Europe Must Keep Hands on.

There is Significance in England's
refusal to participate in Europe's
joint offer of mediation between the
United States and Spain which does
not appear Oh the surface. Appar-
emily the initiative in this move
meDL has been taken by France,
which country is understood to have
led in the project to intervene
against the North in the civil war
days. Now, as was the case then.
England's refusual to join in the
movement, blocks the way. Several
considerations, aside from those of
humanity, Which are the only mo-
tiyes tha. are avowed, have prompt
ed the offer of mediation in this in
stance. 1t is likely that the initial
impulse toward mediation originated
in Spain. France has financial
reasons for averting war, because she
holds large part Of Spaines bonds,
which, of course, war would send
downward. Austria, through the
ties of blood between the roy al
families of the two nations, is natnr-
ally anxious to keep Spain out OF
| harm's way, whilc these two
countries and Germany are opposed
to the Monroe doctriue, which would
be strengthened and extended by the
triumph of the United States which
will come If war takes place.
But England has already recogpiz-
ed the validity Of the Monroe doe
trine, and consequently she virtually
declares that the present controversy
has no direct concern for her. In
the Venezulan controversy in 1896
England conceded that the United
States had a paramount interest in
tho affairs OF the western hemisphere
and hence she is not going to place
any distractions, moral or physical
in the way of this country's exercise
of authority in the Cuban question
This is fact of prime Importance il
this crisis. Practically speaking
England always contended until
two years ago that as she was nj

S. w. LiDzy, of Kirbyville, who an
nounces this week as a candidate for
the nomination to the Presiding
Judgeship, is well known to most OF
the voters Of the county. He having
very acceptably filed the chair Of AS
sociate Judge for the Western dis
trict from 1888 to 1890. He is
thoroughly convcrsant with the
county business, experimentally. He
is well known in &. A. r. circles
having been Commander of J. N.

years. At the recent organization
of the Veteran Association Mr.. Linzy
was elected president. He has serv-

Older American power than tn,
United States she had a certai,
right not enjoyed by any other Eu
ropean nation to share, in an indirec
way at least, in the supervision of the
affairs Of this continent. All the
claims which she ever asserted in
| this direction were abandoned wher
she, early in 1896, recognized the
right OF the United States to champ.
ion the cause of Venezuela as against
herself. Thus England indorsed the
Monroe doctrine, and now she pro-
claims the right of the United to ell
force it as against tho rest of the
world
This means that Europe must keep
its hands of in this controversy. The
Cuban affair is primarily an Ameri-
can question, as Secretary of State
Everett, back in the latter part of
Filmore's days, said it was, when
France and England tried to get the
United States to join them in a tri-
partito~ treaty not to attempt the
quest of Cuba and to guarantee Gu
ba to Spain. The United States po-
sition then was that while she would
not disturb Spain in the possession
OF the island SO long as Spain could
hold it, we would not allow any other
European nation to take it CT to have
any voice in it's destiny. That posit-
ion the United States still holds.
The position, however, involves du-
ties for this country now which did
not confront us then. Cuba is virtu-
ally lost to Spain. While the Cubans
have not gained entire independence
and may not be able to gain it except
by United States aid, not the faintest
chance remains that Spain can ever
regain control Of the island. This is
the situation to-day, and England's
refusal to join the other powers
which want to bring pressure Oh the
United States to prevent the eXplns-
ion OF Spain from Cuba is warning
TO the Old World from the greatest
of European nations that tho Cuban
issue is Il purely American affair
which the United States will deal
with in its own time and in its own
way.-G. ID.

encc to the action of the powers Of
, or the Spanish situation. The power,
have taken their action, so far as the
United States is concerned, and moth
ing further is anticipated from thai
quarter.
Mr.. Quesada, the diplomatic repre-
sentative OF the Cuban insurgents in
this city, Was seen this afternoon by
an Associated Press reporter vita re-
gard to the constantly reiterated re.
port from Madrid, that the Queen
Regent might issue an armistice pro-
clamation.
Will Not Accept an Armiticc.
''It is useless for US" SAID Mr.. Que
sada, %o reiterate again for the adj
vantages we naturall possess in the
rainy season. We understand per-
fectly that Spain seeks only delay.
We will have nothing but indcpepd-
ence A matter of fact an armistic
is suspension of hostili;ies to be ar
ranged by opposing generals" Gen.
Bianco and Gen Gomez would have
to agree to an armistice. Does any
one think Gen. Gomez would agree
to suspend hostilities just as we
stand about resdy to win the great
boom for which our people have
fought and struggled so long? Be-
sides who is to take the proposition
for an armistice to Gen. Gomez? The
constitution of the Cuban republic
and the civil law forLids the general
in-chief under penalty to entertain or
receive any offer from the Spanish
lines unless it has for its basis the
independence Of Cuba. Who
is to carry the offer? Tho fate of
Ruiz is warning Of the fate which
would await such an envsy.
NJ. Quesada has a letter from Gen.
Gomez under date of March 9, and
shows how hopeful he is of success,
aud how, even then, he spoke of the
utter futility of attempting negotia-
ions with Spain.
A portion OF the lctter is as fol-
lows: "This province (Santa Clara).
as we'll rs Santiago dc Cuba and

has departed and ccasing military
operations, Abandoned the garrisons

of operations. Days and weeks and
pass without a column Of
troops appearing within our radius
Of action, which is many leagues.
In the condition in which we are il
s my opinion that we need to end
the war quickly, use cannon aud a
great deal of dynamite SO that we can
expel them by fire aud steel from the
towns.
Notwithstanding the opinion of
he optimistics 1 adhere to the idea
that we will never make Spain come
TO terms, but in that manner, and in
that it is loss of time and very
dangerous to enter into any ncgoiia-
lions. We mast fight them vigorous

| ISlas d,
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Today
brought 10 change in the Spanish
situation, and, save unconfirmed re-
ports that the Queen Regent of Spain
was about to isaue decree of arlnis-
tlce, was the most unevcntful since
the present crisis began, and opinion
has almost settled into conviction
that hostilities must certainly follow
very soon. That an nrmistice would
change the situation is regarded as
| now improbable.
There is no doubt that the Spanish
government is seriously considering
| the granting of IL complete armisticc
and ample rclicfto the rcconcentralos
with such rclict and -co-opcration
from the United States rs this gov
ernment may see fit 20 extend. This
proposition; hns been pending for the
last four days, being vigorously urged
by one element in the ministry and
fiercely resisted by another element.
Some of the continental powers have
cast their influence in behalf of the
armistlce, but al actu.l dcci-lon by
the ministry, or the issuance of a
decree, has not resulted MS far us
known here.
When officials of the state depart
1ff
ceivcd no notification that an armis-
tice was determined upon, or was
near at hand. The Spanish minister
was equally without information.
The President aud his advisers pro-
ceeded today on the plans heretofore
determined upon. The message will
be sent to congress Monday, and will
be accompanied by the voIuminous
reports of the United States consuls
stationed in Cuba which have been
accumulating for many months.
During the day the President con-
ferred with number of congress
sional leaders as TO the form of the
resolution to he passed by congress
folio wing the presentation of the mes
sage. Ii is now practically decided
to scprcate Intervention and inde-
pendence.
A resolution will be passed speedily
confined to simple intervention, leav-
ing the question OF independence to
be determined by the subsequent
action of congress. This is III ac-
cordancc with the Presidents ex-
pressed desire.
Active Preparations.
The military and naval prcperat-
ions continued with unabatcd activity
and the strategic experts are formu-
laiing prospective plans of campaign.
| It seems to be the accepted view a.
mong those experts that it will not
| be necessary to extend the campaign
beyond the Island of Cuba. unless
Spain assumes an aggressive attitude,
in which case the operations of the
United states military ana naval
forces will be extended to the Span-
ish possessions of Porto Rico, tic
PHILIPPINES, the Canarics and possibly
Spain itself.
1t is the opinion, however, that the
fighting will not extend far beyond
Cuba and Cuban water, aud after the
United States controls Cuba hostilit-
les would not be prolonged. This
Eview, however, leaves out the fact
that after fighting begins it cannot
be foretold how far it will go and the
government is preparing for any
emergency. Sir Julian Pauncefote
called at the state department late in
the day and this led to the conjunct.
that the powers of Europe were con-
templatibg another move. 1t can be
stated positively that the visit of the
