SAGASTA AND PEACE

The Madrid correspondent of the New
York Heralds European edition tele-
graphs that Sagasta, on leaving the min
isterial council Monday morning, said
in answer to a question that The moment
had not come for discussing the terms
OF peace; but, continues the correspondent,
there is the best authority foy the state
ment that the government is IN accord
that such a time will be ripe when the
impending fall OF Santiago or surrender
of Manila has taken place; in fact any
further disaster which brings home 20 the
nation and army the hopelessness Of fur
ther resistance against the unlimited re-
sources of the United States will bring
the peace question to a crisis.
The correspondent then goes on 70 say
that Sagasta is an out-and-out patriot,
and according 20 the words Of one of his
Cabinet. has TO take into consideration
not only the dignity Of the army, which
has fought so heroically, but also the fu-
ture of the large body Of Cuban volun-
teers, far outnumbering the rebels who
give their services TO the mother country
and who cannot be left 10 the mercy OF
the insurgents.
The references TO the effects OF another
disaster to Spanish arms and the dignity
of the Spanish army sustain the view
we advanced yesterday. AS 20 the nat
ter of the Cuban volunteers. it would
seem that Sagasta ought TO have learned
by this time that we will not allow them
to be placed at the mercy of the insur-
gents. In short, given another disaster
and the Precipitation OF the army. and
Sagasta will have a clear course TO sue
for peace.

The destruction OF Cervera's feet will
figure as one Of the most remarkable
naval achievements in history. The
Spanish feet was a powerful one-almOst
as powerful as its rival II came on
the American fleet suddenly, and would
have been a surprise could the Americans
have been surprised. 1t was running
away. and had the advantage. but II was
demolished, the ships driven ashore or
burned. and the men who were not killed
captured. 1t is impossible 10 imagine
more complete victory than this. some
commander must be responsible for II.

Is.
Resolutions have been introduced in
both branches OF Congress naming Com
modore Schley as the hero. One senator
asked for time until the facts have been
ascertaned. But how are they 10 be as
certained? The numerous correspondents
who were present during the engagement
and afterwards say that Commodore
Schley fought the battle and won II. Upon
this basis with singular unanimity, the
press OF the country has proclaimed Com
modore Schley the hero. The facts. as
set forth from non-oficial sources. show
that Schley was on guard in front Of the
harbor In his flagship. and that he signal
led the feet what TO do as soon as he saw
the enemy: that he gave chase and man
oeuvred with wonderful skin, so as to

it is sometimes used likewise in England.

Dickens says, The mature young lady

Dictionary admits the use of the word as
an adverb, though describing II as "col-

used here In this sense by whites and

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl
Tradition says "woman must suffer, !"
and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examine
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
'sMy health became so poor that L
had to leave school. I was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. I was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. T followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as
ever was. I have gained flesh and have
a good color. am completely cured OF
irregularity."

overcame the wrecks weight. The first
attempt to raise the Wells City was a fail
ure. AS the vessel left the bottom her
keel cut through one of the lifting
chains, causing the others to part like che
swapping of threads All the tedious
operation of replacing the chains fol :
lowed, and 1t was some time before the
hull was finally dragged from the bottom.
The first lift was only five feet. Then
powerful tug took the pontoons and wreck
IN tow and hauled them to shallow water.
Here the raising details were repeated.
the hull was dragged nearer shore, ana IN
time spot was gained where 1T was easy
to build the necessary rotterdam, pa1ch
up the leaks, and pump her out.
In 1884 the wrecking company now en-
gagged on the Spanish vessels raised the
U. 5. S. Tallapoosa, sunk BY coal
schooner in Long Island Sound. Pom
toons were used, and in remarkably
short space of time the old wooden gun
boat was lifted, pumped free from SAND
and water. and sent under her own
steam to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. In
the history of wrecking there have been
few cases where warship was the sub
iect of attention. The battleship Howe,
which was stranded on a reef in the Medi-
terranean several years ago, was success
fully raised only after the display of won
derful skill on the part of an English
company.
Long and varied experience has reduced
the wrecking of vessels to an exact science
but it is not often that fate and the ext
gencies of war offer such IN excellent
opportunity for the exercise of skill and
practical work as in the case Of the
Cristobal Colon Of Admiral Cervera's ILL
fated fleet.

Bismarck once said of himself that he
was "the man most hated of anybody in
Europe Unhappily, this might be said
of his own country. Particularists, u
tramontanes, and Socialists have never
ceased to show their adherence of him
by word and deed. torgetffui Of what he
had done, with all his faults, for the great
ness of Germany. On the other hand, it
would be an absurdity not to admit that
the contrary-so far as Prussia is concern
eds equally true. Prince Bismarck, at
the height OF his popularity. was the best
beloved man in the Fatherland-he was
adored before him. Ample proof Of this
was given on the occasion of his seven
tieth birthday in Berlin in 1885; on the
memorable afternoon when he left Berlin
after his dismissal In 1890; and again.
subsequently, in 1884, when, in disgrace
at court, he made his triumphant prog
ress through the empire to Vienna to as
sist at the nuptials of his son, Count
Herbert. At the same time his best
friends have often said of him that no
man could hate like Bismarck. He was
aware of the fact himself, an d never con-
cealed 1t. One day at table the oonversa-
ton turned upon Goethe's remarks about
love. The great German poet said that
life was beautified by love. Bismarck dis
"Hatred," he said, "has also its duties to
perform, and maintains lie just as much
as love. My wifesis Indispensable to me
for love and Windthorst for hatred :"
DR.. Windthorst, the diminutive but
shrewd and clever leader of the Ulramon-
tanes-the well-known ex-Minister of the
King of Hanover-was one of those politi-
,,%% urotr1 q
bttterest reproaches of unpatriotism were
SO frequently hurled. Eugene Richter,
the leader of the Extreme Radicals in the
Imperial Diet one of Bismarckss greatest
opponents, enjoyed similar place in the
ex Chancellor's heart. And to sum up.
nobody who ever opposed Prince Bis
marck in the field of politics, or who
ence the effect of his wrath. The late
Herr Georg Won Bunsen was practically
boycotted-he and his family al1ke-for
some time from the Berlin Court and
from Berlin society at Bismarok's In
stance. Count Harry Won Arntm's pub
lie career was ruined by Bismarck, and
how many other names of his political
opponents could be inscribed on the list of
those whose lives were ruined on account
of Bismarck hatred for them?
But in his own home, around his own
hearth, with his wife and children, the
warmth of Otto Won Bismarck's heart
was felt. He had none of the German
morbid sentimentality about him, but he
WAS affectionate and faithful to the few
he loved at home. His love for his wife
and children was amply repaid. They
thoroughly appreciated him, and under
stood that it was necessary that he should
have genial, comfortable home where
he could forget the cares of business.
They looked upon all those who gave him
trouble as their own personal foes; they
took precautions that his sleep, his re-
pose, and his hours of recreation should
not be disturbed. His wish was law to
them, and their chief pleasure was to see
him amused and entertained. London

Importance. Commencing August 24th
and continuing until August goth, the
usual series of meetings will DO held at
Old Orchard, and it is unnecessary to
predict an enthusiastic and interesting
convention, for the arrangements that
have been made are complete to the min
utest detail, and among those who are to
assist are persons well-known through
out the country for their sincere and
thorough work in behalf of the fallen.

will be devoted to the duties pertaining
to the convocation, but those who deslr
a relaxation will find Old Orchard an
ideal place for enjoyment The beach
has every facility for INDUCING in sports
