ON A BURNING SHIP.
Seventy Passengers Have an Ex-
citing Time Off Barnegat-
All Are Rescued.

New York, July O. The Clyde
steamer Delaware from New York
to Charleston and Jacksonville was
abandoned off Barnegat, n. J., at 1870
o'clock last night, the steamer at the time
being on fire. The passengers and crew
left the burning vessel in boats and on
life RATS. There were seventy persons in
all and they were rescued by the mem
bers of the Cedar Creek life-saving sta
ton with the aid of the crew of the fish
ing smack, S. p. Miller. All the passen-
gers were transferred to the steam yacht
Ocean King and the captain and twelve of
the crew of the Inflated steamer were
landed at Barnegat, presumably to look
after the ship.
At 9 O'clock this morning the tugboat
Ocean King arrived at New York with
the passengers and part of the crew of
the steamer Delaware on board.
The Delaware was built in Philadelphia
in 1880 at Hillman's shipyard. She has
three decks and is 251 feet long, 81 feet
beam and II feet deep. Her register is
1897 net tons and 1916 gross tons.
Advices from Barnegat say that the
lifesaving crews on nearing the Delaware
found that the passengers had been
driven from the steamer by flame and
heat and were floating on the surface of
q calm sea in small boats and on life
RATS The Cedar Creek lifeboat was the
first to arrive. Some of the RATS We're
found to be dangerously overloaded and
they were lightened in haste until the
lifeboat was full. The fishing smack S.
P. Miller came up soon afterward and
took aboard the rest of the endangered
persons. At this time one boat had dis
appeared in the darkness and some fear
was felt for her safety. The Miller
cruised about in search of her without
success for many hours. She was finally
found when daylight came.
At dawn the tug Ocean King steamed
up. The passengers and some Of the
crew were transferred to her and she con-
tinued on her voyage to this city. The
captain and twelve of the crew were
taken ashore in the surf boats and beard
ed a train for New York to report to the
head office
Later reports from Barnegat say that
the Delaware is drifting off shore with
large clouds of smoke rising from har.

And She Rode On,

AS if utterly unaware that a new bicy-
Gle ordinance was in force, she jauntily
wheeled along the sidewalk of a brick
paved street, when she might just as well
have been in the road, says Short Skits.
One of the special bicycle police detail
was within seeing distance and he in
creased his speed until a little ahead Of
her. Then he dismOunted and waited for
her to come along.
He was evidently embarrassed for hav-
ing to interrupt a lady awheel, especially
one of middle age, and of matronly meas
ure.
'Ah-ah-excuse me, madam" he nerv-
ously explained, but I'll have to take
you down TO the Justices Office
With a GOODNESS that entirely disarmed
him. she smiled as she replied:
''Oh. sir. that's just what I've been
waiting for over thirty years. Come

HYMN BEFORE ACTION.

The earth is full Of anger,
The seas are dark with wrath;
The nations in their harness
Go up against our path;
Ere yet we loose the legi0ns,
Ere yet we draw the blade,
Jehovah of the Plumbers,
Lord, God Of Battles, add
High lust and forward bearing,
Proud heart, rebeiliOus brow
Deaf ear and soul uncaring.
We seek Thy mercy now;
The sinner that fOrswore Thee,
The fool that passed Thee by,
Our times are known before Thee
Lord, grant us strength to die
Tor those who kneel beside US.
At affairs not Thine CWn,
Who lack the lights that guide US,
Lord, let their faith atone.
If wrong we did to call them,
By honor bound they came;
Let not Thy wrath befall them,
But deal to us the blame.
From panic, pride and terror,
Revenge that knows no reign
Light haste and lawless error,
Protect us yet again.
Cloak Thou our undeServing,
Make firm the shuddering breath.
In silence and answering.
To taste Thy lesser death!
Fen now their vanguard gathers;
Fen now we face the fray
As Thou didst help our fathers,
Help Thou our host today!
Fulfilled of signs and wonders.
In life. in death made clear
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord, God Of Battles. hear.

THE SPANISH CASE.
Minister Polo Bernabe's Reply to a
COrrespondent.


WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Spanish
minister Senior Polo, has written a letter
to Henry E. Burton, of Middletown. Conn,
which, although personal in character, pre-
sents the Spanish situation from his stand
point. 1t was in response to a letter from
Mr.. Burton commencing the recent inter-
view of the minister asking for fair play
ard a consideration of both sides of the
case. Senior Polo's letter is as follows:
Dear Sir-I inclose herewith, in reply to
Your letter of yesterdays date, copies of
the new Constitution for Cuba and Porto
Rico. The Cuban Parliament (the House of
Representatives, elected by universal suf-
frage) will meet May 4. The interview of
which you send me a copy is a correct
statement of what l said to the representa-
tive of the Associated Press.
Ignorance of certain facts and eXagger-
alton of others has created a fictitious state
OF opinion that certainly could not exist if
the exact truth was known. 1t is next to
impossible now to convince the average
American that autonomy is a reality that
Cuba and that the government of Spain
cannot appoint single civil officer in the
Governor General. All the governors and
officials, including the judiciary, are APP
pointed by the Cuban Cabinet, and all of
them are Cubans. The Governor General
like the King of Italy and the Queens of
Spain and England, does not govern; he
only reigns as the Queens representative.
In this moment of trouble he has more
power as commander-in-chief. but in ordi-
nary times he will have, in reality, less real
control of affairs than the Governor General
of Canada
1T has been impossible to have the Span
ish and true Cuban sides of the question
made known. The newspapers have. with
very few exceptions, refused to publish
anything on our side of the question or
have done so in such a way that it has not
attracted the public notice. People have
made up their minds already on the Cuban
question and anything that is contrary to
their belief is supposed to be Spanish lie,
ETC., etc.
1T is also next to impossible to make
most Americans understand that if the in
surrection of Cuba exists the United States
have a great deal to do with it, and this
present situation here, certainly not created
by Spain, instead of helping to end the sad
state of affairs in Cuba only favors rebel
lion that has no means of assuming sue
cess, and has detained the very strong
movement for autonomy amongst the in
surgents that are not adventures or SOL
diers of fortune.
There is a talk of war all the time, and
while the probability of conflict hangs
on, that strong movement of course is held
back waiting events. | regret to say it
seems to me too late to change now Amer
lean public opinion, misled to such an ex-
tent in the Cuban question that it has &C.
tually arrived to the verge of insanity"

WAS A GREAT SURPRISE.
Belated Dispatch Regarding the
Armistice Proclamation.


MADRID. April g. via Bayonne France
April n.--While many persons here for sew
eral days past have suspected that some
thing was brewing the Cabinets decision
this afternoon Saturday to grant an armis-
tice Cor suspension of hostiities) was a
complete surprise TO most people and Great
ed great excitement. The general public
asked What security is there of the in
surgents accepting armistice? Won't
America wish to compel the insurgents to
submit by armed Intervention? If the Yam
KEGS are once in Cuba who will turn them
out?" 1t was learned this Saturday even
ing that the War and Navy Departments
have in no way relaxed their preparations
for the possibility of h, stities. They will.
it is understood, cor inue working day and
night for the present.
The general tone of the comment here APP
pears to be one Of disappointment. it being
alleged that the United States is getting
everything she asked. The Spanish officials
are throwing oil on the troubled waters by
representing that the government has sim
ply made submission to the Will of the Pope,
which carries tremendous weight with the
people in this country. Besides. many fam
lilies who are fast losing relatives and friends
owing to the prolongation of the war hail
the prospect of peace with delight Some
of the diplomats here express the opinion
I0aI the United states is now IN q better
position than she would have been had
Spain accepted the terms outlined in Gen.
Woodford'S note presented at the last con-
ference, which, it is said, only asked for the
immediate cessation of hoStilitieS and per-
mission to relieve the reconcentrados. Both
of these requests it is pointed out in some
quarters, have now been accepted and, it is
added, General Woodford has q free hand.
1t is further alleged that his efforts will
continue until one of three things happens,
the establishment of an autonomiSt govern
ment satisfactory To the insurgents: the
recognition of the independence OF cuba by
Spain, or the practical annexation of Cuba
to the United States.
HAVANA. April 1.-THE Official Gazette
to-day published a decree signed by Captain
General Blanco, announcing that the Span
ish government, yielding to the reiterated
wishes of the Pope had decreed a suspen-
sion of hostlities in Cuba in order to
facilitate the restoration of peace in the ISL
and. No time is fixed for the expiration of
the decree. Considerable interest was felt
i'm political and military circles when the
decree was read. The military men and
others are anxious to know the conditions
of the so-caIied armistice and the time Of
its expiration At the clubs and i'm the
cafes the matter was much discussed from
various stanopoints. The Spanards alleged
that they were not in sympathy with the
decree; but in any case. when 1t appeared
