Liverpool, April 24.-Larrinaga
81 Co.. the owners of the Spanish
steamer Buena Ventura, captured
yesterday off Key West by the
United States gnnboat Nashville,
have issued a signed protest against
her capture. They say the cargo
of the steamer belongs to British
merchants, and was insured in
Great Britain. They add that the
steamer left Ship Island on April
IL, so her captain was not aware
of the outbreak of war. Finally,
the owners of the Buena Ventura
claim the capture was illegal, as
there has been no formal declara-
ton Of war, and the ultimatum of
President Mckinley to Spain had
not expired when the steamer was
seized.

Earning a small salary in public
school. she has taken private pupils and
lived frugally and has been able to go
to Europe every other year for u two

Her first journey was made TO Eng
land and Scotland and was enjoyed SO
keenly that she planned another one
and saved money for 1t during the next
two years. The second tour was through
France. Belgium and Holland. and in
order to travel comfortably she learned
French during her leisure hours.
Returning to her school work. she
began to study German and at the end
OF two years was ready for journey up
the Rhine and to Vienna and thence
through Dresden and Berlin to Bremen.
With renewed ardor she plunged into
the study of italian. and at the end of
two years she started for Rome. She
made the round OF the Italian cities and
spent fortnight In Switzerland. Two
years afterward she was in Spain and
was able to speak the language.
During the last year she has made
her sixth Journey to Europe. travelling
through Denmark, Norway and Sweden

Much has been written of the bright
cynical wit of the French; but, although.
we are not inclined to associate the
trait with these people. there Is also n
sort of humor of a broadly ludicrous

function of their lives.

her own bargains with drosky drivers
and go about without guide.
In the course of IL years she has made
six Journeys to Europe and learned to
speak six modern languages. and she
has supported herself entirely by her
earnings as a schoolteacher and has
paid every penny of her travelling ex-
penses. Starting with painstaking
study of the language of the country
which she was to visit and also pre-
pairing herself by course of reading.
she has made the best possible use of
her time abroad.
The reward for all this energy and
perseverance has come in her thirtieth
year. Her knowledge of foreign Ian
guages has fitted her for broader work
as teacher, and she has left the pub
lie schools to take n position as in
structor In French. German and Italian
in high school for young women.
There may be higher aims than those
ordinarily involved in foreign travel,
but the persistency of this American
girl in carrying out her plans is worthy
OF praise. 1t is great gain in any hui
man life II 1t is governed by a definite
purpose and keeps that purpose steadily
in mind.
