A Kansas. Judge Decided All appointments

E1IPORIA, Kan, Jan, % Judge Ran
dolph, of the district court, gave a de-
cisiOn to-day which renders the state
Law imperative that compels city eoun-
ellis to give preference to old soldiers
in appointments, other things being
equal. The judge held that a rejected
old soldier is not entitled to an IN
junction to "oust" his successful oppo-

sympathy for the Cuban Insurgents Growing
MOre Popular.
Conservative Senators and Representatives
Cannot See How the United states
Can Recognize the tubans Who
lave No Settled Government.

WASHINGTON, Jan. % There are
evidences of serious dissent from the
joint resolution reported to the senate
by the foreign relations committee re-
garding the Monroe doctrine. 1t is
held by conservative senators that the
Davis prOnouneement is altogether too
sweeping and would eventually, if the
declaration were enforced, lead to
more confusion than if the doctrine of
Monroe were merely speculative as at
present. 1t is also learned that some
OF the diplomatic representatives of
the South American republics resid-
ing in Washington are opposed
to the sweeping declaration of
the Davis resolution and believe
that its adoption would be step de-
rogatOry to the dignity of their gov
ernments They object to the assertion
that no question of territory between
a republic on this hemisphere and any
European power can be settled with
out the approval of this country. The
South American diplomats feel that
giving the force of law to this declara-
ton would be in a manner Iessening
the sovereig Ety of their governments
and establishing to a certain extent a
suzerainty from Washington over
them.
There is reason to believe, too, that
the administration is opposed to the
Davis resolution. It is regarded as too
sweeping and paving the way for too
many complications in the future. The
establishment of a special guardian
ship over the nations of South Amer
lea would, in the natural order of
things, make this government respon-
sible for the conduct of these nations
in their dealings with the nations of
Europe or Asia.
! sympathy for Cubans.
New YORK, Jan. 22.-The Cuban
question as viewed from this point is
rather complicated. Information from
Washington Yesterday evening was to
the effect that the president is in
clined to go slow in according belliger-
ent rights to the insurgents There is
no doubt of the sympathy of the Amer
lean people for the Cuban insurgents,
and this sympathy is unquestionablv
shared by the administration. But
sympathy is one thing and duty an
other thing. a subcommittee of the
foreign relations committee of
the senate, composed of Senators
Sherman, Lodge and Morgan. have
under consideration several resolutions
relating to Cuba, introduced in the SEN
ate. They are trying TO formulate a
declaration showing sympathy with
the insurgents, but not going so far as
to extend belligeUent rights. 1t is not
going too far, perhaps, to say that
every member OF the house and senate
! Is anxious that the Cubans should es-
tablish their independence. But con-
sentative senators and representatives
cannot see how this country can recoe-
nize a government which has no loca-
ton, no executive and no judiciary,
and which consists of rowing bands.
