how bright and cheerful he was usually
in his familiar correspondence, and the
following rhyming epistle is worth
printing here as an example of his not
infrequent efforts in that peculiar line.

A PLEA FOR AID
LONDON, March 31.-The Vienna cores
pondent of the Standard says:
1.-THE Queen Regent of Spain, I learn,
wrote personally last week to Emperor
Franz Joseph and other sovereigns, includ-
ing Emperor Nicholas, requesting, not pre-
cisely intervention, but the exercise II such
influence at Washington as might conduce
to peaceful settlement without injury to
Spain's dignity and vital interests.
ITO her relatives in Austria, Her Majesty
wrote that she regards herself as more
fettered than a real sovereign because she
Is only trustee who has undertaken to

father, unimpaired and uninjured.
al am in a difficult position she said,
having to act as guardian of the dynasty
which I must not expose to any danger,
and at the same time, as the defender of
the rights, honor and interests of Spain.
To surrender Cuba in any form would I'M
|questionably injure the dynasty under
which it occurred; whereas to fight for 1t
would keep these interests intact, together
with my country's honor. But the disad-
vantages Spain would have to fight under

Military authority always prevails In the
island, but Just now 1t is more rigid than
usual because of an autonomist riot few
nights ago In San Juan. Another outbreak
last night was only prevented by strong
forces OF troops and police.
There was big Indignation meeting In a
theater at San Juan. The theater was sur
rounded BY police, and at one time, owing
to the belligerent nature Of the crowd. the
police were ordered to make ready to fire.
Only the strong plea Of one of the police
officers prevented what would have been
undoubtedly a bloody riot.
Autonomy In the island, according to my
advices, has proved an absolute failure. At
first the reforms We're welcomed, but now
public sentiment has turned squarely
against them and at the autonomist cleo
ton to be held next Sunday 1T is very prob
able there will be hloodshed. Heavy forces
OF troops have been sent to the polling

prevails generally. Failure OF auntonomy

MONUMENT UNVEILED
IN MEMORY or CHANPLAlF, THE FOUNDER
OF QUEBEC.
An Interesting Feature Of the Occasion the Wei
come of the MarbIehead's Veterans
by Admiring Canucks.

Quebec, Sept 21.-The Canadian peo-
pie to-day paid a magnificent tribute of
respect to the memory of the French
explorer Champlain, who, 800 years ago
founded the city of Quebec. In the
presence Of one of the largest assem-
blages ever seen in the province of
Quebec. the spot near where the great
explorers body is supposed to have been
buried Il grand monument to his mem
DRY was unveiled.
The entire city took holiday, business
places were closed, daily papers sus-
pended publication and tonight the
quaint old city is cleaning with fan
tastic Examinations. The principal dig
nitaries of the entire dominion were
present.
On the great platform surrounding the
monument were many of the civil and
military dignitaries of Canada, and a
number of the international joint COM
mission.
To Americans the most interesting
feature of the occasion was the hearty
and enthusiastic reception given to Cap
tain McCalla, of the United States
cruiser Marblehead, and his gallant
crew. Three British warships, the Re-
nown, the Indefatigable and the Talbot
arrived here several days ago to partici-
pate in the ceremonies, but Her Ma
jesty's great sea warriors did not get
the spirited reception given the battered
and bruised old Marblehead with her
handful of Yankee sailors fresh from
the stormy scenes on the south coast of
Cuba. 1t was little after sunrise
this morning when the Marblehead
steamed up the river, and when she
came in sight the British warships made
the old walls of the citadel above them
fairly tremble with the thunder of their
welcome. The Marblehead answered
the salute with her fiye-inch guns.
The moment the Marblehead's guns
spoke out n tremendous cheer went up
from the ramparts and in Dufferin Ter
race where a great throng of people
were looking down upon the warships
in the river below. Then again when
the marines, with their colors and band
were marched up through the streets
and gate of the old city, it was one con-
tinuous chorus of cheers for the men of
the Marblehead
At the unwilling ceremonies the Mar
blehead men were given the position of
honor facing the monument, and they
had all the time the lions share of the
crowds admiration. Captain McCalla
was received with warmth by Admiral
Sir John Fisher and all Of the Canadian
officials.
