PARK COMMISSION COMPLICATION.
II Was Strengthened Out by the City Council Last
Night.

S The park commission question has
been settled.

council Alderman Williams, chairman
of the park committee, explained to the
council that there had been some misun-
Outstanding in regard to the removal of
Park Commissioner Bonnie from the
city, that Mr.. Bonnie denied having
done SO, and still claimed citizenship.
He recommended that the acton of the
board at the last meeting declaring a
vacancy in the park commission be re-
scinded, which was done.
The complication arose from the fact
that one of the park commissioners re-
ported to Chairman Williams, of the
park committee, that Commissioner Ben
ME had removed from the city, and
Chairman Williams reported the mat
ter to the board, and recommended that
the vacancy be declared and a new COM
missioner elected.
= Mr.. Bonnie denied having moved
from the city, and still claimed his men,

of principle.

THE HONOR OF SPAIN
Is Involved. Says La Lucha, and 1t Should Be
Upheld by War.

Havana, Oct. 20.-La Lucia in an en-
ergetic leading editorial entitled, "War
is Convenient for Spain," says: 1.-THE
sensational American press Is renewing
the campaign in favor of American inter-
vention which, it says, will meet the
approval of congress. Rather than that
we should continue enduring this sort
of thing it is preferable that our Amer
lean friends should decide to interfere
Spain has nothing to lose. Her case
is the same as that of poor man suing
a rich one. The rich man is always the
loser. Moreover If Spain wants to go
to war with the American union it would
be proof positive that in our national
character still exists the traditional
Spanish honor, which we would defend
even more carefully than our lives'
