So Doubtless many persons will have

Is important for the people OF Ne

ton. Although the production OF

creased since renewed attention has
been given to the industry. the Eas,
yet remains in a large degree iguor-
ant OF Nevada's wealth.-Nirgin!a
Enterprise.
While il Is true that the people OF
the East are comparatively ignorant
OF the mineral wealth Of Nevada. they
are denseiy ignorant Of its aSncul-
tural and stock raising resources.
They look upon the State as q mere
area OF mountains and deserts whose
only productions are saEebrush and
lizards. They have no liza OF the
vast area of tilable land within its
borders that produces all the grains
and fruits OF the temperate zones as
veil as a good many q those that
grow in the tropics.
Our fertile valleys aud hills are
covered with nutritious grasses upon
which feed thousands OF head OF cat.

sheep find no place on their maps Of
the State.
Rich as Nevada Is in mineral
wealth It IS vastly more so in its ag-
ricultural and stock-raising pnssibili-
ties. Its broad acres OF level plains
will some day feel the magic touch Of
the water nov gong to waste, and
instead o; vas, Of unsighily
saEebEush will be seen fields Of way-
ing grain. Residences. schoolhouSes
aud churches will dot the landscape
AID children's voices will make music

Is heard.
Rich in everything that goes to
maze a prosperous State, Nevada
offers more Inducements to idle cap
ital today than any other State in the
Union. Hidden wealth lies III her
barren mountain sides and IN the
soil OF her broad and fertile valleys.

DROWNING OF FILIBUSTERs

MADRID, January 1.-The Dia- referring
TO the attacks OF the Heraldo and impartial
on Capt. Gen. Weyler, says it is possible
that they may result in a cabinet crisis
and that many people believe there will be
change of policy.
A meeting of Spanish generals was held
last evening 10 consider these newspap er
articles. the full text Of which was not al
lowed 10 be telesraphed abroad for fear of
causing dismay among the troops In Cupa
and encouraging the friends of the insur-
gents in the United States.
1t is persistently asserted that decision
has been reached to relieve Capt. Gen.
WeyleE of his functions, hut that the pre-
mier, Senior Canoyas De Castillo, has sus-
pended the order.
All the ministers met at the premier's
residence last evening IN order to discuss
tie matter
A feeling OF general public Indignation
prevails. 1t Is asserted that the soldiers
are suffering from hunger, exposure and
lack of medical care. while nobody seems

from Spain.

NEW ENGLAND CANDIDATES
Senator Chandler Speaks of Possible Cabinet
Officers From That Section.
He Lays Stress Upon the Adaptnbility
and Availability of Gov. Busiel
of New Hampshire.

There is little doubt that New England
will have one place in the cabinet of Pres
ident Mckinley. The New England men
do not expect more than one place, and
" hat that place will be will depend upon
the man who is selected for the honor, and
his peculiar fitness to handle particular
portfolio. A Star reporter talked to Sem
ator Chandler last evening regarding the
candidates that New England will put for
ward for cabinet honors.
There Is Mr. Dingley" said Mr.. Chan
dler, who would make an admirable Sec
retary of the Treasury, but do not believe
he would care to leave his present place in
the House of Representatives for the treas
ury portfolio. Mr. Boutelle of Maine has
had prominent relations with the affairs of
the Navy Department, and with the build
ing up of the new navy. AS chairman of
the House committee on naval affairs he
was prominently identified with these in
terests.
Then we have another exceedingly avail
able man for cabinet honors in the per-
son of Gov Busiel of New Hampshire.
LAS a man Gov. Busiel has the great
physical vigor Of Senator Elkins of West
Virginia, for instance. and he has large
capacity for work. He has had wide ex-
perence as manufacturer and railroad
degree for the trying ordeal of running a
government department. / think it would
be well for the President to select men
for his cabinet who have the physical as
well as the mental vigor to stand the work
they will be called upon to do, as it is
always a disadvantage to the service to
have cabinet officer break down before
an administration is over and then to start
in with some one else who, naturally, is not
familiar with the work. Gov. Busiel was
democrat until 1884, when the free trade
policy of the democratic party caused him
to go into the republican ranks. His cleo
ton to be governor Of New Hampshire two
years ago was by a majority of 1O,6OO
whereas two years before that the repub-
licans carried the state by but 300 His
popularity is not only great in New Hamp-
shire, but he would be highly acceptable to
New England at large as its representa- tive
In the cabinet. His name has been placed
before Mr.. Mckinley and Senator Gallin-
ger, myself and many others of New
Hampshire have assured Mr. Mckinley
that no mistake would be made if he should
put Gov. Busiel in his cabinet. He would
make an excellent Secretary of the NAVY
ana still better Postmaster General The
latter place would give him an opportunity
10 exercise his splendid business capacity"

nication from General Weyler saws that in

the Insurgents had 81 killed, 10 prisoners
and 81 wounded, while the troops had 4

KENTUCkY sENATORsHIP.
What Senator Blackburn Thinks o
Gov. Bradley's Policy,

Senator Blackburn Is a COOL though by
no means disinterested, observer of the
course OF political events In his own state
of Kentucky. When asked what policy he
thought Governor Bradley would pursue in
the matter of calling an extra session of
the legislature, the senator replied that he
could not predict the result of the gov
ernor's deliberations.
Il know, however" he said, that the
governor is between two fires in the mat
ter. The republican politicians, large and
small, not only in Kentucky, but from all
over the country, are constantly besieging
him to summon the Kentucky lawmakers
together to name my successor. The gov
ernor sees the practical difficulties in the
way, however, and hesitates. He knows
that there is a strong probability that in
case a session should be called 1T would
result, as did the session of last winter in
a deadlock. at q cost of $50, 600 to the
state, without any return. Naturally Gov
error Bradley hesitateS to assume this risk
which would bring down upon his head
ard upon his party the harshest of criti-
cism. Furthermore. he knows that If there
should be an election of a senator the
choice is likely to fall upon Godfrey Hunt
er, and the governor is not for Mr. Hunter.
He knows. in other words, that In case of
an extra session he would be condemned
whatever the result. If there should be a
session without election the republican
party would be irreparably injured; If DR.
Hunter should be elected, it would be
killed"

TO BE FREE on DIE.
What a Young Cuban Says of Spain's
PfODOsftiOn.

Proposition.
Jose Angula, a bright young Cuban of this
city, whose father and brothers are fighting
for liberty in Cuba, talked to a Star re-
porter this morning about the latest propo
sitions Of the Spaniards to grant autonomy
to Cuba, or to make concessions Of some
kind.
NO colony" said young Angula, "has
ever made so many peaceful efforts to OBJ
tain home rule under the sovereignty of the
mother country as Cuba, and no country
has ever been SO obstinate in denying these
rights of self-government. All the revolu-
tions which have taken place on the island
during the present century have had their
origin in this arrogant and persistent re-
fuSal Of the mother country to recognize
the claims of her subjects. The rebellion
which is now in progress would never have
started il Spain had honestly granted the
reforms in social administration which she
promised In 1878 When the rebellion broke
out in the eastern part of the island In
February, 1884. the people at large were
disposed to hesitate as to active participa-
ton In the hostiirfes. Weil-informed peo-
pie have told me that the revolutionary
feeling at that time was by no means domi-
nant, and that II Gen Campos, on taking
command of the island, had given satisfac-
tion to public opinion by establishing the
principles Of home rule, there would never
have been any occasion for the use of even
one battalion against the men in arms. In
stead of doing this he announced that the
reforms which had been promised in the
last war would be initiated after the pres-
ent war was over. He confined himself TO
measures that would. as he thought, stop
the war, but the insurgents were tired Of
promises.
1T looks like the same promises are
about to be made, but do not believe they
will fool the Cubans. who are now deter
mined to be free or die in the attempt
The death Of MaeeO has not discouraged
the Cubans."
