Deep gloom appears to have settled down
upon some Of the erstwhile promoters Of
Fiesta frivolities and
No Fiesta This the convivialities ap-
Year may be accepted as
settled fact that
there will be no Fiesta for Los Angeles in
this year of grace. The subscriptions have
not been forthcoming. Transportation
companies have been shy. 1t has been
argued that the celebration cannot now
do any good in the line of its chief object,
that of attracting immigration, seeing that
the time is past for advertising. 1t Is too
late to construct new floats, and to have
the Fiesta dwindle to mere trades dis
play would be misfortune. Besides. there
is disposition to remove the handling of
the details and management of the affair
from the control of any clique, and to
place 1t on such basis that some people
outside of the elect "20l'' may have voice
in the arrangements. There will be mourn
ing among the maidens and discomfort in
the breast Of many fond youth at lost
opportunities for the display of brave ap-
parel and rare accomplishments at the
ball. the parade and the gay procession.
Some would-be knights will have to walt
another year for the accolade they are
ready to work for, and peace will prevail
in the street, instead of revelry, in the COM
ing month of April.

Mr.. Gage nonchalantly comedies that
a paper currency cannot be maintained
on a parity with gold unless the specie
is on hand for its redemption, but vol
unteers no suggestion as to where the
necessary specie is to come from. The
fact that the worlds stock remains prac-
tically stationary, while one nation after
another rejects the use of silver as
money metal. adding to the burdens
which gold must bear, does not seem to
disturb his convictions or his policy that
this country should more actively en-
gage in the struggle for possession of the
visible supply. Even the progress of
India, with it's four hundred millions of
people. toward gold monometallism,
with the prospective demand it will Gre
ate for half the gold in existence, is a
circumstance that is abortive in moving
the great financier from his groove.
A scene of great excitement was wit
messed in the house yesterday when
Dearmond of Missouri offered, as rider
to an appropriation bill, resolution
declaring the belligerency of the Cuban
insurgents, and appealing to the friends
of the Cubans to break away from the
rules and adopt it without delay. Mr..
Bailey added fuel to the flames by chal-
lenglng the foreign affairs committee to
deny that it was not the program to pre-
vent vote upon the question. Chair
man Hit, without replying to the accu-
sation, fell back upon his privilege of
calling the Texan to order, which closed
the incident. 1t serves to indicate the
intensity of feeling among the friends
of Cuba libre in the house and of their
growing restiveness under the applica-
ton of the rules.

peror of Austria to exert his influence

efforts to reStrOe am1cable relations be

The queen laid special stress on the
necessity of maintaining the peace Of
Europe and securing an entrente of
h European mOnarchs against repub-
lican, aggressive America and on the
affinity of her dynasty with the Haps-
burgs. 1t is understood that Emperor

queen cautiously and conServatively,

preached Germany and Austria with
the view OF obtaining assurance that
they, in the event of war, you'd assist
Spain in some way or the other.

conference on Wednesday last with the
minister for foreign affairs, Baron Won

that while Germany earnestly desired

same answer from ViennGa and Paris.

Suppose They Disagree.

Is the war with Spain ended? On
the possible complications, the Hous-
ton Post says: Suppose the COM
missioncrs disagree and deadlock
results, as is likely? Who will set
tie the matter? If we insist upon
our contention and it is resisted
through foreign plotting, will we
not have to declare the armistice
at an end and begin over again?
Rather than do that will the Amer
leans make special concessions? If
we insist upon keeping Manila or
the whole island of Luzon and
Europe objects, what are we going
to dc about it? 1t is unfortunate
that the administration did not
know its own mind as to the Philip
pines when the protocol was drawn.
1t would have saved time and pos
sibly trouble to have formulated
our full demands in the first
instance. AS it it, this country
need not be surprised if further
complications arise to plague us be-
fore peace is finally secured and the
war thing of the past.

deck Of the Texas Yesterday when

whole library, said the Commodore.
Recovered them?" exclaimed the
man. "Why, l thought it fell or
was thrown overheard at Santiago.
Did the divers bring it up again.

said the Commodore, seriously.
"There are several thousand, you
know, and the divers had 10 fight
with several schools of fishes, who
wanted the books, l guess, in their
business. Yes they all are right
over there in the warehouse now,
and they look as though they had
meyer been in the water.
"It was an exciting moment,
continued the Commodore. "Igrab-
bed Shakespeare, in several vol
umes, and threw him over. Trilby
went down feet first, and the only
thing that hoated long was an
edition de luxe of Laura Jean Lib
bey. OF course we didn't throw
the Bibles overheard, They were
passed around and each man put
one under his jacket, right over his
heart.
"In fact, this was the most excit-
ing part of the battle, and the men
forgot the Maine in crying bullets,
not boOks'-and to think that those
books are all safe and sound right
here in the Navy Yard! But all
our trouble was for nothing. Not
a shot entered the library"
The Press published the real
story when the Texas lett the ward
tojoin Schley squadron, It's library
and everything else that was not
absolutely necessary in time of war
was put in the ware house, and the
Texas again will have its library
intact.
"Of course, the journal which
printed the story about the books
being thrown overheard simply |
made a mistake, said the Commo-
dore We are very thankful for
the thousands of books that are
pouring in upon us, but we wish
something would happen to stop it.
Mind you, we appreciate the
thoughtfulness of the people who
send them, but we have no place
for them, and there are thousands
of people about the country who
would like to have them"
