DEADLOCK ON CUBAN AFFAIRS

The Cuban campaign in the
United States is at present at
tracing more attention than the
efforts of the insurgents. The
principal development since the
last mail is the opposition to the
action OF the Senate committee
in it's attempt 10 force President
Cleveland to recognize the patri-
OTIS. Not alone is there healthy OPP
position among the Senators, but
business men of Eastern cities
who have hitherto kept quiet have
held meetings and passed resOlu-
tons deprecating action that will
threaten war with Spain. Senator
Hale declares that the supporters
of the Cameron resolution cannot
muster enough votes to carry ii
through the Senate. Secretary oil
ney has declared war against the
Senate Committee ON Foreign At
fairs by publicly announcing that
the power To recognize the so
called Republic of Cuba as an in
dependent state rests exclusively
with the Executive His remarks
are practically to the effect that
Congress may pass all the resolu-
tons it pleases. but President
Cleveland will DO as ne pleases.
which means that he will not rec
Ognize the insurgents.
Thus the situation SINNERS
down TO a fight between the adj
ministratiOn and its opponents in
Congress. All that the latter can
hope to accomplish Is To east an
unpopular shade upon President

OF
LUBRICANTS.

To those unacquainted with these
brands we beg to say that while we do
not believe in decrying the products of
our competitors, we do believe in stat
ing THE TRUTH, namely, that We
have the finest Lubricants that for
density of viscosity, high fire test and
perfect working qualities cannot De
excelled. We present to your notice
several brands for the purpose that
you may select the oil most suitable
for your work, as an oil may prove
successful on one class of machinery,
and will not always be suitable for
work of an entirely different character.
In sending orders, please mention
whether it is Engine or Cylinder Oil
required, and we guarantee to send you
the best high grade Oil in the world.
We have a large number of testimon-
ials which we do not publish for two
reasons:
First-We do not wish to convey the
idea that our customers are personally
interested in the sale of our Oils.
Second-The merits of these brands
of Oils have established our large Oil
Trade, and we are satisfied to only ask
strangers to these brands to give us a
trial.
We have in connection with these
Oils handsome line of Oil Containers,
with a capacity of 60 gallons. These
will prove very serviceable. Look at
them, anyway, if you have the chance.

Gus.
Outside the United States the
war and war talk goes on apace
Spain seems to be preparing for
war; has appealed 10 the Euro
pean powers for assistance and
received the cold shoulder. Am
erican fiIibusters are constantly
going 10 Cuba, some getting kill

with glory. General Maceo is
doubt dead. but the in
surgents are still in good spirits.
General Weyler has again gone
to the seat of war 10 take per
sOnal command. and viii be heard
from later. This is about the stu
alton of today. The fighting, the
continues. but so far
as recognition by the United
States is concerned, there will be
no advance movement during the
present administration.

ducers of sugar are required 10 pay
this duty except those carrying on the
industry in the Hawaiian Islands. The
principal reason why an exception has
been made in their favor is that the
Islands have been considered almost as
a part of the United States. Nearly
four years age the Dole Government
forwarded 10 Washington a treaty pre-
viding for annexation. When Cleve-
land became President he put the
treaty in his pocket. II has been sup
posed however that it expressed the
will OF the Hawaiian Government
Now. if sugar planters who have be
come millionaires through treaties ana
laws which gave them free admission
70 the American market, and which
relieve them from the operation of
American laws denying American
sugar producers the benefit of cheap
contract labor. bound together 10 op-
pose annexation, they will certainly be
placed on the footing of other foreign
producers of sugar. In any revision
of the tariff, sugar is certain 10 be
protected. duty of IL cents a pound
on foreign sugar is urged by advocates
of revenue tariff as a revenue meas
ure. and by advocates of a protective
tariff as a protective measure. There
will be no deep sympathy in the Unit
ed States for Hawaiian sugar planters
who make exceptional profits through
the employment of cheap contract Ia
Dor. If the planters of the Islands are
not willing to be put upon the Amer
lean labor standard, they will be re-
quired TO pay the duty of their product
which is levied partly in the interests !
of American labor.

HAWAIIAN SUGAR-PLANTERS.
[san Francisco Bulletin

The half-doZen Hawaiian sugar
planters who are organizing opposition
to the annexation of the Islands to the
United States are possibly making
trouble for themselves. The produc-
tion of sugar has been made especially
profitable in the Islands through the
conditions established by the reciproc-
ity treaty. Under the present tariff
there is an adj valorem duty of 40 per
cent on raw sugar. All foreign pro-
