DIPLOMATIC TALK ENDED.

Foreign. Representatives Believe That
Nothing Moro Can Be Done.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The feeling
that an end has come to diplomatic
talk and that action alone remains is
shared in all quarters, including the
foreign embassies and legations, where
the ambassadors and ministers express
the feeling that all has been done in
Washington that can at all be done in
the cause Of peace. What is going on
at Madrid gives slight hope of such
concessions there as will alter the pres.
emit situation. There are no negotia-
tions, in the sense Of exchanges, on
pending propositions. Both parties
apparently have said their last word
concerning the respective propositions.
Certainly this is true as to tho United
States and there were no evidences
that the Spanish government would re.
cede. It in even doubtful whether q
concession of an armistioe by Spain
would be sufficient at this late moment
to turn the situation into peaceful
channels. r-s.-ess - ~ -, =

Hood 5 position in literature has been
affected by the circumstance that he
did two things excellently which in
the general view are incompatible, in
which case popular opinion generally
fixes ON the inferior gift as representing
the writer's real capacity. He was a
funny man" as well as a lyric poet Of
real quality and earnest aims and was
SO admirable and original in the former
and more abundant character that it
probably caused many to regard the
serious verse as merely an ambitious
bid for a reputation 1t was not in the
writer's power to achieve. Hood doubt
less helped to strengthen this impress
sion by practically ceasing to produce
serious poetry for some 10 years of his
short life. But that this was due to a
necessity for finding a ready market for
his wares is, | think, beyond a doubt
