SPAIN TO FIGHT FOR YEARS.

Views of a Diplomat who Is In the Secrets
at Madrid,
In an interview with Spanish diplo-
mat who is in the service of the Madrid
government he denied that Spain would
ap peal TO Europe after making show of
fighting. On the contrary, he said, she
would fight for years if necessary to re-
tain Cuba He repudiated the idea that
the result of the war would be a repub-
lie in SPAN. The Carlists, be asserted,
were the Strongest party, and they wouid
help the government, while the Queen
Regent was adored throughout the
country. A republic may come some
day, he SAID, "but not unless spain is
defeated thoroughly and her national
honor DIS a kingdom defaced. The Span
ish land and sea forces are perfect.

not crilicise the American fleet or the

A Chinese Opinion of Us.

Everything depends upon the point of
view. A Chinese writer who recently
made tour of the United States assure
his lcountrymen that the Americans are
barbarians. He says: They live months
without eating mouthful OF rice; they
eat bullocks and sheep in large quaint
ties they have to battle frequently; they
eat meat with knives and prongs; they
never enjoy themselves by sitting quiet
ly on their ancestors graves, but jump
around and kick balls as ii paid to do j.,
and they have no dignity, for they may
be found walking with women"

fare. under an ancient archway, is a
heavy wooden gate, much worn by the
lapse of TIM, thickly studded with fan
taste nails, and provided with a prodigi-
GUS knocker. The latter, however, is
not needed, for the gate yields to an en-
ergctic push, and you find yourself in

hanging out clothes among the gaupt,

been living for years past. Hill pro

in his letter declares that he wishes to
enter the army and fight against
Spain,
