She has sinned but in the SHINING
How she suffered none can tell
Imps around her, devils grinning,
Dragged her downward into Hell:
Arms outsiretched to God in Heaven,
Fearful was her final cry,
Like some Eve from Eden driven,
Wailing Father, let me die :"
She has sinned but she has suffered
And was human after all,
Who of us can throw the first stone
Let us chide her for her fall;
Walks there on this sphere terrestrial
Man or woman nought can tempt
Even angels most celestial
Are from SHINING not exempt.
She has fallen but in falling
Was there one who heard her cry,
While on others Thou art calling
Do not--do not pass me by 81
Was there one who gave assistance
When again she sought to rise =
Was 1t not u worlds resistance
That has placed her where she lies
Once serpent's hiss allured her.
Once Williams guile deceived.
She was young and he assured her,
She was trusting and believed;
Like simoom DER desert
Burned his breath upon her check,
Bleaching Virtues crimson bushes
Leaving Reason frail and weak
Wild. and wilder yet, she battled
With the tempter's Memnon tone,
But the tempter knew her weakness
And he won her for his own.
Time went on and rumors floated
Lightly through the village air
Sister sinners smiled and gloated
When the truth Was all laid bare.
Downward, downward ever downward,
To the blackest depths of Hell,
Sank She into biacl; Dishonor,
Praying pleading as She fell;
There. beyond that window curtain
With its mocking crimson glare.
Sought the girl death most certain
In the vices practiced there.
Now she fingers. faded, blighted.
Robbed OF beauty, shorn of shame.
Cursed, abused. dcspised and slighted,
Without honor. without name;
But her story may be written
On a Heart that knows il all
She may find Il sweet forgiveness,
We may answer for her fail.

Nothing But q Memory.

- ~ 0-Ns
Nothingsbut memory
That is all own.
And perhaps tomorrow
Memory will have flown;
Even recollectios
Can not always live
II our retrospections
win no pleasure give;
Yet there is a gladness
In each reverie.
Though tinge of sadness
Mocks my passing glee,
And that memory fingers.
Charming all the while,
Nourished by the pleasure
OF a single smile.
Nothing but a memory
Not withered flower,
Not token given
To recall the hour;
Not a picture even
OF your form or face,
Save the one engraven
In the depths OF space;
Not a single tribute
OF that love sublime
Not a gift or trinket
TO endear the time;
All you ever gave me
Was fieeting smile.
And. though l shall love you,
is ii worth the while

sides endeavoring to hasten their voyage by proceeding under their own steam.
 With no monitors on his fleet Rear Admiral Sampson will be able to steam at rate of twelve knots an hour and keep his squadron well together, and under forced draught may be able to reach fifteen knots. The New York and Brooklyn, with the auxiliary steamers and torpedo boats which will be attached to his force, will be able to speed at such a rate as to be able to over haul the Spanish armored cruisers and hold them engaged until the Texas, followed by heavier ships of the line, come to their support.
 If the Spanish fleet is coaling, as is believed, then the operations of the board can be completed without undue haste, and the combined armor-clad squadron can be sta toned at a strategic position to be selected, from which 1t will strike in any direction that the enemy may make his appearance.

all others. Where will Sampson find the Spanish fleet, assuming that the Spanish admiral does not avoid an encounter by running awayP Opin- ion is crystallizing that the greatest naval battle of the war will be fought in the neighborhood of Havana, and in support of this theory number of considerations are advanced. Chief among these is the entirely re- liable information received by the Navy Department several days ago that the Spanish ministry promised Blanco, at the time the blockade of Havana was proclaimed, that fleet would be sent to raise it and to re- lieve the beleaguered city.
 While dozen conflicting reports have since been current regarding the movements of the Spanish vessels, the Navy Department now realizes that they were dispatched to Cuban waters at the time the promise was cabled to Blanco, and it is also ap- parent that the Governor General of Cuba confidently looks forward to their arrival. Press advices from Havana received to-day emphasize this expectation, saying that the stock of shot and shell for coast de- fense has been greatly depleted in the effort to prevent the landing of parties from the American ships and in replying to the bombardment by the United States warships of the shore batteries. Admiral Cervera is said to have a large supply of am- munition for these batteries.
 Three important announcements were made to-day under rcircumstances which introduce an element of sus- picion in each case. Admiral Samp- sons destination was officially given as Cienfuegos, the Spanish fleet was said to have left Willemstad, Cura- coa, for Western Cuba, and the ap-

not necessary, nor would 1t be good policy, to attach the monitors to the combined fleet, and the probabilities are that these vessels will be stationed in front of Ha- vana or at Southern ports for their protect in case the Spanish squadron should attempt to bom- bard any coast city.
 With such a squadron as the officials contemplate forming the enemy's fleet, if met in battle, will, it is confidently believed, be totally crushed.
 Rear Admiral Sampson will have under his command, 1t is expected, the battle-ships Iowa, Indiana and Massachusetts, the second-elass battle-ship Texas and the armored cruisers Brooklyn and New York. Handicapped as Rear Admiral Sampson now is by monitors, his speed is not more than eight or nine knots. For the reason that the fleets speed is the speed of the slowest vessels the Terror and Amphitrite are being lowed, be-

discussion here, and hundreds of tele- grams are pouring in daily. If any Cali fornian Is appointed to command bri- gade it will be Colonel H. G. Otis of Los Angeles. This is well understood in the California delegation tonight. General Dickinson has now been endorsed by the Democrats and Populists, Mcguire, De Vries, Barlow and Castle.

NEW YORK, May 1o.-The Herald's Washington correspond ent telegraphs: Spain's fleet in the Caribbean Sea is to be met by a squadron con sisting of the armor- clads of the United States in the North Atlantic waters. This seems to be the intention tonight of the Naval War Board, and preparations are being made to effect a junction of Rear Admiral Sampson's fleet and the flying squadron, under command of Com modore Schley, with all possible dispatch.
 If necessary Commodore Schley. according to one official with whom talked to-day, will join Rear Admiral Sampson on the south coast of Cuba, in order that the southwestern section of the Amer ican bloekading squadron may be protected and to place the Ameri- can force in a strategic position to attack the Spanish fleet at what ever point it may appear.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Senator Gray and other influential men have made strong protests against the cruiser Columbia and other fine war ships being kept on the New England coast, when the enemy's ships are in southern waters. Senator Gray had business with the President to-day and called his attention to the matter.
 Tt is stated that these ships are kept on the New England coast to allay ap- prehension," said Senator Gray. Well that is all foolshness. Here those ships are kept on this coast when there is not a particle of danger, while the

Spanish squadron is not far from southern waters. l do not believe anybody has any idea that the Spanish fleet would attempt to sail 5000 or 4OOO miles from it's present position to at tack New England, and be without base of supplies when it got there. While our ships remain on the New England coast, the southern coast, much nearer to the Spaniards, is un- protected. So is the coast of the mid dle Atlantic States. Our ships should be with one or the other squadrons."
 It is said that several other New England Senators take the same ground as Senator Gray.

General Wesley Merritt, who has been selected by the Government to command the expedition about to be sent to the Philippines with the purpose of completing the work begun by Rear-Admiral Dewey, and to administer the affairs of the islands as Governor General, has refused point blank to go with the troops which have been selected for the task of driving the Span iards out of the archipelago, and who are expected to maintain order afterward.
 It is therefore question whether the War Department will alter its plans or not. Should the present arrangement of sending I5,ooo men, only 1000 of whom are regu- lars, be adhered to, am in a posi- ton to state that General Merritt will not be their commander. He has given the matter serious study since the official announcement was made that he had been chosen for duty in the Far East, and what may be considered his ultimatum will be presented to Secretary Alger by Colonel Robert F, Hughes, Inspector General on General Merritt's staff, wko left this city on the midnight train for Washington.
 It has been an open secret on Governors Island for days that General Merritt does not relish the job of taking the Philippines. He was supposed to be desirous Of commanding the army of invasion in Cuba, or even one that may be sent to Porto Rico. His rank, his experience and his knowledge of tactics were such that military men said at the beginning of the war that he would naturally re- ceive the most important command in the field. Other considerations, however, have prevented the naming of General Merritt for the command of the troops massed at Tampa or about to be mobilized at Chickamauga. General Merritt remained in charge of the Depart ment of the East, while Generals Wade, Shafter and Brook were sent to the front, and in the De- partment of the East General Mer- ritt is likely to remain for some time to come unless the policy that has been pursued at Washington since the opening of hostilities is changed.
 General Merritt, at his head quarters on Governors Island, was seen to-day and asked when he expected to start for Manila. He replied: "It is not settled yet whether am to go. 1 have asked the department to furnish a suffi- cient force of trained and disci- plined troops. would not care to go with force of 5000 men, only 1000 of whom are regulars and the others volunteers from the militia of the Northwest. Gen. eral Otis may be willing to 20 with less force, but am not. The command they propose to give me is not adequate to my rank. It is all very we'll for them to say that additional troops will be sent later if they are needed, but the history of all such expeditions is that after you get away these promises are not kept.

Brig adier-General Otis is expected to go with the first detachment of troops for the Philippines to be followed later by General Merritt who Is to be the com mander-in-chief of the expedition and the Military Governor of the islands. General Miles has recommended to the President that tv-o additional brigadiers will also be sent, but their names have not been announced.
