PODe COunsels Internal Pence

London, Aug. 5.-The Rome CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says: The
pope is preparing an encyclical order
ing the Spanish clergy to avoid all po-
litical strifes and praising the virtues
and religious fervor of the queen re-
gent. His holiness will also send a
letter to the Spanish people, to be
read in all the churches, praising the
present dynasty and counseling the
preservation of internal peace. Both
documents are intended to be anti
Carlist in their influence.

(Premier of Spain, who accepts the terms. }
will accept SPANS answer, which will
certainly reach the white house by
Tuesday. AS consequece of the United
States accepting the reply, hostilities
will Immediately afterwards be sus-
Epended. AS the reply to the American
terms was only submitted to the queen
regent Sunday, all the reports of her
approval Saturday of the American de-
>mands are necessarily without founda-
ton.
From a well-informed source it is
learned that while the answer does
not discuss the four bases which the
United States makes an essential pre-
1iminary to leacex, and which Spain
accepts without reservation, it points
out that in order to avoid the defini-
tive negotiations being in any way
complicated by incidents of the war,
1T is expected to agree beforehand to
a suspension of hostilities. 1t is re-
ported that Duke Almodovar de Rio,
the minister of foreign affairs, and
Monsignor Morry del Val, Spanish am
bassador to the vatican, will be Sc
lected to represent Spain in the nego-
tiations. The newspapers make no
comments on the situation owing to
the strictness of the censorship.

The American reply to Spain's request
for explanations reached Madrid Fri
day evening. The text has not been
divulged, but it is known that it
brought little consolation. President
Mckinley turned a deaf ear to the sug-
gestion that Puerto Rico might be left
to Spain and compensation sought
elsewhere. Regarding the Philippines

there was no longer any necessity fo1
postponing a decision on the main
question.
AS to the context of Spain's re

four demands of President Mckinley:

Immediate suspension of hostilities
On the other hand, others affirm that
Ut is prefaced by an account of the
origin of the war, tending to prove
that, as Spain was in no sense the ag

to pay war indemnity either il
money or territory.

POETESS OF SANTA CRUZ
Young, Educated and Pretty Woman
Who Yearns for SOlitude-With-
draws From Usual Haunts Of Her
Sex-LOnely Life Passed Writing
No Prey to Melancholy.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
SAN FRANCISCO, April Is. -
Perched away up in the crags Of a
lofty peak of the Santa Cruz noun
tainS is a rude hut of split redwood
In this remote place, surrounded only
by the everlasting hills and the beasts
of the forest and fowls of the air, lives
Miss Seddie e. Anderson, all alone
Young and pretty highly educated and
connected, she has chosen to withdraw
herself from the usual occupations of
womanhood to commune with nature
at first hand.
Miss Anderson has been compared
with Henry David Thoreau, the poet
hermit of the Massachusetts forests.
The comparison in everything but the
sex would seem to be apt. Thoreau
wrote poetry and so does the young
hermitess Of the Santa Cruz. He gain
ed a brilliant education in the best
colleges of his state; she has learned
all that the University of California
can impart. Thoreau loved his fellow
man and conlpanionship with him, but
he loved solitude and the beauties of
and lived in mountain Businesses re-
mote from even the taxgatherer. Miss
Anderson is a true woman, with all a
woman's love for the frivolities and
follies Of the cities. But she loves
nature unadorned and in the open air
still more. She has pitched her camp
on the mountain side and is engaged in
writing sonnets and raising chickens.
The nest she has builded for herself
is far up the side Of one Of the Hottest
peaks of the range. To reach it one
must pass through Scott's valley by a.
drive from the city Of Santa Cruz away
to the north. Miss Anderson read the
passage in the good book about the lion
of Hepsidam, SO she bestowed this
quaint name on her abode. Standing at
the door Of the cottage Of Hepsidam.
she can see the sails Of ships on Mon
terey bay and the broad Pacific beyond
it's limits. In the qualities of peace
and rest 1t Is an ideal home, just such
a one as poet would choose for safe
and coy retreat. But 1t is a singular
home for a woman possessing 30 many
attractions and so much of youth as
does Miss Anderson. But here she
dwells, accompanied by no living thing

been in San Francisco for five years,
but I want to go up again one Of these
days. A leading publisher there has
offered to get out volume of my verse
He advises me, however, to wait until
l have written a little more"
Here is her favorite sonnet among
her own poems:
MISSION SANTA CRUZ.
How swiftly here oblivion set her seal:
what has the vanished century left of each,
The Spanish rooftree and the Spanish speech
The music and the roses of CASTLE?
A newer generation comes to kneel
Where crumbling walls and broken tiles Of
The unregarded dust beneath the wheel.
The call to yesper hath a different tone
Even the mission bells were cast anew,
And alien echoes mingled with their own
From crowded streets, where once the wild
flowers grew;
New speech, new shrines, new hopes and
cares and fears,
To usher in another hundred years.
The hull Of an old schSlner that an
nually rose with the wNter's tide in
the Monterey bay off Santa Cruz
called forth in her this sweet song:
UNDER THE SANDS.
The sunshine falls upon golden strand
Beside sea that stretches far away
Where all the summer long, in CARELESS play,
The peaceful waves come ripping Ger the
sand.
So calm, so still, we cannot understand
That ever sailors wives should sit and weep,
That ever they should wake while others
sleep.
Because of tempests sea and land
All, wait till winter waves assail the shore,
And beat away this level floor of gold;
For where twas wrecked and buried years
before
A ghostlike ship shall lift it's timbers old.

WATCHING THE SHIPS.
How strange it seems walled in, secluded so.

No Prey to McIaanncholy.

With all her solitude the poetess does
not grow melancholy. In fact she is
quite opposite, possessing an interest

seem to help her along this line Most
all of them are nafned,y the ROSTERS

When her egg Is laid off She goes with
merry and satisfied cackle Their.

chickens. 1t takes nearly all my time
Still you can always sell a chicken.
while YOU cannot always sonnet"
In the summer time the poetess SUD-
plies the campers who live about her
with eggs and milk. and by this way
and with her writing she makes COM
Portable living. But she Is not fond of
campers. They are too much company
and really too much of nuisance. So
she likes it best in winter, when she
can be entirely alone. Still, she misses
a good many chickens then, for the
coyotes have a home on the top of the
hill, and after they have set her to
sleep by their. dreary bowling they visit
her hen rooSts. In the summer the
campers make SO much noise that thew
brighten all the coyotes away.
