en- labios del senior Hernandez Lopez,
con motive de un banquete que ofrecie-
ia ell Gobernador 4 los delegados.
Pero esa nota, debii y susurrante,
es diffcil que Sc mantenga energica y
sostenida entire ell estampido horripilan-
te de los canones.
La experiencia-gran maestro ole la
vida-nos ofrece motivos en- abundancla
para creerlo as1.
I'm brindis es un brindis, como
dirfa aquel personaje de SCI Loco Dios. ,
q Y cuantos brindis sc han hecho
que despu6s no Sc han cumplido!1
Ell senor Egozcue es una autoridad
en- la materia puede darnos la medida
la pauta en- este case.
De ell de muchos sabemos como
brindaban antes Y como brindan ahora !;
pero no como brindaran despues, maxi
me 81 tras de haber salido de la monar-
qufa para entrar en- la rep1blica, sali-
mos de esta para ingresar en- el lmpe-
rio. -.
Nuestro porvenir es incierto; pero
no importa mientras haya gente adap-
table todos los cambios de situacion y
Sc resignen y amolden todos los siste-
mas, hallando optimo, inmejorable ell
1ltimo, siempre que Sc les permita man
gonear, vivir de la santa n6mina.
Esos seres bienaventurados y fell
ces bailaran siempre al son que le to-
quen, con tanta mayor razon 81 ese
son Sc mezcla ell tin TIN sonoro y triun-
fal de la cancion sugestiva de los fori-
neS....
Sabido es que, por desgracia, para
la mayorfa de los puertorriquefos esa
caRci6n es desconocida, Y tenemos que
conformarnos con repetir melancolica
mente la pregunta de Enrique Heine:
<iD6nde estais, forines de orc? p
Donde?
Contestemos con ell poeta:
~En las garras de milano
de IN implacable usurero.>
Fig1rese, pues, ell lector que ocu-
rrira 81 en- muchos ofdos llega q sonar ell
tin tin sonoro, aunque proceda este de
manos de un htisar barbudo Y terrorffico!
La desbandada de los y01lhif60s es

AMERICAN RABBITS
STAND BY SABBATH
Declare Ii a Fundamental Institution
OF Judaism.

DETROIT. Mich. July 4.-The Central
Conference of American Rabbis went on
rec~rd on the Sabbath question yester-
day by adopting this amendment TO the
report OF the Sabbath commission:
This conference declares itself in IA
vor Of maintaining the historical Sab
bath as a fundamental institution OF Ju-
daism. and of eXerting every effort to
improve its observance. and instruct the
executive committee to appoint a special
committee TO study methods of carrying
this into effect"
In its report the commission had this
20 say:
This conference decides that a trans
fer of Sabbath TO Sunday, however much
opposed by sentiment. presents to the
student of historg no element of danger
that the fundamental truths of the Jew
ish faith might be affected by such a
transfer or that the solidarity of the
people Of Israel might be disturbed.
AT the same time. this conference
feels that il has no right 10 make an
authoritative decision as to the facts,
but would prefer reference of this all
important question to an authority as
heretofore defined"

BULGARIA WARNED
AGAINST FIGHTING
May Lose Support of Europe by
Belligerency.

LONDON. July A dispatch from
Vienna says that on receiving the Bull
gaTian note on Wednesday, protesting
against the massing of Turkish troops
on the Bulgarian frontier and accusing
Turkey OF seeking an international con-
hict. Count Goluehowsky, the Austrian
chancellor, said emphatically that the
powers would never allow Turkey to at
tack Bulgaria, but warned Bulgaria that
should she provoke hostilities she would
lose the sympathy and support of all
Europe.
A similar intimatioD has been convey
ed to Bulgaria from St. Petersburg
a semi official statement was issued
in Sofia as follows:
Contrary to the denials OF the porte.
the concentration continues on the Bull
garian frontier of strong detachmsnts
Of Turkish infantry. cavalry and artu-
iery.
The endeavors of Turkey to deny
these authenticated facts, while stimuli
taneously re-enforcing the detachments,
which cannot be necessary in fghting
revolutionists, tend to show that Turkey
is Intentionally concealing the true OBJ
jects of these military measures and is
misleading Europe by circulating false
reports regarding Bulgaria and her in
tentions."
