Spnin's Latest Promise.
The reply to our note was received on
| the 23d day of October. 1t is in the direc-
| ton of better understanding. 1t APP
| preciates the friendly purposes of this gov
| eminent. 1t admits that our country is
deeply affected by the war in Cuba and
that its desires for peace are just. 1t de-
clares that the present Spanish govern
ment Is bound by every consideration to a
change of policy that should satisfy the
United States and pacify Cuba within a
reasonable time. To this end Spain has
decided to put into effect the political re-
forms heretofore advocated by the present
premier, without hating for any consider
ation in the path which in its judgment
leads to peace. The military operations, it
Is said. will continue. but will be humane
and conducted with all regard for private
rights. being accompanied by political ac-
ton leading to the autonomy of Cuba,
while guarding Spanish sovereignty. This,
1t is claimed. will result in investing Cuba
with distinct personality; the Island to
be governed by an executive and by a
local council or chamber. reserving to
Spain the control of the foreign relations
the army and navy and the judicial ad-
ministration. To accomplish this the pres
emit government proposes TO modify existing
legislation by decree, leaving the Spanish
CCrtes. with the aid of Cuban senators
and deputies. to solve the economic prob
lem and properly distribute the existing
dept.
In the absence of a declaration of the
measures that this government proposes
to take In carrying out it's proffer of good
offices it suggests that Spain be left free
to conduct military operations and grant
political reforms. while the United States
for Its part shall enforce its neutral obi
cations ami cut of the assistance which
it is asserted the insurgents receive from
this country. The supposition of an in
definite prolongation Of the war is denied.
1t is asserted that the western provinces
arc already well-nigh reclaimed: that the
planting Of cane and tobacco therein ha s
been resumed. and that by force of arms
and new and ample reforms very early and
complete racihcation is hoped for.
The immediate amelioration Of existing
conditions under the new administration Of
Cuban affairs is predicted, and therewithal

plan to protect the Government against
bond issues for repeated redemptions. We
must either curtail the opportunity for
speculation. made easy by the multiplied
redeuptions of our demand obligations, or
increase the sold reserve for their redemp-
ton. We have s9O0,0o0,000 of currency
which the Government by solemn enact
ment has undertaken to keep at par with
gold Nobody is obliged to redeem in gold
hut the Government The banks are not
required to redeem in gold. The Govern
rent is obliged to keep equal with gold
all its outstanding currency and coin obi
cations, while its receipts are not "euuIred
to be paid in gold. They are paid in every
kind of money but gold, and the only means
by which the Government can with GER
tainty get geld is by borrowing. 1t can get
it in no other way when 1t most needs it.
the Government without any fixed gold
revenue is rledged to maintain gold re-
demption, which it has steadily and faith
fully done and which under the authority
now given it will continue to do.
The law which requires the Government
after having redeemed it's United States
notes to pay them out again current
funds demands a constant replenishment
of the gold reserve. This is especially

the revenues are insufficient to meet the
expenses of the Government. At such
times the Government has no other way
to supply its deficit and maintain redemp-
ton but through the increase of it's bonded
debt during the Administration of my
pre decessor when s2,1,, 80, 400 of four-and-a-
half per cent. bonds were issued and sold
and the proceeds used 10 pay the expenses
CT the Government in excess of the rev.
enues and sustain the gold reserve. While
it is true that the greater part of the pro-
cCeds of these bonds were used to supply
deficient revenues. considerable portion
was required to maintain the gold reserve.
With our revenues equal &c our expenses,
tbs re would be no deficit requiring the is
su:tnce of bonds. But il the gold reserve
falls below SlU1,4CO,OO0, how will it be
pienished except by selling more bonds?
Is there any other way practicable under
existing law? The serious question then
is, shall we continue the policy that has
been pursued in the past; that Is, when
the gold reserve reaches the point of
danger, issue more bonds and supply the
needed gold. shall we provide other
means TO prevent these recurring drains
upon the gold reserve? If no further leg
is.a ton is had and the policy of selling
bonds is to be continued, then Congress
should give the Secretary of the Treasury
authority to sell bonds at long or short
periods, bearing a less rate of interest than
is now authorized by law.

What is Due to Spain.
That the Government of Sagasta has
entered upon course from which recess
sion with honor is impossible can hardly
be questioned. that i'm the few weeks Ii
has existed 1t has made earnest of the
sincerity of Its professions is undeniabie.
l shall not impugn its sincerity, nor should
Impotence be suffered TO embarrass it in
the task it has undertaken. 1t is honestly
due to Spain and to our friendly rela-
tions with Spain that she should be given
reasonable chance TO realize her expecta-
lions and tc prove the asserted efficacy of
the new order of things to which she
stands irrevocably committed. She has re-
called the Commander whose brutal orders
infiamed the American mind and shocked
the civilized world. She has modified the
horrible order of concentration and has
undertaken to care for the helpless and
permit those who desire TO resume tie
cultivation of their fields TO do so and as
srres them of the protection of the Spanish
Government in their lawful occupations.
She has just released the Competitor
prisoners heretofore sentenced to death
and who have been the subject of repeated
diplomatic correspondence during both this
and the preceding Administration.
Not a single American citizen is now in
arrest or confinement in Cuba of whom
this Government has any knowledge The
near future will demonstrate whether the
Indispensable condition of a righteous
peace, just alike to the Cubans and to
Spain as well equitable to all our in
terests so Intimately involved in the well
fare of Cuba, is likely to be attained. If
not, the eXigency of further and other ac-
ton by the United States will remain to be
taken. When that times comes that ac-
ton Will be determined in the line of in
disputable right and duty. 1t will be faced
without msgiving or hesitancy in the light
of the obligation this Government owes to
itself, to the people who have coniided 10
it the protection of their interests and
honor, and to humanity.
Sure of the right keeping free from all
offense ourselves actuated only by upright
ami patriotic considerations. moved neither
by passion nor selfshness. the government
Will continue its watchful care over the
rights and property of American citizens
and will abate none OF its efforts to bring
about by peaceful agencies a peace which
shall be honorable and enduring II ii shall
hereafter appear to be a duty imposed by
our obligations to ourselves, to civilization
and humanity to intervene with force. 1t
shall be without fault on our part and only
because the necessity for such action Will be

drew Henriksen was unloading a
load of basS-wood in the alley near
the post-offire the horses started
down the incline which at that
place is very icy. Mr.. Henriksen
seized the horses by the bits, but
owing to the heft of the load, they
were not sble to hold it back and
were under pretty good Roadway
hen they reached the brink of
tie river. Mr.. Henriksen. fearing
that he might he pushed over the
bank, rel nquished his hold on the
horses and jumped to one side.
allowing the hon SEES to plunge over
the embankment into the river.
In doing this he saved himself
from cold bath and what might
have been serious injuries. The
horses dropped over the bank, a
distance Of fifteen feet, into the
swift current, the water at this
point being about four feet deep.
The load consisted of one and
three quarters cords of bass-w cod,
which, in the descent. was pre-
cipitated on he backs of the horses.
The horses were saved from
drowning by the timely assistance
of Mr.. Henrlksen, assisted by
Mess-s. Ed Johnson, Ed Ellertson
aud Louis Oakley. Tie most
difficult task was to keep the
horses heads above lie water, as
the poor animals had become be-
numbed by the cold and were
practically helpless. They were
at last extlicattd from tie tangle
OF wood, harness and sleds, and
after floating down tie stream
some distance, were finally gotten
on their feet and out OF the river.
