ENCOURAGING PROSPECT.
Consul German Reports Tn a
Happy Frame of Mind.
San Antonio Express.

submitted report to the De
partment of State, which was
written when Mr.. German was
in happy frame of mind. 1t
is not upon the lines of dry
and ancient history that he has
outlined this report, but with
the eye of a prophet he takes a
glimpse into the future and
transmits his bright horoscope
to Washington.
He sees-a vast feet of ocean
steamers passing back and forth
across the spot where the erst-
while Arkansas Bar hid its
treacherous outlines in the
playground of the tarpon. He
sees a canal extending from We
lasco to the Rio Grande through
the shallow intercoastal waters
of Texas, and incidentally a
vast army of men laying rail
road iron in n feverish haste to
grab some of the tide water
traffic.
He sees stretching out far to
the southwark a line of rail
road filled with loaded rolling
stock. driving the trade now
going to Tampico, into the fu
ture port of Arkansas Pass; and
this is not all, for to his opti-
mistic ear the whistle of the
engine on the Rio Grande "pick
ct line" is loud and shrill and
the pick of the coal miner at
Baroteran makes music in the
air; and still this is not all, for
he sees the Florida fruit farms
abandoned by their owners in
view of the competition from
the eastern coast of Mexico.
Mr.. German is all right, and it
would be better for the United
States if we had a few more
such cousuls with a prophets
eye.
Actual conditions would in
cline the traveller in that par
ticular region to regard Mr..
German as slightly enthusiasts
tic, to say the least, but a care
full study of all the influences
at work will result in the be-
lief that Mr.. German speaks
the truth, with the only fault
of a slight prematureness. Flu
ture consuls to come will report
as matter of course statistics,
the dreams of this consul of
1895, and people viii wonder
why it is necessary to print at
public expense what everybody
knows. Mr.. Germans report is
an oasis in a desert of depart
mental literature, a voice cry
ing out from the wilderness in
prophetic tongue, for all he has
said will come to pass as the
advancing years ana crowded
fields force capital to seek out
let elsewhere.
The is one thing Mr.. German
says. however, that applies TO
the present. It is as follows:
Il note with qualification the
large increase in our export
trade, the exports having in
creased nearly $4,000 over the
previous year. This increase
in exports is shown under the
operation of the new tariff,
which has resulted in increased

CUBA WANTS PEACE.

London, Oct. 1.-In the
course of a long letter from Ha-
vana, published in The Times,
the correspondent says that the
longer he stays in Cuba and the
more he sees of the Cubans the
stronger has become the con-
viction that a large measure of
autonomy is necessary, if Spain
wishes to preserve Cuba in a
peaceful state. The whole feel
ing of the people," he proceeds,
SIS against the continuance of
the existing system. Spain
must therefore look the situa-
ton in the face and grant rad
ical reforms. 1t seems impos-
sible to me, however, that Cuba
as an independent republic
could ever hope to be happy
and united"
The correspondent is con
WINGED that the point at which
the authorities can strike the
insurgents is in the supplies OF
war material. The insurgents
cannot even maintain their
numbers on the field unless
munitions are forthcoming. If
Spain can prevent the landing
of expeditions, the letter con-
cludes, severe blow will be
dealt to the prospects of the
revolution.

torted that Stubs bin was In meas
ure IN the interest OF the ward poll
