CONFEREES SCOMPfdMENTF,D

CONFEREES COMPLdMENTED.
Mr.. Wolcott (Col.), in brief speech,
paid high tribute to the senate con-
ferees. He said 1t had been long
time since bill Of so great impor-
tance as this one had created so little
friction. The report of the conferees,
he thought, was eminently fair and
just and reflected great credit upon
the conferees Of both the senate and
house. ut may be true" said Mr..
Wolcott," as the senator from Arkan-
sas (Mr. Jones) says, that the secre-
tary Of the treasury inadvertently may
have done just what the senator says
he has. The secretary Of the treasury
has done many foolish things. But the
bill SO hedges about the secretary with
conditions that he will be forced to
follow the law" Mr.. Wofcott said he
was satisfied that the people Of the
country would take all the bonds Of
fered by the government. He did not
share in the fear Of Mr.. Jones that
the secretary would place the bonds in
the hands of the big banks and fnan-
cial corporations. The bond section of
the bill provided that the individual
bidders for bonds should first have
their Oids accepted by the secretary.
He was sure the secretary would give
the people ample time and opportunity
to bid for the bonds, and he said sub
scriptions for them would come from
the people of every hamlet of the
United States.
The people Of the country" said
he, will take up these bonds as a.
manifestation Of their patriotism and
their pride in the country"
He was particularly glad that the
provision for the coinage of silver bull

tanned, and I believe. it is generally

objected seriously to the striking out
OF the provision Incorporated by the
senate, and was particularly ANNOYED
because the stamp tax amendment.
which he had offered, had not been re-
tained. In discussing that feature. he
said, after making a sharp comment
upon the action of the conferees:
II was about to say that 1 would paw
those gentlemen back in their own
coin, but I will not say that, for, if I
am ever honored so far-as to be placed
on an important conference committee,
1 shall endeavor to carry out the
wishes Of the senate"
Mr.. Bacon announced his opposition
to the conference report, saying the
bill was even more Objectionable to
him now than when originally before
the senate. Referring to the silver
provision, Mr.. Bacon said it was mere
ly an effort to deceive the country into
the belief that something had been
done in that behalf, as the coinage of

insurgents who came down to the
the mountains.
The debarkation Of supplies was te-
dious, but important.
NEED AMMUNITION.
The insurgents reported that skir-
niishes between their forces and the
Spaniards were of daily occurrence.
The Cubans were hard up for ammu-
milton and supplies, and were overjoyed
at the sight of the Suwanee's cargo.
Some of the most ravenous hacked at
the slices Of bacon and ate raw beef.
They had been living on lines, cocoa
nuts and sweet potatoes. Ensign Gill
pin, of the Suwanee, went ashore and
accompanied the Cubans to their tenn
porary camp, inland, where he found
ten or a dozen wounded badly in need
of surgical assistance. Bandages for
them were sent from the Suwanee The
casualties were the result of a brush
on the previous night with Spanish
cavalry.
To the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press on the dispatch boat
Wanda, Ensign Gilpin, describing mis-
experience at the camp, which is
about ten miles inland, said:
SPANISH DESERTERS.
IT found the insurgents a rough
looking and mixed lot of boys and old
men, rigged out any way, carrying
arms of all sorts, and all anxious to
borrow everything I had from my
blouse to my revolver. Four Spanish
soldiers IN uniform, carrying rifles.
marched into the camp while 1 was
there and said they wanted to join
the insurgents. They were enrolled,
but a close watch was kept On them,
as they belonged to the civil guard.
"a Cuban officer told me such addi-
tions were not infrequent The Span
iards had Mauser rifles, which were in
fairly good condition."
Conservative authorities believe the
United States troops will have to carry
out their plan of campaign without
placing much reliance upon the insur-
gents. Several plucky young officers
like Ensign Gilpin have made trips
ashore and taken observations of the
interior harbor and the Notifications,
locating the exact positions of Admiral
Cervera's four ships. 1t is harly like
ly, however, that the Spanish admiral
keeps them moored at the same plac
both day and night. More than once
the officers engaged in this shore duty
have had narrow escapes from falling,

Special to The st. Paul Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-There were
all sorts of rnn,ors af1oat here today
with reference to the Whereabouts of
the invading force of American troops
presumed to have sailed from Tampa
for Santiago. AT the war department
1t is said special orders have been is
sued, with the understanding that they
are directed by Secretary Alger, which
prohibit any one officially connected
with the department from discussing
the movements of the troops from Tam
pa or from any other point. The war
secretary has admitted that the troops
went aboard the transports, but there
he stops. He positively refused to say
whether they have sailed or are about
TO sail. The general opinion in well
posted circles is, however, that this
secrecy Is part of the programme and
that the troops are proceeding to San
tiago as rapidly as they can be carried
there by the transports. 1t is added
that after they have conquered the
province of Santiago, a sufficient force
to hold the place will be left there and
the remainder, accompanied by Admiral
SIMPSONS squadron, will proceed to
Porto Rico. This is taken 90 indicate
that Blanco will be permitted to enjoy
short rations in Havana for a con-
siderable period.
THOSE MYSTERIOUS SHIPS.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the rumored arrival in Cuban waters
OF several mysterious warships, pre-
sumably. there for the purpose of at
tacking American transports on their
way to Cuba, caused no little uneasi-
ness in official circles here. The rumors
rather corroborated information rece.v-
ed at the war and navy departments
to the effect that several Spanish war
ships had left Barcelona, 1t was thought
for Cuban waters. It is now known
that the government at once determin-
ed to take no chances, and promptly
arranged for the conveying of the fleet
of transports from Tampa to Cuba by
q formidable array of battleships and
gunboats, headed by the powerful In

SAN DIEGO, Cal, June 10-The
United States ship Monterey and her
coal consort, the Brutus, supposed to be
speeding on their way towards Homo
lulu and Manila, were sighted at noon
today, steaming south towards San
Diego at a good rate of speed, the Mon

harbor at D. M, and separated, the
Brutus going about five miles south
and anchoring near Coronado island,
while the Monterey came in rapidly and
dropped her anchor
A cutter, in which were Paymaster
Rogers and an ensign, came ashore as
soon as the boat could be launched, and
Paymaster Rogers stated briefly that
they had simply come In here for coal
and water and would sail tomorrow aft

WASHINGTON, June 10. - Reports
from Madrid that Spain, through the
minister Of foreign affairs, Count AL
modevar de Rio, had taken formal
steps toward securing peace, have not
been made apparent by any action IN
Washington up to this time. There
has been no proposition for peace !or
for an armistice, nor has there even
been an entering wedge Of inquiry as
to how such proposition would be ac-
cepted.
The Madrid reports stated that the
Spanish ambassador to Austria had
been instructed to seek the good offices
Of Austria in bringing forward peace
propositions. But if this be true the
Austrian minister, Mr.. Won HengelInIl-
Ter, has not conveyed to the state de-
partment any indications that Austria
Is ready to act. On the contrary Mr..
Won Hengelmuller does not believe that
his services will be required here in
the near future, as he leaves next
Tuesday for New London, Conn.,, TAX

vacation.
At the same time the prospects Of
peace continued to be discussed in
diplomatic circles, and it is known that
at least one Of the great powers of
Europe stands ready to act as peace
mediator in case the United States will
make a suggestion that such move
ment would not meet with disfavor.
One of the most influential members Of
the diplomatic corps, the ambassador
Of a continental power, said tonight
concerning peace possibilities:
There will be no offer of mediation
from outside. Such a movement, If it
comes at all, should come at the sug-
gestion of the United States that it

between himself and other members
Of the cabinet.
Il believe" he said, that our in
terests are much more closely allied to
the interests of Germany than to those
OF Russia. The cabinet is not respon-
sible for every single word uttered by
its members, but it is responsible for

important statement of fact It there

would have been my duty to resign.

he said, "it will be impossible to de-
fend the independence of China against
inroads." Repeating the leading feat
ures Of his Birmingham speech, Mr..
Chamberlain declared:
If 1t become known that we were
willing to consider alliances, it is not
unlikely that advances would be made
to us. A mutual understanding with
one of the great powers would save a
very large addition to the navy"
In concluding, he referred to the "im-
portance OF close understanding with
America" adding: I'm my opinion, on
such matter, the United States would
not listen to the Irish VOTE"
But whether England or America, he
said, he hoped it would be found that
blood Is thicker than water, and, with
out desiring to force either nation to
enter into an alliance with which a
majority of both peoples did not thor
oughly sympathize, he would repeat
his conviction that the closer, the more
defined and the cleaner the alliance be-
tween the United States and England
the better 1t would be for both nations
and for civilization

The Hawaiian Boomerang.

When the first rumors Of threatened
hostilities between the United States
and Spain began to circulate they were
hailed by the friends Of Hawaiian an
neXation as a godsend to their cause.
They were quick to seize upon this, as
they had been upon everything else
that might possibly happen, and at
tempt to twist 1t to their advantage.
They declared instantly, as they had
in the case of Russian and German oc-
cupation of China, that, in case Of at
tack, the possession Of Hawaii was an
Indispensable part of the protection Of
our Western seacoast. They warbled
this song early and late. but it did not
push their treaty through. On the con-
trary, the progress of actual prepara-
ton for repellng a possible attack has
demonstrated more and more complete
ly each day what detriment 1t would
be to us at the present moment if Ha-
wall were actually part of the Unit
ed States.
Look at the disposition Of our fleet.
We have not now vessels enough to
go around. The main squadron is in
the vicinity Of Key West, with enough
ships at the more important ports of
the Eastern seaboard to offer assistance
in case they were assailed. Suppose
now that in this distribution Of our
naval resources, we had also to guard
these islands 1000 miles out in the Pa
cific. If they were ours, we could pro-
tect them against a foe only by a
mighty navy. They could not be so
fortified as to defend themselves, and
Gordon of men, f-war about them
would be the only salvation for our
honor. Instead of using our ships to.
defend the Atlantic seacoast, we would
have to send the entire squadron TO
the Pacific coast. 1t would be just as
great an insult to us, and as great an
injury in the eyes of the world, if a hos
tile power were to take and hold Ha-
wall, were it part of our domain, as
would be the occupation of Boston or
Philadelphia. No military or naval
man with sound sense can deny that
our present situation is immensely
lightened and relieved by the failure
of the Hawaiian treaty. What is true
now is true always, only it happens
that existing circumstances bring the
force of it plainly to the surface. The
argument that possession Of Hawaii is
necessary to defend our commerce"
has been transformed into a formula
bic boomerang by the practical evil
denceS of the last three weeks.

The Graduating Age.

Eastern papers have been discussing
the causes that make the average age
of college graduates twenty three
years, insisting that this is at least
three years too great. If a professional
course follows, the young man is twen-
ty-seven before he can begin the slow
and difficult process of building up
practice, and he is considerably past
the half way point of his three score
years before he can think of taking on
the duties and responsibilities of FAM
lily life. If he goes into trade, the same
results follow. Meanwhile he sees his
classmates Of the grade schools, who
went into trade on graduation, estab-
lished in business at a time when he IS
still plodding through the curriculum
Thus the question reaches out and
touches that vital portion Of the state
the home and family.
The blame is laid too much with the
upper schools, their curricula, and the
time demanded by the technical
schools. In reality there is gain as we'll
as loss in the change; for no young
man should go out to make his way into
the world without some maturity. But
so far as the tendency is undesirable,
the real fault is at the foundation,
the graded schools, and not in
them as schools, but in their
system. The great impeachment is the
grade method with it's s1ock-step.
