 There IS every reason to believe the Spanish Goy- ernment deliberately involved the country ln war with the United States for the purpose o preventing an instruction at home. With the Carsts planning for revolt on one side and the republicans on the other while anarchists are plotting everywhere and ready to strike they did at Barcelona in the assassination of Canovas, the Ministers of the Queen decided that foreign war, however disastrous, could therefore they held their way in Cuba, though they knew the war hopeless, that it was bringing the nation to bankruptcy and would involve conflict with the United States.

A SONG FOR CUBA.

The nations of Europe. all girded in greed, Behold thee, O Cubai and heed not thy cries: Had they hearts thou hadst long since been happily freed;
 Thou hadst liberty long since if they had but eyes. They call themselves Christians, yet prey on They fawn on the Turk and they tolerate Spain; They worship the strong, and they scoff at the meek,
 They are worse than the yultures that feed the slain.
 Already its sunburst Is seen In the east; The heart of thy tyrant is quaking with fear, And the vulture in terror forsakes his grim feast. The eagles of war are abroad In their might; The rush of their wings drowns the roar of the seas, They are seeking thy foe; he will soon be in flight,
 For the star-Spangled Banner is flung to the We have kindled our crucibles white with the steel
 That shall free thee; our forges are red as They are shaping weapons of war for thy veal,
 Whilst, for thee, our great furnaces sing Freedoms songs. O. Thank God! for the manhood that speaks in this hour For the hearts that respond to thy pltiful story; For the spirit, o Cubal that fears not the Of thy foe; and thank God for our banner. Old Gloryi

 Such be the sons of Spain. and strange the
 fate
 They fight for freedom who were never free kineless people for a nerveless state, Her vassals combat when their chieftians flee, True to the veriest slave of treachery Fond of a land which gave them naught but

 Pride points a path that leads to liberty Back to the struggle, baffed the strife, War. war Is still the cry-war even to the
 knife.
 Ye who would more of Spain and spaniards
 know,
 Go read whate' CT is writ of bloodiest strife Whate CT keen vengeance urged on foreign foe Can act Is acting there against mans life From flashing sctmiter to secret knife, War modeth there each weapon to his need So he may guard the sister and the wife, so may he make each curst oppressor bleed So may such foes deserve the most remorse-

 The testimony on which the belief in the growing revolutionary spirit in Spain rests is not derived to any great extent from American sources.

swIFTwATER BILL oUTDoNE.

James Daughtry, best known to fame as 'Nigger Jim, is spending his Klondike coin with a lavish hand, as if he had the money of the Rothschilds,'' said G. R. Mayfield of Seattle to a Washington Post reporter.
 "He has been leaving a carmine streak in our town during the past fortnight, and saloon-keepers, night liners and other folks who cater to the hilarious think he is the only real good thing that has hit the place in many moons. Yet there was a time, and not so very long ago when 'Nigger Jim was not ordering up quart bottles with the redundancy that now characterizes his game He was a very dejected and impecunious individual when, after working at Circle City for some months without striking pay dirt. he started for the Klondike late in the winter of 1S96-97, and with a debt Of 5000 resting upon him. But fortune smiled on him soon after his arrival in Dawson.
 An old friend one of the richest men in camp, gave him a chance to get in on the ground floor, and pretty quickly Daughtry had a half interest in one of the best claims on Bonanza After less than a years residence at Dawson he pulled out with a fortune estimated in the neighborhood of $500 900. Lately he was cabled an offer of s100,00O by an Eng fish syndicate for four of his claims on Bonanza Creek, and it was this latest boost of fortune that led him to set g pace In Seattle little more rapid than ever Swiftwater Bill attained.

 The people of the United States do not rejoice in carnage They do not approve of the thunder of the tannon when every reverberation means that death has been hurled In the abstract they detest the shedding of blood But the pulses thrill in contem- pation of the achievement of Dewey.

WAR CAUSED BY OMISSION OF A
 WORD.

A war between Poland and Sweden was caused by the omission of the. word "etcetera" in 1854. In that year Polish nobleman became obnoxious to the laws of his country by reason of his having committed a crime. He fled to sweden, wrote to Charles Gustavus. King of Sweden, demanding the surrender of the criminal. The King of Sweden. on read ing the dispatch, noticed that his own name and titles were followed by two "etceteras," while the name of the King of Poland was followed by three. The missing "etcetera" so enraged the hl2e of Sweden that he at once declared war against Poland. The war was carried on with great bitterness until 1860. when peace was signed at Oliva. near Rantzig.

 Plans had been made for an elaborate unveiling, at which there would be a fine military parade and an address in eulogy of Grants life. This was planned for some time near May 2S, but owing to the war difficulties 1t has become necessary to postpone 1t indefinitely, so that now the people can only guess at the beauty hidden by the heavy veil.

the statement made by the Spectator re-

England in restraining the European
powers from composing the diplomatic
defeat of the United States IN the begin

He states that France combined with
Russia and Germany to diplomatically
interfere to save Spain and all that re-
mained was to get England TO assist or
20 tacltlv maintain neutrality.
The French ambassador brought a
note to Salisbury stating that diplomatic
interference would re made at first and
if that failed, the powers would send an
armed force to America and break its
power. Much to the French representa-
tive's surprise, Salisbury positively re-
fused to consent to the note of the pow.
