upon the u. 5. steamer by Spanish
gunboat, Senator Hale added: SIT is
but question of time when the United
States must take possession OF the island
of Cuba. 1t not only is very desirable
piece of property, but it naturally be-
longs to this country. 1t would be
worth fully 5000 900 to the United
States. 1t would never do for Spain to
try to dispose of ii to some other nation,
for the United States would not permit
such negotiations TO be consummated
The United States should take early
steps to acquire possession of Cuba,
either by annexation or otherwise"

The post office at Washington issu-
route agents and mail clerks must reside
at one end of their routes, thus causing
much Inconvenience and expense to
these public officials. Congress wisely
concluded that this order was unreason-
able and passed law that had the effect
to nullify it. Thereupon James f.
way mail service, arises to the occa-
sion and advises railroad companies to
regard the commissions of these officers
when on their routes, only, and not give
them free transportation to and from
their home when off duty. This may be
all right, but it seems too small business
for high officials to indulge in.
