wide spread interest in the appoint
ment Of a successor to DR.. Storrs who
has resigned the presidency and the
names mentioned for the place include
those Of distinguished college presi-
dents and clergymen of a national
reputation. Some may think the mis-
sionary effort has been somewhat dis
proportionately in favor Of the foreign
field and some may think more could
have been obtained in some instances
for the amount expended. but none will
deny the self evident fact that the ac-
complishment as a whole has been
both grand and beneficent: that there

Guessing on the Cuban situation.

That alleged dispatch from Wash
ington to Madrid conveying assurance
that President Mckinley would urge
the insurgents to accept autonomy and
if they refused would do his utmost to
prevent agitation and filibusterng is
more than likely the fiction of a cor
respondents imagination, at least if Il
dispatch Of the kind was sent it IS
more than probable the correspondent
guessed at the contents.
There are certain features about the
Cuban situation at present concerning
which guesses may be haZarded witt,
some feeling of assurance that they are
not far from correct. 1t is extremely
probable the administration will give
the new ministry an opportunity to
demonstrate it's ability to carry out it's
avowed purposes. AS Gen. Blanco will
probably not arrive in Cuba before
next month and will not be able to
accomplish much in another month the
prediction that the administration will
take no pronounced step before the
assembling of Congress may be ven
tured without much risk. We do not
believe, however, that President Nc
Kinley in any letter to the Spanish au-
thorities has intimated that he has not
all along been doing his utmost tc
prevent filibustering. OF course while
Spain was so contumacious it is pos
sible the desire, on the part of our au-
thorities, to suppress filibustering may
not have been SO keen but surely it is
not the part of diplomacy to admit it
even by inference, especially as even
the new ministry assumes the war
could have been ended ere this but for
| filibustering under the protection of
the American flag"
