Why Don't the Spaniards Take Cubi.
tasf

From the New York Tribune.
There Is no lack of news from and about
Cuba which may without rashness be reck-
oned credible. The patriots are busy. Cen
eral Gomez has left Cubitas and the eastern
two provinces behind him. and is making
his way, cautiously but steadily across
Santa Clara toward the Spanish capital
He Is still, 1t Is true, some $50 miles from
Havana. But he is also about 100 miles
from Cubitas, which fact provokes the In
quiry why the Spaniards make no attempt
TO seize the latter place. They are sup
posed to have garrison at Puerto Principe
the port of Nuevitas. Why do they not
send an army up to the hills, seize Cubitas,
and proclaim to the world that the rebel
capital Is In their hands? Seeing that they
have four or five times as many soldiers
as the Cubans, 1t seems not to their martial
credit that they should devote more Atten-
tion to defending their own capital than to
attacking that Of the enemy.

Colonies Behind It.
Chamberlain Explains England,s New
Tariff Policy.

LONDON, Aug 4.-The secretary of
state for the colonies, Mr.. Chamber
lain, answering a question in the house
Of commons today on the subject of
the denunciation by the government of
Great Britain Of the treaties of COM
merce with Germany and Belgium, said
the denunciation was the unanimous
wish of the self-governing colonies,
who desired to deal with the United
Kingdom on preferential terms. Mr..
Chamberlain added that, at the confer
ence between the colonial premiers and
himself, resolution was passed
unanimously, the substance being that
the premiers Of the elf-governing col
onies heartily recommended the earliest
denunciation Of the treaties, as ham
pering the trade of Great Britain and
her colonies and that 1t was accom-
panied by an important and significant
resolution, namely, that in the hope Of
improving the trade relations between
the mother country and the colonies,
the premiers present undertook to con-
fer with their colleagues as to what
result could be secured by a preference
given by the colonies to the products
of the United Kingdom.

Hawaiian STATUS.
No Talk of Protectorate in the
Last Official Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-The last
Hawaiian mail to reach the state de-
partment brings the record of events
on the islands up to the 21st of last
month, but, as the news of the fail
ure of the senate to act upon the an
nexation treaty had not then reached
Honolulu. there was no change in the
status of the annexation problem to
present. Minister Sewal told in detail
of the development of the diplomatic
correspondence between Japan and the
Hawaiian government growing out Of
the labor controversy, and reports that
in the opinion of the best informed pe0-
pie on the islands the Japanese govern
ment will be amply content with a rec
ognition by the Hawaiians of the prin-
ciple for which they contend, without
insisting upon substantial pecuniary
damages. 1t was also reported that the
future conduct of the negotiations had
been transferred entirely from Homo
lulu to Toxic. No reference whatever
was made in the dispatches to the re-
ported intention to establish protec-
torate.

McKinley's Record
On the Currency
A Serious Question,
Say the Senators.

On both sides Of the question. I was
on the same committee with Mckinley,
and became well acquainted with him.
He was always courteous gentleman.
I'll tell you how it happens that I am
able to promptly verify the charge
that Mckinley Is trimming I happen
to have found out that he has been a
presidential candidate all his life.
From the first day he entered con-
gress, until the last day of his service
there. he was seeking the presidency.
How do happen to know it? Well,
I'll tell you. When he was nominated,
l went to work. with some good as
sistants, to look up his public record
What do you think I found? 1t sur
prised me, and, when it was all over
l had laugh that lasted for an hour
or more. / found that on every sub
ject that came before the house Of rep
resentatiVeS while he was a member
of that body, Maj. Mckinley made two
or more speeches. He spoke with
earnestness on his party side. He also
spoke conservatively of the views of
the opposition, showing that there was
merit in both sides Of every question,
So that, when we came to Investigate
his record, If we were to print his par
tisan speeches on any subject, we saw
that his party could meet us with quo
tations from speeches delivered at ap-
proximately the same time, showing
that Mckinley had given the whole
subject a broad and comprehensive
study.
GAS soon as I saw this record. I told
my Democratic friends that Mckinley
had been anticiDating us for many
years. He evidently felt and believed
that some day he would be nominated
for the presidency, and he trimmed his
sails accordingly. Do I blame him?
No. On the contrary, I admire his

Congressman McMillin's story veri-
fies what Quay, Clarkson, Allison.
Platt and other experienced Repub-
lican politicians have discovered dur
ing the past two years. That is, that
the real politician who managed the
Mckinley boom was not Mark Hanna:
but Mckinley himself. Mark Hanna
was his alleged manager" and Mark
Hanna had millions. But the real
politician who manipulated the wires
was Mckinley himself; and he was
aStute enough to put Hanna forward.
and let him claim all the credit of be-
ing smooth politician. That was
satisfactory to Mckinley, as long as
the presidency was coming his way.
Hanna got glory as a politician: but
Mckinley got the presidency, which is
somewhat better. Whoever imagines
that Mark Hanna is running the Mo

They made no demonstration of their

They took especial pains to sell on

WHERE

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-Congress--
man Gaines, of Tennessee, before leav-
ing for his home in Nashville, uttered
the following caustic and cutting crit
icism of President McKinley's finan-
cial policy:
I'm my judgment Mckinley is try
ing to fool the entire Ameicran people.
He is backcapping the Wolcott COM
mission, and he is trying to throw dust
into the eyes of all the marts and
bourses of the old world.
THE congress was in session more
than four months, and Mckinley did
not utter a word on the currency qucs-
ton until congress was about to ad-
journ. and when he knew that nothing
could be done. Then he pretended to
have very earnest desire to carry out
the wishes Of the gold Democrats of
the Indianapolis convention.
Look at the double dealing which is
here apparent. President Mckinley
has already appointed foreign none
tary commission to discontinue the
gold standard by international agree
ment. Senator Wolcott says that the
commission is making satisfactory
progress.

gold standard, Presideit -.Hley
asks congress to authorize another

standard. Was there ever a president
who SO palpably tried to ride two
horses going in. the same direction at
the same timer. He is acting now as
he has acted all his life-he is strad-
ding. We know that at heart he is a
free n I1o,. hr,x
hard it was for him to get onto that
gold standard platform last year?
Now We have him on our hands, and
he is straddling; on this question just
as he has straddled upon everything
else during his entire life, except on
the tariff. Upon that subject he has
been consistent because it was impos-
sible for him to be on two sides of that
subject
II hated Grover Cleveland's policy,
and have always openly denounced
him for going into the gold camp
Nevertheless, l respect the man. You
could always tell where to find Cleve-
land He was never on two sides of
any question. He is a man of great
courage, and therefore, a man who
compels the respect Of his most bitter
and ardent opponents. ! But Mckinley
is trimmer. He INSULTS public intel
ligence by attempting to perpetrate
such brazen double-dealtng deceit. He
should be out and out for the gold
standard. or else he should be for in

reception at the Grand opera house.
under the presidency of Hon. w. A.
Kernaghan, to indorse his course in
congress. The principal feature of the
evening was lengthy speech by Sen
| ator McEnery explaining his tariff po-
sition. He gave the history of tariff
agitation, and argued that no support
of free trade had ever been given by
the Democratic party or Democratic
leaders, the tariff for revenue only"
in Democratic platforms meaning Incl
dent protection. ...
The Democrats who opposed the
Dingley tariff bill in congress, he said,
We're mostly in favor of protecting some
local interests, and there were other
interests besides local ones which hope
lessly divided the Democratic members.
The very interests they desired to pro-
tect would have been hopelessly in
jured by the defeat Of the BILL and he
did not intend to take any such
chances. Nor was he willing to ask
for Louisiana what he would not grant
to other states
THE South is UNDERGOING an indus
trial revolution he continued, land
manufacturing, agricultural and min
ing interests are sprnging up and need
protection. Opposition to former tariffs
came because the South was exclusive
ly agricultural and depended on slave
labor. 1t was sectional opposition.
Slavery has gone, the sections great
ness must spring from the addition Of
mining wealth." He willingly gave up
nope and expectation of future prefer
ment to follow a line of action which
he thought would bring prosperity to
Louisiana. Senator McEnery conclud-
ed as follows:
Nov a few words about the sugar
trust, a great and powerful corporation
whose power ought to be curtaiIed
and whose influence in the politics of
the country should be lessened. This
is an admitted fact with political par
ties. AT the same time these parties
agree that it is better for this country
to refine the sugar that it consumes
rather than to send money abroad and
pay the German refners and laborers.
The question is what percentage the
refiners should get. In attempting a
solution of the question there was
much political jugglery and a good deal
of demagoguism for home political use
