Monday, April 25, proclamation by
Governor General .B'anco. This pre-
clamation reads as follows:
Proclamation. To all the Spanish
forces, army, navy, militia, fremen,
and available reserves. Soldiers: The
anxious moment has arrived when we
the United States and avenge
the insults we have re-
ceived from them in the pass
ing century. Their treacher-
GUS purposes are not obscure. Con-
vinced that they had to encounter us,
and knowing the loyalty and faith with
which Spain has ever acted, they inso-
lently begged for the island of Cuba, of
which they tried to despoil US because
it was pleasing to their ex-
travagant ambition. The govern
meat of his Majesty has
spurned such unheard of
pretensions, trusting to the fortune of
arms and of our sacred rights. If we
initiate our fathers example we are
worthy to invoke their memory in the
midst of the clamor of conflict to drive
back this ambitious stranger who,
reason and right,
tries to appropriate to him
self this rich flower bed of our owp.
We will make him to feel the temper
Of our arms il he dares to seek us.
We will, or die in the effort. The oc-
casion then propitiousIy invites
is to add new pages of
glory to the history of our army.
After victory crowns your forces you
will return 10 your honored hearths, |
saying with pridr: 81 saved the Island |
If Cuba from the domination of a |
stranger"

The War Question.

The chamber of deputies, as well as the senate, of the cortes, by about two-thirds vote, has authorized the signing of the pro- tocal, although the agitators and dema- gogues in both houses indulged in a great deal of violent and inflamatory language in the doing of it. The queen regent at once signed the protocol and at once pro- rouged the whole legislative outfit. It will not be re-assembled until it is needed to pass upon the final treaty of peace that the peace commissioners are to prepare in Paris. The Spanish commissioners will doubtless be named by Premier Sagasta very soon.
 The action of the cortes and the queen regent puts an end to Spanish rule in Cu- ba, Porto Rico and the remainder of the islands in the West Indies held by Spain, and to one of the Ladrone islands That much of the war is forever settled and determined The action at Madrid this week is conclusive to that extent.
 There practically remain three things, namely, the nature of the control of Cuba the selection of one of the Ladrones as an American possession, and the disposition of the other islands in the Pacific belonging to Spain before the war The last named question is practically the one of difficulty that is to come before the Paris commits sion, and none of the islands are of con- siderable value outside the Philippine group, the issue in Paris may be said to relate to one subject-the Philippines
 As nearly as can be gathered from all information that comes to hand, Spain dreads most of all any money claim, or damage claim that foreign warships can enforce. She seems to desire peace free from money assessments She seems to be content to hold the rich Iberian peninsula, and to go out of the colony business alto gether She has but shadow of an eff fective navy, no money, no credit. and she very plainly has no appetite for an expensive war in the Philippines "~oinst

And we would feed and clothe the great east, by going west. through the ports of the south. Think of the steel and clothing and coal that would find an out let for the countries west of the canal through ports like Brunswick, Tampa and Mobile. Alabama from it's coal fields would furnish millions of tons for commerce and war All nations and all countries would float our coal through the canal at our doors. The dream of Morgan has become the dream of the Times. We have been dis posed to smile at the senator's scheme un- til now. It has been gradually breaking on us that the dear old man given to vis- ions and dreams may be enjoying his sec- ond sight. The Times, now, loves to dwell on the picture that presents great trunk lines hurrying to southern seas with the products of the great west and north and the greater south, making our own ports like unto Corinth in the old days and Rhodes in the still older times.

STATEMENT OF EMpREsS' SLAYER

From the New York Journal.
 Geneva, September 13.-"The fact that murdered the empress should cause no sur- prise, for I am an anarchist. You ought to know what that means, because some of our brothers were martyred in Chicago I am the messiah of all sufferers-of those who have not, who eat not and who drink not It is the only way we have of drawing attention to our sad lot. It is emphatic and unmstakable.
 '"The social conditions have made us what we are, and society may try to rem- edy some of our ills when we have killed some of it's shining lights.
 Any one similarly prominent would have done just as well as the empress. Fate put her in my way. 1 heard she was here. It is wholly indifferent to me whether have a trial here or in Austria. If l had my choice of punishments inflicted by diI- ferent nations, 1 should select that of France, where one is guillotined. 1 hope l shall be put to death, for then 1 shall be a martyr to the principles of anarchy. Think not that my accomplices are few; they are as numerous as the multitude of those who suffer bitterly by reason of un- just social conditions. From an interview with the Assassin of Empress Elizabeth.
