to show that the United States would
be justified in assuming another atti-
tude in certain contingencies in the
future. Such declarations may be in
tended, as they probably are, to con-
sole the jingoes for the failure, but
there is not a Spaniard who will not
show his indignation at all such sug-
gestions.
Spain, in any event, will repel any
demonstration looking to the interven-
tion of a foreign State in affairs abso-
lutely her own; and the United States
shall never, under any consideration,
take even an indirect part in the set
tlement Of our own particular con-
Germs"
"El Pals" the organ Of the autono-
mists, thinks the message very favor
able to the interests of Cuba, and be-
Heves the attitude President Mckinley
has assumed will "calm the fury of the
partisans of independence"
1t adds: '"The radical change in
Spanish policy, the establishment of
autonomy and the release of political
prisoners, is working a rapid and most
surprising transformation. 1t demon
strates that Spain while resolved 10
maintain her sovereignty at any cost,
to put Gown the rebellion and to de-
stroy the forces that support it, will
use also the practical arguments that
must appeal to the sympathy of the
American people"

GREENBACKS AND BANK NOTES
Legislation to Come From Ways
and Means Committee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE Ways
and Means Committee held a meeting
this morning, at which a resolution
was agreed upon for the distribution of
the Presidents message to the various
committees having Jurisdiction.
In a large measure the reference of
the several questions dealt with in the
message is formal, and the jurisdiction
of the committee is beyond question,
but it was very significant that the
Presidents recommendations with re-
gard TO the currency and the retire
ment of the greenbacks were divided.
Only those matters strictly relating to
