UNCLE SAM KEEPS HIS HEAD SHUT
AT THE CAPITAL

Washington, June 1O.-There
is no official confirmation of the
report that Spain is seeking
peace.
The president had quiet time
thiSmorning, receiving nothing Of
fetal until the arrival of the cabi-
net. He was disturbed less than
usual by demands for personal
interviews. Mrs. Hart called for
official papers releasing the par
doned filiibusterer.
1t is the general understanding e
in official circles that Shafter's s
force of 1900 men will be divided
after taking Santiago; one part
remaining there and the other
gong to Ponce, on the south
coast of Porto Rico. The posi-
tive date Of departure will be de-
termined by Coppinger's readi
ness to start to San Juan. Sim
ultaneous attacks by land and
sea will be followed by junction
with the remnant of Shafter's S
expedition, which will travel by
the military road, seventv-five
miles from Ponce to San Juan. BIZ
secting the island. 1t is believed
the campaign in Porto Rico will
dishearten Spain and season the
American troops for a decisive
victory at Havana.
Senator Aldrlch presented the
conference report on the revenue
bill to the Senate this afternoon

ENGLISH SENTIMENT
London, June lO.-The West

says: Liberals desire nothing
more than to draw close the
bonds with America. Careful
handling is needed, because,
Judging from the present conduct
of foreign affairs, we have
grounds to fear the best policy

dom and perseverance. We
plead for care in dealing wit h
America because we are anxious
to save that cause from the tickle
ness Of the present government.
Mr. BaIfOur, the government
leader, SAID in the House Of
Commons this afternoon, that
Intervention was impossible with

Melon News

Mana ger w. II. Roberts of the
Melon Growers Union, issued to
the growers today the following
card:
"ihe tone Of the market has
had downward tendency for the
last few days owing to the fact
that most Of the southern offices
have received their first cars.
BUYERS seem to hold off until
guanO bills are settled. From
quotations daily by wire | am
confident that the market will
revive within the next few days
and become settled at prices that
will range much better even than
last wear. The drought extends
all over the Florida melon belt.
West Florida shipped her first
Car on the 9th, averaging twelve
pounds. Georgia is in just as
bad n fix.
SO far, "A little over a week, til e
union has shipped - cars of
melons. The crop is being in
iurpd by the drought, but less
near Ocala than elsewhere.
South Florida is ruined Mr..
Roberts says the drop in the
price is just temporary: that
next week and even the week
following will see good prices
e>ta blished again and cOunSelS
the growers to rest easy and not
pull their crop green and Sacrl-
flee them, thinking the market
is ruined. Many large cities
have not yet had a car of melons
and prices in these places are
good. Mr. Roberts has a melon
in the +. G.. < p. ticket office

grown ON his Lake Weir place
and SAYS he will have much

The TIL emes of Tiberius.

The recent recovery of some remains
OF the famous triremes of the Emperor
Tiberius, which lie at the bottom OF
Lake Nemi, is of great in; crest bott! to
artis and antiquaries. The Lake OF
N-mi, viii b is situated about seven
teen mics south east of Rome, is forD- ed
by crater of an extinct volcano.
Upon its broad bosom once fioated the
magnificent pleasure house of the
luxurious and licentious emperor,
Tiber us Claudius Nero, who, leaving
his duties at Rome in the year A. D.
26, retired the following year to the
Island of Csprae, where he INDUCED
in the greatest sensuality. His love OF
luxury and display was exhibited in
the two famous pleasure trireme s
which bear his name, and the remains
OF which now lie buried in the Lake of
Nemi. The discovery referred to con-
els of the finding of several massive
metal mooring rings, and tops of stakes
by which the vessel could be moOred to
tie quay. The rings are fixed the
mouths and bronze heads of lions,
wolves and Medusae, by the teeth OF

Despite their long immersion in the

Baron Hickey was Baron" :.only
through al assumption OF his own, for
that title is not peculiar to the French,
snd his title also of prince of Trini-
dad" was not of official origin. More
over, had he made any serious attempt
to carry out his p ans regarding the
capture of the Hawaiian Islands, no
doubt yet another title of
more or less fantastic origin
would have been added to his ititular
repertoire. The baron will be remem-
bered also for his having married one
of the richest girls in America. and for
having wri ten a little book on a really
Internal philosophy, which prOmi
uent physician in this city says could
have emenated only from diseased
b-aiu. This was the Ethics of Suicide
or Euf hanasia.
Hickey considered suicide as q
msritorious method of br dying the
chasm where ones life was swamped
with trouble and he expressed wonder
that SO many people could and d re-
main on this earth amid sorrow aud
affection when by a single act they
could escape from life's woes and, as
he claimed, heat rest. Hickey argued
that the deity himself might commit
Suicide. The entire BOOK was u
speculative philosophy of the most
sOmber character and the illustrations
would bring shudder to any one.
There were fullpage illustrations OF a
man standing before mirror, where
he cou d the better see how to proper
ly sever his jugular vein with q
razor, an illustra tion of man
suiciding by throwing himself from q
wharf, a picture showing a man blew
ing his brains out while sitting on his
bed. s-picture of young woman To-
haliug the fatal fumes of charcoal from
q brazier. picture of a man lying
prone on his bedroom floor after tax in e
. bottle of deadly poison. At the same
time the author would reason how
beautiful truth was when discovered
in all its pristine purity. The man
was daft on the subject of suicide and,
l. IS believed here, came to practice
what he pre- ched.
The baron is inferred in $50, 900
mausoleum in San Francisco be size the
remains of his father rec ntiy br oueh
over from Paris, and as in life SO in
death. is he surrounded by glittering
wealth. His wife is very much pros
trated over the sad affair, and his faith
ter-in-law, the Standard Oil million
aire, positively declines to take stock in
the suicide theory.

LONDON, Aug. l6.-The Madrid cor.
respondent Of The Daily Mail says:
The comments of the press ON tho pro.
tocol are veritable funeral hymns on
the destruction Of the Spanish colonial
empire. Some days ago the desire for
peace made the people close their eyes
to the price but now upon reading tho
protocol they realize that the cost is
the loss of that empire which Spain
has conquered with 80 much glory and
that Spain now falls to the second rank
among nations. The public mind is
stunned and there is general mourning.
General BIanco telegraphs that Ha.
vana is greatly agitated by the news Of
the signing of the protocol and that
much anxiety is manifested to learn
the conditions, which have not yet
been published.
Many newspapers express great de.
spair that the men who brought disas.
ter on Spain by lack of foresight. or.
ganization and ability. should continue
to govern the country.
