Very Hot, But

Gen. Shafter does not approve of the
climate of Cuba. ''It's hot there, he
exclaimed, pathetically, ''it's damned
hot; it's hot every minute of every
year"
tits unnoub tedly hot in Cuba. The
Government should have thought of
that before sending a General there
who weighed $40 pounds, who was af-
ficted with gout and had to lie in q
hammock with an orderly rubbing head
with cracked ice while his men were
fighting several miles away.
Cuba was undoubtedly too hot for
Gen. Shafter. Itwas so hot it wilted his
resolution and made him anxious to
retreat from the positions won by the
blood of his troops while he was at
the rear. But it was not the heat that
sent sick and wounded soldiers from
Santiago to Montauk in uncleansed
cattle ships, without medicines, surgi-
cal instruments, ice, fresh water, good
or sufficient attendents and dumped
them down on the bare ground at Mon
tauk dozen miles from a can of milk.
1t was Gen. Shafter that did that. =

A movement has been begun by the
property owners on the north side of
Pine street, to secure some action by the
Farmers ditch company to protect the
owners from the seepage water from the
ditch. The seepage becomes very
troublesome at this time of the year,
rendering unfit for use, all the barns and
outhouses on the rear end OF the lots and
even innundating the lower ends Of the
yards. The alley way east of 10th street
has become stagnant pool, threatening
the health of the residents and incon.
veniencing all whose business takes them
through the passage way. 1t is not un.
likely that the ditch company will pave
or cement the bed of the ditch to remedy
the difficulty.

SITUATION GRAVE.
Senator Cu11om Does Not See How
War Can be Avoided.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
CullOm, a member of the Foreign Re
lations Committee, makes the follow
ing statement in regard to the Cuban
situation:
Il do not see how we can avoid wal
with Spain. The feeling on the floor OF
the Senate is intense. If the President
does not soon define some policy ac-
ceptable to Congress, it looks to me as
if it will proceed without him. This Is
deplorable condition, and no one Ia
ments it more than I.
There is almost a universal demand
for action on the part of the Foreign
Relations Committee It will not un-
duly delay doing its duty.
1T has been said that we are not yet
fully prepared for war My answer tc
this is that we are as well prepared as
we will be six months hence. 1 do rot
approach the question of war with
complacency. We are not yet through
mourning over our dead. War will cost
us thousands more lives and millions
of money. We Can replace the latter
but we cannot restore the dead. Never
theless, am impressed with a solemn
duty.
I'VE must do something to relieve
the suffering and the struggling Gu
bans. If we can not do our duty with
out bringing on war with Spain, then
war it must be. A few days. perhaps
a few hours, will determine whether
we shall have peace or war.
II do not think Spain will yield to our
demands without an armed contest,
even at the eleventh hour She will
seek delay with all the adroitness
and finesse known to her diplomacy.
When all the arts of the diplomatist
are exhausted I think she will fight ]
don't underestimate Spain, nor do I
overestimate the bravery of our people
or our resources. If our purpose were
a sordid one, we could not justify our
selves. To relieve suffering and make
a people free is a noble deed
Upon that plea shall we find justifi-
cation for our acts"
Senator George Gray of Delaware, q
member of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, made the following state
ment:
THE situation is exceedingly grave
If there is any change to be noted, it is
that we are no nearer war to-day than
we were forty-eight hours ago. I need
not dwell on the events which have led
up to this condition of things They are
known to all men. I have deprecated
war from the beginning, and have Ia
bored necessarily and assiduously for
peace ever since the first sign of con-
f1ict with Spain appeared on the hori-
ZOn.
"I have hoped that the President
would define policy which, when out
lined and fully understood, would rally
to his side the United States Congress
and a united people. 1t is natural that
Congress should look to the President
to lead in a crisis such as now con-
fronts us. It will be lamentable if,
when the final hour comes to act, it
shall not find itself in full accord with
the President"

following statement:

BRITISH POLITICS,
Dissatisfaction Over the Conduct
of Foreign Affairs.

LONDON, March 30.-Sir Charles
Dixie gave notice in the House of Com
mons to-day of a motion to the eff
feet that the conduct of foreign affairs
during the past welve months has
shown that it is not to the interest of
the country to have the Premiership
and the Foreign Secretaryship combined
in one person, and asks the Govern
ment to fix a date to debate the mo-
ton.
Mr. Balfour, the Government leader
in the House, First Lord of the Treas
ury, Secretary of all States for For
eign Affairs, replied that the Govern
ment could not do so, as the discus
sion would resolve itself into a direct
attack upon the conduct of foreign
affairs, and, he explained, if this was
desired it would be more convenient
in the form of vote of censure
However, continued Mr.. Balfour, there
would be a discussion of the foreign
vote, but only informal and inconclu-
sive, owing to the absence of papers
on the far eastern question When the
latter were submitted he expected a
fuller discussion.
Sir Charles Dixie retorted that he
desired a discussion of the whole for
eign policy, and not merely the ques-
ton of China.
To this Mr.. Balfour answered that
If the Government, received a repre-
sentative request for such a discus

tow of the German steamer Cactilla.
When La Bretagne left Havre on
Saturday last she had on board 100
carrier pigeons, shipped with the view
of testing the possibility of establish
ing communication with the shore in
case of accident 1t was added that if
the experiment proved successful, all
steamers Of the French Line would
hereafter carry pigeons.

HUNT FOR TRAIN ROBBERS.
Men Seen at Indian GuIch Not Be.
lieved to be the Bandits.

MERGED (Cal), March 30.-Reports
from the mountains where the officers
are supposed to believe the train rob
ters are surrounded are meager to-day,
and nothing of Importance has deVel-
oped Many of the officers stayed in
Hornitos last night, though several
were left to guard the retreat where
the outlaws are said to be in hiding.
! This morning all the pursuers moved
southwark a few miles toward Bear
Creek.
The railroad detectives who arrived
here last night and went on to Horni-
tos, however, are convinced that the
outlaws being pursued were not con-
nected with the Cross Creek train rob-
berry They say the coins paid by the
outlaw to the Indian Gulch storekeeper
were marked, but not in such manner
to- indicate that they had been in the
explosion.
SO far as the railroad detectives are
concerned, the chase has already been
given uD, but the other officers on
the trail will continue to hunt, in the
belief that one of the outlaws is the
notorious bandit, Cliff Regan, who is
wanted for crimes committed in Mer-
ced, MADEIRA. Fresno, Tulare, Placer,
Ell Dorado and other counties.
This morning Sheriff Merritt and
Deputy Harrelson of Visalia and Sher-
iff Cunningham of Stockton reached
here by rail and started in buggies for
the scene of the pursuit
Excitement is still high here, and
news from the mountains is eagerly
awaited
