THE FEELING IN MADRID.
General Expressions of Sorrow at the
Disaster Which Befell the
MatnN


Madrid. Feb IA Spanish minister. who
declines to have his name used, said to
the correspondent of the Associated Press
here to-day:
'.Al the official dispatches agree that the
loss of the Maine was due to an accident
We keenly regret that the jingo element,
with palpable bad faith. are endeavoring
to make capital out of the catastrophe"
The United States minister. General
Stewart l. Woodford. accompanied by his
secretary, and the naval attache of the
United States legation, Lieutenant G. L.
Dyer, called at the admiralty to-day to
thank the government for the proofs Of
consideration it has given and for the as
sistance of the Spaniards of Havana in
saving the survivors Of the Maine.
The queen regent presided at a cabinet
meeting to-day. The subject chiefly dis
cussed was the loss Of the battleship
Maine. The minister for foreign affairs,
Senior Gullon, read dispatch on the sub
ject from Washington, and the queen re-
gent expressed sorrow at the catastrophe.
There is much comment here at the re-
ported sending of United States torpedo
fotilla to Havana from Key West.
The government has cabled instructions
to the commander of the warship Viscaya,
leaving it to his discretion when to quit
New York.
Orders have also been issued to Captain
Peral to open an inquiry into the cause Of
the disaster to the Maine.
The government has received a cable
message from the Washington government
thanking Spain for the assistance rendered
by the Spanish authorities at Havana after
the disaster.
Ell Liberal. commenting to-day on the
loss of the Maine, says: "Such ratas-
trophe to humanity claims indefeasible
rights, and the rancours of politics are
silenced. Every great calamity brings
home to the two people, divided though
they be by animosity and rivalry. that
they belong to one and the same family.
Our noble hearted nation, seeing the vic
tins of the Maine, forbears to think Of its
differences with the United States. To-
morrow 1t will return to the defense Of its
rights against all. But for to-day it feels
only sincere and loyal compassion for the
immense misfortune. Happy, indeed. were
the Spaniards who. by saving the lives of
the crew of the Maine at the risk Of their
own. were thus enabled to prove the SEN
timents Of all Spaniards and the tradi-
tions of Spain.
I'VE do not know what may happen to-
morrow. We are prepared for any event.
But to-day let us pass the sword which we
have been forced to keep drawn to the
left hand, and let US stretch out the right
hand, not to those who insult us, but to
those who weep"

Cheerful Girls.

Good and healthy girls are almost
always cheerful. No novelist would
consider his youthful heroine CO M
plete il ringing laugh were
omitted from the list of her charms,
and in real life the girls who do not
laugh now and then are seldom
trusted or liked by their compan-
ions. Even beauty will not save
them. A belle who fails to under
stand the jest of her admirers and
smiles in amiable bewilderment
while other people are laughing is
soon left with no consolation save
to wonder what anybody can see in
her rival-a girl with "tip tilted'
nose perhaps and large mouth and
freckles, but the happy possessOr of
a pair of merry eyes and cheerful
mind. The gift of gayety is indeed
of great value, but it must be gayety
which originates in a kind and
cheerful heart, not that which is
born of mere excitement or gratifled
vanity.-Exchange.

Few women know how to rest as
they should. They think that they
must undress and go to bed to be
thoroughly comfortable. This is a
mistake, provided there is a
tabouret or little footstool in the
room, on which the feet may rest
while the other part of the body is
supported by chair. You can read
and rest comfortably in this fashion.
And let it be whispered here be-
tween ourselves that If we want to
get the maximum of rest in the
minimum of time, we should copy
that inelegant but healthful trick of
the masculine drones and put our
feet occasionally higher than our
heads. Fashionable women, to
whom the necessity of never show
ing fatigue and of ever looking their
best has taught this knack, fall into

UNDER THE PINES.

Under the pines with her hair in a
tangle,
The skies in her eyes and the stars
beaming out,
One rosy hand clasping the green
boughs above her,
One daintily tossing the flowers about,
The graces peep out from the depths of
her dimples,
The Maids are born where her eye
glances stray
Under the pines, though the long years
have vanished,
Under the pines she is standing to-
day!
Under the pines! ah, forever and ever
The Nymphs builds their booths and
the Maids their cave,
And there meath the bowers she is toss
ing her flowers
For time cannot take back the picture
he gave!
o, life with your strife, o, death with
your darkness,
Ye have taken the tinsel and left me
the gold!
For deep in my heart where the ever
greens hide her,
Still tossing her flowers she stands as
of old.
