The Basque provinces seem very quiet,

An intelligent correspondent who ac-
companied the second Manila expedi-
ton, writes from Honolulu:
1t is a notable fact that nearly every.
one on board with whom l have talked
either expects to get permanent posi-
tion in the Philippines after the war is
over or intends to 60 into business
there. Not one of them doubts that
the islands will be kept by the United
States, and many men have enlisted
simply to be on the spot when the
"boom" in Manila real estate begins.
What America was to the Spaniards
three centuries ago the Philippines are
now to these men-a land of gold. Will
they all have the same ideas four
months hence, when they have had
some experience with the climate and
people Of the island?

annex foreign territory. Why did not
the advocates OF Hawaiian annexation
propose to admit Hawaii as state, and
cite Texas as q precedent. Simply be-
cause they knew that the people would
be appalled, at the thought of giving
statehood to the mongrel population Of
those islands, most of them pagans and
incapable Of appreciating our civiliza-
tions or our institutions, and yet once
Hawaii is brought under the American
flag the scheming for its admission as a
state will begin.

The harbor at Santiago seems to be
less dangerous than was supposed, for
Commodore Schley thinks after an ex-
animation, that the navy might have
entered and taken the city. 1t is prob.
ably better so, for the risks were great
from torpedoes and fort guns. Moro is
still in good condition and the lombard
ment had not seriously damaged it. 1t is
medieval structure upon splendid site.
A modern low fortifcatiou with dissp-
pearing guns would probably render the
harbor impregnable to naval assault.
The inspecting party found the Merri-
mac and the Reina Mercedes with their
upper works out of water but too badly
wrecked to be raised again. Landing
parties set of the mines from the firing
stations, and vessels may now 20 up to

formerly Of Pennsylvania, who died

EUROPE TO wATsoN's FLEET.

Columbia enter my pillars
That Hercules builded one day
Sit ye down with your juvenile killers
Gibraltar is over the way.
Atlantic, It rings with Hosanna
That follows ye in from the West
Ye alight on the world like Diana
With her bow and her clusters of breast.
Long England has waited his sister
At Mediterranean's gate,
Where Spain like hidcous blister
Holds Ceuta, her dungeon Of state;
Oh, open to Africa's Edom
A light on the dark of the waves
Come back in your raiment Of freedom
Whom Europe has loaded with slaves
How youthful and how unaffected,
Fair matron, you lean on your brand
The stone that the prophets rejected,
The image of Virtue you stand.
What arts like the art of your nation
Has Europe to show unto ye?
Your States in one great constellation,
Their jealousy but to be free.
Republics of Greece and Italia,
They spangled the sea with their hate,
Their history long saturnalia,
Their jealousy green as their fate;
Crusaders they robbed like the Turkmen,
Our Washingtons all were exiled,
The slave of the King was the workman
And Herods conscripted his child.
We live in a warfare eternal
Lest union our hatred would heal
We nurture abuses Internal,
Our pride is the pride Of CASTLE.
The Europe we have, is it better
Than Vandal bequeathed us and Hun?
The millions that read not letter
Are drafted the slaves Of a gun.
And yet they will preach thee a sermon,
Young nation that shines like a store,
The Gaul and the trade-looting German
And Russian will lecture on war.
Come, dame without scepter or alter,
And show us the light that is true
Sit down by the Strait of Gibraltar
And tell us if Jesus be you.
Invincible is your armada
And forged by Minerva your tools,
The smoke of your guns but shadow
Ilum'ed by your popular schools;
You roam not the globe for plantations,
Nor mock them with crosses and domes |;
Tne islands you free will be nations,
The altars you make shall be homes
Decatur and cambridge and Eaton,
Your pilots await for the hour
When the last of the Corsairs is beaten,
For Spain is the barbary power;
No more on the weak shall she trample,
Nor treachery turn into gain,
Chastised by Columbias example,
There yet may be freedom for Spain.
Masaniello is earnestly gazing
Upon thy intrepid advance,
And Hannibal looks with amazing
From the train of his big elephants;
Old Camoens adds too canto
And tho. dead old Magellan still hears;
Don John wakens up at Lepanto
And Roger de Loria cheers.
Isabella awaits her explorer
Returning unclaimed from the Ind;
Cleopatra of Egypt, adorer
OF Caesars, wakes sleek as she sinned;
And Dante's cold Beatrice tingles,
Fornarina thinks Raphael tar,
The bellies of Provence from their Ingles
Look West Tor the new Troubador.
Sail in while we watch thee in wonder,
And hear from Sierra and crag
Thy ships shake the coasts with their thun
And cities acknowledge thy flag
Till castle, Escurial, college,
Columbia's lesson shall scan,
That nothing is royal but knowledge,
And Man is the savior Of man.

old man, of the name Beaver, and his
three sons. all of whom we're hard

the advice and entreaties of pious
though very eccentric minister, who re-
sided in the same town. 1t happened
one Of the boys was bitten by rattle
snake, and was expected to die, when
the minister was sent for in great haste.
On his arrival, he found the young man
very penitent and anxious to be prayed
with. The minister, calling on the
family, knelt down and prayed in this
WISE: 80 Lord! we thank Thee for
rattlesnakes. We thank Thee because
a rattle snake bit Sim. We pray Thee
send rattlesnake to bite John; send
one to bite Bill; send one to bite Sam;
and, 0 Lord! send the biggest kind of
rattle snake to bite the old man, for
nothing but rattle snakes will ever bring
the Beaver family to repentance"
