BETTER DINNER THAN USUAL
After Eating 1t Hon. John Shernian
Becomes Optimistic.

Hon. John Sherman, former Secretary OF
State, spent a quiet Thanksgiving Day
at his X Street residence, in this city
After eating a little better dinner than
usual" as he expressed it. lie dropped in
TO a doze. from which he had awoke in
the best OF humor. Mr.. Sherman was not
inclined to discuss the knottys problems
of the hour. o.,
You may say that I am not in favor Of
expansion, or the annexation of the Phil
ippines." he said, but l do not wish to
say anything that will in any. way en-
barrass the Administration or Congress
in dealing with this question, and for that
reason 1 am not inclined 10 discuss the
matter in any OF its phases.
An attempt was made-to draw the for
mer Secretary out as 20 his future polit-
ical aspirations, and he was asked If he
should enter the political race in 1890 as
4 candidate for governor Of Ohio. That
is a matter which l have given very little
consideration. and in which nothing will
he done at present replied Mr.. Sher-
man.
II was suggested that his name was be
ing talked of in this connection, but Mr
Sherman characterized such talk as mere
ly Individual surmises with no f6undd-
tion.
When asked in regard to the future
commercial and industrial outlook OF the
country, Mr. Sherman declared with en-
phasis that it was good I'VE are un-
dOubtedly entering on H renewed and eN-
tended era of prosperity. and the future
looks very bright. The expenses Of the
Government are enormously heavy on ac-
count Of the army being held in place,
but in this there is no cause for appre-
henSiOn."

Thanksgiving Day was not without us
special and unexpected great cause for
gratitude, particularly on the part of
President Mckinley, and the people
Spanish. native and American-who are
either permanently or temporarily IN
Cuba The cold. gray dawn of the day
appointed for thanks had hardly forced
its way through the darkness of the
Eastern sky before the White House
ianitor sent a subordinate into the bliz-
zard air to get the Presidents copy of
The Times In its exclusive Madrid
and Havana dispatches was the CRATE
ful information that General Blanco
had insisted ON his resignation, and that
ii lad been accepted by Premier Sagas-
Ia This means that long before the
first Of January-just as soon as he can
gather up the plunder of an enterprising
year and ship it to some distant port for
subsequent call-the voracious robber
will leave Havana.
He has been chestnut burr under the
saddle TO the President thorn in his
pillow, an Old Man of the Sea, a night
mare, an everything that is distressing
and his departure is gladder news at
the White House than the signing of a
Treaty of peace would be. From the
moment he refused to allow supplies for
the starving to be landed he has been
the torment of the Presidents life and
the black beast of the Evacuation Com
missioners. Having no right to exercise
sovereignty under the terms of the pro-
tocol. he began a more tyrannical and
independent rule. robbing the custom
house. looting the banks, selling public
property. excluding the natives from
their farms, suspending business in the
city, giving arms and ammunition TO
the Cubans with which to eXpel the
Americans, sending agents among them
To foment distrust and hatred of the
saviors Of Cuba, snubbing the Evacua-
tion Commissioners, ignoring their pro-
tests and brushing aside their appeals
and the President has not known what
To do about it all. General Butler, OF
the Commission. raging over the con-
tempt with which the Spanish officers
and representatives treated the body,
sent urgent requests to Washington for

kind He described the situation as in
tolerable and growing worse. There
was no response and he has had no
ether resource than to bite his nails.
1t was n riot, a mutiny of the unpaid
Spanish regulars, that brought relief at
last. Blanco robbed the Bank of Spain
and pacified one detachment of the mu-
tineers. Then others broke. out He
promised to pay Them and appealed TO
Ssgasta for funds, but in vain. Fearing
further rebellons, counting positively
ON a general outbreak following that at
Matanzas. he resigned. He is probably
concerned about his plunder and his
person. There is very grave danger that
when the regulars find they will get nc
more pay--the government owes mos
OF them for years services-they will
break over all bounds, loot the city and
rob everybody in reach. He has 9
natural fear that he will be personally
attacked and that all the treasures
which it has been customary for Span.

prove a fizzle, the others will be respon-
sible 1t will not be long before we shall
see them ali back in their own dear
land again; some in the Senate, one in
tall tower waiting for the lightning of
a first class foreign mission to strike
him and another laying low for
place on the supreme bench. There is a
suspicion that Senator Davis has hurt
himself by his absence, and that MS
fences up in Minnesota have not been
kept in as good repair by his friend Ire
land as they should have been. Let us
hope that the damage is not too great
to be mended-that is. supposing the
Senator to have recovered from his Pa
cific railway horror at the idea OF a
Nicaragua Canal. Otherwise, the cattle
and swine may wander through the
gaps and destroy his entire crop OF po-
litical prospects for all anybody ought
to care.
Observing. with proper commerciai
instinct, that this would be remark
ably fine day for the advertisement OF
remedies for Indigestion, we dismiss the
subject.
