LONDON, June 1.-THE Gibraltar CORE
spondent of the Daily News says: There
is great indignation here at the American
threat TO lombard Cadiz. AS for the rumor
that Spain has sold the Philippines to Ger
many, there have been so many irregulari-
ties in the war that one more would not
matter. So say the Spaniards.
The German view given vent to here is
this: President Mckinley never wanted
the war nor did any member of his Cabinet
want IT. 1t was the politicians. the jobbers
behind the scenes and some philanthropists
who dragged the President into the war
and have forced him as far as he has gone
The taking of Manila by the Germans
would enable him to say to the war party:
What did l tell you? Are we going TO try
conclusions with the Germans, the Rus
slams and probably the French? No; il
would throw the development of the United
States back too far TO do So. 4"

Col. Augusta Arnao, Maj. Donate Sato and
two privates of the Cuban army arrived
here to-day from Pinar del Rio with dis
patches for the Cuban Junto.. They report
that the health of the Cubans in the field
is excellent, but their food is scarce and
they are poorly equipped. Moreover. the
scarcity of arms and ammunition prevents
many from enlisting in the Cuban army

were hurt. The panic among the men was
terrible Officers tried to get their COM
panies into lire, but the army of wild horses
made that impossible. Many men began
shooting at the excited animals, but this
only excited them more. 1t seems impossi-
BILE to stop the stampede tonight. The
horses seemed to be attracted by the tents
and they rushed through the brigade of
three regiments and then back again, TAX
ing a different course each time. They have
already destroyed many tents. kitchen and
camping paraphernalia,
1t is not known what started the ami
mails on their wild rush. Taps had just
sounded in all the camps and the bands
had played their good nights. The men were
harly asleep when a loud cracking like the
firing of Calling guns startled them 1t
was the breaking down of the corral fence

sentinels began to yell like mad, Call out
the guard? Call out the guard" The guard
hurried out, but it was useless, as the ami
mails were then rushing over everything in
their path In half an hour the camps had
been stampeded three times and there
seemed to be no hope of driving the beasts
away from the breach. Forty men were
mounted by II o'clock and they were able to
check the rush some little or at least to
steer the horses from the camp

Big Gun Disabled.

WASHINGTON, June 16-The Navy De-
partment has sent to the battle ship Massa-
chusetts a complete new breech mechanism
for one of the big thrteen-inch guns of that
ship This was due to a report reaching
the department about a week ago that the
breech of one of the guns was out of order.
The new mechanism will be delivered in a
day or two, and can be readily substituted
for the old breech. The condition of this
thirteen-inch gun gave rise 10 rumors to-
day that the Massachusetts had suffered
rather severely during the first action off
Santiago. and that two of the big guns were
disabled and a gunner killed There was no
basis for the rumor beyond the dlsordered
breech mechanism referred to.

Lyman Abbott's Philosophy.
New York Independent

A hundred preachers and editors who keen
a well-Worn hammer for heretics are now
making an anvil of Dr. Lyman Abbott, who
they declare. is a pantheist. They may have
a right to say that his philosophy leads to
there. He is no more a patheist than they
are, although we have no desire to defend
that sort of monistic philosophy which he
expounds, and which Professor Strong the
sound Baptist theologian, has expounded be-
fore him.
