WASHNGroN, MARCH Z.-Cuba's cry
for liberty has been answered, by the
United States Senate AT least. Cuba
was accorded belligerent rights by the
Senate last Saturday, and the Presi
dent of the United States was author
lied TO interpose his offices with the
Spanish government for the recognition
of the independence OF the island.
There was practically no opposition 10
the adoption OF the resolutions, which
Were adopted after stirring debate,
in which most OF the speeches favored
the action. Just what the House will
10 is somewhat uncertain, but there is
no doubt that harmonious action will
be the result. 1t is probable that the
House viii accept the resolution Of the
Senate, in aS much as 1t retains the
essential features of the House resolu-
ton, but expressed IN more concrete.
The language Of the Senate resolution
is construed by the Senate committee
aS a threat to Spain that il she does not
recognize the independence OF her own
colonies now in revolt this government
will do SO IN due time. The committee
contends that congress cannot do more
than this. However. the cause OF the
Cuban insurgents has made distinct
progress, within the past week, So far
as the congress of the United States j.
concerned. Whatever differences OF
opinion exist regarding the recognition
of the rebels as insurgents are more
rs 10 the form that recognition should
take than a. % The fact itself. Judg-
ing from the tenor OF the speeches In
the Senate, he grave and reverend
seignIors OF that body fully appreciate
the possible consequences of the Iecog-
milton of Cuba by the United States,
ami are prepared to take them. The
possible, though by no means, probable
consequences would be that spain
would declare war against the United
States; al least Senator Morgan and
others are of tbs opinion. 1t Is not at
all likely. however, that such Il thing
would happen, as SPANS cNchequer l.
in no condition to warrant her in en-
tering upon war which could baye no
other conclusion than her defeat. and
the consequent pay ment by her OF biz
war debt. But there j. more than
mere speeches 10 give hope to the
Cuban leaders Conferences have
taken place between the members of
the 70 eIgn affairs committees Of the
l.. $. Senate and House with view
to expedite the passage N the latter
body Of the resolutions which have a.
ready passed the Senate. II can be
safely predicted that the action of CON
gresS will be of such character as TO
give substantial comfort to the Cuban
patriots regardless of what course the
President may take in regard to it.
The edicts sent forth by Gen. Weyler
and the terror which they. IN the light
of his former rule, nave evoked among
the Cubans. have not failed of effect
here, in that they have strengthened
the conviction that the United States
must do all that lies in it, power to
stop the conflict in the island.

ANOTHER IRON ROAD.
The GreatNOrthern Will Touch
The MeSaba Iron
Mines.

The Grand Rapids Magnet says
thar the Great Northern surveyors
who have just completed survey
from the Fosston branch to Deer
river are now running a line from
there to Duluth via the Mesaba
range. The Magnet SAYS:
LAS rule, surveyors are extreme
~ leticent as to their movements.
In fact except the engineer in charge
of the party, very little is known as
to the route to be selected. How
ever, the Magnet has been able to
CLEAN that the proposed route from
Deer river is to run between Bass
and Deer lakes, along the foot hills
of Missabe range, striking the Dia-
mond and Arcutrus mines, thence
southeasterly to Swan lake and then
cross the Duluth, Mississippi Il
Northern into st. Louis County,
then follow the st. Louis river into
Duluth. If this is true, and we
believe it is, then all published state
ments that a traffic arrangement
had been entered into by the Duluth,
Superior & Western and the Great
Northern, whereby the latter was to
use the track OF the former from Deer
river to Duluth, were mere specula-
lions and without foundation. 1t
does not appear as II the Duluth,
Superior & Western could afford to
allow the Great Northern to enter
it's territory and take away large
share of it's business, which it will do
if it goes into the range. Develop
ments in the near future Will be anx-
fously watched"

Grand Ra pids Review: The week
has not been as favorable for log
ging as it might have been. The
heavy snow on thelakes and swamps
prevented the frost from freezing
them thoroughly. so there were a
good many soft spots to contend
against, and the warm sun during
the early part of the week caused
the water to rise ON the lakes. Cooler
weather will soon exert it's influence
with the probability that there will
soon be ice enough to make the lakes
entirely safe for hauling.

BURGLARS AT RANDALL.
Attempt to Open the Safe in
Staples Store Sunday
Night.

Burglaries nrs becoming quite
common in the little village OF Ram
dali, one occurring there Sunday
night.
Staples store at that place was
broken into by the burglars to crack
the safe, which was unsuccessful.
They were evidently experienced
crackmen. and must have been
frightened away while engaged In
drilling the safe. They were after
money and not succeeding in OPEN
ing the safe, they took but very little
merchandise,\ very likely with the
idea that it would he the means of
their capture.
1t was not long ago that the store
Of s. C. Cochran, of that village. was
entered by burglars and quite Il
large amount of merchandise, In
Guiding macklnaws, was taken.
The thieves were not caught, and
no clue to them was ever obtained.
There is no clue yet found to the
men who made the attempt on
Staples safe Sunday night, and as
the few articles taken were not OF
great value there will doubtless be
NO great effort made to capture
them. 1t is quite probable that the
thieves have reached a safe distance
by this time. The merchants Of
Randall are becoming tired OF these
burglaries and will be more careful
in the future.
