Dubuque, Ia, Sept. 2.-The republic.
an state convention yesterday was an
enthusiastic affair, the state ticket,
headed by George L. Dobson for secre.
tary of state, being named by acclama-
ton. There was some disappointment
over the failure of the platform to en-
phatically declare for the holding and
control of all conquered territory, but
the delegates were thoroughly con-
WINGED that what had been done was
practically the voice of the national
government and so were contented.

SPAIN MUST YIELD ALL.
The Only Way BOstilitfes Can Now

.&EHs be AVerted.
Washington, April 6.-The Washing
ton Post says that unless Spain, with
ID Tort eight hours, yields all, by sur
rendering Cuba, war cannot be avert
ed. 1t sums up the situation as fol-
lows:
President McKjnley's message to
congress will be a ringing vigorous
document that promises to meet the
full expectation of congress and the
country. 1t will be a scathinr arraipn-
ment Of Spain, showing that she has
demonstrated her utter incapacity to
govern; that her colonies have declined
IN population as the result of roisrule
and oppression; that American COM
merce has been damaged and Ameri-
can lives and property imperilled and
that existing conditions should not and
VIII not be tolerated by this govern
ment. The destruction of the battle
snip Maine and the slaughter of 26G
OHlcerS anG seamen serving under the
united States flag will be commented
upon in strong language, and Spain
will be held responsible for that dis
aster. The presidents message will be
equivalent to declaration of war and
hostllities can only be averted by Spain
now yielding ALE
Pope Leo is mediating between Spain
and Cuba. The efforts of the pope
have already resulted in an appeal
from Spain to the insurgents, through
the autonomist cabinet, for an armis-
tlce pending an agreement for peace
and independence. 1t is learned that
the pope has represented to Spain that
it is tie part Of wisdom to make every
possible concession, even to surrender
ing the island absolutely, rather than
go to War with tic United States,
which would inevitably result in the
loss of Cuba and other Spanish colo
MES and at the same time endanger the
dynasty.
The United States has ceased all ne
gotiations and will not accept media
ton. The administration and congress
see no alternative but war.

STEP TOWARD PEACE.
Spain Said to Have Accented Prop

Spain Said to Have Accented a Prop
osition From the Pope.
st. Paul, April 6. - The New York
TIerald's special cable to the Pioneer
Press from Madrid says:
l have absolute authority for saying
that the government has accepted a
proposition which is a step toward
peace. Gen. Woodford is satisfied
with Spain's reply. There was a meet
ing yesterday morning in which all the
ministers were present and the decis-
ion arrived at was to take a peaceful
view. 1t was yesterday morning that
the queen regent summoned her min
listers, Seniors Sagasta, Gullon and
Moret, and Informed them that the
pope had offered mediation and ad-
vised that Spain should at once grant
an armistice, as requested by the
United States, thus ending the ques-
ton of peace or war in favor Of peace.
In the afternoon the Austrian ambaS-
sador called and gave his assurance
that he would guarantee that Spain
would carry out her portion Of the con-
tract. which is to do everything in her
power to restore harmony in Cuba dur
ing the time the armistice lasted. The
Spanish government has been afraid
to grant an arnlistice on account OF the
army, but the pope advises the army
as a father and bids it cease fighting.
Spain only asks one thing in return.
That is that the United States should
meet her halfway by simultaneously
withdrawing her warships in Cuban
waters. Thus, in this extraordinary
series of diplomatic changes the door
Of peace is once more wide open, the
Spaniards assert, and the Cuban ques
ton can be s9lved with peace and
honor.

RELIEF IS A FARCE.

Concentrates WHO Must Shortly Die.
Washington, April g. Rev. Eugene

port of the condition of the island diff
fers in no essential detail from that Of
Senators Proctor, Thurston, Gallinger
ard others who have recently spoken
and written on the subject. Dr.. May
says in addition:
1.-THE recent revocation of the recon-
centrado order is a farce, as the people
to whom it applies are too i'll to work,
and have nothing with which to start,
and no strength. Blanks have been is
sued which are to be filed out with
acquisitions for whatever they need
and sent to Havana. The mockery Of
it is that the farce ends with the send
ing Of the blanks. Nothing more is:
ever heard Of them. The relief work
is going forward rapidly in 210 towns,
but there are between $4,000 and no.
600 reconcentrados who must die,
however generous the relief, for they
are beyond help"
