IT WAS NOT TOO LAT e.
"a story Of European Diplomacy and
Our Civil War.

The Outlook gives an interesting
story Of the Spanish administration,
when, during our civil war, the Emperor
Napoleon formed the ingenious plan Of
uniting European nations in a change
of the international law governing
blockades. The admiralty law Of the
world at present extends the jurisdic-
ton of any nation for one marine league
from its shores. IL, therefore, any block
ade runner could get within three miles
Of Jamaica, Cuba or Porto Rico, he
was safe from any interference from
our blockading fleet.
Napoleon proposed that, instead Of
one league, the limit Of local sovereignty
should be extended to three leagues
from shore, and he persuaded the Span
ish minister to come into his plan.
Such an extension Of neutral limits
would have greatly hindered the opera
tions Of our blockading fleets. All the
negotiations were conducted with great
Spain to the West Indies. instructing
authorities there to extend threefold the
range Of their dominion over the sea.
These orders had already gone when
Horatio Perry, the American secretary
of legation, got wind of the treachery
of our ally.
Mr.. Perry told his wife. She told the
Duchess of Montpensier, who hated
Louis Napoleon, and the duchess told
her sister, the Spanish queen. Then the
queen sent for Mr.. Perry and asked
what it was all about.
ttYou are injuring your best
friends said he after explaining the
matter, Eat the solicitation Of this in
triguer whom You have reason to be-
lieve is your enemy"
| The queen regent sent for her prime
minister and Intercepted him. He re-
piled that her majesty had signed the
order on such day.
'But no one told me what it meant, !"
said Queen Isabella. ttNo one told me
that this is heavy blow to my Ameri-
| can allies" .--.a-. ...@
No one had told her! The minister
was sorry if her majesty disliked it,
but it was too late to help it. Why was
it too late? Because steamer had gone
to the West Indian fleet with the orders
which changed one league to three.
| Then said Isabella. cit is not toe
late for me to accept your designations. .
But the senior don did not want to re.
sign, and the other senores dons did not
want to resign. So they found fast
steamer to take out orders resembling
the other orders, and the blockade was
maintained for the next year.

more.
The salaries in the 'front.' are about
as follows: Business manager, $50 to

sistant, SIS; two doorkeepers, So to $12
each; head usher, So; other ushers
(three or four), 81; Autograph men

The salaries of the attaches Of the
stage are all fixed at union rates. Fur
thermore, the manager must employ
three men on a side-that is, three
stage hands on each side of the stage,
including the stage carpenter and his
assistant-and two fymen, men who
work the curtain and drops up in the

AN ARCHITECTURAL PUZZLE
Monasteries Built In q Wildly Inac-
cessible Locality.

Monasteries Built In a Wildly Inac-
cessible Locality.
The famous monasteries of Meteora
crown the SUBMITS Of vast rock pima
cles rising from the plain of Thessaly. 5.
By what strange means the first cum
ming architects of these airy perches
succeeded in reaching the scene of their
labors is a matter wreathed in mystery.
The cliffs are far too smooth and per-
pendicular for any man to climb by
hand and foot, and history guards jeal-
ously the secret of the monasteries. All
that is known about them is that the
monks and wandering friars Of the mid
die ages found sanctuary here when
first the crescent and scimiter ran red
with Christian blood. Visitors to the
monks abode announce their presence
by shouting until some one far above
looks out and let's the net, which is
worked by windlass, come down.
The sensation Of the ascent is dis
tinctly novel. Seated on the ground in
one by one Topped on to large iron
hood. AS the rope becomes taut the
cords press uncomfortably hard upon
various points Of. ones body, and with
a strong wind blowing it swings to
and fro and bumps it's human load
against the cliff. The rope, as it slowly
winds on the drum up in the monastery,
kinks occasionally, and the jerk gives
one the impression that the rickety con-
Germ is giving way.
The journey, however, ends safely
ITO feet above the ground, where the
monks promptly extricate the visitor
| and give him a pleasant welcome.

WHY Wood Crackles.

Wood crackles when it is ignited be-
cause the air expanded by heat forces
it's way through the pores of the wood
with cracking noise. Green wood
makes less swapping than dry because
the pores contain less air, being filled
with sap and moisture, which extin-
guish the fame, whereas the pores Of
dry wood are filled with air, which
supports com bustion.

Interest in the news was universal
pervading all classes and conditions of
London's population. Newspaper extras \
were read in business houses, on streets
and by women in their carriages. Then
there was a rush to the war office, which
by noon was surrounded with private
carriages and hansoms while many Of
the humber class of people came on foot
all waiting and watching for names they
held dear Never was the Old saying
bad news travels quickly" better ex.
emplified than to-day. BY noon sorrow
prevailed throughout the British metrop-
oils.
At the government offices no effort was
made to conceal the feeling of dismay
prevailing One official said to to
representative Of the Associated Press:
1T is inexplicable and I am sorry to
say that its moral effect is inestimable.
We have lost heavily in many ways and
had regiments almost wiped out but to
have regiments captured, and the h~ che
Beers, it is terrible.
An official of the war Office said to a
representative of the Associated Press:
''The disaster is more likely due to the
craze of our younger officers to distn
guish themselves. obtain mention in the
dispatches and earn the Victoria cross
veteran, General White, in spite of his
avoWal."
AS the day wore on the crowd around
the war office swel!ed to enormous pro-
portions, and at Gloucester, the home of
many Of those engaged, the Widest eX-
citement prevailed.
Special editions of local newspapers
We're speedily exhausted and the same
thing occurred al Bristol and other towns
in that county. Coming so soon after
the engagement at Retzfontein, where
the Gloucestershires suffered heavily
this fresh disaster brought keenest sor-
row to the households all over the coun-
ty whose name the regiment bears The
disaster had an immediate effect on this
stock exchange where consols fell Y;
South African securities dropped heavily.
The tone of the editorials of the after
noon papers can be summed up in the
following statement Of the ST. James Ga
zette:
1T is evident patriotism and fortitude
are to be tested in earnest by these oper-
ations of ours in Natal against great
odds. General White had a difficult task
set him and we must take the disaster
with dogged GOODNESS, which the Britons
know how to display. We shall await
the final result without apprehension.
While the announcement today of the
arrival of General Butler at Capetown
was received by the British with un-
feigned satisfaction, it is pointed out the
general cannot end the war without an
army corps and some of the troops which
are to compose it have not even left Eng
land for South Africa.

Whites Official Report.

London, Oct. 3l-Following is the text
of General Whites dispatch to the war
office:
'Ladysmith, Oct. 80, 1045 p. MI have

not yet been ascertained. A man of the

says:

We're not wholly unexpected nothing like

of the Beers, who have again showed
themselves strong fighters and military
strategists of no mean order.
This disaster cost the British from 500

stronger than imagined the capture Of
these guns will be great help to the
