Loxpon, April 22.—The Standard says: “Wecannot doubtthatthe enthusiastic cheers which broke ont at the end of the Regent’ speech represented Span- isb feeling. But the ultimate issue is hardly open to question; Hor can there be any doubt that in the end it will be for the

TALAMAGE AS AN ARMY CHAP- LAIN.
Hopes to be Placed over a Division.
Cuwaco, April 22.—Rev. T. bDeWirr Talmage told his aon Frank that he pr - posed going to the front as an army chap- jain. He may be placed over an entire division of the army, such as the gathering at New Orleans or Chickamauga.
Dr. Talange thinks his work as chap- lain will pot keep him jong away from his regular congregation.
“The war will be very short,” he was heard to say. “Two weeks’ hard fighting will be enongh for the Spaniards, in my opinion. I hate war, and wish it could be avoided, but now we are in for it [ want to see real hard fighting and quick, decisive action.
“Ifweonly go at it as business we shall have Cuba freed before we know it.”

CUBANS AND SPANIARDS
Ought to de Allowed to Pight it Out,
New Yorx,April 20.—Capt Riley, of the Underwriter, which arrived last night from Havana with the barge Lone Star in tow, has some ideas, clear at least, in re- gard to the war sitnation.
“Everything isquiet in Havana,” he said: “There is e blamed sight more excitement in Charleston than there is in Cuba. I am surprised that the Americans should run away from Cuba ina panic, One would have thought that General Lee would bave stuck to his post.
“There is nothing to fight for,” be con- tiaued, “eacept the Maine. I have no use for the Cubans, They are as bad as the Spapiards. It would be weli to let them starve each other out and get the ieland rid of them altogether. It is no business of ours to interfere, except for the poli. ticians and #;e ulators.
