MISS HYDE WILL NOT SING.
Place of the Maine Soprano at the Spring
field Festival to Be Taken by Miss Char
Iotte Mac nda-The Need of Support for
the Festival.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
says:
"The May festival is running against
an amount of hard luck this year which
should excite the sympathy of every mu-
sic lover. First came the hard times
which have made it necessary to plan the
festival in an economical fashion, the
manager rightly feeling that there was
no surplus money to expend in extrava-
CANT salaries for stars. Then came the
singular lack of available singers for
such modest outlay as seemed safe, and
the managers have worked hard and with
good measure of success to overcome
this difficulty. Then just as the tickets
were about to go on sale came the out.

interest in any of the arts of peace. And

The managers are now sending out cir

plainly stating the facts, and appealin G
for the help which is needed. 1t is q

ANOTHER SPANISH BILLET DoUx.
Keeps Writing to Powers Like An Absent
Lover.

Madrid, April 20, $50 a. m. The
Spanish government today sent circular
to the Powers, experimenting its circular
of April IS, and expressing regret at
the "Hard necessity of being compelled
to appeal to force in order to repel the
scandalous aggression of the United
States, and defend the national dignity
and historical integrity of the father
land.''
Continuing, the note says: History
presents few instances wherein the reason
on one part, and the outrage so undis-
guised on the other. Spain has on her
side the right. correct procedure and pru-
dence, while the United States has on her
side only disloyalty and the impulse of
unbridled ambitions. !"
After a reference to the "Execrable
conduct of General Fitzhugh Lee, the
note reproduces the text of the resolutions
of Congress, undermining the last words
"As intended to deceive the Cubans.' -
1t is then predicted that the island of
Cuba will not be declared pacified until

with the following declaration:
''The Spanish people await the attack
with tranquil serenity, decided to sell
their lives dear and to defend energeti-
cally their right to remain in America,
confident that in this work they will

gave Lind 4,7s5 votes and Cleugh 9,071. This

Mr.. Lind will receive 1850. We have never
heard of or seen a man who voted for Mr..
Lind in 1896 who will not again vote for him
in November, except to be in the graveyard.

There now remains no doubt but that Mr.
