PAET Of the war indemnity
which the United States will ex-
act from Spain will probably be
the feet. Spain is too poor to be
able to pay much money, and Gu
be, Porto Rico and the PHILIPPINES
will be out of her hands before the
war ends, and of course, will form
no part of the bill of damage which
she will have to foot She has .
few good war vessels, however,
and those which at the conclusion
Of the conflict, are not sunk or cap
tured, will come in handy for the
United States. Spain's "henor''
may feel itself outraged by having
to surrender her feet to the United
states as part of her indemnity,
but as her honor got her into this
trouble As we'll as into most of the
other calamities which have afflict-
ed her in the past two or three
centuries, the sacrifice ought to be
easy. If Spain were to get rid of
her honor at the same time that
she iooses her colonies the Ameri-
can war would help instead of
harm her.

AN interesting case has just been
brought before and decided by the
supreme court OF the state, which
will have a tendency to discourage
the efforts Of printing houses To-
Gated outside the state to secure
county printing and job work.
Cass county recently opened bids
for county printing, and an outside
firm WAS the lowest bidder, where
upon the commissioners threw out
the bid and let The contract to q
Fargo firm, under the state law
which provides that all printing
shall be done in the state. The
firm whose bid was thrown out,
the Tribune printing Office Of Min
neapolis, brought mandamus
against the commissioners, which
was appealed to the supreme court
for final decision. The claim was
made that the law regulating coun-
ty printing was unconstitutional
and interfered with interstate
transactions. The court holds that
the law was constitutional, and that
the commissioners were right in
throwing out the bid as they did.

sune'' he alleges, his duties as represen
tative of the Filipino government at

In an interview he said: The only
portion of the Spanish American treaty
which we are concerned in is the cession
of the Philippines which is illegal as the
Spaniards lost their sovereingty over the
islands and the Americans cannot dispose
of the future of the archipelago without
consulting the Filipinos. Their consent,
by popular vote, is necessary. As uniyer-
sal suffrage forms the basis of the Ameri-
can Constitution. the United States can
not carry out this measure. The result of
the peace comm ission's deliberations in
only satisfactory to us inasmuch as Spain
is turned out of the philippine islands.
81 do not know officially why the
Filipinos have not released the Spanish
prisoners. l telegraphed to Aguinaldo on
the subject and hereby declare it to be
untrue that they are held for ransom.
II can only regard the possible eyentful
sale of the islands as being nonsensical.

end any attemptsto sell the Philippines to
a foreign power. We are determined at all
hazards to remain independent.

GOVERNMENT OF CUBA.
Cen. Brooke VIII Have Supreme Mill
tary Authority.

Washington, Decemehr 10. The war u.s.
partlnent made public today the roriaai
order providing for the military govern
ment of Cuba. The notable feature ol W
order. is that Major General Ludlow "ho
is designated as military governor ol
Havana city while nominally subordinate
to the division commander, oeherai
Brooke, is apparently charged TO exercise
all the civil functions in that place under
the direct authority of the PRESIDENT.
General Lee's functions appear to pc
limited TO those of q strictly military
character. although it is said at the war
department he may eventually be charged
with all the duties, civil as we'll as mill
tary of the governor of province.
The commands of military departments
of the division of Cuba commanded by
General Brooke. SO far as decided upon
are as follows: Department of Pinar DEL
Rio, Brig General G. W. Davis; depart
ment of Puerto Principe, Gen. /
Carpenter; department of Santa clara;
General Simon Snyder; department. OF
Santiago, General Leonard Wood.
This leaves the provinces of Havana
and Matanzas uDproyided for Thess
commands will probably be left open
until the return Of tne President from
the South but the probabilities are strong
that Major General Lee will be assigned
to the department Of Havana and MAJOR
General j. ID Wilson TO tha command OF
the department of Matanzas.

magnates who have been hobnobbing at
the Fifth Avenue hotel since last Tuesday
morning were very tardy in getting to
that hosiery today. Only a couple of the
delegates had put in an appearance at
noon, notwithstanding the fact tnat the
annual meeting was to have reconvened
an hour earlier. Now that the delegates
have temporarily, smoothed over the
Muokenfuss-Von Der Abe argument, there
is nothing to prevent their going ahead
with the regular order of business.
Many stories are in circulation as to the
purchase Of the St Louis and Louisville
franchise but nothing definite has been
decided upon.
Louisville is in the market and If the
league buys it. the general impression is
that +. de Haas Robinson Of Cleveland
will purchase the st. Louis assets if they
are put fur sale and will then transfer the
Cleveland club to St. Louis. This would
reduce the league. to ten clubs for the
coming season.
