briefly treated.
Under the head of Spain, Secretary
Olney has much to say in regard to
Cuba, and in his report he sets out in
great detail the history Of the growth
of the rebellion, the present evil state
of affairs on the island and other facts
upon which the president bases his
broad statements and conclusion. No
reference is made to a report from Con-
sui General Lee, but the secretary in.
Inmates that this information comes
principally from the United States con-
suls, and so must be regarded as con-
fdential as to its source. The secre.
tary's estimate of the present situation,
is disclosed in the following paragraph.
made after preliminary statement of
the destruction of the industrial re-
sources of Cuba:
From whatever point Of view we
regard the matter, 1t is impossible not
to discern tn at state of things exists
at our doors alike dangerous to good re-
lations, destructive of legitimate COM
merce, fatal to the internal resources of
Cuba, and most vexatious and trying
because entailing upon this government
excessive burdens in its domestic ad-
ministration, apd in its outward rela-
tions. This situation cannot indefin-
itely continue without growing still
worse, and the time may not be far dis
tant when the United States must Sc
riously consider whether its rights and
interests, as well as it's international
duties in view of its peculiar relations
to the island do not call for some
decided change in the policy hitherto
nursued.n

Spain's Inability to End the Contest VIII
Be the Signal For Action--When That
Time Arrives the Method of Procedure
May Be Plain-Country Congratulated
ON the Result of the Election.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Both houses
Of congress assembled at noon. Almost
Immediately the presidents message
was read. 1t proved to be q very vol
luminous document, about II, 900 words.
The opening sentences refer to the late
election.
Gas representatives Of the people in
the legislative branch Of their govern
ment," the president says, ''you have
assembled at time when the strength
and excellence of our free institutions
and the fitness of our citizens to enjoy
popular rule have been again made
manifest. A political contest involving
momentous consequences, fraught with
feverish apprehension, and creating ag-
gressiveness so intense as to approach
bitterness and passion, has been waged
throughout our land and determined by
the decree of free and independent suf-
frage, without disturbance to our tran.
guilty or the least sign Of weakness in
our national struct<Ye.
"When we consider these incidents
and contemplate the peaceful Obedience
and manly submission which have sue
ceeded heated clash Of political opin-
ions, we discover abundant evidence Of
a determination on the part of our
countrymen to abide by every verdict
of the popular will, and to be controlled
at all times by an abiding faith in the
agencies established for the direction
of the affairs of their government
Thus our people exhibit patriotic dis
position which entities them to demand
Of those who undertake to make and
execute their laws such faithful and
unselfish service in their behalf as can
only be prompted by serius apprecia-
ton of the trust and confidence which
the acceptance of public duty invites. !"
The Cuban Question.
The most interesting as well as most
important portion of the message is
that which deals with foreign affairs.
The Venezuelan boundary question, the
nresident says, has ceased to be matter
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1896-12-12

In regard to the Union and Central
Pacific railroad defaults the president
says that unless something is done prior
to Jan. /, he deems it to the best inter.
est of the country to begin foreclosure
proceedings.
The retirement of greenbacks is again
urged because Of the danger to the gold
reserve.
The various departmental reports are
given brief mention and recommends
ton. Civil service is commended and
tho good work of the interstate COM
merce commission noticed.
The message closes with an appeal
for economy in expenditure.

Of difference between Great Britain and
the United States. The insurrection in
Cuba, however, still continues, with all
its perplexities. It is difficult to per-
ceive that any progress has thus far
been made towards the pacification of
the island or that the situation Of
affairs as depicted in my last annual
message has in the least improved. If
Spain still holds Havana and the sea-
ports and all the considerable towns,
the insurgents still roam at will over
at least two-thirds of the inland coun-
try. If the determination of Spain to
put down the insurrection seems but to
strengthen with the lapse of time, and
is evinced by her unhesitating devotion
of largely increased military and naval
forces to the task, there is much reason
to believe that the insurgents have
gained in point Of numbers, character
and resource. and are none the less in.
flexible in their resolve not to succumb
without practically securing the object
for. which they took up arms. Mean.
time the country is being ruined indus
trial(y and commercially. Spain, the
president says, should grant real auton-
omy which, he believes would be salts.
factory to the majority of the insur.
gents.
In concluding the subject he says:
A contemplation of emergencies that
may arise should plainly lead us to
avoid their creation, either through a
careless disregard of present duty or
even an undue stimulation and ill.
timed expression Of feeling. But I have
deemed it not amiss to remind the con.
gress that time may arrive when q
correct policy and care for our interests
as well as regard for the interests Of
nations and their citizens joined by
considerations Of humanity and de-
sire to see rich and fertile country,
intimately related to us, saved from
complete devastation, will constrain
our government to such action as will
subserve the interests thus involved,
and at the same time promise to Cuba
and its inhabitants an opportunity to
the blessings Of peace.

affiliations, and whether or not to in
vite them to attend the Republican
caucus was an undecided matter.
Many conferences were held. Senator
Chandler of New Hampshire was par
ticularly active in recommending that
the boilers be notified of the caucus,
which is practically an invitation to at
tend. Senator Chandler took the posi-
ton that the votes of these men would
be needed in passing tariff bill. SEN
ator Quay, it is understood, took the
same view. 1t was finally concluded
that notices should be sent them as be-
fore. This result
Placed the Burden Of Action
on the silver Republicans. They con-
ferred until late to settle upon line of
policy. Senator Dubois of Idaho is, or
was, secretary of the caucus He will
resign this place, as he has been more
active than many of the others in the
recent campaign and was one of the
most urgent in advocacy of bolt
at St. Louis. There has been ten.
dency among some Republicans to
pursue a conciliatory course toward
the silver Republicans and especially as
number Of them have declared in
favor of protection, and Senator Man.
ties paper has been quite positive in
this direction. 1t is not believed that
either Senator Pettigrew, Senator Man.
tie or Senator Cannon will attend the
caucus, although they would not be re-
qulred to indicate their views. The
purpose of the caucus is to outline a
nropramme for the session.

the same time have redoubled their

Sharp firing has been heard again
in Havana from the neighborhood of
Guanabacos and other suburbs of that
section, and all Havana is excited over
the occurrence.
Over 800 refugees have passed into
the city during the past five days from
that section, fearing for their lives dur.
ing the fights between the soldiers and
the insurgents.
Nearly all the Havana volunteers
have gone to the front, but as fast as
they rout the guerrillas in one place
they encounter them in another, max
ing a succession of running fights, all
within or 10 miles of the city. About
100 soldiers have been killed or wound
