London, May a2.-1he Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
One point of interest in the reconstruc-
tion of the cabinet lies in the obstinate
refusal of Senior Leon y Castillo (the
Spanish ambassador to France) to accept
the foreign secretaryship. Every con-
sideration has been brought to bear in
vain. His first reply to the premier's re-
quest was that the interests Of Spain
would be best served by his remaining in
Paris.
Senior Sagasta answered pointing out
that the head of the government was the
best judge of the interest of the father
land and insisted upon the ambassador S
acceptance. To the surprise of verybody
the ambassador persisted in his refusal
and promised in personal interview to
prove to Senior Sagasta that it would be
grave mistake for him to leave Paris.
= u1A sspA0 w cHhVO uAiaO uLo ftlu Dc166duOT b
motive for refusal was the following:
Senior Sagasta's cabinet is by its own
formal Observation-Disclosures to. carry on
the war with all possible vigor, while
Senior Leon Catsillo is aware that
Spain's friends among the powers, France
in particular. are resolved to insist upon
her sueing for peace st the first favorable
opportunity
therefore, at the very moment when the
friendly great powers ere resolved to press
uponiSpain speedy peace appears impru-
dent to Senior Castillo, who is possessed
of all the threads of the negotiations.
The Times this morning in an article
reviewing the war takes il for granted
that Admiral Ceryera's squadron coaled
in Venezuelan waters from four British
colliers. 1t is suggested that the cruisers
Vizcaya and Infanta Maria Teresa risked
disadvantage in being reported there in
consideration of their ability to send de-
spatches to General Blanco, and then to
have rejoined the flagship at prear-
ranged rendezvous and to have arrived at
Santa go on the 10Th.
The Times says: 1.-THE high speed Of
the Spanishsauiser squadron SO far has
not been turned to any account, and al
| though its arrival at Santiago de Cuba
| may have some moral value in assuring
the Cuban garrisons that they are not
abandoned, no naval object seems to be
attained. The United States commanders
now know where the enemy Is and have
time to concentrate superior forces to
| cover their Vulnerable points

ANGLO-JAPA AN ALLIANCE.

spondent Of the Daily Telegraph says
says:
Confirmation Is given in well in
formed quarters in Vienna to the rumor
that friendly advances made by Eng
land to Japan have already attained a
tangible result. It is believed that an
Anglo-Japanese understanding has been
reached which not only comprshends all
eyentualities which can occur in the east,
but also contemplates all the consequent
ces that might result in the course Of the
Hispano-American war.

London, Moy 49, The Pretoria CORE
spondent of the Times says: The Star
publishes without the knowledge or ap-
proval of the government, the text of the
reply of the South African republic to
MIR. Chamberlain's despatch. The note
justities the Transvasrs contention that
1t cannot recognize any suzerainty since
the convention Of 1884, and quotes let
ter from Lord Derby, written in 1884,
which 1t contends shows that Lord Derby
intended TO abandon the suzerainty.
The note reiteratea the charge that the
British officials countenanced the jam

 And he had every right to consider himself engaged. She had accepted his attentions, his devotions, eventually his ring and also his presents. He had called upon Aunt and Uncle Mellen in New York, the guardians of the girls, and startled them out of all equanimity by the announcement that Miss Hay ward had accepted the offer of his heart and hand conditioned only on their consent, which he besought them to give.
 "1 own never thought of her marry ing in the army" said Aunt Charlotte, as do other aunts and mothers after their girls have been campaigning at the Point.
 ''What income, if any, have you out side your pay?" was Uncle .Mellen's more-to-the-point interrogation.
 Nothing, sir.'
 'Well, neither has she. That is, what she has is so small it wouldn' t keep that extravagant child in gloves. You two had better be sensible and think it over"
 Randy Merriam did think it over. but all to no purpose. The more he thought the more he declared himself hopelessly and irrevocably in love, and as Miss Fan took kindly to his protestations. and Parry and Charlotte took kindly to him and sympathized with the sol dierly fellow, who was evidently much of a gentleman and so much in love. it resulted in his being made welcome at Parry's club, received quite as Parry was at the Mellens-since not oftener than once week could he get away from his duties at the Point, and when Ned and Charlotte were married, as they were in state and style early in the winter, Merriam had many a good reason for believing that, despite his poverty, the next wedding reception held at the Meilen's beautiful home would be one in which he would be vitally interested.
 Well, he was; but not in the way or manner expected. In fact, he did not attend the ceremony or the reception; indeed, he was not bidden. A very dis agreeable thing happeEed to him with in a month after the Parry-Hayward wedding, one that verwheimed him with modification and distress, and caused no little indignation among his comrades.
