The Monitor, a newspaper published at

case two years ago. and published it at length,
which now seems, owing to the cure of it, to
be miracle. The facts were so remarkable
that many people doubted the truth of them.
They said = It is too remarkable, it cannot
possibly be true; the paper is mistaken, and
the man, although he may think himself
cured, will soon relapse into his former con-
dition," ETC., etc. The accuracy of its re-
port called in question, the Monitor deter
mined to find out definitely whether the
facts were as stated and whether the man
would really stay cured. They accordingly
kept a close watch on the case for taU0 years
after the first article appeared, and have just

Paris, November 2.-The SOliel to-

position assumed by the American
peace commissioners, says:
"No monarchial government would
have dared to conduct itself after the
fashion of the Americans. who are
forever talking so much of right and
liberty. The plan of the Americans is
now evident 1t is to take all or
SPANS colonies and leave Spain the
debts of all those colonies. This is the
result of the holy war undertaken to
insure the independence of the Gu
bans. What base hypocrisy do these
liberals, these democrats, these repub-
hcans show!"

maintenance of the status quo. In an
extreme case, the question should be
arbitrated.''
