WILLING TO END IT.
Cuba Would Not Pay Over IA Hundred
Million Indemnity.

Million Indemnity.
New York. March 1S.-That the Gu
bans are willing to end the strife in their
island is without question, but while
they are willing to pay Spain an in
demnity, the leaders here are positive
in their assertions that they are not
weakening in the slightest degree. and
are willing to continue to fight
The question of the amount of indem-
nifty which might be paid in case such
an agreement were feasible was talked
of earnestly by the officials of the junta
here today. Just what amount might
have been paid three years ago, and
that which might seem reasonable now
from the Cuban's point of view, may be
gathered from the following reply to
such a question, which Tomas Estrada
Palma made this evening:
AT the beginning the war indemnity
was $3.50, 900, ,000, but Cuba could not
stand it, and this was one of the rea-
sons that the revolt was preciptated.
In the beginning of 1896 after the inVa-
sion of the western provinces by the Gu
bans the latter might have been willing
to pay 5000, 900, 600. AT the beginning
of the dry season of '96-7 they would
have paid $3.50, 100000, but now they
would not give more, if as much as
500 900. 900.
IF the wet season should set In this
year before such an agreement could be
arranged. we would not think of pay
ing anything. The reasons for the de-
crease in the amounts are the increased
chances of our success" continued Mr..
Palma, mot to speak of the destruction
and desolation of the island that inn
pairs its productive capacity"

AMERICA THE POWER.
Lord Beresford Urges the Alliance With
England.

London. March 1S.-Rear Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford. in an interview
with correspondent of the associated
press, warmly advocated an Anglo
American alliance as a move in the
direction of peace and calculated to i'm
mensely develop trade He said:
Such an alliance is natural, and |
believe the mere fact of its conclusion
would deter others from attaching an
inadeauatefy defended interest to either
country. Now is the time to accom-
plish it when the advantages are ap-
parent to both countries. A decade
hence when. if she desires, the United
States can have become a first class
naval power and will. perhaps, have
adopted the policy of free trade, IT
might not be worth her while to under
take the responsibilities of an alliance
with Great Britain. When America
has built her navy sne will be in a
position to enforce her demands. which
will not take her long now with her
enormous latent resources and me-
chanical and engineering facilities.
An Anglo American alliance would be
the most powerful factor in the world
for peace and the development of COM
merce."
Speaking of the possibilities of the
United States going to war, Lord Ber-
esford remarked:
If she ever does, no matter what
happens at the beginning, she must
eventually win. because OF the enthu-
siasm and intense patriotism of her
people"

PHILIPPINE 0UTRAGES.
Weyler Made Millions when He Was
Governor General.

Detroit. Mich, March 1s-Prof Dean
G. Worcester of the University of
Michigan, who has visited the Philip
pine islands in the interest of science.
says that the people here are unwill-
inS TO believe the things said about
the Spanish treatment of the eubans.
They seem too abhorrent. But il they
could appreciate that the outrages in
Cuba dwarf those of Armenia, they
would have stopped them long ago.
Said he:
For two years and a half I was ina
close contact with officials of Spain IN
the Philippine islands and witnessed
the abuses of the government. Weyler
WAS at the time governor general. His
salary for the time he was in tie ISL
ands was s5e.o0o but it Is positively
known that he placed S4,500.0o9 to his
credit in the banks of Paris and Lon

shal by commanding d certain num-

Messenger publishes a note to-day saying
the Russian government instructed its

sources the independence of her national
administration Russia will not hesitate
to recall the Russian ironclad Vizer. The
Russian military officials, after leaving
the Korean army. will remain temporarily
at the disposal of the Russian mis- sion
In view of the still unsettled state of the
country The note proceeds:
mo longer bound by responsibility
which the presence of the Russian in
structors and financial advisers of that
country impose on Russia. the latter can
now abstain from active participation in
the affairs of Korea, hoping the young
state. strengthened by the support OF
Russia. will be able TO maintain without
assistance order at home and preserve
her full independence. Should the reverse
be the case the Russian government will
take measures for the protection of the
interests and rights of Russia a great

THE poor natives are taxed by the
Spanish for being alive. There are ten
million people in the island, and they
are excessively taxed on everything

rich. The houses of those who failed
to pay their taxes were burned and
sometimes people were tied TO trees and

would have been lacking 10 manly pride
and all that goes to make a true soldier
if he had not resented it. And now by
way of excuse, dispatches inform US that
Shafter in his answer states that he
could not help himself, he could not do
otherwise in his treatment Of Garcia as
he was ordered by the president. II this
be SO the question naturally arises, Did
the president make a blunder in exclud-
ing Garcia from q share in the hoaors of
the surrender or did he heap ignominy
upon them purposely in pursuance of
his original policy that they are not to
be entrusted in the government of Cuba?
From the exulting sneers of an admins

much Of politics or how little Of soldierly
courtesy is there in the recent snub of
Gen. Garcia and his patriot band.
