The Exports of Coal.

Assistant Secretary Spauldlng has issued
the following modification of his previous
circular concerning the expectation of coal:
Previous special regulations concerning
the export of coal during the war with
Spain are hereby suspended, and the fol-
lowing regulation is substituted therefor:
Collectors Of customs may clear vessels
with cargoes of coal on compliance with the
law and the usual department regulations
concerning such clearance. The export OF
coal to ports in Spain or the Spanish poses
sions is prohibited. but coal may be cleared
as above to ports or places In possession
Of tina military or naval forces of the United
States. If, however. in any special instance,
YOU have reason to apprehend that the
coal may be destined, directly or indirectly
for the enemies of ths United States, you
will withhold clearance and communicate
promptly with the department"

ture began to lower, and when the work
was done, there was a difference in the
ships temperature of seventeen degrees,
while outside the weather remained just as
oppressIvely hot. The black paint absorbed
the heat but the white reflected it. The
Dolphin started on cruise. At every port
she entered she was admired, and the pa
pers talked of "the white dove of peace
that was folding her wings in the harbor,
and everybody fiocked to see the beautiful
ship. One night the Dolphin came into
F'renchman's bay, off Bar Harbor. The
Secretary of the Navy-then William c.
Whitney-was staying at Bar Harbor, md
Commander Wilde expected his censure.
The Secretary came on board, but had
nothing but words of praise for the appear
ance of the boat, and, when Commander
Wilde told him why the boat was white
instead of black, recounted the suffering of
the crew and his concern for their comfort
and health, and showed him the surgeon s
report, the Secretary said: You have done
right. From this time all the warsE. .ps
shall be painted white"

he has signed. He demands that
Spain withdraw her army and naval
forces from Cuban waters, as request
ed by the terms Of the act of congress
Ono date for the withdrawal being
mentioned, and then states that if a
satisfactory answer is not received
here by Saturday next he will proceed
at once to carry the resolutions of con-
gress into effect.
Although the text of the ultimatum
was not made public, it Is known that
when it is transmitted to the Spanish
government. through Minister Wood
ford, it will contain a copy Of the
joint resolutions of congress, together
with the statement that they have re-
ceived executive approval.
In compliance with their terms the
president makes a demand upon Spain
to withdraw her land and naval forces
from the island and its waters, and in
the event that a satisfactory response
to this demand is not received by the
president by Saturday next he will
proceed with the armed forces of the
United States tc carry these resolu-
lions into effect.
The president does not name any
hour Of the day Saturday. prior to
which Spain must make answer, If at
all, to our demands, but a reasonable
assumption is that any time up to
midnight Saturday will be regarded as
a compliance with the terms Of the
ultimatum.
One Of the members of the cabinet
in speaking of this feature, said that
the government would not hold a stop
watch on Spain in this emergency, ana
could well afford on our own account
to give her three days to decide a
question which may involve the des-
tiny Of the nation.

Bonds, Tunisian and Cuba n

MI. Qnesada's statement to the for

public had been issued rests entire1v
upon his veracity, and that is worth

graphed the chairman of the commit
tee that the statement was false
William Elroy Curtis, in his Wasbing-
ton correspondence, says that the SEQ
rotary of the Cuban league in that
city told him that the president of tho
league in New York placed $40. 600 0OO
OF these bonds year ago when the
senate had passed the belligerencv
resolution, and that it is understood
that they went at one cent on the dol
lar. The editor Of New York paper
states that he was offered 100000 and
declined them. The Times-Herald saws
that it has authority for stating that
Chicago gentleman was recently Of
fered 100000 to secure his influence
in behalf of recognition. with the as
surance that New York bank would
take them at 40 cents on the dollar
a week after the republic was recog-
nized.
Are we to repeat here the scandal
of the bonds Of Tunis? There Is enough
in common in the details Of that piece
of jobbery and this flotation of Cuban
bonds to make 1t worth repeating.

ton. Algiers had been under more
years, and at this time France was it's
suzerain. Tunis offered good field
for exploitation. The hey had been
running a proflgate course, issuing
bonds to raise money to maintain his
establishment in such prOfusiOn that
the price had fallen to about 4 cents
on the dollar. A syndicate, with Gam
BETA member, conceived the idea
of buying these bonds, anneXing Tunis
to France with guarantee Of the pay
ment Of the debt, and the consequent
pocketing Of several millions of profits.
When the syndicate had cornered the
bonds, preteXt for intervention" was
quickly found. For years dervishes
from the deserts, nominally subjects
of the hey of Tunis. had raided the
frontiers of Algiers, plundering the
people and retiring to the deserts when
opposition became too strong.
Gambetta made one of these raids,
happening after the syndicate had
completed it's roundup Of the bonds Of
Tunis, pretext for melting the French

and guarantee Of the payment of
the principal and interest Of the bonds
he had issued. AS French bonds were
bearing per cent and those Of Tunis
bore 6. the effect of this arrangement
was to send the latter to a premium.
They rose to 40 per cent above par.
Gambetta and his partners reaped i'm

How much Of this is being repeated
here today? How much Of this clamor
of the yellow journals is inspired by
holding of bonds Of the Cuban re-
public, worthless now, but, with recog-
milton. worth 40 cents, and, with
annexation, worth par? How many

Now for War Taxes

Being about to engage in a dance 1t

to increase taxation. Singularly the
tariff schedules are not to be touched.

mer at 10 and the latter at or cents
a pound. This is an unnecessary con-
cession to the foreigner If ever there
is time when we should pile the taxes
onto the foreigner, it is when we are
engaged in a war with one of him. 1t
Is flying directly in the face of provi-
dence to omit such an opportunity The
president should demonstrate with
Dingley and his committee and increase
the rates in the several schedules of
the Dingley act so as to shift the bur-
den off onto that foreigner who. we
have had the presidential assurance,
pays whatever tax we may levy on the
goods he sends here for sale.
We are to be taxed on our articles of
luxury, so member of the ways and
means committee says When some
years ago it was proposed to reduce the

well afford to carry load, Mr. Blaine
became quite emphatic in his refuta-
ton Of the assertion, insisting that to-
bacco had become one of life's neces

couple of centuries ago. The most that
can be said for such a tax is that If
is a voluntarily paid one. But tea
and coffee are necessaries, if there are
any, and that in the humblest homes.
The talk of taxing luXuries so as "to
put the burden Of the war on those who
can best afford to pay" takes on
grlmness that is sardonic when coffee
tea and tobacco are rated as Iuxurias
SO with the proposition to tax railway
tickets. The class best able to nav
rarely buy tickets; they travel D. Fl. The
great middle class will bear that bur
den. The tax that would reach tbe
luxurious class. that on incomes. was
considerably obliterated by the five.to-
TOUR decision Of the supreme court. Bu+
when clothing is taxed everything can
be considered luxury.

Becomes Now Our Common Cause.
For the third time in their history the
United States find themselves on the
brink of war. Whatever hope Of escape
speech of the queen regent of Spain
from the throne and before the speech
Of the pacific Sagasta to his followers
in the cortes. Each announces that
concession has reached it's limits and
that nothing remains but an appeal to
arms. For this it is evident the Span
iards are ready and enthusiastic. The
war feeling there meets the war feel
ing here and surpasses 1t. for here, up
to this moment, there has been large,
conservative element that saw clearly
going into war for, and felt that the
sacrifices that must be made in blood
and treasure were not warranted by
the situation. Now, however that the
die is cast and war is inevitable, there
must be no division. The cause becomes
a common one; party lines fade out in
its fierce light; conservatism puts aside
its reluctance, and come what will OF
veal or woe, the people Of the United
States are unit. OF the result we
entertain no doubt. That the war will
be the holiday affair so many thought
less ones think is a mistake of which
the events of the coming months will
convince them. 1t will not do to under
estimate the strength or the courage
of the enemy. Whatever else the Span
lard is that we hold detestable, he is
no coward. We will have no uninter-
expect disasters, but that, in time, we
shall conquer there is no question.
Heaven is on the side of the heaviest
artillery, and we have that We can
crush Spain by mere weight Of num-
bers, as we crushed the Confederacy.
Those of us who have tried to see all
sides of the question, undecided by the
sentimentalism that transfigures the
Cuban insurgents, and, on the other
hand. have shared the general detesta-
ton of SPANS misrule in Cuba, can
find satisfaction in the thought that
the rule of Spain on this hemisphere,
every page of the record of which is
stained with cruelty. rapacity and in
capacity is drawing to an end, and
that it will be the republic of the
United States that is instrumental in
her final expulsion. The only regret is
that she will leave behind in Cuba the
same trail of malign influences she has
left elsewhere on the continent, that
may compel this country to depart
from it's traditional policy and assume
the control of people utterly incapa-
BILE of self-control But that belongs
to the future, and when the duty comes
it will be met. Sufficient for the day
is its duty, and that lays upon every
American citizen the loyal support of
the administration during the contest
