Every farmer would do well to keep them moved down, and in a short time the pest will be conquered.

that witnesses in affairs of this kind are

THEY EXPECT INTERVENTION.
Madrid Papers Look for America to
StUp the War.

Madrid. Dec. 9.-The general opinion
here is that the references to Cuba and
Spain contained in President Clevelaud's
message to Congress show that ii is the
intention of the United States to con-
form more and more to the Monroe doc
trine every time a case arises to which
the principle is applicable.
The Cabinet, after debating the text
OF the message to-day. Will form some
definite Judgment, which, it Is believed,
will result In a modification of the re-
lations of Spain with the United States.
The Heraldo says the Presidents s
message foreshadows the intervention
of the United States in Cuba in March
next. but adds that Spain will repel the
arrogance of the American Government.
