PLANS ARE NOT CHANGED.
Col. warnings Death VIII Not Delay
the Departure Of Troops
for Cuba.

Washington, Nov. 2. There has
been no change in the plans of the war
department respecting the sending OF
troops TO Cuba. No date has ever be, n
fixed when troops shall depart. The
only thing that has been determined
upon is that the control OF the island
shall pass TO the United States January
/. Attempts TO make IL appear that the
death OF Col. Warning from yellow fever
has changed the plans OF the depart
mcnt are without basis. When Gen. Lee
was in Washington the earliest date he
recommended for sending troops TO
Cuba was November Is. and he did this
with several reservations, suggesting
that only small number be sent and
TO particular places where there was
little danger of disease and fever. With
n view TO making arrangements for
the troops n board OF officers was sent
to Cuba TO select camp sites and ascer-
tain what was needed for the troops.
The principal officers Of this board,
Coils. Hecker and Lee, have been or
dered to Washington, and their reports
will be carefully considered before any
troops are sent TO Cuba. The war de-
part ment, moreover, does not wish TO
have any conflict with Spanish troops
as TO occupation OF towns. and there
fore desires 20 send the United States
troops into Cuba only short time be-
fore the Spanish troops evacuate. Ow-
ing TO climatic conditions the United
States has not been pressing for imme-
date evacuation, requesting only Tint
reasonable progress should be made by
the Spanish authorities.

his final resolve are so pertinent 10 the

Judge Neu had hoped that Altgeld-

might come up and give the democracy

issues OF 1896 behind. New issues did
arise. but the democrats did not rise
with them. They have not one word To
say" remarks Judge Neu of the party
In New York. ION the great. absorbing
questions brought TO our attention by
the successful termination OF the war"
Judge Neu was a democrat of the
school of jefferson. Monroe, jackson,
Polk. Pierce and buchanan. and the
other democratic statesmen who for
90 years favored the enlargement of
American territory. He therefore con-
cluded that the time had come for him

an and Bailey. IL believe" he says,
that this country should retain every
inch of territory which has been ac-
quired by conquest. or which may he In
our power 10 acquire through our rep
resentaiives on the peace commission"
He summarizes thus his argument for
expansion:
First, In the interest OF humanity and in
common justice we cannot abandon the
people In the Philippines TO their greatest
most cruel and unrcentng foe. the Span
lard. II our war was waged for humanity's
sake IN Cuba. Second. because our release
OF these colonies TO Spain would result

With this as his platform. Judge Neu

reasons for the change should appeal 10

VIEWS ARE CHANGING.
Democratic Organs Are Twisting and
Turning Under the Country's
Prosperity.

Before the present political campaign
began the democratic journals admit
ted the prosperity of the country, but
credited it 20 anything or everything
beside the republican tariff and the
restoration. due TO Bryan's defeat. of
financial confidence. But AS soon as the
political fight got under way they dis
covered that there was no prosperity at
all. and they are now as lachrymose as
the workingmen were In the time OF
the German Wilson law where are
the good times that were promised us?'
has become familiar headline in dem
ocratic prints. though the whirr OF re-
vived machinery. the immense increase
In bank clearances. che renewal OF rail-
way building. the ease with which
money may be borrowed at low rates
on good security and the decrease in
failures and the ratio OF new mort
cages answer such questions before
they are asked.
The campaign has wrought another
kind OF change i'm the spirit of the dem
ocratic dream. While the war with
Spain was on they we're so fearful OF
being accused OF unpatriotism that
they had a species OF chronic delirium
over the glories and trinmphs OF the
field. The Victories won were not
enough SO whenever a gun was fred at
sea they credited Sampson with ssh
lencing" Spanish forts. which. ms n mat

and neglect. and IL the Spaniards sur
