cal Condition.
PROTECTING THE DYNASTY
Merchants in Cuba Prefer Annexation to
the United States They Fear
the Vengeance Of the
S~eparatists.

London, July 24.-The Madrid cores
pondent of the Observer says the condi-
tion of the government is now most
critical and that the authorities are de-
voting all their attention to preventing
a revolution and safeguarding the dy-
nasty. The government offers the 5000
officers of the army in Cuba employ
ment Immediately upon their return to
Spain, with the object of removing the
opposition to the establishment OF peace.
A special dispatch from Madrid says
such reticence regarding the intentions
OF the government is observed that
Senior Sagasta, the prime minister;
Senior Gamaza. minister of public In
struction, and Duke Almodovar de no.
minister of foreign affairs. have ceased
to inform their colleagues of the prog
ress of the negotiations, merely stating
tina there is nothing further TO report.
Merchants and others having Cuban
interests assert that their correspond
ents write that all seem TO prefer the
annexation OF the United States to in
dependence, fearing the vengeance OF
the s~eparatists IL the Americans do not
remain to protect life and property in
the Islands.
Senior Dupuy de LONE says the split
between the Americans and the insur-
gents offers the best opportunity for
peace tina has occurred since the de-
struction of Admiral Cervera's fleet.

Ensign A. l.. Norton to that OF i1euten-
ant. Lieutenant Norton, who is a son
OF Congressman J. A. Norton of the Tiff
fin, o., district, is on the United States

There is a story connected with the
appointment OF Lieutenant Norton to
the naval academy which has probably

ing committee at the naval academy,

liminary examination, came near re-
jecting him, but was finally prevailed
upon to give him six months time in
which TO grow a half inch IN order to
reach the required height for the SER
vice. He returned home and took all
kinds Of gymnastic exercise. but stretch
himself TO his utmost he still lacked a
quarter OF an inch. When II came time
for him to report. he took two of his
trusted friends with him, telling them
that he needed their assistance. on the
morning of the day for the nnal eN-
animation, Bert was NJ bright and
early. and. awakening his chums, pre-
scented one with a piece of pasteboard
and the other with a good-sized plank,
Placing the pasteboard on his head he
commanded one to hold him and the
other to whack him over the head with
the plank. The blow was not hard
enough to suit him. and he gave the
command again. Harder"
Still he was not satisfied. and he gave
another command. "Once more, boys
