THE LESSON WAS HARD
BUT SAGASTA SAYS THAT SPAIN

THE PEOPLE GROW IMPATIENT
Demand Made for Immediate Solution
Of the Ministerial Crisis-Don

NEW YORK, Dec 28.-A dispatch to the
World quotes the London Mails Madrid
correspondent as saying
Intimate friends of Senior Sagasta nave
supplied the following statements made by
him q few days before his illness became
serious.
The time when the peace negotiations
were in progress was time Of the greatest
bitterness to me.
MANY night could not sleep, and many
a day | could not eat, so great was my anA-
iety. so deep my fears that what mas nap
pened would happen.
know the Americans and l guessed what
thew were going to do Some OF the span
ish commissioners in Paris had, IN the be-
ginning. some expectations in which l never
participated, though | sometimes hoped
myself that our opponents would not be so
cruel to Spain as they have since proven to
be.
As q rule, victorious nations make gem
ero,,s concessions to the vanquished people
in order to make their victory more humane,
and to honor their foe. In this way they
avoid leaving sediment of hate, which is too
apt to remain through ages and to expose
the victorious to retaliation of the most cruel
kind.
From the United States we have met with
no generosity, but only with levity and de-
ceit, carried to the extreme oil interpreting
capriciously an important word in the text
of the protocol, in order to violate the prln-
ciple they had already agreed to.
We have had to suffer all this TO prevent
greater evils.
In Cuba our army, always brave, refused
to accept peace. They wanted to continue
fighting against the invaders as well as
against the rebels.
The General in command had hard work
to persuade soldiers and officers, who
thought themselves dishonored by accept
ing peace without having fought against
their foe.
Here in Spain the danger was that the
people, agitated by so many msfortunes,
might reject a peace which did not respond
10 their ambitions.
God only knows how earnestly and how
hard / labored to restore calm to the popu-
lar mind and to quell the movements which
would have disturbed the country still more
by endangering not only the Philippines but
also our possessions in the Atlantic and
Mediterranean, and perhaps portions Of our
own peninsula.
Nobody remembers this except those who
can measure the sacrifices / then made.
Now all this is ended and we must look
to the future.
Elements are not wanting for our regen-
GRAFTON and our work will be seen in time.
The lesson inflicted upon us has been hard
but it will be fruitful.

town of Zamboanga, which, as the reports
here indicate, is strongly fortified and pos

defensive point of view. 1t is not doubted
that they will be able to maintain them
selves for an indefinite period of time against

A Hospital scheme

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.r-The secretary
vf war has received a recommendation from
Surgeon General Sternberg for the establish.
ment of an army sanitarium at Nagasaki

not yet been approved, but it is looked upon
with much favor, owing 10 the desirability
Of having such sanitarium well away from
the Philippines and from any possible epi-
denies which may arise there. 1t would
require the consent of the japanese govern.

be given. The climate in this Japanese To-

MARTIAL LAW.
When II Was Ffrnt Declared in Our
Country and What Was Done
Military Arrests.

After its first defeat Spain, fearing
riots and disturbances, has promptly
declared martial law. The modicum OF
individual liberty possessed by the citi-
zens under the constitutional monarchy
is thus snatched away and as rigorous
a rule as that of Charles l. or Philip III.
again instituted. The martial law OF
the Spanisrd is rigorous, one-man, no.
trial rule. With the American 1t con-
stituted for the most part the deprivai

MYSTERIES OF CAKE-BAKING.
saIlie JOY White Explains the Why
and Wherefore of Every Step
tn the Process.

In making cake If you wish to insure
its being good you must use Only the
best ingredients, be accurate in your
measurements and follow the rule i'm
plicitly. Use wooden spoon for mix
ing. and always mix the batter in an
earthen dish. Metal, either in mixing
bowl or spoon, is apt to destroy the deli
cacv of the cake. Butter that
has the least unpleasant taste VIII de-
velop greater uupleasantness when
cooked, and spoil the article of food into
which 1t has been put. Baking powder,
cream OF tartar and soda should lie add
ed TO the sifted -four, and the whole
passed again through the sieve. Flour
should be sifted before IL is measured.
Unless contrary directions are given in
the rule which you are using, the
whites and yolks of the eggs should be
beaten separately. The best sugar to
use in cake-making is the fine granu-
lated. The coarser sugar makes the
cake coarser also, and with a tendency
to heaviness.
So much for the ingredients; now for
the way in which they are put together.
Cream the butter first of all, have the
mixing bowl warm. as that will help
soften the butter and get it in a condi-
ton 10 beat. When it Is light and
creamy add the sugar, beating X thor
oughly in. Then put in the flavoring g
or spices, then beat in the yolks of the
eggs, which you have whisked well, so
that they are light and smooth, next
add the milk, then the flour, and last of
all the well-beaten whites of the. eggs
Beat vigorously for half a minute.
When you start to make cake you
want to make sure that your oven is
right for the baking, and that there is
sufficient coal in the fire TO last through
Butter your cake pans, and line them
with thin paper. The heat should be
moderate, and care should be taken to
keep the cake from being Jared. else il
will be heavy. After the cake is baked

THEIR INTERESTS MUTUAL.

The disposition in some quar-
ters to array the non-citizen
against the Cherokee citizen in the
coming city election can result in
no good to either faction, but on
the contrary might result in harm
to the best interests of the town.
This city has about outgrown the
old Hooly Bell idea that the town
is large enough and thatits growth
and general prosperity should be
restricted and limited. Recently
our horizon has been greatly ex-
tended by the enfranchisement Of
all legal male residents of the
place. The voting population has
been more than doubled, which
ought to have the effect of giving
US a more efficient and a more
stable city government.
So far as the interests of Vinita
are concerned, there is no conflict
between the two classes. The one
has no special interests that are
necessarily antagonistic to the
other, but all are alike interested
in the advancement and the pros
perity of the place.
And again, it is wrong to assert,
as has been done by some indis-
Greet ones, that any one class of
our citizens will have to bear the
burdens OF taxation out of proper
tion to other classes. Under our
American system of government
such thing is practically impos.
sible. The man who owns vas.
amount of property only pays the
same per cent as the fellows who
own little, and therefore it bears
upon all alike.
| There is no real conflict between
labor and capital, and the man
who seeks to array the one against
the other is an enemy to both, and
disturbing factor in the commu
nifty.
The man who invests in the
brick blocks is the co-laborer with
the contractor who undertakes the
erection of them, and the con.
tractor is again the mutual part
ner of the man who lays the brick
and mortar, as is also he who
wheels the same up to the scaffold
from the ground, and so on
throughout all the industries Of
the world. The one could not ex.
ist without the other, hence their
mutual and common interest.
