Afairs Near a CRISIS.

Washington dispatch: 1t is the firm
conviction of officers of the administra-
ton that a crisis is approaching in Cuban
affairs, and that the only safe course
for the United States to pursue is to.
await developments. Many sensational
stories are atloat about immediate inter-
vention by the United States and extens-
i've military preparations for prospective
trouble with Spain. 1t Gun be stated.
with authority that the President re-
CARDS the present military situation on
the island as far too critical to warrant
action by the United States at this time.
That the military operations now act
lively begun by the Spanish will result
in bringing matters to such a stage as
to necessitate the recognition of the in
surgents or intervention in the interest
of humanity, the authorities regard as
absolutely certain. The President is SO
thoroughly convinced that there will soon
be important changes in the situation by
reason of the military operations that
are now in progress that he has not touch
ed upon the Cuban clause of his message
at all. This will be the last chapter
written.
Pending further developments on the
1S10uuS Az dlI1luOG Va " ~
will continue to be one of strict neutral-
ity. If there is no material change by
the time Congress %convenes, the Presi-
dents treatment of the Cuban question
In his message will be much the same as
last year. 1t can be stated authoritative
ly that the report made by General Lee
during his recent conferences with the
President and the SECRETARY of State
will not be productive of any immediate
change in the attitude of the United
States.
The presence in Washington of Ad-
miral Bunce, of the North Atlantic squad
ran, and his lengthy conference with Sec
rotary Herbert have given rise to many
sensational reports about impending trou-
BILE with Spain. One of the alarming re-
ports is that the administration has now
become thoroughly convinced that Spain's
extensive preparations ut home and the
recent large augmentation of the military
forces in Cuba are in anticipation of q
conflict with this country to be provoked
by Spain for the purpose of preserving
her dignity in the loss of Cuba. There
Is no justification for war talk at this
time. The visit of Admiral Bunce had
to do with the repair work on the ves-
sells of his squadron and his winter's
cruise.

FOR A LARGER Army.
Gen. Miles Recommendation to the
Secretary of War.

Oens Miles Recommendation to the
Secretary of War.
In his annual report to the Secretary OF
War, Maj. Gen. Miles, commanding the
army, says that fortunately during the
year the army has been called upon only
to limited extent to act either against
hostile Indians or bodies Of men engaged
i'll violating the laws of the United States
or International treaty obligations.
Gen. Miles believes that the freedom of
the country Of late from Indian outbreaks
is to he ascribed to the fact that the ln-
dams 0 receive better treatment from
the Government, that they are more i'm
pressed with the power Of the army to
punish them and that their affairs are in
many cases managed by competent army
officers. Therefore, he recommends that
this same policy as to the Indians be con-
tinued.
Gen. Miles says: IAN unwise argu-
ment has been made against the construc-
ton Of modern appliances Of war, Oh the
theory that it Is a danger and a menace to
the labOring classes. In some instances
IN: 1ied protests have been made against
such a national policy. The arguments
seem scarcely worthy of consideration,
yet it is deemed proper to call attention to
the fact that these national safeguards are
in nc sense a menace to any class OF our
citizens, not even to the humblest individ-
ual, but, OH the other hand, they ar. a
protection to the life, property and well
fare of all classes, from the highest to the
lowest. They protect not only the COM
merclaI centers with the a%ccumulations of
public buildings and private dwellings.
commerce and ship yards, butthe factory,
the foundry, the workshop and also the
savings banks and the cottages. In fact
the destruction of u great commercial
and manufacturing cities would be a ma
tional disaster far more serious and appal-
ling to the great masses of the laboring
people than it would be to any other class
Of our people,"
Gen. Miles renews his former recon-
mendations for an increase of the army,
on the ground that 1t has not kept pace
with the increased wealth Of public and
private interests.

Populist Chairman Claims tho State

A dispatch from Sioux Falls SAYS that
POpulist Chairman Estabrooke claims the
state by SOD for Bryan and the state ticket
by 1880. 1lo claims the Legislature
by 20 OH joint ballot. Republican Chair.
man Elliott comedies the Legislature and
the state ticket to the Populists, but claims
the state for Mckinley by 70O. Only one
county is unaccOuntcd for.
A Huron dispatch says: 1t is so close
in several counties that the result will not
be Known unit! the official count is cam
vassed. Returns III from all organized
counties give Mckinley 500 to 700 ma
jority, after deducling literally for the
possible vote in un0rganizcd counties and
a number OF remote precincts. The Re-
uDlican state and congressional ticket
Will have from 2WO TO 400 majority. The
Legislature is POpulist by 10 and possibly
l2majority.
A Yankton dispatch says that the Re.
publicans have only fifty threc.ou of 1I6
members OF the Legislature. This insures
the election Of II free silver United States
Senator. The congressional and state
ticket is in doubt. All returns are not
received, but the state is very close. The
apparent majority for Mckinley is less
than quo. The fusiOniStS have prepared
10 contest in several counties.
A Pierre dispatch dated Nov. 9th says:
South Dakota is still in doubt and prob
ably will remain so until the official count
Is made.
AT the present time it looks as though
a portion of each ticket may 90 in by a
few votes, or that either one of them may
go in as a whole by very small majorities.
The state canvassing board does not meet
until the Thursday following the fourth
Monday after the day of election, which
this year is December 8, and if the returns
by counties are not definite enough to
settle the question before that date, there
Will be a great deal of anxiety in this
state for the next month.
Thu question of who is really elected is
SO close that the small vote in the UNI
organized counties may turn the scale
completely. All of these counties which
held elections. with the exception of
Gregory, have reported. They have given
practically so majority for Bryan and the
Populist state ticket, and it is estimated
that Gregory will add 100 more to this. Ii
that county holds up 10 the estimate it is
likely to elect the whole Populist state
ticket.

The terms merely stipulate that If a
