posed Spaniards who tried to blow up the
mortar battery near Fort Taylor Thurs

looking for them last night, and to-day
the torpedo boat Porter has been scout

them, but without success. They are
thought either TO have gotten safely off
to Cuba or to be hiding on one of neigh
boring keys. Two of the suspects were
seen driving along the beach road near
the fortihcations yesterday afternoon They
were followed to the eastern end of the
island, where they were joined by a third
man. All boarded a row boat and made for
Stock Island. a neighboring key. One,
who is thought to be the leader, carried a
rifle. When last seen their boat was aP-
preaching a sioop or schooner lying off
Stock Island. This morning both sloop
and small boat was gone The authorities
have detailed descriptions Of the men.
Among those arrested on suspicion in
connection with the attempt to blow up
the mortar battery was Paul Molin, CORE
spondent for the Eclair of Paris, who was
caught making sketches of the fortifica-
tons.

To the classes, however. our recog.
milton of the Cuban republic is objec-
tionable. The reason has been express
ed by Attorney General Griggs. of New
Jersey, the young man who advised
the president that If we were to recog-
nize Cuba, and hereafter disconnected
Californians, aided by filibustering
Mexicans, were to resist the United
States and lead her armies a chase
through the mountains, Mexico might
recognize them as an Independent ma
ton upon the authority Of our own
precedent. Attorney General Griggs
objected to recognizing the independ-
ence of the Cuban republic because it
does not represent the taxpayers,
and property owners" of Cuba; and
that Is one, at least, of the reasons why
Mark Hanna objects. That this in
turn is one Of the presidents reasons
for Directing, may be fairly inferred
from the way in which Hanna has fit
ted in and out Of the war consultations
at the white house. In a word, this
objection to recognizing Cuban inde-
pendence Is a class Objectionable
Public.

Tho House Currency Scheme.

That gang of political patriots called
the house committee on banking pro-
pose to substitute bank notes for the
government notes called greenbacks.
They are doing this, says the Appeal to
Reason, under the guise of laying all
the burden on the banks to find the gold
to protect the greenbacks. And the
bankers who compose the committee
are willing to bear this burden for the
dear public! How patriotic! The
government, poor old bankrupt and
beggar, can not float it's notes! The
banks, being so much better than the
whole nation, can! This means that a
part Is better than the whole! That
the nation, including the banks, is not
so strong or good as the banks. How
the heart of the people ought to go out
to the dear, patriotic bankers at bear
ing this burden of providing their
notes for the nation to do business on!
They will have to start the printing
presses going and turn out their notes
like chaff and loan them to the peo-
pie. Was ever burden more oppres-
sive? This Is not fiat money! This
is not starting all the printing presses
and paper mills to going! The bank
ers will draw an interest on their own
notes, while everybody else will have
to pay an interest on any notes they
make! There is no special privilege
in this! What would you do II people
had to pay you an interest on all the
notes you could even write out, to say
nothing of having the nation print
them for you by the ton? You
wouldn't do thing but get rich, would
you? And that is just what this pro-
posal of these traitors who compose
the house committee on banking means
to do for these poor, tax-ridden bankers
means. 1t will be repetition of the
Argentine republic scheme by which
the Bank Of England, through. the
banking house of Barring Brothers, Sc
cured the ownership of all the property
in that magnificent empire, and that
too, when the people had plenty OF
money, such as they had borrowed to
pay their debts-but 1t was not legal
tender and no good In demands of Law
for payment.

The continuance of the present gold

States and Spain. If we do not succeed
in forcing it now. then farewell to our
primacy as the financial ruler Of the

THE WAR BOND SCHEME.

The proposal Of popular loan" OF
$500, 100000 of coin bonds should be
discussed by reformers until the peo'
pie so thoroughly understand the ques-
ton that no scheming politician will
ever again dare to suggest such thing.
In defense of the nations honor the
people are asked to give their lives,
and freely respond. Without a muir
muir they pay war taxes on the neces-
saries of life. But the wealth hoarders
Of the country intrenched behind a
money-controlled supreme court, refuse
to allow their incomes to be taxed one
cent.
And worse. Wall street gives notice
that, while blood is free, the money
necessary to wage war can only be OBJ
tanned by bonding ourselves and our
children and grandchildren to repay
in the form OF interest upon bonds,
many dollars ior every dollar now dol
ed out by the organized misers of the
nation.
Thomas Jefferson was opposed to
war bonds as well as bonds issued in
time Of peace. He called attention to
the fact that Virginia paid her revolu-
tionary war bills with paper currency,
and that this currency, being full legal
tender for all dues public and private
never deprecated.
The war greenback, even with pro-
vision for it's redemption in coin dur
ing a term Of years, will relieve the
people of the amending burden Of inter-
est payments on bonds under which
all Of the nations of the earth are now
grooming. An enlightened public senti-
ment will certainly cause the war
greenback to supersede the war bond.

ing about a settlement Of the money
question by having free coinage at a
changed ratio. Senator Wolcott has
proposed 20 to 1. Now, If we're going
to change the ratio, let us have 1t at
16 to 3-4ths. There's profound. diff
ference between the two. We changed
the ratio in 1887, but we kept the same
number of grains in the silver dollar
and changed the weight of the gold
dollar. Let us do the same thing now,
and Rave the ratio 16 to 3-4ths, IL that
will suit them, and not 20 to 1.

HANN1s TAYLOR,

shines forth like light in dark place,
round which all patriotic Spaniards
should gather. If monarchical institu-
lions survive, her overthrow means the
accession of Don Carlos, who, apart
from his utter and admitted worthless
ness as man, represents a set Of media-
val ideas and aspirations that would set
Spain far into the past-at least cen
tury. %
As confirming his belief that Spain is
not ripe for a republic, Mr.. Taylor re-
fers to the attitude of Emilio CASTELAR,.
''f anybody clearly comprehends and
loves Spain, he does, says Mr.. Taylor.
In his mighty brain is stored away
her whole history as a part of the his
tory of Europe In his heart is an IN
selfish and filial love of country as lofty
and unselfish as ever ennobled patriot.
Convinced years ago that Spain was not
prepared for republic he resolved to
retire from the political arena and to
transmit his aspirations to another
channel
Mr.. Taylor expresses the hope that
the United States in its dealings with
Spain at the end of the present war
will follow a course consistent with
its normal dignity and in the hour Of
victory shall remember that Justice and
generosity should characterize its deal
ings with a once friendly nation.
when the end comes, Z" says he, ''let
us resolve to be just and generous, not
only to Cuba, but to Spain too
