a misunderstanding; nothing so UNI

So we agreed tacitly to disagree, and
after that met as mere acquaintances
at the homes of our common friends.
That was year ago. Then had gone
away to Europe with father and
mother. and was now just returned to
spend the holidays with uncle.
All this review of events passed
through my mind as I sat looking at
the fiimsy oblong of brown pasteboard,
much besmeared with black ink and
red from which glared out the letters
of that hateful name. Theodore Parker
Weston. 1t was year now since L
had seen him or even heard his name.
! wondered what he was doing and how
he felt toward me. Probably just the
same, as l indeed felt quite, quite the

But / would not have him know of

How was / to get 1T back to him? 1
wNld not return it myself to the
library, for l was not coming in town
again for week at least-auntie had
so much planned to keep us busy
through the holidays.
We had almost reached Waltham be-
fore i had decided what to do with the
wretched book But soon after this l
conceived the subtle plan of sending it
in town by uncle the next day. when
he came in to the office, and of having
him give it to a messenger boy for de-
livery to the address on the card. AS
for my own book, it was too bad. But
what could l do? l should have to
write my essay without reading it
again. Apparently, a good many book
reviews are written with no more than
a glance at the cover. Probably none
of the other girls knew more about
Richard Feveral'' than I. and had a
lively imagination; / thought 1 could
manage to say something. l spent the
rest of the journey in trying to gain
some insight into the principles of
acknowledgements, but without sue
| cess. 1t was not a primer, and I fear
that l have not scientific, electrical

At dinner uncle accused me of being
moody, for the first time within his
recollection: but he was really mis-

U. s. MILITARY PLANS.
Stated by Member of the Cabinet
They are Vigorous.

Washington, D. c., April 90
1.-THE ultimatum,' said a member of
the cabinet was entrusted to Assistant
Secretary Day of the state department.
Spain will be given 4S hours, that is
until Friday evening, to submit her re-
ply. In accordance with the terms of
the resolution, the president will de-
mand that Spain shall evacuate the is
land. The demand for this will be flat
footed and absolute, and no halfway
reply will satisfy the president. Nor
will any compromise that cOntemplates
the withdrawal of Spain's troops from
the island and the subsequent re-esta b.
ishment of Spanish control or the rails
ing of the Spanish flag over the country
be accepted by the administration.
eff Spain refuses to evacuate Cuba,
prompt measures will be adopted to put
into force the congressional resolution
A blockade of Cuba will, so far as at
present understood, be begun at once
There are sufficient war vessels in the
vicinity to make this effective. I think
such supplies as the Spaniards now
control will not last them more than q
month Then steps will be taken with
view to increasing the equipment of
Gomez's soldiers and furnishing them
with sufficient hardtack for food which
will enable him to harass the Spaniards
from the rear which will materially as
siSt in bringing them to terms. My own
individual idea is that it will probably
take two months to bring about the
results which will compel the Spaniards
to evacuate and enable the island to
be occupied by the United States with
out moleStation.
''The United States government will
not issue any letters of marque and
reprisal or countenance privateering;
but if the Spanish government chooses
to enter upon this line of warfare she
will have to deal with the nations of
Europe, with whose commerce she seeks

SPANIARDS WON'T GO.
Prefer to Stay in New York Rather
Than Be Landed at Havana

New York, April 20.-Spaniards in hum
bic circumstances, residents in this city
We're amazed last night when they learn
ed that the Spanish government meant
only to give them free passage as far
as Havana. On Monday Consul General
Ba1dasano published a notice saying that
he, acting for his government, was pre-
pared to make arrangements for their
transfer from this country to Spanish do
minionS.
They were told that the steamer Pan
anna would carry them. While Havana
is one of the ports of call of the Panama,
they believed that they would be trans
ferred at some other port of call to one
ship company, which would carry them
to Spain direct. But it seems that the
Spanish government contemplated no such
action and last night the situation was
go wherever his money would carry him,
those sailing free would be landed in Ha-
Vana-
The indignation at such course was
II was pointed out that for the impe-
cunlous Spaniard to leave the city where
ms right to life and police protection is
guaranteed and be landed in town which
will be starved or she1led, or both, within
a few days, would be to place his life in
jeopardy The mutterings against such
ana 1t IS not improbable that the Panama
Will carry less than one-half the Spanish
refugees which it was expected would be

mace Ior l0O Tree passages. No more viii
be accepted.
Every male Spaniard landing in Havana
is being recruited forcibly. The refugees
would be seized and made TO do military
work, so thab the protection which the
Spanish government is offering to those
who are unable to protect themselves by
sailing under neutral flag, is in reality a
delivery of them into the ranks of the
army in Cuba.

Cuba and Porto Rico to oust her from
those islands.
Under the plan determined upon Cap

blockade Havana, but will blockade
every other port in Cuba, both on the
northern and on the southern coasts,
and the flying squadron under the COM
mand of Commodore Sch1ey will take
similar action with reference to the
ports of Porto Rico.
Captain Sampson's fleet will probably
not reach Cuba until early Saturday
forenoon.
Commodore Schley's force. having a
great distance to steam, will probably
not reach it's destination until Monday
Spain may evacuate Cuba, but with
the bulk of our fleet still in home wa
ters, she would be able to keep up her
traditional practice of privateering and
thus continue to harrass the United
States and prolong the war for many
months. The authorities may hope for
a short war; but the extensive prepara-
tions show that it is their purpose to
be prepared for a long one.
