His father WAS a section master on the
Georgia railroad and they lived in the
"ten-mile shanties,' which We're built

But if by living on the cut Rubber
acquired the chill and fever habit, he
also gained the knowledge which en-
ahlcd him to save the lives Of some 800
people-Sunday school children with
their friends ana teachers. 1t was the
picnic of Bubber'S Sunday school, but
because it fell on his chill day his
mother said he could not attend. So he
contented himself with walking five
miles up the riroad to Belair, the near
est station where the train would stop,
with a huge bunch Of flowers for his
Sunday school teacher. This teacher,

who did not know about Rubber being

WHY CASTILLO REFUSES.
X Opposed 10 War-Like Policy. Know
ing it Against SPANS Interest.

London. May 22-The Madrid CORE
opondent Of the Daily Telegraph, says:
one point of interest in the recon
struction of the cabinet lies IN the OF
~lfiuate refusal of Senior Leon Y Castillo
uhe Spanish Ambassador 10 t%rance), TO
accept the foreign secretaryshlp.
Il am enabled to state that the am
- Sadors motive for refusal. WAS the fol-
lowing: Senior Sagasta's cabinet IS by
lis own formal declaration determined 10
carry on the war with all possible vlgor.
whereas Senior Leon V Castillo IS aware
that Spain's friends among the powers
France in particular. are resolved TO IN
-i>t anon her suing for peace at the hfst
favorable omen France possesses 4
rvo-fold interest III having peace conclud-
ed-hnancial and political. The former
wonId be severely damaged if Spain Were
utterly ruined, and the latter would sui
FIR il the United States retained per
nanent possession of the Philippines.
The leading idea which actuates the
statesman being responsible for the po-
Iitical scheme iayored by Senior y Gas
tillo is that. as Spain must be WorSted Ill
the long run. it is advisable to save as
much as possible from destruction. II
that the sooner peace is concluded, the
more tolerable will be the terms ac-
uuiesced in by the United States. The
most important of these terms, III the
eyes of SPANS friends and protectors, Is
the possession of the Philippines.
TO become Il member of Il war cabl-
net. therefore. at he very when
the friendly great powers are resolved to
press upon Spain for peace. appears I'M
prudent to Senior leon Y Castillo, who Is
in possession Of all the threads of the
negotiations. Spain's Importance as Il
present factor in the Far East IS now
thoroughly understood, and everything
possible will be done to gam time ana
profit by it. The first and most import
ant step at present. therefore, IS 10 utl-
iZe the most propitious ONE for con
Guiding peace on the basis Of SPANS re-
tention of the Philippines. When that
time has come. and it is to be very
soon now that the Spanish squadron
is at Santiago-Spain will be asked to
provo pour pourleus and friendly efforts
Will be made to induce the United
States to rest satisfied with Cuba indie
pendence or with annexation, and to
ahandOn the scheme of running perman-
emily or occupying temporarily the Phll-
ippineS. These are the grave conSlder:i-
tons which determine Senior Leon Y
Castillo. who is Il party politician, and
usually submissive to the head Of his
party, to insist upon remaining rs am
basSador to pariS.'
