WASHINGTON, Dec Mail ad-

CUBANS HAVE FAILED

essary for Recognition.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The interest
felt by c6ngressn1en in the attitude ar,
sumed by the Administered ton towards
the Cuban tnsurrection, is evinced by
the NUMEROUS calls Secretary Olney Is
receiving from such of the senator's
and members Of the house as have ar,

ed, the department has little informa
ton on that subject to communicates.
The one thing that does appear to be
established by the testimony of these
callers, is that the administration con-
templates no change in the line OF
policy 1t has pursued so consistently
since the beginning of the inSurrection
two years ago. While that part of the
presidents message which will deal
with the subject has not yet been fin
ally reduced to form, it is believed that
it will be brief but eogent presenta-
ton of reasons that have Influenced the
administration in holding to its pres
ent attitude. The events of the past
years campaign probably will be
rapidly reviewed with the purpose OF
showing that the insurgents so far
have failed to meet the requirements
originally laid down by the president as
essential to their recognition. They
have fought no general engagement to
successful issue; have not established
a permanent seat of government, and
have no seaport. In other words. they
have not sensibly changed their con-
dition from what it was a year ago,
so that by the same line of reasoning
laid down by the administration in the
statement send officially published. last
spring, there is at present no occa-
sion for change of policy ON our part.
1t is presumed, however that In addi-
ton to a statement to this effect, the
president will not hesitate to dep1ore
the continuance of the present unsat-
isfactory conditions in Cuba, injurious
as they are to American interests and
mate to Spain @the necessity of ter
mination of existing events at rea-
sonably early date.

NO ABSENTEE JURORS.
Something Unprecedented In Grand
Jury Work.

For the first time in many years, the
grand jury Of Hennepin county con-
sists of a full panel. The law specifies
that the grand jury shall consist of
not less than sixteen members and not
more than twenty-three, before it can
proceed to business, and generally it
consists of very few more than the
minimum number specified by law,
This time, however, the working jury
consists of the full number, and per-
haps that accounts for the celebrity
with which the work is being con-
cluded.
The jury has been at work less than
two full days, and from present APP
pearances it will finish its labors for
this sitting today. The Jail cases are
being rapidly pushed through, and it
appears that there will not be as many

yet been made, but one is expected this
