Mrs. Stolte will give tea at her home
next Tuesday afternoon, February H.
from 8 to 5, for the benefit of the Wom'
ans Auxiliary. 1t has been thought
that perhaps it was not as generally un-
derstood as it should be that these teas
are not for members of the Auxiliary ex'
clusively, but for any friend who would
like to drop in for a cup of tea and lew
minutes intercourse with others. lhey
are very informal affairs, but owing TO
the lack of Guild or Parish Rooms 1t was
necessary to give them in this way and
the few rickels that are gathered II is
hoped will aid not only toward securing
a Rectory to the Parish, but in the near
future Parish Room where the Aux'ii-
ary will often be lat home"to itstrtends'
During Lent the Auxiliary will meet
every Tuesday afternoon for work IN
preparation Tor sale to be given soon
after Easter, and tea will be poured
from 400 till 5. THE PRESIDENT.

SPAIN is DRIFTING
INTO BANKRUPTCY,
VIII Rcpudiate the Interest on Cuban
Bonds Financial Condition on the
Continent Is Bad

NEW YORK. May @,-The Times Lon
don financial correspondent cables: Paris
has at last betrayed symptoms OF iired-
ness The French are marvellous people,
the most painfully thrifty in the word,
but even they canno, be the means for
all the folly to which they are invited to
subscribe. Early last week some of their
Industrial paper structures began to
crumble, and suddenly the bourse sound
Itself overloaded In many directions, 1t
has been sulky ever since. and twice dur.
Ing the week It booked almost disposed
TO abandon Spanish investments.
Poor old Spain seems about TO throw
up the sponge and apologetIcally re-
pudiate. No one expected any govern
ment there to admit bankruptcy squarely;
your Spaniards has far too much dignity
to do anything OF the sort. But an in.
direct admission does just as well, so
the next debt coupon Is not to be paid
until the cortes votes the new budget
with fresh taxes, which is not job OF
lightning express order. Worse still, the
has vlciously kicked the
Bank OF Spain 50 that Il may die OF III
usage, Spain has no commerce to speak
OF except what foreigners conduct. The
Bank OF Spain has therefore, levied on
the government by the simple process OF
making II advances as required out OF
issue notes The security given
OF Cuban bonds treasury notes
and four per ceM redeemable bonds. The
interest on the Cuban bonds las been
frankly suspended, that on all the other
debt has been postponed, and harder
treatment than It, II possible-the re-
iemption drawings or redeemable bonds /.
have been stopped, The result Is that the
bank Is stranded high and dry, with as.
,ets of perhaps $1,000 pounds represented
netely by government promises to pay
'manana."
The only consolation Is that the repsb- /.
lcation Is done with high Spanish dig
nifty. The government had no use for
he bank, because It could not get any
more notes, therefore It is left lying like
1 spent mule,
The term of the French banks comes
next. They hold nearly the whole Of
ne Spanish external debt and some Gu
ran bonds, and have made splendid
profits out OF the business in the past,
specially out Of venturesome bears.

AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN.
Otis win Prosecute the War During tho
Rainy Season.

NEW YORK, May IA dispatch 70
the Herald from Manila says: General
Otis says. cOntradlciiHg the general i'm.
preston. thar the campaign against the
Filipino insurgents will be prosecuted
by the American forces with the utmost
asgresslyeness possible during the rainy
season.
General Lawton Is Of the opinion that
an early settlement OF the present trQn-
bles and the close Of hosiilities depends
largely upon the Americans giving rigid
protection TO the working classes in their
peaceful avocations, while waging In
cessant war against the armed forces
of the enemy from this time forth b.
means OF guerrilla warfare.
He will show the insurgents by vigorous
action upon the lakes, rivers and noun
tains that their belief that our troops
cannot campaign in the rainy seasons
or in the mountains is untrue.
Later it is possible that the changing
conditions may demand garrisonIng BY
districts, 50 that the valuable part OF
the island win be safe for The investment
OF capital and the prosecution Of Indus-
tries until Americans are completely
dominant. Quick transportation of the
cavalry and the pack mules Is desirable
as means OF rounding up the insur-
yents.
