President Diaz Of Mexico Onlcially In
dorsss the Monroe Doctrine.
Cry OF MEXICO, April 2.-The most
important part of the presidents mes
sage. delivered at the opening of con.
gress, is an allusion to the Anglo
Venezuelan controversy and President
Cleveland's message to congress. After
going into the matter at some length,
he concludes as follows:
without entering into discussion as
to its original and historical circum.
stances, which gave rise to its enuncia-
ton; without descending into the par
ticulars as to the limit marked out by
its author and prudently recalled by
President Cleveland, the Mexican gov
ernment cannot but declare it's partial.
ity for doctrine which condemns as
criminal any attacks upon the part of
the monarchies of Europe on the repub.
lies of America. The whole of our his.
tory. especially the struggle of a for.
eign empire, which is European both in
its origin, form and resources, and the
torrents of bloodshed in that struggle
are sufficient testimony to the world of
our love of independence and our
adherence to all outside interference.
It is our opinion that to the United
States, with the
Immeu+ity of It's Resources,
belongs the moral obligation Of assist
ing other republics Of the shemisphere
against the attacks of Europe, if such
attacks are to be considered as possible.
But for the attainment of the end to
which we all aspire each one of these
republics ought, by means of declara.
tion like that Of President Monroe, pro-
claim that every attack on the part of a
foreign power, with view Of curtail.
ing territory or independence, or of al.
tering the institutions of any one of the
republics Of America, would be consid-
cred by the nation making such decla-
ration as an attack upon itself. In this
manner the doctrine now called by the
name of Monroe would become the doc.
trine of America in the fullest sense Of
the word, and, although originating in
the United States, would belong to IN.
ternational law Of this continent. As
to the means to reduce this idea to prac
tice, this is not the place or time to
discuss them"

GREAT CUBAN VICTORY

Nesrly q Thousand Spaniards Kille and
Much War Material Captured.
NEW YORK, April THE World
says long cipher dispatch from Carlos
Garcia, son of General Calixito Garcia,
the leader Of the Bermuda expedition
to Cuba, has been received by M. Stern
in this city. The dispatch was written
at Manzanillo, which is about 35 miles
east of Santiago, on April .. The dis
patch says that the men and artillery
were landed from the Bermuda in q
bay between Bahia Honda and Muriel,
which is about 80 miles west of Havana
in q straight line. There was abso-
lutely no interference. The two Hotch-
kiss guns and the six other heavy pieces
of artillery were taken off, with the
ammunition for them.
'The lO8 men in the expedition were
landed on the morning of March a..
They made q march Of 40 miles inland.
where they were met by General Maceo,
thus carrying out the plan to the letter.
Decided to Attack Pinsr Del Rio.
1T was decided that an attack
should be made upon Pinar del Rio,
which is the largest inland town, and a
Spanish stronghold. Maceo had
caused the report to reach the
Spanish garrison that he had started
on long march. The message says
that Maceo and Garcia, with 5000
men. swept down upon Pinar del Rio
early on the morning Of March 23,
and it was complete surprise. The
Spanish troops numbered about 5000
and they were thrown into state of
panic by the onslaught. The use of
the heavy artillery which Garcia had
brought added to their terror.
The message says ''consternation
reigned and Spanish troops thrown in
wild disorder. Officers could not form
their men. Captured two pieces of
heavy artillery, l,70O Mauser rifles,
1900, 600 cartridges, 1880 swords and
storec. Burned 800 houses, sparing the
weak. Spanish lost $50 killed and 200
wounded. Cuban loss $50 killed aud
wounded. 49,

CARLISLE'S POSITION
NOT AN ACTIVE CANDIDATE FOR
THE PRESIDENCY,

But May Accept the Nomination-Dec-
laration Of Party Principles Ii tho
Matter OF First Moment Now-Would
Appreciate tho Endorsement Of His
State For Services Rendered.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-Secretary
Carlisle has written the following let
ter to the chairman Of the Kentucky
Democratic state central committee on
the subject of his candidacy for the
presidential nomination at the Chicago
convention:
Your favor of March 30, in which
you say in substance that many @ my
friends in Kentucky and elsewhere de.
sire me to become a candidate before
the approaching national Democratic
convention for nomination for the office
of president and requesting me to give
''some authoritative or definite express
sion" upon the subject, was duly re-
ceived and has been maturely con-
sidered. Many communications upon
the same subject and similar import
have been received from friends in diff
ferent parts Of the country, and, while
very grateful for these numerous
Expressions of Confidence and Esteem
upon the part of my Democratic fellow
citizens, I have not been able to reach
the conclusion that the existing condi-
tions require me to comply with their
requests by authorizing them to an
nounce me as candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination. While feel a
profound interest in the welfare Of my
party, I am much more concerned
about its declaration of principles than
in it's selection of candidates, because,
in my opinion, its failure or success at
the election, as we'll as its capacity for
useful service in the country in the
future, depend upon the position it
takes or omits to take upon the public
questions now engaging the attention
Of the people, and especially the ques.
tions affecting the monetary system OF
the country aad the character and
amount of taxation to be imposed upon
our citizens Its position upon these
and other subjects having been agreed
upon and clearly and distinctly an
nounced, the convention ought to have
no difficulty in selecting
An Acceptable Candidate
who will fairly represent its views;
and, in order that its deliberations
may be embarrassed as little as possible
by the contentious of rival aspirants
and their friends, think my duty to
the party will be best performed by de-
clining to participate in a contest fol
the nomination. The obligations as
sumed when I accepted my present
official position require me to devore
my entire time and attention to the
public interests committed to my
charge, and I shall continue to dis
charge the duties imposed upon
me to the best of my ability, and if, in
the opinion of my fellow Democrats in
Kentucky, my services entitle me to
their commendation and approval,
would regard their Endorsement of my
public course as an ample reward for
the little have been able to accomplish
in behalf of honest administration and
q sound financial policy.

NEW YORK, April GA dispatch to
The World from London says: The
'spondent from leading financier Of the
city (the money making part Of Lon
DOM that England has concluded a
treaty Of alliance with Spain. His final
message was, Within 10 days Europe
viii be startled by the official an
nouncement Of this fact"
Continuing. The World correspond
emit says: "I give this statement with
the reserve which its international i'm
portance warrants, pointing out only
that the sensitive money interests of
the city are often better informed on
such matters than is any any other
part of the community, except the
highest official authority, and that my
informant il now, and for many years
has been, associated with leading finan.
cial enterprises.
''Such treaty would have q vastly
important bearing upon the continen-
tai situation. It would have COM
mensurately important bearing upon
the Cuban question in the United
States.

statement in the New York news.
papers that the Washington govern
ment has received semi-official init
nation from the British ministry that
Great Britain would approve Of the
recognition by the United States OF
Caban belligerency. ......
His reply was that exactly the con-
trary is the case, that in the first place
the Salisbury ministry is disposed to do
anything it can with safety and in
reason to check the pretensions Of the
American government to interfere in
either West Indian or South American
ENTHUSIASTICALLY in the West Indies.
where Great Britain herself has most
important interests-and that, sec.
ondly. Spain by this treaty has made
important concessions to England in
return for the latter's more or less
active support Of Spain in her conflict
with the Cuban rebels.
How England il Repaid.
II can furnish no further details of
this alleged treaty than that, according
to my informant, it will include giving
to Great Britain the right to harbor
and refit her fleets in the Mediter-
ranean ports Of Spain. The harbor OF
Cartagena is one of the finest on the
Mediterranean and would shelter the
entire British navy.
s.The Importance Of an Anglo Span
ish alliance to Great Britain is obvious.
Neither Gibralter nor Malta-Eng-
lands only two ports on the Mediter-
ranean--is capable of either harboring
or retitting q feet, but with both the
italian and Spa . III ports thrown open
to the British navy, the French fleet at
Toulon would be at England's mercy.
and Russia could hardly make juno
tion from the Black sea with the ships
OF her French ally.
such are the apparent reasons why
Great Britain should wish to make
such an alliance as above indicated.

lions the association of which the Boston
papers are the controlling factors, sells
the news to the Maine papers. Then,
having sold the news and got their pay
for 1t, they turn around and by hurrying
OF special trains try to shut out :the
Maine papers from selling the news
which is bought and paid for.
Not only this but these early editions
OF Boston papers are impositions upon
Maine readers. -Four years ago they made
great promises of what they would do,
and then sent a paper which had the
Massachusetts election returns and very
little else.
Ths Portland papers, on the other
hand, had good account of the result

trains were able to neutralize the efforts
of the Boston papers.
1t takes more than three hours for a

that time the Portland papers are getting

1t was happy thought on the part of
the Sons of the Revolution to commsmo-
rate this anniversary and Ia so doing cali
the attention of sthe public in this
time of party strife to the oalm and wise
words of advice of the Father Of his
country in taking leave of the nation
which he did more than any other man
to create and for whose prosperity and
success he felt. the deepest and most
unselfish interest.
Many passages In the address are pc
ouliarly applicable to the present emer-
gency. At this time when an effort is
being made to stir up seotionalism and
array one part of the country against
the other nothing could be more timely
than these words of the first President:
"In contemplating the causes which
may disturb our union 1t OCCURS as mat
ter of serious concern that any ground
should have been furnished for oharac-
terizing parties by geographical discrimi-
nations, whence designing men may en-
deavor to excite belief that there ia a
real difference Of local interests and
views One Of the expedients of party
TO acquire influence within particular
ulsGrlCGS ls TO m1srepre6en6 Gn6 opinions
and aims Of other districts. You cannot
shield yourselves too much against the
jealousies and heart burnings which
spring from these misrepresentation,
they tend to render alien to each other
those who ought to be bound together
by fraternal affection. To
the efficacy and permanency of the
Union government for the whole Is
Indispensable.
Z And this too has present application
in view of some Of the declarations of
the Chicago platform:
IAN distractions to the execution of
the laws. all combinations and associ-
ations, under what ever plausible char
aoter, with the real design to direct,
control, counterfeit or awe the regular
deliberations and action Of constitute
authorities, are destructive of this fun
damsntal principle and of fatal tenden.
oy.''
And again this is good time to recall
and follow the advice Of the Father OF
his Country to "oherish public credit,
as very. important source of strength
and security"
II will do everybody good at this time
to read this address or hear it read, and
follow it's adyice-Mr. William j. Bryan
especially.
