BELIEF THAT THE QUESTION WILL BIZ SETTLED BY
DIPLOMACY.
HAVANA, Nov. 2l.-The Diaro says: 1--WE do not
consider it within the bounds of justice or reason
that war should result from the capture of the Viz
qinius and it's legal consequences. But if the con-
ict comes let us emulate the examples of Carthage,
Numancis, and Saguntum, and make the Spanish
race in Cuba the admiration Of the American hem-
sphere"
The Yos de Cuba believes the question will be
settled by diplomacy. Nevertheless. it praises the
activity of tho artillery aud engineer corps in re-
ase oixth Pare.

Gen. Sickles has suspended preparations which he

DISPATCHES RECEIVED BY THE SECRETARY OF
sIArE-MoB ABOUT THE AMERICAN LEGATION
OFFICIAL ADvICEs STATE TIE INTENTION OF THE
SPANISH GOVERNMENT TO MAINTAIN FRIENDLY
RELATIONS.
IGESrRAL PRESS DIsPArCHl
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-Dispatches received by
the Secretary of State do not fully confirm the spe
cial kilograms from Madrid regard to the situa-
ton there There have been demonstrations against
Minister Sickles but the Secretary is of the opinion
that the specials are somewhat exaggerated. mob
which collected in front of the American Legation
was promptly dispersed by the Government, and
there doubt here in official circles but that the
authorities at Madrid are fully capable of prevent
ing any outbreak.
The position of Minister Sickles is very uncomfort
i
offered as Mr. Sickles telegraphs that the Spanish
officers are equal to the emergency.
Minister Sickles is hourly in communication with
the State Department and his dispatches indicate
the existence Of very strong feeling against the
United States. Mr. Fish submitted a number of tel
earams from Minister Sickes to the Cabinet meeting
to-day and the session, which has just begun is
probably one of the most interesting and serious
meetings since the commencement of the present
complications.
The members Of the Cabinet this morning seem to
be very serious in their demeanor, and there seems
to be more extended discussion in all places as to
the probabilities Of war than has yet been noticed.
At the same time so far as has yet been made
known, the official adyces from Spain have not
varied in the assertions of the honesty OF the in
tentions Of the CASTELAR, Government to preserve
friendly relations and to command calmness and
dignity during the progress Of the negotiations.
The excitement of the populace in Madrid does not
seem to be shared by the Government there, as is
evnced by the expressed opinion Of the Secretary OF
State here that there Is eXaggeration IN the I'M
official reports and the assertions of Mr. Sickes that
The Spanish Government is able TO and has sup
pressed hostile indications against the American
Legation at Madrid.

Corn for Fuel.

The cost OF marketing the product of
The western cornfelds enables the Council
Bluffs Qowo) Nonpareil to make the fol-
lowing statement:
We are glad TO see that many OF our
citizens are taking advantage of the low
price of corn to lay in heavy supplies OF
il for fuel. We have experimented with
Il the last week, aud fad that il is an adj.
mirable substitute Tor both wood and coal
aud that at present prices there is both
economs and comfort in its use.
4 ton of cora, SO bushels, at IL cents
per bushel, is So 60. We consider this
equal to cord of hard wool, as supplied
and measured in our market at 81; the
cutting OF this cord, $3.50; total. $3.50,
thus making a saving of IS cord.
For kitchen fuel it is superior To wood,
except hickory, and cheaper than that. II
makes Il very hot fire with a great deal oI
blaze. We Judge that three tons are
equal TO the heat of enc ton of hald coal,
while in economy oil u-ci Is equal 10 one
and a half tous of coal Ia small fam
lilies and small houses there l. always q
waste o! hard coal. While there is none in
the use OF corn
