Gen. Merriam, commander of the depart
rnent of the Columbia, reports to Washing
ton that the Alger reindeer expedition into
Alaska is a complete failure, owing to
various reasons. Many of the animals
have persisted, but it is still possible to
which they were sent and save them Or
ders have been sent for the abandonment
of the expedition and the return of those
army officers who were placed in charge
of it, II is to be hoped that Secretary AL
ger knows more about campaigning in
Cuba than he does about transportation in
Alaska.

Three DAYS of Grace.

The President has given Spain until Sat-
urday to decide whether or not she will
comply with the ultimatum which he sent
her yesterday-the ultimatum being that
she must remove her flag from Cuba. The
reason he granted Spain so much time is,
doubtless, that he has a lingering hope
that Spain will comply with the ultima
tum. He does not want war and would
like to avoid 1t, if it could be avoided with
honor to the country. The people-those
whose good opinion is worth having-do not
think the less of him for trying, by all
honorable means, to keep the country out
of war. He is in position to know what
sacrifices the people will have to make in
order to carry on the war, and what bur-
dens 1t will put upon them without bring
ing them any compromising advantages. 1t
is his duty, therefore, as the nations chief
magistrate, to keep the country out of war
as long as he can do so without any loss
of national honor. Besides, nothing is lost
in giving Spain three days, instead of one
to comply with the ultimatum. She can
not send her fleet across the ocean in three
days. 1t is doubtful if she could do it in
much less than ten days. The fleet can
proceed no faster than the slowest ship.
Therefore, Spain will be no better prepar-
ed 10 defend Havana next Saturday than
she is to-day, while by waiting until Sat
urday Spain may find it to her advantage
to withdraw from Cuba without a war. At
least she will have no ground on which to
claim that the President was so anxious to
involve the two countries in war that he
demanded an answer to his ultimatum in
an unreasonably short time.
The three days of grace will not be vast
ed by our authorities. No doubt there is
much to be done before the preparations
for an attack will be completed. The Pres
ident probably will be criticised for the
delay, but he is in a much better position
than his critics to decide whether or not a
delay of three days, rather than one day,
is advisable.

The Cuban iunta has denied, in emphatic
terms the story that 100000 of Cuban
bonds was recently offered to a man who
controls two influential newspapers if he
would have his papers support the recog-
milton of the Cuban republic. The story
that such an offer had been made went
on to say that the person to whom it was
made had received, also, assurances that
certain banks would pay forty cents on
the dollar for the bonds two weeks after
the recognition of the Cuban republic by
Congress The Chicago Times Herald was
one of the papers which published the
story, and ii asserted that it had reasons
for believing il was true. 1t is understood
that there are large amounts of Cuban
been varously placed. Some of them ara
reported to have been sold for few cents
on the dollar. They are the obligations
of the present so-called republic of Cuba.
Should that government be sustained by
the action of the United States, these
bonds would become of some account, and
some persons would reap immense profits;
would. indeed, get rich. 1t is probably an
unfortunate circumstance that more was
not learned about these Cuban bonds. and
the people who are manipulating them, be-
fore this government placed itself between
Spain and the paper republic in Cuba.

No Monroe Doctrine in 1t.
From the New York Herald Qnd.).


The talk about the Monroe doctrine hav-
ing anything to do with Cuban Intervention
is nonsense.
That doctrine is aimed at and restricted
to any attempt on the part of European
Powers to extend their system of govern
ment to this hemisphere. with the exist
ing colonies or dependencies of any Euro
pean Power" said President Monroe, we
have not interfered and shall not inter-
fere."
Cuban Intervention IL not prompted by
monarchical sovereignty there, but by
misrule. oppression and barbarity-by a
crime at our very doors against civiliza-
ton and humanity. II Spain is driven
from the island IL will be because of Ter
misdeeds and not her form of govern
ment.
To any other existing European sover-
eighty on this side of the Atlantic-in the
absence OF any attempt 20 extend 1.-THE
United States has no objection. IL could
have neither reason nor desire TO inter-
fere with II unless, which is not be ex-
pected, the same necessity for intorVen-
ton should arise as is now presented by
Spanish misrule in Cuba, and i'm that
case the Monroe doctrine would be in no
Sise involved.

The streets are in an extraordinarily I'M
slightly condition. Sidewalks, squares.
roadways and cutters are INSTRUCTED and
Uttered with old rails, pieces of iron
stones. old cross-tes and various other
species of debris. There isn't any oues-
ton with regard to where all of this lit
ter came from. 1t was necessary result
of the general tearing-up, overhauling ana
rebuilding of street car lines, pavements
drainage and the like. 1t is unreasonable
that the streets and squares should be per-
mitged to remain in their present condition
for any length of time. In some instances
the distractions are really dangerous. 1t
is to be hoped that a vigorous campaign
of cleaning up win be inaugurated at once
and pushed until the city assumes It's for
mer air of cleanliness and order. There
are great many wagon and cart drivers
who would be glad to have a Job at re.
moving the litter. Possibly little more
rigid enforcement of the rules against OBJ
structing the streets would have good e.
feet. The authorities have been remark
ably lenient in their treatment of those
who have been tearing up and ots,ruct-
ing the streets.

1t is estimated that Americans spend
fully $50, 600 coo a year in Europe. Some,
who are in a position which makes their
views on this subject valuable, estimate
that the amount is much greater. Owing

atively little money of Americans WILL
therefore, go toward enriching Paris shops

We have spent in Europe for cruisers,
torpedo boats and ammunition several mil
lion dollars during the last month, but the
amount spent in that way is much less
very much less-than summer tourists
would have spent in Europe had there been
no signs of war. While, therefore, for
war vessels and war material some of our
money has gone to Europe, Europe will
be poorer by many millions of dollars than
she would have been had there been no
interruption of American ocean travel.

Notwithstanding the navy department
has only chartered the New York and the
Paris, of the American steamship line, the
names of the craft have been changed to
the Harvard and the Yale respectively. 1t
is a matter of doubt if the department
has a right under the law to change the
names of chartered vessels, but it is I'M
derstood that the owners of the ships
named waived the point, since there was
already one cruiser named New York in
the navy and a second one by the same
name would have caused confusion. Should
the vessels be returned to the company
after the re-establishment of peace they
would resume their former names.

be supplemented by taxes on the Gales

IL is almost chilling to ones blood to
read how the scientific and naval experts
talk about guns. armor, projectiles and
ships. and their possibi..ues in the forth
coming war. Hiram Maxim. the inventor
OF the terrible gun which bears his name,
Is Of the opinion that the monitors will
prove themselves the best fighters in the
service, and that no craft VIII be able 10
survive their fire more than a few min
utes. Lieut.. Zalinski SAYS that when two
first rate fighting craft get into an. engage
ment, it win probably be not more than
fifteen minutes before one of them is
blown up or sunk. Other experts who have
little or nothing to say about the probable
fate of the men on the vessels, are very
anxious to see what effect the thirteen-incn
projectiles will have upon fifteen-inch Har-
veyized armor al the range of a mile The
reader might almost fancy that the experts
really wished to see an evenly matched
light between first-class battle ships for
the sole purpose of judging whether or not

builders would work out in the actual test

that he did his duty manfully in Havana,
but in the performance of that duty he
was called upon to do nothing which
would not have been equally well done by
probably any man in his crew. He simply
did not loose his head, but went about his
business as became an officer in his posi-
ton. 1t may be that Senator Mason's
purpose in introducing the resolution was
to fan the flame of jingoism and get a
