far as the press is concerned the

principal papers OF Paris favor
America. A few journals that
do not are hedging. The Matin

the war. They are the more
noteworthy, as the Matin is
a serious paper. "There are
two things in the Spanish~Amer
ican war hard to understand.
What advantage is it to the
Spaniards to spread abroad
news of victory every time they
are beaten? They have done
nothing else since the outbreak
of hostilities. Then again why
do they forbid the sending of
telegralns from Madrid when
they contain nothing of value
to the enemy, This is really
tie worn out policy of the silly
ostrich, which thinks because
it's head is buried in the sand no

seeing that the suppressed news

Hobson Enriches the Language
London Daily Telegraph.


Is Lieut.. Hobson. by his gal
liant deed, likely to add word
to the nautical portion OF
the English language? 1t
looks like it. For example, a
river passenger steamer, one the
grimiest and most tum bledown
OF the many dilapidated craft
of the kind that plough the ST.
lent highway, nearly coll;ded
with a barge at London Bridge
the other day. The skipper
used strong language to the
barge. but to his taunts the lat
ter beloved, "Better take that
old tub out to sea and I1obsouize'
her!" The retort was greeted
with a burst of appreciative and
sympathetic laughter by the
passengers on board the vessel
thus characterized. If the MAJ
jority of the Thames passenger
steamers efficiently "Hobsonised
and replaced by comfortable
modern vessels, the change
would be welcomed by most OF
the people who use the river
service.
