MADRID PRESS OPINION.
Spain Evidently DoesnV Want TO Sell
Cuba Some Spanish Boosting.


MADRID, March 2S.-El Liberal, re-
ferring to dispatches from Washington
attributing to President Mckinley a
decision to propose that Spain should
free Cuba for an indemnity, says
"rhe government may answer what
II plelses, but the Spanish people as q
whole viii not deign 10 discuss this pro-
posal Spain will 80 TO war In fulfilling
her duty. but not for ephemeral glories
or the desire Of conquest. We may
emerge vanquished, which Is somewhat
doubtful, but we will never come out
dishonored."
El Epoca prints in Spanish and Eng
llsh the following fully authorized
statement" by United States Minister
Woodford:
MY official position forbids my say
ing anything about the diplomatic du-
ties intrusted TO my care. The presl-
dent desires peace between Spain and
the United States and peace in Cuba.
Ever since / was accredited 1 have
worked by his direction and under his
guidance for peace, and / shall so work
30 long as / am accredited.
Il have been a soldier and know the
horrors Of war, and today, as always.
pray peace may continue between the
land OF Columbus and the land OF
Washington"
El impartial says: 1T is Indispensable
to get ready all the elements we pos
sess for a naval fight. and It is Urgent
that the fleet should go 10 Cuba.
"The United States win maintain the
advantage if they can place seven iron
clads I'm front of the Vizcaya and the
Almirante Oquendo, but when our two
ships actually have to fight this advan-
tage will disappear before the skill and
courage of our sailors"
The semiofiolal lal Globo says: "At a
time when the duration of the war in
Cuba is being brought 10 a close by
force Of arms and when peace Is being
restored by means of autonomy the
United States throws down the mask
which hid their ambition. In whose
name are they going to establish in
tervention and in the cause Of what
save that OF revolutionary bandits? II
the United States Will put light to pow
der they have been heaping up so long
this is an inopportune time TO do So"
Ei Globo, referring TO the question of
the Intervention Of European powers,
says:
"They will be unable TO avert trial
Of strength, but they viii soon see
themselves forced to Impose reasonable
limits. 1t behooves us. then, always to
be in the right. not only as satisfac-
tion TO our consciences, but as the very
backbone OF our energy. The Spanish
government which In every case win
meet the demands imposed upon It by
the exigencies OF the situation, is to-
day absolutely In the right and will
make the right known at any cost"
El Tlempo says, 1T we must fight. our
means viii not be so scanty that we
cannot show the world how a nation
fights IN defense Of It's rights"

GubernatOriaI Timber.

With confidence that has no tremor
of doubt that whomsoever # NAV
name for governor will be elected, the
republican press of the state has been
engaged for months in discussing the
respective merits of sundry gentlemen
who have been cultivat ng an ambit on
TO SIT IN the gubernatorial chair and
dispense its benefactions and eniov its
perquisltes and powers. Gentlemen
have been mentioned" which is only
the modest way of stating their self
announcements, and, as the star Of
some other one rose, have retired their
own ambition to nurse it for some
other and more favorable opportunitv
We have read with some degree of in
terest, not unmixed with curiosity, the
newspaperial discussions, and reach
some rather surprising results. Rea
soning pricri, one would conclude ia
these intelligent molders of public
orinicn ard directors of political affairs
Jealous guardians of the general veal
would be engaged in deciding who
among those who had won promi-
nence in their party by virtue of public
service, of eminent ability, exalted
character and unblemished reputation
deserved the honor of being called to
the chief magistracy of the state and
the leadership Of their party.
And of this one finds absolutely moth
ter, the whole body of the nodded, seem
to accept it as one of the immutable
DEGREES of fate that selection of a can
didate for this high place must be. can
only be made from those who have been
hunting it. Jones or Smith know that
they would, for one or another reason
some honorable and others not. like
tC be governor. Forthwith they begin
to scheme. They are only mentioned"
at first; then, gathering head, thew
boldly announce themselves. No doubt
rises tc the surface of what thew regard
as their minds that they may not
possess the abilities needed for a com
petent performance of the duties of the
Office. In fact, usually, the crust of
egotism is SO thick that no such doubt
could pierce it. Immediately the pa
pers Of their party proceed to arrav
themselves for one or the other and
che or the other gets the nomination:
and, from beginning to end, there is
no consideration of character, reputa-
ton or ability. The selection is mar
rowed to those who have declared their
desire for the governorship.
As one Van SAINT appears to be in the
lead just now, with the formidable ma
chinery Of the reigning incumbent
aiding him, we have read with more
attention the arguments put forward
by the molders who support his
claims" Considering the important
