1t seems TO be the opinion of the Phila-
delphia Press that it is Governor Mount s
duty to go down to Ripley county and see
that the lynchers are lynched if they can
be given their deserts in no other way. 1t
insists that he shall exterminate them
somehow or other. and if the county officers
win not take legal measures, why then, it
follows of course. that he must go cunning
in person. It is, perhaps. well to remind the
Press that the Constitution and the laws OF
Indiana are pretty much the same as those
OF Pennsylvania, and that the powers and
authority of the Governor do not include
those of sheriff. grand jury and county

MADRID. Nov marshal Blanco has
sent a cable message to the Spanish gov
eminent, saying he has formed favorable
opinion regarding the prospects for the pac-
ihoation of Cuba A semi-official note was
circulated to-day giving a more exact in
dication Of the contents of the Spanish note
in reply to the communication of the United
States on the subject of Cuba than has
hitherto been published. The first part Of
the reply is paraphrase of the latest note.
of the United States. 1t conclues with the
same friendly feeling as expressed in be-
half of the United States. The second part
of the reply goes into elaborate details con-
corning the various filibustering expedi-
lions. Spain, in concluding that portion of
her reply to the United States expresses
the hope that this phase Of the situation
will be changed and that the United States
will try to prevent further violations of
international law" Replying to the offer of
mediation made by the United States Spain
says she hopes the United States will act
loyalty and correctly in helping Spain to
pacify Cuba, especially in view of the fact
that such an extended form of autonomist
government is about to be sincerely
granted
The general feeling is more hopeful Of a
peaceful outcome Of the situation espe-
cially since Marshal Blancos arrival at
Havana, and it is believed his presence will
greatly further the solving of the Cuban
problem. At the same time ii is pointed out
that the subsection of the insurgents can
not be expected unless they are entirely
abandoned by the United States"
