A Shelter-audY ou.

1t may be prosperity's lacking,
And clouds looming black In the blue.
But whatever I miss
There are children to kiss
And shelter-thank heaven-and you!
It may be the rainbow has faded.
And the flowers are faint for the dew,
But sweet thought Is this
There are lips for my kiss
And shelter-thank heaven-and you!
1t may be the music Is dying.
That we reap in the rose-earden tho rue,
But life to my heart
Nothing sweet can impart
As the kiss OF the chldren-and you!

London, July 13.-The Madrid corre-

effect that the fall of Santiago de Cuba
is the governments most ardent desire.

MY private belief is that on the fall
of Santiago the peace negotiations,
which have already been informally be-
gun. will become official. The Pope has
tclegraphed the Queen Regent strongly
advising her to solicit peace, and eX-
planning the greatness of his advice. 1t

CHANGES POLITICAL.
Sagasta is Again Handling the Reins
With COnsummate Skill.

SaSaSta Is Again llanullnG the helllS
With COnsummatc Skill
London, July 13.-The Madrid core
spondcnt of the Times, says:
'There is mysterious change in the
political atmosphere. The fresh brcezcs
which set in two or three days ago in
,the direction of peace have for mo-
nent subsided.
"This change is probably n natural
reaction. Such oscillations must be eX-
pected because practical considerations
all make for peace, whereas sentimental
considerations which have Il powerful
influence on the Spanish mind, tend in a
precisely opposite direction.
Though some members of the Cabinet
may be giving in private conversation
undue prominence to the antl-peace sen
tmcnt with view of soothing patriotic
susceptibilities, it can not be supposed
that an experienced politician like Senor
Sagasta or an able diplomatst like Duke
Almodovar de Rio. the Foreign Minister
who has displayed remarkable grasp of
the situation as q whole. would drop the
substance for the shadow. They have
to decide what will be the most propti-
ous moment. and what the best techni-
cal means of initiating peace negotia
tions.
'lt is impossible to speak confidently
as to their views or intentions, both men
being naturally reticent. All that can
he stated with tOlerable certainty is that
Senor Sagasta's great moral influence
has re-established tranquility in the
Cabinet He is again firmly seated on
the box and has the team once more so
well in hand, that the very existence
of Il Ministerial crisis is denied.
'Pcrsonages in close relations with the
Ministers believe that as soon as certain
confidential communications now passing
between Madrid and Havana, have ter
minated, the United States government
will be sounded as to what general CON
dtions might be taken as IL basis for
peace negotiations. | cannot profess to
guarantee the accuracy of thfs state
mcpt, but the information reaches me
from 50 many mutually independent
sources that it is probably correct.

Manila, July 9, via Hong Kong, July
13.-The insurgents on Wednesday, July
9th. reported that the German gunboat
Irene. in Subg Bay, refused to permit
them to attack the Spaniards on Grande
Island.
Rear Admiral Dewey promptly dis
patched the United States cruisers Raj
eigh and Concord to investigate the
matter On entering Subig Bay the Raj
eigh opened fire on the forts, whereupon
the Irene slipped her cable and steamed
out by the other channel. The result of
the fire of the American warship was
that the Spaniards numbering over 800
men surrendered everything.
On returning to Manila the Irene eX-
plained that she interfered ''in the cause
of humanity" and offered to hand over
to the Americans the refugees she had on
board.
Admiral Dewey, however, declined to
accept them.
Governor General Augusti has is
sued Il proclamation promising to grant
autonomy to the islands, and offering the
insurgents inducements to join the Span
ish forces. General Aguinaldo, the in
surgent leader, in reply, said the over
lures of the Spanish commander came
too late.
ISLA GRANDE CAPTURED.
Washington, ID. c., July 13.-Thc
Navy Department has received from
Admiral Dewey the following dispatch:
"Aguinaldo informs me his troops
have taken all of Subig Bay, except
Isla Grande; which he was prevented
from taking by the German man-of-war
Irene. On July Tth the Raleigh and
Concord were there; they took the island
and about 1,300 men, with arms and
ammunition. No resistance. The Irene
retired from the hay on their arrival.
Il shall send the Boston to Cape I'm

ond army detachment. 1t is not practl-
