GThis semi-official announcement of an
intention on the part of the Administra-
ton to at least save to the bondholders
the amount of their Investment will not
surprise readers of The Times. They are
familiar with the genesis of those bonds.
The Press is right in most of its deduc-
tions but ii errs grievously when it says
"a knowledge of how the President
feels will strengthen the confidence Of
the people in the Administration The
people, much as they are interested in
the cause of Cuban independence, are
willing to waive that question till they
settle their own difficulty with Spain. and
they will not pause long enough in that
settlement to save harmless the syndi-
cate which has invested in Spanish bonds

CUBAN. CORRESPONDENCE.

Consular Reports Called For"

Consular Reports Called For?
Many days have now passed since Con-
gress called on the President for the
Cuban correspondence. The State De-
partment has been working on the mat
ter industriously every day since thas
time and has about completed its work,
it is said.
1t is understood that the reason for the
delay in the transmission of the matter
TO Congress is to be found in the nature
OF the contents. The reports of the con-
suls recite various outrages. and the Ad-
ministration does not care 10 do anything
at this time to cause a more intense feel
ing against Spain than already exists
throughout this country.
Owing to the Presidents absence from
the city until the middle OF the week il
is probable that the correspondence will
not be sent before Thursday at any rate

1t was a little after 4 o'clock when the
thirty participants took their seats at the
table. The decorations We're tasteful, and
the silver and glass glistening among the
smilax. yiolets, roses and carnations made
an appetizing and brilliant picture

ice and handsome loving cup
1t may be remarked in passing that in
the old days of the republic Cabinet Off
GERS were not addicted TO the habit of ac-
cepting costly gifts from individuals or
corporations.
After the repast s1.50o was raised by the
thirty guests. to be devoted to the fami-
lies of men killed on the Maine.
This was not much TO be sure, but men
who pay 500 a meal for their own food
cannot afford to lavish a great deal on

LICLY SHOWN
TO LOCAL BUSINESS MEN.
1T MARKS AN EPOCH IN THE HIS
TORY OF MANUFACTURE In
ST. PAUL.
Congratulate the Makers on the
Showing They Have Made
Throughout the Nation.

Yesterday was proud day for the
American Hoist & Derrick company as
1t witnessed the completion of the first
of the fifteen huge mortar-carriages
which the firm is making under con-
tract with the federal government for
the country's coast defense. This is
the first contract of the kind which has
ever been undertaken by local firm,
and the fact that this work can be done
in st. Paul Is productive of much pride
among the members Of the business
community. AS an informal recogni-
ton Of the splendid accomplishment
the members of the chamber Of COM
merce yesterday visited the manufac-
turing plant in a body and viewed the
mammoth carriage upon which was
erected the twelve-inch mortar, such
as the carriages are made for. The
ponderous war engine is a huge piece
Of machinery. Weighing tons, but so
delicately and accurately adjusted that
its range can be regulated by a child.
Besides the members of the chamber
Of commerce there were present a.
number Of business men and several
women. Capt. A. H Russell, Of the
United Estates ordnance department,
explained the difficulties incident to the
manufacturing of the gun carriages.
and, with expressions of high satisfac-
ton with the one just completed in
this city, complimented st. Paul upon
the fact that it had been established
that the city could compete success
fully with the manufacturing concerns
Of the East. Speeches were also made
by Gen. E. c. Mason, Mayor Doran.

The American Hoist & Derrick conn.,
pany's contract with the government
calls for fifteen of the gun carriages
aggregating a cost of $4,000. The con-
tract was awarded less than year
ago, and last August work was begun
on the carriage just completed. Many
obstacles were met with but were final
ly overcome, and from now on the
mandatory Of the carriages will be
more expeditiously carried on. Already
four more of the big pieces Of machin-

this Is done the carriages will be trans
