 WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-Concerning
 the report that the WAT department be-
 csnee of possible trouble with Spain has
 been making inquiries of trunk line
 raiiIoads running to the gulf c, Hst and
 along the southern seabosrd as to fscIli-
 ties for moving war supplies, It can be stated that the only inquiry made m the
 past year oy the war departL ept on ihls
 subject WAS one intended to ascertain
 the cost of executing an order made
 about six weeks ago by the secretary of
 war looking to aD aDDuRl exchange or
 stations of troops. Of course thie had
 no w8rlike purpose whatever for the
 same numb bsr of troops that were added
 to the department on the east were
 carried west to take -ir stations. A
 flat denial is also gwen by the best
 authorities to sensational story that
 the state department warned Spain
 against further outrageous treatment at the American commercial agencies doing business with Cuba. But nothing
 has happened recently to cause strained
 relations between the two governments
 on this score.

 ATLANTA. Ga, Nov. 12-The letter of acceptance written by Thomas Watson, accepting the populist nomination for vice president, was yesterday made pub llc. Seven columns of Wstsop's Peo- ple's Party paper are devoted to it. The letter is supplemented by four columns of advice to populists to ''sit steady ip the boat and hold their party together"
 The editoriai tone of the paper is one of fulfilled prophecy.
 Watson declares that the failure of the populists to support Bryan in the close states brought about cKinley's election.
 He goes into long review of the cir cumstsnces leading to his nomination and accepts the vice presidential nomi- nation "because 1 sad 1 would" He declared that if the St. Lotus populist convention had nominated 8 straight popullst ticket it would have been elected. T., would. be egid, have driven the Hills and Gormaus where they be lopged-In the republican ranks-ard the Bryans and Blauds would have joID- ed with the populists. He complains bitterly of the treatment De has receiv- ed at the h nds of ths populist lssders and addresses hlmself particularly to Senator Butler in thIs way:
 "Senator, reform hos no right to exist if it has not valid complaint to make. Populists cannot oenounce the sins of the two old parties and yet go in to political eo-partnership with them. The moment we make treaty the war must cease. Anu when we cease our war upon the old parties we have no longer any excuse for living; whenever right compromises wrong, 1t IS the right which suffers. The democratic mansg- | CTS seem to resent as strange piece of | impertinence the fact that the populists | dared to nominate ticket different at | the rear end from theirs. Coming to | them with two million votes they were | begging for and piteously needing, can say with perfect assurance of telling Uhe | unqualified truth, that my arrival On the field of battle was net welcomed Is | heartily ss Butcher was received by | Wellington at Waterloo. They want my reinforcement but ttey do not want |
