Praise for Admiral Sampson From

( Losnes. May 23.—According to the
host expert opinion in I,ondon, if Ad
miral Corvera has gone to Santiago de
Cuba, he lias made a fatal mistake.
! Vice Admiral Philip Howard
> Columb, retired, the author of a
number of naval works, in
cluding "Tho Naval War Uarac,”
writes that he is convinced the Span
ish admiral is now unlikely to strike
at all. He adds that if he enters a
South Cuban port it will scarcely affect
the United States’ blockade, for Hear
Admiral Sampson will only have to de
tach a some nil at superior force of liis
heavier ships to cover Ccrvcras fleet,
while a group of the lightest und
swiftest vessels would be watching to
see that he did not move without being
reported, and all the rest of Hear Ad
miral Sampson s fleet could devote
themselves to the blockade of the other
Cuban ports.
Nkw Yohk, May 23. — A dispatch
from Paris to the New York World
says: There are remarkable indications
in certain Paris journals, hitherto in
imical, of a complete reversal of the
French disposition toward America.
The (iauiois, for example, extols the
cleverness with which Admiral Samp
son has maneuvered, taking advantage
of his opponent's slowness to effect a
junction with Schley and thus enable
him to divide the forces in two parts.
M. Jaures, in the Petite Hcpublique,
writes in the same strain of America's
(itlnob nn/1 ilo/iinun IdliinK
have been directed with energy and
life."
M. Jaurea derides Spain for allowing
herself to be made the sport of clerical
lam and militarism.
There is also a strong article in the
Echo de Paris, signed Henry Jinure,
calling French hostility to her ancient
friends and clients lieyond the Atlantic
foolish and illogical.
5 “France," the writer says, “is nat
urally drawn to America as a republic,
and should not give way to sudden ten
' derncss for Spain."
On the other hand, Henry Fouquier,
in the Dixncuvleme Siecle, writes in a
vein hardly short of insulting to Amer
ican women for their alleged snobbish
ness in seeking to make out a long line
of aristocratic ancestors.
ENEMY’S LOSS AT CARDENAS.

Two SjxuiUh <• tin boat* Destroyed by Shell*
From the Wilmington.
Kky Wkst, Fla., May 23.—The tug
Leyden, Ensign W. S. Crosslcy, com
mander, which picked up off Cay Pie
r dras light Wednesday night an open
boat containing live Cubans, one of
whom, Ernest Castro, had important
dispatches from General Gomez to Gen
eral Miles, put the other four ashore at
the east end of Cay bianco last night.
Castro proceeded to Tampa to deliver
H| his messages.
The Cubans put ashore had given the
officers of the tug considerable infor
mation regarding the situation in Car
denas, where they lived, since the bat
b. tie in which tire torpedo boat Winslow
was disabled and the first American
officer and sailors lost their lives. The
Spaniards' loss in the battle, the Cu
bans said, was one officer killed and
five men wounded. The officer's head
was blown off. As the result of the
battle there are no longer any Span

donas. Two of those that were there
were destroyed hy the shells from the
Wilmington, and from the third one
the guns have been removed and re
mounted on the dock behind a stone
wall built to protect them. The Span
iards, the Cubans said, have sunk
three lighters in the passage where the
Winslow went through the day of the
battle.
The Leyden landed Insurgents again
KL last night without any molestation
from shore. When picked up by the
Leyden, the Cubans had been out six
days waiting to lie picked up and were
nearly exhausted while their Issit was
all but ready to swamp.

HOW HAVANA HEARD OF MANILA
When lllsirni'i Censor Inn Out the News,
It Wm of a Spanish Victor].
Havana, May 0, via Vera Cruz. May
23.—The Spanish officers say all the
strategic points about the coast have
l-een occupied by troops and that it will
be difficult to effect landings. Ambus
cades have also lieen prepared at vari
ous [stints, and they say Havana is so
well fortified that an army of 50,000
men will be needed to re
duce the place. New entrench
ments have been thrown up,
and more heavy artillery has
been mounted, but it is diffieult to ob
tain any accurate details of such work.
Any inquiries on the subject are liable
to cause the arrest of the person put
ting the question, and newspaper men,
particularly correspondents, are con
tinually under suspicion. They are
carefully watched and it is only with
the greatest difficulty that mall letters
can bo smuggled out of the city. The
censor is more exacting than ever anil
any news which he allows to be cabled
is strictly official. The guards yes
terday captured a man who was going
out In a small fishing boat with mail
for the American fleet ami the writer is
informed that he was shot the same
afternoon.
The I’ais, organ of the Autonomist
party, says great misery prevails at
Mantan/.as and at Carilenas anil other
towns on account of the scarcity of
provisions, and the paper adds that the
country people are now in worse con
dition than they ever were before. All
sorts of misleading rumors are inten
tionally circulated by the Spanish offi
cials here for their own purposes and
the tales of Spanish repulses of Ameri
can forces come in at almost regular
intervals and from nearly every point
about the blockaded portion of the coast
to say nothing of the stories of
brilliant Spanish victories, which are
said to have reached here from abroad.
For instance, to-day a rumor traced to
the paluce said: ‘’The Spanish fleet,
after a heroic defensive battle with an
American neet at i avite. i iiiiippiiic
islands, lost two vessels and about 300
killed anil 400 wounded, after which
the Spanish officers, refusing a surren
der. and in order to prevent the Span
ish fleet from falling into the hands of
the Americans, blew up all the rest of
their vessels.”
The palace report also said the
American fleet at Manila was bom
barding that city anil that, in conse
quence, the Spanish authorities and
the garrison of Manila had retreated
into the interior. Later the following
‘•official news" was published:
“A Spanish fleet has fought heroic
ally with an American fleet at ('avite,
obliging the American fleet to retreat
with considerable loss. The Spanish
losses were also very heavy.”
Of course, the greatest interest is
taken here in the approaching meeting
between Spanish and American fleets
in these waters. The fleet from Spain
is expected at almost any moment and
is being constantly watched for. Day
and night signals are ready to guide it
safely into the harbor. It is expected
that the result of the battle will de
cide the war, and it is impossible to
make the Spaniards doubt the eventual
triumph of the flag of their country.
THE MONTSERRAT IN SPAIN.
Hlockadn Kunner* Given an Ovation on
Their Keturn Home.
Couitf.VNA, Spain, May 23.—The
Spanish auxiliary cruiser Montserrut
arriv'd here unexpectedly last evening
from Cienfuegos, having escaped the
American blockading ships. Large
crowds of people thronged the
quays and members of the crew
received an ovation when they went
ashore. The people embraced the cap
tain and officers of the steamer. 1’op
ular demonstrations followed through
out the city. The commander of the
Montserrat declared that he was not
c harged with any mission ana sam ne
was not carrying dispatches, but the
Spaniards claim that he is patriotically
concealing the facts in the case.
The Montserrat is to be sent to Fer
rol or Cadiz in order to have her guns
mounted.
Madrid, May 23.—It is asserted here
that the, Montserrat lauded 83.UOO.OUO,
1,000 soldiers, 100 guns. 15,000 rifles
and a quantity of ammunition in Cuba.

CHAPTER XVI.
O LADY AYLMER
took the letter anil
read It. "H'm.”
she muttered. "I’m
afraid the wish Is
father to the
thought, my dear
boy," she said, dry
ly. "It’s true I
had a touch of
toothache or neu
r a 1g 1 a about a
week ago, entirely because be was con
sumed with gout—though, mind, he
declares stoutly that he hasn’t tad the
gout for more than three months—and
persisted In having the window open
all the way from Leicester. Rut as for
my health or any one’s health but his
own giving him a moment's anxiety—
why, the Idea Is ludicrous, simply lu
dicrous. The gravest anxiety, Indeed.
H’m! If I were lying at the point of
death, his lordship might be anxious
till the breath was out of my body."
"That was Just what I said to—to
myself," said Dick, who had been on
the very point of uttering his wife’s
name. “However, Lady Aylmer, I am
very glad to And that you are all right
and In good health."
"Thank you, Dick,” »he replied,
holding out her hand to him; then, af
ter a moment’s silence, she suddenly
burst out, “Dick, what Is he after?"
"Lord Aylmer? I don’t know,” Dick
answered.
“He is after something: I’ve known
It for weeks, but I cannot make out
what," Lady Aylmer went on. "First,
by his persistence that he has not got
lue guui. a nave uecu luaimu tv* iu*«
a great many years, but I never knew
him deliberately deny himself the
pleasure of gloating over his gout be
fore. He must mean something by it.
I thought, of course,” she went on, with
a nonchalant air, "that there was
somebody eUe. Hut his anxiety about
my health, and his desire to pack you
off to India, where he knows you don’t
want to go, make one think differently.
In any case, go to the library and see
him, and whatever you do, my dear
est boy, don’t Irritate him. Don’t con
tradict him; tell him at once that you
don’t want to go to India—that is, If
you really don’t want to do so; but If
he Insists, take my roost serious ad
vice and temporize—put the time on
anyhow—tell him you must have a
week In which to consider the Idea.”
“Yee, I’ll do that,” said Dick, rising.
"Stay, we had better send to him
flret,” said Lady Aylmer, touching the
button of the bell. "Yes. Jenkins,
tell Lord Aylmer that Mr. Aylmer is
here and wishes to see him.”
“Best to treat him in the Imperial
way that satisfies him,” said her lady
ship to Dick, as the man closed the
door behind him. "I always do It when
I want to make him a little more hu
man than usual. I don’t do It at other
times, because he is eminently a per
son with whom familiarity breeds con
tempt."
Dick laughed outright "Very well,
I will be most careful,” he replied;
then added, "It’s awfully good of you
to give me a good tip out of your ex
perience. I have never been able to
hit It off with his lordship yet. Per
haps I shall be more fortunate this
time."
“You may be. You know, of course,
Dick, that it was your steady refusal
to marry Mary Annandale that set
him so thoroughly against you.”
“Mary Annaudale's rnonsy,” correct
ad Dick.
"Ah! yea. It fa the same thim?,”
carelessly.
“But I don’t believe Mary Annandale
would have had me," Dick declared.
"Perhaps not. Still, you never gave
her a chance, did you? Now, of course,
It is too late."
"Very much too late,” returned
Dick, promptly, and grinning good
humoredly at the remembrance of
how very much too late It was for
him to build up the fortunes of the
house of Aylmer by rneaus of a rich
wife.
He turned as the door opened agnln.
“His lordship will be pleased to see
you In the library, sir," said Jenkins.
“1 will come,” said Dick.
“And good lurk go with you,” said
Ijrdy Aylmer, kindly, as he went.
“Come back and tell me how you get
on."
Poor Dick! he did not get on very
well. He found Lord Aylmer sitting
In a big chair In the library, looking
ominously bland.
"Oood morning, sir,” said Dick.
“Oh, goed morning, Dick; «H down,
my boy,” rejoined Laird Aylmer, quite
tenderly.
Dick gave himself up for lust at
ones, but h« sat down and waited fur
"the old savage1' to go on with the

Aylmer did not speak; he moved his
left foot uaeaally, In a way distinctly

finger-nails
“You got my latter.” he remarked at
lest
"Yas I did. sir; that brought ms
here," LHch answered.
"Ah that’s al right," said the old
U-rd, Is a sstf-sauefied bw ‘Orewt

In his eye, though, of course, he
couldn't very well refuse me. Still, of
course, 1 had to tell him you were dev
ilish anxious for the appointment.”
“But I’m not devilish anxious for the
appointment,” Dick broke in at last.
“I’m not anxious for it at all.”
For a minute or two the old man
looked at him In profound amazement.
“Damme, sir, do you mean to say
you’re going to turn round on me after
all the trouble I’ve taken for you?
Damme, sir, do you mean to tell mo
that?”
"Not exactly that,” answered Dick,
still keeping Lady Aylmer's advice In
his mind, but-”
“Then what do you mean, sir?” roar
ed the old man, losing his temper al
together.
"I mean this,” said Dick, firmly; "up
to now I have, as you know, always
Bet my face against going to India. I
hate and loathe the very idea of It.
England Is good enough for me, and I
went lnlo the Forty-third on purpose
that I might not have to go to India,
or lose a lot of seniority. What I
want to know Is this; What has made
you take a lot of trouble, and put your
self under an obligation to Lord Skev
verslelgh. In order to bring about what
you know would be utterly distasteful
to me?”
I»rd Aylmer looked at Dick as If
words had failed him, but presently
he found his tongue and used It free
ly. "Damme, sir,” be roared, “do you
mean to accuse me of any sneaking,
second-hand motives? ’Pon my soul,
sir, I’ve a good mind to write to Lord
* * ri onriftu uuu onn inui iu luiioiu'
er the appointment refuged. But gay,”
as he gaw by Dick's face that this
would be the most desirable course he
could take, "I will do no such thing.
Demme, sir. I’ve had about enough of
your airs and graces. Hark you, and
mark what I say! To India you go,
without another word; or I cut off
j'our allowance from this day week,
every penny of It. As you yourself said
Just now, I go to a lot of trouble for
•you, put myself under a great obliga
tion to a friend In order to serve you,
and all the return I get for It Is that
you get on your high horse and ac
cuse me of second-hand motives.
Darnme, sir, It’s Intolerable—simply
Intolerable. And I suppose you think
I don’t know why you want to shirk
a year or two In India, eh?”
”1 don’t understand you, sir,” said
Dick, with Icy civility.
“No, no, of course not. And you
think I didn’t see you the other night
at the Criterion, and mopping your
eyes over ’David Oarrlck’ afterward.
Bah! you must think I’m a fool.”
For a moment Dick was startled, but
he did not show it by his manner In
the least. “Well, sir.” he said quietly.
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SIR?”
“I have never been In the habit of ask
ing your permission to take a lady to
a theater.”
“No,” the old savage snarled In re
turn; "nor when you wanted to start
housekeeping In Palace Mansions,
either.”
“No, sir,” said Dk-k, firmly; “nor
when I wanted to start housekeeping,
either."
“And that was why you refused to
marry Mary Annandais?” Lord Ayl
mer snapped.
"Not nt all. I refmrd to ask Miss
Annandale to marry m»* because I did
not cure about .Miss Annandale."
"Bah!” grunted the old man. In n
fury. “I suppose you believe In all
I that rot about marrying for love.”
"Most certainly 1 do."
“And you mean to do It?"
“I don’t mean to msrry anybody at
present,” said Dick, coolly. Ho felt
i more of a sneak than he h id ever felt
In all hi* life, to leave the old Rtnn
In hit belief that hta dear little Do*
| rt-thy was Ura to him than she was,
j yet he knew that for her sake, for the
I sake of her actual bodily welfare, be

I a rage of tottering fury. “Lletea It
j me, eir.” he thundered; “It may he all

j hot you wouldn’t marry the woman I
! choee for you, an t now you shall go
to India tw pay for It. It's no use your

{ ”| believe you married for o»%* your
self, str." suggested Dick, ta his ia«4
eat tones.
"And repented It before three months'
bed gone over my head, and have gone
on repenting ever since,” the old man
snarled. “Damme, sir, that woman is
never tired of throwing It at me. II
I’d married her for her money she
couldn't very well have thrown that at
me—been a fool If she had.”
There was a moment’s silence; then
the old lord went on again, "Look
here, Dick, you've got to make up your
mind to one thing—I mean you go to
India, so you may as well go with a
good grace.”
"I'll think It over," said Dick.
‘‘I want an answer now.” irritably.
"That's Impossible, sir, unless you
like to take no for an answer, right
away,” Dick replied firmly.
"I suppose you want to talk the
matter over with the young lady In i
Palace Mansions,” said the old lord, In
his most savage tones.
“I don't think that would Interest
you, whether I did or not,” said Dick,
coldly; “but one thing is very certain,
which is that I am not going to India
without thinking the whys and where
fores thoroughly over. I will come
again on Friday and tell you my In
tentions.”
“And you'll bear In mind that a re
fusal of the appointment cuts oft your
allowance at once.”
”1 will bear everything in mind,"
said Dick, steadily; and then he shut
the door, leaving the old man alone.
“Well?'' cried Lady Aylmer, when
he looked Into the little boudoir again.
"How did you get on?”
"We didn't get on at all,” Dick an
swered. “He means me to go to India
by hook or by crook.”
' "And I wonder,” said my lady
thoughtfully, “what It Is that he has In
hlB mind. No good, I’m afraid.’’
CHAPTER XVII.
FTER this inter
view It was Dick's
pleasant task to go
some ana leu uis
news to bts wife.
It bad to be done;
It was useless his
trying to shirk It,
because D o r o thy
knew why and
where he had gone,
and was too eager
to hear the result of his visit to his
uncle to let him even light a cigar
ette In peace, until she had heard all
that there was to hear; in fact, at
soon as he put his key Into the door
she flew out to meet him. “Dick, Is
It good news?" she cried eagerly.
Now Dick could not honestly nay
that It was good news, but then he
did not wish to tell her how bad It
was all at once; so he gently prevari
cated, kissed her with even more than
his usual tenderness, and asked her '.f
she had been very dull without him
and whether he had been too long
away.
His well-meaning prevarication had
exactly the opposite effect to that
which he had Intended. Dorothy’s sen
sitive heart went down to zero at
once, and the comers of her sweet Ups
drooped ominously. “Oh, Dick, It is
lead news," she said, mournfully, “and
you are trying to hide It from me.”
“No, no, I am not,” he said, hurried
ly, “but there’s no need to tell all our
private affairs out here for everybody
to hear."
“But there Isn't any everybody," said
Dorothy; “there’s only Barbara."
In spite of his anxiety Dick burst out
laughing. “Come In here, my darling,"
he said, drawing her toward the draw
ing-room; "and you shall give me a
cup of tea while I tell you all about
It.”
"And you’ve not promised to go?"
she asked, as she began to make the
tea. “No, don’t trouble, Dick, dear, it
Is lighted, and the water will boll In
two minutes.”

A NOVEL HEN PARTY.

The Boston Traveler tells of a new
kind of hen party that has found favor
In that city. It bears no resemblance
to the time-honored Idea that tea and
chitchat, gossip and smart hats, con
stitute the necessary adjuncts to t*iese
particular gatherings. The Interest
centers about a real live hen of feath
ers, her chicks and her eggs. The
party originated In this fashion: A
young bride and groom took a house
In the suburbs and went to housekeep
ing. A mischievous friend called to
gee them and discovered on the prem
ises a deserted hennery, which sug
gested an Idea to his fertile brain.
He at once communicated his Idea to
other friend*, who arranged secretly
for a genuine hen party. On a pleas
ant day the invited guests met at ths
railway station and proceeded In a
body to ths new horns. Ka<.h one car
ried a llv* hen. a chick or a down
