MUST BE A FOOL.
Don Carlos Says if Spain Had
BOmbarded New York Z. s.
Would Have Given
Wav

Venice, April 1S.-Don Carlos, in an
interview here which is mainly a rep
etition of his manifesto, declared that
Spain had mismanaged the Cuban diff
ficulty from the first.
tShe should have sought a casus belli a
year ago. he said, when the United
States were unprepared, and should
have had courage to lombard New
York and to disembark troops upon the
coast of Florida. The United States
would have then given away. If Spain
were now to be vanquished Cuba would
share the fate of California, Texas and
Louisiana and be absorbed by the An
glo-Saxon element"
In reply to a question as to what
would happen to Spain after disas-
trous war, Don Carlos said:
1.-The future is in the hands of God,
but Spaniards would not be likely to
rebel against the government which
had known how to vindicate the old
Castilian honor"

FREIGHT RATE'HEARING.
Attorney General Boyle Will Treat
the Matter Similar to the
Stockyards Case.

Attorney General Boyle is arranging
to determine what are reasonable
freight rates on Kansas railroads,
about which there has been SO much
took charge of the state affairs. The
coal rate hearing, in which five Kansas
towns are interested and which is set
for tomorrow, will be postponed until
the latter part of May, and during the
intervening time Mr.. Boyle will enter
way he entered into the stock yards
case. Examinations of records will
will be made and dispositions taken,
and Mr.. Boyle says he expects the de-
velopment to be equally as interesting
as those during the stock yards Htiga-
ton.
He has called a meeting of the city
attorneys and mayors of Wichita, En-
poria, Salina, Fredonia and Usage City,
the five cities that have complained to
the board of railroad commissioners of
unjust freight rates on coal shipments,
at his office on Thursday of this week,
and the grievances of the different pIa-
ces will be fully discussed. General
Attorney E. D. Kenna of the Santa Fe
has been asked to be present at the con-
ference, and arrangements will be made
to make examinations of the freight
records of the Santa Fe company and
take dispositions of officials of the
freight department. While several
other roads are interested in the coal
rate cases, the information will be gath
cred on the supposition that the same
rates are maintained by all roads and
the Santa Fe will be the only company
examined.
From the information secured Mr..
Boyle hopes to determine what are just
and reasonable rates, and what injus-
state by the Kansas railroads in the
past.

TALMAGE FOR WAR.
Pulpit Orator Announces That
He Will Serve as Chaplain.

Chicago, April 1S.-Rev. T. Dewitt
Talmage, the pulpit orator of Washing
ton, D. c., has caught the infection Of
the hour. In conversation with his
son in this city yesterday the noted
preacher announced his intention of
going to the front in the capacity of
chaplain. Mr.. Talmage has long been
fired with martial ardor. Ever since
the tragic blowing up of the Maine in
Havana harbor he has longed for the
opportunity of putting into play lit
tie of his muscular Christianity against
the Spaniards.
But the time was not ripe for action.
Now, however, DR.. Talmage feels that
war is unavoidable and looks upon it
as his urgent duty to go the front, if
not to shoulder muSket at least to in
spire those who do by his words and ex-
ample. His SON, Frank Dewitt Tai
mage of this city, is chaplain of the
Second regiment of the Illinois National
guard, and will without doubt be or
dered south some time this week
Therefore the American public will
soon see the inspiring spectacle of
father and son, both ministers of the
gospel, giving up important charges on
account of patriotism and love of coun-
try
