WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Secretary
Gonzales Queseda of the Cuban dele
cation to-day gave out several docu-
ments relating to Cuban affairs. They
include a letter written by General
Miles while in Porto Rico to General
Nunez, which Mr.. Quesada regards as
a tribute from the commanding Cen
eral of the army to the Generals serv-
ing in the Cuban army and the Cubans
at Santiago. The letter is as follows:
Ponce, Porto Rico, August II, 1898.
General Emilio Nunez, Cuban Lega-
ton, Washington, d. C.-My Dear Cen
eral: / have received your very inter-
esting letter of July I'd, and am glad
to know that the expedition proved sue
ceSsful, and that the necessities of Gen

ulate you on the cessation of hosrilities
and the prospect of the successful term
ination of the struggle Of your country
men for their liberties.
Il met General Garcia very pleas
antly, but was so much occupied that
l did not have time to talk with him
as I wanted to do. After we had Sc
cured the surrender of the Spanish
troops, 1 Immediately went away, as

Rico as soon as possible, and was
deeply engaged in moving the trans
ports with troops to this place. 1 deep
" regretted not seeing more Of Cen
eral Garcia, as l wished to thank him
again for the good service he and those
under his command had rendered.
Please send him copy of this at your
first opportunity.
Hoping to meet you personally again
in the near future, l am very truly
yours, NELSON A MILES
Mr.. Quesada has received the follow
ing proclamation of amnesty issued by
the Cuban authorities at Camaguey:
THE Government council in to-day's
session ordered:
Whereas, Hostilities have been sus-
pended orders which hinder the
movements of those charged with
bringing about peace should not be en-
forced when the independence of Cuba
has already been recognized by Spain
and the United States.
Whereas, In such circumstances it

San Francisco, Sept. 14th.
The Wheat market is steady and quiet
at unchanged prices; cables are quiet
Eastern markets are firm, but dull; to-
days receipts were all from the North.
Spot Barley is not Offering very freely
and the market is quite steady; arrivals
were 1870 centals, half of which came
from Oregon and Washington. No
changes in Oats and Corn; both are quiet
no Corn arrived: Oats are coming in more
freely. Rye has been weak and neglected
for long time.
To-day's Hay receipts were nearly 400
tons, but beyond a softness the market
is not affected; in fact, some choice Oat
sold higher; with the close of the month
there will probably be very little Hay in
the country. Bran and Middlings are
easy.
AS rule the fruit market is quite
steady. Strawberries are weak and
lower; receipts are not heavier, But the
demand is lacking; some poor Raspber-
ries sold lower; good Blackberries are in
limited supply Not enough Nectarines
here to quote. Fancy Pears in bulk for
Gamers use are higher; dealers predict
500 per ton in a few days No further
arrivals of wine Grapes; those received
yesterday brought $15 a ton.
Eggs are in good demand and receipts
are light. Butter and Cheese are firm
with light stocks

fLECTRIFYING THE JAMES.

For wears we dreamed that some DAY
the falls of the James river at Richmond
would be "electrifed' and that the water
power going to waste would be uu-
lized by manufacturers. Now that dream
IS soon to be materialized. Careful and
elaborate surveys of the river have been
made and plans devised to put its power
IN the best use. All the capital needed
has been subscribed-yes, largely over
subscribed.
What is likewise very cheering is that
hundreds of thousands OF dollars or TINS
money will be furnished by Richmond
ers. Thus do we give TO the world sub
stantial evidence of the faith we have IN
the scheme and in the men who have
charge of it.
Richmond's prospects have been i'm
proving rapidly of late, but this enter
mise raises our hopes and expectations
higher than any ever before undertaken
OF course, there are many details Oh inc
scheme that are yet TO be settled put
the crucial work has been done, thanks
IN the energetic and enterprising gentle
men who have taken the lead in this
matter. The old Haxall Mills property
will serve as the basis of the company
operations at the beginning.
one great advantage OF electrical power
in developing new enterprises is that the
investor may go anywhere in the city
n find a site for his mill or factory. He
Z a
need not buy lot on the river or Oh 'he
canal. He can go wherever lots are cheap
est and most convenient. And then tha'
electrical power is to be the power OF the
future there can be no doubt.
In view Of the enterprise displayed mere
of late. and the encouragement we are
receiving from every direction, we have
cause, to be proud of our city and conn
dent as TO its future. Better times are
ahead for the community.

POLICY AND PRECEDENT.

The Philadelphia Press says that, ike
Jefferson. when Louisiana had peen pur-
chased. President Mckinley lays before
Congress a new problem for which none
but the most general provision has been
made in the fundamental law OF the ma
tion. But. continues the Press, in the
century which has passed since Congress
nrovided a new government for Louisiana,
nolicv and precedent have made clear the
path Of the nation.
Yes. policy and precedent make clear
the path of the nation, but that path Is
not in the direction the Press would have
the nation travel.
our Philadelphia contemporary affords
another illustration of the fact that when
the Imperialists appeal to history they
prove too much for their own cause. The
programme of Mr.. Mckinley and his cabal
of expansionists is antagonized at every
point by policy and precedent. The policy
of avoidance of entangling alliances, first
enunciated by Washington, endorsed by
jefferson and Adams, and formulated
into a cardinal principle by Monroe, who
was sent by Jefferson to France as Min
lister Extraordinary, to cooperate with
Minister Livingston in the matter OF the
purchase. of Louisiana, was in no wise
contravened by that purchase. The pre-
cedent established by the Louisiana an
nexation was entirely in harmony with
that policy, but nothing could be more
entirely out of harmony with 1t than the
annexation of the Philippines. Hence 1t
follows that, as the Louisiana case was
the precedent for our century of expan-
son," there is no precedent for the pro-
position Of the Imperialists. If Congress
is to solve 1.-The problem" so as TO con-
summate the designs Of Mr.. Mckinley
and his advisers, 1T must cut loose from
policy and precedent.
