that the game of war is hedged round
by as many restrictions as boxing

These regulations, says Tit-Bits,

the civilized countries of the world,
are designed to insure fair play for
the combatants.
When it is intended TO lombard a

HYMN BEFORE ACTION.

The earth IS full of anger,
The seas are dark with wrath;
The nations In their harness
Go up against our path;
Ere yet we lose the legions,
Ere yet we draw the blade,
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord God OF Battles, aid!
High lust and forward hearing,
Proud heart, rebellious brow
Deaf ear and soul uncaring,
We seek thy mercy now;
The sinner that foreswore thee,
The fool that passed thee by,
Our times are known before thee
Lord, grant us strength to die!
For those who kneel beside us.
At affairs not thine own.
Who lack the lights that guide us,
Lord, let their faith atone.
II wrong he did to call them,
BY honor bound they came;
Let not thy wrath hefall them,
But deal to us the blame.
From panic. pride and terror
Revenge that knows no reign
Light haste and lawless error,
Protect us yet again.
Cloak thou our undeserving,
Make firm the shuddering breath
In silence and answering,
To taste thy lesser death,
Fen now their vanguard gathers:
Fen now we face the fray
AS thou did'st help our fathers,
Help thou our host today
Fulfilled Of signs and wonders,
In life in death made clear
Jehovah OF the Thunders.
J, Lord God OF Battles, hear!

Report That the United States Will Pay

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. IA secret
meeting was held tonight at the palace
between the commanding officers of the
American army, and the Cuban leaders.
The strictest secrecy was maintained,
but it can be said with good authority
that General Garcia was present. The
meeting lasted an hour and half.
The information obtained is to the
effect that the Cuban situation was
thoroughly reviewed, and it was re-.
solved to disband the Cuban army, and
the United States should pay the men
off. This will involve the expenditure
Of $15, 000,0 900. but 1t is most important
to the prosperity Of the island. where
the wealth is almost entirely agrioul-
tural, nobody daring to cultivate his
lands while the insurgent bands are in
the field, laiding and burning.

Alger, and it was with the latter that
he conferred for an hour with the presi-
dent. It is generally expected that
General Lee will head the military
commission which will adjust affairs in
Cuba, and also he has been strongly
urged for the governorship Of that
island. after the functions of that COM
mission cease. On both of these points,
however, General Lee asserts he knows
nothing. He admitted, however. that
he had been talking over matters in
Cuba generally. Then he added:
"The first work which will have to
be done in Cuba will be to make ar
