SENATOR DAVIS AND CUBAN RE-
COGNITION.

Several northwestern senators are
opposed to the Cameron resolutions
which were to be introduced into the
senate today, and will vote against
them unless there is considerable of
change in the situation before final
vote is taken. In interviews they ex-
press their hearty sympathy for the
Cubans, and roundly denounce the
barbarities practiced by the Spanish,
but do not think the time has yet ar
rived when such an advanced step
should be taken. On the other hand
Senator Davis, who is close student
of international questions, and who
has doubtless given the various phases
of the Cuban question more thorough
study than any other senator in the
west, favors the resolutions and be-
lieves this country should take the
step they call for. In an interview
in the New York World he says:
"The Cameron resolution is in no
wise hostile act towards Spain, and
will not and cannot be so recognized
by any government on earth. We
have first declared that there is re-
publican country in Cuba. We do not
say that the United States shall do
any violent act towards any govern
m ent. We simply announce what we
believe to be fact. Now, if Spain
takes offense at this, we cannot help
it. If war comes, it will be of her
own seeking. The constitution of
congress and the right of this govern
ment to recognize as republic any
country claiming that it has estab-
lished a republican form of govern
ment is admitted by all the powers.
1t is clearly within international law.
In 1922 we recognized various repub
lies from Mexico to Cape Horn, which
were just as unstable and illusory as
is the republic of Cuba. Spain threat
ened to make fuss, but did nothing,
and few years afterwards when Eng
land recognized the same republics,
she showed her teeth, but did not
bite. She will merely growl this
time. In fact she has nothing to
fight about" After discussing past
experiences of the United States, back
of the Fillmore administration, the
senator said: sit is unnecessary to
say why the committee disagrees with
the president in his opinion that
there is no form of government in
Cuba to recognize as republic. 1t is
sufficient to say that congress has full
power to declare it's recognition of the
Cuban republic, and that the United
States will, in the most friendly man.
ner possible, endeavor to secure
peace"
From the Senator's statement, it
would seem that the United States
has good precedent to follow, in it's
own action in years past toward the
struggling nations to the south of US.
and it should not be backward in do
ing as much now as then. Spain
will hardly fight this country. She
has her hands full now, without look
ing for farther trouble, and while, as
the Pioneer Press says, this country
should not play the bully toward a
weak nation, neither should it stand
idly by and allow Spain to scourge
and murder to her hearts content
without word of protest"

nOnSEO .oS~..s~-tED III.E. The Animals Seized with a Strange Mad
 ness When in Peril.

 The Animals Seized with Strange Mad
 ness When in Peril.
 The panic that is inspired in the minds of horses by a phenomenon so strange as fire can be understood only by those who have witnessed a fire in large stable where numbers of horses are kept, says the St. Louis Globe-Dem- ocrat. The scene that ensues is one of the most frightful that can be conceived. The horses are rescued from the burn ing building with the utmost difficulty and only with the most serious peril to the lives and limbs of the rescuers. The animals go mad with fright, rear, kick and dash from side to side so wild ly as to make an attempt at rescue as perilous as an adventure on a hostile battery. When rescued they will often break away from those who hold them and charge back at full speed into the burning building, there to perish in the flames. They resist every attempt to take them out. They have been known to tear their rescuers with their teeth, to throw them to the ground and tram pie on them, to kick out their brains. As the fury of the flames increases so does the panic of the unfortunate ami mals. They scream out in their agony as the fire reaches their bodies, vet will they not for all that seek safety in the open air. They are crazed with fear, and yet remain to be burned to death when ten seconds run would carry them to liberty. But they never make the run, and, as a rule, are burned alive in their stalls, where alone they seem to fancy they can find security. There is but one way to get them out and that is to blind them with some convenient cover, such as a coat or a blanket, and thus, unable to see the dangers about them, trembling in every limb, apparently ready to fall to the earth with fear, they may be led out. But the cover must not be too quickly removed from their eyes; in fact, it should not be taken off until the animals are out of sight of the burning building, otherwise they will break away from the persons leading them and, in spite of the stoutest ef- forts at restraint, will dash back to per iSh in the flames

MAKING Raisin. from Grape..

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Will you please answer the following?:
What Is the process of making raisins
from grapes? 2 Method Of preparing
the unfermented juice of the grape for
market? ]. p. NC.
Buena Vista.
The process of making raisins from
grapes consists essentially In drying them
at uniform temperature until they reach
a point where there is no longer any dan
ger of fermentation. Raisins cannot be
made Unfortunately from all kinds of
grapes, but special kinds are used for the
purpose. They are made chiefly from the
variety known as Muscat or Muscatel,
which is also known as the Gordo Blanco.
In order that the unfermented juice Of
the grape may be kept from fermenting,
Il Is necessary to preserve IL In alright
packages which have been subjected for
some time to temperature equal to that
OF the boiling-point OF water. The method
of sterilization for grape-juice is essen
TALLY that employed in preserving green
fruits in cans. The preservation Of grape
Juice by the addition Of salicylic-acid and
other antiseptic substances should never
be practiced. inasmuch as these sub
stances are highly prejudicial to health.
A complete discussion Of the raisin In
dustry, especially as practiced in Cali
fornia, may be found in a work entitled.

Protest Against the Raines Law
(New York HeraId.)


Tho striking Democratic gains In the
city and town elections recently held in
various parts OF the State show that the
people have taken the first opportunity
to protest by their ballot against tee
obnoxious Rajnes law and the high
handed methods by which 1t was forced
upon them.
The gains are general. and. in many
instances. overwhelming. They are
everywhere regarded as rebuke OF the
Republican party. on account OF the
Raines law. and they can be attributed
only to that. If elections were to be
held in the large cities-New York.
Brooklyn, Buffalo-the condemnation
would be still more sweeping. The re-
suits OF the elections in the cities and
towns already heard from may be taken
as forerunner OF the general protest
that win be voiced throughout the State
next November
Within the past three or four years
the people of New York have given the
most striking proofs OF their independ-
ence of party domination. and their do
termination TO rebuke machine despotism
and boss arrogance, They will have good
reason to administer such rebuke at
the coming election. and there Is every
probability that they will do so.
