lantado himself There was no glamour of
sentiment over his vision, particularly
when the failure of the expedition be-
came apparent to it. He, on his side, is
methodcal in minimizing the Indians
and the country-and the Spaniards in
comparison with the Portuguese. When
he praises he praises God alone; and the
only heroic deeds in the Conquest are at
tributed to Him, without whom not
Spaniard would have left Florida alive.
His long list of villages along the line
of march suggests that the Portuguese
gentleman wrote from carefully preserved
memoranda. The Inca gives fewer
names, but his spelling of them is more
in accord with our pronunciation to-day.
Many of these Indian names remain to-
day and serve as landmarks to trace the
general line of De Soto's march. The pre-
else line of the march has given rise to
infinite discussions with the concomitant
advantage of much jealous research and
patient investigation of Indian antiquities
and traditions and local features that
might throw light upon it.

of American history are replete with SO
many momentouS events as have been
crowded into 1898. and all of them have
been handled in the Daily News Almanac
for 1899 with a conscientious regard for
both truth and their Importance. A cur
sorry glance at the table of contents shows
the volume to contain a fair and concise
account of the Spanish-American war,
with valuable articles on the Philippine
Islands. Porto, Rico, Cuba and the La
drones. The whole subject of the annexa-
ton of Hawaii, supplemented by a de-
scription of the agricultural, mineral and
industrial value of the islands, is given
the Importance it deserves.
The movement for the dismemberment
of China and Africa are among the for
eign subjects that add interest to the
pages of the volume, while the Jewish
movement toward Palestine is given a
place that will be appreciated by others

HTEW YORK, Jan. 3O.-Anthony
N Hope keeps very steadily at work
M these days. / have word from
England that he has lately com
Il pleted a new novel-one that
promises to be especially interest
ing, because 1t gives us the two Anthony
Hopes in one No one who has read both
the Dolly Dialogues and The Prisoner
of Zenda" needs to have it pointed out to
him that there are two Anthony Hopes
one a humorist of such persistence that
you might think he could never be seri-
Gus, and the other a romancer of so much
sentiment and heroism that you might
think he could never be gay. In this new
novel, my information is, there is all the
lightness and liveliness of the Dolly
Dialogues and also the same aff1uence OF
sturdy adventure that marks the Zenda
tales. 1t is rather a short novel, under
stand, and it is to bear the name Of its
hero, Captain Dieppe."
With the native ability for novel writ
ing given, there need be no wonder that
Anthony Hope should produce good
stories with the readiness that he does,
for he pprsues his work with the pune
tuality OF a bank clerk. To friend who
called on him recently in his London
chambers he said: Il reach here at
quarter to 10 in the morning and work on
till in the afternoon, or even later. l do
formed each day, but work rather by time
and take what heaven sends. l am a
quick worker, and, though l never re-
write, L revise carefully and am very
fdgetty over my work"
To this same friend he avowed that he
was not much OF a reader-and this. l
think, would be the confession of ma
jority of the writers of stories. When
he does read he prefers novels, and Kip
ling, Meredith and Stevenson are his
tavorite authors.
Stephen Crane returned a few days ago
from. Cuba, where for some months he
had been making special studies of the
inner life of the people, partly in the in
terest of New York newspapers, but more
own future work as a story writer and
novelist. He showed very plainly the eff
fects of his campaigning; he had min
gled symptoms of Cuban fever and New
York grip, and altogether presented him
self in such bad shape that his friends
were much concerned for him. But he did
not allow their sympathies to be stirred
by his aspect long. He remained here
only two or three days, and then set sail
for England. His present intention is to
the sojourn that was broken off so sharp
~ when the beginning of the war drew
him home and then on into the field at
Santiago. But present intentions don't
hold very vigorously with Mr. Crane, so
he may be back in the United States in
no time. He is a most industrious seek
er of impressions. and, happily for his
impulse, his relations leave him perfectly
free to come and go as he will. He lives
entirely by his pen. and yet free, as a
rule, of any close-binding connection with
journals; and so he may choose time and
place almost with the latitude of a man
of leisure. instead of the extremely hard
working author that he is.

In handling, the subject the author has
put romance enough into it to make a
novel; at the same time she has stuck to
facts. Her style is graphic and readable,
and the book is a valuable addition to the
literature of the day.
For her mode of telling her story and
her point of view the author has this to
say:
AS long as there have been in this
world two men telling the same story.
there have been two ways of telling that
story and If there are two readers, there
will be just so many ways of believing it.

The Inca, as half Indian naturally looks
upon the native of Florida with a more
sympathetic eye than does the Portuguese
