JOHNS RETIREMENT
EXPECTED, POSSIBLY DESIRED
BY THE PRESIDENT
The Secretary Of State Discusses Army
and Navy Plans But Says
Nothing Of Resigning

WASHINGTON, April 24.-While there
is every reason to believe that Secretary
Sherman contemplates retirement from
the cabinet at no very distant day, the
indications now are that the change will
not take place Immediately. He declined
to discuss the question today, intimating
that there was more In the newspapers
concerning his intentions than was justi-
fed by the facts
There is no doubt, however, that the
president considers the secretary's retire.
ment among the probabilities. He dis
cussed the contingency with some of his
callers today, and 1t Is understood that
Senator Davis was asked whether, in case
there should be vacancy in the secretary
ship of state, he would favorably con-
slider an invitation to fill it, and the sem
ator replied in the negative. 1t Is also
understood that the Minnesota senator's s
reason for taking this position is the fact
that he prefers his position in the senate.
and, considering himself reasonably sure
of reelection, he decided to remain where
he Is.
Secretary Sherman said today that 1t was
his expectation that for the present, and
army would do the greater part of the
fighting in Cuba. He added the statement
that there was no intention of taking tho
militia and new recruits into Cuba until
thoroughly Injured to the hardships OF
actual military life, and that probably the
regulars would be held in this country until
later in the season. The secretary ex.
pressed the opinion that Admiral Samp-
sons fleet would take the first opportunity
to form junction with Gomez's army.
and that thenceforth there would be per-
feet cooperation between those two Or
ganizations in conducting the war against
the common enemy. The insurgents are
the best men for this service at present,
said the secretary. and they can be trusted
to do serious work when we'll armed and
we'll clothed. He said 1t was his under
standing that this government would fur
nish the arms and munitions of war to fit
out several regiments of the insurgents In
good shape, and to put the entire Cuban
army in good fighting trim.
He would not discuss the reports that he
would resign from the cabinet shortly.
Will Retire Today
WASHINGTON, April 2.-(Special TO
The Herald.) 1t is believed that Secretary
Sherman will quit the cabinet today. The
old mans mental condition is pitiable, and
to keep him longer in the harness would
be cruel. The president is anxious that
Judge Day shall succeed him. If the
Ohio statesman persists in his declination

the position. Many other names are

guards against those things which, dur
Ing and after the late war. gave oppor-
tunities for the holders Of gold to force
It to a premium. The trouble in this re-
spect was the agreement to take up the
notes at some time through gold redemp-
tion. If It is necessary to make paper
money good by stipulating that it shall
be exchangeable for metal money, let
the agreement be for coin at the option
of the government. The people will not
object to that, for the obligation to pay
is theirs.
Paper money is Intended for circulation
only in the country whose government
issues it, and it enters entirely into do
nestle transactions. 1t in no manner
relates to foreign trade. Such policy
of issue could not do harm to anyone, and
1t would be the means Of obliging domes-
tic commerce by affording it larger ex-
change facilities.
Paying the bonds in coin as the law
now prescribes and redeeming represent
ative money with the same medium
would disembarrass the government, but
1t doubtless would require larger coinage
of silver in addition to the coinage of all
available gold.
What the government must avoid is
such obligations as enable those so dis
posed to fleece it and the people at the
same time. If it does not take such pre-
caution it will blunder with its eyes wide
open-with a full knowledge of what it
suffered from the policies adopted third
of century ago.
Let trust be put in the people and not
in syndicates; respect the wishes of the
first as the highest consideration and not
the interests of the latter.
Secretary Gage in wrestling with mon
ey problems in war will be an interesting
spectacle. 1t is a new field of financier-
ing to which by nature and education he

LET IT BE VIGOROUS AND SHORT

The president and Gen. Miles seem to
disagree in regard to plans Of the cam
paign in Cuba. The issue with Spain has
passed beyond the field Of diplomacy. 1t
is to be settled by fighting and not by
dilatory nlea sures Hesitation and delay
are out Of place. The country has had
a surfeit Of them. The veterans and
the younger army are all ready to be
called into service and for the order to
march. A vigorous war will be short
war, and, so far as expense is con-
cerned, it is the cheapest war; More
over, such a war conserves human life
and reduces suffering to the minimum.
In the late civil war three men died of
disease for every one killed in battle.
Lying in camp produces more fatalities
than active service in the field. Delay
is wet blanket on the war spirit. The

Who are the men most earnest for the

the most opposition? Where is the most
lukewarmness to be found? In the Re-

PIRACY PROCLAIMED

! So far as declarations go, we have q
foeman worthy of our steel. Spain pro.
claims to the world her independence OF
the Paris agreement Of 1856, opposed then
as now on fundamental grounds. In the
royal decree, issued yesterday, it is bold
ly announced that she considers it most
indispensable to make absolute reserve on
this point, "in order to maintain our lib
erty of action and uncontested right to
have recourse to privateering when we
consider it expedient."
Spain's purpose to organize a force OF
cruisers auxiliary to the navy, and to
speedily send them to sea, is vigorously
proclaimed. The decree annuls all
treaties existing with the United States,
but graciously gives "to American ves-
sels anchored in the harbors Of SPAIN
thirty days in which to clear without
hindrance-an entirely gratuitous con-
cession, since no single American vessel
remains anchored in Spanish harbors.
While not recognizing as binding upon
Spain the agreement of Paris, certain
regula tions of maritime law are to be
observed.
First-Neutral flags cover the euemy's
merchandise except contraband of war.
Second-Neutral merchandise, except
contraband of war, will be seized under
the enemy's flag.
Third-A blockade to be obligatory
must be effective.
Fourth-Spansh privateers will be un-
der naval control.
Fifth-Spanish privateers will exercise
the right of search on the high seas.
Sixth-Deflnes all appliances used in
war as contraba
Seventh-Vessels not American pro-
vided with letters of marque by the
United States will be regarded as pi-
rates and treated as such.
The capture by the federal cruiser
Nashville of the Spanish merchantmen,
Buena Ventura, is by the Spanish coun-
Gil held to have been illegal, occurring be-
fore a declaration of war, and the powers
are to be appealed to to uphold the Span
ish contention.
Reading this decree between the lines
(and there is no safety in conceding
candor to the Spaniards) it Is not diff
cult to conjecture the course to be pur-
sued by our treacherous enemy. Tradi
tionally piratical We may with conf
dence expect guerrilla fighting on land to
be supplemented by piracy on the high
seas.

thing to do is to press the enemy from the
start and keep 1t up. To walt 10 worse
than folly.
After being forced to take decisive
measures by the people and congress. the
president ought not to hesitate now. The
country stands behind him with un-
fiinching determination. The Hannaites
alone are pulling at his coat tails. The
Spaniards can be forced out of Cuba be-
fore the wet and yellow fever seasons be-
come serious menaces, and when once
out the forces under Gomez will be able
to take care of affairs there.
Put the enemy on the run and then add
momentum to their flight.

KING GEORGES ESCAPE.

The attempt on the life Of King George OF
Greece may mark turning point IN the mis-
fortunes Of that unhappy country. The plot
tiers who sought to curse may have blessed
against their Will. mercurlal people, when
was downcast and distrustful, has been stirred
to enthusiasm and renewed loyalty by the
Kings escape and by his unselflsh bravery IN
facing the danger and shielding his daughter
The mere awakening Of personal sympathy and
admiration promises to change the popular at
titude which since the Turkish war has made
the position Of the regning family difficult and
insecure.
This even momentary restoration or conf
dence and goodwill can hardly fail to cause
few twinges OF popular conscience and prompt
certain measure and sobriety In criticism
when the royal policy is under review. If kar-
ditza and his accomplices are shown to be I'M
balanced persons, whose heads were turned by
the violent abuse heaped upon the King by
some Of tho sensational newspapers OF Athens,
the fact must make the populace realize some
what the evil tendency Of such subversive pub
licatons and the folly and wckedness Of being
led by them. The newspapers themselves may
feel compelled TO treat the King decenty for
while, at any rate, and meantime there Is
some prospect that the train Of diplomat diff
cultiee which have embarrassed the country
as a result Of the war may be brought TO an
end. Any foreign control Of the finances might
have been impossible with the Old strained feel
ings, but 1t may be accepted with resignation
by a people sobered 10 understanding that
their ruler is a courageous man. who. in spite
Of their chlld.shness. has been trying his best
to benefit them. The financial problem once
f1.o1,. h.
lieved as to max, Il easy for the King to get
the nation well In hand once more. Certainly
nothing could benefit the people more than to
forget their wayward and pettsh resentment
over the result Of war which was theirs and
not the Kings. to forsake their loud-volced
mischief-mak and go 10 work as the French
did after the Prussan defeat and the debauch
OF the Commune to build up new France I'M

passion, and may now he expected TO come TO
It's senses.
The world has long had respect for King

pected OF him. King Humbert. after the recent
attempt to assassinate him. calmly remarked
that such experiences were part OF the trade Of
a king. King George showed that he thorough
ly knew his trade, and his own people evidently
appreciate the fact and are proud Of It. Any
lack Of courage or sele-possession might have
alenated sympathy and made the attack-even
though 10 more successful than It actually
proved-the signal for the breakdown Of the
dynasty instead OF the palpab!e means Of It's
siren gthening. So far is Humberts saying
doubly true. Not only are dangers incident to
