A DISPATCH sent out from Madrid last Fri
day says that the presence in that city of the
Spanish ambassador to France has started
rumors to the effect that the minister for
foreign affairs is about to resign. But this
is denied in official circles. 1t is said the
visit OF Senior Castillo is connected with the
governments negotiations to obtain the sup
port OF France and Russia, which is favored
by all parties. There is general feeling
that in the event Of war the racial and COM
mercial interests Of Great Britain would i'm
pei her to side with the United States. 1t
is understood that as the first effect OF the
understanding with France, Spain will re-
ceive financial assistance in order to avert
her national bankruptcy.
SOME indication of the extsnt Spain is
prepared for war is afforded by the meas
ures adopted to protect Havana against sur
prises. With the Vizcaya and Almirante
Oquendo there before the end of March,
the squadron under Admiral Cervers, COM
posed of the Alphonso XIII and the Maria
Theresa, with two second class cruisers
and torpedo boats, will be reinforced by the
battleships Pelayo, Charles V and Chris
topher Columbus, accompanied by three
destroyers and three torpedo boats. The
feet thus brought together in the West
Indies are described as representing all the
available naval force for foreign service,
and it will be entirely modified. some old
ironclads, which were recently refitted, be-

peninsula.
In an editorial on the Cuban question the
London Chronicle said last Wednesday that
President McKinley's action throughout
the crisis was "a model of craftsmanship"
1t declares that the action OF the Washing
ton government, in connection with the
Maine disaster, deserves the highest recog-
milton. "There is every indication" says
the Chronicle, "that the United States are
preparing for the inevitable struggle. Soon
1t will be necessary for Great Britain to
show on which side its sympathies lie.n
Arguing at considerable length upon the
'unselfishness OF Americas motives in de-
string to put an end to the hell upon earth
in Cuba, and insisting that America has
better right to interfere than has been put
toward as a justification in two out Of every
three wars in history" the Chronicle says;
1--WE hope Great Britain will not only go as
far officially as the furthest limits Of in
ternational law permit, but that public
opinion will declare itself openly, unmis-
takably and in the teeth OF all Europe, If
necessary, as sympsthizing heartily with
the motives impelling America at last to
take step 80 natural and yet one she has
80 long hesitated to take"

Of the side thereo Of EXODUS iiivii:17, IS.
We read Of the golden candlestick
Which stood In the temple of old.
How it shed light from its careful wick,
And of jesus presence told
How the central shaft was type of Him,
And the branches his loyal ones
Where in their midst with his light within
A saint.all the darkness shuns
The branches of beaten gold so fair,
liken to six pure things.
Which dwelt in the life Of her so rare,
Like the Joy which the sunshine brings,
Her education was keen and bright,
She was swift to understand,
And she drew the line 'twixt wrong and right
With the might of Master hand.
Her fearleSSneSs was like blade.
AS 1t flashed in sight of the foe
And tho woman, she was rightly made
To stand in the gap below.
And up from the slope to the hills high crest
She proved her leadership,
AS the knot Of white on her loyal breast
Compared with the truth on her lip.
Another golden branch was zeal;
How she toiled for the dawnng day;
How the tones of her voice like clarion peal
Called mothers to kneel and pray.
And conservation added its light,
To the other branches fair,
AS she stood by her Lord in his loving sight,
Yet shone for him everywhere.
One more, was her personal purity,
branch standing nearest the One

We see 1t now, that respendent life,
Made up of six golden bars,
And how they will shine in the night OF strife,
Like a constellation of stars.

March Winds,

Far herald from the frozen North
The green Of grasses bringing,
with violets on the way side slopes
And sounds of bluebirds singing;
How shall we Joy to find thee here,
When spring has slipped her tether,
Swift scattering from her, far and near,
Winds, and the windy weather,
By night the wild goose phalanx lone
To polar zone is flying;
BY day the kildee pover thrills
The pastures with his crying;
The white light flung from far-off skies
Drifts downward like feather,
And bending marshgra signifies
Winds, and the windy weather.
The orchard sap begins to stir
AS swift the March wind passes;
The primrose and the wild flower meet
Where cool wood shadow masses;
Aud DER the hills the rain and sun
Troop down the days together,
With weaving maze of blossom spun,
Winds, and the windy weather.

The World Smiths.

What is this iron muiic
Whose strains are born ATARI
The hammers of the worldsmiths
Are beating out a star.
They build our old world over,
Anew its mould Ia wrought,
They shape the plastic planet
To models of their thought.
This is the iron music
Whose strains are borne afar;
The hammers of the world-smiths
Are beating out a star.
We hear the whlrling sawmill
Within the foret deep;
The wilderness is clipped like wool,
The hill are sheared like sheep.
Down through the fetid fenways
We hear the road machine;
The tangled swamps are tonsured,
The marshes combed al d clean,
We see the sprouting cities
Loom Ger the prsirie's rim,
And through the inland hilltops
The ocean navies swim.
Across the tire llised land-ways
The lifted steamer slide;
Dry shod beneath the rivers
The iron stations glide;
Beneath the tunnelled city
The lightning cbsriots flock,
And back and forth their freight of men
Shoots like a shuttlecock.
The moon-led tides are driven back,
Their waves no more are free,
And islands rise from out the main
And cities frem the sea.
We see the mountain river
From out its cham ell torn
And welded to the desert
That Plenty may be born;
We see the iron roadway
Replace the teamer's rut;
We see the pairte village
Grow round the woodman's hut
Beneath the baffled oceans
The lightning couriers flee;
Across the sundering isthmuses
1t mingled sea with sea.
Smiths of the star unfinished,
This is the work for you,
To hammer down the uneven world
And there is much to do.
Scoop that unsightly mountain,
And raze that bullying cape;
The world is on your anvil,
Now smite 1t into shape.
What is this iron music,
Whose strains are borne ATARI
The hammers of the world-smiths
Are beating out star.
