KIND WORDS FROM ENGLAND.
President McKinley's Action Declared
a "Modei of Stntesmanship'

"Modei of craftsmanship"
London, March 1o.-The Daily Chron-
icle, in an editorial this morning on
the Cuban situation, describes Presi-
dent McKinley's action throughout the
crisis as "a model of craftsmanship"
1t declares that the action of the Wash
ington government in connection with
the Maine disaster deserves the high
est recognition.
There is every Indication" says The
Daily Chronicle that the United States
are preparing for the inevitable strug-
gle. Soon 1t will be necessary for Great
Britain to show on which side its
sympathies lie."
Arguing at considerable length upon
the "unselfishness Of Americas mo-
tives in desiring to put an end to the
he'll upon earth in Cuba" and insisting
that america has a better right to in
terfere than has been put forward as
justification in two out of every three
wars in history" The Daily Chronicle
says: I'VE hope Great Britain will not
only go as far officially as the furthest
limits Of information law permit but
tiiht publi' p.HIloH Will utcldIt llotll
openly unmistakably and in the teeth
OF all Europe, If necessary, as SYM
pathizing heartily with the motives i'm
pelling America at last to take step
so neutral and yet one she has so long
hesitated to take.
AT the same time we wish 1t were
possible to persuade Spain, even at the
eleventh hour, that her honor and Cuba
might be saved by the recognition of
inevitable facts. To bid Cuba be free
would be hard task, but 1t would be
the safest and most dignified course"
The Daily News says editorially this
morning: while crediting the United
States with the generous error of CIV
ing the world noble example of sac
ritice for peace by unpreparedness for
war. we are glad to see that they have
shown themselves wise In time

FIGHTING FOR LIBERTY.

For the Republican.
Down in the island of Cuba
Where now there's fearful war,
The people are suffering intensely,
And will, till the strife Is o'er.
The Cubans are fighting for freedom,
As we did acentury ago,
And the misery of the people
This nation will never know.
If our brave country would help them,
The long-fought war would cease,
And tho little island of Cuba,
Once more would be at peace.
Men. and women, and children,
Are dying in the street;
Dying from starvation!
And tho want OF bread and meat.
A mother cries, Save my children
And let me die alone,
Only feed my darlings!
And she dies without moan.
We in our peace and plenty,
Should ask the Lord to iced
Those poor heart broken patriots
Who are so much in need
May those heroes win the battle.
And their island shall be free!
How brayely they fought in war timo,

LEE AND THE VOLUNTEERS.
No Fear of IL Demonstration Agains
Our Consul General.

NO EGar OF u demonstration Against
Our Consul General.
Havana, March 10.-Havana. escaped
the excitement of Sunday last. which
seems to have reached a high pitch
at Key West and elsewhere. Consul
General Lee was not advised from the
state department of the request from
Madrid for his recall. nor of the with
drawal Of the request. Information as
to both points was furnished him by the
correspondents. In the absence of par
ticulars- General Lee believes that the
request was prompted by the autono-
mists. who probably alleged that he
was not q believer in autonomy as 1t
exists here, and therefore asked his
removal to get stumbling block out
Uf the way. t r.s
Consul General Lee is on the best of
terms with General Blanco, Senor Jose
Congosto and the most influential
Spanish merchants. All assure him of
absolute protection, even if the volun-
teers should make demonstration.
General Lee believes the volunteers
would be controlled by the merchants,
in whose employ they are. Others
doubt this, but the ranking colonel Of
the volunteers assures General Lee
that the consulate and the Americans
would in no event be the object of
demonstration, should any occur.
General Lee is no more anxious to
remain in a vexatious position than
any other counsel in Cuba, but he has
no intention of resigning nor any be-
lief that he will be recalled. He is
cool, good humored and somewhat i'm
patient of the sensational and untruth-
full reports emanating from Havana or
Key West.
The volunteers ere apparently more
quiet since they were assured by the
government here and by Madrid that
there is no intention to Gisarm or dis
band the corps. The Havana battalions
have been supported in their protest by
comrades of the same corps throughout
Cuba
The court Of inquiry pursues its tao
turn and even secretive way. The be-
lief here Is that the court Is principally
engaged now in killing time. and is not
likely to 90 north until next week. 1t
Is certain that the members are
strengthening the testimony daily by
personal observation of the wreck and
the carefully prepared plans made by
Ensign Powelson from the almost
hourly reports of the divers.
Americans here are greatly pleased
at the prompt action of congress in
passing the defense bill. every one re-
garding the appropriation as q wise
measure in time of peace.
Henri Laine. the American cores
pondent, has been expelled from the
island. He left on the Plant line steam
er Olivette at noon yesterday. There
have been further arrests on charges
of conspiracy.

Elwood Webster sold thirty Western
horses at Oxford, Pa, last saturday at
prices ranging from S75 TO sl35. From
these figures we infer that Oxford affords
u better market than our city for the sale
of horses as Mcssrs Jester & Mcdaniel
rarely sell such large number in one
day at as good prices. The land, however,
is very fertile in that section, and the
farmers are as enterpri9in2 and as pro-
gro.sive us any in the vicinity OF our city.
