of the company in the city, at which Mr..

he should be squeezed out of the reports
owing to the presence Of the colossus, he
sent round note to the reporters saying:
The Duke of Fife requests that his
speech shall be carefully and fully re-
ported - g. 3 n s5ss,l Ss5S

contemptuously along their table from one

that the pressmen were laughing over his

A Spanish Product Of Which We Import
About 5000 Casks Annually.
The bulk of the edible olives come from
Spain, the olives raised i'll other Mediter-
ranean regions being used chiefly in max
ing oil. There are imported into the
United States about 5000 casks of Span
ish olives annually. They are imported
in brine. The olives vary in size from
about 21O to the kilo, which is 2 Is
pounds, up to olives as large as 60 or 70
to the kilo.
a steamship bringing olives to this port
is likely to include in her cargo almonds
and corkwood, valuable freight. In one
shipment lately received here there were
several hundred casks of olives. When
the casks have been hoisted out they are
rolled along on the wharf, cooper starts
the bung, and number of olives are
taken from each cask for inspection. The
olives are taken out with a pair of tongs
a foot or more long, made of two slender
strips of wood, which operate like sugar
tongs.
The man who takes the samples from
the casks carries in one hand a small
white china platter, using the tongs with
the other hand. He thrusts the tongs
through the bunghole into the cask and
nips one or more olives at eva1y dip until
he has platter full.
These sample olives are inspected on
the spot by the representatives of the i'm
porter, who sees that they correspond
with the invoice and that the brine is of
sufficient strength to keep them. They
are then removed to the warerooms to be
sold in the original packages or repacked
in kegs and bottles.--New York Sun.

QUIET OFF HAVANA.
Little to Relieve tho Monot-

On Board the Associated Press Dis
patch boat Kate Spencer, off Havana,
May 6, via Key West, Fla, May 6.-The
blockade of the Cuban ports by the war
ships of the United States is as effective
as ever. No vessel has entered one Of the
blockaded ports.
1t is monotonously weary work drifting
idly about in the burning sun during the
day and patroling rno .uast at night with
only an occasional chase for diversion.
Therefore it is not astonishing that the
officers and men of the fleet alike are
locking eagerly forward to the day when
the rumored movement of the United
States army will take place.
The glorious news of Commodore
Dewey's victory, meager as are the de-
tails which have found their way to the
blockading squadron, was: received with
intense rejoicing and there were many
hearty cheers for Uncle Sam.
The Associated press dispatch boat Kate
Spencer cruised up the Cuban coast from
Matanzas to Havana yesterday. At Ma.
tanzas q tOrpedO-boat was spoken on her
return westward from the flagship, to
which she had carried dispatches to Rear
Admiral Sampson which had arrived after
the departure of the New York.

terday morning the Spanish flag was
raised over the lighthouse on q sand pit
just east Of the entrance of Matanzas, and
he thinks two guns were mounted there.
If sunrise proves this to be correct, it is
possible that, with the aid of the Hor-
nets quicks6ring six-pounders, that officer
will very shortly be in possession of the
two Spanish guns and the lighthouse.
A number of cane fires are burning be-
tween Matanzas and Havana. Few of
the small, athrret-like blockhouses which
dot the crest of the green bluffs on the
shore shoWtevidence of life.
At the mouth of a small inlet, however,
lay tiny acoast guard vessel at anchor.
She was about the size of a small naphtha
launch andahad the yellow flag of Spain
floating from her taffrail.
While the dispatch boat was skirting
the shore two shots were fred at her
from a small fort, but they were probably
from smallfarms as the result of Spanish
target practice and could not be located.

FRENCH LINER CAUGHT.
The Lafayette Endsavored to Run
tho Blockade OFF
~ Havana.

Key West, Fla, May Con board the
Associated Press dispatch boat Kate
Spencer.-The big French liner Lafayette
of Santanazarc, with full complement
of passengers and general cargo bound
from Corunna, Spain, April %, was cap
tured off . Havana shortly before sun
down last night by the Annapolis.
The Lafayette was heading directly in
to Havana and was captured only after
an exciting chase. After being boarded
once by an officer of the Annapolis she
attempted to run for it, but was again
compelled to heave to. The Wilmington,
Newport and Morrill, participated in the
capture.
For over two hours Capt. Hunter of
the Annapolis, the temporary flag officer,
and Capt. Todd of the Wilmington ex-
changed signals. After the examination
of the Frenchman's papers had been
made prize crew from the Annapolis
was placed aboard of her and she was
sent to Key West under the escort of the
Wilmington. T,
A very delicate international question
is thought, TO be involved, because Of the
long consultation which finally resulted
in sending her&o Key West. The fact
that she is thought to have left a Spanish
port after the declaration of war seems to
be the warrant for holding her.
On the question of contraband of war,
the officers of the Wilmington are ret
icent. The very large number of male
passengers aboard leads to the suspicion
that she carried recruits for Havana.

SDanish Colonial policv

Prof. Moses Colt Tyler, who occupies
the chair Of American History at Cornell,
at a recent lecture on pre-Reyolutionary
colonial systems, speaking OF that Of
Spain, said: AS a student of American
history, / find that the Spanish colonial
system has beesi and is one Of unmitigated
horrors; that in all the record of American
colonial history, although the policies OF
England. France and Holland were cruel
and oppressive in many ways, yet in that
OF Spain not one instance of benefit or
kindness on the part Of the mother coun-
try toward here colonies can be found. A
recital of the barbarities practiced by her
upon her colonies would drive you from
the room in horror I do not intend to
make q war speech. III fact / deprecate
the policy of those hot-headed, talking pa
triots who are always ready to plunge us
into war and to join the home guards.
Yet when the efforts of our noble Presi-
dent and of our wise statesmen toward
an honorable peace and just settlement
of the Cuban question are exhausted and
war caEDt be averted, do not see why
a swift and awful blow of retribution
should not be dealt this harsh, this cruel,
this unrelenting nation, and why the last
yestige of her foothold should not be
blOtted out of this hemisphere"
The students in attendance applauded at
the reference to our noble President"
and at the concluding words.

Modern Wars Are Short.

Modern wars are quick, sharp and de-
cisive. For proof, read the history of the
Japanese and the Chinese war or the
Franco-Prussian war or the Prussian war
against Austria. The time of the Japan
ese war against China is reckoned by
weeks. France declared war on Prussia
July 10, 1870. The end practically came
September l. June Is, 1866, Prussia
asked Hanover, Saxony and Hesse-C assel
to withdraw from their support of Aus
tria. They refused. The next day the
Prussian army occupied their territory.
Eleven days later the Saxon army was
whipped at Langensalza. July 3 the bat
tie of Sadowa was fought and the war
was over. Modern equipments make such
wars Dis Spain fought with the Neither
lands or such wars as Carthage carried
on with Rome impossible. The time of
those wars VS. reckoned by generations.
The time of the war between the United
States and Spain, if war comes, will prob
ably be reckoned by days.

Decorative Nests.

The best builders are invariably those
which, not resting contented with mere
shelter, however deliberately or ingenious
" constructed, seek by various means to
beautify their homes. Sometimes SUPER
fuous additions, purely decorative in their
character, are made to the home; some
times the effect of establishment is pro-
duced by the selection Of such materials
as in themselves or in combination will
please the eye, care being always taken
not to sacrifice utility to appearance,
therein providing man with a valuable
example; and then, again, sometimes
and this is the very acme of art among
birds-purely ornamental and decorative
structures are made, the sole purpose of
which is to afford the builders and their
friends pleasant meeting places.
As rule, it is only among the pretty
plumaged or sweet-voiced birds that the
most fully developed decorative sentiment
is found. The outlaws and robbers of the
bird world, like the same classes among
men, either build not at all or confine
their efforts to the least that can safely
be done, wasting no time OF decoration.
So, too, with those expatriated birds who,
having been driven from their own kind,
pass their lives upon the water, content
ing themselves with bare rock or con-
venient sand hole.-Frank H. Sweet in
LippincOtt's.

ENGLISH TROOPS MOVE.
Soldiers Embark at Halifax for q
Destinati Which 10 Not
Known.

Halifax, N. s., May 6.-The Second
battalion of the Leinster regiment was
given an enthusiastic farewell as the
troops marched to the wharf to embark.
Long before the hour of departure from
the barracks, thousands of spectators
gathered at the navy-yard.
The band played "Rule Britannia" and
1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" American
and British flags were in evidence, and
one would imagine that the troops were
embarking to assist the United States.
Just as the last man went on the troop
ship a cablegram was received from the
war Office, England directing the COM
mander of the ship to hold the vessel I'M
til further orders.
Col. Glancery said he would not be sur
prised if the troops were ordered to Van
couver to 60 to the Philippine islands.
