SPANISH METHODS IN CUBA.

Marshal BlancO's plans are beginning to be
developed. lie Is trying to end the Cuban war
without much more fighting. His chief lieu
tenant, General Pando. has taken the field TO
lead operations there, but instead OF fighting
he negOtiates, or tries to do so. That is well
Nothing could be more satisfactory TO all par
ties concerned than to have the war ended at
once on honorable and equitable terms. In
such fashion Marshal Camp0s ended the Ten
Years War, although the honor Of the settle
ment was afterward marred by failure TO fulfil
all the terms OF the treaty Of Zanjon II is to
be believed that any similar treaty made now
would be more faithfully observed.
If current reports be true however, this end
is being sought by the Spanish commander in
slngularly unfortunate way. II Is. indeed,
q way that precludes its own permanent Sue
cess General Pando Is said to have offered
some of the insurgent leaders large sums Of
money and one Of them at least fine commits
sion in the Spanish Army, inducements to
them to forsake the Cuban cause and renew
their allegiance to Spain. 1t would be pleasant
to disbelleye such stories, though they have
some appearance OF authenticity. IL they are
true, what is their significance? Evidently, that
the Spanish commander thinks Cuban patriot
ism n thing that can be bought and sold for cash.
and that he proposes 10 deal with 1t In that way.
There is little ground for believing that tudg-
ment TO be correct If II is not, the alleged Of
fers are the grossest insult that could be inhict
ed upon the Cubans. and one that must GER
| tainly embitter them against him and the Gov

TO BREAK THE "EyDLESS CHAM"


1t is known that the President is going TO
recommend TO Congress the breaking OF the
"endless chain" by the adoption OF snort anu
simple measure providing that when green
back has been redeemed II shall not be issued
again except in exchange for gold. II IS obvious
that If this modification Of the law were put
In force It would effectually remove the most
serious danger which confronts the Treasury
n danger which never disappears, but Is con-
stantly in sight. even when it Is not actually
operative A special merit OF the Presidents
plan is that ii is based upon reasonable nope
of It's adoption by Congress which would al
most certainly reject an elaborate scheme OF
monetary legislation. 1t is gratifying ana en-
couraCing TO observe the favor with when II
has been received in financial and business
quarters where the Presidents purpose Inns
recently come TO be understood: and TO sec in
dlcations. OF which n cordial commentator IN
.0The New York Evening Post Is an example
that II will have the strong support OF pohtlcal
opponents as well as political friends or the
Administration.
President Mckinley IS entitled 10 hearty con
ordinations upon his wisdom and tact IN DC
visIng for the rectifcaton OF n grave evil
measure witch Is certain 10 be powerfully ad
vocated and which Is unlikely to produce bit
ter controversy and arouse insuperable opposi
ton. He thus proposes one step toward an I'm
movement OF the currency and security FOR the
Treasury which this Congress may fairly be
exnacted 10 take and which would produce high
