LOYALTY OF CUBAN WOMEN.
They Are the Dravest, Wisest and
Most Dangerous Foes with
Whom Spain Has TO Deal.

Cuban men in arms frequently pre-
sent themselves for pardon. No Cuban
woman has ever been known to barter
fealty for mercy. There are traitors in
Cuba, but they are never women.
Havana is full of devoted women
reared in Incidence and luxury who are
tireless in their successful efforts to get
word from one scattered rebel band to
another, and to send them food, medi-
cines and clothing. These women are
far better conspirators than their ia
theirs and brothers, for Cuban men
a plot before it is revealed. The wom-
en- in that country, at least, seem to
know the value of silence. They say
little of war, even among themselves,
but to Americans they are singularly
confiding. This instantaneous and
perfect trust is at times startling, and
makes one breathe a fervent prayer
that it will never be betrayed. 1t leads
to many strange experiences that can
not be treated as news and sent 10 a
daily journal, for the required publica-
ton of names would tend to swell the
already overcrowded and vile quarters
for women in the island jails and pris-
ons. Beautiful and delicate senoritas
will impulsively dress up in boys
clothes to illustrate to Americans how
they steal out at night to the nearby
haunts of lover or brother in the Long
Grass" as the insurgents camps are
called; how they secrete food ip false
pockets; how letters, whose envelopes
have been dipped in ink, are hidden in
their black hair; how medicines are car.
ried in canes, and cloth for clothes or
wounds concealed in the lining of their
coats, One girl, disguised as a vender,
has frequently carried to the woods
dynamite in egg-shells deity put to-
gether. She has had many thrilling ex-
periences, but her narrowest escape
was when a Spanish soldier by the road
side insisted on taking from the basket
an egg, to let it's contents drop in hot
and ready pan. He was with difficulty
persuaded to forego the meal. The
dynamite was made by another woman,
who carefully obtained the ingredients
at various times and at widely scattered
drug stores.-Thomas G. Alvord, in
Woman's Home Companion.

DIVERSIONS OF ROYALTY.
Some of the Games with Which
Reigning Crowned Heads
Amuse Themselves.

Many of the crowned heads turn to
games inthese days of relaxation from
state cares. The emperor of Germany
turns frequently to tennis for sport, and
he has constructed one of the best APP
pointed tennis courts in the world at
the castle of Morbijon. 1t is appropri-
ately decorated, and the emperor him
self superintendent the building, as he
understands the builders trade. The
car of Russia is a master hand at the
game of ieralache, or Russian whist,
which is like our whist, except that
there are no trumps.
The emperor of Japan, of course,
prefers the national game of "go."
Schools for the study of this game are
established in japan, and several pc
riodicals are devoted entirely to the
subject. Queen Victoria prefers BRETT
spiel, German game resembling back
CANNON, which she learned from the
prince consort. Princess Beatrice has
taken mp lofting, new kind of golf
game; she is also capital golf player,
and belongs to several clubs, to which
she presents valuable prizes. Prin-
cess Victoria Of Wales is a skillful hook
ey player.
Archduchess Elizabeth of Austria
takes her athletics in the form of long
tramps with her mother. The king of
Spain's pet pastime is kite fighting, a
contest between two kite flyers to see
which can capture or disable the others
kite. A game called the knight Of
Spain" is also another one of his sports.
The young queen of Holland rs devoted
to badminton and her bicycle. The
queen of Italy has a reputation as a
pedestrian; for relaxation she turns to
chess.
Queen Christina of Spain is an ex-
pert fencer and a good piquet player.
Piquet, or Picquet, has been known in
Spain since the early ages under the
name of cientos. Bowling is the favor
lite recreation Of Queen olga of Greece.
she is also quite devoted to games of
solitaire, particularly the one called ST.
Helena, which is played with two packs
of cards, and said to have been played
by Napoleon in exile on the island of
ST. Helena.-N. Y. Sun.

And now here is letter from Mr.. j.
c. Pressly, of Abbeville, S. c., who says
he is coming to the veterans reunion
in July, and wants to meet his COM
rades of old Tige Anderson's brigade
and especially of the Seventh Georgia
regiment. He wants to know what be-
came of old Maj. Minton, who fought
with the Eighth Georgia, though his
son was in the Seventh. Why, he is
dead, of course, for he was near 10
when he joined the Eighth as an anna
teur, and he fought all day at the first
battle of Manassas and receiveda slight
wound in the head and that night he
went to DR.. Miller and said doctor,

OUR FRIENDS IN ENGLAND.
They Would support Us In Any Con-
tinental Combination
Against Us.

The reasons that induced the presi-
dent of the United States to withhold
his message have not yet been fully
stated, but in all probability the SIM
plest and most natural explanation is
the true one. The president was told
that il he sent his message and war re-
suited the lives of the American citizens
in Cuba-women and children as well
as men-would be in grave peril. In a
word, the consular authorities asked
for another three days to withdraw the
American population of Havana.
Statesmen with q strong sense of re-
sponsibility are never sorry for an ex-
cuse not to say word which makes the
guns speak; but here it was not a case
of excuse, but an almost imperative rea-
son. The risk of massacre of the
Americans in Havana was a risk too
great to run if it could be prevented by
a few days delay. As we have said, this
explanation is quite sufficient; but
there may be another, though it is one
which, by its nature, could not be dis
closed. Though most unlikely, it is
just possible that the president found,
or fancied he found, that he was face
to face with a coalition of the continent
al powers formed nominally ito pre-
serve the peace of the world, and to in
duce Spain to yield to all reasonable
and moderate demands which may be
put forward by the United States in
regard both to Cuba and the Maine"
Suppose that such coalition exists,
or looks like coming into existence-a
coalition formed of France and Russia,
Germany and Austria-the president
might well feel cause for hesitation and
delay. If he were warned privately
that negotiations were going ON, and
were to notice confrmatory symptoms
In the official behavior of the CONT
mental ENJOYS, it would want very
strong and resolute president to put
aside all thought of considering the
continental pressure. No doubt presi-
dent of the highest craftsmanship and
determination would say at once:
Nonsense. This is only bluff. The
continental powers are not going to do
anything but use hints about Spain.
The moment we act all their protests
and talk of we could an we would
will die away. Besides, if such a crisis
were actually to take place, England
must and would come to our aid, and
we and England need not fear any
coalition" But then Mr.. Mckinley,
though he may be brave, probably
would be a good deal bewildered by the
thought of America against all Europe
In all probability, too, he would not
feel sure that he could reckon on our
help, for he would mistake our habitual
diplomatic reserve for Indifference. AS
a matter of fact, if America were real
ly attacked by great continental coali-
ton, England would be at her side in
"a hours.-London Spectator.

The fans carried by little girls and
among all classes are the open, fat
fans called uchiwa (oo-chee-wah), while
those carried by boys and men are the
folded ones called ogi (o-gee. g hard).
The ogi are used even by policemen,
who scatter crowds by striking right
and left with this folded fan, certainly
a more merciful weapon than the club.
In national costume. the gentleman
carries the ogi in his girdle or in some
part OF his dress, at all seasons except
winter while the lady carries the
