Cuba but whether she resents interven-
ton or not the United States must per-
form a plain duty.
"Our own interests justify interVen-
ton. Spain has governed Cuba so bad
ly as to excite continuous revolt, and
after exciting revolt has shown herself
powerless to restore order and enforce
law upon the island.
Spanish rule in Cuba has disturbed
the United States, interfered with bus
mess, Increased the expense of guard
ing our shores, and drawn upon the re-
sources of our people to care for those
made destitute by war
1--WE have as much right to demand
the cessation of war in the interest of
the people of the United States as
Spain to demand it's continuance for her
own benefit.
IF the question is to be settled upon
the basis of human rights, surely our
people have waited long enough; if, on
the other hand, pecuniary interests are
to be considered then it must be re-
membered that the loss suffered by the
United States and Cuba together, far
exceeds any gain which Spain could
reasonably expect to secure even if she
had a hope of recovering Cuba by force
of arms.
Spain has only herself to blame for
the condition of affairs in Cuba. If she
denies to her former subjects the rights
of war and calls the Cuban army
mob, let her remember the words of
Victor Hugo: The mob is the human
race in misery No nation can afford
to make its people miserable.
"If the CubanS prefer death to Span
ish rule it must be Spanish rule has
robbed life of joy and hope. If ma
ton -sows the wind it must reap the
whirlwind.''

New York: Wall street continues to be
Influenced by rumors. Spectators buy or
sell according as the reports incline to an
amicable outcome of the Spanish-Ameri-
can negotiations or otherwise. Hence we
have ''see-Saw'' market. Yet it is not a
market which traders thoroughly enjoy.
1t is too erratic to permit much success
that commission houses are inclined to
advise small traders to keep near shore.
1t is impossible to estimate beforehand
the effect which any given rumor will
have upon trading sentiment. Any pos
sfble diplomatic escape from the horrors
of war would be welcomed by the fan
ancial community. The furry in the call
loan market yesterday was incidental to
preparations for the quarterly settlements
in April. The United States continues to
a complete subsistence in a short time of
fears OF war it may be wise for the street
to expect somewhat dearer prices for
money. United States bonds again ad-
vanced, although their previous rise this
week had been considerable. On the
contrary there was severe break in
Spanish As abroad and their net decline
was considerable, Notwithstanding a good
rally from the lowest points. At the

According to reports received by her

William c. Whitney. who was injured
several weeks ago, while riding to
hounds at Aiken, S. c., is very serious.
Ever since that time Mrs. Whitney
has been paralyZed.
Letters from Aiken and returning
friends have told society what the pub

so light that Mr.. Whitney is disheart-

Plans to remove Mrs. Whitney to New

weak to bear the strain of the journey.
Now it is said an attempt to bring her

Mr.. Dan Cain Assumes His Duties as
Chief Clerk to ]. ]. Frey.

Mr.. Dan Cain today sewers his con-
nection with the mechanical depart
ment of the Santa Fe, and assumes the
duties of chief clerk in the office of
General Manager Frey. Mr.. Cain has
been connected with the mechanical de-
partment in the capacity of chief clerk
for number of years, and probably
understands more of the details of the
work of that department than any 9TH

succeeded by Mr.. w. c. Peyton, form
erly chief clerk of the division mechan-
ical office at FIT. Madison.
Mr.. Cain practically succeeds Mr. B.

eight years. Mr.. Lewis came to Topeka
from Chicago at the request of Mr. A

the amount was assessed as a fine.
George Bayless, manager of the tele-

probably be reduced. The usual fine
for riding on the sidewalk is $S. The
lowest fine is 81.
