Cattle Utilized for Smuggling.


''Some of the shrewdest tricks ever
played are by the smugglers of opium, :"
said H. A. Tanning, of Seattle avery
unique smuggling scheme was un-
carthed a few years ago by the United
States secret service officers in North
Dakota. 1t was noticed that an un-
usually large number of cattle were be-
ing driven across the line to the North
Dakota markets, and the secret service
men planned an investigation. For
some time their work was in vain, and
they had about given up hope of dis
covering any unlawful operations, when
an accident revealed the fact that the
nostriIs of the cattle were stuffed with
opium wrapped carefully in tin foil.
In this way each steer was worth twice
its normal value. Hundreds upon hum
dreds of animals had been driven across
the border with their nostrils loaded
with opium, and it was estimated that
the smngglers had cleaned up profit
of 5000 before the discovery was
made. But the smugglers were sly
and they escaped and were never cap
tured. ."-St. Louis Globe e-Democrat.

No American Catholic VIII Espouse the
Cause of Spain.

Chicago, March 11.-"No true Ameri-
can Catholic will think of espousing
the cause of Spain against this coun-
try because the former is a Catholic
nation" said Archbishop Ireland in an
interview here to-day. ITO do that is
to let ones self down as traitorously

sympathies in the pending controversy

the side of that nation. because of its

In so far as implying that the pope
will use his offices to aid Spain as

TO SETTLE THE QUESTION.
A Plan to Put Cuba On n Footing Similar
to English Colonies.

Washington, March 11.-Projects for
the settlement of the Cuban question
are numerous. but most of them are
regarded in official circles as unworthy
of .serious consideration. One plan.
however, has been presented to the
president which has received the APP
proyal in general way of leading men.
whose councils have weight with the
administration and there is reason to
believe it is the subject of studious
reflection in the cabinet. The proposed
plan gives to Cuba all the rights and
immunities enjoyed by Canada. Spain
reserving to herself only such rights a.
England exercises over her colonies.
The statement, as presented TO the ad-
ministration. is as follows:
Constantly recurring untoward incl
dents in the relations of Spain and their
country and the overwhelming evidence
of a shocking condition of affairs in
Cuba, which of themselves justify some
interference, have brought the country
to state of feeling, which, while most
anxious for peace, demands such
speedy action as will bring the whole
affair to a close. Can we bring ii to
close, and avoid the clash with Spain?
If we insist upon immediate Cuban
independence, we must back the de-
mand by force, for neither Spain nor
any country with any self-respect
could tolerate such interference in what
we must recognize is her domestic
quarrel, without resentment and re-
sistance. While we should doubtless
succeed. 1t would involve terrible loss
TO us and still further suffering to Cuba.

TO MAN THE FORTS.
How the Troops Will he Distributed On
the Atlantic Coast.

Washington, March 11.-Orders We're
issued at the war department to-day
for manning the newly established for
tifications on the Atlantic coast from
Boston down to Galveston, on the gulf.
They include the organization of the
new artillery regiments. Sixth and
Seventh, authorized by a recent act of
congress. The Sixth regiment will have
its headquarters at Fort Slocum, N. Y,
and the Seventh at Fort Henry Md
The location of these two regiments at
the points indicated will necessitate
the transfer of all of the men now oc-
cupying these garrisons to other places
Batteries b and G of the Fifth artil-
lery are at Slocum, and Batteries d
and +. are at Fort Henry. In organiz-
ing the new regiments, six men viii he
taken from each of the batteries now
in service. so that each of the new bat
teries will have at the rate of Is expe-
renced artillery men.
The orders for the manning of the
artillery demand the most promptness
in their execution, and it is expected
that the movements of the troops to the
various places assigned them will begin
within the next As hours.
The new fortifcations on Long ISL
and Head. at the entrance to the har-
bor, will be guarded by a battery of
the Second artillery now at Fort
Adams, r. |. For the operations Of
the big guns on Sandy Hook, two bat
teries now at Fort Slocum, one at Fort
Hamilton and another at Fort Wads-
worth. will be utilized. Ii is expected
that the Sandy Hook garrison will be
established at once The garrison
the First artillery station at St. Fran
els barracks. st. Augustine. Fla. will
be transferred to duty at Sullivan s
island Charleston harbor
Fortress Monroe. Va. Is probably the
strongest and best equipped station on
the Atlantic coast, and the garrison
there will be called upon TO man other
fortifications, but not to an extent that
would weaken its own efficiency. One
battery of the First artillery at Fortress
Monroe will be transferred to- Fort Nor
gan. Ala. which. in connection with
Fort Gains. commands the entrance to
Mobile bay.
For the better protection of the ma
tional capital. one battery of the Fourth
artillery at Fortress Monroe has been
ordered to Sheridan Point, Va. This
fort is nearly opposite Fort Washington
and in connection with il commands
the approach to Washington by water.
The batteries Of the Fourth artillery
stationed at Fort McHenry, near Balti-
more VIII be distributed between Fort
Delaware and Fort Mott, n. j., thus
providing for the protection of Philadel-
phia. Trenton, Camden and other cities
in that vicinity,
Fort St Phillip. on the Mississippi
river just below New Orleans. will be
garrisoned by battery of the First ar
tillery now at Jackson barracks. New
Orleans The other battery al Jackson
barracks has been assigned to duty at
Fort Point. Galveston.
Arrangements have been made by the
chief signal officer Of the army. by au-
thority of the secretary of war to es-
tahlish immediate telegraphie and tele-
phonic connections between all the new

have been assigned.

1t thus appears that the president has
power to assign any retired officer of
the navy to duty during the progress
of war, but that he can only assign him
to the command of squadrons or ships
by and with the advice and consent of
the senate. There are many officers on
the retired list in the full enjoyment of
health and mental vigor. despite the
fact that they are now g. years of age.

properly insist on its acceptance. This
would be substantial victory for
Cuba, would leave Spain TO retire with
self-respect, and would leave Cuba bet
ter off than though now made inde-
pendent Span has yainly tried to put
down the insurrection, the insurgents
have vainly tried TO drive Spain out and
establish a government and the only
way to bring about speedy peace is to
take into consideration the claims.
rights and feelings of both parties.
I'VE are in a position to insist that
the terms offered Cuba be fair and gen
erous, such as would enable her to
make her own laws. lay and collect her
own taxes and provide in every way,
without let or hindrance, for her own
prosperity and growth. 1t is expected
that Spain will never carry out such
an arrangement, but II we see ii in
augurated. Ii would be impossible for
the old conditions ever TO return. Inas-
much as Spain would retain at least a
nominal sovereignty such an arrange
ment would be much less humiliating
to her than to be compelled 10 relin-
quish al once all rights and claims
upon the island.
The time may possibly come when,
by the operation of the law Of our po-
ltical existence. Cuba will fall to us
peaceably. If this prove correct the
method suggested paves tne way for
that by giving her an opportunity to
gain some experience in self-govern-
ment first. If she Is to be independent.
as very possibly may turn out to be the
case by and by, preliminary stage of
genuine autonomy would best prepare
her for that. Nor is it desirable at this
time for the United States to undertake
the responsibility of governing her. 1t
is unwise and unnecessary for the Unit
ed States to assume political or finan
cial responsibility in the case either or
both of which most of the plans so far
advanced involves.
If ii should be shown that the Span
ish government and its officials are not
in completely to the disaster to the
Maine and prompt disavowal is made.
with an expression of regret and an Of
fer to arbitrate the question of RESPONSE
bility and the amount of indemnity, II
any was found due, the United States
could hardly resist the principle of ar
bitration in settling the question. The
Maine disaster. however. is a distinct
incident and should be considered by
itself .

China required longer time to consider
the matter. and therefore the negotiations

Russia is still exerting pressure to bring
