THAT DE LONE LETTER AGAIN
No Direct Disclaimer Has Been ~
Yet Made by Spain.

New York. Feb. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
The De Lone incident is still unsettled.
The cipher dispatch received from Min
lister WOOdford was not entirely satisfac
tory. 1t was taken to the president by
Assistant Secretary Day. and after short
conference between them Mr.. Day sent
another cablegram to Minister WOodforql.
Officially nothing. will be said about
these two communications further than
that the incident is not yet entirely closed.
II is said that Minister Woodford's cable
was report of his interview with the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs. which,
showed that no direct disclaimer had been
made by Spain of that feature Of the DE
LONE letter which has been interpreted To
indicate the insincerity of the Spanish
government in the matter of autonomy
and in the negotiations for commercial
treaty.
Absence of such disclaimer is not en-.
Mckinley believes that when the Spanish
minister of foreign affairs fully appreci
ates the Interpretation which has been
put upon De Lome's letter in some quar-
tiers in the United States, he will hasten
to disavOw it. Minister Woodford ha.
been told in a positive way what the presi
dent would like to have done. In Other
words. it is said he will Use delicate diplo
macy to secure the end desired, and thu
president is sincere in the belief that an
other interview between Minister Wood
ford and the minister for foreign affair,
in Madrid will end the whole trouble.
As far as that feature of the De Lom,
letter criticising the president is con
cerned, the incident il closed.

The sky line of New York is changing so
rapidly that the American traveller who
goes abroad can recognize with more Ger
tainty the profiles of the foreign cities he
approaches than that Of his own metrop-
oils as he sees it from the deck of the
steamer on his return. 1t may be his first
visit to Europe. He may know London,
Rome and Paris only from views of them
In old prints, but If he has an eye for
such things his first glimpse of st. Paul's,
st. Peters or Notre Dame will tell him to
what place he is coming, for all the world
knows these pinnacles, has known them
for centuries. They are as conspicuous
and characteristic in the silhouettes of
their cities az they were when they were
built.
One of the Dutch governors of New
Amsterdam, seeking in spirit some fla
miliar earthly habitation, might find old
Amsterdam for it cuts the same figure in
the sky today that it did when he left 1t,
but the last dead boss of New York, If by
any chance he should get away from where
he ought to be, would search the horizon
In vain for the face of his city The fea-
lures his eye would seek are there: Old
Trinity still stands, its steeple, like the
spires Of the old oathedrals, uplifted high
above the earth, but its solitary promi-

AN official dispatch received at the Hague
from Batavia announces that the capital Of
Amboyna one of the Molucca islands, has
been completely demolished by an earth
quake. Fifty persons were killed and 200
were injured. The Moluccas. or Spice
islands, is the name applied to the islands
Of the Malay archipelago, between Celebes
and Papua. They are volcanic and fertile.
WHILE service was in progress in the ca
thedral at Havana last week q man named
Ramon Wives entered and fred several re-
volver shots. The bullets struck the image
OF ST. Peter, destroying the chalice and
hand. The shooting caused the greatest
alarm and the people dispersed amid wild
confusion. Wives, who was promptly dis
armed by those near him, has been sent to
lunatic asylum.

SILK AND TAILORS.
First Person who Found the Value Of

the Little Worm.
The first person In all the world who
raised silkworms for the purpose of rob-
bling the cocoon Of its soft covering was the
Empress Si-Lung- Chez, who reigned in
China 2700 B. G. She Is now worshiped
as goddess of the silkworm. Once each
year national festival Is held in her hon
or. The reigning empress and her maidens
resort to the temples of Si-Lung Chez, and
pay her in flowers and spirit money an in
stallment upon the debt which China owes
to her, for did she not make the important
discovery whereby the poor may earn life's
necessities and the rich may rustic in shin
ing garmentsp
Perhaps more people wear silk in China
than in any other country, for plain, raw
silk is almost as inexpensive as cotton.
Even for winter garments the material Is
made to serve, with layers of wadding
placed between the outside and the lining.
AS their garments do not go out Of style,
1t Is not necessary to buy new ones until
the old are we'll worn. This is a great
item of saving for every one but the tai
lors, but IL the people followed the example
Of the tailors themselves there would be
still less for that craft to do. Like the feet
of shoemakers' children, the Chinese tai
Tors, while at their work, are as nearly
bare as possible. When we'll fattened, their
uncovered bodies suggest the animals
which Americans inclose In a sly. The
more like well fed porker a Chinaman
becomes the prouder is he of his looks, for
q corpulent man is regarded by his almond
eyed brethren as high type of humanity.
