1t seems apparent that the administra-
ton has been lenient in its dealings with
Spain. President Mckinley sought to
bring Spain and Cuba to some amicable
arrangement which would satisfy both,
and not be too humiliating to the Spanish
government, but Sagasta temporzed and
deceived until at last the President had
TO lay down the definite proposition that
the independence of Cuba was the only
satisfactory solution to the American pco-
pie and the United States Congress. Sa
gasta sought for further delay, but, when
he could not secure that, his ministry sent
reply which is an insult to the President
The reply of Sagasta, when stripped of
Its diplomatic verbiage, informs the Uni
ted States that it should attend to its
own business and not NEEDLE with the af-
fairs of Spain Spain will not submit
to dictation from this government in the
affairs of Cuba. She will leave Cuban af-
fairs TO the Cuban Parliament and she
will consider the question of amnesty
when the insurgents ask for it. The Span.
ISL note answering the demands was tel
egraphed from Madrid to the powers, to-
gether with copy of the American de-
mands.
In this note Sagasta sweeps away all
his diplomatic pretensions of desiring the
help OF the United States in settling the
Cuban question and insolently tells the
President to keep his nose out of other
peoples business. This reply from the
Sagasta ministry was rather stunning, but
1t was no surprise to the members of the
cabinet who have for some time urged
determined action aid expressed distrust
OF SPANS pretensions &C desire to end
the war and settle the Cuban question in
way to satisfy the American people.
Sagasta also added insult to presump-
ton and offered to arbitrate the question:
OF the Maine. This was more than the
President could endure with patience. He
had made no demand upon Spain, but had
sent to Sagasta the findings of our court
OF inquiry, and left to his own sense of
honor the offer of way for treatment of
this question without that of war. But
Sagasta's only reply is that he will submit
this question to arbitration. 1t seems APP

Overworking Young Horses,

While it is we'll to break the colt to
drive while 1t is yearling, it should
not be allowed to do any work until ii
is two years old, and then not be set to
any heavy pulling. Three years old, or,
better still, four years, is better time,
and the younger age only for Perche-
rons, or some of the breeds of heavy
draught horses. With the active, ner-
vous breeds there is sure to be injury
unless muscles and bones have been
fully developed and hardened before the
horse Is set at hard work. Most horses
are at their best for work at six or sew
en- years of age.

Superiority of Dehorned Cattle.

Hackers probably pay more for dis

while the scratching of horns on the

PIow Early.

Flowing the land in the spring should
be done early, so as to derive the effects
of the frost. If deferred, and the sea-
son is wet, the blowing will result in
clods ON the land. The frost breaks up
tt land If the soil is plowed while
wet, and also destroys all insects that
may be brought to the surface.

Gist of the Negotiations.
Some time ago a note was sent to the
Spanish Government, not suggesting in
rrention, but urging that Government
to think of some means by which the un-
fortunate condition of affairs in Cuba
should be brought to an end The reply
to this by the minister of foreign affairs
was that it was impossible. Senc Gull
lon is a somewhat naughty statesman,
who clipgs to the tradition that Spain is
perfectly able to manage her own affairs,
especially those which concern Cuba.
At the same time a request was made
that America should be allowed to give
and distribute 100000 worth of food
among the starving Cubans This latter
request was agreed to. This gave an open
ing to the United States Government, and
Minister Woodford pursued his course in
the cause of peace by suggesting that an
armstice be announced by the Spanish
Government, he undertaking that the
United States would obtain the acceptance
of the same by the insurgents. He beg

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Aug. 3.-There was no
great outburst of speculative enthusi-
asm in the stock market today as n
result of the peace news. The market
broadened out materially and was con-
ftdently strong all day, but inquiring
observers feel considerable doubt
whether the peace prospects had much
TO do with the rise. OF much more
effect is the generally growing convic-
ton that the dullness of the local
money market is not at all due to slug
eish trade conditions but rather to
abundant supplies of money at interior
points to meet the requirements of ex-
panding business and the movement
thus far of the crops. The general
view In the street is Enthusiastically
bullish. The general strength of the
market was taken advantage of to re-
alize profits in some of the recently
manipulated industrial specialties. but
there was broad, and comprehensive
demand for the standard stocks, the
Changers and the favorite dividend
payers leading. Total sales were 322,-
200 shares.
