man, regarding work on the Astoria

misapprehension, or else the gentle
man interviewed had received wrong

view is as follows: "Mr. William
Honeyman said yesterday to an Ore
gonian reporter that he was very
much encouraged over the progress
already made.
I'VE have at least three hundred
men picking dirt all along the line, and
We want more. Within the next week

Independence of Cuba.

From the hour OF achieving their own
independence the people Of the United
States have regarded with sympathy
the struggles Of other American peoples
TO free themselves from European dom
inatIon. We watch with deep and abld-
Ing Interest the heroic battle of the Gu
ban patriots against cruelty and op-
preston, and our best hopes go out for
the full success Of their determined con-
test for liberty.
The government Of Spain, having lost
control Of Cuba and being unable to
protect the property or lives Of resi-
dent American citizens or to comply
with its treaty obllgatlones. we believe
that the government of the United
States should actively use It's influence
and good offices to restore peace and
give independence to the island.
