DEFENSE OF HAVANA.

Among the officials, from Blanco
down, the feeling is one of resignation.
They are desperate, but they have done
what they could to save the remnant
of SPANS sovereignty in Cuba. They
have also made the best preparation
possible for repulsing a hostile attack
Some navy and army officers have real
faith in the extensive system of land
batteries and in the harbor defenses
of Havana. The higher officials, how
ever, fear that if the point of HOSTILE
ties is reached and the landing OF
American troops on the island is de-
sirable for strategic purposes, they will
be landed at MatanzaS and other
places and marched overland while
Havana is blockadad.

Washington, April S.-The expecta-
ticn Of the state department officials
is that Consul General Lee viii be out
of Havana before another sun sets in
that city. This statement is based on
the opinion of Assistant Secretary Day,
who said this afternoon that the consul
general would leave his post of duty
probably tomorrow, on the Olivette
a dispatch vas received at the de-
partment late this afternoon from Cen
eraI Lee, but it was said it related
simply TO q matter Of detail Of nc great
Importance. From the fact that he
made no reference to any disturbance
or ili-feeling, the officials take II for
granted that the day in Havana passed
by without anything Of moment hap
pcning.
BY Sunday, at the very latest, it is
now believed. all the consular officers
OF the United States in Cuba and all
American citizens who desire to do so,
VIII have left the cities where they are
located, and be either in the United
States or aboard vessels bound thither.
The effects Of the consulates, consist
ing Of Gnimportant papers, furniture,
etc, will be placed under tie charge Of
the consular representatives of the
British government now in the island,
where they viii be kept pending the
developments of the issue between
Spain and the United States.
INTERESTING PHASES.
The important papers Of the offices
will be brought to the United States.
Officials of the state department, in dis
cussing the withdrawal of the consuls
from Cuba at this time. say it presents
many phases of interest. They point
oUt that such Withdrawals must not be
considered in any manner a belltgerent
act, but simply one of precaution, based
on humanitarian motives, designed TO
protect them from any trouble which
might result from the strained rela-
lions between Spain and this country.
In a. week, suggested one official today.
they may all have returned to their
positions, If trouble between the two
countries should be averted.
AS to the consul at Porto Rico, he will
use his own good pleasure in with
drawing from the island. but the proba-
bility is that he will either come home
or go to some other place where he Will
feel secure from hostile demonstra-
tons.

TO FUSE OR NOT TO FUSE

There is evidently considerable squirm:
ing Just now among the popocrats to see
where they are at. Ever since the mule
and the cow were married by the Rev
Mr.. Bryan, under the sign of the cross Of
gold and crown of thorns, there has
been considerable agitation as to which
would have the gold and which wear the
thorns, and SO far as we can observe it is
Still conundrum.
Here in North Dakota, we hear but
little from the middle-ot-the-road people
whether pop or democrat. They seem
to think, that even if they unite there is
no show of success. while divided they
are certain of defeat. The campaign OF
1896, however, has left SO much gall and
bitterness that a fusion t:,at will unite
will be difficult matter. But we shall
see what we shall see.

1HE TELLER RESOLUTION.

Again the United States Congress was
called upon to say whether the people of
this county are honest; not only honest
as defined by legal technicalities, but
honest i'll principle, honest as defined by
the golden rule. Our debt by law and
on the face of its paper representatives is
payable in gold and silver. When that
law was made, gold and silve were at a
certain defined ratio. Then gold and
silver were both used as monetary bases
and currency in nearly all nations. To-
day, the ratio of value of silver to gold is
greatly changed. 1t takes twice as much
silver now as then to equal certain
amount of gold. Only very few coun-
tries of the world use silver as none
tary basis. The commerce of the whole
world is based on gold alone.
Should we pay our creditors fifty cents
on the dollar was the question before
Congress. There isn't any other possible
way of putting it which will not mean
just this and nothing more. No argu-
ment that silver has been sinned against,
that it ought to be worth more, changes
the fact, or makes the position more
tenable or honorable. The resolution
except as an opinion, carried no binding
force; it was not statute: it was only an
opinion. Butin the opinion of a majority
ofthe Senate, it would perfectly fair and
honorable, to pay our debts in silver, and
the Senate represents states. The House
gave its opinion by almost strict party
vote, that the people OF this nation would
pay their debts in dollars, each good for
adollarall over the world, and the House
represents the people.

set by John #. Carroll on Wednesday. They
were Police Commissioner John b. Sexton, an
intimate friend OF Mr.. Carroll, and John n.
Docrr Of Fiss. Door, g. Carroll, who is a

While Democrats are rosiGning from the Man

at the ratio Of sixty a day, and since IL became
known that Mr.. Croker intended to make tho
club his headquarters 500 applications for NOM
bership have been received. It Is doubtful IL
tho building can be enlarged sufficiently to ac-
commodate the crowd.
Tho building is owned by the Camp estate.
and IL was found that tho erection OF the pro-
posed addition would interfere with the light
for the Buckingham Hotel, which is owned
by the same estate. Tho owners did not
want to consent to tho building OF the
addition. and tho club. officers. finding
that any alterations they could mako would
not render the club as comfortable as they
wished to have 1t, have been looking around for
another building. They have In mind the old
New York Athletic Club building. ut Fifty-ffth
street and Sixth avenue. and the old University
club building at Twenty-sixth street and Madi-
son avenue. A meeting OF tho Board of Gov
ernors will be held this evening and anow build
ing will be one OF the subjects discussed.

Every Hope Gone-The Prisoner Maintains His
COmpOsure.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6.-Theodore Durrant's
last hope of escaping the gallows tomorrow was
knocked out to-day when Gov. Budd refused to
interfere. and when the United States Supreme
Court declined to entertain two appeals made
by Attorney Boardmnn.
Deuprcy, Durrant's chief counsel. tried to play
a game OF bluff on Warden Hale by serving him
with n bill of exceptions to the habeas corpus
proceedings. Deuprey asserts that this consti-
tutes an appeal. but the Warden says he will be
guided by the opinion Of Attorney-General Fitz-
gerald, and Fitzgerald is known to be opposed
TO these purely technical points. which are
urged only for delay.
Durrant maintains his composure very we'll,
though he is intensely nervous.
District Attorney Fitzgerald this morning In
structcd Warden Hale OF San Quentin to pay no
attention to papers filed by Durrants attorneys
and to proceed with the execution.
WASHINGTON. jan. 6.-Lewis =. Boardman.
the attorney for Durrant, the now famous Cali
was announced last night from San Francisco.
reached here at noon to-day. His errand was to
invoke tho aid OF Mr.. Justice Brewer OF the SUI
prelns Court In an effort to stay the execution
OF Durrant, fixed for 1890 o'clock tomorrow
morning. He was unable to SEQ the Justice
until after court adjourned at 1 o'clock. and
then found his errand %fruitlcss.
He asked Justice Brewer TO sign a citation to
tho Circuit Court for the Northern district OF
California to perfect an appeal from the de-
cision OF that court denying n writ OF habcas
corpus TO Durrant, or to issue a writ OF error 10
the Supreme Court of the State. SO as to bring
up the case against Durrant in tho State courts
for review. Justice Brewer, heard Mr.. Board;
to refuse both requests.
Mr.. Boardman SAYS tonight that he will en-
dcavor TO induce the Supreme Court rs a body
tomorrow to issue II writ of prohibition to pre-
vent the execution of Durrants sentence until
the matter OF the appeal from the Circuit Court
Is settled. The difference between the time in
Washington and San Francisco will give the
attorney an hour and u half after court con.
venes to,morrow In which to labor for his clients
salvation from the impending doom, but no one,
unless IL be MIR. 4 onrGman. has any idea that he
will accomplish anything. Unless Gov. Budd
intcrferes Durrant will hang as announced.

Treasurer Phipps OF Queens county was served
with an order yesterday directing him to show
cause in the Supreme Court to-day why he
should not turn over to Comptroller Coler tho
assessment rolls and records of unpaid taxes in
that portion of Queens county now a part of
the documents or any balance OF cash on hand
on the ground that as the county had advanced
money TO pay claims audited against the uncol-

nounced yesterday that he would refuse 10 pay
any bills against the funds in dispute until the
