Madrid, March 9.—The news that Congress has uvanimously appropri- ated the enormous sum of $50,000,- 006 for the use of President McKin- ley for preparations for war has created a profound and disquieting inapression being regarded as almost a direct provocation for war. Im- mediately upon the receipt of the information that the President bad made the application for the appro- priation, orders were issued to retain the flotilla of torpedo boats at home, as they could in no event be of great service in Cuban waters, and might be captured in transit, as they would be unarmed. All vided for the defense of Spain, as the Spanish Government fears that attack would not be made upon Cuba alone, but proceed across the sea.

And yet Mr. Cleveland did not plunge us into war. In the middle of Mr. Cleveland’s last term Great Britain tried to grab some land in Venzuela. In accord- ance with the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine, Mr Cleveland, in collabor ation with his secretary of state, | Mr. Richard Olney of Boston, said this, among other things, in an of- ficial note to the British Premier, Lord Salisbury: “Oensidering Great Britain’s as sertion of title to the disputed ter- |AT THE GRAVE OF HIS SWEETHEART. | A white Paaier tee by two March 4, 1893, to March 4, 1897. | carriages, turned intothe Broadway the C | gate of Calvary Cemetery, one day in March, 1894 Down the main | drive the little procession weaded, then turned into aless traveled road }and finally stopped ata spot in the | more wooded portion of the burial place, where the grass was some- what rank and there were few graves aud no fine A plain casket was drawn from the hearse and borne to a newly opened grave.

Flowers were planted snd a pretty border put around the mound by the wo- man who represented the lover of the dead girl. Then the flowers began to droop and die.

The headstone leaned over toward ths hollow of the grave until the chance passer, desiring to read the insc:iption, was compelled to stoop ever and under it. Eri- dently Mabel Lse was forgotton.
