REFoRMAToRY sPANIARDs.

Spain is not so dead or discouraged that there is no hope left in her. At a large meeting of business men in Ma drid yesterday there was some very definite talk and action. Resolutions were adopted aiming at the improve ment of the economic situation, includ- ing the withdrawal of permission to the Bank of Spain to increase it's note issue by 2,500,000000 pesetas ($5o0 900, ,000) i; the payment of the interest to foreign debt holders in pesetas, and not in francs; large reductions in the public expenditure, including pensions, the closing of the military schools for the next ten years, the reduction of the officers pay, the highest not to exceed 150O0 pesetas ($3,oO0), and vote in aid of the sufferers from the war.
 The business men of Spain have evil dently had enough of inefficient and to- morrow government. Their ideas are radical, but Spain needs radical ideas just now.

 10, THE DISCONTINUED INDIAN,
 Of course the only good Indian is a
 dead one, and of course the sooner all
 the Indians are dead the better off both
 they and the pale-faces will be. But it
 is interesting to notice what seem to be
 the real causes of the present outbreak
 among the Chippewas in northern Min
 nesota It appears that these Indians
 have long been sore" because they be-
 lieve that they have been defrauded in
 the sale of their timber lands. In 1889
 they assented to the Nelson act of con-
 gross by which land in severalty was to
 be allotted to them, while the residue,
 after the allotments, was to be sold for their benefit. The method of sale actu-
 ally employed has caused repeated pro- tests from the Chippewas They claim
 that fraud cannot be prevented under
 the present system. A large amount
 of timber land, they say, has been sold for less than 75 cents a thousand feet, instead of $3 thousand, required by law, owing to the false and fraudulent l estimates of the government apprais-
 CTS. They also complain that the ex- pense of the government appraisal is excessive, work that would have been done for $l0000 by any firm of lumber men having, under government direc- tion, cost the Indians hundreds of thou 1 sands of dollars. Gus H. Beaulieu, an educated Chippewa, points out that the l government appraisers receive $6 per day each, and 1t is charged that they their work, and thereby discontinuing
 a good thing. The estimating corps comprises twenty-five or thirty persons,
 and at $6 per day each. Sundays in- | cluded, the amount they receive in the course of year is in the aggregate a | very large sum, every dollar of which | the Indians must pay. It is also claim | ed that a majority of the government appraisers are wholly incompetent for | their duties, and that they did not
 know spruce from a pine tree when | they first came to the reservations to appraise the timber It is claimed
 that not only the present corps, but all past corps, have been very largely com posed of incompetent persons. Another l expense which the Indians claim they are and have been forced to pay in con- nection with the disposal of their pine l lands is the high salaries allowed the superintendent of logging and his five assistants. These officials receive each | $750 per day The work which they are now doing was, until two years ago, done by two men at $1O0 per month each, and they were employed only dur | ing the logging season. The present | force has been retained all the year round, and therefore the work which | two years ago cost the Indians only l about s1 800 now costs them $15,425. The
 Leech Lake Chippewas further claim | that some of the White Earth mixed | bloods are in league with certain lum- | bermen and government estimators to | rob them.

THE COSTLY CIR EENBAC CkS.

That is an ingenious and somewhat impressive calculatio which was made by MT Horace White in his address to the currency convention at Omaha He figured out that the government has sustained a net loss of $205, PTS, 480 on the $346, GOO, 900 of outstanding green backs. The principal of the bonded
 debt incurred on account of them is
 s362, GOO 00O or $16,O00000 more than their entire sum. The government in 1878 issued S100,0O00O0 of per cents. to get the $100,0 900 of gold required
 as a reserve for the redemption of the
 greenbacks. Interest on this $100,000,
 ! 900 for thirty years is $120, 900, ,000 Later MT. Cleveland had to issue $100,O00,000
 of per cents. and $62315,000 4 per cents, on which interest to maturity will aggregate s122,27S,4 ,480. Four per
 cent. on the last 00000, 900 of bonds for thirty years is another $120, 000,0 900. The total of interest on account of the gfeenbackS IS thus $o6Z, ,4SU- 1T the
 government had issued $946, 100000 of
 per cent. ten-year bonds to redeem the
 greenbacks, the interest on the bonds would haze aggregated S173,000,00O. Deduoting this from the amount paid because the greenbacks were not re- deemed and we arrive at net loss of | S1S9, PTS, ,4SO, to which is to be added
 the S160OO, 900 of excess of bonds issued
 over the total amount of greenbacks, | bringing the total loss, as already
 stated, to $2O5, PTS, 4SO. If the cost of
 printing, engraving, sorting, redeeming,

 added-aggregating about S1,O00,OOO a year-it will appear that the govern

VICTORIOUS METHODIsTs.

The Methodist Episcopal church is
 SO full of life and vigor that it usually has some interesting contest on hand Now the laymen of the Church believe
 that they have won their long fight for
 equal representation in the General
 Conference. The present is the fourth
 assault on the conservatism of the con- ferences and on the preiudices of the clergy. It has been a vigorous cam paign, inaugurated by a convention of laymen in Indianapolis a year ago, and based somewhat on the old taxation and representation idea. The laymen argued that the men who furnished the funds should have a larger part, equal at least to that of the ministers in the management of the institutions sup. ported by those funds. Under the pres" ent Church law no conference is per.
 mitted to have more than two lay del-
 egates in the General Conference, al though it may send an unlimited num-
 Der of ministerial delegates. To amend this law of discipline a three-fourths vote is necessary. Hitherto the propo- sition of the laymen has not received a
 majority of the votes cast. Now the three fourths vote is in sight. When the spring conference closed the amend | ment had IA votes more than the re- quisite three-fourths. The foreign and | fall conferences, including the most | conservative, thus far held have increas- l ed this margin to about six hundred,
 and it is thought that the conferences yet to vote will largely swell the ma | iority

Considerable mercantile importance is attached to the opening of the new harbor at Stettin, which was effected the other day in the presence of the German emperor and empress. The ob- ject of the extensive works of dredging and harbor construction which have just been completed there is to put the leading port of Prussia in a position to compete successfully with the growing prosperity of Hamburg, and to offer ac- commodation for the largest ocean-go- ing steamers. Now that the harbor is finished, the ambition of Stettin is di- rected to the realization of the great scheme of a ship-canal to Berlin in place of the present inadequate Flnow canal, through which only barges can pass. When the canal connecting the Elbe with the Trave is complete Lubeck will become a dangerous rival of Stet- tin for the Berlin trade, and on this ac- count great efforts are being made to promote the Stettin-Berlin ship-canal scheme.

BERLIN, June 11.-Although the the latest war news, coupled with of ficial warnings that such comments were endangering the commercial in- terests of Germany, have compelled the newspapers to modify their ultra pro- Spanish sympathies and some of them are beginning to admit that Spain Is in a perilous condition.
 The Deutsche Zeitung says 1t thinks the moment has arrived for diplomatic intervention in regard to the Philippine Islands and adds: We confidently ex- pect the Foreign Office to act speedily and energetically, as we cannot allow the islands to pass into the hands of America"
 The Vossische Zeitung says: Tn the Philippines Spain's punishment for cen turies of misrule Is imminent. The cruel massacre of the patriot Risal and thousands of agals find a bloody re- compense" The Vossische Zeitung is the first Berlin paper to publish the re- ports of a special correspondent sent to Tampa.
 The Post of this city admits that Spain's affairs have arrived at a criti- cal stage, and says: If, in addition to other misfortunes, the throne is up set by a civil war, Spain would lose all sympathy hitherto felt for her by the Continental powers"

 MADRID, June 1.-The campaign inaugurated by some of the foreign newspapers in favor of peace between Spain and the United States Is not ap- proved here. According to the opinions of several generals, Spain is capable of continuing the war In Cuba for two years, even under the most unfavorable circumstances. Therefore they add, it is useless to talk of peace unless it ap- plies to a return to the statu quo ante bellum.
 The Government, 1t Is added, has not received any suggestions of peace from the powers, and In political circles 1t is declared that if such a suggestion were received the Government would po- litely decline to entertain 1t on the ground that Spain has decided to pur- sue the war to the bitter end.
 Dispatches received here from Cuba announce that yellow fever is ravaging Rear Admiral Sampsons fleet. the province of Santiago de Cuba being, it is claimed, the hotbed of the disease. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the Government was interrogated as to whether the United States had notified the powers of the blockade of Cuba and whether the powers recognized the blockade as effective.
 Duke Almodovar de Rio, the Foreign Minister. replied that since the Paris conference conditions had radically changed, and the powers had not yet decided whether the blockade is effec- tive. The Government, he said. was re- solved to uphold Spains rights. and he added that he did not believe 1t was legitimate for the United States to en- courage the Philippine insurgents as belligerent power.
 Many of the newspapers advocate the keeping at home of Admiral Camara's fleet for the purpose of defending the coast.

CAPE HAYTIEN, June IT, Information has been received here, by way of Port au Prince, that large force of Americans landed yesterday on the shores of Guantanamo, near Caimanera, and cut the cable; that the terminus at that point is in the possession of the Americans and that every effort will be made to reopen communication with New York via Cape Haytien. A force of cable repairers may be sent from Cape Haytien as soon as a steamer can be sent here to take them over.
 WASHINGTON, June IT, The Navy Department was in communication to-day with Ad- miral Sampson off Santiago by cable and by mail, with the result that 1t IS now known officially that the American flag floats over Cuba, and that 1t was raised by United States marines at the mouth of Guantanamo Bay.
 The marines who have thus glorihed themselves were Boo in number. They were obliged to fight for their lives, and in the course of that fight to burn down the town chosen as the site of debarkation.
