Ultimatum.

Vlt1matum.
The story in The Star yesterday that the
administration had practically given notice
10 Spain 10 end the rebellion in Cuba with
IN a given time resulted in many versions
OF the same story appearing in the press
TO-DAY differing in detail. but, in the main.
directly or indirectly confirming the essen
tial features Of The Stars story
One story is that Spain herself fixed a
time in which to end the war, and that
the time will expire in January VIEWERS
utterance, Wait till Christmas" is point
ed to as illustrating that a time is fixed
Correspondence, 1t is claimed, passed be-
tween the government of this country and
Spain at an earlier time than the 1st OF
November probably in September, and the
administration agreed to do nothing hos
tile to Spain until after the expiration Of ,
reasonable time to put down the war. The
story goes that Spain fixed January as the
time when she will have the situation In
Cuba under control, and that this conces-
sion to American sentiment is the result
OF the gentle diplomacy of Secretary OIL
ney. In his gentle, diplomatic way Mr..
Olney's communication may not have ap-
peared as an ultimatum but that is believ-
ed to be the final meaning of it,
Another published story denies, on what
1t claims Is authority, that time has been
fixed for the cessation of hostilities in
would not act unless he should receive sat
isfactory assurances that Congress would
support him." Then it goes on to say that
Mr.. Cleveland would like to devote the
closing months of his administration to
carrying out a policy which would ter
inmate the Cuba war;" but did not believe
lie would embark on policy which would
bring on war between this country and
Spain.
One of the arguments made against the
story that the President had set time
limit is that the President would not leave
war with Spain as a legacy to the in
coming administration. 1t is well known in
Washington that Senator Sherman, a high
republican authority in the country on for
eign affairs, has had frequent consultations
with Secretary Olney during the past year.
and these consultations are said to have
been about Cuba. Senator Sherman is
close enough to President-elect Mckinley
to be Secretary Of State himself If he want
ed the place. Mr.. Sherman is believed to
know what has been done and is being
done as to Cuban matters. If he knows
these things Mr.. Mckinley may also know
them. 1t is not unreasonable, it is urged
that If this should be the case, Mr.. Sher-
man has informed Secretary Olney that
the new administration will shoulder what
ever comes over to 1t from this administra-
ton as the result Of a vigorous Cuban
policy.

FIGHTING NAVAL ESTIMATES.
Sensational Remarks by n Member of
the RefchstaE.


BERLIN, December 3.-The reichstag to-
day resumed the discussion of the budget.
Herr Leibnecht, socialist, made a long
speech on many subjects.
Referring to the panegyric by Admiral
Won Hollmann of the sailors of the Ger
man cruiser Hits, lost with nearly all
hands off the coast of China. who went
down cheering for the emperor, Herr Lieb-
necht maintained that the Itis was un-
seaworthy, and. he added, as to the crew,
they had not displayed greater courage
than thousands of miners in the course OF
their work.
Thereupon the president of the reichstag
Baron Won Buel-Berenberg. interposed, re-
bukinS the speaker for depreciauing the
gaiiantry of the sailors
Herr Lelbnecht in no way concerned by
the rebuke. continuing, said that threats
mad been held out that the reichStag might
be dissolved if the naval estimates were de-
feated. Behind that threat, he asserted
was curtain-whereon no one knew what
he would do on the morrow or the day af-
ter Such state of things was unworthy
of the reichstag.
Herr Liebnecht was here called to order
by the president, but, resuming his re-
marks. he said that the trial of Herr Leck-
ert and the other newspaper men, now in
progress, showed that intrigues of the
basest description were conducted in the
higher regions.
In conclusion. the socialist deputy as
serted that his party would not vote man
nor a groschen for militarism or navalism
DIR. Won Boetticher, minister of the in
terror, replied to Herr Liebnecht

The business interests of the country

lhsurSent Attack on Guauabacoa
Tuesday Was Quite an Affair.

HAVANA, December 3.-The insurgent
attack on Guanabacoa. on the outskirts of
this city, Tuesday, was a much more seri-
Gus affair than al first stated. According
TO insursent accounts, Guanabacoa was al
tackled simultaneously at several points,
while another msurgent force fired uaos
the Spanish outposts at Bucaranas on The
coast. The garrison of the fort. il rs added,
left that place TO resist the attack on the
town, but was ambuscaded between store
walls and farm fences by about 300 in
sufgents, and in spite of the gallant de-
Tense made. all the Spaniards were killed.
The exact number of soldiers slain is not
known. 1t is admitted that a number Of in
surSents were also killed, but here again
the number is not stated.
On the other hand, the insurgents are
said 10 have burned seventy-four houses I'm

California in the Cabinet.

Representative Ellis of Oregon, who ar
rived today, says that the Pacific coast
will make a strong bid for cabinet posi-
tion. The names of Judge Maymire and
Michael H. De Young of California, he
says, are most frequently mentioned. Mr..
Ellis says the sentiment among the re-
publicans of the coast is unanimous for
the passage Of tariff hill. There is, how
ever. he says. a divided sentiment in re-
gard to the Dingley bill. Many would
like to see ii passed at this session and
wait for the regular session for complete
revision, while others would prefer an
extra session.

A Statement That Mr. Call VIII Not
Succeed Himself.

State Senator ]. E. Hartridge of Jack
sonville, Fla, prominently mentioned as
probable successor to Senator Call of Fiori-
da, reached the city this morning, and in
talking to a Star reporter of the political
situation in his state, said: 1T is absolute
ly settled that Senator Call will not succeed
himself. That is one thing there is no
doubt about. The legislature has a majori-
ty for silver, but this majority is conserva-
tive, and I believe sentiment Is changing"
Senator Hartridge did not, Of course, dis
cuss his own chances of coming to the Sen
ate. He said he was gold standard demo-
crat.
Mr.. Hartridge says that the supposed
fliBustering vessels around his state are
being closely watched by the government
authorities. He thought the interference
with some of the vessels was being carried
too far, and was unjust.

Demand for Small Coin.

One of the Indications Of the near ap-
proach of the holiday season Is the largely
increased demand on the treasury for frac-
tional silver coins, nickels and pennies for
use in making change. While general all
over the country, the demand is greatest
from New York, Chicago. Boston. Phila-
delphia and st. Louis. The singular part
of it is that the demand Is principally for
pennies, and that even San Francisco has
asked for a large supply of such coins.
Heretofore the nickel has been the smallest
coin used on the Pacific coast. The de-
mand for pennies is explained by the prac-
tice of many dealers Of marking their
goods at odd figures.
