WASHINGTON, Sept lathe Wash
ington Post, upon assurances that srs
OF undeniable authority, printed yes.
terday this editorial statement with
respect to the condition Of the treas.
ury:
Whatever the syndicate may have done In
the past, or may continue to do In the future,
we have the best Of reason for believing that
the administration will not under any circun-
stances permit the national credit 10 be i'm
periled or impaired So long as, from
any cause, the gold reserve IN the
treasury remains In o satisfactory
condition, well and good But the
American people may bs sure that under ~
circumstances will that reserve b permitted
TO dwindle beyond the point Of safety Ne
matter what tlmid alarmists may say or fear
TO the contrary, the government win protect no
treasury and maintain Ito solvsncy q any and
every cost Dyndicates may OF nay rot restore
the gold drawn out by schemers and specu-
lators, or claimed IN the way Of legitimate and
reputable business Congress may Or may not
relieve the situation by intelligent and patri-
otic legislation But whatever happens the
present administration will meet Ito
responsibility In the premises and will
Keep the national credit safe, the
national honor intact The sold
supply will be recruited II necessary, W the
extent Of 800 million dollars or, II occasion DE-
mands and prudence warrants, 10 % even
greater extent But II will be recruited,
and 1t will DO preserved to the end Of
the chapter, Some day congress will rise
TO the level Of Its duty and Mt this
perilous and shameful burden from
the nations shoulders Until then the admin
istratioa will stand between the people and
their recreant creatures ct the capitol. There
need be no apprehension In financial quarters,
no foolish flight from fancied catastrophe.
The credit Of the United States Is In no dan
ger whatever and no danger will DO suffered TO
approach It,
OUR POLICY IN REGARD TO CUBA
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The sensa.
tional stories being sent from here
that there will be radical change of
policy on the part Of the administra.
ton toward the Cuban revolutionists
are discredited in official circles, al
though 1t is probable there may have
been some discussion at the state depart
ment as to what position this govern
ment would be compelled TO take in
the event Of Cuba declaring her indie
pendence and organizing under
republican form Of government.
At present the friendly rela-
tlons between the United States
and Spain continue unbroken
and Senior Dupuv de LONE, the
Spanish ambassador, has received as.
from the secretary of state
that the present policy Of neutrality
will be maintained. Filibusters will
not be permitted to make their prepa-
rations to aid the Cuban cause on
American soil, and there will be no re-
taxation Of the orders already issued
in this regard.
Should the Cuban revolutionists sue
need in overthrowing the rule Of Spain
and republic be established, 1t would,
Of course promptly request recognition
from this country. That this recog.
,ition would be accorded Is gener.
lily believed, but 1t Is altogether a
lifferent thing for the United States
% take the initiative and declare
hat it recognizes the Cubans as bel
igerents. TO do SO would mean d.
'ect falling out with Spain. This
would not necessarily entail a declara-
ion of war with the Spanish govern
nent, but it would entirely destroy
what diplomats call the entente cor
liale, and necessitate the recall OF the
spanish minister to this country.
NO FEAR OF PLAQUES.
WASHINGTON, Sept. i6.-Dr, Wyman,
Of the marine hospital
ervice feels assured that all possible
precautions have been taken to pre-.
'ent any epidemic of cholera or
'ellow fever lie says the cool
Weather will do great deal to keep
nut the yellow fever, and probably
he country having escaped SO far
here need be no fear Of an invasion
4 this late date in the year. The doc
or says the cold weather will not in
erfere materially to prevent the spread
# cholera, and that close watch will |
AVE to be kept upon all posts where
here is a possibility Of cholera being
Introduced.
II0RNBLowER WILL BE NAMED.
