STRATEGIC BOARDS KEPT BUSY.
Urged to Substitute Peacefal Blockaa
with InvAsion Of Cuba,


with Invasion Of Cuba.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The strate.
sic boards of the army and navy are
being urged to substitute the peaceful
blockade by taking one port on the
north and one on the south Of Cuba,
for the purpose of establishing juno
ture with the insurgents at Sancti
Spiritus aud with Garcia's forces in
Santiago de Cuba. Secretary Albert.
ini of the Cuban legation said today
that movements Of this character would
be extremely valuable in opening up
connections with the insurgent forces.
It is felt that small ports could be taken
practically without opposition, and
that Cienfuegos on the south coast,
and Sagua La Grande on the north are
probably the best fitted in point of 10.
cation and lack of coast defepces -
these bsse Of supplies. Cienfuegos on
the south. Is the point most accessible
to the commands of both Gomez and
Garcia, while Sagus IL within easy
reach Of Gomez.
BY having two bases, one ON the
north and one ON the south the danger
OF interruption in the communication
with one or the other would be avoided
and it il thought through communica-
tions between the two could be affected.
It is thought Cienfuegos and Sagua
could not offer the resistance that Ne.
tanzas and other large ports are able TO.
The large Cuban ports have fairly good
shore batteries and it would take .
fairly good navy force and the delay in
giving noncombatsnts notice before
they could be captured. Besides, the
small ports would hardly make little
more than . pretense. il they did not
surrender at the outset. With two
bases Of operations secured the Cuban
authorities here feel that the Cuban
forces in the field and those zeedy 10
take the field, could b speedily and
effectively equipped with arms, ammu.
nitioa and supplies.
It il said that Comes and Garcia
have the men and the enthusiasm o.
pable Of striking an effective blow once
they have arms and the only reason for
their present inaction il their failure 30
have adequate ammunition for Q stroug
forward movement on the Spanish
forces. Recent oopferences between
the Cuban military odisers here and
General Miles leaves little doubt that

The New York Suns London CORE
spondent cables to the effect that the
blowing up of the American man-of
war, the Maine, in the Cuban harbor
three weeks ago, has prevented, rather
than hurried President Mckinley to
action. The correspondent states that
President Mckinley had notified the
Spanish government that he would in
terfere unless Spain succeeded in put
ting a stop to the revolution by March
l, and that he had already placed
notes in the hands of the chancellors of
all of the other foreign governments
to the effect that he was about to in
terfere, and that from all of them he
received assurances of strict neutrali-
ty. The blowing up of the Maine
certainly prevented action on March
LIST, for the reason that President Nc
Kinley knew too we'll that foreign ma
tions would have considered interven-
ton. at that time as being punish
ment for the disaster, before the blame
had been properly fixed. The Presi-
dent will now have to wait until the
Board of Inquiry makes its report be-
fore he can act, and even then it is
probable thnt Spain will ask for time
to make its own investigation, report
contrary to the American investiga-
ton, protest, ETC., and thus probably
drag the trouble along for another
year. 1t is extremely doubtful, how
ever, whether the Mckinley admins
tration will tolerate anything of the
kind proposed by the Spanish pro-
gramme. Certain it is that the minds
of Americans are made up that Presi-
dent Mckinley act must soon, or the
Republican party will be false to it's
promises and will be held to a strict
accounting at the next election.

The Hawaiian treaty is dead issue,
as far as the United States Senate is
and if the United States ev-
or hopes to annex the Islands in tie
Pacific it will have to be done by joint
resolution or bill to be passed by both
houses of Congress. In order to rati-
fly the treaty it was necessary to have
two-thirds of the Senators in Con-
gress, and the friends of the treaty
claim that they were shy about Is
votes. A majority will pass the bill
and send it up to the President. Just
how much money the Spreckels sugar
interests distributed among the Senat-
ors opposed to annexation is not

when patriotism is most needed, the
Chicago Record of March LIST, says:

There is a congressman from Mankato,
Mimi, named James Thompson McCleary,
who says that, as the Maine entered Havana
harbor with her guns loaded for action
Spain had right to place her over mine
or destroy her, as she saw fit, if she had rea-
son to suppose that her intentions we're war
like. That the ship was not on a friendly
mission, Mr.. McCleary thinks, will be gener-
ally admitted.
mo one has mobbed him yet, probably be-
cause he published a statement in the Post
Sunday morning saying that Mr.. West, OF
the Star, did not understand him.
"As it happens, Mr. West is most reliable
writer, and a second congressman was pres
ent when the remark was made; this gentle
man. assures me that McCleary said just
what he was quoted as saying and that he
has privately reiterated the opinion several
times since"

The KitsOn Naturalization Light.

The introduction of this adnira-
BILE method of lighting promises to
work a revolution in illumination.
It's brilliancc and convenience
needs only to be seen to be appre-
ciated, while its cheapness, con
trasted with the efficiency of the
light, is one OF its most striking
merits. The Peoples Light Co..,
of GreenyilIe, of which Mr.
George Wheatley is President and
Mr.. T. A. Metcalfe Secretary,
are owners of the Kitson Hydro
Carbon incandescent light, and the
well known personal character of
these officers is ample warrant for
the reliability of all claims made
for it. Il Is more brilliant than
electricity, and at the same time
is cheaper than any other artificial
light known. 1t is also
highly endorsed by insurance
companies. An examination OF
Tine loht itself is its best adyer-
tisement Ii can he seen in ope-
