1t Is not love, this beautiful unrest.
This tremor of longing that invades my breast ;
for love Is IN his grave this many year,
He will not rise, do not wish him here.

1t is not hope. for life makes no amends
And hope and are long no longer friends.

Regarding Fashoda.

A Frenchman met a Briton
Far down in the Soudan;
And the Frenchman said: We've dropped il
here
With a civilizing plan,
To do work humanitarian
For our heather brctherman."
Said the Briton to the Frenchman:
REALLY, now, that's very nice;
But we've civilized some thousands
AT reasonable price,
And think the job is so well done

To Her.

Her minds garden, where do grow
Sweet thoughts like posies in row.
Her soul is as some lucent star,
That shines upon us from afar.
Her hearts an ocean, wide and deep,
Where swirling waves of passion sweep,
Aye, deeper than the deepest sea.
And wide as woman's mystery.

Yet will ] chance a shipwreck there.

shooting was from 600 10 500 yards and
the fractures along the line of greatest

Whether ball passing through from
side to side will cause fracture at right

no doubt due to the great velocity Of

Another fact vet remains 10 be
proved, whether the mortality is greater
from the use Of the modern or the old
style rifles. In the case of our own

proportion Of wounded than formerly.
However. that will require further DEM
onstration, as the results of the IIth

fatalities.
There is yet no means of ascertain
ing the proportion Of wounded to the
number killed Of the Spanish troops dur
ing the engagement referred to, but Il
might be safely assumed that in the
case of the Spanish mortality was also
larger than normal. The topography Of
the region where the fight occurred and
evidently scanty means of transporta-
ton at hand makes il unlikely that the
Spanish could have removed all their
wounded had there been any great
number of them. As a matter of fact.

Guantanamo bay, Cuba, June %. via
Port Antonio, Jamaica, June 27.-Aside
from the energetic attack of the Span-
iards on the first American camp es-
tablished in Cuba, nothing has aston
ished the inhabitants of Camp McCalla
and the fleet generally as much as the
present dry interval i'm the midst Of
what was supposed to be Cuba's rainy
season. May was ushered in with
rains on the northern coast, and when
the troops reached the south coast
there were a few noon showers, then
cloudy threats but no rain. and since
the marines have landed at Camp Nc
Gala there has been but one brief
shower and no more.
Camp McCalla has proven a health
ful and a fine place to acclimate and
harden the soldiers. The men, some of
whom were half sick from six weeks
confinement on the Panther when they
landed, are all as brown as Indians
and hard as prize fighters. They haze
had their baptism of fire and stood the
ordeal. They have gone six miles in
land and smoked the Spaniards out Il

The officers smile quietly at hearing

prompts them.
All reports from inland agree in pic
turing the Spanish situation as desper-
ate. The Cubans invest Santiago and
Guantanamo so closely that even dis

ish army are captured oftener than
they get through. The military gov

BLOCKADE EXTENDED.
ManxaniIIo, Trinidad and Tunas Are
Covered by the Order.

Washington. June 2s.-By prociama-
tion issued to-day. the president gave
notice of the intention of the govern
ment 20 assume the formidable task of
blockading about 500 miles of the Gu
ban coast line in addition to the section
already blockaded. This increases the
extent or the blockade fully four fold.
Demands upon the navy will not be
nearly so heavy in proportion to the
territory covered as in the case of the
initial blockade for the reason that the
new blockade coast line lies entirely
within the great blight on the South
Cuban coast. in which the water Is gen.
orally very shallow and ports are few
into which a vessel could enter. The
most important of these ports are Man
zanillo. Trinidad and Tunas.
The purpose of extending the block
ade was to command the channel on
the west side of the Isle of Pines and
Cape Francis and thus render much
easier the task of blockading. Vessels
for the additional blockade service will
be supplied almost entirely from the
patrol fleet which, under Commodore
Howell, has been guarding the North
Atlantic coast.
The blockade of San Juan, pro-
claimed to-day. is in reality already In
effect. having been initiated by Captain
Sigsbee last week. The difficulty of
maintaining the blockade at this port.
