LONDON EDITORIAL COMMENT.
On the Adoption Of the Cannon CSC, ,OOO.-
600 Resolution by the House.

600 Resolution by the House.
London, March 9-The Morning Post
editorially commends the adoption of
the Cannon resolution by the house of
representatives and says: 1T is an
emphatic way Of saying that American
statesmen intend to stand by their
declarations. People who talk about ma
tional honor and responsibility ought to
be prepared to put their money down. -
The Daily News says: Speaking
generally. the United States never are
prepared for war. Yet it cannot be
said that their diplomacy has suffered
from this palpable and notorious truth.
Therefore the assertions of American
statesmen that they are voting 10000
0Oo Cs5O, ,00o, ,000). as a peace measure are
hardly a convincing explanation of this
sudden change from tranquil inactivity
to acute vigilance,
Our Washington correspondent has
obtained from a member of the execu-
tive a positive assurance that the Maine
disaster had nothing to do with the
vote. This Is most important
declaration. Looking to the fact
that President Mckinley may not al
ways be able to control public opinion,
America and Spain would be wise to
find some honorable way out Of a hope
less and discreditable deadlock"

Tells his Advisers He Will Stay TIL the
Clouds Roll By-Other Havana News
Havana, March 9.-Some persons, in
order 20 increase the excitement. are
urging General Fitzhugh Lee to resign.
but the consul general OF the United
States said 20 a correspondent yester-
day. Il will stick by the ship Of state
until the clouds roll by"
The court of inquiry did little yes
terday. Consul General Lee was very
briefly examined and also one diver.
Considerable time was spent On the
wreck. Captain Sampson listened
patiently TO various theories propound-
ed by newspaper men and others as to
the causes Of the explosion. and also to
statements as TO hawsers found in the
harbor and boiler iron on the shore.
Evidently he attached little importance
TO any OF these stories. The Spanish
divers put in a good days work. ex-
amining chiefly the forward part of
the wreck. on the starboard side.
II will probably be wise, for some
time at least. to substitute something
for condensed milk in the relief sup
plies shlSped to Havana from the Unit
ed States. Since the distribution began
here the price per can has gone from
20 down TO S cents at the stores. The
reconcentrados sell the cans or ex-
change them for something wanted
more than the milk. This applies only
to Havana. The outside cities need
condensed milk for use in the hospi-
tails.

Mexicans. The hooks still remain.
From the prison let us climb the
hill to the "Panteon" or cemetery.
The cemetery is surrounded by what
appears to be thick wall, but upon
close inspection proves to be vaults.
Let US explain how Mexican ceme-
terry is conducted. Not only one
corpse is put into single grave but
sometimes three or four occupy the
same resting place, The graves are
dug and furnished with shelves and
collins are placed one above the other.
When a person dies the family may
either buy lot or rent the space for
as long a time as possible. Many
graves are marked from two to five
years. When the rent is stopped, the
remains are then dug up, If the
family does not want the bones, they
are thrown over in a corner. But
this cemetery is arranged a little
better.
About twenty feet below the sur
face is passage way abont eight feet
wide and two hundred feet long and
these human bones are stored in each
end of this passage.
The climate of Mexico is peculiarly
adapted to MINIMIZING corpse

mics standing along each side of this
passage with a placard above them

age. These mummies were not

the East, but the climate has been
permitted to do the work, and the
clothing on same is perfect. re-

in a pink dress with black figures
which had not decayed in the least.
Before closing let me tell you some
thing of the collins used by the poor
people: II family is too poor to
purchase a coffin one may be rented.
The remains are placed in the coffin
and carried to the cemetery, when
they are removed, rolled in blanket
and placed in the ground. The
collins used are not of the beautiful
brown or black and lined with silk
and satin, resembling ours only in
shape. In color they look something
like BARRIERS pole.

Wednesday by Miss Hardin, of Mer-
