Cuban Intervention.

Cuban Intervention.
From present indications the day
is not far off when President McKin-
ley, on behalf of humanity, will inter
fere in Cuban affairs and put a stop
to the fighting and to the starvation
which now exists. Some weeks ago
it appeared that the resolution
recognizing the belligerency of the
Cubans would be forced to u vote in
the house and passed, but when the
hour came, the president received a
unanimous vote of confidence from
his party in that body. Immediate
ly prior to the vote, Chairman Hit
of the foreign affairs committee,
spoke at length on the subject, clos
ing with these prophetic words:
"We should all of us be ready to
do our duty like patriotic Americans,
standing firmly behind the president
when he takes "A step necessary for
the vindication of the honor and the
protection of the interests of our
country, a step made necessary by
duty in view of the troubles, the con-
fusiOns, the distinctions, and the
hopeless condition of things in the
island so adjacent to our shores.
General Lee, an officer of ex-
perience and ability, is at Havana
in constant communication with the
President. Our great ships are not
far away. They ought not to be far
off at such a time
That he spoke for the administra-
ton there was no doubt, and the re-
suit was that every Republican
voted To sustain the president. His
remarks could not have been other
wise construed but that President
Mckinley felt that the time was not
very far off when he would interfere.
Last week the battle ship Main
was sent to Havana and the state
department gave out that it was
merely in continution of the policy of
port of a friendly country from time
to time. This reason, however, was
not generally credited, but thought
to have been given i'm order not to
raise too suddenly the spirits OF the
.'jingoes" or cause rioting against
Americans in Cuba or Spain. The
most powerful fleet ever gotten to-
gether by the United States is now
rendezvoused off the coast of Cuba,
within six hours steaming of
s.I.
have been visiting South American
points have been ordered to more
northerly ports. These circumstances
point to the conclusion that trouble
in Cuban waters is shortly expected
by the administration.
Autonomy is a dire failure; the
ultra-Spanish in Cuba are not in
sympathey with Blanco or his
policies; the insurrection is stronger
today than it ever was; Spain Is
prostrated and unable to raise
another dollar or send another man
to fight it's battles in Cuba. Starva-
tion prevails on every hand and the
efforts of the citizens of this country,
tuiouSh luS oSotS dSPoi W
offer succor to the needy, are embar-
rassed by Spanish officers in Havana.
Intervention cannot be much longer
delayed and it may come as suddenly
and as as great a surprise to the
American public as was the ordering
of the Maine to the island. French,
German and English war ships are
also moving in the direction of Cuba,
several now being there, and it is
quietly being said that Intervention
will be undertaken by not only the
United States, but by the other great
powers.
May the day come quickly.

A dispatch from Columbus. Ohio,
concerning the investigation by the
senate committee into the charges OF
bribery preferred against Hanna by
Representative Otis, says: "There
was nothing in the testimony OF
either witness (Otis or Campbell) to
even indicate that Senator Hanna,
Major Dick or Major Rathbone had
any connection with General Boyce,
through whom it is claimed the al
legged negotiations were conducted.

President Mckinley has announced

President Mckinley has announced
his intention of visiting the west next
year, especially the Yellowstone
park. 1t is understood that after his
trip through Wonderland he will
visit Butte, Spokane, Seattle, Taco
ma, and then travelling south by way
of the Mt. Shasta route, traverse
California. He will probably be ac-
companied by his wife, private secre-
tary and several members of the cab
met and their ladies. However the
people of the west may feel about the
presidents financial policy, no mat
ter how bitter partisans they may
be, he, as president OF these United
States, will receive a welcome In every
city and hamlet appropriate to the
man that he is and the office that he
holds.

Lester Huges with that of the girl who
had afterwards become his wife. He had
long ago forgotten those rumors, but they
now came back to him, and his naturally
jealous disposition was aroused by his
witc's failure to explain the contents OF
the letter. Being too proud, however, to
ask any further questions, he retired in
moody slence, y Aiie his wife attributed
his silence and depressed manner to anx-
iety about his business affairs.
Two days afterwards when Ralph came
home from the post u.iice he handed
Marion letter from Brownville, which
she slipped into her pocket without open
ing, and Ralph noticing that her face
flushed as he did so, left the house with
out speaking, his mind filled with jealous
suspicious, which magnifed themselves
until lie was almost ready to doubt his
wife's loyalty to him.
Marion, after her hus band had left her
presence, opened the letter and found a
polite note from the editor expressing his
pleasure at her determination to compete
for the prize, and saying he predicted hat
proficiency in that direct ion during their
oi-days.
Day after day passed, and Marion, en-
crossed with her essay, writing and re-
writing, that it might be perfect in every
detail, hardly noticed the growing cold
ness of her husband, and he, becoming
convinced as the days went by that he
Id T. ;nk,,
coming upon them, wondered that his
wife could be SO ligh hearted, and SO en-
tertained suspicious of her which would
have made him despise himself could he
have known how she was toiling to win
the money they needed. And SO from
lack of confidence in each other they
grew farther apart, until at breakfast on
the morning after the 25th Of May, Mar
ion announced her desire to drive into
Brownville that morning.
why do you want to go to Brown
ville?" inquired her husband.
"Oh would rather not tell" laughed
Marion, 81 have a little business there
you cannot spare the horse this morning,

81 can spare the team we'll enough to-
day, suppose, but don't see what bust
ness you can have there SO private that
you cannot tell me what it is" an
swered Ralph, GROSSLY. Whom is your
business with? Your old lover, Lester
Huges, who has been carrying on pri-
vate correspondence with you lately, l
suppose"
Lester Huges was never a lover of
mine," answered Marion proudly, as she
left the room, feeling hurt at the unjust
suspicious of her husband.
A short time afterward she saw her hus-
band lead the horse around to the door
harnesssed to the light phaeton which had
been her husbands first present to her
after their marriage. "Dear Ralph" she
said to herself, as the horse trotted
briskly along in the pleasant morning
sunshine. ''He was always so kind to
me, and l will not think hardly Of him if
he did speak harshly to me this morn
ing"
On arriving at Brownyille she fastened
at once to the office Of the editor where
she was almost overjoyed at the intelli-
