AMERICANS ARE
SAFE At HAVANA.
Spaniards at Cuba's Capital Give
No Outward Demonstration
of Hatred.
WILL CHECK DISTURBANCES
Warning Issued by the Governor Gen.
eral-Mild Tone of the
Press.

(From Staff Correspondent of the United Press.
HAVANA, CUBA, March There has
been absolutely no outward demonstration
of feeling against Americans here. The
city is remarkably quiet to-day.
The Marquis de Palmerola, secretary to
the GOVERNOR General, speaking for the
Government, said that no manifestation
would be permitted. The authorities were
prepared to check any disturbance They
would follow the example of the central
Government, and would prevent any gath
ering of the people to protest against the
action of the American Senate should such
a gathering be attempted.
The Marquis further said that. after the
action of the Senate upon the belligerency
question and the meaning of belligerent
rights were perfectly understood, it would
be seen that there was nothing to affect
the present friendly relations between
Spain and the United States. Strict neu-
trality for the present would be main
tanned.
The Marquis deplored the publication in
the United States of reports attrlbuting
atrocities to Captain-General Weyler. He
declared that such reports were false, and
added that their use in the debate in the
Senate had bad effect.
Instead of being harsh in his treatment
of political prisoners General Weyler re-
quired that absolute proof of their guilt
be furnished before they were deported.
The editorials in the Havana papers on
the action of the Senate are couched in
mild tones. The full text of the resolution
has not been published. The papers assure
their readers that there is no probability
of President Cleveland signing it, even if
it is approved by the House of Repre-
sentatives. j. FRANK CLARK

In addition to some of the students here
a number of roughs and some Republicans
attempted to make demonstration. They
rapidly traversed the streets from the

thence to the bull ring shouting ''Down

1t now seems that all the sill
yer forces will unite on single
plank, or at least make the sill
yer question paramount, which
should be the case. This would
simplify matters and draw the
line; it would solidify the two
elements and be a test Of
strength. The people are begin
ming to be alarmed over the gold
proposition from the fact that
should it DO the sole standard of
values, so declared by law, all
debts would treble in amount, as
it would take from three to four
dollars of anything but gold to
pay the notes and obligations
that are payable in gold now;
hence, absolute and total ruin
would be the result, notwith-
standing the lying declarations
of the gold. base-fool papers. The
people must be on the alert, for
the old maxim eternal vigi-
lence is the price of liberty"
never had more meaning than it
possesses now, and our people
must realize the fact that all
homes are in danger, except the
rich. This gold base-fool bust
ness is the well concocted
scheme of rascally foreigners and
some of our own traitorous con-
gressmen, who are trying to sell
the heritage of the people for
their own damnable private
gain. They say, $50 hell with
liberty" Damn tie people," and
go to work in a systematic man
ner to accomplish their dastardly
purposes. To think for a mo-
ment that the people would or
could ratify the internal work of
the st. Louis convention passes
belief; to imagine that this brave
and progressive people would
tamely hold out their hands for
such devilish tricksters to fasten
the shackles on; to think that
Mckinley, or any other self-re-
speeding man, would consent to
stand on such a platform, know
ing that it would tend in every
way to degrade and impoverish
his people, is only accounted for
on the plea of an Unsuitable am
bition, with no thought of the
means employed to crafty it.

THE GOLD STANDARD.

The people of this country can
not enjoy full prosperity if their
financial system is permanently
adjusted to the gold standard.
The single gold standard would
require that every obligation of
the government, the states, the
cities, the school districts and
the individuals be paid in the
narrowed base Of gold.
According to the Statistician,
a standard authority on all sta
tistical matters, the aggregated
Indebtedness OF the people of
this country is $27, 1898, 1860.
The interest rate upon this debt
is not less than 6 per cent, or an
annual requirement of $1,697,-
$4,000. The average lifetime
OF these obligations is not more
than 5 years. There must be
annually paid, therefore, So, $685.

On March |, 1896, the United
States held less than $6OO,OOO,-
600 of goddess than one
twelfth the amount required to
pay the annually maturing writ
ten Indebtedness of its people.
The gold standard if adopted,
would mean that the people of
this country were to try to carry
S2S,000,000,00o of indebtedness
upon less than .$6O0,OO0,OOO of
gold, and at the same time con.
duet all their enormous business
and industrial transactions up-
on the same narrowed base.
The Spokssman-Review under

with safety.

gold standard they will discover
