Washington. April (SpeciaD.- ON
sress President Mckinley is beseigei
by all sorts of appeals for delay and for
the maintenance Of peace at any price.
even though it involves a complete
hackdown of the United States from
every position which the administra-
ton has taken. The last card played
by the peace contingent is the appear
ance at the White House of Louis
klopsch, whose statements to the Pres
ident have aroused such indignation
upon the part of the Congressman who
have heard them. Mr. klopsch has
been used as a mouthpece Of the Span
ish through Mr.. Atkins and he has
stated that General Lee is opposed TO
anything but autonomy.
Mr. Atkins is the individual who
threatened at the beginning Of the rev
olution that he had enough power and
that he would see to it that no action
would be taken by the United States
government in favor Of Cuba. unless
we would consent to grant him certain
privileges. He is a great friend of Mir
Cahellos. who recently came here 20
propose home rule. and he has repeat
edly attempted to get the Cubans t. &C
cept this solution OF the trouble in Gu
Ia. He has now been sent by the
Spanish authorities in Cuba together
with Mir i>lopsch to undo the reports If
the United States consuls and senators
who have visited Cuba.
AS a matter Of fact. the only AmeYi-
can consul in Cuba whose report has
been against the Cuban cause and who
has distorted the facts in favor of
Spain mas been the consul at Cienfugos
who denied that there was any starva-
ton in Cuba.
Senior Quesada said today: Mir.
is The man who Went to Cuba
in order 10 get the honor away from
Miss Barton, ana Who hampered IN
every way her relief measures thera. I
| am sure that he is not an American
and that he is perhaps Of the same
blood as Gen. Weyler. We are sure
that the American people viii either
come to the conclusion that all these
and government officials have /
been classifying the facts or that Mr. /
klopsch is no more or less than hire (
ling Of the Spanish government
Plans have been perfected BY the
war department for the mobilization If |
troops IN case Of war. The regular
army will be the first to 60 out, and the
National Guard of the seacoast sta
tons will also receive their orders t.
march early in the campaign. The lat
Ter will be nobilzed at railroad CEN
-ers along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts
and moved from point TO point as cir
require. In case it is nee
assary to increase the military force, a
7all for volunteers will be made, but
he war department does not anticipate
my such necessity.

THE CUBANS AND THEIR GOV
EMINENT.

Every personal letter from our SOL
diers in Cuba tells the same story con-
corning the Cubans of Garcia's COM
mand. They are gluttons, say the let
tiers, do not hesitate to rob our soldiers
packs when they throw them down to
enter battle, and unaided could not
have whipped the well-equipped Span
ish troops in a century.
We are prepared to believe this, and
to say that so far as the Cuban is rep
resented by the privates in the Cuban
army he is most unattractive person
atty, and not fit to be intrusted with
the government of the island. At the
same time we repeat what has already
been said in these columns-the Cuban
soldiers are not all the larger nor the
better part OF the Cuban people.
The Cuban soldier as we find him is
the direct product of Spanish rule, or
rather misrule. This whole question Of
the fitness of the Cuban as governor
is an open one, with the preponderance
Of testimony in favor of the judgment
being against him. We are strongly
impressed with the idea that when the
war is over, and the census of opinion
among the Cuban people as a whole is
taken, it will be found that the large
majority Will favor such relations being
established with the United States as
will give Cuba permanent American
protectorate, If not absolute ownership
of the country, to be held and its af-
fairs administered as wisdom shall pro-
vide in special laws to be enacted, in
the making Of which the highest, best
interests of the Cuban population Will
be the sole end in view. In it's pros
perity, happiness, industrial, CONNER
cial and civilizing development, we will
find our own best interests promoted.

fine meerschaum and briar pipes, either.
Five OF them were short clay pipes, and
the other two We're corncobs. The eff
fusion OF smoke was something to make
even tobacco seasoned man catch at
his breath. Probably no seven men
ever smoked SO industriously or so
blindingly before. They puffed until
their faces were hardly distinguishable
in the clouds they created.
The militant looking woman got red
in the face with wrath when she saw
the men on her seat pull out their pipes.

The four soldiers and three working
men were enjoying the scenery a great

They all smoked like men trying to

and they smiled with beautiful conf
dence at each other, but none of them
spake any word
