HAVANA, April 2Z.-Captaih 81
Blanco has published decree declaring
the Island of Cuba in state of war.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-Great excite
ment prevails here tonight over the re-
ported capture Of the American Liner
steamship Paris by the Spanards.
Close upon the heels OF the capture to-
day of the Spanish steamship Buera
Ventura by the United States steamship
Nashville off Key West, came the start
ling rumOr about the Paris.
1t is said that the Paris had just left
Southampton bound for New York. Last
week the Paris was chartered by the
United States to be transformed into an
auxiliary cruiser.
Being one of the fastest vessels that
sails the seas she was at once approprl-
ated by the Secretary of the Navy, when
it was certain that war could not be
doubted.
1t appears f ON the statement made
here tonight that the Paris was boarded
by twenty-five or more Spaniards as pas
sengers just before she left her sailing
berth
Son after she put to sea and had
passed the three-mile limit Spanish
warship hove in sight and proceeded to
capture the American liner without re-
sstance.
The Spaniartls on board the Paris
proved to be Spanish sailors in disguise.
The report stated that the war ship
with its rich American prize started i'm
medately for the nearest Spanish Port.
The report caused CONSERVATION at the
Navy Department, but Secretary Long
authorized Il denial Of the story in the
absence of any official information on
the subject.
KEY WEST, Fla, April 22.-The cap
tain and crew OF the Spanish steamer
Buena Ven,u n, captured by the
Nashville, were transferred to the
Dolphin late this afternoon.
The dispatch boat was coaling at the
naval dock, and the prisoners were or
dercd to lend Il hand at shoveling. All
of them save the captain did so without
protest. The latter at first refused but
finally was compelled TO give in and
help hurry the fuel into the lighters.
KEYWEsr, April 22.-The Mallory Line
agent here gives notice that the steam
ship service between New York and Gal
weston has been suspended indefinitely.
1t is understood that the vessels have
been chartered by the Government for
transport purposes.
WASHINGTON, April -. Congress is
Withholding formal declaration OF war
pending the arrival of the war supplies
purchased alb DAD, which are now en-.
route to the United States. The declarl-
tion would have been made yesterday or
to-day but for the, information from the
Secretary Of War that many millions of
dollars worth of wa supplies are yet to
be delivered in this country.
While an actual state OF war exists be-
tween the United States and Spain,
neither country has formally promul-
Rated declaration of war. 1t is held by
able international lawyers that under
the circumstances it may be advisable to
delay making declaration for the
present. 80. sJca..aIg rl,RYgls

A Natural Fog Horn.

At the FarallOnes the erosive agents
have worked with queer caprice. This
rock being granite, has been acted
upon by the sea at all levels, and
throughout the lOng period when it has
been rising out of the water depths.
Through a long, narrow hole, slanting
and communicating with the ocean,
there comes at intervals terrific
stream of air, forced by the spasmodic
heaving of the waves against the lower

this island for lighthouse purposes, In

which was heard far out at sea and
above the din of the breaking rollers.
1t was allowed to roar only in foggy
weather. but 1t was eccentric in that
it would only sound at high tide.
When the tide was low, although the
weather might be very thick the thing
was silent. For lack of its warning a
ship went ashore upon the island rocks,
and then it was that the government
abandoned its location on the wind
hole and erected steam siren, or
mechanical fog horn. which has since
very faithfully performed the necessary
service.-Harper's Magazine.

Over and over again the old truth
comes back to US. that no man is good
for much till he has suffered a great
sorrow. The baptism of pain Is one Of
the instrumentalties which God uses
for purging away the dross OF our ma
lures and making us fit to be partakers
of the inheritance of the saints in light.
Not those who have escaped the fiery
trial, but those who have gone through
it and come out unhurt ahd glorified,
are to be envied. God knows what is
best for us. Therefore He sends first
one atfliction and then another upon us.
Sometimes, because He sees it to be
necessary, He lifts the very foodgates,
and allows wave after wave OF mis-
fortune to sweep over us. II we have
the right stuff in us, we shall be

Ate His Dinner in u Graveyard.

AS Brooklyn Fifth avenue trolly
car stopped the other day at the sta
ton adjoining Greenwood cemetery an
old man in the rear of the car startled
the other passengers by exclaming in
tones loud enough to be plainly heard:
"ln the midst of life we are in DEATH"
Following the direction of the old
mans eyes, the other passengers saw a
cemetery employe seated on low white
stone at the head of a newly made
grave. A tin dinner pail was firmly
held between his knees and from it he
was eating his MONDAY meal. Near
him playing in the grass was little
girl, probably the mans daughter.-N.

THE BOYLESS TOWN.

a cross old woman of long ago
Declared that she hated noise:
'The town would be SO pleasant, YOU
know.
If only there were no boys"
She scolded and fretted about it till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead.
And then of a sudden the town grew still,
For all the boys had fled.
And all through the long and dusty street
There wasn't Il boy in view;
The baseball lot. where they used to meet,
Was sight to make one blue.
The grass was growing on every base
And the paths that the runners made,
For there wasn't a soul in all the place
Who knew how the game was played.
The dogs were sleeping the livelong day;
Why should they bark or leap?
There wasn't whistle or call to play,
And so they could only sleep.
The pony neighed from his lonely stall,
And longed for saddle and rein;
And even the birds on the garden wall
Chrped only a dull refrain.
The cherries rotted and went to waste;
There was no one to climb the trees;
And nobody had single taste,
Save only the birds and bees.
There wasn't messenger boy--not one,
To speed as such messengers can;
If people wanted their errands done
They sent for messenger man.
There was little l ween, of frolic and
noise;
There was less of cheer and mirth:
The sad old town, since it lacked its boys,
Was the drearest place on earth.
The poor old woman began to weep,
Then awoke with sudden scream:
dear me" she cried, II have been asleep;
And oh. what dreadful dream"'

The Porto Ricans demonstrate their
patriotism by shouting for freedom and
feeding themselves.
At the Storzzi palace In Rome,
Italy. there is book made Of marble,
the leaves being of marvellous thinness.
Bangor manufacturers are sending
canoes of birch and canvas to Pales-

If the earth were not enveloped with
atmosphere, the temperature on the
surface would be about $50 degrees be-
low zero Fahrenheit.
In building nests birds usually avoid
the use of bright colored materials,
which would add to the chances of the
enemy in locating them.
In 1897 South Africa imported
81, 437, 534 worth of bicycles. In the
civilization process the wheel seems to
take precedence of the railway.

WHAT THE LAW DECIDES.

Blowing a locomotive whistle loudly
several times under Il bridge over
which vehicles are constantly passing
Is held, in Mitchell vs.. Nashville. G.. IL
st. l.. Railroad Company CTenn.), ~

Il matter of law. to satisfy the obliga-
ton of the company but its duty In this
respect is Il question of fact.
The liability of n street railway COM

Bullets Now Made of Paper.

There used to be saying In the old
dueling days of a generation past that
every bullet has its billet Now. If we
may believe a statement In Der Mill
tararZi, the time has arrived when a
billet, even a billet-doux, may be con-
verified into bullet. The journal states
that French army surgeon has In
vented bullet made of compressed pa
per. covered by a thin sheet of highly
polished aluminium. The new bullet
it is claimed. is less expensive than
those in use; it makes equally as good
targets at any range. and the wound
made by it is, surgically, clean, healing
with far greater ease than wounds
made by any of the missiles now in use.
Thus, while the number of wounded
may be no less. the labor of surgeons
will be lightened by the absence of sep
tic conditlons.-Invention.

In Jail for Debt.

The Kings Bench was the largest Of
all the debtors prisons. 1t formerly
stood on the east side of the High
street, on the site of what is now the
second street north of st. Georges
Church. This prison was taken down
In les, and the debtors We're removed
to larger and much more commodious
place on the other side of the street
south of Liant street.-the site Is now
marked by a number of new and very
ugly houses and mean streets. In the
year 1916 the prisoners had to lie two
in II bed. and even for those who could
pay there were not beds enough and
many slept on the floor of the chapel.
There We're 800 prisoners; in addition
to the prisoners many of them had
wives and children with them. There
were go wives and 275 chlldren-a to-
tai of 1 1893 sleeping every night in the
prison. There was good water sup
ply, but there was no intirmary, no resi-
dent surgeon. and no bath. Imagine a
place containing 1899 persons, and no
bath and no iniirmary. Among these
prisoners, about a hundred years ago,
was a certain Colonel George Hanger,
who has left his memoirs" behind him
for the editicaton of posterlty Ac-
cordng to him the prison "rivaled the
purlleus of Wrapping, St. Giles, and
st. James in vice, debauchery. and
drunkenness" The general immoral
ity was so great tha. 1T was only posi-
ble he says, to escape contagiOn by liv-
ing separate. or by consorting only
with the few gentlemen of honor who
might be found there. "Otherwise a
man will quickly sink into dissipation;
he will lose every sense of honor and
dignity, every moral principle and vir-
tuous disposition."-p Mall Maya

Importance OF Druid gerry.

Drudgery is essential in all good
work. Some drudgery must precede
high effort and attainment in any and
every sphere. Mixing colors is the
drudgery in the greatest artists paint
ing. as surely as in that of the young
beginner in his profession. He who is
not willing to do the needful drudgery
in the work he undertakes will never
be a success in any high realm of his
aspirations. No man who is not ready
first to tread the lower rounds of a lad
der can ever hope TO stand by and by
at the tops. S. Times.
