behind those twinkling hands the light

no coarse noise of pounding on the

SYMPTOMS OF BUCK FEVER.

A MichIEan's Mana Fir.t Experiences
So With a Deer.
a Marquette citizen tells In. Mar
quette Mining Journal his experience.
with buck fever" He had never tried
to shoot a deer, and hunting them was
new to him. After spending a few hours
tramping through the woods, feeling
tired, he sat down on n log to rest for a
short time. Now, like most hunters, he
had taken his pipe and tobacco along.
t1lling the pipe, he smoked for a time
without interruption, when, happening
to turn his head a little to one side. he
saw a large buck coming straight
toward him. AS luck would have II.
he had sat down 10 smoke near a deer
trail.
The deer kept getting nearer and
nearer, until he got nearly opposite the
place where the hunter sat concealed.
While the hunter was watching the APP
proach OF the deer he forgot that he had
n gun, and that the deer was his meat"
He began TO tremble and shake in every
limb and joint, and 1t was n difficult
matter for him to restrain n yell of
fright. He watched and trcmbled until
the deer was passing his hiding place
and into the thicket beyond. Then. feel
ing for his pipe, he discovered that Il
lay on the ground near his feet. BY
the time he had picked it up the deer
was out OF range. and then he discoy-
cred that in his excitement he had hit
ten the mouthpiece CT his pipe in two.
He was greatly relieved to see the deer
move on, as il seemed TO him that he was
the game and the deer the hunter.

FOR SUBMISSION.

The Continental Powers of Europe
Intervene and advise Spain to
Yield.
New YORK, April 9.-The World
publishes a copyrighted spscial
from Madrid on Thursday night, by
way of Bayonne, France, which says:
The ambassadors OF the FIVE great
powers, Frace, Russia, Italy, Germ
any and Austria, have automatically
informed the Government OF Spain
that war with the United States can
only be averted by Spain yielding.
There is no reason to believe that
the powers made extraordinary pro-
positions to Spain. They have said
in effect that if she would make
such concessions to the United
States as they believe to be necess-
airy the powers would guarantee her
against war, both external and inter
nal.
The powers could delegate one OF
their own number, Austria, whose
throne is 80 closely allied with Spain,
the duty to defead Spain against
any internal foes that might
arise, as a menace to the dynasty, as
a result of the demand of the United
States. Austrian troops would have
behind them the allied moral and
physical forces Of Europe. Tho
Papal Nuncio who has been re-
peatedly at the palace during the
past "a hours, is believed to be in
sympathy with this program.

wEYLERs TREAoHERY.

It Is Said That Lee Has Proof of
His Guilt in Causing the Maine
Disaster.
New York, April 1.-The Herald's
Key West correspondent sends the
following: There now seems no
doubt that Lse will present docu-
ments to President Mckinley prov
ing absolutely that Weyler placed
mines in Havana harbor and planned
destruction for any American war
ship that might visit Havana, on a
friendly mission or otherwise. Lees
assumption is that Weyler SYM
pathizer in the navy yard was the
actual agent who accomplished the
purpose, planned by Weyler, OF
destroying the Maine.
Upon this Lees mind dwelt when,
just before the Fern raised anchor
on Saturday evening, he proposed a
sentiment which concluded with the
open charge that Spanish mine
caused the death of the officers and
men of the Maine.
One OF the attaches of the Con-
sulate in Havana, who is here yet,
awaiting orders which will probably
come from Washington tomorrow
afternoon, assured me that Lee car
ries indisputable proof Of Weyler's
perfidy. My informant has for
months been very close to Lee and
certainly knows whereof he speaks.
He said that if the papers the Am
erican Consul carried are made pub.
lie they will cause an international
sensation.
These papers are in most cases
original documents and are fully
attested. One places Weyler in the
position Of self-confessed butcher
who would willingly sacrifice the
lives of hundreds OF human beings
for the simple reason that they hap
pened to be connected with an Am
erican warship.
In other words he openly boasted
his ability to blow out OF water any
Yankee ship that entered Havana
harbor, no matter what position
might be taken. The mines were so
carefully arranged that they COM
manded every anchorage in the
harbor.
My informant also intimated that
Lee carried to Washington plan Of
the harbor, showing the location OF
the mines and the methods and
means Of operating them from the
arsenal.
