MADRID TALKING
OF PROBABLE PEACE.
Spaniards Think the Mediation of the
Pope Will Result In an Arm
istice In Cuba.

MADRID, April 5.-The Liberal Mod
crate Republican referring to the pope's
intervention between Spain and Cuba,
says that it wants the assurance that
the pope's mediation is not pretext for
the United States to obtain a delay of
some months with the view of recon-
mencing later the struggle against Spain
within and without Cuba
The Liberal further remarks that it
does not lose sight of the fact that the
pope's mediation ''tacticly admits the
American right to interfere in Spanish
affairs in the interests Of peace" and
expresses the belief that the government
Twill be obliged to declare that medi-
alton does not mean conceding through
foreign hand what Spain declines to
concede to the United States direct, "
explaining that "Spain's effective SOW
ereignty must not depend upon the
pope's will"
The impartial independently halls
with satisfaction the pope's mediation
between the Spaniards and Cubans.
The Globo says
"a new political power has developed
in America, in Archbishop Ireland,
equal to that of President Cleveland and
President Mckinley, and asks, can it
overcome the jingoes?"
The revolutionary Pals welcomes
peace, from whatever quarter it comes,
''as enabling Spain to repair the mate
rial losses of two cruel wars
"But," The Pals adds, ssthe peace
must be honorable, otherwise it will be
greater evil than war"
The Pals then strikes warning note.
saying the pope is in favor of Cuban in
dependence, quoting an interview which
an Italian newspaperman had with the
pope in March last to confirm this state
ment, and also suggesting that the
Spanish pastors were part and parcel
of mature vatican scheme to secure on
the same basis the Silvellist policy and
sell the island"
A feeling of intense relief was expert
enced here which was strongly reflected
in financial circles. and was marked by
rise in prices on the stock exchange.
The papal nuncio had an audience with
the queen regent, and the best informed
people believe that an armistice be-
tween the Spaniards and Cubans will
be proclaimed within two days, one sin
gle condition remaining open to discus
sion.
The pope, it now appears sent an elo-
quent telegram to the queen regent urg-
ing Spain to grant an armistice in Cuba,
with the view of allowing negotiations
to be carried on between the insurgents
and the Cuban authorities for the early
conclusiun of permanent peace. The
pope dwelt on the suffering in Cuba and
urged that her majesty take action on
humane and not on political grounds.
Previous to taking this action, it is
added, TIL pope, through representa-
tive at W shington, asked President
McKinla, il it would be agreeable to
him should the pope advise the queen
regent to grant an armistice and it is
understood the president expressed
Willingness that the pope should do any
thing in his power.

THE DEBATE.
Cuba was Freed in the Same
Way the Administration
is Doing the Trick.

Every one was willing but they got to
Jawiug Over Technically and the
Audience Left them = Resolutions
We're Not Put but If they Had Would
Have Been Carried Unanimously.
The debate in Chapel Hall on che
recognition of Cuban independence
was interesting and the only thing
that marred an otherwise perfect
evening was parliamentary wran-
gle that was wholly unnecessary and
unealled for and in which the audi
ence was not at all interested. This
was proven By the withdrawal OF the
greater part Of the hearers while the
scrap was going on and the abrupt
termination of the debate.
There was quite large audience
present. and those who went heard
some fine speeches. Judge johnson
Mr.. J. C. Frazer, Stanley and Chas.
Goodwin are receiving the greater
part of the compliments on their ef-
forts. A number of others made
brief speeches and the audience was
frequently wrought up to high
pitch of excitement. Their cheering
was frequent and enthusiastic. Ev-
cry one took the same side of the
question and the addresses showed
plainly that the people of Morgan
town who are following the course
of events very closely are tired of
the butchery in Cuba and are de
termined that it shall cease as far
as their efforts will avail
A telegram from Congressman
Dayton was read and the cheering
showed that the audience will sup
port him If he bolts his party and
votes his convictions in case there
is any further delay asked by the
White House. The telegram SAID
Cuba must be free, peaceably IL
possible, with war If necessary"
Shortly after this was read a par
liamentary wrangle began which
was terminated by the audience get
ting tired of it and going away. The
resolutions were not put Had they
been voted on there would have been
no doubt how the vote would have
been. 1t would have been more
unanimous than chat on the street
paving proposition here on Satur-
day. Taking it all in all however
the debate was success and was
very we'll enjoyed by all who were in
attendance

EVERY THING READY.
West Virginia officials Are
Ready for the call to Arms.


Every possible Preparation has Been
| Made and they Await the Word 10
Begin the war. 1.-The state has been
Divided into six Districts and each
.one will be Expected TO furnish a
Regiment.
Ia reply to query sent TO the adj
jutant general relative to utilizing
West Virginia's military resources in
the event Of war, that officer sends
out the following:
Everything has been done that
can be done, as far as is warranted by
/ developments and conditions, said
General Appleton. "The state has
been divided into six districts. Each
district is formed upon basis of pop
ulation, the average being, Of course,
about six counties to the district.
Each OF those divisions is expected,
should the occasion arise, to furnish a
regiment.
''We propose to work inside of the
national guard. Our law provides
that West Virginia shall furnish six
| regiments for its brigade. These reg
| iments, if filed, would be l 200 men
each, making 7 200 men for the state,
not counting the battery of artillery.
do not think we are liable to be cal
led on for near that number, but If
we are, they will be readily furnished.
The first call would probably include
our regiments at present organized.
On the second call, We could send out
two more, and on possible third
call, the remaining two could be put
into the feld. Then, if more men
were wanted, we would begin to re-
cruit volunteers. Patriotic citizens
wishing to raise companies, could do
so in the several districts for the pro-
posed regiments referred to.
s'The present officers of the regi-
ments now organized would be retain
ed generally speaking. The officers
for the new regiments would be men,
who would be selected with view to
their peculiar fitness for The positions
to which they will be appointed.
81 have recommended that each
company commander get up war
service roll, to be signed by those Of
his friends and their friends, who are
willing to agree that in case of war
they would be willing to serve with
such and such company Of such and
such regiment. The signers of
these rolls would state the extent of
their previous, if any, and other facts
tending to show their qualifications
Then when the time came we would
know just where to lay our hands on
the proper men. These rolls have
been sent to brigade headquarters and
are being distributed to company COM
manders. We have a regular con-
tract with the railroads for trans
porting troops and supplies, aud this
contract is always in effect, and guar
antees us the BEST most complete and
quickest service the roads can fur
nsh.
~ think the next legislature should
amend the militia law so as to enable
us to enroll men without expense to
the state. This could be done by the
county assessors with little or no adj
ditional trouble, and with no extra
expense. A present it would cost
us about two cents per name"

CHAMP CLARK'S LETTER.
He will be glad to come here and talk
to the Editors at their approaching
Meeting Great treat to the people Of
this vicinity. He is one Of the most
Eloquent men in public life.

The coming session of the State
Editorial Association at Morgantown
| has treat in store in the address OF
Hon. Champ Clark, the eloquent Con-
gresham who represents the Ninth
Missouri District. He has national
| reputation as an orator and speaker
and has accepted an invitation to be
present and address the Association.
He used to be country editor and
knows how it is himself. His recent
speech in Congress in behalf of the
Country Editor and in opposition TO
the Loud Bill has been published far
and near and aided much towards de-
feating that unjust measure. AS he
used to be citizen of this State, we
thought is would be good point to
have him with us if possible and
wrote him an urgent invitation to
come, and received the following re-
ply:

Those who are charging that the
Democrats in Congress favor war be-
cause they think it would help them
in the Congressional elections, for
get that the war would be conduct
ed by a Republican administration.
The Democrats view the matter from
a patriotic point of view, and de
sire war with Spain because they
think it necessary for our National
welfare to teach the world an object
lesson by driving the Spanish flag
out of Cuba and incidentally aveng-
ing the men who were murdered on
on the Maine.
