It is strange madame, how godly men pointed the finger of condemnation at the stricken poet putting the Christian an having his Passion and the sight of his agonies filled the pietists with rapture. In medieval times. still regretted in some centers of Christian instruction as the true ages of faith, there was a sort of zealots called fiagellants. who used to run madly over Europe, beating themselves and murdering the Jews. How little es- sential change has taken place in the re- ligiouS spirit
 How Heine hated this spirit with a hatred bequeathed to him by generations of his hunted and suffering race, that is to say like a Jew! and he also hated 1t like the true Helene he was; so 1t took what revenge it could upon him. The little German princelings who put up non- conductors on their funny little courts and castles to dodge the lightnings of his wit also furnished some diversion in kind For this man had written:

THOSE WHO HAVE LEFT TAMPA

washington, June Conformation has
reached the war department that two en-
gineers Of the battalion from Wnetts
Point, N. Y, which have been at Tampa,
have left that place for Key West All
their implements. tools and working para
phernalia are at the latter place and the
engineers go TO put them in shape for i'm
mediate use in the Cuban invasion. Other
then this the officials say that up to this
time there have been no departures of
United States troops from Tampa in ad-
dition to those sent to Key West some
time ago. was probable, however,, said
an official today. that tsone of the troops
might go on the transports at Tampa to-
day and proceed to Key West Undoubt
edly the department of the engineers from
Tampa forms the basis Of the statements
made that troops were being sent out on
the invading expedition.

JUST A Reconnaissance

Washington, June 3.-At the navy de-
partment this morning Tuesdays dem
onstration by the squadron at Santiago
was evidently regarded as nothing more
than a reconnaissance. In view Of the
fact that the Spaniards are known to
have made several additions to the forti-
fications since the outbreak of war, it
would be absolutely necessary for naval
commander. before tneering upon naval
engagement, to take steps to learn for
himself and beyond question just what
defenses he must overcome to succeed
in his attack. Otherwise the whole plan
Of the engagement carefully drawn in
advance might be overthrown suddenly
in the midst of the attack by the uneX-
pected fire from some heavy battery
whose whereabouts were unknown to the
attacking force. The naval officers today
were giving out the impression that the
attack on Santiago was to be deferred
until the troops should arrive from Flor
ida, in which case nothing could be eX-
pected in the way of an engag cement for
some days to come for it was stated at
the war department today that no troops
had yet boarded the transports and sew
eral days would be required TO make the
passage from Tampa to Santiago.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Washington, June S.-President Nc
Kinley found a host Of visitors from the
two houses of congress when he took up
the work of the day. He was a little late
in reaching his office and the crush OF
callers was so great that many Of them
like Senator Pritchard and Representa-
tive Linney of North Carolina and Repre-
sentatives Grout and Powers of Vermont,
found it impossible TO wait 70 see him per-
sonally.
Senator Allison of Iowa, chairman of
the appropriation committe and Senator
Platt of New York, had talk with him,
the latter discussing some appointments.
Senator Bate and Representatives McMil-
Ian and Moon of Tennessee. with Cover
nor Taylor of Tennessee, had a confer
ence with the president regarding the ad-
ditional Tennessee troops. The delega-
ton preferred a request that the add
tional allitment of two regiments from
Tennessee under the second call for volun-
teers, should be over and above the num-
Der that will be required to I'LL up the
old regiments under the first call. The
president said il would be necessary for
Tennessee to make up the deficiency in
numbers of the old regiments, but led the
delegation TO believ that that accomp-
lishd. they might still get two full regi-
ments outside of those thus required for
making the full quota for the old organi-
cations.
Senator Fairbanks and Representatives
Lands and Hoenway of Indiana, accom-
panied by Colonel Wingate of Crawfords-
Vile. Ind. and Ross Hawkins of Indiana
polls. formally urged on the president the
apppiontment of General Lew Wallace as
a major general of volunteers. President
Mckinley told them ne had General Wal
lace's name under consideration for
major generalship and might yet appoint
him but did not commit himself.
Mrs. Mckinley took advantage OF
beautiful spring day while the throngs OF
statesmen were arriving, TO go out on her
morning drive. For the first time in
long period she went out unaccompanied
by her young lady friends, maid alone
joining her.
The numerous visitors who made inquir-
les Of the president as TO the war s!tua-
ton were again disappointed this after
noon a tine lack Of advice from the front.
For TWO hours during the morning, up 10
II O'Clock. when the converting Of the cab
net precluded further personal interviews,
there was continual stream OF callers at
he White House Almost all q them
sought war appointments for friends or
constituents

in ne army TO 80 with tse Pennsylvania
troops. was with the president for little
while. He vii be assigned 70 duty (
and eventually expects that
he will be ordered t. join the forces OF

HOW CENVERA MIGHT WORK IT

Washington, June 3.-The attention Of
naval officers has been attracted to the
position in the harbor occupied by the
Spanish flagship Cristobal Colon and the
Reina Mercedes. Lying in the narrowest
part of the channel, the ships, when in
danger of capture. might be scuttled and
thus absolutely prevent the entrance of
the American ships. While this would
also prevent the egress of the Spanish
vessels, it would tend to make the reduc-
ton of Santiago an extremely difficult
task and one requiring a long time, for the
Spanish ironclads lying in the harbor
could be counted upon to easily repel any
atteck coming from the Landslide until
such time as the troops managed to secure
the SunnOrt of heavy artillery

Massachusetts and the Pinch guns of
the Iowa were ordered to open on the
CristobaI Colon, which was about 1000 to

fire.
