meDL was aS announced iu us last az
nual message to congress, one of trad
tioual sympathy With people strug-
Cling for autonomy aud freedom. but
nevertheless this government felt its
plain duty to fulfil honestly iuteroa-
tioual obligation. The President fur
ther said that every precauttiou had
been taken so that if occasion should
arise 10 Cuba the United States could
assert itself with force. but he did not
think that occasion would arise.
There is ole important matter which
Spain will soon have to consider. That
is large number Of claims Of Ameri-
Gao who have suffered serious financial
losses as result of the Cuban revolu-
ton. The state department has re-
ceived from Americans claims against
Spain probably $4,000, 1000. These
claims are based oo losses sustained
under various heads Among the items
are losses on account of plantations
seized aud held by Spanish troops
The damages demanded on this account
are heavy Then there are claims for
losses On account of the owners
Of the plantations haviog been
prevented from plautiog pew
crops. The money value Of these de-
nands will amount to something like
SIS. 100000. So far as can be learned.
none of the claims have vet been pressed
on the government at Madrid They will
be urged 10 due course, however, aud
cavefui consideration of them asked.
The report is current tonight that it
has been decided to augement the Eu
ropean feet materially, and that seve-
raj vessels on the China station. partIc-
ularly the armored cruiser Olympia,
which is match for the best of Spain's
ships, have been ordered to take the

vessels which are their superiors.

The Situation in Cuba.

Sylvester Scovel. in long article
in the New York World, predicting
the independence of Cuba, says:
Spain has 200, 900 troops in Cuba
Two thirds of them are needed to
guard the fortified towns and the
trochas The other third forms Gen.
Weyler's army of operations Of So.
600 men, guerriIlas, regular cavalry,
infantry and mountain artillery They
are picked troops.
This force cannot well be increased
in numbers without large reinforce
ments from Spain, for to withdraw or
to weaken single garrison means
the taking and destroying of a town
by the Cubaps and the loss to Spain
Of stronghold, a storehouse aud a
base of possible operations.
The trocha garrisons might be
brought into active service without
weakening Spain's chances, but the
"trocha idea" seems to form such a
part of the Spanish military brain
that it is not likely to be done The
Cuban leaders, too, may be relied
upon to keep up vast amount of
demonstration near those alleged
military "strong" lines to foster the
Spanish notion that 10000 useless
trocha soldiers are useful
Of Spain's $4,000 soldiers avalla
Bile for active duty, 10000 are now
being sent against Maceo's noun
tains in eastern Pitar del Rio, just
west ~of the Mariel (Weyler's)
trocha. The other 20. 900 are in
scattered columns
Weyter has taken the field. Ills
forces are near the Rubi mountains.
He cannot hope to win even should
Maceo be killed, for then the Cuban
army would merely split up. would
be all the harder to catch and would
occupy the province The war
would only last the longer.
1t is likely that Maceo will have an
easy time of it shortly, for unless
Weyler deserts his eastern trocha or
abandons many towns, he must move
most Of his force out of Pinar del
Rio province, across the Mariel
troca and into east central Cuba, to
use them against the westward
movement in three columns of Gen.
Gomez, whose advance guard is al.
ready in Matanzas province.
Even should Weyler abandon the
eastern trocha, collect all his availa
Bile scattered columns and immediate.
ly mass 80 900 men against Maceo,
it is not at all likely that he would
crush or even corner and starve out
the Cuban general, such are the won
derful strategic advantages of Cuba's
western wooded mountains
Weyler may even nse this number
of men against Gomez. This move
would seem equally unavailing, for
last year he tried it without success
with over l25,000 men, and with
railroads, telephones and telegraphs
at his disposal.
There are no telegraph or tele
phone lines intact now, and there is
nothing to prevent the Cubans, who
have plenty of dynamite from quick
ly disabling the three slimly guarded
railroads.
If Weyler divides his $4,000 troops
between Maceo aud Gomez. he re.
duces his prospects of defeating
either

was stated here to day by an official
that the government would soon
send battery Of artillery to old Fort
CIinch, which commands the bar to
this port. 1t was also stated that a
coast defense vessel will be stationed
near Fort Clinch. These precau-
tions, it is said, are taken because of
impending troubles with Spain.

THE TRUE MONEY.

THAT which we call money. my fell
low citizens, and with which values
are measured and settlements made,
must be as true as the bushel which
measures the grain of the farmer and
as honest as the hours of labor which
the man who tolls Is required to give
Cloud applause.) The one must be as
full and complete and as honest as
the other. tApplauscD our currency
today is good-all of II as good as gold
and II is the unfaltering determina-
ton Of the Republican party to so keep
and maintain 1t forever. (Cheers). 1t
is the duty of the people of this country
to stand unitedly against every effort
to degrade our currency or debaSe our
credit. (Cries of they will.D They
must unite now. as they have always
united in the past. in every great crisis
of our country's history. When the
country seemed wildly bent on infia-
tion preceding the resumption of
specie payments. the sober sense of
American people without regard to
party united and stemmed that threat
ened tide of irredeemable paper money
and reputation. and placed and kept
the nation on the rock of public honor
sound finance and honest currency.
You have rightly stated, sir. that
in sound money and the highest pub
lie faith and honor on the part of the
government of the United States to all
its creditors. but also that 1t believes
in a tariff which. while raising money
enough to conduct the government
economically administered, will serve
the highest and best interests of Amer
lean labor, American agriculture
American commerce and American cit
izenship. (Great applause) Some of
our political opponents are given to
saying that the tariff question is set
tied. If we are not wrong i'm inter
preting their meaning. we think they
are right naughter) and thank them
for the confession. AppauseD We
believe that the tariff question is set
.led--settled in the minds and hearts
of the American people and settled on
the side Of protection tremendous
cheering). but however firmly it may
be settled in the public mind. ii is not
yet settled in public law. What is in
the hearts and cOnsciences of the peo-
pie touching any public question is not
effective until it is written In public
statute. and this can only be done
through the exercise Of the elective
franchise in the choice of a congress of
the United States. which makes our
public laws. No one. take It. will re-
gard the present tariff law as last
and final settlement Of the question.
Whatever may be our differences about
the economic principle upon which tar
iff legislation should be made all agree
that the present tariff law Is a failure
even as Il revenue measure.
