COLORED TROOPS.
They Leave Helena on Their Way
to Key West.

HELENA (Mont), April 10.-The
famous Twenty-fifth Regiment, COM
posed of colored troops, left here to-
night at II o'clock for Key West and
Dry Tortugas, Fla, via Chickamauga
Park This regiment some time ago
received orders to pack up and be in
readiness to move on an hours notice.
This morning Colonel Burt command
ing, received orders to move tonight.
The men all express unbounded pleas
ure at being the first to move nearer
the enemy, and the probability that, if
infantry is necessitated in the war as
an outgrowth of our troubles with
Spain they will be the first in the field.
Although they have been in the North
west, with it's rugged winters, num-
Der of years, they feel themselves fully
equal to the occasion as regards the
great change in the climate.
They certainly presented a fine ap-
pearance in the final dress parade. The
regimental band was playing national
airs and lively tunes and the scene
would remind one of an old-fashioned
picnic rather than men starting on
what may be their last journey.
The companies stationed at Fort
Missoula proceeded eastward via the
Northern Pacific Railroad, while those
located here went to Fort Assinnaboine
on special train. They will join that
portion of the regiment located there
and will proceed in body to st. Paul
via the Great Northern road.

DELAGOA BAY.
England and Germany May Have
Trouble Over It.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-A cable to
the Sun" from London says: The re-
port that Portugal was coquetting with
Germany in connection with Delagoa
Bay has been denied, but there was
sufficient truth in it to induce England
to make inquiries at Lisbon as to the
reasons for Governor Alburque's pres
ence in Berlin, inquiries which were
instituted at the instance of Salisbury,
end elected satisfactory replies from
the Portuguese Foreign Office.
Ever since Emperor Williams fa-
nous telegram to Krueger, Chamber
lain has entertained a strong belief
that Germany had made the continu-
ance of Transvaal independence part
of the German imperial policy If that
be the case England and Germany will
come into a collision before long. 1t is
certain as British determination can
make it, that the Boer Republic will
cease to exist within the next two
years That is Chamberlain's policy,
and he wants Delagoa Bay in British
hands before that time comes. If Por-
tugal will not sell the British Cabinet,

Grace in Walking.

There is a foundation of fact for the
criticism that very few women are able
to walk gracefully. This is no doubt
partially due to the fact that Walkir e
as form of exercise is falling into dis
use-the more's the pity. Properly in
dulged, nothing can take it's place as a
health giving exercise. Even the scien-
tific papers have taken up the subject
of the feminine gait, and one of them
earnestly asks: How many women
know how to walk? Observe them in
the street or entering a drawing room,
even the better classes. One shambles
another slouches as if her shoes were
down at the heel but most of them
dive, straining every muscle in their
bodies, plowing along with strenuous
effort, like a ship in a high sea and
facing head winds. A perceptible
swing of the body should be manifest
with every step-that is, advance all of
one side at the same time, with a slight
turn right and left of the shoulders as
the corresponding foot is projected y
long step-not a Stride--ea easy, unhur-
ried, the leg thrown forward from the
hip--this is the secret of the ideal gait.

numerous conflicting versions pub
lished in Europe and America respect
ing the Pope's interference in the Gu
ban affair, the correspondent of the
sun" who is in a position to know
what goes on at the Vatican, tele-
graphs this statement from Rome
THE Pope first began to cherish the
idea of bringing about settlement of
the Cuban question as far back as the
middle of January. He began confiden-
tial inquiries at Washington and Mad
rid and sounded most of the European
sovereigns as to how they would re-
gard the scheme. He satisfied himself
that this was possible, and awaited an
opportune moment, which he thought
had come when the two Governments
concerned appeared to have reached
an inpasse.
From the first his action has been
unofficial in the strict sense of the
term. but it has been direct neverthe-
less. On April Sd his holiness sent q
telegram to Queen Regent Christina,
which 1 am in a position to declare con-
cluded as follows: I pray your maj
esty to suspend hostilities in Cuba and
to make every sacrifice compatible with
| the honor and dignity of the nation TO
prevent a bloody war, useless and dis
astrous for Spain. LEO P. p
Since then the Pope has occupied
himself with this question to the exclu-
sion of all other business 1t may be
said. in fact, that the foreign policy of
Spain has been directed from the Vati-
can, and until a few days ago his holi-
ness in this matter has dispensed with
the assistance of his Secretary of State.
Whatever conciliatory spirit has been
shown by Spain in the last ten days,
has been decidedly due to the Pope
His advice to the Queen Regent and
her Ministers has gone further than a
| recommendation to suspend hostili-
ties He has satisfied himself that
the Spanish cause in Cuba is hopeless,
and has urged the entire withdrawal of
the Spanish forces. And the fact that
the Pope selected Archbishop Ireland
as the medium of his confidential COM
munication with Washington caused
considerable surprise 1t has been ex-
planned that this selection was made at
the suggestion of Cardinal Martinelli
but the explanation has not satisfied
the clerical intransigeants, and notably
the Jesuits, who regard Archbishop
Ireland as one of their bitterest enc
mics.
"A great majority of the Cardinals
disapprove of the Pope's interference .

HAWAII WILL NOT BE TAKEN
AT THIS TIME.

Annexation as a War Measure Falls
Through, and the Senators In
Opposition are Firm.
New York, May ga Washington
special to the Herald says: Mem
bers OF the Committee on Foreign
Relations we're in conference with
the President to-day relative to the
proposition to annex the Hawaiian
Islands. Senator Davis, Senator
Lodge and other Senators who be-
lieve that Hawaii should be annexed
to the United States as war
measure, if no other good and suffi-
cent reason can be assigned, are
now convinced that the pending
treaty cannot be ratified by the
Senate at this time.
They informed the President that
opposition to annexation in the
Senate is just as strong to-day as it
was weeks ago, when the subject
was regularly up for discussion
Recent developments in the Pacific
Ocean, including the argument that
Commodore Dewey's feet might be
operated to advantage with Hawaii
as base Of supplies, appear to have
no effect on the opposition. Within
the last two days the question has
been discussed in an informal way
by Senators, aud there is a good
strong majority in favor of annexa-
ton. The position OF the majority
has been greatly strengthened by
the victory of Commodore Dewey
at Manila, and those who had pre-
viously discouraged the idea that
we would need coaling station in
the Pacific Ocean are now firmly
convinced that Hawaii would be OF
inestimable value to the United
States at the present moment.
All the old arguments in favor OF
annexation have been revived, and
to them has been added the new
conditions which have arisen since
last Sunday.
In spite of the force and per
sistency with wich the question o.
annexation has been urged, it's mos
earnest and confident advocates ar,
forced to confess that there is
sentiment against it in the Ssnat,
Of sufficient strength and determine
ton to prevent any action in thai
direction.
This condition of affairs has beer
fully explained to the President
and it is hardly probable that any
further agitation of the question
will be had unit il the opposition il
the Senate experiences radica
change of heart.
