The Somerset reporter., 1898-04-28

Freedom aud humanity is the Amer-
,, can war cry in this contest with Spain.
Not freedom for her own citizens, that,
they already enjoy, but freedom for the
Cuban people. Not to rescue our own
people from inhuman devices and brutal
treatment of Spanish rulers, but to res
cue inhabitants of fair Cuba from a sys-
tematic cruelty that has DO place on the
western continent or on any island of
the sea in the western hemisphere.
What more noble impulses could actuate
any nation or any people? And yet
Spain alleges the love of conquest and
acquisition of territory as the motive Of
our government moving for the pacif-
cation of Cuba. But Spain has no con-
ceptien of a motive other than sinister
and selfish. Cruelty, deception, treach-
cry and ignorance are the cardinal prin-
ciples of the Spanish people, in keeping
with the "Unspeakable Turk. While
we were in favor of giving President
Mckinley every opportunity to secure a
peaceful solution of the issue with Spain,
we believe the conditions were such that
it would have been impossible. In the
first place the Cuban insurgents would
listen to no compromise or armistice.
They had been deceived so frequently
and basely by alluring promises, that
they were absolutely without scintila
of confidence in the mother country.
Then again Spanish people would not
allow any concession by the government
looking to the evacuation of Cuba by
Spanish forces, and appearances strong
ly indicated that the Sagasta govern
ment was using protestations of desires
for peace to gain time. Spaniards are
adopts in the art of deception. They are
expert diplomats without the least frac-
ton of honesty to accompany their
diplomacy. With any other nation, the
Turks excepted, settlement might have
been arrived at without resortng to
grim war, but in this case there is hardly
a possibility that a peaceful solution
would have been arrived at with years
of diplomacy.

developed, however, when 1t became

ported from there Saturday. On this
information September, which opened

cred later On buying against puts and
the expected heavy decrease in the Wis

The fact that the government crop

kept the trade in a waiting mood as few
cared to enter into new obligations

tion

Sympathy with wheat and corn was
responsible for decline in oats. July

Suggestions Of an improved demand
for provisions offset the effect of an

There was sharp rally early Oh mod

Stocks-To-day's stock market was
not remarkable for breadth. In fact
the list as whole showed little ac-
tivity and very little movement. There
was a distinct tendency to heaviness
in parts of the list, which might east
ly have been more pronounced but for
the sustaining force of the strength in
special stocks. The dizziness generally
was the outcome of the uncertainty
natural upon the eve of an important
military operation. Great confidence
is felt in the early reduction of San
tiago, but the halt in speculation is
significant Of the desire for accomplish
ed facts rather than probabilities. The
effect of the resumption of hostilities
and the abandonment of peace talk had
a greater influence to the minds of for
ign spectators than it had even in
Wall street. London sold stocks here
all day, and the reaction in Spanish
tours in Paris, where the most accur-
ate knowledge of the Spanish govern
mental affairs is likely to be reflected,
was even more significant. The later
recovery in Paris in Spanish tours was
not impossibly associated with the con-
lCl GACc DCLWCCA lllC l. ICOiuChI anu lllS
French ambassador at Washington.
But the New York stock market was
redeemed from dizziness and perhaps
from positive weakness by the charac-
ter of the buying of special stocks and
railroad bonds. The strength in the
early market was largely confined to
the Vanderbilts and the movement in
these had become specialized to llli-
nois Central and Omaha. Even in
these two Omaha reacted sharply be-
fore the close of the day, and New
York Central was distinctly heavy in
tone. Early in the day Atchison ad-
justments bonds showed conspicuous
strength, as did also the Denver &
Gulf firsts. This buying was attri-
buted to foreign account, even while
London was selling stocks. There
were very heavy individual transaction
in the Atchison adjustments, and there
seemed to be a large overflow from
these in the preferred stock. The 9TH
er sOuthwesterns, particularly Kansas
& Texas preferred and Missouri Pa
cific, showed some tendency to advance
in sympathy. Manhattan also showed
conspicuous strength, but with no new
news TO account for it. West Chicago
jumped five points, but reacted 312.
Changes generally are small and mixed
between gains and losses. There was
active demand for some of the specu-
lative bonds at higher prices. Total
sales $5,235, goo.
U. S. IS coupon were % lower and
