Must Be Given Sagasta's
Cabinet
CUBA MAY BE RECOGNIZED
WHICH WOULD CAUSE RISK OF
RUPTURE
English Editors Warn Spain That
War Means the Certain Loss
of Cuba
associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-The Daily Mai
says editorially this morning: The
United States is morally bound to give
| the Sagasta cabinet fair trial. A good
intention with regard to Cuba is so genu-
inely sincere that it will be universally
laid at McKinley's door.
The Standard says: If, as we have
difficulty to believe, Spain has threat
ened to search suspected vessels in Gu
ban waters in case filibustering con-
tinues, it is quite certain that Senior De
LONE will be told that Spain would do
80 at her own peril.
1t is highly improbable that the United
States will declare war with Spain, but
it may recognize the Cubans as bellig-
erents 1t would then devolve upon
Spain to decide what report to make to
that damaging move. 1t appears, there
fore, that the grave risk of rupture be-
hooves Spain to ask itself what would
be the result of hostilities with America
We are thoroughly alive to the courage
and patriotism of Spain. But she
would be hopelessly overmatched in
such contest. Such a war would in
evitably mean the loss of Cuba after a
costly and disastrous struggle, which
Spanish craftsmanship ought to do
everything in its power to avoid. We
believe it is the idlest of dreams to hope
for assistance from any European
power.
The Daily Chronicle says: Neither
Spain nor the United States is likely to
yield and an accident may precipitate
events.
The Morning post says if Senior Sagasta
consistently maintains his present atti-
tude and adopts more practical con-
duct of Cuban affairs he will secure for
Spain the sympathy of all civilized ma
tions.
LONDON, Oct. 24-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says: The
Spanish press unanimously supports the
attitude Of the government. which it
calls eminently sober and dignified, but
the impression is that the controversy
with the United States has reached a
critical stage which may be the prelude
10 rupture
The Madrid correspondent of the
OldHudIu says. "A UlGIHDeT OF the cdDt-
net assures me that the government in
tends to give Cuba complete local gov
ernment with universal suffrage to elect
municipal and provincial councils and
insular parliament. The latter will be
composed Of upper and lower cham
bers, having entire control of taxation
and tariff. The responsible government
will be composed of five ministers,
whose councils will be presided over by
the governor general"
The instructions given to Marshal
Blanco, the new governor eral OF
Cuba, are conciliatory, and aim to Sc
cure the cooperation of all the parties,
1t is asserted that the Cuban press will
enjoy more liberty, subject to restric-
tions on criticisms calculated to affect
military discipline.
A REPORT DENIED
HAVANA, Oct PA special from
Madrid says that Senor Morel, minister
of the colonies, denies that there is any

that the auditor, treasurer, sheriff and

In accordance with petition for lie

Failures 81 1873.

The commercial agencies are figuring
up the total business failures for 1896 and
place those in which the liabilities sx-
coed the assets at l5,li2-which is ffty-
five per cent. more than last year and IS
per cent. more thsn 1894. These figures
do not include tho numerous failures of
the past few weeks which will bring the
list nearly II not quite up to that Of the
panic year, '93.
The total liabilities for the year are
placed at $247 100000. Bradstreets is
responsible for the statement that the
commercial death rate was, in 1896, lao
per cent. by which is meant that l.40
per cent. OF every 100 individuals, firms
and corporations In business last year
failed. This death rate was exceeded
only by that Of 1858. whom it was Isl
per cent. In 1895 the commercial death
rate Was i.23, and in 1894, l.2l per cent.
The prosperity" Of the past six weeks
would precipitate universal bankruptcy.
OF course such financial cyclone can
not be permanent. 1t is bound to ex-
haust itself by its own violence. But
every observer must realize that while
the panic is equal to anything prophesied
Ia the event Of q silver victory at the
polls the recuperative power Of the coun-
try has none Of the vigor which q policy
OF true bimetallism would have insured.
On the contrary, every producing indus
try is at low ebb, its credit strained,
the demand for its products low and the
market already 0vercrowded. While
"better times" are inevitable because
they could not be worse-resl prosperity
is far away and woefully uncertain. But
hope on, spread the light and the four
years more Of darkness must pass like
an unpleasant nightmare. When the
people have found out what four more
years OF gold really mean. there will be .
change in sentiment on the subject OF the
real ''sound money. Wtstern Rural.
