Four additional wars OF magnitude are
to be enumerated before we can approx
innate TIE total expenditure OF life and
money, during the last thirty odd years
These were Russia and Turkey, Germany
and France, China and Japan ard Turkey
and Greece. There must have been easily
million men killed, wounded and miss
ing IN the various battles in these wars,
and the cost could Tot have been less than
a couple OF billions OF dollars
The burden OF all this. the loss OF blood
and money. naturally falls upon the labor
ing class. The farmer ard artisan. A.

For gold the merchant plows the main.

GEN. LEES WELCOME,
FIOrida's Ovation tn the Returning z
Consul General.

Tampa. Fla, April 10.-A large crowd
went TO Port Tampa today to meet the
steamers Olivette and Margaret of the
Plant system, which were due to arrive
here this afternoon from Havana and
Key West with refugees. The fact that
the steamers were delayed in leaving Key
West was only made known here this af-
ternoon and caused great disappointment,
as hundreds of old Confederate veterans
had assembled to welcome Consul General
Lee. Both ships will reach here tOmor-
row morning, the Olivette about o'clock
and the Margaret several hours later.
Gen. Lee will be given an ovation by
hundreds of his old soldiers and the peo-
pie of Tampa. The demonstration will be
participated in by a number of the Gu
ban citizens who desire to give expression
ministratiOn of the consul generalship.
The steamship line between Port Tam
pa and Mobile was discontinued today on
| the arrival of the steamer Florida. Presi-
| dent Plant deems the risk of losing his
! ships too great and will not put the yes
| sells on again until the war. or the dan
| ger of il, is over. The steamer Mascotte
| which arrived here Friday night is still
| loading with supplies for the fleet and will
leave tomorrow night for Key West
The Plant Steamship Company Will prob
| ably begin a tri-weelSly service between
| this port and Key West, to be continued
| until hostilities stop.

AS might have been expected, it now
transpires that all the rumOrs and re-
ports we have been hearing and seeing
about an alleged determination Of the
German Emperor to help Spain in the
event of war with America have been
nothing else than Spanish canards
made out Of whole cloth at Madrid
In support of this view the semi-official
North German Gazette says:
From the beginning of these complications to
the present hour the Government has abstaiHed
from any attempt which could SAVIOR in any way
Of taking sides, and has particularly avoided
everything which might have the effect OF dis
turbing relations with the United States.
To which country Germany is bound by 100
years OF unclouded friendship.
Nothing IN this attitude has been changed by
the adhesion OF Germany TO the collective step
Of the powers in Washington, a step 10 which
all the powers had previously assented. and
which hsd in view solely, and with all friend
illness. the humanitarian aim approved by the
United States itself We think we are not mis-
taken IN saying the government has the whole
public opinion of Germany behind il in the
policy Of absolute neutrality which il has pur-
sued
If the above were not enough, it is
stated in diplomatic circles that Kaiser
Wilhelm not only has rejected all over
lures from Queen Christina and the
Austrian Emperor. but has shrewdly
advised them to keep the Pope out Of
the matter, as he regards the Vatican
movement as i'll advised and calculated

Cairo. April 1.-THE victory of the An

at Nakeila. on the Atbara river, has prac-
tically destroyed the dervish force. The
dervishes who We're not captured were

The Message.

Although a member of the Cabinet
positively declared, after the meeting
at the White House last night, that the
message would go in today at noon.
as promised by the President, it does
not follow that Mr.. Mckinley may not
find an excuse for changing his mind
1t was stated by the official above re-
ferred to that the message would be
sent to Congress exactly as it was
originally written, with some appended
remarks on the ar1nistice proclaimed by
the Spanish government.
That hypocritical subterfuge appears
to be taken seriously by Mr.. Mckinley
and other followers of Mark Hanna,
and there is every reason TO believe
that, either through further delay. or
secret work on senators and members,
the Administration viii attempt TO Sc
cure Congressional help to treat it as
a basis Of peace. Yesterday Senator
Hanna, the President and Archbishop
Ireland, especially the last named. were
in comparatively high spirits over what
they believed TO be the prospects Of the
scheme Of Intervention hatched be-
tween the Pope and them.
It was announced last evening that
the 'armistce" declared by the Span
ish government was not limited to five
days. as stated in Saturdays dis
patches. but is for an unlimited period,
at the discretion Of Captain General
Blanco. who Of course would treat the
matter as he might be ordered to from
Madrid
There is one thing that it seems i'm
possible for Mr. Mckinley to under
stand. but which he viii be made to un-
derstand. sooner or later. 1t is this:
Armistice or no armistice. that mat
ters not at all. The American people
demand and viii have revenge for the
destruction of the Maine and the mas
sacre Of It's crew, and will have it be-
fore the world is many days older. OF

Is il true that the President has issued an

WILLIE BAXTER AND SISTER.
Washington, April s. 1895
No. dear children Mr.. Mckinley is too
pious and patriotic to issue such an order.
Wicked advisers may have urged him to,
in order to show that the children of
America yeaerate their pastors and mas
ters, and also love Spain; which they do
exactly as the dog of destiny loveth the
serpent which squirms. The President
has not issued any order on the sub
ject, except just one, which provides that
all eggs used upon the occasion shall
have been laid since he made up his mind
about his message. Otherwise it would
be bad and remind him unpleasantly of
the Spanish bond deal and other features
of the Cuban policy of his Administration.
