though it was stated yesterday that no
announcement of the position assumed
by the United States in this matter
would be forthcoming before it had
been formally discussed in the cabinet
tomorrow, there is the best reason to
believe that after the full conferences
the president has had Individually
with the members of his cabinet, he
has already made up his own mind,
and that Secretary Day has even now
practically reduced to form the reply
that the United States government
will make to the Spanish govern ment's
overture through Ambassador Cam

P.S.-If the late Frank A. Gilbert had
taken an ordinary life policy in an Old
System Company and paid the same
amount in premiums as he paid the Mu-
tual Reserve, his estate would only have
received $3.50 instead Of $1,000. Gain
by being insured in the Mutual Reserve,
$3.50. Mr.. Gilbert dropped 1000 pol
icy in one Of the largest Old Lines to take
the $1,000 insurance in the Mutual Re-
serve. The $1,000 policy cost him S2S a
year more than he paid for the $1,000
policy.

Havana, Nov. 20. -Captain- General
Blanco received from Paris today a
cable authorizing him to draw on Paris
for -, 600, 600 gold. to be applied in
the payment Of the Spanish troops in
Cuba. This amount is IN addition to
the proceeds Of the draft for e425, 900
by the Madrid government on London,
which was sold here last week.
The Spanish authorities are making
strenuous efforts to complete the evacu.

Martinique has been selected as the
place of rendezvous of the Spanish
navy for evacuation purposes. The
Spanish auxiliary cruisers Patricia and
Meteoro, purchased in Germany before
the outbreak OF hostilities, are expected
here on December / 3, and will CONVOY
the Spanish boats from Cuban ports to
Martinique, where the Rapido, Ponce
de Leon and Concha. from Porto Rico,
have already assembled, and from
which point all will sail for Spain.

Not since the return of our troops
from the civil war. thirty-three years
ago. has the halo Of militarism shone so
brightly in America The soldier Is
the hero of the day. His welcome
home has been so sincere, so spontane
Gus, that the fever-stricken camp, the
terrors of jungle warfare, the weary
days and nights Of exposure are forgot
ten. Brass buttons, chevrons and
epaulets command the respect and adj
miration Of the public. This is but a
taste of the state OF affairs which ex-
lists all over Europe. But abroad the
worship of the priest of Mars, the god
of war, IS not temporary, not the result
Of great achievements, of victories
won. 1t is the result of habit. Eng
land has had glorious exhibition of
what her trained soldiers can do when
pitted against dervishes, who know
no defeat, who disregard the honor of
warfare. who fear death in no shape
whatever, who wreak their vengeance
on the dead and the wounded Sir
Herbert Kitchener furnishes but an
other example of the superiority of
Anglo-Saxon grit and perseverance.
But Englands worship of her soldiers
expresses the feeling which every
European has when he sees the uni
form of his country's defenders. The
red jacket of the English soldier, the
cockade Of the French private. the
corded blouse of the German guard,
the high-top boot of the Russian Of
ficer-all arouse the patriotism of the
European to fever heat. But the peo-
pie pay dear for their bauble To sus-
tain the military department, to fur
nish glittering uniforms, to equip
armies and navies, to pay the naughty
officers. and their still more naughty
subordinates. the common people are
burdened with heavy weight of taxes,
their sons are drafted, their substance
confscated. But the great burden Of
taxes is not the only injustice. The
bandage Is torn from the eyes of JUS
tice herself and she Is compelled to
deal partially with the soldier. Two
years ago an officer in the German
army brutally murdered a common citi-
zen without cause. The officer received
the severe punishment Of thre.. years
mprisonment; but the Kaiser could
not calmly look on while a soldier Of
his was so degraded. so the officer has
just been released by Wilhelm, after
serving but two years. In Europe the
soldier is amenable to no law but the
military law. which law he must obey
implicitly. If 1t demand that he sink
honor. maniness, character, there IS no
alternative; If it require that he forge
letters he has no choice If II consiyn

common people respect him: he IS blest
of the gods. and woe TO the citizen who
does not fall down bindly before the
Moloch Of militarism. America Is
proud Of her defenders. Their slightest
wish IS law. be that wish reasonable
But the public will never tolerate in

golians.


Barstow, CAL, Nov. 22.-The first
section of west-bound Santa Fe train
No. 81 was stopped two miles west Of
Daggett early this morning by men Sc
GREETED in the tender OF the engine.
Engineer Bunnel was confronted by
two 45-Caliber revolvers and ordered
to stop. but this order was counter
manded and the train proceeded for
another mile and was then brought to
a standstill at the command OF the rob-
bes, who evidently expected to meet
pals at this point In tn is they were
not disappointed. and the robbers or
dered Engineer Bunnell to carry 90
pound bag of dynamite to the express
car. Messengers Hutchinson and Blake
ly appeared at the door of the express
car armed with guns. The robbers
fred at Blakeley. who locating them
by the fash of their guns, returned the
fire, killing one robber. The dead
mans left eye and all that side of his
head was torn away. The other rob-
bers stampeded and made their escape.
A posse is in pursuit and it is thought
that at least one Of them will be cap
tured shortly. The dead man has not
been identified. 1t is thought that the
men were novices at the train bling
game. They secured no booty.
