The Cuban Question in the Days 0: Pierce’s Great Secretary.Willinm Marc} -—0ther Instances of Yankee Tact ii Deauug With Foreign Powers. (By Thomas Burk: Grant.) It is the common belief in Europe that public men in the United States being called to high oflice through the choice of the maple are inferior diplo- mats to the scions ot aristocracy whc are usually trained from youth up- - wards, and for whose order the diplo- matic service is one of the great per- This was the fixed belief of the English foreign office un- til the Tories made the mistake ol hoisting their flag in Nicaragua, and taking possession of the port of a tiny American State. They no sooner did this than they were frightened out 0: their right minds by the peremptory reminder that there was such a. thing as the Monroe Doctrine still in exis— tones in this country. Lest we mighl forget the virtues of arbitration this happy means of adjusting all differ- ences was opportunely revived by them, and not only Was. arbitration meritorious in the case of Venezuela. but a large and comprehensive scheme of general arbitration was so pertina- ciously urged that one would suppose this country. would fall apart if it were not successful. Since then Great Britain has been to some extent cured of the erroneous be lief which she formerly entertained about the improvised diplomacy of the United States- I But that the belief still holds in 0th De Lome letter and from the Duke 01 Veraugua’s reference to the President, and We shall have to teach Spain the same lesson. Even Bonaparte whc was more of a democrat than the othex er parts of Europe is plain from the sovereigns of Europe, and whose sale of Louisiana indicated that he was a sincere friend of this country, could not always repress this prevailing feel- ing of European court noodles. He once remarked, referring to Chancel. lor Livingston, who was hard of hear- ing, and to John Armstrong. his suc- cessor. who could not talk French. "the United States is represented at the French. Court by deaf and dumb embassies.” The opinions Europeans entertained about our Ambassadors ex- tended also to the statesman for whom the Ambassador spoke. usually the Secretary of State.

Thua sweet hypocrisy still parried the stuns ning blow; and the practice of this form of dissimulation was in his view one of the fine points of a diplomacy that Andrew Jackson scotched in his day, but which Cleveland and Olney, McKinley and Sherman have forever made impossible in the relations of the United States with the chancellories of EurOpe, Correspondence between the United States and European foreign offices will in future be something more than merely elegant phrasing, and no EurOpean statesman like Lord Salisbury or the late Lord Granville, Win again need five menths to answer the strictly business like letter of an American Secretary of State. We have Americanized foreign offices. Among those statesmen who have distinguished themselves in this line in former perilous times are a trio whose achievements present events seem to recall—Clayton, Marcy and Seward. John M. Clayton, the first of these was General Zachary Tall/101"s Secretary of State. It is to him we are for the Clayton-Bulwer treaty which was in 1850 intended as a defense of our rights in the Isthmus against the rampant imperialism of Lord Palmerston, who was then the terror of all Europe. It is the habit in certain quarters now to discount the services of Clayton, and to say that the Clayton—Bulwer treaty, which Mr. Blaine gave notice of our in- tention to abrogate, only ties Ameri- can hands by recognizing the equal rights of Great Britain in the Nicara- guan Canal. But it must be remembered that when the Clayton-Bulwer‘ treaty W Signed, the United States was rent with the rival factions of Slavery and anti- slavery; while England having crush- ed Napoleon was preparing to cope with Russia in the Crimean War, or entering upon the fruits of her con‘ quests all over the world. The ques- tion of the annexation of Texas had also occupied the country for a num- ber of years, and a war with Mexico had just been concluded which added 500,000 square miles of territory to the Union with all the vast responsibilities such an undertaking means. 'Daniel Webster had in a quiet, infermal Way arranged the Ashburton treaty With England, adjusting the boundary be- tween New England and Canada. The United States had also for the sake of peace, surrendered the difference be- tween the 49th parallel of latitude and 59 degrees, 40 minutes in the north- west—which difference would have now entitled us to the rich min- ing regions of British Columbia-— and it was no mean triumph 0‘ Clayton’s to even thus withstand England’s demands at a time when she had scarcely abandoned her claim to search American vessels, and when .Wellington was writing to remindus— . “,You have won nothing yet which gives mu 3. right to demand on prin- ciple a territorial concession."

The 'rich women of America are abOut aspatriotic as the men, and the best evidence of this was in the recent tender of $100, 000 by Miss Helen Gould. If. is said that President McKinley has aCknOWledge the, offer of the money, but was forced 'to'declin'e it and his. suggestion Tofi presenting a ship ‘ will DI‘Obably be adopted.

Miss Chanler volunteered her services to the Red Cross before the MISS HELEN GOULD. Government made any ruling about the services of women nurses, and there is every prospect that she will see plenty of actual service before hostilities are over. Clara. Barton says the Red Cross will soon be called upon, and that it will be the judge of what nurses it Will send out- Miss Chanler will go at once to the front with Clara Barton and Mrs. Les- ser and, although not a trained nurse, will probably be taken to Cuba before any of the pther volunteers, on account, of her knowledge of the Spanish lan- guage. Miss Chanler offered her ser- vices ln the most modest way, saying that she was willing to do any service! no matter how menial. ' § The whole Chanler family has fig- ured conspicuously lately in war mat- ters. William Astor - Chanler, the brother of Miss Margaret, is fitting out a regiment. Her sister, Mary Elizabeth gave up a society wedding last- week and was married very quietly, in order to make sure that her brother and sis- ter would be present, as she feared that both might be called to the front any day. n..- For Summer Wear. Red and white foulards are like— wise shown among popular summer styles. Red is a flying color indeed when the sun blazes down .day after day and the eye seeks relief from all things and colors suggestive of heat. A white and geranium-red foulard on a cool summer afternoon, or worn on the gray Sea-beach is. however, attrac- tive enough on a youthful form. On a. Paris moled in red satin, foulard—pat— terned, with a straggling design in y'al- ley lilies and anemone blossoms, the loose-fronted bodice opens over a full blouse vest of tucked lisse, with alter- nating clusters of the narrowest black velvet ribbon in rows of three between the tucking. A touch of. black velvet l at the throat, waist and the wrists. with pleated lace frills beyond, com- pletes a. very stylish gown. The skirt is trimmed with flounces of the foul- 1 ard. The Advanced German Woman. Women in Germany seem to take up many extraordinary occupations. Ac- cording to recent statistics, there are in the happy Fatherland three “lady chimney-sweepers,” fifty-three female slaters, seven women workers in arm- oury, nineteen clockmakers, fifty road- makers, one hundred and forty-seven tinkers,, three hundred and seventy- nine blacksmiths, three hundred and nine masons, and cars thousand marble workers. There are even some who work in quarries and sewers. This says a great deal for the energies of ; German women, and perhaps not quite g so much for the energies of German men. . 1 “’atts—“Bixley is a sad wag.” Potts—“Especially when no one will ‘augh at his jokes."—-—Indianapolis Jour- 1121]. ”1'35 “ ' Mashed Potatoes. 1 Peas. ‘ ler. 1.1 N 1 N o GAZETTE .

Admiral Cervera. causes little apprehension Naval officers, through private means of communication, have pretty well satisfied themselves that the Cadiz fleet is a. paper fleet. In other words, 'its offensive power is altogether illu- si-onary. More than half the vessels whose names appear so frequently in the press dispatches as formidable war craft, are of antiquated type and in a. state of disorder. The old Numancla is an example. She is rated as a bat— tleship of the first class. Iii-her day she was a. battleship, but she has not a turret nor a sponson, and would be little more than sport for a. modern ironclad. In addition to being antiquat- ed, most of these vessels are broken down in engines and boilers. There are some vessels, although a. very few. at Cadiz, of modern type, but they are not numerous or powerful enough to give‘ our navy any serious'ooncern. Of course it is not to be understood from this that Our naval officers or} neglecting to take precautions against surprise at Santiago d Cuba.’1‘hqy have thrown scouts w ll out to the eastward of Cuba, so that they ' ' . receive quick n-oflce if any of Ithe C§z fleet was foolish enough to have star — ed a. day or two ago for the West In— dies, as is now reported from Europe. __————_.5“——-*- .
