London. June 2S.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail telegraphing
Monday says: The minister Of war, Gen
eral oOrea, expects the first Spanish rein
forcements to reach Santiago tomorrow.
The report is confirmed that the Spanish
troops at Guantanamo are marching 10
attack the American rearguard there.
There is also a movement Of other troops
throughout the whole Of eastern Cuba in
order to carry out concerted plan Of ae-
ton. The announcement that an Amer
lean squadron is coming to Spain attraets
very little attention. All the available
men-of-war have been ordered to hold
themselves in readiness The harbors are
mostly protected by tOrpedOes, and the
various garrisons have been reviewed as
to their eIiicieaey.

II is scarcely conceivable that 4 man
and his wife can live together for q
Heightened period without speaking to
each other. hut We came across case
= few days ago where such a silence
had been maintained for eighteen
years. The ec-Ele in question did not
agree on certain points, and as argu-
ments led TO quarrels. the wife con-
eluded that II would be q good plan
not to speak to each other. The hus-
band agreed, and the dificulty was
then how to communicate with one
another, seeing that they continued to
live in the same house.
A cat became their "go-between," or
rather several of these animals during
the long period Of their silence. II
the husband wanted anything he told
the cat, In his wife's hearing, and she,
In like manner. appraised the same ami
NAL when her husbands dinner was
ready. Rather an unsatisfactory way
Of doing business. one would imagine.
How long such q silence viii be con-
tinued it is difficult to say; but after
eighteen years OF II, It Is not too much
to expect that they are somewhat tired
Of their peculiar system Of married life.
Another married couple kept silence
for twenty years. The man had yio-
lent temper, and one day, after having
q row with his wife, he vowed that he
would never speak again. The couple
continued to live together In the sane
house, but no conversation passed be-
tween them for the period stated. At
the end Of that time, however, the
man fell I'll, and relenting Of his rash
vow, he broke through the long silence.
The illness Immediately preceded his
death, and. as may be expected, the
wife nursed the husband, who for 20
years had not spoken to her, In the
most faithful manner.
In another case two schoolboys who
were great friends quarreled, and as a
result they vowed that they would new
er speak to each other again These
resolutions were kept for sixty years,
but last year, when attending q
holiday gathering of their old school
to which former pupils had been in
vited, they decided to forget the past,
and at once entered into conversation.
They recounted their experiences to
each other, and appeared to be two OF
the happiest old scholars at the gather
ing.
We have heard Of prisoners being
condemned for a short period to the
silent system" but this. although an
unenviable position, is not to be com
pared with that of the Trappist monks
In Italy, who take a VOW OF eternal
silence. In France, too, there is con-
vent where between forty and fifty
women have taken shelter, and lead
remarkably silent life. They never
speak to each other, never lift their
eyes, except when in prayer or at work.
and never leave their silent home
