twenty

Finding that she was alive and unburt
he pulled her out of the water, and by
the aid of small rope, soon carried her
in his arms to the surface of the ground
and restored her to her nearly frantic
mother. The child was found to be un-
injured and the overjoyed psrents were
profuse in their thanks to the brave
