VITA NUovA.

Last night thers was wind and storr
And white waves wild on the shore;
But the room was quite warm,
When a stranger knocked at the door,
o, how. in the gusty street.
On the cobbestones slippery wet
Through the Gathering. battering sieet
Were his delicate footsteps set?
Last night there was storm and wind,
And rattle of icy rain;
But the hearth shone friendly and kind,
When stranger tapped at the pane.
Through the shivaring starless night,
And the fields tempestuous gray,
With shadows to left and right,
o, how did he find the way?
Bareheaded and barefoot he,
His shoulder and knees were bare
In the roar of the raging sea
And the rush OF the whistling air:
But the storm like dream went by,
And dropped in the dawning glow:
And here doth a stranger lie
Where none lay d night ago.
My lily. my rose, my dove.
My golden treasure of Joy,
My jewel of life and love.
My pure little spotles boy,
Unknown but daylight since.
My breast Is warm to your brow;
Eternity's self, my prince,
1t never can part us now,

COMMENTS BY THE PRESS.

Springfield Republican,: All sorts of

900 national defense appropriation. a
southerner sends up word that palmetto
cabbages make the best kind OF fortih-
cation and he offers for a consideration
to buy up all In sight and deliver them
TO points of coast defense. A citizen of
Kansas City writes that hog bristles
make bullet-proof cloth which, in the
form of thick mats could be hung around
the sides of the war vessels. He adds
incidentally that, in anticipation OF the
adoption of his suggestions, he has Sc
cured an option on all the hog bristleS in
the market.

FIX THE WHOLE THING UP.
Holland Submarine Boaimaker viii Clean Out
Santiago.
VIII Do the Whole job Himself II the
War Department VIII Take Him
and His Boat to Cuba.

New York, May 27.--The Press says:
]. j. Holland, builder of the Holland
submarine boat, has gone to Washing
pose of making an offer to the govern.
ment which, II accepted perhaps will
solve the problem of how to destroy
Cervera's fleet Mr.. Holland will sub
NIT his proposition to the secretary of
the navy at once. He Is willing to I'M
dertake to sail his submarine boat into
the channel of the narrow entrance to
Santiago harbor, destroy the mines
planted there and, II necessary. proceed
into the harbor and deal a few blows
at Cerveras vessels.
Mr.. Holland declares that his plan to
do this Is entirely feasible.
The boat Is in shape and ready for
the work, and he will agree. IL the sec
rotary of the navy thinks favorably of
unteers for the work.
All that he will ask of the author
tiles is transportation for his vessel and
men to Cuba Once there, he agrees to
do the rest Mr.. Holland proposes to
out and getting everything in readiness
under the protection of Commodore
Schley's squadron. Then, when the OPP
portunity offers. probably just at dawn,
the Holland will start on its mission.
Before 1t comes in sight of the fortifca-
tons which frown on both sides of the
entrance, 1t will sink beneath the sur
face of the water and steal quietly to-
ward the main channel
When this is reached 1t will recon-
noiter to get the layout of the mine
fields, and then. withdrawing to safe
distance, discharge one or more of its
submarine torpedoes among the mines.
This is the regular process known as
counter mining, which is similarly con-
Quoted. but by vessel above the wa
ter, which lays alongside the harbor
mines another series, which, when exx
ploded, open up the whole channel Mr..
Holland believes that by this method
the channel into Santiago could be
opened without difficulty.
He is prepared, II necessary, after
this task is accomplished, to proceed in
his craft underneath the water into
the harbor and attempt to blow up one
or more of Cervera's battleships. II the
navy department has not another plan
for disposing of Cervera's fleet, Mr. Hol-
lands scheme may be considered.

measures must travel together. Both
are equally important, and under the
circumstances 1t would be foolhardy
for us to forego our advantages in
Hawaii"
Senator Lodges action in present.
Ing the amendment was the result of
more or less conference, though of an
informal character, among the staunch
est advocates of annexation.
They express the opinion that the
amendment in the end will be accepted,
but admit that in all probability it will
result In delaying the passage of the
revenue bill. Incorporation of Ha-
Waiian annexation In the revenue bill
would, of course, have the. effect OF
forcing the matter upon the attention
of the House. Advocates of annex
alton say all but four Republican
senators and many Democrats, Popu-
isis ana silver Republicans will vote
for Lodges amendment.
The assertion is made by senators
in favor of annexation that the ad-
ministration Is more anxious than at
any previous time for legislation pro-
viding for annexation.
The condition of affairs In the Philip
pines, and the necessity for n stopping
place for our ships on their way to
thoes islands, they say, is the reason
for the present urgency. 1t ia assert
ed that to hold the Philippines with
out possession Of Hawaii would be
next to impossible.
Senator Jones of Arkansas, n Demo-
cratic member of the finance commit
tee, expressed the opinion that the
Lodge amendment would not be ac-
cepted.
at would" he snid, certainly delay
the bill indefinitely If passed"
