could pay. Lords and commoners, Judges,
the clergy. and all that assembly of the
great men of England sang the favorite
hymn of the man they mourned. They
sang Rock of Ages" as perhaps 1t was
never sung before. The majestic har-
mony rose in gathering volume until the
instrumental accompaniment was un-
heard.
1t spread beyond the walls of the grand
old abbey until the waiting thousands
outside heard it. caught it up and sent
the sweet refrain echoing through the
neighhoring streets. 1t was appropriate,
too. that the next song also sung by the
choir and the congregation. as the body
was being conveyed to the grave should
be a song of triumph and praise. New
mans Praise to the Hottest" was the
hymn.
The grave around which the nearest
mourners now gathered was in the very
center of the north transept 1t was at
the feet of the statue Of Mr. Gladstone's
greatest rival. Lord Beaconsfield. and 1t
seemed as if the marble figure which was
in the attitude of looking into the grave
wore an expression of scornful triumph.
Mrs. Gladstone leaning upon the arms
of her sons, stood at the head of the
grave Dean Bradley, the Archbishop of
Canterbury, and the other members of
the clergy, were at the foot, and the
Prince of Wales, Lord Salisbury. the
Duke of York and the other pallbearers
and members of the family were group
ed at the sides. While the solemn com
initial service was being read by Dean
Bradley Mrs. Gladstone and most of the
others knelt. When Earth to Earth"
was recited. and the body slowly lowered
into the grave. then came the glorious
refrain, sung with almost joyful voices,
beginning, 81 heard a voice from Heav-
en-" etc. and the most sorrowful mo-
ment seemed robbed of its sadness. The
Lords Prayer was chanted and spoken.
and the service closed with the reading
of the Collect by the Archbishop of Can

American Engineer Says Ii Is Fill
ed With TorpedOes.
Chicago, H., May 2S.-Charles d. Smith,
a resident OF Daiquiri near Santiago de
Cuba, for six years. has just arrived in
Chicago. He brings valuable informa-
ton as to the mines in and around San
tiago Bay He likewise tells of painful
"reminiscences of Spanish atrocities. He
says:
''FoI the last six months of my stay we
were almost starved. We were also COM
PEELED to stand by unprotesting while the
innocent were ruthlessy butchered. One
morning, close to my house. two poor.
starving men attempted to steal into the
country and get cocoanut. They were
overtaken by the Spanish soldiers, who
cut their throats and left their bodies ly-
ing in the road.
Shortly after this a Spanish soldier
was found who had evidently been killed
by an insurgent bullet Enraged because
they could not catch the culprit, the
Spanish officers ordered the arrest of
thirteen of the sons of the well-to-do
planters in the neighborhood, and had
them bound in such a manner that six
of them were made helpless cripples for
life. The others were made to stand
facing their homes and shot to death.
"Mr Ferrer, the Spanish manager of
the mines at which | was employed as
engineer, took the American boat Colon
about April 10, stating that he had au-
thority from the company. and the army
engineers laid mines In the harbor of
Santiago Bay and all up and down the
coast outside. 1 am certain that the larg-
er American warships cannot pass into
Santiago Bay, owing TO the winding en-
trance, which will not allow a long boat
to go through.
IF the Spanish boats are in there they
will never get out. for only one can have
exit at a time and the channel at the
mouth is so tortuous that it requires a
great while to navigate a single boat
through"

PEACE UNION IN TROUBLE.
ApOIogetic Letter TO the Queen of
Spain L. Denounced.

Philadelphia, Pa. May 2S.-The Uni
Yersal Peace Union is in all kinds of
trouble on account of its letter to the
Queen Regent of Spain, in which it
apologies for the position of the Unit
ed States. For year or so the Union
has, by the grace of the city councils,
occupied rooms in Independence Hail.
Its headquarters in this historic struc-
ture has given the organization a GER
tain standing. and il was from here
that the letter to the Queen Regent was
sent. Now the city councils is deter
mined that the Society of Universal
Love" shall move.
At the next meeting of the councils
which occurs on June 9, a resolution W II
be introduced compelling the society to
pack up and get. The resolution, as
prepared, speaks of the Spanish letter
as "a questionable scheme"
Now that the subject has been
brought up, NUMEROUS petty violations
of the law, such as publishing a vege-
tartan newspaper in the building. is be-
ing raked up.
Alfred II. Love, the president of the
society, and the man whose name is
appended to the famous letter, is one OF
the most eccentric persons in the city.
Elderly, mild-mannered and an enthu-
siast on the subject OF international
amity, he is none the less man capa-
BILE of taking care of an extended busi-
ness. He is head of the firm of Alfred
H. Love &, Co, which does a wholesale
dry goods business, and is a member
of the Society of Friends, and his peace
sentiments are in a large measure due
TO his training.
1t is said that duEing the civil war
Mr.. Love was an earnest peace man,
and got into innumerable wrangles with
the Government. 1t is said that his
name was among those included in one
of the drafts, but sooner than go to the
front he allowed himself to suffer in a
military prison until released by the
kindness of President Lincoln.
1t was not through cowardice that
Mr.. Love refused TO bear arms, but be-
cause he believed war was wrong and

The doubt about the Spanish fleet being
Gagged up at Santiago de Cuba is growing
stronger in all quarters, except at the
Navy Department. While the Navy De-

the Spanish fleet is at Santiago, in spite
of the fact that Commodore Schley's fleet
did not arrive in that vicinity until a day
or two later than the department had
expected, the theory is almost abandoned
