MUST DECLARE ALLEGIANCE.
spAnisrds In Cubs, Porto Rico and tho
Philippines May Choose Whom
They VIII Serve.

Washington, June 2s.-The Spanish
government is about to take steps to
determine how many Spanish res.
idents of Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines intend 10 maintain their al
legiance to the crown of Spain. Pro.
vision for this was made in the treaty
OF Paris, which allows one year from
the date of exchanging ratification OF
the treaty within which Spanishb born
residents could make known their wish
to remain subjects of Spain.
The newly-appointed Spanish con-
suls generals at Havana, Manila and
San Juan will open registers at their
respective stations and at other points
where Spauish-born residents may
make a declaration before court Of
allegiance to the crown of Spain; 9th
erwise allegiance is renounced, and
they become citizens of the territory
in which they may reside.
There will be no more Spanish con-
sular appointments for the present,
,he purpose being to allow the new
eonsuls general to determine how far
the service should be extended IN Gu
ba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
The appointees then will be drawn
from the local Spanish residents. In
this way, the Spanish authorities eN-
pect To secure an organization in
touch with the local Spanish senti-
ment.
The Spanish minister, duke of Ar
COS. leaves for Manchester-by-the- Sea

be located through the summer.

MADE A MISTAKE OF AN HOUR
The Disaster 10 the steamship Pari,
Proves 90 Have Been Due to IA
Mistake In Reading the Log.

Chicago, June gS.-A special cable tc
the Tribune from London says: The
Paris disaster turns out to be a simple
matter On leaving Cherbourg, Capt.
Watkins entered the departure in the
log: six thirty-tive p. m," using a
pencil. The next entry was Passing
raskets, ,7:35." The course steered was
almost due west i'm order to make the
Lizard light So as to go through the
passage between Cornwall and the isl.
ands the usual practice is, if the Liz.
ard light is not made at a certain time,
10 change the course to the south and
go clear of the island. On this occa.
sion this was impossible, as owing tc
the misty night they could not see the
Eddystone light
The captain consulted the log when
about opposite Eddystone. He mis-
took the entry and read the time OF
leaving Cherbourg at 1885, the time OF
passing Caskets, instead of 6:35, the
real time of leaving Cherbourg. Con-
sequently the captain judged himself
about seventeen miles farther from
the Cornwall coast than he really was.
and delayed changing the course by
one hour, just sufficient to run the
Paris right on the coast.

TO INDUCE RE-ENLISTMENTS
untesrs ~ -Four Months Furiough
and . Trip Home.

Washington, June est Is not
known to the war department how
Gen. Otis has succeeded in his under.
taking to form three skeleton regt
ments from the volunteers now in the
Philippines who are willing to re-en
list. An impression prevails at the
war department that a large proper
tion of the volunteers may be re-en'
listed if some arrangement can be
made whereby the men can be allowed
10 make visit to their friends and
relatives in the United States. The
idea is to re-enlist them IN the Philip
Pines and give them a furlough 10
return to the United States. THIS
furlough would be at least four
months, more than half of which time
would be required to make the
round trip from Manila to the Unltea
States.

She slipped a plump brown hand out
of one of the leather gloves and rubbed
it hastily over her glistening eyes, and
then she laughed in a self-ridicuiing
way.

said. land ma was never foolish like
me: but when she was young she didn't

Liny's varying expressions settled
into one of firm determination as she
drove on in business-like manner,
paying undivided attention to John as
the wagon rumbled through the crowd
ed thoroughfare. She was glad when
her vegetables were disposed of to her
dealer and she had tied John in quiet
place a square back of the market, and
she threw her head up trfle andgave
Il swift smile, as she repeated to her
self that she reckoned now she could
go shopping as we'll as other folks.
Liny's shopping, however. was not ex-
tensiye that morning, and She found
herself idly walking the streets, ex-
the goods in the windows and
admiring the latest spring fashions.
Then. suddenly, her ugly frown came
back.
Two girls had crossed the street and

whitewashed houses, and he was laugh

ory of it all.
Then Julia Gregg said, half timidly;

Julia, in answer to the pull, and she
went on to tell the old man about her
beautiful home in the country, about
the fountain and the rose garden and
the horses and carriages and the woods
and the cool springs.

angry-angry with Julia Gregg for Civ

with the friend for pulling Julia's am,
