The Talk of Rees.

Do bees talk? is question asked by a
writer in The Rambler, who observes that
there is very little doubt that bees COM
municate with one another by means Of
certain sounds. Ants may be said to talk,
but 1t is sign language only, worked by
touching one another's antennn. Any
one, however, who has had much to do
with bees will tell you that tho sounds in
hive. and those produced by individual
bees, vary in way which Is no doubt I'M
derstood by other members of tho oom-
lnunity. Particularly is this the case w hen
the young queen is nearly ready to move
OF. She begins to utter series of faint
barking or piping sounds, quito distinct
from her ordinary note. And just before
she moves off this sound is changed to
delicate piping. How this sound is pro-
ducesl is not clearly understood. Ordinary
bee sounds, however, are produced by the
vibration OF the wings.

SENIOR QUESADA's POSITION.
Does Not Want Any Intervention Which
Means Less Than Independ-
encc for Cuba.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Senor Que
sada. charge d~'aifd.res of the Cuban
junta, when asked yesterday to state
the position that he now maintains in
regard to affairs on the island. made
the following statement:
Our position has so often and so
cmphaticaily been expressed that the
American people mo misinterpret
it. Anything which means the per-
petuation of Spanish sovereignty in
the island, whatever be its apparent
liberal form and come from whom it
may come, will not be accepted by the
Cuban patriots. We oppose any inter
vention which does not have for its de-
clared object the independence of the
island.
The republic OF Cuba has a civil
government and an army which has
forced Spain to admit its inability to
r~e-establish its control in what was
the colony of Cuba. The people OF tn e
United States want the independence
of Cuba recognized.

THE SINEWS OF WAR.
The President Can Have all the
Money He Wants.
PEOPLE ARE WITH THE EXECUTIVE.
Could Raise Three Hundred Millions
Among the Financial Institutions of
New York Alone In Two Days on
the Governments Own Terms.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Several Off
Gals of the administration called in
formally at the White House last night
and had conferences, with the presi,
dent. Secretaries Long, Bliss, Alger
and Acknowledgement Griggs were
among those who saw the president,
but all left the executive mansion
early and the president retired before
II o'clock. None of them would dis
cuss the situation in any of its phases.
Assistant Secretary of State Day
passed about half an hour with the
president, and as he left the White
House was asked by 4 press repre-
sentative whether the state depart
ment had received any information
concerning the report that ConsuIGGn-
eral Lee had left Havana. lie replied
that 10 such Information had been re-
ceived, and that the department was
not informed that there had been riot
ing in tina: city yesterday. Beyond
this statement he defined to go.
Early in the evening the president
had a long conference by appointment
with John A. Mccall, of New York.
Mr.. Mccall is understood to have as
sured the president that the govern
ment would be put to no embarrass-
ment by Il lack of money with which to
prosecute a war. While he deprecated
war and hoped that it might be avert
ed, if it could not be, the whole people
of the country would starel by the pres
ident in maintaining a just contest.
1t is said upon excellent authority
that Mr.. Mccall expressed to the presi-
dent his belief that within is hours nc
could raise among the financial insti-
~tutions of New York alone $500, 600. 900.
which the government could have upon
its own terms, and that if a popular
subscription were called for 500, 900, 900
could be obtained in a few days.
Late last night Mr.. Mccall said he
did not care to discuss his interview
with the president. As to a war
loan said he, I'VE will not cross that
bridge until we get to it. Everybody
ought to deplore war. but when the
president says war is inevitable the
people will stand solidly with him.
He can have ali the money he wants"
