The city of Anderson, Ind, has held
for months that if it gained the owner
ship of the WaterwOrks, the electric
light plants and the street railways.
there would be no need to levy a cents
taxation. Working upon this plan. the
citizens have gained possession of the
waterWOrks and the street lighting
plant, and recently closed a deal where
by they gain possession of the CONNER
cial lighting plants. The income from
these plants will amount to $4,000 an
nually. Steps are being taken to gain
possession of the other public plants.
The city of Birmingham, England,
now builds and runs street railways,
gaswOrks electric lighting plant, water
supply and Turkish baths. 1t buys the
food that is sold in the markets of
Birmingham and owns the markets of
Birmingham, selling the food itself. 1t
builds houses for artisans and rents
them. It owns and operates a farm, a
printing establishment and a wooden
mill, and is in the egg business. In
1871 the city was one of the filthiest
spots on earth. In that year municipal
ownership began. Today it is one of
the cleanest and best governed cities in

Cuba Wants Nothing but Liberty oil
Death.

New York, March 17.-The following
proclamation to the people of the
United States was issued by Thomas
ESTRADA Palma at the office of the Gu
ban junta tonight:
ITO the American people;-The IRE
quency with which there has lately ap-
peared in the public press suggestions
made by malicious or misinformed indi-
viduals that Cuba would accept auto
nomy or anything short Of indepen-
dence, has impelled us to make final
and definite statement on this sub
ject.
From the first our motto has been
Independence or death We are now
more firmly determined than ever to
carry out our program. AS we VIII not
accept, we will not even discuss the
proposals of autonomy. After three
years OF the most sanguinary and
uncivilized warfare OF modern times.
carried on by Spain, we are stronger
than ever. It is for us to say what VIII
satisfy us, not for others. Our ideas
and our national honor we can confide
to the keeping of ourselves alone.
81 cannot think that the American
people have forgotten the principle laid
down in their own Declaration or In
dependence, nor can l believe that any
true American can be found who Will
advise us to forsake the idea of repub-
lican government for the monarchical,
even in It's most liberal form.
There Is no way to compel the Gu
bans to accept autonomy, except by
force of arms.
1--WE have fought three years. not
against Spain alone. but against the
whole world. Not a helping hand was
extended to us; no country gave us
equal rights with Spain. The right to
arm our people by purchasing weapons
in this country and transporting them
to Cuba is admitted. but, although en-
gagged in lawful traffic. we had to run
the blockade to get from these shores
and again the gauntlet in Cuba.
our ships and cargoes We're seized,
subjected to delay. but invariably re-
stored by the slow and costly process of
the law. Nevertheless, we never fall
tered. We always appreciated the fact
that the sympathy of the administra-
ton was with us. Spain has proven
impotent to compel us by force to ac-
cept autonomy. She now desires the
aid of the United States to compel US to
accept.
81 cannot believe that the American
| people would ever lend themselves TO
| the most treacherous and blood-stained
| monarchy of history for such purpose.
Should such prove to be the case, how
| ever, / declare in the name OF the Gu
ban people in arms that force alone
can compel our submission. We VINO
| have seen hundreds of thousands or our
race and families exterminated by slow
| starvation by q cowardly decree OF the
| most inhuman commander OF sanguin-
airy Spain, will fight against anything

A NEW soUApRoN.


Washington. March 1.-THE event of
the day In official circles was the is
suing of an order for the formation of
a new squadron of naval vessels to be
toned at Hampton Roads The
squadron, in the beginning, will con-
sist of five ships, all the best of their
types. Two of them. the battleships
Massachusetts and Texas. are with
drawn from the present North Atlantic
ieet at Key West and Tortugas.
In ordering this movement, the navy
department is not animated by any
purpose of yielding to Representations
or intimations that may have come
from the new Spanish minister. on
the contrary. the new squadron was
brought about by purely strategic
conditions, although II appears from
the nature of the force SO far under
orders to rendezvous at Hampton
Roads that this strategy is OF the de-
fensive nature.
The now squadron cannot he called
flying squadron" because the assoc
citation of heavy battleship with fleet
cruisers like the Brooklyn, Column
bia and Minneapolis reduce the avail
able speed of the whole to the speed of
the slowest vessels, and the squadron
could not do much flying" in the naval
sense. The Indications, rather. are
that when reinforced by some smaller
cruisers, the squadron will constitute
an Ideal naval defense.
For the past two months influences
have been at work In the navy de-
partment about this change, and as n
policy board, headed by Capt. Crown
inshield, has been in frequent session
of late at the department. 1t is be-
| lieved that 1t has Endorsed the plan at
last Although the other ships to be
added to the squadron. have not yet

THE INVESTIGATION.
Admiral Sicard Says the Report or the

"The courts report has not yet been

Crescent City, Cal. March 1.-Two
Indians bearing evidence of having
suffered extreme hardship. arrived al
port this evening In frail canoe. They
had been afloat for two days and nights
without food. and exposed to the buff
fetting of wind and wave In the coolest
storm OF the season. The Indians be-
long to n British Columbia tribe, and
the following account Of their misfor-
tunes was told through an Interpreter:
The schooner Teresa left Nootkn
sound. near Vancouver, b. c., about
six weeks ago on n sealing expedition
with n crew and sealing force of TWEEN
ty-hve men. Last Monday. when of
the Oregon coast a few miles north of
the mouth OF Rouge river, the vessel
cast anchor, and ten small boats, each
manned by two or three men. started
out in quest of seals. A sudden and
violent storm came up. the boat
manned by these two Indians was I'M
able to reach the schooner, and 1t was
only by superior skin that they were
able to keep their boat afloat.
They drlfted down the coast and ef-
fected landing at Crescent City. The
Indians believe that q number, II not
all. of those in the small boats have
either foundered or been dashed to
pieces on the rocky coast. They also
believe that the Teresa has been
wrecked, as the most Of the crew were

occasions since the blowing up of the

letters have been addressed to Mayor
Christen of this city, warning him OF n
plot outlined by Spanish residents here
and Nuevo Laredo. Mexico. to blow up
this city with dynamite should hostili-
ties arise between the United States

LOOKING FOR AN OPENING.
Intervention in Cuban Affairs Would Near
War.

Washington, March 1.-THE semi
official statement given out at Madrid
advising the government that de-
mand for indemnity based on Spanish
responsibility for the Maine explo-
sion would be Indignantly repealed by
Spain, attracted much interest in Off
cial circles. There has been little doubt
for some time that Spain was prepar-
ing for the contingency of an adverse
report by the American court OF in
quiry, and to that end was preparing to
anticipate and offset II by making clear
the governments policy by standing by
the report of the Spanish commission.
The report of the latter body was due
in Madrid yesterday, and while its con.
illusions are not officially known, IL is n
foregone conclusion that 1t will find
that the Maine disaster was due TO
accident. resulting in internal explo-
advance utterances of Capt. Peral,
head of the Spanish commission, who
stated publicly several days ago that
the theary of external explosion was
untenable.
Along with the semi-official statement
from Madrid that demand for indem-
nifty will be Indignantly repealed, Is the
further statement from reliable sources
that Spain has made it clear to the
authorities here that intervention may
lead to war. The prospects of such in
PREVENTION appear TO be seriously enter
tanned by Spain,nnd strong efforts have
been made to avert It by showing that
the condition OF the recorcentrados did
not warrant the step, and also that II
would threaten to end all prospects of
further pacific negotiations.
Both governments have been sound
ing each other on the activity of the
other In searching for ships, but there
has been little ground for objection
on either side,as both have been In the
same markets. The administration
explains its buying OF ships on the
ground that Spains attitude has been
SO menacing as naturally to call for an
augmented navy, while Spain takes the
same view that the activity in the
United States requires suitable prep
arations by the Spanish navy.
