SAGASTA TALKS OF HEDGING.
a Madrid Paper Credits the Premier with
Surprising Views.

MADRID, Aug. 22.-The government
will instruct the Cuban commissioners
to present n strong case for the recog'
milton of Spanish claims for compensa-
ton for the cession Of public works In
Cuba, the compensation to take tho
form OF saddling upon Cuba the bulk
Of the Caban debt existing in 1898.
The public Is still anxious for an
explanation of Governor General Au-
gustin's mysterious departure from
Manila, but its curiosity is not likely
to be satisfied for some time, the gov
eminent declining to say anything.
III Liberal publishes remarks made
by Senior Sagasta on the diplomatic
and political situation. quoting the
premier as follows: From a legal
standpoint of view tho present state of
things is neither peace nor war. but
merely n suspension of hostilities.
The armisticc would have allowed us
to dispel better the o~bscurity of the
situation; but the United States de-
clined to agree to our making u step
further in advance.
According to international law, a
suspension of hostilitics has been
signed and the surrender OF Manila
ought to have no legal efficacy. How
will that principle be understood by
the United States? This causes us
much anxiety and we give it great at
tention, but We are still awaiting the
information demanded from General
Judenes, which has not yet reached
us, on account OF the difficulties OF
communication between Manila and
Hong Kong.
"In Cuba. besides evacuation there
are many other problems. Spain may
abandon her sovereignty over the
greater Antilles; but there will remain
the question of edifices and all our
property. There are lawsuits before
the tribunals affecting the interests OF
the Spaniards. Where and when will
these be decided? In Havana, where
a large number Of criminals have beer
condemned by the Spanish tribunals
what is to be done with them?
"Then there are other questions for
which we have to fix IA base of discus.

Tho CzarInn's Health.

From st. Petersburg come poor ac-

OF Russia. Very little is said about II,
as the Tsar greatly objects TO all ref
to the subject; but, as a mat
ter OF fact. there has been aus for
some anxiety about the empress for
some time past. She has never been
very robust. and the attack OF meas
les from which she suffered early in
the winter has left her painfully weak.

that she can be the mother OF the two

Mounting photographic.

Amateur photographers are Often so
situated that they must mount their
own prints or leave them scattered
lost, torn or d~isigured. The proper
paste for mounting them Is supposed
to be ~unobtainable, save through ex-
pert hands. and for this reason many
valuable and interesting prints are
wasted. The very best paste for mount
ing prints Is made from ordinary laun-
dry starch, not the sort that comes In
packages and Is recommended for
CLOSING, but the common kind. Put a
heaping teaspoonful Of this in a tin
vessel, pour on a very little cold water
