mand, and for gold. IL they are put
out I'm any other way they may return
to be followed by another bond issue
TO redeem them-another interest bear
ing debt TO redeem a non-interest bear
ing debt
IN my view it is of the utmost i'm
portance that the government should be
relieved from the burden of providing
ali the gold required for exchanges ana
export. This responsibility is alone
borne by the government without any
Of the usual and necessary banking
powers TO help itself. The banks do not
feel the strain Of gold redemption. The
whole strain rests upon the government
and the size Of the gold reserve in the
treasury has come to be- with or with
out reason, the signal Of danger or of
security. This ought TO be stopped.
If we are 10 have an era of prosperity
in the country. with sufficient receipts
for the exports of the government, we
may feel no immediate embarrassment
from our present currency, but the dan
ger still exists. and viii be ever present,
menacing US so long as the existing
system continues. W
ENDORSES CAGES PLAN.
The secretary of the treasury has out
lined plan in great detail for the pur-
pose of removing the threatened re-
currence Of a depleted gold reserve and
save us from future embarrassment on
that account. TO this plan l invite
your careful consideration.
I concur with the secretary Of the
treasury in his recommendation that
national banks be allowed to issue notes
to the face value Of the bonds which
they have deposited for circulation, and
that the tax on circulating notes Sc
cured by deposit OF such bonds be re-
duced to one-half OF / per cent per
annum. also join him in recommend
ing that authority be given for the es-
Establishment Of national banks, with
minimum capital Of $4,000. This will

THE CUBAN INSURRECTION.
The most important problem with
which this government IL now called
upon to deal pertaining 10 its foreign
relations concerns its duty toward
Spain and the Cuban Instruction.
Problems and conditions more or less
in common with those now existing
have confronted this government at
various times In the past. The story
of Cuba for many years has been one
OF unrest: growing discomfort: an eff
fort toward larger enjoyment of lib
erty and self control; of organized re-
sistance to the mother country. of de-
preston after distress and warfare,
and or Intellectual settlement. to be fol-
lowed by renewed revolt. For no en-
during period since the Acknowledgement
of the continental possessions OF Spain
in the western continent has the con-
dftion of Cuba or the policy of Spain
toward Cuba not caused concern to the
United States.
The prospect from time to time that
the weakness of SPANS hold upon the
island and the political vicissitudes and
embarrassments of the home govern
ment might lead to the transfer OF
Cuba to a continental power called
forth. between 1923 and 1860, various
emphatic declarations Of the policy Of
the United States to permit no dis
turbance of Cubus connection with
Spain under the direction OF independ-
ence or acquisition by US through pur-
chase: nor has there been any change
Of this declared policy since upon the
part of the government.
The revolution which began in 1865
lasted for ten years, despite the stren-
uous efforts Of the successive penin-
sular governments to suppress It. Then,
as now. the government of the United
States testified its grave concern and
offered its aid to put an end TO blood
shed in Cuba, The overtures made by
General Grant were refused, and the
war dragged on entailing great loss
of life ana treasure and increased In
jury to American interests besides

currency funds demands a constant re-
Punishment Of the gold reserve. This
is especially so in times of business
panic and when the revenues are insult
ficient to meet the expenses of the gov
eminent. At such times the govern
ment has no other way TO supply its
deficit and maintain redemption but
through the increase Of it's bonded debt,
as during the administration of my
predecessor, when $262, s15. 400 of Az per
cent bonds were issued and sold, and
the proceeds used to pay the expenses
of the government in excess OF the
revenues and sustain the gold reserve.
While 1t is true that the greater part
of the proceeds of these bonds were
used to supply deficient revenues. a
considerable portion was required to
maintain the gold reserve.
| earnestly recommend that as soon
as the receipts OF the government are
quite sufficient TO pay all the expen-
SEES Of the government. that when any
Of the United States notes are presented
for redemption In gold, and are redeem
ed in gold such notes shall be kept and
set apart and only paid out in ex-
change for gold. This is an obvious
duty. II the holder Of the United
states notes prefers the gold and gets
it from the government he should not
receive back from the government a
United States note without paying gold
in exchange for 1t. The reason for this
Is made all the more apparent when the
government issues an interest bearing
debt to provide gold for the redemp-
ton OF United States notes-a nom
interest bearing debt. Surely it should

throwing enough announced burdens
of neutrality upon this government.
In 1873 peace was brought about by the
truce of ZanjOn, obtained by negotia-
lions between the Spanish commander,
Martinez DeCampos, and the insurgent
leaders.
The present insurrection broke out in
February. 1885. II Is not my purpose
at this time to recall it's remarkable
Increase or to characterize its tenacious
resistance against the enormous forces
massed against IL by Spain. The re-
volt and the efforts to subdue II car
ried destruction 20 every quarter Of the
island, developing wide proportions
and defying the efforts of Spain for its
suppression. The civilized code OF war
has been disregarded no less 50 by the
Spaniards than by the Cubans.
GRAvEST APPREHENSION.
The existing conditions cannot but
fill this government and the American
people with the gravest apprehension.
There is no desire on the part of the
people TO profit by che misfortunes of
Spain. We have only the desire to see
the Cubans prosperous and contented.
Enjoying that measure Of self control
which is the inaienable right OF man,
protected in their right TO reap the
benefit Of the exhaustless treasures of
their country.
The offer made By my predecessor in
April. 1896, rendering The friendly offices
Of this government, failed. Any media
ton on our part was not accepted. IN
brief the answer read: There is no
effeetual way to pacigy Cuba unless it
begins with the actual submission of
the rebels TO the mother country. Then
only could Spain act ia the promised
direction. Of her own motion and after
her own plans.
The cruel policy OF concentration
was Initiated Feb. 16, 1896. The pro-
ductive districts controlled by the Span
ish armies were depopulated. The agri-
cultural inhabitants were herded In and
about the garrison towns, their lands

mittee would pay S135 for expenses
that would probably be incurred.
A motion was made that Mr.. Lovdal's
offer be accepted, but Mr.. Coleman got
the floor and explained that the sums
| asked by the otheS- individual clubs
| would not exceed 500 each, and that it
would not look well to allow the Nc
Neils $135 and the other clubs $50
each or less. He thought it would not
look well.
Mr.. Bauer said the people had often
helped out the Mcneil Club, and it was
should reciprocate.
| 1t was decided to lay the matter over
until the next meeting.
Then said Mr.. LovdaI, It under
stand you have no use for the Mcneil
Club" and he got as far as the door
before he was called back and an effort
at Cancellation was made. He explained
that he fully realized the position, re-
garding finances, in which the commit
tee was placed, but that the sum stated
by him would no more than pay the
expenses of the club in making prepar-
ationS for the affair The club, he said
was not DESTROYS of offering it's services,
but a majority of the officers had ex-
pressed a willingness to do so, subject
to the action of the club as a whole
The club would positively not sing for
a less sum than that stipulated.
Mr.. Lovdal agreed to explain matters
to the club. so that its action might be
reported at the next meeting. He said
the Mcneil Club had a reputation to
| maintain, and would not give concert
without ample time for rehearsals.
The committee adjourned till Thurs

The Committee on Finance reported
that>the Board of Trustees had agreed
to appropriate $1,000 toward liquidat-
ing the indebtedness to be incurred by
the celebration.
Colonel Guthrie, for the Parade Com
mittee, handed in plans for fifteen diff
ferent varieties of floats and the cost
of each 1t was decided that three
floats, allegorica1 in character, would
be amply sufficient for the parade, and
the first three on the list were accepted.
No. !, United States, or Goddess of
Liberty will be represented by fe-
made figue costumed after the statue
surrounding the dome of the Capitol
at Washington, D. c. The float will
be ornamented and painted in a scenic
manner and the companion figures to
the Goddess of Liberty will be in Con-

with emblems of the Revolutionary pc
Rod, and the names of the principal
battles of the Revolution will be post

be built extra large, in order that a
great many school children may be
seated upon it.
The Committee on Invitations report
ed that over seventy invitations had
been sent to different societies request
ing them to take part in the parade
Special invitations will be extended to
State, county and city officers, and it
was decided that the individual mer-
chants of the city be requested to fur
nish trade displays in the procession.
On motion of George c. McMullen,
Mayor Hubbard was chosen to act as
President of the Day.
J. 0. Coleman, from the Committee
on Evening Entertainment, reported
progress. He had, he said, been assur-
ed of the hearty cooperation of three,
and probably four local clubs, and felt
satisfied that such performances as
they would give would prove accepta-
bic. He, however, had not as yet been
able to make an accurate estimate of
the cost of the entertainment, but be-
lieved 1t would not exceed $500.

make estimates for the funds needed by
them and present the same to the Exc
