his way clear to advance him this money,

finally that men Of pure Malay blood had

over the islands there were formed lodges

on the simple minds Of the islanders Of
Oceania by all that appears to them mys-
ferrous, symbolic or enveloped in highly
imaginative ritual, the extraordinary de-

be called surprising. The philosophic or

Comments on the Latest Phase of the
Cuban Situation-The Armistice a Rec
ognition of the Cuban Insurgents as
Bclligerents.
LONDON, April 1.-THE Times COM
menting editorially Monday morning
on the latest phase of the situation
says:
I'VE can not doubt that had the Sa-
gasta government taken this truly
statesmanlike and patriotic action a
little earlier it would have led to a so
luton honorable to Spain and satisfac-
tory to America. Even now, despite
the ominous tone of our New York
correspondent, we find it hard to be-
lieve that so signal an advance on the
part of Spain will not meet with some
response from Washington.
ut is to be earnestly hoped that
nothing in President McKinley's mes
sage will CRATE needlessly upon the
feelings of Spain or enhance Senior
Sagastas difficulties"
The Daily Mail says:
The armistice implies q recogni-
tion of the insurgents as belligerents
and it is therefore a very notable step,
if not too late"
The Daily Graphic thinks that unless
the powers are convinced that the
Cuban insurgents will accept an armis-
tice and the United States is ready to
give autonomy fair trial, the pro-
ceedings are more creditable 10 their
hearts than to their heads"

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Permission
has been given by the state department
to the United States consuls in Spain
TO leave that country if they so desire
pending the threatened severance of
all diplomatic relations between Spain
and this country. They have not been
ordered to leave, as such case is not re-
sorted to except in the case Of rup-
ture between the two nations, but they
are permitted TO exercise their own dis
cretion in the matter. The effects of the
consulates, such for instance as unin-
portant papers and furniture, will be
turned over to the representatives of
some friendly government. AS Great
Britain has authorized her consular Of
ficers in Cuba TO take charge of the eff
fects of all United States consulates
there it Is presumed like authority
will be given to English consular Of
ficers in Spain.
