WAR NOT INEVITABLE.

President and Cabinet Still Hope For a
Peaceful Solution of the Crisis.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-At the war
and navy departments there was the
usual stir during the day, but it is alb
solutely untrue to say that either the
president or the cabinet has reached the
conclusion that war is inevitable. All
the leading public men in Washington,
however, appreciate the fact that al
fairs are approaching a crisis, and that
it would be mistake to put Oft prep
aration till the crisis is actually
upon US.
Although the president is believed
to lean very strongly toward the view
that the Maine disaster and interven.
ton shall be treated as one and dis
posed Of jointly, it is but just to say
that some very good friends Of peace
object to such a combination on the
ground that it
Confuses Two Wholly Separate Issues,
questions of international law raised in
the Maine case, and the humanity and
charity which alone could lmpel ou1
government to intervene in the domes'
tic affairs of a friendly power.
These advisers argue that, if the ex-
plosion of the Maine had occurred in
any other than Spanish or Cuban
port, no one would have thought of
com lining this incident with the Gu
ban question.
But the other side answers that,
whether logical or not, the association
of the two subjects does exist in the
public mind, both in this country and
abroad, and that our acceptance of
''blood money" at the present juncture
would be liable to a damaging misin.
depreciation on all sides.

LONDON, March 1.-THE Brazilian
minister con firms the reports that the
warships Amazonas and Admiral Breu
have been sold to the United States
government. The contract is to be
signed, and the Brazilian officers and
crew now on board the Amazonas will
return to Brazil by the next mail
steamer sailing for that country.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The re-
ported sales to the United States of the
two Brazilian cruisers Amazonas and
Admiral Breu, now receiving their fin
fishing touches in an English shipyard,
was confirmed here. 1t is learned also
that Spain has not secured the O'Hig-
gins and that Chill will not sell her to
Spain. 1t is said furthermore, that
Spain has not and cannot purchase
ships from either Chill or the Argen-
tine Republic.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Orders have
been sent to Commodore Howell, COM
manding the European station, to send
a force of men from the San Francisco
to take possession of and hoist the
United States flag upon the Brazilian
ship that is ready to go into commits
sion at Newcastle. This viii prevent
any difficulty in case hostilities should
break out, as the ship would be under
the flag, but lying in friendly harbor.

THE CURSE OF SLAVERY.
fts Effects Visible In the Semiservile Con.
dition of Southern Labor.

tts Effects Visible In the Semiservile Con-
dition of Southern Labor.
The present depression in the cotton
goods market, SO far as it is due to
causes other than the decline in cotton,
is striking illustration Of the evils Of
a low standard of life and of the in
ability Of free raw material and free
trade to build up interstate production
when there is serious difference in
the standards of life. Of course it is i'm.
possible and undesirable to make protec-
ton operative against parts of the same
country whose standards of life are low,
but the fact that the northern cotton in
dustry is depressed among other reasons
on account of the low standard of life
and wages in the south, due to the
heredity Of slavery, against which pro
lection cannot be invoked other than by
education and the evolution of the stand
ard of life, shows what protectionists
have always urged-that while high ma.
tional standards Of wages require tariff
protection against lower national stand.
ards variation in domestic standards
where free raw material and free trade
necessarily prevail must be cured by
education and tho development Of a
homogeneous people.
The southern Bourbons saw that free
education gave the southern masses
what they called "the big head, " and
the aristocrat hates any mass civiliza-
ton that carries growth of social am.
hilton among the plain people. Hence
the Republicans and progressive Demo.
Gratis in the south have urged the inn
portanoe Of expanding industrial, social
and educational ambition and discipline
in the south. Capital makes a grave
mistake in basing it's hopes on the con.
tinuation Of southern social stagnation.
The south is backward, but not stag.
nant. The curse of slavery long outlives
slavery A semiservile population is tt
be uplifted and advanced. Meantime
capital will promote it's own prosperity
by seeking to advance the social ambi'
tion of the southern masses.-Lewiston

PROCTOR SEES M'kINLEY.

The Senator Spends Over Two Hours at
the White House.
WASHINGTON, March Is. - Senator
Proctor visited the White House and
uptown departments during the day
and his calls excited a good deal of
interest. He spent half an hour first
with Secretary Alger, explaining, it is
believed, the military situation in Cuba
and afterward had conference with
Judge Day, assistant secretary of state.
Then he went to the White House and
was closeted with the president for
two hours and a quarter. When he
emerged from the room he courteously
declined to speak regarding the nature
of the information he had communi.
Gated to the president.

SITUATION AT MANILA.
Consul Williams Says the Insurgents
VIII Aid Americans.

LONDON, May 3O.-The Hong-Kong cor
respondent of the Daily Nail says: United
States Consul o. F. Williams, who arrived
here from Manila on board the United
States auxiliary gunboat Zafire Formerly
British merchant steamer) tells me he does
not think Admiral Montejo will be court
martialed, and adds that he does not think
the admiral should be, for he fought brave
ly. Mr. Williams says also that Aguinaldo,
the insurgent leader, has his men at Cavite
in a good state of discipline They are pro-
vided with plenty of rifles and ammunition,
and are expected to do good service for the
Americans in attacking Manila. The Amer
lean troops from San Francisco are expect
ed to arrive there in June.
1.-THE Spaniards are trying to wean the
Philippine rebels from their allegiance to
the Americans. Captain General August
seat two priests to Aguiraldo, promising all
kinds of reforms, including autonomy for
the islands, but the insur gent chief declined
to negotiate with them, reminding them that
the same promises had been made before.
Aguinaldo made prisoners OF two native
Populations from the Manila government.
The Spanish are appointing natives govern
ors of provinces"
The Hong-Kong correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says: Dispatches received
from Manila to-day say that the insurgents.
who are now masSed at CaYlte, are being or
ganized and drilled in anticipation OF an
early land and sea attack upon Manila. The
Americans believe the insurgents will lend
very substantial assistance when the great
fight comes off. The first contingent of
United States troops is expected on June IA.
United States Consul Williams does not dis
cusS the matter, but he is here, and 1t is
understood his mission is to secure supplies
for the squadron and to confer by telegraph
with the Washington government.
The Madrid correspondent or the stand
ard says: According to advices from Ma
Mia, Aguinaldo, the insurgent chief in the
Philippines, has assumed command Of the
rebel forces outside Manila and is coop
Grating with Admiral Dewey in the block
ade which is vigorously enforced: Captain
General August has strengthened the de-
fences towards the bay as well as inland,
The Cabinet crisis which has been threat
ened is averted until the budget has been

QUIET DAY IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES.
Views of Governors as to Recruits
Under the New Call.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Sunday passed
uneventfully In official circles. The Presi-
dent had comparatively quiet day. In con-
formity with his CUSTOM he attended church
in the morning, accompanied by relative
from Canton, now in the city. Secretary
Alger and Adjutant General Corbin were
with him short time during the morning
discussing some matters of military impor-
tance, and Secretary Long also called, but
did not see the chief executive. In the
afternoon the President took drive in the
suburbs.
Secretary Alger, General Miles and some
of their assistants were at the War Depart
ment during the day, and the three assistant
secretaries of state spent some time In their
offices. About twenty Governors of states
and Territories have replied to Secretary
Ayers kilograms asking for their views re-
gardlng the filling of the present volunteer
regiments to their maximum strength be-
fore beginning the formation of new organ
izations. Some of these indicate prefer
ence for the recruiting of entirely new regi-
ments, as under the first call, leaving the
present organizations with the NUMBER OF
men now contained in them, though prac-
amount of troops that are wanted. 1t is the
Presidents desire, however, that the or
CARNATIONS already formed shall be nlled 10
their maximum strength, as the law pro-
vides, and this policy will be carried out IN
recruiting under the second call. The APP
portionment to the States has been made
up. but not yet been given to the public.
Through urgent representations to Secre-
tary Alger some of the States were permit
ted under the first call to furnish greater
number of troops than they were legally
entitled to on tne basis of population Con-
the second call, these inequalities will be
remedied as far as practicable, with the re-
suit that soTae of the States may not be
called on to furnish any of the men needed
This course probably may give rise to dis
content in States where men are anxious to
serve. but II Is regarded as the only lar way
in which to proceed.

COAL FOR THE HARVARD.
The Cruiser Permitted to Take q

KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 2S. p. m
delayed in Enthusiastically United
States auxiliary cruiser Harvard, formerly
the American line steamer New York, has
coaled here The colonial government al
lowed her to take on board $50 Ions of coal,
her full measure, something trifling is
wrong with her steering gear and her boil
ers are dirty. She will be allowed to re-
main here twenty-four hours longer than
usual under the neutrality regulations.
With the exception of medicines, the Har-
ward has not taken on board any supplies.
Captain Cotton, of the Harvard, says that
all were we'll on board the squadron when
he left the vessels under the command of
Commodore Schley yesterday CFriday)
Rear Admiral Sampson was then supposed
to be off the northwest coast of Cuba. Capt.
Cotton adds that he has no direct informa-
ton that Admiral Cervera and his squadron
are in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba, but
he assumes that Commodore Schley has a
reasonable certainty that the Spaniards are
there or he would not be off that harbor
with the American squadron.
Commodore Henderson, commanding tho
British naval station at Port Royal was
asked to-day if he had, as reported, re-
ceived information that Admiral Cervera is
not in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba. The
commodore wrote the following reply: by
the latest news Cervera is still in Santiago
harbor.1
The two vessels reported from Cape
HaitieH as having left Gibraltar yesterday
for Cuba may be the Austrian cruisers
Kaiserin Marie Theresa and Kaiser Franz
Joseph and not two vessels of the Cadiz
fleet of Spain. The Spanish fleet organized
at Cadiz is, according to official Madrid adj
vices, either at CadiZ or maneuvering off
the coast preparatory to sailing for some
destination to be determined on by the gov
eminent.
The utter absence of news from Santiago
de Cuba, which is connected with this place
by cable, is causing more and more aston
ishment as days go by and no MESA Ges are
received in spite of the fact that the cable
is in working order.
The Cuban leader here is wagering that
the war will not last longer than June q.
The Cubans are very enthusiastic over the
idea that the Spanish fleet is bottled up
at Santiago, and they say ii is surely lost.
The United States auxiliary gunboat
Eagle, which has been coaling at Port An.
tonic, sailed to-day for an unknown desti-
nation.
