Mckinley Inaugurates.
The Havana correspondent of the
London Times says: President Nc
Kinley will have an unfettered hand
here. A majority of the Cubans are
prepared to accept unreservedly any
regime treating them justly and insur-
ing the tranquility of the island. The
Spanish residents are also contented
to accept the inevitable, believing that
their interests will be protected and
themselves fairly treated. Therefore.
the way is clear to establish any sys-
tenn of government the Washington
authorities may see fit to impose.

views, the facts are that soon after
the loss of the battleship Maine, during
a dinner party, his majesty asked a
number of admirals for their opinion as
to the cause of the disaster. The adj
mirals thought it was due to an inter-

briefly remarked that he differed with
them. Since then he has repeated his
opinion on several occasions.

Curious Complication.
There is a curious condition of affairs
in the Prussian cabinet, occaSioned by
Emperor William appointing Count
Posadowsky the minister of the inter
Tor, Baron von Bue1ow, the minister of
foreign affairs, and Admiral Won Tir-
pitt to be members. in addition to the
three cabinet ministers without port
folios, with the right to vote on all
matters. This has changed the COM
rlexion of the cabinet materially.
A lack Of harmony has already de-
veloped, and serious doubts are ex-
pressed in parliamentary circles as to
whether his majesty has not exceeded
his constitutional rights in making the
appointments.
The Agrarian leaders and their organ
vigorously attack the appointees, fear
ing they will exert an influence I'M
favorable to agrarianism.
Two interesting points were scored
against the government in the reich
stag during the week In one case the
bundesrath, displeased at numerous

officials, asking for the redress Of
wrongs or for increased salaries, ask
ed to see the signatures on the petitions
and the signatories shortly afterwards
were severely disciplined. Hearing
this, the reichstag refused to show any
further petitions, and at the end Of a
heated debate on Tuesday, the majority
upheld the refusal. in spite of the OPP
position of the government.
The same day an alleged gross in
fraction Of the constitutional rights of
the reichstag, for which Count Posa-
dowsky was responsible, was referred
to a special committee to report upon.
Emperor William has given evidence
| of great citation at the passage Of the
navy bill by his telegram appointing
the Grand Duke of Baden a la suite Of
the marine infantry, the appointment
of Admiral Won Tirpitz as minister Of
state, the comforting of many decora-
lions and characteristic utterances,

has received many congratulatory tel

from Prince Bismarck, and messages
from most of the German sovereigns.

is as mild as that of Virginia. Never
theless it is true and vouched for by
government records. Even the winters
of the Yukon are but little colder than

WASHINGTON, D. c., April ITO
day a great many congressman and

pendence Of Cuba and ask Spain what
that government proposes to do about
the Maine affair.
OF course it is expected that Presi-
dent Mckinley will submit views to
congress early in the week, but what
ever he has to say comes too late to be
of any real benefit. The time has pass
ed when he should have spoken.
Perhaps the most significant event of
the day outside of the Spanish torpedo
fotilla story which exploded early in
the day, is the fact that the govern
ment must raise more money. The
statisticians of the treasury department
are busily at work studying the revenue
problem with a view to submitting a
bill to congress without much delay in
the event of hostilities.
All the sources OIL war revenue are
being scrutinized, and computations
made upon the present basis of popu-
lation and industrial conditions. Secre-
tary Gage is planning strictly revenue
bill. and will probably aim to raise an
additional $10O,O00,O0O annually should
war break out
Beef, tea, coffee, negotiable instru,
ments, etc. are among the objects con-
sidered. 1t is not intended to overhaul
the strictly protective side Of the exist
ing law, since little or no revenue coul6
be gained by raising of rates, and the
pressure for an increase would in some
quarters be very great.
When Assistant Secretary VanderliI
was asked this morning if the depart.
ment would make any recommends
tions provided war was averted, he re-
piled that if congress continued to rol
up big appropriations as the house die
yesterday on the naval bill it might bt
necessary to do something, even if the
country is now spared the expense o.
war. 1t is given out by the hous.
leaders on the appropriation commit
tee that the appropriations already
made exceed the estimates of the de-
partments.
