Key Weet. Fla, May 1.-THE cable

the most interesting spot on the island.
The most interesting, the most i'm

There are about 150 newspaper cor
respondents in Key West, and while
most of them appreciate the wisdom OF
the government censorship Of news
matter, some of them have grown i'm
patient, in their eagerness to toll the
interesting stories that are TO he told,
and have tried all manner OF ingenious
schemes for eating matter past the
censor, Usually however, all plans
have been detected by the censor and
the apparently innocent or stupid dis
patch has been returned to the writer
with mo" written in red ink across it.
The most trying period for tue cor
respondents was on this day the fleet
started on its cruise eastward. Every
newspaper man was eager to send the
story. but not line, not a word would
the censor permit to pass. One cor
respondent. early in the morning. filed
dispatch, ths first line reading az
follows: "The newspaper fleet called
this morning toward Porto Rico. !"
| An hour later he went TO file per-
sonal message to his editor, reading,
"Correction-Omit second word in last

When he handed in the last dispatch
the censor met it at the receiving desk,
and with kindly smile handed back

by the newspaper men. He is an officer

MARIA CHRISTINA.
The Most Priceless Possession Of Spain, Says
Hannis Taylor.

New York, June 1.-Hannis Taylor, re-
Gently United States minister to Spain. dis
cusses in the June number of the North
American Review the political future of
Spain.
Mr. Taylor considers historically the cir
cumstances out of which have arisen the
two leading political parties in the penin-
sular kingdom, which have been equally
resolute In resisting the republicans ON the
one hand and the CarlistS the other
since the re-establshment in 1875 of the
present dynasty. United, Mr.. Taylor says,
these parties are more than match for
all their opponents.
mo matter what may happen in the ex-
ternal politics of Spain; no matter if she is
stripped of all her colonial possessions; no
matter ii Romero and Weyler try to stir
up civil war for their own selfish ends.
Spain is safe SO long as conservatives and
liberals stand together to preserve social
order under the existing constitution"
Mr. Taylor is strongly of the opinion that
the time has passed for Spain to depart
from monarchial Institutions. That being
the case, Mr.. Taylor asks why the present
dynasty should be overthrown, why the
wise and devoted queen regent should be
driven out on account of national msfor-
tunes, for which neither she nor her son
is in any way responsible. 1.-The most price,
less possession OF Spa1n, says MT Tayl0r,
sis Maria Christina, because she alone bars
the door to a renewal of civil war; which
at this moment would be destructive to the
country. In this dark hour of SPANS mis-
fortune her pure, womanly character shines
forth like light in a dark place, around
which all patriotic Spaniards should gather.
If monarchial institutions survive her over
throw the accession of Don Carlos, who
apart from his utter and admitted worth
lessness as a man. represents a set Of
medieval ideas and Inspirations that would
set Spain far in the past-at least CEN
tury."
AS confirming his belief that Spain is not
ripe for republic, Mr.. Taylor refers to the
attitudes of Emilio Castaler. IF anybody
clearly comprehends and loves Spain, he
Does" says Mr.. Taylor. I'm his mighty
brain is stored away her whole history as
a part of the history of Europe. In his heart
is an unselfish and filal love of country as
lofty and unselfish as ever ennobled a pa
triot. Convinced years ago that Spain was
not prepared for republic. he resolved to
retire from the political arena and to trans
nit his aspirations to another channel"
Mr. Taylor expresses the hope that the
United States in their dealings with Spain
at the end of the present war will follow
a course consistent with their own normal
dignity and in the hour of victory remem-
Der that justice and generosity should char
acterize their dealings with once friendly
nation when the end comes he says,
'let us be just and generous, not only to
Cuba, but to Spain, too

For Mining Coal for the FiscaLYear Beginning

TO. ADOPT SCALE OF PRICES

President William Fairly, of the state
division of the United Mine Workers of
America, has called state convention of
the miners to meet in this city on Jure
II to fix the price for mining coal during
the coming fiscal year beginning July 1.
Under the present contract the miners
are paid according to slidirg scale bias d
upon the price of pig iron. At the recent
convention held in this city, when the state
organization was affiliated with the Ui.ted
Mine Workers of Ameriza, a resolution was
adopted as the sense CT the Convent n
that the sliding scale be abandoned and
that a demand be made for an increase in
wages.
The miners are enjoying an era of pros
perity on account of the unusual demand
for coal, seldom enjoyed at this eason of
the year, to which they claim to be justly
entitled. The convention promises to be
largely attended, and it is thought that the
question of wages will be settled to the
satisfaction of both the miners and opera
