Presidents Message Unsatisfactory
To Both sides.

New York. Dec THE World will pub
lish the following interviews tomorrow en-
the views of prominent Cubans on the
presidents message:
Piedel Perot of the junta-The message
is an enigma and a puzzle. | should have
a far higher regard for Mr.. Cleveland had
he simply announced that the United
States was opposed to the cause of Cuban
liberty and sympathzed with SPANS cf-
fort to crush the revolution. The message
will not make a particle of difference one
way or the other, so far as the revolution
is concerned If the soldiers of Gomez
and Maceo realize that the measure means
chat the United States will not raise a fin
ger to stop Weyler's butcheries. they will
fight with more terrible energy, born Of
despair. For us now there are now left
only the two Observation-Disclosures
or determination.
Manuel A. Recio de Morales resigned
my position as a leader of the reformlSt
party, which Is similar in it's aims to The
autonomist, because | became convinced
that absolute independence is all that can
save Cuba.
DIR. Henry O. Sayas The presidents
message is decidedly unsatisfactory to
both sides. The Cubans have a right TO
expect more, but the consolation remains
that he treats Spain with the scorn which
she deserves for her weak and cruel rule.
DIR. Rafael Navarro Of the Cuban SAM
tary corps-Cleveland does not say any
thing in his message He does not mean
to say anything. My hope IS in congress.
Mrs. Carlos Manuel Cespedes, widow OF
the president of Cuba during the last war
Perhaps Cleveland is really more friend
ly to Cuba than his message would indi-
cate. From motives of policy perhaps, he
has refrained from expressing the sympa-
thy he really feels.
Delegate Estrada Palma and joaquin
Castillo declined to be interviewed, but
declared through their secretaries mat
they would issue an official statement
within d short time.

1t should be added that it can not be reason
ably assumed that the hitherto expectant atti-
tude of the United States will be indefinitely
maintained While we anxious to accord
all due respect to the sovereignty OF Spain, we
not view the pending conflict In all It's
features and properly apprehend our close re-
lations to 1t and its possible results without
considering that by the course of events we
may be drawn into such an unusual and UMPIRE

patient waiting for Spain to end the contest,

Spain to deal successfully with the insurgents

Spain. Until we face the contingencies sug-

imperatiVely changed, we should continue in
the line of conduct heretofore pursued thus

IT WENT UP IN SMOKE
TONASKET INDIAN SCHOOL ON COL
VILE RESERVATION.
Blaze Started in the Bath House
SeVenty-One Children Turned
Out in the Cold.

Tonasket Indian School. Colville Reser-
walton, Dec. 4-The Tonasket Indian
school building was burned here at II
o'clock noon yesterday. There were IL
pupils at the school. None were seriously
hurt.
The fire originated in the bath house,
where the laundress was drying clothes.
The building being frame structure,
and dry, burned to the ground in 50 min
utes. There was no opportunity to put
cut the fire. as the flames were under
such Roadway Immediately after they
were discovered that it was impossible to
arrest them,
The children were taken TO the store
house and cared for under reIiouS diff
cultes, as there was no stove pipe in the
vicinity to put up a stove at once. The
weather was cold, and May suffered
from it. In a short time superintendent
Henry Hanke, with the assistance of Mr..
Shutt and Mr.. Morrison, made pipe,
and two stoves were put in the building.
While the pupils suffered from snow and
cold. no serious damage was done. Great
credit is due to Mr. Morrison, Mr. Brown,
who was passing with his team. Mrs.
Han1e, the matrOn, and Mrs. Latiem, for
the active part they took in rendering
assistance in making the children as com
Portable as possible, and for the assist
ance they rendered the superintendent.
The TOnasket school was located on the
OkanOgan river, near Enos creek, about 40
miles above the Okanogan's junction
with the Columbia. 1t was a large build
ing, containing two wings. In addition to
the dormitories. 1t contained a dining
hall and class rooms. 1t was built to ac-
commodate $50 pupils, besides the teach
ers, physician, druggist and other officers.
A few years ago the building was re-
modelled and fitted with all modern con-
Veniences One of the features of the
school that commended itself especially
to the people living in that sparsely set
tied region was the apothecary depart
| ment and the physician in charge At
| times they have been of infinite benefit.
The school was named for Tonasket,
the famous Indian chief.
The alarm took place while the teach
ers and pupils were at dinner Only q
few of the inmates saved their personal
effects. The building was a tWO-story
frame structure. about $50 feet long, and
was built in 1886-87, but was not occupied
for school purposes for several years af-
terWard. The cOmmissary and other
buildings were saved 1t is doubtful if
the Indian department will replace the
structure at this point.

OTHER MINOR FOREIGN MATTERS
Venezuela No Longer in Controversy
Consular Appointments.

The Venezuelan question has ceased to be a
matter of difference between Great Britain and
the United States, the respective governments
having agreed upon the substantial provisions
of a treaty between Great Britain and Venez-
uela, submitting the whole controversy to ar
bitration. The provisions of the treaty are so
eminently just and fair that the assent Oh
Venezuela thereto may confidently be antici-
pated. Negotiations by a treaty OF genera
arbitration for all differences between Great
Britain and the United States are advanced anu
promise to reach a successful contamination at
early date.
Consular Civil Service.
The scheme of examining applicants for Ger
tain consular positions to test their competency
and fitness, adopted under an executive orueF
issued on September 20, 1895, has fully demon
strated the usefulness of this innovation IN
connection with this plan of examination pro-
motions and transfers of deserving incumpents
have been quite extensively made with eX-
celent results.
During the past year 80 appointments have
been made in the consular service, n or Whlch

resignation to supply newly created posts

ITALIAN CHAMBER Or DEPUTIES.
SipnOr LuZZati's Intricate Statement
on the Budget.

Rome, Dec. TN the chamber of depu-

Retrenchments, he said, would be made

in which an increase of $4,000 900 lire was
necessary in order to report the 246.000 900
lire which were Indispensable for the
army.

aging predictions for the future.

An Olive Branch Extended to the

New York, Dec. mot for years has
there been so large an attendance at
monthly meeting of the Tammany society

"A municipal campaign must not be
fought on national issues. TO win, we
must have the aid of all our friends. Keep
the doors of Tammany wide open; let us
only try to control local politics and not

The death of Colonel John r. Fellows,
for many years a member of the society,
afforded an opportunity to extend the
olive branch to the boilers, and Thomas
f. Grady presented a tribute to the dead,
which was spread upon the records.
