ADMINISTRATION PLAN.

After Sufncient Time Has Been Allowed
to Test Autonomy.

VIII Intervene to Stop the War in Cabl,
After SurncIent Time Has Been Allowed
to Test Autonomy.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21--Gentlemen
in congress, who, by reason of their
informed on the policy of the admins
tration as to Cuba, say that this policy
is, in substance, as follows:
AT the present moment il Is felt that
the same material conditions prevail
that existed when the president sent
his last message to congress At that
time it was stated that the plan OF
autonomy having been inaugurated,
il was the purpose of the executive
branch to give proper time for the
plan 10 be tried.
The administration Is said to enter
tain the same sentiments to-day. The
autonomous plan was inauguratCsI
only three weeks ago, namely on jan
uay :, when the autonomous cabinet
took Office, SO that 1t Is felt that there
has not been adequate time, up to the
present moment, to form any fair
Judgment as to the merits OF tue plan
as means of ameliorating conditions
on the island.
The recent occurrences at Havanas
are looked upon as affording evidence
OF discomfort with this plan. bus
whether this viii be sufficient to over
come the plan itself is not looked upon
as established with any degree OF GER
tainty, or even approximateness-
In the meantime. while closely OBJ
serving the progress of the autonomous
plan, the administration has adopted
every precaution to guard against any
sudden emergency. such as an uprising
that will threaten American interests
This is not expected TO occur, but il it
should come it is said that the naval
vessels OF the United States are SO dis
posed as to be in the harbor of Havana
within six hours of any crisis which
would nnperil American interests.
In order that there may be 10 delay
should an emergency arise, IL is said
that COnsul-GeneraI Lee has been en-
powered to make direct request to the
commanders of the war ships so that
the vessels could start on receipt OF
word from him, without the delays in
cident to having his requests pass
through the Official routine at WASH
ingtOn. To a great extent the intelli-
I gent Judgment of Gen. Lee is relied
upon as TO determining if any emer-
gency requires the presence Of Amer
| lean vessels
This, however. applies solely to the
question of tuTAult of q critical nature
{ and hes no connection with the gen
| eraI question of interven ton for the
! purpose CT bringing the war to close.
/ Such step IS not under immediate
/ consideration for, as already stated, il
/ is predicated on the failure OF the plan
I of autonomy, which result il is said.
/ the administration does not regard as
/ established by the evidence at hand.

for Cuba via Tampico. Mr.. Aker has
just completed an extended tour OF
more than six months duration through
the republics of South America The
severest arraignment of Weyler's Cuban
policy was that o: Mr. Akers, which
appeared in New York paper, and
Akers called on the American people
to leave Armenia to be dealt with by
the Europeans and think OF the Ar

Mr.. Aker, before leaving, expressed
himself as profoundly skeptical as to
the success of autonomy in Cuba
such q system said he, might
have succeeded years ago, but now it
Will fail. Neither Spanish or Cuban
minds are in TT state for theintroduc-

the Spaniards is that they will be able

The LAUNCH OF THE KAsAeI.

True Oriental Spirit Prevailed the Details
of the CeremOuy-LOst the Ribbons
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 21.-The unrO-
mantle aspect of Cramps ship yard was
turned to favor and to prettiness yes
terday when the japanese cruiser Kas-
agi was launched.
The Kasagi is the most important
ship ever built in the United States for
q fcreign country.
True oriental spirit pervaded the
event When the breatkless moment
came and the huge ship began TO glide
down to her first bath, six doves Hut
tered from \ basket at the bow, and
circling about, scattered flowers on
the deck.
1t was very pretty piece of mechan-
ism, and it was not at all incongruous
that the chief actor of the allegory
should be a charming American girl
Miss Helen Long, daughter OF the sec
rotary of the navy. Miss Long was
merely to have drawn the cord VIII ich
released the doves and their floral
burden. but az the supreme moment,
the cord slipped from her hand and 8
workman instantly caught it and per
formed the office This was observed
only by those in the immediate prox-
unity 10 the vessel and the beauty of
this unique launch was in no way
married.
The japanese minister, Toru Hoshi
headed the delegation from the Elika-
dos court and. apart from those
attached to his staff in Washington
there were japanese from New York
and Chicago. The American party
from the capital was large and notable,
including many state officials and their
ladies.

4 bit CT sarcasm that was injected
into Senator Wolcott's recent address
before the New England society on the
occasion of its annual dinner in New
York in commemorative of the landing
of the pilgrim fathers at Plymouth Is
worth repeating.

Coming from Senator Wolcott, this
reference to the oyer-capitalization OF

and loading the reorganized companies
with watered securities upon which in

not be looked up 20 by the western
farmer who must pay these excessive

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2I.-When George

Total mines and forest products. 81, SIS, 363
The grand total OF these imports from
England being 80. 80 215, which is an in
significant sum when compared with what
England bought from us-that was five
times what we bought from England. In
der these conditions the dependence is
far from being mutual, but on the contrary
the dependence OF England on the United
States is most pronounced condition. The
venerable and learned Senator Morgan, Of
Alabama, il a late interview on the east
ern question, now attracting the attention
OF the civilized and half-ciyilized world,
stated that England acted as middle
man" for the United States, and as such
distributed our surplus products through
QUIT the world, and in SO doing laid on
the producers of the United States heavy
tribute il the way Of commissions and
interest in payment for services rendered
What the senator said is true, and glance
at the list of articles bought by US from
England last year will show that Great
BTiatin acts not only as middle man for
Us in distributing our surplus products, but
also in supplying US with many articles
We buy through her produced outside of
England. OF the Is products of agricult-
ure bought from England last year, only
three OF them are produced il Great Brit
ain. These articles are cheese. wool. hides
and skins-the first possibly in whole and

imported from England there are prob
ably only two which we could do with
out, or produce at home. OF the seven
articles the products of mines and for
ests only three are produced in Great
Britain. Yet in the face of these facts
and conditions we permit England not
only to act as our selling and purchas-
ing agent, and to charge US commission
and interest for her services, which
amount TO a burden on our producers.
but it is proposed and urged that we
submit to the dictat;on OF this AFRO
giant agent as TO what financial sys-
tenn we shall adopt which we think
best suited to our conditions and the de-
yelopment of our resources.
To rid our country Of this ''old man
of the sea" is a great economic prob
lem that must be solved sooner or later.
for though England's dependence on
the United States becomes year by year
more pronounced. her determination
aided by the American AnglomaEiac-
TO control the financial policy Of this
country in the interest of England,
increases as her dependence becomes
more and more pronounced.
