interpreter of the warm wishes of the
government of the mother country, ad-
dresses itself to the Cubans who are
in the field, fighting to attain what in
reality has been a~ttained-the triumph
of right n justice, with perfect assur-
nce of future improvement and for the
orderly and rising development of all
the resources and elements of society.
Let the noise of arms cease, let us
shake hands. Let us embrace each
other warmly as brothers of the Cuban
country, regenerated by sacrifice. Let
us work unitedly to make the Cuban
people great, powerful, prosperous. Let
us, we IONS of Cuba. come to a frank
and loyal understanding to deliberate
calmly n resolve rightly on the best
to reach by common accord
Peace without dishonor to any one, and
with honor for all. Let us suspend
hostilities i'm order to hear the voice of
patriotism between brothers equally in

A NIGHT CABINET MEETING.


The Message IL Diseased asd All the
Members Agree 10 IL.
Washington. April z-The president
has completed his Cuban message and
IL will be presented to congress on
Wednesday. Secretary Long. AFTER the
special cabinet meeting tonight. au-
thorized the associated press to make
this statement.
The message. which in itself, Is long.
will not be accompanied by the consular
reports dealing with the state OF anairs
in Cuba. These will go to the commit
tee on foreign relations Of the senate
for its private information VIII not
be made public just now. The oipio-
matte correspondence between the
United States and Spain will not be
submitted at present. n capinet
meeting lasted from 8 until IL o'ciock
n was devoted entirely to the care
full reading and discussion OF the presi-
dents draft Of his message. Every
member of the cabinet was present.
The document was gone over point by
point and met with the approval Of the
cabinet in every detail. The only
changes made were in q few points OF
verbiage. When the meeting was over
and the members dispersed thr was a
gneral air of relief and satisfaction on
all faces. as though the air had been
cleared of doubt and the members
ly resolved IN what they deemed the
proper course Of action. The
evidently was over.
Secretary Long apparently had peen

to the character of the message ne re-
fused to speok. Ii was learned from other
sources, however. that the message Is In
part a review of SPANS course In the
present and previous wars in Cuba. That

tions may be inferred from the remark OF
one member: while l can say nothing
explicit concerning the details of the
message" said he. II may say that 1t Is
a strong explicit statement and one with
which g IS will be thoroughly in ac-
cord"
1t was suggested that congress was
pretty thoroughly I'm accord with the
Foraker resolution, but nothing more ex-
p,icit could be obtained.
1t is understood that while the consular
reports on Cuba are withheld from the
public for the present out of regard for
their authors, who are still in Cuba, their
ublic tion Is not deemed essential by
the cabinet. One member. in discussing
this point. said: They contain onl infor-
nation which has by this time been quite
thoroughly presented to the public from
other sources"
From the fact that the diplomatic cor

message 1t is inferred that its main fea-
lures are touched on i'm the message itself.
whether i'm the form of extracts or merely
in substance.
The fact that the autonomist cabinet OF
Cub has issued an appeal to the insur-
gents for an armistice. with the idea OF
arranging peace. Is regarded here by the
best informed members of the administra
ton to be simply a covert effort to induce
the Cubans To surrender. 1t is not taker
seriously. as the opinion is general thai
the insurgents will consider nothing OF
the kind.

T appears that Pope Leo has become
interested in some OF the phases OF

war and would spare bloodshed. II is

world.
As to what the courts In Europe may
agree TO. there is no guessing; the safe
assumption is that they will not easily
agree to anything-to all appearance.
the swing Of the Cuban question around
the circle Of the courts got its impulse
from France and Austria. and there1l
be differences. As for Pope Leo's awak-
ened interest, 1t is simply to be re-
marked that this butchery business In
Cuba has been going on a long time. a
very Ions time. II IN possible that the
pope's earlier solicitude respecting ii
would have caused Spain to stop the
savage business before this country's
quickened conscience made itself felt.
OF course, there is recognized pro-
priety in the effort Of h pope to bring
about a r~econciliation between Cuba
md Spain; that IL a process about

The essential feature in the situation

independence Must Re Recognised.

Washington. April 4-Senor Queseda,
representing the Cuban junta in Wash
ington. said to the Associated Press to-
day: The Cubans will never consent
to an armistice until their independence
is recognized. Until that time they will
not cease fighting. When independence
is recognized the Cubans will consent
to an armistice for the settlement of
conditions in the island. This state
ment is mad in reply to a query as to
what the Cubans would do with re-
gard to the recent appeal of the Cuban
autonomist cabinet"

Mr.. Balfour. Mr.. Chaplin n other
cabinet members who are accounted for

the bankers policy controls a ministry
respecting which Senator wolcott and

ference commission. he mildly intimated
that. i'm spite of his failure to get a
friendly expression. he still dared to
predict that something good for silver
would come out of the cabinet at Lon
don. II Mr.. wolcott was sincere i'm this
prediction he must admit now that he
was very badly mistaken-somebody in
London fooled him.
The conclusion reached by the Brit

KNOWING ones say that cotton
has touched bottom figures for the
present; that should the price go
lower the planters would be unable
to obtain fertilizers for the next
crop, and this would have a ten
dency to bring about a reaction in
anticipation of a short crop next
year. Thus the price is forced
down just as low as conditions will
allow, regardless of production or
demand. The spectators control
the market and bear or bull it just
as they wish.

Maj. SAVERS, Democratic nomi
nee for governor of Texas, in a re-
cent speech said that the lands of
Texas, including town and city
lots, pay more than three -fourths
of the taxes of the state assessed.
The state comptroller's report for
1897 shows that the entire amount
of money assessed in Texas for
taxes was only $14, 127, $50, while
the report of the comptroller of
the currency of the United States
shows that at the very time that
assessment was made there was
more than 81 900, 900 in the ma
tional banks of Texas. If the facts
were published this is the way the
record would show up all over the
country. The wealth of the country.
instead of bearing the burdens of
taxation, escapes it almost entirely.
1t is the smaller property owners
everywhere who bear the burdens
of taxation.

THE forest fires in Wisconsin
are causing great loss of property
and lives. One hundred persons
are missing. Many dead bodies
have been found, and they were
burned beyond recognition. Hun
dreds are homeless. Men and
horses plunge into creeks, rivers
and lakes to save their lives. The
fires travel with the speed of the
winds, leaping forty and fifty feet.
All the cattle, horses and other
stock in a large district have been
burned to death. Even the wild
animals could not escape the
flames.
