Down evening skies the shadows steal
And hope dies in the heart,
But starry depths of night reveal
What day could not impart.
The rifted shivering flowers lie low
Meath winters chill and rain,
Like buried loved ones-ah, we know
All these shall live again.
As sunshine turns to jewels bright
The dew tears night has shed,
LIES stony path in loves sweet light
Can seem with roses spread.
What matter II the skies are dark
IfheartS be true and warm?
If love but guide the tossing bark.
What care we for the storm.

following letter from Admiral Dewey:
Flagship Olympia off Cavite,
Philippine Islands, June H.
My Dear S1r:-I have just learned from
the last papers that am indebted to you
for the Introduction in the House OF
Representatives of the resolutions ex-
tending to me the thanks of Congress for
the naval engagement of Manila Bay,
May 1.
I need hardly tell you that am most
sincerely grateful to you as the author OF
that resolution. bringing as 1t does, the
highest honor that can come to an Amerl
can naval officer in his professional
career. But it is great pleasure to
acknowledge my debt of gratitude and to
thank you in unstinted measure FOR the
part you took in obtaining for me that
greatest distinction.
!. ....It is source Of additional pleasure to
me. Vermonter, that the mover OF the
resolution was not a man from the
North, but one from the far South. This
issone of the good signs of the times. In
the hour of danger there is no South, no
North, but one united country. May we
never hear of sectionalism again. There
are no lines drawn in the navy. I need
not say that 1t may interest you to know
that my flag lieutenant, Lieutenant
Brumby, is Georgian by birth and ap-
pointment. Again thanking you most
cordially. / remain,
Very gratefully and sincerely,
GEORGE DEWEY,

remains intact but sheslnay be ordered to

least a ton of mail at the post office to be

thought that the fifth illinois regiment
will not embark / for Porto Rico. though
Col Culver is awaiting orders to return
to the transport and his holding his men
in readiness. One OF the causes assigned
for the delay is the strike Of the Obdan's
engineers for their pay. The engineers are
mostly foreingers and are not Eenlisted

were sent to the Virginia Capes today to
signal the transport Alamo with General
Fred d. Grant and six companies of the

UNcAs AT KEYlWEsT.
Returns After a Fortnight of Blockade
Duty on North Cuban Coast.

Key West, IL 40 p M, August 10.-The
tug Uncas, commanded by Lieut.. F. R.
Brainaril, returned here this morning af-
ter another exciting fortnight Of blockade
duty on the North Cuban coast. The
Uncas, which has been Jocularly dubbed
"the flagship of the mosquito feet, !"
holds the record Of the three smaller boats
for continuous blockade service and in
teresting experiences. She carries Cuban
expeditions and lands them almost under
the enemy's gun; she chases almost any
thing from a raft to battleship, and oc-
cuuies spare moments by knocking over
Spanish blockhouses and capturing prizes.
On this, her latest trip, the Uncas put
ashore another expedition for domez and
lust above the magazines. In spite OF all
this,she Iookedlnone the worss when she
steamed Into Key West harbor today for
coal and provisions.
When the Uncas left here two weeks ago
she carried Capt Stable of Gomez's staff,
with six other Cubans and 800 Relning-
ton carbines, and ammunition for the in
morning an overturned cook stove ID the
forecastle, started fire. The Uncas was
then only two or three miles off Havana,
and the flames ragged fercely for Q fsw
moments, Those on board the Uncas
could see troops Of Spaniards about the
guns on shore, but no deadly messengers
came their way and after the IRE had
been extingulshed by chopping away
the woodwork, the boat proceeded to Cay
Conftes. near Caibarien, where she put
her Cuban party ashore without encoun'
tering Spaniard.
Then the Uncas steamed towards Ma
tanzas and on her way there while near
Cardenas, a torpedo boat was signted,
close to the shore, sending up rockets.
The natural supposition was that she
was Spanish vessel attempting to ON.
municate with the shore and the UncaS
promptly headed In her direction. AS
she drew near the torpedo boat turned
and came out to meet her. she was then
recognized as the Talbot.
i. 1t was while lying off Matanzas few
days ago that the Uncas was fired upon.
She was within two miles OF the shore
when, without any warning whatever, a
sand battery of six or eight-1ne,hf guns ~ ! ;
began firing shells at her. Fully ~ or
these wicked missiles fell around the tug,
within radius of hundred yards be-
fore she could get out of range.
As she steamed away the Uncas re-
turned the fire with her three forward
and after ix-pounders. Then occurred
a little incident illustrating the superstlt-
ions of seamen. The last she'll from the
Uncas's stern gun had just screamed It's
way across the waters when gaudy-
winged butterfly, which had blown oft the
shore, lowered over the still smoking gun
and settled down on its muzzle. A horny
listed Irishman. who manned tde gun,
saw it, thrsw up his hands and shouted to
Lieut.. Brainerd: ssSay, captain, that
settles IL. That's the last shot We'll fire
in this war;"
And there is not man on the tug who
is not thoroughly convinced that the but
terfy's visit was sure forerunner OF
peace.

Washington, August 10.--The prelim1-
nary negotiations looking toward the
confirmation of peace advanced long
stride today when the Secretary Of State
and the French ambassador agreed upon
the terms upon which future negoti-
ations for treaty are, to be concluded
and reduced to the form of protocol.
This protocol, it is true, Is yet to be
signed and is to be submitted to the
Spanish government before the formal
signatures are affixed, but the admins

day was set out in Secretary Days sent.

ing with tho Spanish government that it
may recede at the last moment from an
implied agreement, but it is scarcely
probable that it would be willing to in

culties that would follow what to the
world would seem to be u repudiation OF
his benevolent efforts in behalf of Spain.
There must be a delay possibly from

be taken and the protocol made binding
upon both the United States and Spain
by the attachment of the sign atures OF
the plenipotentiaries. Secretary Day for
the United States and NJ. Cambon for

butable to physical causes, The protocol
is long; it must be translated and turned
back andsforth into code and simple lang
mage no less than five times before it
reaches Madrid through the French for
eien officers. This work was not begun
until late this afternoon, after the best
energies of Assistant Secretary Adee
of the state department and NJ. Thibeaut,
secretary Of the French embassy, had been
exerted in the preparation in formal
shape of two copies Of the protocol, one
in English and one in French. These
were prepared very carefully. the idiomatic
variance in the two languages necessitat-
| ing the greatest caution in order that the
essential character Of the two copies
should be preserved. The length of the
protocol imposed great amount of labor
upon the cipher clerks, or whoever is
charged with the work of rendering the
original into cipher, SO that altogether it
is apparent that the consumption of time
involved in purely mechanical functions
will be so considerable as to mako the
rendition of a very early answer improb-
able.

can be stated on authority that the terms
are in all practical points those set out
in the abstract OF thte Presidents con-
ditions. published from the White House
week ago. From this fact it is deduced
that the extra conditions or qualitica
tfons sought to be imposed by the Span
ish government were abandoned, at least
in a large part, by the French ambassa-
dor. This deduction is supported by the
circumstances that In the early morning
and before the conference between Secre-
tary Day and NJ. Cambon which resulted
in the agreement, there was prevalent
ir.1llession based upon the utterancss of
public men who had talked with the
President that the Spanish answer WAS
unsatisfactory and that the negotiations
looked as If they might terminate sud-
denHr AS this situation changed SO
suddenly after the conference, it may be
fairly assumed that the ambassador aban-
doned the conditions which the Presi-
dent was reputed to have regarded as un-
satisfactory. 1t is believed that the pro-
tocol carries with itself provisions for the
cessation of hostllities. On this point
the naval contingent is urgent that our
government adopt the Napoleonic policy
of refusing to enter into an armistice
without acquiring some substantial
pledge to secure the consummation of
peace.
What they particularly desire is that
our government shall demand as con-
dition of the cessation of hostilities, the
surrender to the United States military
forces of Morro castle at the entrance of
vantage at ths other important ports in
the territory soon to fall under our con.
troll.
The peace negotiations are now be-
lieved to be advanced to point where
the President has felt warranted in
turning his attention to the selection of
the commissioners to be charged by the
United States with the drafting of
treaty of peace. So far as can be gathered,
but one name has been positively deter
mined upon, namely that of Secretary
Day, who will head the commission. Be-
yond that point, there is no certainty al
though some prominent names have
been brought forward. Mr.. Woodford,
our last minister to Spain, has been men
toned, though, as he is credited with en-
tertaining a desire to return to Madrid,
