WEYLER ON WAR.

The difficulty which confronts
Spain is that if her trouble in Cuba
is only riot, she offers the humil-
iatiug spectacle of q great nation
unable in two years and half to
put down that riot with 100000
soldiers, q navy, and the expendl-
ture of hundreds of millions of dol
lars; while on the other hand, if
the affair is war, she must take
the consequences of its recogni-
ton as such by foreign powers,
says the ", Y, San.
Captain-General Weyler seems
inclined, after convincing ex.
perience, to think that what he has
ON his hands is not a riot but a
war. "The country being in a
state of war, and therefore all con.
stitutlonal guarantees suspended"
he says, IN writing to Gen. Lee
about the case of Hugnet. We do
not suppose, of course, that he is
able to commit his Government to
a recognition of a state of belli.
gerency on the part of the insurg-
ents, and perhaps he would try to
explain his words so as to conform
with the theory held in Madrid;
but he is right in discerning the
existence of state of war in Cuba,
and it is about the only discovery
that can account for his military
failures.
Our own Government is not
likely TO pitch upon this phrase of
Weyler's with a view of making
much of it, although it occurs in
official correspondence, Yet it
may possess certain value in di-
recting attention to the fact that
the Spanish Generals themselves
know that Cuba is sin state of
war" and that it is about time for
us to act on our own knowledge
of the fact. That call constitutions
al guarantees are therefore sus-
pended" we long ago found in the
experience of other American citi-
zens besides Hugnet. II is time
that Spain, in acting as ifan actual
state of war existed in Cuba and
in imposing its hardships upon us,
should also take its responsible
ties.
The first step of the administra-
tion will of course be to open the
negotiations with which Gen.
Woodford is intrusted. But should
these prove wholly futile, it may
do we'll to remember that there
already exists on the statute books
a resolution passed by overwhelm-
ing majorities in the Fifty-fourth
Congress, expressing the opinion
that "a condition of public war ex-
lists" in Cuba, and that the rights
of belligerents should be accorded
to the Cuban Government in our
territory and ports.

burst out when Charles LaBar, VINO

the office of regent.

Leyshon, orator; Thomas CosgroVe,

was District Deputy Grand Regent ID.

is very handsome, suitably inscribed on
the inside and ornamented with the
emblem of the order inlaid in gold and

LELAND STANFORD ESTATE.
Mrs. Stanford, as EXecntrix, Decides
to Close II Up.

San Francisco, Feb. 5.-Mrs. Leland
stanford has decided to close up the
estate of her husband of which she is
eXecutriX. First, she will dispose of
lands and afterward personal property.
From the proceeds the balances due
the legatees, under the will, amounting
to nearly a million dollars, will be paid
and allow the residue to go to the Uni
Versity at Palo Alto.
Although Mrs. Stanford has decided
to realize on the estate, and has ap-
pointed agents for the disposal of the
lands, years may be required to carry
out her purpose. The outside lands will
be sold off first and later the Stanford
residence and other realty in San Fran
cisco and Alameda counties will be
placed on the market The outside
lands, which are to receive immediate
attention, consist of ranches held by
the estate. They are the Copeland
ranch, Tehema county, 5000 acres; a
5000 acre ranch near Martinez, the
Coon and Fell ranches in San Mateo
county, aggregating 1850 acres, and
small ranches near San Luis, Obispo
and Redlands.
