Literary Notes.

In the American Monthly Review of
Reviews for December the editor reviews
the November elections, the progress Of
our peace negotiations with Spain, and
other matters OF national and interna-
tional moment. Some very suggestive
and interesting cartoons from recent
issues of the Spanish journals are repro
duced.
Last year Charles Dana Gibson illus
trated "The People of Dickens" for The
Ladies Home Journal. The pictures were
so successful that this year, and during
next year, w. l.. Taylor, the New Eng
land artist, who has made such rapid
strides in his art, will illustrate "The

George KEENAN,, the distinguished
Siberian traveller and lecturer, has been
the special Commissioner of The Outlook
during the war with Spain, and was the
first newspaper representative to enter the

His "Story of the War" has attracted
national attention. He is now recuper-
ating from an attack OF fever which pros
trated him in Santiago, and early in
November he will undertake thorough
study of the people and the conditions in

readers of The Outlook exact information
and picturesque description of what

LONDON, April 30.-At the Royal Academy banquet tonight there pres ent the Prince of Wales. the Duke of Christian. Prince Edward of Sake Wei mar, Prince Christian Victor, Joseph Chamberlain, Colonel John Hay, the diplomatic corps, with the exception of the Spanish Ambassador, and many other leading men. The Duke of Dev- onshire, in the course of an address, sadd:
 At present we are spectators of the war between one of the proudest and most powerful nations of Europe, and the youngest and most powerful com munity of America, in the foundation of which Great Britain has taken so large a share, and in whose fortunes she has taken so much interest"
 The Duke of DevonShire said he be- lieved that both belligerents admitted that Great Britain had no right or in- terests which prescribed any other course than one of strictest neutrality, and while he admitted that mot even the dictates of humanity warrant &C., ton on our part that could be construed as uncalled for in- reference in a quarrel which Is not ours," he felt sure that the country would join in the wish that if oppor- tunity ever offered itself the good of- fees of Great Britain. if asked for, should serve to bring to a speedy and honorable conclusion a war which, however inevitable it might have been, was attended by conditions more than usually pathetic. The address was re- ceived with applause.

 The small Spanish fishing smack Lolo. loaded with fish, intended for Ha- vana, was caught off the Cuban coast by the Dolphin. In the hands of Lieu tenant-Commander Lyons, the Dolphin has become quite formidable. There are scoffers on the flagship, who say to-day that when the Dolphin put a prize crew of four aboard the redolent Lolo and rounded her up last evening close by Admiral Simpsons splendid vessel, the prize crew made the mis- take of coming up to the New York were heard from the New York's gold laced officers as they sniffed the aroma or the Lolo's cargo, and Captain Chad wick Is said to have signalled the prize crew to take their charge to the lee ward immediately under penalty of court-martial.
 Be this as it may, the admiral ruled again to-day, as he did in the case of the Ericsson's fishing smack prize, that fishermen are exempt from seizure un- der the law of blockade, and promptly ordered the release of the vessel. But an unexpected complication ensued. The captain of the Lolo protested in vigorous Spanish that he did not want to be released. His greatest aim in life had just been achieved when he succeeded in forcing the Dolphin to seize him. He begged that he should not be set free. and said the worst fate Americans were likely to visit upon him would be preferable to being per mitted to run his cargo into Havana, where General Blanco would surely inn press him into the Spanish service.

 The Spaniard whom the police sus- pect of having caused the explosion, either with the deliberate purpose of blowing up the torpedo-b boats or setting fire to the building, or thinking to ter rify the contractor had been sinking about the place all day. He visited the saloon on the corner, where he ques- tioned the workmen during the noon hour, being very careful to inquire of NightWatchman Poehler how many men were on watch and at work at night
 His actions finally became so sus- picious that the police were notified. and a patrolman was sent over to in- vestigate. He returned with the re- port that the man was all right. and nothing further was thought of the matter until the explosion occurred

NlPPING THE PLOTS
 OF THE SPANIARDS.
Vice-consul Bruga of Tampa Is Up to Mischief and Will Soon
 Be Arrested.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, April 30.-A special to the Times Union and Citizen from Tampa, Fla, says: Chief of Po- lice Burke of the Tampa force and Gen eral Wade held lengthy consultation a few evenings ago, the subject of which has just come to light.
 Spanish Consul Soils left about three days ago and Vice-Consul Bruga left about two days later. The vice-consul said that he was going to Jamaica by way of New York and on the evening prior to departure he was given a fare well party by his Spanish friends.
 A few evenings ago Spanish woman told two of her American girl friends that something would happen soon. Her significant remark in connection with the many rumors of Spanish plots in circulation aroused suspicion. On Thursday night, as Chief Burke was returning from Ybor City, he was sur prised to see Bruga, who he supposed was on his way to Jamaica, at the Spanish woman's house.
 Major Connolly of the Florida State troops has also been informed by a Cuban resident that Bruga is in town. It is also reported that the Spaniard has been seen at night disguised A Spanish boarding house and another house owned by Soils, where Bruga is supposed to visit, are being watched by the police tonight. and if Bruga is seen he will be arrested.
 Another plot is in course of develop ment that will be nipped. It is to the effect that there is a soldier here with the regulars who speaks Spanish whose term will soon expire. It is asserted that he had been approached and urged to re-enlist with the intimation that he might make $250 month

While nothing could be learned of the perpetrator, a Spaniard or Mexican who was seen hanging about the place all day and who had been several times ordered away is suspected by the police.

PAPERS HAVE
 CHANGED TUNE The German Press Called Down Very Hard by
 the Government. Take Their Lesson and Now Praise the Stand Taken by
 the United States.
Of Course This Change Is Due to the Former Unfriendly Attitude
 Shown by France.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BERLIN, April 30.-Public attention Is so engrossed with the Hispano- Am erican struggle that the re-convening Of the Reichstag and Prussian Diet have been almost unnoticed. The news papers print entire pages of war news from all parts, mostly unreliable, and much of it is unfavorable to the United States. Extras are repeatedly issued alleging great naval disasters to the Americans. One of the worst offenders announced on Wednesday evening last that four American warships had been blown up (giving among the victims a fictitious ironclad off Buenos Ayres. As whole, however. the German press has ceased it's hostile tone toward the United States For this change the Gov ernment is entirely responsible, as all the newspapers which are in the habit of obtaining information from the For eign Office, which includes all news papers of importance in the empire, were this week given a hint to stop their abuse of the United States as be- ing directly opposed to the Govern ment's attitude, besides being unpa- triotic and politically unWiSe. The hint was effective, and not a line directly AiOotl4C lO <AIllCllCd 1lco SlHCS UStH pIlLl- ed in any paper. Several newspapers, notably the Frankfort Zeitung, have adopted distinctly friendly tone re- specting the war.
 The fact that Paris, Rome and Por- tuguese newspapers, which are even more unfriendly to the United States than the German newspapers were, all point out that the war is a conflict of the Latins against the Anglo-Saxons, also has had some effect in bringing about the quick change in Germany, and some of the formerly most hostile Ger man newspapers are now emphasizing the view that the interests of Germany are entirely on the side of America. For instance, the Berlin Post, which en- joys close relations with Prince Ho- henlohe, the Imperial Chancellor, and which hitherto has roundly abused the United States as "rapacious" and ''pharisaical," now quotes utterances of French newspapers and deduces there from that it must be clearly to Ger many's interests to side with the ene- mics of France.
 Among a mass of articles dealing with the war the KreuZ Zeitung, favorite army paper, publishes an article con- tributed by Major Scheibert, who, Judging from personal experiences dur ing the Civil War in the United States, says: "The Americans. doubtless. will incur serious reverses at the com mencement of hostilities, and unless their navy is strong enough to force a great battle and demolish the naval resources of Spain, which think very
