"Of course" remarked the Cuban, who is
in America because he can do more good
here than he can at home, Spain is the
slowest country on earth, and it is her
weight OH poor Cuba that drags her to the
ground all the time. There is a fable that

as follows: Once upon a time, not many
years ago. Adam asked leave to revisit the
earth, teatro de sus giorias fatigas. Hav-
ing obtained it, he went first to Germany.
The sight of the Fatherland, studded with
universities the roads, the canals, the
bridges all astonished our great forefather,
who no longer made out his former land.

He is the bravest man
Who has the faith to feel
That Gods above TO guide
Him on through wee or veal
To him who has no doubt
How can there come a fear?
He plunges in or rushes out,
Believing God is near.
And, though by dangers hedged about,
Pursues his grand career,
For where there iurketh doubt,
There, only, can be fear.
He is the strongest man
Who has the faith sublime
To feel that he is kept
In God S view all the time;
He calmly goes his way.
When once that way is plain,
And keeps ascending day by day
The height he is to gain;
The part that God gave him to play
He plays with might and main,
And never wanders from the way,
Since God has made it plain.
o for the faith that lifts
Men over earth's affairs
The faith that strengthens hearts
And blotS out human caresl
To him who has no doubt
How can there come a fear?
He plunges in or rusheS out,
Believing God Is near,
And though by dangers hedged about,
Pursueth his career,
For where there iurketh doubt,
There, only, can be fear.

Summer Fashions.
New York Post.

New YORK Post.
The patriotic accessories introduced early
in the season have been taken UP with great
enthusiasm not only by the million, but by
the elect four hundred. Old glory effects
are as rampant at the most fashionable
watering places as at Coney island. Soldier
caps are worn by cyclers, yachtsmen, and
golfers; gilded eagle-stamped buttons trim
blouses, jackets, bathing suits, and costumes
of army and navy blue serge. Red, white
and blue hat trimmings universal; the
tri-colors appear on both day and evening
gowns, and even belts, sashes, bows, neck
ties, scarfs, and parasols show the brilliant
national colors. In spite of the fact that all
sorts and conditions of skirt decorations,
draperies, overdr esses. and overskirt effects,
both long and short produced by countless
methods of arranging frills, pipings, rib
bons, gimps, etc, have been developed
there will be a rather general adherence
or return next season to the plain, perfect
ly hung and simply trimmed tailor skirt.
These complicated and fuSSy furbeloWS and
other cut-up decorations are effective and
appropriate on airy summer textiles. As for
cloth, heavy silk, brocade, satin, and all
other Weighty or protective material, the
palmer they are made, the richer and better
they look, and the less garnishing do they
require. All skirts are heightened even for
street wear, and every fashionable gown
at all dressy in style has at least a demi-
train. Most of the long skirts are cut this
year to hang very gracefully. and some of
the newest French models have front and
side breadths long enough to allow of a
very slight drapery on each side Just back

artistic combination. are marked fayorites

Barker of Sagua are also instructed to
report at headquarters. This was con-
strued as indicating the opinion in official
quarters that an early re-opening of the
American consulates in Cuba is not prop
able.
General Lee may be able to add some
knowledge to what is already known re-
garding the plot by which the Maine was
blown up, thought not, perhaps, to the
extent of fixing the conspiracy officially
on tfe Spanish government
After the departure of the Sampson
court Of inquiry it was left to him TO
follow up the clues regarding conspira-
tors. While the board reported its inabil-
ity to fix the responsibility for The eX-
plosion on any person or persons. it was
well understood that the suspicious of
its members were definite Had they re-
ceived assurance that the Spanish author
tiles could be depended on to cooperate
in the investigation valuable information
might have been placed in the h3nds of
the latter. But with Spain stubbornly
holding to the theory OF accident, the only
effect of placing IN their hands evidence
as TO the probable identity of the con-
spiratOrs would have been its destru:-
ton. So, General Lee continued his in
quiries on Independent lines. The result
was to show the fallacy of some of the
clues. but not of all
Perhaps General Lee would not feel
justified in making stronger asse. tions
officially than did the board about the
identity of the conspirators, yet he uncov-
cred enough to satisfy him that single
fanatic could not have fed the mine which
blew UP the Maine in Havana harbor
g,~ al hn
Sobral gave out in Washing too an eli
cial statement that no mines hG1 been
laid in Havana harbor, evidence that this
was a mistake was quickly accumulated
at the consulate, before the board Had
established that fact to its own satisfac
ton. Whether some of the junior officers
whe We're stationed at the arsenal were
directly implicated in the plot may be 4
matter of individual opinion rathec than
Of demonstrated evidence.
On one point information is definite.
General Lee believes the letter of jan
uary last, attributed to General .Veyier,
ing prepared Havana hacoo- so hat
Yankee ships could be destroyed, is gen
uine. Whether he mas seen the original
is not known, but his opinion that such
letter was written by HeYler is clear.
Since the Maine disaster is expected to
be a feature of the general Cuban case
instead of 4 mere incident, the consul
generals presence in Washington may
De useful in supplementing with later &C.
tails the information gathered by the

The Spanish authorities have a suspi-
