Blanco from Manzanillo asking for 50,000 more men to begin op+ erations again on the Cautoriver. Gen. Blanco cabled Pando’s demand to Spain, and this answer was received Saturday from Senor Sagasta: ‘“Notasingle man more can be sent to Cuba.” The failure of Pando azd the reply of Spain to his request are considered as the first step toward the Spanish eyacudtion of Cuba. It is reported from Santiago de Cuba that Gen. Pando is greatly disheartened on account of the obstacles which prevented a successful campaign against the insurgents in’ that province. He declares that he has no base of gperations, the insurgents’ control being so complete that it is impossible to convey supplies to Spanish columns operating in the interior of the province. Gen. Pando is said to be convinced that the insurgents of Santiago de Cuba province will not accept autonomy. When he was in Spain he did not realize that the insurgents in the province had such strength. : Madrid, Jan. 3.—The cabinet has decided that the trial of Gen. Weyler, late captain general of Cuba, by court:martial is imperative. .The action of the ministry in this matter is grounded upon the fact of Gen. Weyler’s breaches of the law in having furnished for publication a protest against the references made to Spain and the Cuban question by President McKinley in his message to the United States congress.

Weyler admits Having given to the press a protest against McKinley’s references to Spain and Cuba, and particdlarly against his own administration as governor of Cuba, but denies the illegality of his utterances. : Gen. Weyler called at the palace in order to personally .apologize to the queen regent and exculpate himself from the charge of having sent copies of his protest to the queen on the subject of President McKinley’s message. to the newspapers. The director Ofi the Nacional says that as a personal friend of Gen.

A new Bible was open on a table, and upon it the secretaries took the oath of fidelity to the queen, the monarchy and the Spanish government, placing their right hands on the Bible and kneeling as they repeated the words required. Galvez, president of the cabinet, was first sworn in, and fhen ‘the oath was administered to the others. To Marshal Blanco’s inquiry: “Do you swear fidelity to Spain, the queen and Spanish institutions?” all replied: “We do.” At the conclusion of the ceremonies the captain general remitted the death penalty imposed upon persons who had been donvicted of common crimes. Cable messages of congratulation were exchanged during the day between Senor Sagastiz, premier |of Spain, and Marshal Blanco.& The first resolution adopted by the new cabinet was to send a cable message to the queen regent of Spain offering their respects and pledging loyalty to the crown.

- Washington, Jan. 3.—The president is taking occasion to assure members of congress that he does not think there is any neéd of action by the legislative branch of the government regarding Cuba. He told a western member two (daysagothatthe Cuban question seemed “to. be working itself out; that he did not expect to advise any legislation, and that he did net think the United States should do anything at this time beyond the relief work. - Members of congress ‘have noted a feeling of strong hopefulness on the president’s part that the ‘war will not be of much longer duration. The president does not predict what the outcome will be, but he shows 'that he believes the solution is not iY‘ar off. He takes a more sanguine view tth at any previous time since his inaugura- \ tion. Of one thing he seems to.be whol1y confident, and that is that there isno ‘ longer any danger of an open rupture ,between this government and Spain over Cuba. He makes no concealment of his satisfaction that all indications point [to a rapidly approaching end of the war without involving this govern‘ment in serious complications with Spain. e ~

. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. | International Lesson for January 91,4 1898 — Jesus Tempted — Matthew 4:1-11. [Arranged from Peloubet’s Notes.] GQOLDEN TEXT.—For in that Hé Himgelf hath suffered being tempted, He isable to succor them that are tempted.—Heb. 2:18. TlME.—Probably about January, A. D. 27, directly after His baptism. LESSON NOTES. The Initiatory Battle and Testing.— As the first Adam, the head of the race, must be tempted and tested at the beginning of his career, so must the second Adam, the head of the redeemed people of God, be tempted and tested at the beginning of his work. T 1. “Then:”immediately after His baptism and “full of the Holy Ghost” “was Jesus led up of (by) the Spirit:” Under some constraining influence that showed Him what He ought to do. “To be tempted of the devil:” The slanderer, the false accuser,; one who seeks by false and lying means to injure others,, misrepresenting God, distorting the truth. ' ' , Temptuation Through the Appetite.— 2. “Fasted forty days and forty nights:” Both Mark and Luke say He was tempted all these forty days, probably in the same general way as the last three great assaults now to be described. He was probably thinking, praying, planning. ‘‘“de was afterward a hungered:” Whexn the reaction has begun, hunger asserts its claims witha force so terrible that (as has been shown again and again in human experience) such moments are fraught with the extremest peril to the soul. 3. “The tempter came to Him:” Satan made his severest assault in the time of Jesus’ greatest weakness. He still watches his time, and attacks us ‘wheén weary, sick, troubled, disheartened, nervous and weak. “If thou be ‘the Son of God:” if you realiy are God’s ‘Son, and hence are possessed of miraculous powers, “command that these stones be made bread:” The wrong was not in turning stones into bread, but in doing it when He ought not to, at the instigation of Satan, at the expense of higher things. It would have destroyed His power and mission as a Saviour of men. He could not then be tempted like as we are if He used His supernatural power to save Himself from hunger, for wehaveno such power. 4. “It is written:”in Deut. B:3,quotedfrom the Greek translation. ‘“Man shall not live by bread alone:” By food for -the body. : | o .

The Temptation to Gain Good Things by a False and Presumptuous Faith.— Vs, 5-7. &. “Taketh Him up into the holy city:” Jerusalem, literally, or in spirit. “On a (the) Einnacle (or rather, wing) of the temple.” , 6. “If thou be the Son of God:” Thus planting a doubt in His mind. “Cast Thyself down:” Muto the court of the temple among the crowds. It was presented as showing His faith in God, and giving the assurance that He was the Son of God, if God sent His angel to care for Him. Then, too, the people, seeing Him coming down safely from the height, would hail Him as prophet and make Him king, as they tried to do after He fed the 5,000. “For it is written” (Psa. 91:11): He quotes this passage, and misapplies it, to show that Jesus could do it safely, and succeed in proving His Messiahship. Many 4 temptation has come from misapplying Scripture; | T 7. “It is written (Deut. 6:l6¥again:" On the other hand, as explaining the words you quote. ‘“Thou shalt not tempt the TLord thy God:” That is, distrust God or test His power presumptuously. - .. , Temptation to Gain Success, Even Good Objects, by Wrong Doing.—B. “The devil taketh Him up into an exceeding high mountain:” Probably in spirit, in vision, for there is no mountain so high that all the kingdoms of the earth can be seen by the bodily eye. It was in some kind of vision that Satan showed him, in a moment of time, “all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of'them:” The kingdom of power and law in Rome, with its splendid court and triumphant armies; the kingdoms of literature, art and culture in Greece; the “barbaric gems of gold” cof the Orient; and possibly a vision of the future with its glorious civilizations, with its redeemed peoples, fulfilling all that the prophets foretold, or John on Patmos saw of the new heavens and the new earth. ,

9. “All these things will I give thee:” In a measure Satan did have these things, - Christ later called him the prince of this nvorld. “If thou wilt fall down and” worship Me:” Satan does not mean a bald ac¢t of worship, a bending in outward reverence to the grim King of Darkness. Rather, Satan asked such an act of worship as men give when they worship money, by loving it better than God; when they worship success, by placing it before duty; a real, not a formal, worship. Satan is too shrewd to insist on the form if he can gain the heart. v 10. “Get thee hence, Satan:” It was by this proposal that Satan revealed himself. “For it is writtén (Deut. 6:13), Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God:” There is none other worthy of worship. 11. “Then the devil leaveth Him:” vanquished. Luke adds, “for a season.” “And behold, angels ministered unto Him:” '‘Gave Him food, as in the case of Elijah (1 Kings 19:5); and at the same time companionship, sympathy and the assurance that God and Heav#n were on his side.

INTERESTING MISCELLANY.

Mr. F. Abel, of Freeport, N. Y., witnessed a fight between about 300 sparrows and a skunk, at Merrick. After the first onslaught of the birds, the skunk fled for 100 yards, but the plucky little sparrows pursued him, attacked him in a body, and in less than a minute he was torn to shreds. '

A long speech, comprising over 70,~ 000. words, was lately delivered in the Australian parliament, by Dr. Lecher.

To establish a kissing record, a young gentleman in Berlin attempted to take 10,000 kisses in tén hours from his sweetheart’s lips.
