omc1ai Account of the Death of
Aranguren.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Senor Du-
puy de LONE, the Spanish minister. to-
day received the following cablegram:
The correspondents Of certain papers are all
ready starting series OF horrors in connec-
ton with the killing OF Nestor Aranguren
Not one Of them has been out OF Havana
and all they will say has been manufactured
by the rebel agents. The facts are as follows:
combination Of columns that had been
operating several days defeated or the 27th

captured one prisoHer, who had a small force
as a guide, and the rest OF the troops COW

The escort escaped, and with it the mistress
of Aranguren.
In the place was found a woman wounded
who was not seen until after the engagement
in order TO try to save her oy giving proper
attendance.
As proof OF the falsehoed Of the reports
about to be circulated there is the fact that
five eFisoners have been captured and that
none OF the dead had a single saber or ma

body of Aranguren prove that he was Ruiz q

Prof. Won Hoist, of Chicago, Dis
cuSses the Hawaiian Question With
out Regard to Jingoism.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-At the annual
banquet of the Commercial club, which
was held tonight at the Auditorium,
Prof. Won Hoist, of Chicago university,
delivered the principal address of the
evening, his subject being "Annexa-
ton of Hawaii" His remarks, which
were greeted with every manifestation
of approval, were as follows:
The more rabid annexationists take their
stand upon the notion, denounced nearly
century ago by Fisher Ames that in our
country popularity lis the test of right and
wrong That the people want stion,
as they allege, settles with them the ques-
ton. Were the constitution, which saved the
nations life, and Jays treaty, which saved
the republic from being drawn into the vortex
of the revolutionary connections OF Europe,
popular2 The men who dared to take issue
second thought have earned the peoples
eternal gratitude by doing So That maxim
is thoroughly un-American, not contending
for the democratic principle, but laying the
ak to the root of rational democracy, which
is discussion. The more the people want
annexation the more it is the duty of those
who deem it injurious to speak out. For, ex
cept the Declaration of Independence, the
adoption of the constitution and the slavery
issue with its offspring, secession. no more
portentous problem has ever confronted the
nation That the dangers with which the
measure Is fraught do not lie plainly on the
surface renders them only the greater. Slow
ly working polsons are what nations have to
dread the most
But do the people really want annexation?
Thus far there is authentic expression
of their will. They let it go by default. They
are either quite Indifferent or not interested
enough to form opinion OF their own,
taking it for granted that the annexation fire
is merely a lusty bonfire from which no
harm can come. The senate, by discussing the
treaty with closed doors does it's best to
keep them in this frame OF mind
As to the military side Of the question,

see that even a successful war would be to
them absolutely barren Of advantages. That
we might nevertheless be involved in war
is, however, only too true. Would We then
be the stronger for having possession Of
Hawaii? BY no means, though it may ap-
pear so at first sight. Capt. NahaR, our
leading naval authority, has exploded the naive
notion that islands confer by themselves con-
troll over a body of water. To be OF military
value we must have an adequate navy, and
TO be adequate our navy would have TO be
much larger when Hawaii is ours; for il
would have to protect not only our coasts
and our shipping, but also Hawaii, which
would surely be a principal object of at
tack in a war with a frst-class naval power.
Now we are practically invulnerabIe. Is it ra-
ton to acquire without any need spot at
which enemy can hit US infinitely harder
than anywhere else? We would annex not a
source of strength, but Of weakness. And it
would be a step that could not be retraced.
To make the best of bad job would be all
that was left to US.
That we act under compulsion, because
some other poTer-probably either England
or Japan-would take the Islands, II We re-
fused the gift, Is an assertion which is not
and cannot be substantiated-as it has never
before been substantiated though the cry has
been raised every time were after some
territory. We can at least afford to think
high enough Of our power, well as our
dignity, not to let the cry England have
the effect upon US that the red cloth has
upon the bull. Ever since 1875 the declara-
ton OF the United States that they will not
allow" or permit certain territories to be
taken by any other power has proved a suffi-
cient curb upon the covetousness Of the lead
ing states OF Europe Does it, then, permit
OF any doubt that their peremptory hands
Off, would now be respected?
An even graver consideration than those
mentioned thus far is that the annexation of
Hawaii would not mean the annexing merely
of Hawaii We would annex temptation and
it Is because OF this that annexation is so
enthusiastically urged upon us-the tempta-
ton TO annex other outlying territories and

After Weeks of Tension the
British Foreign Office Again
Breathes Freely.

LONDON, Jan. 2s.-After an un-
usually prolonged period Of extreme
tension, all signs point to an early i'm
provement, II not complete solution
of the various international political
problems agitating the nerves Of Great
Britain. The foreign and colonial Of
fees are beginning to see daylight
through the darkness which has long
been enveloping the far East, West
Africa, the upper Nile and India, and.
unless signs fail and information from
the best informed circles is faulty, the
Marquis of Salisbury and Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary OF state for the
colonies, will divide the honors. and
Great Britain will secure about all she
asks.
So far as China is concerned, this
view, in connection with the speech
Of Mr.. Curzon, the parliamentary sec
retary for the foreign Office, at Bolton
on Tuesday and the reported accept
ance of the British loan, is generally
regarded as correct. Mr.. Curzon fore
shadowed the probable success OF the
loan negotiations, the achievement OF
Great Britain's purpose in keeping the
ports free to the whole world and the
maintenance of treaty rights whereby
spheres OF influence are rendered i'm
possible" The Russian proposal of a
loan on the same terms as Great Brit
ain was not taken seriously. 1t is un-
derstood that the czar has not the
money without drawing upon war re-
serve funds.

ton to burn her fingers in a game in

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-No official
advices have been received here as vet
to confirm the reported intention OF the
Spanish government TO send a fleet Of
Spanish warships TO Havana. The
Spanish legation was informed some
time ago that the small gunboats now
engaged in patrolling the Cuban coast
would be strengthened soon by the ad-
dttton Of a number Of torpedo boats,
and it is this fotilla that is expected TO
sail for Havana as soon as conditions
permit The boats are said to be want
ed particularly for service on the Cauto
river and in Havana harbor The COM
ing Of the cruiser Cristobal Colon with
the torpedo boats is said TO be neces-
sary to their safety, as these little
craft must have a convoy TO come 10

and to help out their coal supply Even
with this assistance 1t is said the boats
will have risky voyage.

child were passed in peace and perfect
bliss.
But one dreadful day the Old Witch.
who had caused the Ogres to be pred,
came to the palace and stood, un1n-
vited, before the Prince and Princess
and demanded of them that she should
give her their little child.
"My Ogres are hungry, said the
Witch. ''They really want many more
children; but they have told me to say
that they will be satisfied for the pres
ent if you will give me your little
daughter If you refuse l will take
away every other child in your king
dom this very night. Choose what you
will do"
Saying this the Witch disappeared in
a cloud of smoke, and did not reappear
until the sun was about to set All
the day the Prince and Princess had
been counseling with their wise men.
None could advise them except Hop
o'-My-Thumb
THE little daughter of the Prince
must CO." boldly declared Hoppe My
Thumb. 1T is better that she should
die than that all the children of the
kingdom should perish
He was interrupted by the heart
breaking cries of the Princess, who
could not consent to the death of her
only child. her little darling. But the
Prince was as good as he was brave,
and his sense of duty was superior to
his selfshness.
TT must be as Hoppe My-Thumb

says" he finally ruled land I pray
that with this dreadful loss the Witch
and the Ogres may be appeased and
naced"
There was no disputing the royal
edict The Princess threw her fond
arms around her little daughter, nor
would she release her hold until the
Witch came to claim her weeping prey
for the Ogres Then the Princess was
brave and restrained her tears that the
Prince might not find the parting with
their child harder than he could bear.
The child was carried away amid the
lamentations of the entire kingdom.
Only the brave and just Prince and
Princess were calm when the awful
separation was actually brought about.
The Prince was now addressed by
Hop o. My-Thumb.
1--WE could not combat the Witch
when she was here" he said, but we
shall not be helpless to fight against
the army of Ogres if only there are
among us fifty knights brave enough to
follow me. It has been told me by a
good fairy that when you unselfishly
gave up your child for the good of your
people, o ILustrious and virtuous
Prince, that the reign of the Witch was
ended forever. We -eed dread her no
more after she has crossed a stream of
running water that lies between us and
the Iron Forest
But what do you propose to do with
fifty knights?" interrupted the Prince

They were all standing on top OF their
desks, except the boys, who were chas-
ing imaginary mice about the room.
One of them opened the door and said
that the mouse ran out. Order was
soon restored, but occasionally some
one would cry, There he goes!" and
instantly every girl and even the
seats
AT last, at a quarter to II, the chill
dren got their hats and lunch baskets
(for they could do as they pleased dur
ing the last quarter of an hour, and
began talking about that mouse.
Lizzie Young, being one of the oldest,
was right in the midst of the girls, and
suddenly she dropped her lunch basket.
The mouse ran out and cries of II got
himi" There he goeS!" and There he
isn'ti" went UP from the boys, and the
near by. In the midst of the confu-
sion the bell rang for IL o'clock.
The doors of the next room were
thrown open and the mouse seeing
chance of escape rushed in and instant
ly there was a scramble for the tops
of the desks The teacher ran out of
the door and shut it. The mouse ran
about for a while, creating the usual
confusion, and at last went through a.
knothole under the house.
The teachers met and told the chill
dren that there would be no more
school that afternoon, as the mouse had
scared them so that they could not be
quiet at their lessons. The real cause
of the dismissal was that the teachers
themselves were afraid of the mouse.

sake OF their beloved Prince and Prin-
cess and for the general welfare At
last the Prince consented and named
Hope -My-Thumb as the leader of the
expedition. Little Hop-o' My-Thumb
was overcome with gratitude at this
mark of favor and confidence and
seized the Princes right hand and i'm
printed up = it a fervent kiss. No time
was wasted in starting for the Iron
Forest Hop-o'-My- Thumb led the way
with sword in hand
Hardly had the knights crossed the
bridge over the running stream of
water which margined the forest when
1t fell, sinkin. with a horrible crash.
Now the knights were in dense dark
ness and could no longer go on until
Hope -My-Thumb, availing himself of
a secret which he had been taught by
good fairy, struck boldly upon one of
the trees of iron with his sword and
said in a loud voice:
"A curse be ever upon you if you fail
me now"
These were the words employed by
the Witch when she turned the trees to
iron and they had the same power now
over the iron forest as they had when
they were uttered by the Witch. For
the tree sent out a shower of sparks
and swayed against its neighbor. which
in turn when it was struck, flashed
fire. Soon thousands of trees were
thrashing against each other and emit
ting sparks-so that the knights had
an awful but sufficient light to see the
Ogres The sound of the trees which,
once in motion, could not stop, was as
If a legion of giants were beating upon
shields necessarily with great battle
axes. Notwithstanding this, by magic
the knights were able to hear the voice
of Hoppe My-Thumb as he gave or
ders.
The Ogres we're the strangest and
most terrible army that has ever been
seen on earth. They were scores and
scores and each was many feet high.
They had only one eye each, and that
exactly in the middle of the forehead,
like the Cyclops of whom you have
read. Their legs and arms were as
thick thro,- n as trunks Of stout trees.
