| WAsHrNGToN.-There is reason to believe
that Secretary Fish will soon retire from the

the departure in views Is daily growing wider.
HIS retirement is, therefore, Inevitable. The
President, beyond doubt, has determined to
interfere in Cuban affairs without regard to
cost. 1t is probable that by the time Congress
reconvenes the Presidents purposes will be ripe
for publcity.-Every day Increases the con-
tidence of the friends of the Texas Pacific Rail-
