MADRID, July 21.-General Parreja,
Spanish commander at Guantanamo,
refuses to be included in the capitula-

code commander can only surrender
the troops under his immediate com
mand. Consequently it is claimed the
surrender includes only the troops
actually at Santiago.

President Lacey said a run had been

Good Roads.

The Baltimore american of Tues
day CURLY said in its issue of that
day on the subject of better roads:
"There is simple common sense for
the good roads question. Get good
men, and make the money reach the
roads. AS things are at present orga-
nized-or disorganized-in Maryland,
not one dollar in four or five appropri-
ated for roads reaches the work on
the roads. This fact is known. 1t is
admitted. 1t is one of the chief scan
dals of the State.
Nov the time has come for the
money to be honestly used. There
should be new laws, new regulations,
new men and methods. The lack OF
good roads is keeping down the price
of every farm in the State, costing
every farmer more to get his products
to the market, keeping back that
progress which would come if we had
better highways.
ut is simple matter, but we hope

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY's firm con-
sentative course in the consideration
of the exciting incidents of the past
few days in regard to Cuba and Spain
is being generally commended by the
press and the people of the country
irrespective of party. His firm atti-
tude in the DeLome incident resulted
in complete disavowal by Spain of
the unofficial utterances of the Minis
ter, with complete recognition of
the dignity and standing of the United
States Government, while the Presi-
dents prudent and.patriotic coursein
regard to the Maine disaster amid the
universal excitement which followed
is highly commended both at home
and abroad. What will be the out
come of this Cuban-Spanish complica-
ton, no man, of course, can tell, but
it is now conceded that in every de-
velOpment since the new administra-
ton entered upon its duties the Pres
ident's course has been such as to
meet with general approval, while
the attacks made by few individuals
upon his course and that of his asso-
ciates have been generally denounced
and repealed by large proportion of
the country.

EVERY day seems to make matters
worse for the calamityites who are
proposing to pool their issues in the
coming Congressional campaign
First, wheat went up, then the mills
opened, and their opening was fol-
lowed by an advance in farm products
generally, then wages increased, and
now the Dingley law is bringing in
money enough to meet the running
expenses of the Government and get
ting ready to create surplus. This
is all very hard on the people who
have insisted that prices could not ad-
vance without the free coinage of sill
yer, that protective tariff would not
start up the mills or increase wages
or employment, and that the Dingley
law would not produce sufficient rev
enue to meet the expenses of the Gov
eminent. 1t is unfortunate for them
that all this should have happened
before election, but extremely lucky
for the people, who will thus escape
being misled by renewal of the false
assertions which theseEcroakers made
in 1896, and have reiterated at every
opportunity since that time.

Expresses His Views on the Foreign Com
plicatiOn.
Senator Wellington arrived in Cum
berland Saturday night to spend Sun
day at his home in that city. He was
compelled to return to the capitol
early Monday morning. He was ask
ed by representative his views con-
corning the war excitement arising
from the Maine incident.
II am not one of those who favor
going to war;" he said. "There seem
to be some Americans and American
newspapers ready to insult "a foreign
nation at every opportunity-being
like the Irishman at the fair, anxious
to have his coat tail tread upon so he
can hit some one, no matter who it is.
There are some who are anxious for
war, not caring what nation may be
the opposing power,
Il have never believed in the wis
dom of recognizing the Cuban bellig-
erancy, my judgment being that such
step has no legal justification.
LAS to the Maine disaster, it is diff
ficult to give an opinion in the pres
ent absence of authentic information
on the subject. In the first place
doubt the good policy of having sent
the ship to Havana harbor. l have
not, however, given up the theory that
the explosion occurred accidentally.
1--WE not only are uncertain that
there was an outside agency involved
in the sinking of the vessel, but if there
was, there is the further uncertainty of
what that agency was-Spanish or
Cuban-authorized or irresponsible.
II cannot believe that Spain could
have been guilty Of such treachery as
would be involved in the wilful de-
struction of the ship and murder of
its men. Nor can l see how Spain is
to be called to account if the vessel is
shown to have been sunken by ire
sponsible parties.
''If the inquiry does not develop
the fact that the Spanish govern
ment committed the treachery of de-
stroying the ship, then war can't be
avoided, and the sooner we get at it
the better it will be. No money COM
pensation would repair the wrong.
We should forcibly seize Cuba and
destroy the Spanish power.
This is contingency which | do
not anticipate, for as | said before
do not believe such treachery could
have been committed by the Spanish
government. Although there are
some very bad Spaniards the revolu
tion in Cuba seems to me to be a
revolt against Spanish authority. l
do not believe the Cubans capable of
, self-government and hesitate at the
prospect of having another Hayti so
close to our shores, or territory an
nexed that might give us much
trouble"

THE Dingley law has fulfilled the

THE Dingley law has fulfilled the
promise of its trainers. In its seventh
month, February, it has produced an
average of more than a million dollars
day revenue and presents the treas
urv with surplus in excess of the
expenditures of the month.
In the twenty-eight days of Febru-
airy the receipts were $2S, 572 ,53S. a
larger sum than in any February since
the Inauguration of President Cleve-
land. The expenditures were $780,
29,010, leaving for the month sur
plus of $1,945, 358-the first surplus
which the month of February has
shown since the election of President
Cleveland and his free trade congress.
The customs receipts alone were
$15, 040, $50, sum larger than in any
February since Inauguration of Presi-
dent Cleveland. The average daily
receipts during the month were$1 ,O20,-
447, which is more than $4,000 day
in excess of the average daily expendi-
lures during the last five years.
The daily receipts, which in the first
month of the Dingley law, averaged
$629, 794 day, were in February an
average of 81, 020,447 day, while its
customs receipts, which, in the first
month averaged only 1925, 400 a day,
averaged in February, $537, 1S1 day,
an increase of about 140 per cent.
The total receipts during the first
seven months of the Dingley laws
operation were nearly $4,000, 900 in
excess of those of the Wilson law dur
ing the first seven months of it's oper-
alton.
These figures, it should be under

that the legislature will study it, and

exhaustless value of its resources.
We are we'll aware that in some in
stances there are appointed as road
supervisors dishonest and unscrupu-
lous men, but the broad assertion
made by the american that all men
are dishonest when handling public
funds should not be countenanced.

IT IS understood that the Eastern

Croaker, Smith, of New Jersey, and
others, are planning to make Chief
Justice Parker, of New York, the
candidate of the Democratic party
in 1900 to the exclusion of such ex-
IRENE free-silver men as Bryan, Baily,
and other Western and Southern as
pirants for the nomination. Justice
Parker has record as a moderate
silver man, not an extremist, and the
plan of the people who are working
to this end is to shape the nomina-
ton and the platform in way to
relegate the silver question to back
seat upon the platform, though not
entirely out of view, making govern
ment by injunction and other fads of
this sort the cry with which to catch
the popular ear, and emitting the
tariff entirely from the issues to be

Mr.. HIRAM p. TASKER, the special
agent for the locating of unassessed
military lots in Garrett and Allegany
counties, announces that there are
no dividing line between the two
westernmost counties. A bill is pend
ing before the Assembly for the locat-
ing of the bounary, but the Allegany
Commissioners have passed a formal
resolution opposing it. Mr.. Tasker
claims that there upward of $4,000
acres of land in Allegany and 1875, 0OC
acres in Garrett that are not on the
assessment books. The most valu-
able of these lands, he says, lie in the
Georges Creek coal region and along
the boundary line, which has never
been properly serveyed. In fact, Mr..
Tasker charges that in 1872, when
q arrett was cut out of ALE
gany, the surveyors were instructed
by politicians, and the surviving
members of the corps will so testify,
he says, not to attempt to survey the
line upon the ground, else the coal
companies would defeat the new
county scheme at the polls. I'm
der the reassessment in 1896, says Mr.
Tasker, the landowners on the sup
posed eastern (Allegany) side of the
line secured reductions aggregating
$4,000, 900, presumably by taking the
benefit of the doubt as to where the
line should be-" Mr.. Tasker's allega
tions are most serious, and it is hard
to comprehend why the two counties
should have so long and quietly sub
mitted to such a fraud as has existed
if his statements are correct.-Balti
