His Angry and Indiscreet Words Seem
ed to Have Been Pregnant With
Prophecy.
New York. Feb. 1.-THE Evening
,.,rld to-day contains a copyrighted CT
blegram from Havana signed by SyiveS-
ter ScOyel, which repeats graphically the
story of the blowing up of the battle
ship and says:
The correspondents of the Madrid
press have sent home foreboding mes
sages and on the civil side of the palace
mere are grave apprehenslons and scant
courtesy. When | asked Secretary Con-
gosto to aid me in talking to Gen.
Solano Owe securing the r~e-opening of
the cable for the messages of the
Names officers, he coldly said it was
none of his business, TIT General S0lano
was in sole charge. Fortunately that
gentleman was courteous and the mes
sages went. In view Of this present
attitude l shall now quote what Secreta-
~ Congosto, then the acting Governor
General, or fulfilling the functions OF
that responsible position, said to me the
night before the Maine had arrived. Con
sui General Lee had told him that after.
noon that "a war ship would come.
''Congosto belligerently objected. Gen.
eral Lee then said:
Remember, if any trouble does occur
| shall have the whole fleet here in foul
hours"
shortly after | saw Secretary Con
gosto and he was very mad. He wa:
also indiscreet. He said to me:
If your people would only let ur
F: alone it would be all right. Spain ha.
put up with more than any other na.
ton would have don | have warnc,
you that there will be trouble if The
Maine comes here. Now bring youl
ships here. If you want war o car
have it. You will find Spain has moi
forgotten how to fight
Il took these words at the time as
the angry utterancer of In oyertaXc1
diplomat. Now they seem to me rs
meaning something.
Two days ago a Spanish daily here
claimed Senior De Lone wrote his f"
nous letter and caused its capture DC
cause he saw no gain in further delaying
the break between the two govern
ments.'

immediately breakfast was over I
took my specimen cases and light
rifle, and, accompanied by Allie and two
OF our native servants. Owed into the
forest. on collecting thoughts intent.
But the profusion Of sub5ects was 90
vast that it was difficult TO know quite
where to begin. At every turn some pe-
culiar grass, some plant, some shrub
would arrest my attention. while in the
air butterflies, beetles and birds innu-
merable seemed to call upon me to catch
and catalogue them without delay. Allie
had quite recovered her good spirits by
this time, and having once grasped the
general idea followed her new hobby
with the same impassioned ardor TINT
was noticeable in everything she under
took. By midday our cases were full to
bursting, SO we returned to the camp TO
lunch In the afternoon we continued
our work, but this time without our ma
tive followers, who, when all was said
and done, preferred chattering to work
ing and in more ways than one We're in
the way.
By the time the sun declined upon
the mountain our boxes were once more
full, and we turned our heads camp
ward, following on our homeward route
the course of the same stream we had
pursued on our outward journey. 1t was
warm work, and when about half our
walk was done we stopped on little
rise TO look about us.
Allie seated herself on fallen tree, and
put down my boxes and took my place
beside her Throughout the afternoon
she had been little quiet, and | must
own that my own spirits were none too
lively. Enjoyable as our excursion had
proved, it was nevertheless fact that
every day was bringing my stay in the
island nearer to its close. and under the
circumstances could not help feeling
that. my duty done, it behooved me to
be moving on as soon as possible. And
yet the thought of leaving this woman,
into whose life had flashed like a me-
teor and whom had come so desperate
ly to love- was agonizing to me-
Allie rolled small stone into the
foaming torrent below us and then
turned to me.
DR.. De Normanville, she began
and it struck me that she hesitated a
good deal over what she had to say

For six months Brice worked night and

rapidly increased in value. BY No
