Gen. Weyler Said tu, -
Positive Orders to ST
cure Peace on Any
Terms.

Crittenden Marriott, the
Records correspondent in
Havana, declares that Gen.
Weyler has received posi-
tive orders from Madrid to
end the Cuban war at once,
even by going to the extent
of selling the island to the
insurgents, if need be, to
accomplish that object.
Gen, Weyler, therefore,
sent out for Villa Clara to
find Gen. Gomez and to
undertake negotiations.
Weyler himself has said the
war will end within three
weeks. Gen. Weyler's
orders are, it is claimed,
to secure peace at any terms,
and he is instructed to offer
Gomez brides of autonomy,
or the island itself, Fear as
to President McKinley's
position is given as the
leading cause for IT h e
Spanish change Of policy.

minds with the belief that
gold was to become the
universal standard.
All the progress and pros
perity of Chill were attained
in the years when silver had
the largest place in her
coinage, Her war of con.
quest with Peru, and the
immence fortunes realized
by some of her people in
consequence, led to a demand
for money of the highest
power in the payment of
debts. Besides this influence,
British interests IN Chill
are many and powerful, and
these contributed largely to
forcing the action which has
brought about the present
deplorable conditions.
Chill is not as we'll pre-
pared to withstand the
prostrating efforts of a gold

problem is contained in the
rene we'd rumors that King
Geo. of Greece may abdicate
in favor of his eldest son,
Crown Prince Constantine,
Duke of Sparta, whose
wife is the Princess Sophia
Of Prussia, sister of EN-;
piror William of Germany.
There are many people who
believe that the Kings
abdication would be the
best means of clearing up the
situation, While the stand
taken by King George in
the present crisis has I'M,
doubtely improved his posi-
ton among the Greeks, his
abdication would be a pop
ular step, as the populace
has never quiet forgiven the
King for being a foreigner,
while his sons, who were
born in Greece, are regarded
as being one with them
selves.
The Crown Princess is
known to be a triAe jealous
of Prince George, the sailor
Prince, the second son of
the King, whom Prince
Constantine always allows
to be bracketed as equal
with herself. The Princess,
it should .be' added, is said
to be furiuos at Emperor
William for having sided
with the Turks against her
adopted people. Her hus-
band is much admired and
respected, but he is a man Of
silent, retiring disposition,
and is disposed to ignore
the shouts of the populace.
Prince George, who is of a
different temperament, is
the popular idol and many
would perfer him to his
elder brother as King Of

The Crete n question is
passing through a period of
quiescence, a lull having
followed the reply of Greece
to the Powers, and every.
body seems to be wondering
where and when the storm
will break out afresh,
In spite of the repeated
assertions made in differ.
ent capitals of Europe that
the Powers are acting in
concert towards CIR 2ece, it
is remarked here that il
this was the case the threat.
ened coercion of Greece
would have been an &C
complished fact long be-
fore this.
There seems to be but
three ways out of the pre-
sent difficulty. The most
peculiar is that the Powers
must except the offers Of
Greece to withdraw hel
fleet from Cretan waters
and allow her army of oc
cupation to remain nomi-
nally under the control Of
a foreign officer outrankine
Col. Vassos, to be useG fol
the paciication of the is
land, and when that is &C
complished a plebiscite
shall decide whether the
Cretans prefer annexation
to autonomy,
The second suggested
solution is the coercion, rea
or seeming, of Greece by
the blockade of the Greel
coasts, as we'll as the IslanC
of Crete. This would BIZ
a dangerous and difficult
task. In the first place, i
would require an immense
feet of vessels, owing to the
almost innumerable islands
composing t h e Greciar
Archipelago, to make sucl
a blockade effective, Be
sides, Greece's reply tt
this proposition would pro
badly be the lighting of the
fires of war in Macedonia
the beginning of a conflagra
ton which might spread all
over Europe.
The most dangerous spot
on the map of Europe a
present is the frontier Of
Thessaly. If Greece is
coerced or if she does not
obtain the substance of hel
demands, she is liable tt
force the hands of the
Powers, and this might be
done in more ways than one,
as by crossing the border
and possibly bringing about
the long.contemplated dis
memberment of the Turke
ish Empire.

INnxcUsABLE INCONSISTENCY

When the exposition bill was up for
consideration before the house its legis-
lative opponents declared that Omaha
was to get TIE chief benefits and that
Omaha should, therefore. bear the whole
burden. When the bin authorizing
Douglas county TO raise 100000 for eN-
position purposes by the issue of bonds
came up. the same men opposed the bill
and declared that the people of Omaha
and Douglas county should not he
| allowed to tax themselves for the eX-
position.
The pretext for this inoxcusablc OBJ
struction of the bill is that the farmers
of Douglas county are to be saddled
with taxes without corresponding bcnc-
fits. In the first place omaha and South
Omaha pay ninc-tenths of all the taxes
i'm Douglas county. In the next place
nobody in Douglas county will derive
greater benefits from the exposition
than the farmers. for whose products a
spcciai demand will be created. besides
permanently enhancing the value of
their lands. Furthermore. there Is a
sufficient barrier in the bill to preclude
snap Judgment. inasmuch as the bond
proposition can be submitted only upon
a petition of 1000 citizens and no bonds
can be issued except by n two-thirds
vote.
1t Is q sad commentary upon the In
consistency of the opponents of the ex-
position that after insisting on Douglas
county paying all the expenses of this
great public enterprise, they are now
cxerting themselves to prevent Douglas
county from raising money to assure it's

Philadelphia Ledger: While the Trans
vaal government seems anxious to avoid any
trouble with Great Britain, the evidence
that Great Britain intends to force a war
which will afford an excuse for selling the
Boer Republic continues to accumulate. The
latest item is a dispatch from Cape Town,
reporting that the British troops there have
been ordered to hold themselves In readi-
ness for any emergency. But this is not SO
convincing as the boldness with which Cecil
Rhodes and his confederates testified on the
witness stand in London their deliberate
scheme to seize the Transvaal and the apathy
with which the English public received their
confession of bad faith and treachery. 1t
is clear that manifest destiny will presently
cause the British flag to wave over the
Transvaal-unless the German emperor ut
tors @ determined protest.
Philadelphia Record: 1t may well be
doubted whether Greece will assume the
awful responsibility of a declaration OF war
against Turkey, and thus light the flames
which might involve all Europe In a coniia-
grafton, until every effort shall have been
exhausted by her to obtain from the powers
the recognition of the just aspirations of Pan
Hellenism. The situation on the Thessalo-
Macedonian frontier, however, Is most dan
gerous, and a chance fracas between Turkish
bashi-bazouks and Thessalian gcatherds may
cause the Greeks and Turks, who are con-
fronting one another across the border, to
fly at each others threats. The storm center
in Europe has certainly shifted from Crete.
