1 Tho Portuguese government, as tho de

government of tho United Slates and to
Orent Britain, tho claimants, altogether, In
addition to tho .ClS.OiM paid on account In
tho sum of 18.3H.0M francs In legal

CiiiixHc L'oiuiiicntn In London on the
SinnllnoMM of Aunrit.
U1NDON, March 30. Tho Times, com
mentlng upon tho award at Boroev says:
"Tho company nnd Its creditors will doubt
lets consider tho sum awarded far from ade
quate, but It Is probably as much as thoy
can reascnably expect to recover and a
much as Portugal can expect to ralsu with
out aftdstanco."
Commenting on the needless delay In tho
proceedings the Times goes on to say:
"It is believed that Portugal some tlmo
ago made provisions for meeting tho greater
purl of tho gum awarded. Thero Is nothing
but sympathy for Portugal In this country.
Bho linn done a wrong to Hrltlah and Amer
ican subjects, but It Is manifest that aho
did not do It of her own free will. She was
acting under ft degreo of pressure, which
verged upon durens, pressure consistently
Applied, It may be. noted, for objects avow
edly polltlo and nvowedly hoxtllo to Hrltlsh
Influence, not from tho time of tho Jameson
laid, but from tho tlmo Kruger was negotiat
ing the Ixindon convention.
"Should Portugal In these conditions imex
Vivtcdly experience dirtWiltlrs in making
tho necessary paymcn.n there can bo no
f
doubt that HrKlsh capital would gladly como
to the assln'.ance of our old ally."
Tho Standard ays:
"It would bo asking too much of human
naturo to expect that the aggrieved parties
will pub.nlt to their fato cheerfully. Tho
bill of costs will make a largo hole in tho
award and It Is safe to n.iy for every sov
ereign tho claimants will receive they had
built hepes on at Icao: three and probably
more."
Tho Dally Mall:
"Tho boundless procrastination of the tri
bunal it l difficult to explain, for not the
smallest trace of equity can bo discovered in
tho award of tho beggarly 000,000 awarded
as ccmpensatlon for a concession valued nt
(5.000.000. Wo fear tho arbitrators allowed
themsclvea to bo prejudiced against DrltUh
Interests by the Irrational nnglophobla which
han scUcd upon tbo Swiss people. Hy thtlr
conduct the arbitrators have struck a deadly
blew at arbitration."

cause for complaint, but It American pork
Is discriminated against we will have Rood

reason for excluding it, as it Is the best In

At 12 o'clock I walked across the palacs
for breakfast, says a writer In the Nine
teenth Century. Upon u small table In the
lut 1 1 wns snrend a white cloth 'nnd on this
h young nlnntnln leaf, whose light green
color, polished surface nnd tender tracery
of veins made It only too beautiful a cover
ing for n table devoted to nny'materlal pur
pose. Upon this leaf were twenty cups,
each with its spoon, and six tall classes
and Immediately In front of the chair a
silver dish. First two Brahman cooks, with
cloth around their loins nnd tho sacred
thrend across their shoulders, offered vari
ous sweetmeats In ft llttlo sliver dish. The
rajah and his mother, of eourne, ato noth
ing, but they sat as host nnd hostess In
chairs near tho table and tho children
grouped themselves upon thn elevated
plinth, below -which the table was placed.
There they laughed and talked and played
with the lilies 1 had picked In the morning.
To do me lienor thf' had dresned In their
cloths of gold and Je vels.

propriately turned chiefly upon domestic af

COWAKIMCH OX Till! I'lltl.Mi MM!.
Whole Ilrnliacnl nf .Men Kiinwn to
Have Hun Attny from n KIkIiI.
"There arc, no doubt, very many cases of
individual cowardice on tho battlefield," said
nn old army officer to a Philadelphia Times
man, "but very fow have come under my
Immediate notice, nnd the world rarely hears
of them. There nrc, however, cases on rec
ord in which a whole regiment has turned
tall nnd lied from sheer fright before a sin
gle shot had been fired, and some of these
regiment" have atoned for their lapse from
bravery -by n reckless courage which has
later covered thorn with glory.
"Ono of tho bravest of all the regiments
that fought in tho .American civil war bolted
to a man tho very tlrot time thoy came faco
to face with the enemy. It was at Shlloh
that tho Fifty-fifth Illinois regiment received
Its baptism of fire. In that battle It was de
tached from tho mnln body to tnko up n po
sition on tho Tennessee river on the extromo
left flank of tho army nnd n mile distant
from supports. It was the regiment's first
experience of battle, and not a man of them
all had probably ever seen blood shed In
anger.
"The regiment had scarcely taken up Its
position when Chaimer's brigade was sent
to drive it out, and made a furious onslaught
on It, to tho accompaniment of a murderous
fire of shells. Tho Fifty-fifth, however, did
not wait for tho attack, but, seized bv panic,
bolted 'like ono man' to the shelter of a
neighboring ravine. Hero thoy wero with
tho utmoAt dlfflculty formed Into a square,
nnd recovering their ncrvo ns quickly ns
they had lost it received tho enemy's at
tack with the greatest coolness nnd bravery,
repulsing tho confederate cavalry again and
again with heavy loss.
"During tho rest, of the campaign there
wcro no braver men In Sherman's army than
the Fifty-fifth, and, although In less than
threo years' fighting they lest 157 men, they
were nlwayo the most eager to meet the
enemy and most difficult to withdraw.
"It was In the same battle that another
very brave regiment, tho Thirty-second In
diana, showed tho white feather, and came
perilously near to disgrace. It fell to this
regiment to clear the front line of battle, a
task calculated to make the bravest soldiers
'blanch. They were formed Into double col
umn, with skirmishers, and plunged Into a
wood, where thoy were Immediately greeted
with u hall of bullets from the main body
of the enemy on tho right and from men In
ambush on the left. As man after man fell
tho column faltered and broke, and began
to rush to cover In tho utmost disorder.
They mere rallied with difficulty and again
tho column proceeded, only to break and fly
a second time.
"At this stage Colonel Wllllch again col
lected bis men, held them at attention and
then made them go through tho manual
drill as coolly as It he were on the parade
ground, although a perfect tornado of bul
lets was whistling and shrieking about their
heads. This steadied the men. as nothing
else could have done, and when they had
recovered their nerve they reformed column
and Bhoulder to shoulder they proceeded with
their task as coolly as If they woro taking
part in maneuvers.
"In tho Franco-Prussian war one of tho
finest and bravcet of the Prussian cavalry
regiments was seized with an unaccountable
panic. It found itself unexpectedly am
bushed hy French Infantry, and without the
slightest attempt at retaliation turned tail
and fled pell-mell, leaving Its colors and its
colonel behind to take care of themselves.
And yot this very regiment in later battles
covered Itself with almost more glory thnn
any other In either of tho contending armies.
"It Is a curious thing, but I have never yet
met a brave soldier who has not confessed
to a feeling of positive fright when he first
faces an enemy, Just as, I understand, tho
most eloquent speakers always feel nervous
when they first face an audience. Of course
tho feeling quickly vanishes under the influ
ence of excitement, and tho men who nro
naturally mcst nervous are usually the most
daring and reckless In action. I remember
a confidential chat I had a day or two bofore
the battle of Tel-cl-Koblr with a young
subaltern fresh from Sandhurst. He was a
small, delicate-looking fellow, fitter for the
study than tho battlefield, and he was full of
all kinds of nervous fears. He was 'a born
coward' he told me, with tears almost start
ing to his eyes. At Eton he had bcon bullied
nil round and never had the pluck to retali-
ltc. Ho bad never struck a blow in anger in
his life and ho 'was suro he would disgrace
himself forever' In his first fight, which was
then Imminent.
"Of courso I tried to cheor him up as host
I could, but he had absolutely no confidence
In himself. I saw him Just before the fight
began, looking pitifully white nnd haggard,
and I never saw him again alive, but I heard
that ho had fought like a hero and that he
bad lost his life In a gallant effort to save
ono of his men ivho had been unhorsed and
was surrounded by tho enemy."
