Through the Rockies via the
Great Salt Lake Route

The traveller, tourist or business
man of the west is wise when he
selects the Rio Grande Western
Railway, "Great Salt Lake Route"
for his route across the Rockies.
1t is the only transcontinental line
passing directly through Salt Lake
City, and in addition to the glimpse
it affords of the Temple City, the
Great Salt Lake and the picturesque
Jordan valley, it affords choice of
three distinct routes through the
mountains and the most magnih-
cent scenery in the world. It's road
bed and equipment cannot be ex-
celled by any line west of Chicago;
and while the RIO GRANDE WEST,
ERN RAILWAY has been made
far-ous by the beauty and variety
of the scenery on its line, it is
equally noted for comfort and ele-
gance of its trains. Through Pull
man palace sleeping cars between
Ogden, Salt Lake City and Denver;
through Pullman tourist or family
sleeping cars to Kansas City, Chi
cago and Boston without change;
and free reclining chair cars. For

Threw Away His Canes.

Mr.. D. Wiley, ex-postmaster,
Black Greek, n. Y, was so badly
afflicted with rheumatism that he
was only able to hobble around with
canes. and even then it caused him
great pain. After using Chamber
lain's Pain Balm he was so much
improved that he threw away his
canes. He says this linament did
him more good than all other medi-
crnes and treatment put together.

oLxEY WILL TELL CUBAN SECRETS
Confidential Information to lie Fur
nishcd Sennte COmmittec.

WASHINGTON Dec. lit is stated that
Secretary Olney will go before the senate
committee on foreign relations tomorrow
and give the committee a great deal of
confidential information relative to Cuba
which is in his possession.
A majority OF the members OF the COM
mittee express ignorance of the intention of
Mr.. Olney to appear before the committee.
but there is no doubt that he told Senator
Sherman, who saw him for a few minutes
today. that he would be glad TO appear at
the committee meeting to throw all the light
possible on the subject for the guidance of
the committee.
For the protection of his advisers, Sec
retary Olney undoubtedly will ask that his
communications be kept strictly secret. 1t
is the expectation of all the members of the
committee that a vote will be reached at
the meeting tomorrow on the Cameron reso-
luton declaring for Cuban independence,
and the friends of the resolution express
no doubt that the resolution will receive the
support of a majority of the committee.
SO confident are the advocates of the
Cameron resolution of their success in the
committee that they have already prepared
report on the subject as to have 1t
ready to present to the senate as soon as
agreed upon. The report is the work of
Senator Cameron, who from the first agita-
tion of the question has taken position for
the recognition of Cuban independence and
tried to have the committee pronounce for
that course when il declared for the right
of bellgerency instead. 1t is said that he
goes into the subject eXhaustively and the
report, when presented. will be a very
thorough review of the Cuban situation.
The intention of the majority of the
members of the committee on foreign re-
lations who intend to vote for the Cameron
Cuban resolution is to vote to report the
resolution tomorrow and allow 1t to remain
on the senate calendar until after the holi-
day RECESS. The report that has already
been prepared is known to be very salts
factory to the majority in favor of action.
and it is not believed there will be any facts
presented by Secretary Olney which will
materially change the conditions
The Post tomorrow will say: The sec
retary of state has cautioned the members
of the committee on foreign relations to
go very slow in regard to the Cuban ques-
tion. The secretary Of state urgently recon-
mends that all action be postponed in con-
gress until the end Of the present cam
paign. when, If the Spaniards are not sue
cessful, he believes, as recommended in the
presidents message, that some form of in
tervention should be applied by the United
States

fortunately for General Weyler, as Premier
Canovas and the minister of war were so
indignant when they heard that Maceo had
crossed the trocha and entered Havana prov
ince by land that they had determined to
recall General Weyler and replace him by
General Marin from Porto Rico. Anyhow it
Is an open secret in political military and
diplomatic circles that Weyler will only
be allowed to remain in Cuba ii he
promptly and signaly crushes the insurrec-
ton in the provinces of Havana and Pinar
del Rio, and If he puts stop to abuses, cor
ruption, and extravagant waste in commits
sariat and army contracts to which the gov
ernment has called his attention severely.
He has also been warned to give satisfaction
to planters who ask to be permitted to re-
sumo work on sugar and tobacco plantations,
and to avoid giving grounds by his severi-
ties for such claims for damages, as not
only America, but England, France and
Germany are pressing.
General Weyler seems to be aware that
he is losirg favor in Spain with the public,
with the government and even more so at
court He is trying to create an impress
sion that the Spanish parties in Cuba are
not so dissatisfied with his military and
political conduct as are the press and people
at home.
Premier Canovas is bound to persevere
in his war and repression policy without
making any except otiiCious and unofficial
overtures to the United States government
as long as General Weyler and the Spanish
parties in Cuba hold out a hope of early
results from the effects of Maceos death
upon the insurgents. But the patience of
the rest of the government and of the nation
is well nigh exhausted. II nothing decisive
occurs in Cuba by the middle of January
Premier Canovas most likely will recall
General Weyler and appoint in his place
either General Marin or Senor de Azcarraga,
the minister of war, and then change his
policy in Cuba with view to coming to an
understanding with the United States gov
ernment before the close of President Cleve-.
lands term of office. The queen regent
would welcome any honorable solution of
tho problem compatible with Spain's rights
in Cuba in order to avert a conflict or even
misunderstanding with the United States.
Therefore Premier Canovas may be stirred
up to changing his policy, especially, as
he knows that the liberal party is willing
to take Office for that purpose if the queen
bids it, TO do so.
