Paloma Schramm.

Paloma Schramm was born In San
Francisco. When she was year old her
parents moved to Los Angeles, where
they purchased an old Mexican adobe,
pcturesquelY situated. Iu furnish
ing aud arranging the home, nothing
modern was allowed TO mar the antique
and romantic aspect Of the surround
ings. Here away from.the busy world,
away from the turmoil aud strife of
the great cities, among flowers, aud
the trees whose branches culver meath
the weight of thousands of singing
birds, close to the heart of Nature and
closer to Natures God, was born and
nourished the genius that lives 10 the
person of Paloma. Here was revealed
the soul of music that now speaks to us
as great lessons have often times be-
fore been taught to mankind-through
the medium OF little child. The
great event of her life took place when
she was four She was taken TO see
'Lohengrin,n She stood during the
entire performance, leaning forward
lost In ecstatic wonderment. The next
day she hummed many of the most
beautiful master melodies. 1t was
nearly year before Paloma's wish for
a piano could be gratitied. Her father
began to give her some instruction,
but in six months she had mastered
what 1t had taken him as many years
to learn, She made her first appear
ance In Los Angeles, when see was Ave
years old. The concert was for benz
eat or her parents would not have
allowed her 10 appear at so early an
age. When seven years old she began
TO study under Herr Thilo Becker, late
OF Leipzig, a musician OF note A year

| A dispatch from New York dat
ed June says "El Progreso,
newspaper published in Havana. o
copy of which has been received
here, in an editorial published
May %, contains tho following
summary of the situation from the
view Of the Spanish press:
"a month has gone by since the
cowardly Yankees proclaimed war
against Spain. They then declar'
ed they would annihilate us; that
they would come and take Havana
and level our forts to the ground.
We now see that it was but q cow
srdly boast, for not one dastardly
Yankee has set his foot ON Cuban
soil.
Wherever the steps of the enemy
have approached our shores they
have been driven back with disas-
trous loss and their attempts to
destroy our forts have resulted
instead in the destruction of their
ships. Our brave soldiers have
poured shot and shell into the en-
emy and nobly stood by their
guns and upon every occasion
achieved a gallant victory.
We have heard reports of the
enormous army which was to in
wade our island and conquer our
army. What has become of it?
They do not dare to come and
meet the brave Spaniards knowing
full we'll that death will be certain
to await them. They tried to-
starve rs, but on the contrary they
are starving themselves, for bread
and meat arc higher in New York
than they are in Havana. We
have plenty to eat while the
Yankees have been compelled to
open free soap houses in all the big
cities to feed their hungry and the
people die of starvation. No dog
even goes without good food in
this capital, but dogs are better
than the dirty Yankees. Beef
costs 80 cents in New York and a
loaf of bread % cents. How long
can the shop keeping Yankees who
think of nothing but dollars, stand
that?
They are already sorry they
have begun war with Spain, but
we will give them cause for great
er regret. 1t will not be long be-
fore our victorious army will cross
into their territory and do to

ANaL0-AMERICAH ALLIANCE.

A London cablegram says: "The
Washington correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says have just
learned from high authority in
the state department that impor-
tsnt preliminary steps toward an
Anglo-American alliance have al.
ready been taken. How far these
negotiations, if they can yet be
called that, have proceeded it is
not easy to ascertain, for not only
the strictest secrecy is maintained,
but my information is that the
preliminary suggestions have been
made and that the subject of such
an alliance is practically before the
two governments in some shape.
"The recent visits of Sir Julian
Paunceforte to the state depart
ment have not it seems, had re-
ference to the Canadian negotia.
tions. According to my authority
the future of the proposed alliance
now being considered are these:
"Great Britain is to recognize
the Monroe doctrine, to attempt
no increase of her territorial pos.
sions in the western hemisphere
and to indorse the American con-
struction of that doctrine.
"The United States is to build
the Nicaragua canal and Great
Britain is to have the use of 1t in
time of war.
"rhe United States is 10 have all
Of the territory taken from SPAN
In the present war and Great Brit.
ain is to protect the United States
in the possession of this should it
be threatened.
"The United States is to stand
by Great Britain in her policy in
China and the east and all the
British ports are to be opened to
the United States under the most
favored nation clause.
"The main features of an arbi-
tration treaty are to be ineorpora-
ted. 1t has been provided that all
matters in dispute, not involving
the Monroe doctrine or the Nicar.
aguau canal, are to be submitted
to a non-partIsan commission. The
existing understanding between
the two governments on the great
lakes are to be abregated and the
the United States is to be given
the use of the Welland canal in
case of war.
1.-The alliance is to be offensive
and defensive. II proceeds on
lines such as the foregoing. AS a
matter Of course, ali that has been
done so far is purely tentative; but

the general outline suggested"
