meeting an Associated Press telegram was
handed to the president stating in effect
that all cipher kilograms hereafter sent out
Of Havana must first be translated In the

preted as applying to government as well

received with expressions Of Indignation,

MADRID WAS STUPID
Is Just Realizing That America Is in
Earnest

LONDON, April 9.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Standard, teegraphing on
Friday night, says:
Surprise and perplexity have been caused
in Madrid by news of the steps of the
European powers in Washington, which
tends to confirm the prevailing idea that
the same influences are acting ia concert
with the mediation of the pope to induce
the government and the queen regent to
meet President Mckinley half way.
Official circles are much pleased by the
new aspect of the crisis, which is said to
increase the prospect of pacific solution.
The most curious feature throughout the
crisis has been the fact that during the
past six months the Spanish people and
their rulers have not seemed to realize that
the American people and the president
were in earnest, though reluctant to 70 to
war. The United States diplomats and the
executive seem hardly to have realised
how difficult 1t would be to induce proud
little Spain to relinquish her hold upon
Cuba and Porto Rico.
Up to the very last moment American
diplomacy and the president have 80 little
understood the real state Of things in the
domestic affairs of Spain as to fancy that

ests, the arguments Of few far-sseius

meeting of the leading members of the
steering committees of the various parties
during the day in the rooms of the COM
mittee on appropriations, in which the
situation was canvassed and the reasons
for prompt action in the senate after the
matter is once taken up was gone over
much as they had been In preceding meet
ings. The managers Of this movement are
endeavoring to secure reversal of the de-
cision of the committee on foreign rela-
tions to report for both independence and
intervention but they do not count ou
majority of the committee, though they
assert they have made headway. They rec
ognize the fact that even with the majority
OF their committee their way there will still
remain senators, including Thurston, Pet
tlgrew, Gallnger and Mason, whom 1t will
be very difficult to win over to any line
of action that does not provide for the rec
osnition of the present Cuban government,
and who will insist upon debating a con-
trary policy. They are finding fewer OBJ
stacles to progress among Democrats,
Populists and Silver Republicans than
among straight Republicans.

CABINET DISCUSSION
The Issue Made Up and the Outcome
Is War

WASHINGTON, April S-The Cabinet
meeting occupied little over an hour and
half. 1t was mainly devoted to an in
formal discussion Of the situation. The
Presidents demeanOr was grave through
out, and the proceedings indicated that
there was no expectation on the part of
the administration that war would be
averted. 1t can be positively stated that
there were no fresh developments in the
situation brought to the attention of the
Cabinet, nor any dispatches or cummuni-
cations of any sort placed before 1t. The
Joint note of the powers was considered,
but that 1t will have practically no effect
on the situation as 1t now exists was
plainly evident. Consul-General Lee, 1t
was reiterated, would surely leave Ha-
vana Saturday, according to the cabled
instructions. Just when General Wood
ford is expected to vacate his post is not
ascertainable and may not have been de-
cided. Owing to the complete formation
of the policy and the absence of an over
night development, the entire meeting was
devoted to discussion, including the safety
of Americans and the fruitless last ses-
sion of the Spanish Cabinet. Secretary
Long, one Of the last to leave, carried
numerous papers on matters Of detail for
consideration.
The meeting was uneventful. No tele-
grams of any Importance had been received
since yesterday from Minister Woodford
or Counsel-General Lee, and there was said
to be no reason to expect any in the near
future.
The session was devoted entirely to
general discussion of affairs, but no con-
cluSiOn was reached on anv point The
situation can be stated on the authority of
a number of the members of the cabinet to
be unchanged since yesterday. There are

MADRID, April g. 5 p. ma dispatch
from Washington just received says no
negotiations have been initiated there end
that none will be undertaken abroad ox-
cept through Gen. Woodford, who is in

WAR PREPARATIONS
Army and naval preparations are pro-
ceediug Systematically, but the larger de-
tails of preparations have been shaped and
there is little more to do than see these
regularly executed. While there are many
naval movements, there has not yet been
any decisive order affecting the movement
of the fleets. All is in a state of expectancy
in this regard. A report was current today
that the Spanish fleet OF cruisers had sailed
from CadZ for American waters. There
was no confirmation OF this, either at the
Spanish legation or at the navy depart
ment, though it would not be improbable
as the press dispatches from Madrid last
night stated that this formidable fleet was
expected to sail today.

PARIS, April s.-The officers composing

Esterhazy met today and decided to begin
civil actions for libel against Emile Zola
and M. Perreux, publisher of the Aurore,
who were recently sentenced to imprison-
charges which were not sustained against
the conduct of the count-inartial. The
Officers also expressed the wish that the

that Emile Zola be expelled from the Le-

President Mckinley is seriously en-
tertaining a proposition to take a large
number of government positions from
under the civil service law and make
them appointive. When it is known that
these positions are those which
were filled by the late lament
ed Grover by Democrats and then
placed under the rules of civil service
without the occupants standing any ex-
animation as to fitness and capability,
no fair minded man will criticise the
presidents action. Civil service, when
administered according to the rules
which ought to govern it, is all right in
it's place, but to place men in a life po-
sition under the cloak of merit when
they have not been examined as to their
merits, is nothing more or less than
hypocricy and should be exposed by
making a change. There are men in
the Republican party who are capable
of performing the duties of the posi-
tons, who have worked for the success
of their party and it is rank injustice
to have them barred from all hope of
reward for those services by the trick
cry and mugWumpery of a man who
was and is a spOils politician in every
sense of the term.

extent, starting from nowhere and end
ing at the same place. Factories, which
for years We're idle, are now running
full time and at their greatest capaci-
ty. Retail and wholesale merchants all
over the country report the largest vol
ume of business even known, Even in
New Mexico the same condition OBJ
tains, as the letters from his papers
special correspondent, sent from differ
ent parts of the territory, testify. Ev-
cry industry is in Il prosperous condi-
ton and business men are arranging to
Increase their transactions in 1899.
In the light of these facts, which must
be admitted by the chronic GROWERS, it
is unnecessary to say that the Repub-
lican party has fulfilled every promise
made in the campaign of 1896. Protec-
ton is undoubtedly obnoxious to the
theoretical statesmen of the country,
but to the practical business man it has
been a blessing 50 substantial that he
does not are nor dare to dispute its
benefits. The folly of advocating free
trade for the United States and the
"open door" for the new possessions
does not need placing in any more glar-
ing light than the present commercial
and industrial situation of today throws
upon these propositions. America for
Americans is the only policy which
will bring prosperity to the land, and
the Republicans have eXemplified that
saying in a that is convincing
to every one except those who are blind
because they will not and do not care
tO see.

who are posted on matters at the ma
tons capital hat if the Elkins bill

at the present time it would carry by a
two-thirds majority. The prosperity

men to the wealth Of the territory and
the progressiveness of the people who

g Kansas City Star, in commenti1

The Kansas City Star, in commenting
on the sugar industry in the United
States, takes a very pessimistic view of
that industry and says: 1T has been
demonstrated that climate and soil in
this country, except in limited areas, is
not suitable to the production of the
sugar beet The Star is correct in
stating that the climate and soil suit
able for sugar beet culture is limited In
area, but it does not take into consider
alton that that area is large enough to
supply all the sugar consumed in the
country. The whole of New Mexico Is
suited in every particular for raising
sugar beets of great richness in sugar
content and of a high percentage OF
purity, and Santa Fe is located right in
the center of the best sugar beet region
Of the world. All that is needed to
make a success of the industry here Is
q factory.

FRIDAY. 30.

The attitude of the Republican party
of New Mexico has always been con-
sistent OH the question of the admission
of the territory as a state. We favored
the admission of the territory when the
Democratic party was united in their
opposition against it. We still favor
its admission, believing that there is no
good and substantial reason for keeping
us out of the Union as a state and be-
lieve that this can best be accomplished
by the election of a delegate to congress
who is in harmony with Republican
politics and principles.-Republican
Platform, New Mexico, 1898.

The opposition of some of the eastern
people to the retention of the Philippine
islands calls to mind a resolution which
was passed by the citizens of a certain
city east of the. Allegheny mountains,
which read: mo territory west of the
now city of Cambridge will ever be of
any practical benefit to settlers. 1t is
filled with savages and wild beasts and
it's distance from the settlements of
Massachusetts renders it inaccessible
Judging from the talk o coming from
Massachusetts, the persons who passed
that resolution are still alive and are
running things as they did in the days
long since gone.

Admiral Dewey has always been
considered a very modest man, but re-
cen reports would seem to throw con-
siderable doubt on that part Of his
makeup. After smashing the Spanish
fleet in Manila bay he wanted to cut
across lots and take the Carolines. Had
such an act those islands would today
have belonged TO the United States. The
admiral may be modest. but he seems
to want the earth.
