VAN WICK WILL APPOINT NONE But
DEMOCRATS I'm a statement regarding his
patronage IS Mayor of the greater New York
Mr.. Van Wyck said yesterday:
"As to the men shall call to fill Offices
under me I will be frank and plain. Put
none but democrats on guard shall be the
motto of my administration. Fitness and
honesty and worth as citizen shall together
make up my first demand in selecting man
for an Office. 1 must have proof that tho
public is to be honestly, faithfully, efficiently
served, and that no call Of duty on the part of
an official is to be denied. But to find such a
man for every appointment under me need
not leave the ranks Of the democracy, and 7
will not. The record of that mans democracy
must BIO pure and must be straight The sole
proposal is good government according to the
expressed will Of the people. In tho ranks of
the democracy can be found thousands who
answer every requirement that the public
veal demands. and from the ranks of the
democracy shall come my whole list of ap.

THE CUBAN QUESTION.

A Berlin correspondent recently had
an interview with the Hon. Andrew
D. White, the American ambassador to
Germany, on the subject of the attitude
OF America towards Cuba. Mr.. White
said:
''It is absurd to talk of the United
States intending to annex Cuba. An
immense majority of the American cit
liens are entirely averse to such a
course; neither do they desire con-
hiot with Spain regarding the island.
Fifty years hence, perhaps later, Cuba,
which will then have become civilized,
will come to the United States on it's
own initiative and without an effort on
the part of the Washington govern
ment. That future solution of the
question seems to me to be inevitable,
but at present we will have nothing to
do with the annexation. The efforts
of President Mckinley and the govern.
ment are directed to the maintenance
of peace. We anticipate Senior Sagas.
ta's administration in Cuba with con-
fdence and interest, but it is doubtful
whether the promised autonomy will
induce the insurgents to disarm. They
want complete independence, and will
no more surrender to General Blauco
than to General Weyler. The paci6ca.
ton of the island is still remote"
