THE populist nominees for the
legislature are making an effort to
gain votes by their loud assurances
Of friendship for the agricultural
college. No one who knows the
college under its present most able
and efficient management can be
otherwise than friendly toward
'Whitman's only favor from the
state, the leading educational in
stitution of the northwest, but it is
well enough to take these profess
sions of friendship of the populist
brethren with a grain of salt, and
take look at the past to get at
their true attitude toward the coll
ege. The attitude of the last pop
ulist representation in the legisla-
ture from this county is summed
up by the Gazette as follows:
When the matter of the appro-
priations for state educational in
stitutions WAS before the legislature
at the last session. every populist
from Whitman comfy, except Sen
ator Crow, favored an appropriation
of but $4,000 to run the school for
two years. They vigorously op.
posed any larger appropriation, but
an allowance of $27 900 was finally
secured. The state aid of $4,000
for which all the populists from this
county worked except Senator Crow
would have simply resulted in the
closing of the college, the work Of
which can be carried on with the
appropriation secured only through
the exercise of the closest economy
The populist candidates of two
years ago were just as profuse ir
their protestations of friendship fol-
the college as are those of this wear
and the only safe way is to vot,
the republican legislative ticket
for the republicans are known a,
the true friends of education and O
educational advancement. And es
pecialiy is this true of the legisla
tive nominees of Whitman count,
this year; they can be depended up
on to labor faithfully for liberia
and sufficient appropriations 70

PEACE PLANS
Must Be Based on Absolute Freedom
From Spain

PHILADELPHIA, March 14.-Dr. John
Guiteras, the representative of the Cuban
junta in this city, in an open letter today
discusses the published statements that
there is a project on foot to settle the Gil
ban question on a basis of autonomy.
"The plan" says Mr.. Guiteras, "sugges: s
for Cuba all the privileges now enjoyed
by Canada l cannot believe that such n
plan is entertained by the United States
government, and I feel that an appeal
should be made to public opinion TO pro-
nounce itself against the consummation of
such sacrifice"
He holds that there are two reasons why
the plan of forcing autonomy should no,
be considered, because it wiuld not be
right and because ii would not be possible.
In support of the first reason he says the
English flag in Canada means concilia-
tion, prosperity, progress; it means par
ticipation in the grandest evolutionary
movements in the human race" while in
Cuba the Spanish flag signified "devasta-
ton, ruin, murder: it signifies participate tor
in movement of decadence and degenera-
ton that has no parallel in history"
He then declares that it would not be
honorable to insist that the Cuban people
remain in any way dependent upon a gov
ernment which has made systematic STAR
walton a procedure of war, and which, ua-
der military authority, has pursued n
policy of determination. He quoted the
letter written by ex-Minister de LONE In
which he refers to him as Spain's trusted

wards peace to be established in the
island of Cuba and stating that I was
acting with full knowledge of the Sagasta

this matter is solely propmted by my desire
to prevent a conflict between Spain and
the United States. and to establish, If pos
sible, basis, as every true American
hopes that will give us peace at an early
date with honor for all concerned"
Tomas Estrada Palma, of the Cuban
revolutionary party in this city today said
that the proposition for the Cuban pacifca-
tion reported to have been offered by
Senor Ceballos, was not satisfactory to
the junta.
I'VE will not consider any proposition for
less it be based upon the absolute inde-
pendence of Cuba. We are willing to nav
Spain an indemnity of not more than

Spain, we will continue the war. Our re-
sources are sufficient to do this. will not

INSPECTION WORK
No Lack of Vessels Now Engaged in
Commerce

NEW YORK, March H.-The board on
auxiliary cruisers inspected the ST. Louis
and New York of the American line this
afternoon. The visit to the st. Louis was
a short one. The steamship was construct
ed under the supervision Of naval experts
and all of the officers composing the board
were familiar with the plan of the vessel.
The New York was next visited. She was
constructed when the company had its
ships under the British flag. The New
York was at one time in the reserve of the
British admiralty and was built under the
supervision of English officers.
The inspection of all vessels on which the
government has options by reason of the
subsidy act will be proceeded with as rap
idly as possible.
Capt Rodgers has very positive instruc-
tions to make thorough inspections and i'm

GUN CARRIAGES
Wanted Just as Soon as They Can Be
Made

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE ord
nance department of the army has sent
an invitation to all the firms which have
in the past proposed to build disappearing
gun carriages, in answer to the depart
ment's advertisement, to come forward
at this time and submit on their own be-
half proposals for building such carriages.
They are invited to state how many car
riages they can undertake at one time,
and are enjoined especially to state the
exact time to be consumed in making them.
1t is believed by the officials that the de-
livery of such carriages could begin in
from three to four months after the plac-
ing of orders, the difference in time de-
pending upon whether or not the manu-
facturers have their plans already in hand
and also upon the caliber of the gun to be
mounted, whether 10 or Pinch. The plans
of the fortifications board, which are be-
ing followed in the emplacement of these
guns by the ordnance officers of the de-
partment, contemplate the mounting of all
the big rifles on disappearing carriages

Another member of the board said: Just
as soon as our mission here was announced
we began to receive orders from the steam
ship companies. The owners of all the
available American steamships in the har-
Dor, believe l am safe in saying, have
placed their vessels at our disposal. Mer-

no doubt, enter into negotiations for a
number of these"
Clement A. Grscom. president of the
International Navigation company, owners
of the American line, was in consultation
with the board in reference to the St. Louis,
but what the result of that consultation
was could not be learned. II was said by

been decided. The St. Louis is advertised
to sail on Wednesday, but it was admitted
by an official of the company this morning

OFFICIAL CONSULTATION
Senator Proctor visited the White House

calls excited a great deal of interest. He

While nota shipbuilding firm, the Quintard
works have done a great deal of work on

be regarded in the case of the auxiliary

Because of a protest from some of the
western people the secretary of war has

naming of the department of the Platt,"
