But tor the floating half and half, "low- lived, lazy, good-for-nothing trash" Mike had no use. So he turned fiercely upon the luckless Pete with flourish of his duster that was like menace.

It's meselt as will not lave as much of ye as g dish cloth" Suiting the action to the word, he twisted his long fingers in Petes woolly pate and seemed about to hurl him into "kiDgdom come."
 "What is all this about?" It was the doctor who interrupted those diversions.

 Fails fast about his head. Could he but hear some lowing of the herd Some mountain bell ring clear, If some familiar sound one moment stirred
 To guide him lost in fear! He dares not move.-some beckoning leading
 word
 Alas! could he but hearl In those waste places Of the earth and dim No star shines forth at all,- Through awful loneliness enshrouding him He glves one shuddering call, While horror of great darkness seems to swim And fold him in its pail.

Mr.. CULLOM CRep.. I'D delivered carefully pre-
pared speech covering the general Cuban question
After directing attention 10 his own record In the
Senate on the Cuban matter. Mr.. Culom declared
that the hour for action by this country was about
70 strike. Step by step Spain had been pushed back
from the Western Hemisphere. and now she was
about TO lose another and the chief gem OF her colo
NAL possessions. II Spain should be permitted TO
pursue her course in Cuba she would go on without
remorse and II possible destroy the patriots to the

Washington, April 15.-In view of conflicting
reports high foreign authority. speaking with
authentic information on the matter, has made
the following semi-oflcial statement Of the
Spanish decision to the surrender OF Cuba:
once and for all let IL be understood that the
erroneous impressions as 10 SPANS relinquish-
n1ent Of the island OF Cuba are false and are
calculated 10 inspire false hopes and embarrass
intelligent action The Government Of Spain
has never entertained the thought. and never
will entertain il. of evacuatng Cuba. AT no
time has there been a consideration of any step

West Indian colonies The honor and dignity OF
Spain revolt at the suggestion ~ the indepen-
dence Of Cuba. which would alike reduce that
island 10 the misery OF irresponsible rule and
at the same time terminate n Spanish authority
irreparably bound up with the prosperity Of the
island.
For this and other reasons the reports that
Spain Is slowly yielding 70 a retirement from
Cuba are both mischievous and groundless No
rulers, no statesmen. no Cortes Of Spain would
ever consider such a humiliation. But. In the
face Of IT, Spain, always desirous Of peace and
ready by every honorable means to secure peace.
will stand resolutely in defence OF her inalien-
able right her Sovereignty and her honor. And
she feels confident she has with her the moral

NO VETO CONTEMPLATED.
MKINLEY LIKELY TO APPROVE WHAT
EVER CONGRESS DOES
AT THE SAME TINE. NO RECOGNITION OF THE
INsuRGENT GOVERNMENT is EXPECTED
REPORT OF YESTERDAYS CABr-


NET MEETING.
Washington. April 15.-The Cabinet meeting
to-day was devoted to a general discussion or
the Cuban situation. The Government has
received no intimaton OF the preparation OF
any note the part of the Powers. and
members OF the Cabinet do not think the effort
obviously being made by Spain to concentrate
the Powers In her favor will result In their
agreeing on any particular line of action.
The present attitude Of the Administration is
that Of awaiting Congressional action without
attempting TO influence 1t or postpone its de-
csion. The President. 1t be stated. Is not
at all likely to veto any resolution that Con-
gress may adopt the Cuban question. The
Administration does not believe Congress will
pass resolution for the recognition Of the in
surgent Government. The Cabinet has not dis
cussed the course to be pursued in the event OF
a Congressional declaration for the recognition
OF the Masso Government
Considerable Of the time OF the meeting
devoted to a discussion Of details of the work
the Army and Navy would be called 10 per-
form in case of war. 1t was said by one Cabi-
net member that the militia OF the several
States were not likely to be called upon for
concentration at a given place unless war should
actually come. The President is waiting ear
nestly for some action by Congress so as to de-
termne just what to do
There was some talk also at the meeting con-
cerning the emergency furd of $4,000 OOO
which has been very largely drawn upon but it
is said there probably will OF be call for more
money unless war is assured.
