1t is now very generally understood
at Washington and ait Madrid that
Spain has reached the conclusion that
peace cann0t be secured in Cuba ex-
cept through the good offices Of the
United States Government. 1t is there
fore believed that Spain is laboring 10
prepare a scheme of concessions by
which Cuba will remain Spanish terri
tory. but under which the Cubans Will
have home rule in an enlarged form
Such statements have frequently come
by dispatch during the last three
months. but just now they appear TO
have more credit than at any other
time. There was a day and not so far
distant in the past when the Cubans
Were ready to accept Spanish conces-
sions. but there is every reason to be-
Heve that with the Cubans now it is
independence or utter defeat. We are
quite of mind with the Review Of Re-
views" that a hOme-rule Cuba with any
sort Of amicable tie attaching the island
to Spain is now well nigh inconceiVable.

There is no longer any doubt about
the Russo Chinese treaty having been
ratified by which Russia gains the
maritime outlet she has so long sought
on the Mongolian coast. The two-thirds
completed Siberian railway will, under
this treaty, be pushed forward and
completed about 1893. This treaty gives
Russia a right of way to the coast
where her line may connect with pro-
posed Chinese railways direct to the
Yellow Sea via Mukden, with terminals
at Tien Tsin and Port Arthur. The eff
feet Of this right Of way treaty will be
very. great upon the commerce Of that
hemisphere as it will open up North
crn China and Southern Siberia TO a
civilization and business activity prac-
ticaIly unknown heretofore to either
section.

The street sprinkling and sweeping
business is again engaging official ana
public attention as the contracts for
sprinkling are to be let in the course
of a few weeks. 1t is conceded by the
officials themselves that the present
system is unsatisfactory, as the DIS
tricts are i'll bounded and the contracts
fall for execution into hands of men In
many instances who are incompetent
and unimtelligent There is an easy
way out. The city owns the water sup
piled: she owns the sprinklers; she
owns streets. Why not, since good work
is desired, hire her men to do the work.
and then be able to have it done as de
sired? 1t is the lowest bidder and the
contract system that results in such
undesirable and unsatisfactory results.
The suggested plan is a simple one ana
Will wholly do away with the complaint
that the officials are powerless to COM
they secure the contracts, do their own
sweet willis and let the officials whistle.
A committee of citizens appointed by
an organization of wheelmen, has had
long conference with the city officials
on the subject, and report that there is
hope for Improvement. But we appre-
hend that the hope is weak in the
knees, and always wiH be as long as
contracts are let at such low figures
that lit is simply impossible for the men
tC do good work. Here is an instance
where competition is anything but ben
eficial to the public. It would be far
better to have less sprinkling done the
coming season and have it done at
better price and by intelligent men,
since it is complained to the committee
lefelred to that the chief evil is in the
fact that there is lack Of brains behind
the employees of the contractors.

 A. II. Daniorth, who has been look ing after matters in xacosari Tor home time past, came back to Bisbes this evening for e short stay and to make some necessary arrangements. He expects to return in the course of a few dave.
 Uptle John Roberts, sole owner and proprietor of that much talked of No gales horse, came iu on the train this evening and unless some Of eur heavy horse men find some new theme to worry about there will be 6 horse race Sunday. The race will very likely be close one and very interesting for this country, as the horses are very we'll matched and the distance is far enough to give them . chance to run q little.
 Little by little the people Of Bi.bee are acquiring modern tastes and methods and are forging to the front. lt was only last evening that We be- held au up to Gate sn exhibition of rushing the growier" as we ever be- held either in town CT city. The par ty doing the rushing was evidently we'll up in the business, for he was not one to be content with any ordi- Eary pitcher CT can, and So had pressed his wash stand pitcher into service. When observed by you're truly he was engaged in . hearty dis cussion with the bar tender as ts whether or no the pitcher held more than q quarter of keg. The argu. ment was finally settled asainst him, and he very reluctantly laid down dollar and departed. He declares that he'll take tub next time, SO as 10 be cure and get his moneys worth.

should be placed In defensive order against
any possible assault. Tho public should
comprehend the necessity and be informed
of the best means and the probable cost
thereof. General Miles, communicating
chief OF the army. puts the probable cost
at about 00.00o0o0. or about two and u
half times as much as IL expended per
year ON the navy. Once done. according to
modern improved methods, the work
stands involving almost no further ex-
pense. ny contrast with tho cost Of build
