LONDON, May l6.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Specal Telegram. .)-The Daily
Telegraph's Madrid special says:
The foreign minister has preferred against
the United States government serious
charges OF breaches OF international laws.
He denies that the blockade OF Cuba is ef-
fective and believes all the European powers
will endorse the statement He objects to
the American practice of bombarding ports
without the usual warning and adds that
the Spanish government is giving attention
to the question and will take all measures
called for. The minister denied having any
knowledge OF the alleged use by America
of special incendiary bombs or other sub
stances forbidden by the rules OF civilized
warfare and added that II the accusation
were proved he would at once insist on the
application Of international laws dealing
with the subject.

a Race Track.

A strenuous effort is being made to
secure sufficient subscriptions of stock
to insure the building Of an enclosed
race track and ball park in this city,
and some very favorable offers Of
property suitable forth purpose have
been made. There are several good
and substantial reasons why this eff
fort should succeed. Sank Centre is
very favorably located for horse rae
ing, at the junction of three lines of
railroad, AID towns upon all the lines
are in the proposed circuit Long
Prairie, Glenwood and Alexandria,
our nearest neighbors in the sporting
field have tracks, and all of them
would be pleased to have this city in
the circuit as it would greatly strength
en- it, and assist in securing a better
class of racers. A base ball club,
creditable to the city, can be main
tanned here as has been fully shown
by experience.
And there is another and far more
reaching purpose. This city is espe-
cially we'll located to conduct an
annual agricultural fair, and the time
is ripe for organizing a society for
that purpose. It will not only be an
excellent stimulous to our farmers
who would compete, but it would
serve to advertise the agricultural re.
sources OF this vicinity.
1t is hoped the effort now being
| made will meet with encouragement
Every resident of the city and vic,lnit,
F., mas a direct interest.

Several n 3Wa Gapars cite the civil war
as q warning that our contest with
Spain may b. long and dreadful, but
as tho New oT.l World points out.
there is no possible parallel between
the two cases. 1t is simply pseposter-
Gus. Here are the sound reasons pre-
sented by tho World:
1. First OF all the Confederates were,
Americans, not Spaniards an import
ant difference.
2. Their armies were comm anded by
some of the very ablest West Pointers,
then living, including Lee, Jackson.
the two,Johnstons, Beauregard, Long
street., Stuart and others, soldiers
equal to- any that war has ever pro-
duced
B. These Americans stood face. to,
face, with the Union armies from the,
veHy outset. They were not transport
ed 1000 miles. They fought on their
own ground.
4. They numbered 500, 900 fighting
men, whereas Spain has not more than
E50,0 effective soldiers in Caba and
cannot LAND any more.
3. They had their homes, their corn
fields, their cattle pastures, their pig
pens and their smoI1ehouses at their
backs. They had /, 900, 600 negro farm
hands to raise food supplies while the
VIII tie men fought. They had res ources
such as poo, bankrupt and revolu-
ton racked Spain has not had in a
century.
The civil war divided the country.
, This war unites it. The North and
. South are standing together as oneman
. and our war-making power represents
now the combined force Of both Union
ana Confederate fighting, plus a great
] increase in wealth, population, transit
facilities, food production, Internal
| tional credit and all other resources
= Plus also all the teaching of that cost
: ly War lesson, plus experienced officers
and soldiers still ready for duty and
, plus powerful navy.
The country that faces Spain is quite
five times as potent as was the divided
country that tried conclusions with it,
self in 1861. Comparison in such q
case is simply absurd. Duluth Her

Cincinnati, October ia hospital
train from J~acksOnville,~ Fla, with 140
patients, mostly suffering from typhoid
fever, reached Newport today in a
drifting rain. The train was in charge
of DR.. Richardson and Hospital Stew
ard Seneta. They report no deaths en-
route, and that he men endured the
journey remarkably we'll. When the
rain ceased somewhat the cars of the
Fort Thomas electric railway were
brought alongside the train and the
work of transferring the patients was
begun. The seats of the street cars
were removed and the men placed on
the floor on mattresses. The transfer
was an agreeable relief, and the pure
air of the Kentucky highlands acted
like a tonic TO the enfeebled soldiers.
The men were takn to the Fort Thom-
as hospital.

Proposed Hallway Development in
Cuba

Washington, October 12.-Secretary
Alger will recommend to congress that
the existing railroad system in Cuba
be extended so as to form a line run
ming directly from Cape Maysi at the
east end of the island to Cape Antonio
On the western extremity. He will al
so recommend that this work be I'M
dertaken by the United States govern
ment and that congress appropriate
the necessary funds. The secretary
expects to serve a double purpose by
the construction of this road. In the
first place it is a military necessity.
The existing railroad system in Cuba
is extremely crude; it is not possible
to get troops within three or four hun
dred miles from Santiago by rail from
Havana. No less important service to
be served by the construction of the
road is to restore prosperity
to the island at the earliest possible
moment and alleviate the distress now
existing among the native Cubans
The construction of the railroad will
give work to many of the unemployed
native laborers. AS the road progress
es sections of the country will be open
ed UP that are now inaccessible tC
