land Administration with Some
of the Evils of the
situation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator william

ter to the president:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22--To the Presi-
dent; 1 make complaint to you and through
you to our Interstate Commerce commission
against the trust and pooling agreement
now nearly finished Of the eight American
railroad trunk lines and the Canadian line Of
pooling the trains between New York City
and Chicago. The agreement provides that
every railroad in the combination shall make
and maintain the transportation rates pre-
scribed by board of managers representing
all the roads. This ,f conspiracy in re-
straint Of trade and commerce, under the act
Of July 2, 1890. The agreement also makes
certain that all competition shall be abolished
as above required by imposing heavy fines
upon any offending road, which fines are
to be applied for the benefit of the other
roads This is a division of earnings contrary
to section of the interstate commerce
law.
This trust and pooling agreement can be
annihilated as provided by explicit existing
laws of the United States. first, by njunc-
ton from the courts; second by an order
Of the Interstate Commerce commission
or third. by an indictment of the individuals
signing the same.
1T can easily be stopped by vigorous
appeal from you to j. Perrepont Morgan.
whose power over the nine governors of the
nine trunk lines is as absolute as 1t was over
the bond syndicate. 1t cannot be possible
you intend to take upon your administration
the responsibility of fastening upon your
burdened and helpless people this, the hugest
trust the world ever saw or that was ever
conceived Of, when one earnest word from
you to your fresh attorney general, your
ambitious chairman of your commission, or
your omnipotent banker friend will parayze
the iniquity in its inception. Very respect
fully yours, WILLIAM F. CHANDLER.

SANTA CLARA, Cuba, Nov. 24.-To the
Editor of the New York World: 1 hear that
my remarks concerning the United States
made in the recent interview published in Ell
Imperial were construed as having an un-
friendly tone, and that intimated that there
was an unfrendly feeling between Spain and
the United States on the subject of Cuba.
Readers OF that interview should observe
with clearness that l was actuated only by
friendly sentiments 1t is true l thought
the United States ultimately might recog
nize the insurgents belligerents, because
1 was acquainted with the course of public
sentiment throughout that great nation. The
American colonies went to war with their
mother country and separated from her, and
1t is surely broad-minded view to assume
1t natural for the American people to re-
member their own national history. l have
been informed that the North Americans
entertain sympathy for the rebellion to a
general extent If l have anticipated recog-
nition 1t was because of this popular ssnti-
ment. This was on general principles. AL
though government may not be disposed
to commit itself, / can understand how a
government created by the people and subor-
dinate to the people would yield to the public
have, however, great confidence in the
sober common sense of the people of the
United States, which always is asserted at
the last moment, and which has been
predominant feature in the development of
the nations greatness.
think the Cuban belligerents' position at
present gives them no claim upon the United
States for recognition. There is an active
rebellion in Cuba, but the insurgents hold no
seaports, no interior town. There are numer-
Gus villages named on the map which con-
sist Of five or ten huts. Sometimes the in
surgents remain for a period of time in one
of these hamlets. When l send a column Of
troops to 1t they disappear in the wild, path

cred the subject of recognition of the bel!ger-
ency Of the rebels in the former revolution.
He stated. In public document with which
l am familiar. that there was no ground for
him to recognize Cuban belligerency when
the people who sought recognition held no
pert or town. President Grant created a
precedent, and hear now from Madrid that
the government does not anticipate any overt
United States. i sincerely hope that this
may always prove true for have allowed
myself to entertain the wish that the two
countries, mine own and the American re-
public, might always maintain the friendly
relations which have characterized the past.
General Grant held that anything that would
cause trouble between this country and Eu-
rope would be amentable. We would have
the worst end of H. and l would be sorry
for that MARTINEZ CAMPOS.
