Never since the Sixties has such a state
of excitement reigned in this country from
the Cuffs to Lakes, and from the Atlantic to
the Pacific The Congress and Senate of the
United States have agreed upon measure
which declares that the Spanish-Cuban war
shall cease, and the President has signed the
same and fixed the Great Seal of the United
States thereon. Demands have been made
upon the Spaniards to leave Cuba by Satur-
day. and the Spaniards have sworn, by the
Virgin Mary that they will not do so alive

execution the mandates of the United States.

1t was reported here that actual fighting
had commenced on the ocean, but it lacks
confirmation. As before stated, the situation
is grave one and it is impossible, at this
time, for the most astute prophet to tell just
where and when the trouble will end.
To great many enthusiasts the United
States has been little slow to act in the
matter and has been long suffering, but the
American sentiment has been sullen and
steady and the fact that sh has moved slow
ly only the more fully establishes the fact
that she is a great body.

WAR with Spain cannot and will not
last long in the very nature of things.
The Spanish army is the poorest drilled
and least effective of any of the
European armies, and the worst drilled
militia or national guard of this country
Is far ahead of it in military efficiency
and drill. But the war with Spain can
not, for much the same reasons, be
much of q fight on land. 1t will consist
of a few naval conflicts, and there is no
doubt, in the minds of men we'll posted
as to the relative merits and strength
of the navies of the United States and
Spain, what the result will be. Within
six weeks after the declaration of war
and the commencement of active hos
tilities the Spanish fleets will be swept
from the ocean.

Uncle Sam Has Troubles Enough.

1t is reported that the United States
has been asked by Japan to take a hand
in the Chinese division scheme, just far
enough to prevent Russia's securing con-
troll of We'll ai-Wei. Japan has held
that port since the close of the Japan
China war, as security for the payment
of y war indemnity by the Chinese, n
now Russia threatens to seize the port.
As much as this country admires the
"Yankee land of the east" and desires
to see it become a great nation, yet
Uncle Sam will in all probability beg to
be excused from mixing up in the affair.
For this action there are many reasons
of the most substantial nature. Russia
has ever been a friend of America and
shown that friendship on different &C.
casions in a very appreciable manner;
Japan processes friendliness for the
United States, and to take any part in
the eastern question would, in the end,
result in making enemies out OF both
those nations. And then, just at this
time, your uncle has troubles Of his own.
Down in the vicinity Of the Tropic OF
Cancer, near the southeast coast of this
country, a little tragedy is being enacted
which seems likely to engage the serious
attention of this republic for some little
time. Out on the Pacific ocean lies q
group of islands which are clamoring
for the privilege of flying the stars and
stripes over their coral reefs, and, while
for the present that matter is eclipsed
by the more stirring events already hint
ed at, the question of annexation, or
protection, will have to be settled in the
near future.
The distance intervening between
those two points Of public interest Is
considerable, and should the questions
involved come to a point whore some
thing must be done, there will be bust
ness enough on hand to keep this coun-
try busy without crossing seas and con-
tinents to find something to keep the
people out of mischief.
Under the circumstances, it looks very
much as if Japan will have to depend
upon the fighting qualities of her own
people to retain possession of a sea port
with a name sufficient to prevent any
great amount of fighting.

LOTS OF ROOM FOR MORE FACTORIES
Consumption Of Sugar Constantly on the
Increase-Five Hundred More Factories
Would Be None Too Many.

According to the Statistical Trade
journal. the increase in consumption Of
2 in the United States for the year
past was SOL per cent, requiring to sup
ply it 1876, TIT long tons of sugar or over
3O5, 900, 900 pounds. Below are the hg-
ures:
Tons of 224O lbs
Total consumption In 1897 ...... $50. 2,0s6, 26S
Increase during the year 1897 .......... 36,177
This is not unusual. for the average
increase of consumption in the United
States for the past IS years has been
6.97 per cent per annum. According to
the same authority, the worlds esti-
mated increase in manufacture of sugar
in 1897 was only 64,727 tons.
There were in operation the past year
nine beet sugar factories in this coun-
try. 1t would require three and three
fifths times the capacity OF these nine
factories to supply sufficient sugar for
the increase alone, or 32 factories of the
same average capacity. If we wish at
the same time to provide for present
consumption it would be necessary to
build IS times as many factories as are
now in operation, or 495 factories of the
average capacity of the nine we now
have.
Now, then, II we were to build new
factories at the rate Of so year it would
take about ten years to catch up on
present consumption OF sugar, so that
to supply this country with sugar the
total number of factories required to be
built each year would be fifty, plus 81
As meantime increase of consumption
would likely continue in about the same
ratio, the number of 80 should be In
creased S per cent to provide for that
so that we have a grand total of &c fac
tories to be built annually, for ten years
before this nation can grasp the otter
quoted 500, 0OO, 900 we are spending
every IL months for sugar.

The People Believe in Mckinley.

At the present moment 1T is easily to
be seen that the administration is sub
ject to a great strain, and Is passing
through perilous times. In congress
there is almost a revolt against the con-
sentative measures of Mckinley;
throughout the country there is an un-
deniable demand for wal with Spain.
Despite this uneasiness and the mutter-
lngs heard on every hand the people be.
lieve in the president, and place Inn
plicit trust in his integrity and desire
to do that which Is right at the right
time.

sible advisers at the heads Of the vari-
Gus branches Of the public service. He has
