and Intervention talk gives small concern
to the administration:
In the face of overwhelming evidence Of
the near approach Of war, at a time when
Congress and the administration have ap-
parently abandoned hope of peaceful So
luton and when the dir of martial prepa-
rations deafens the ear of two hemispheres,
there still exists in certain exceptionally
faith that an actual conflict will yet be
averted by the surrender of Cuba by Spain.
A member of the diplomatic corp. who is
exceptionally levei-headed, and who has the
best sources of information, made this sig
niicant statement tonight: 1.-THE United
States may make a naval demonstration
and there may be an exchange of shots at
Havana, but there will be no real war;
The Spanish Cortes will meet next Wednes-
day. and after time will give consent to a
plan for the REIMBURSEMENT of the island.
Don Carlos, in anticipation Of such a con-
clusion, has issued a revolutionary mani
festo, but the throne of Spain will be pro-
tected by Austrian and French arms, if
necessary, and the Queen Regent and her
Ministry have small fears on that account.
It may take an actual movement by the
navy against Spanish Cuba to effect an adj
justment, but we will be spared the expert
ence of bloody war
Gen. William Mckee and Capt. James B.
Curtis, of Indianapolis, representing the
National Guard of Indiana, arrived in
Washington this morning and were in con-
sultation all day with members of military
committees of Congress, Secretary of War
Alger and other officials of the War De-
partment. Invitations had been sent to
Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Maryland and Virginia to meet in
Washington to-day and discuss the fea-
lures of the reconstructed bill for the re-
organization of the army on the three
battalion plan. The reorganization bill
which was defeated in the House last week
was Objectionable to the State militia, and
frame bill which would meet these objec-
tions. A measure which, it is believed,
will be satisfactory to the State soldiers
will be rentroduced and probably passed.

The second important point Of variation
from the cleveland system is in the recon-
mendation that the school board should be
appointed by the mayor instead of elected
by popular vote. I'VE are strongly OF the
opinion that in view of the well-knowr diff
ficulty about securing the attendance of the
most interested and intelligent electors at
school elections, as well as because of the
apparent impossibility of freeing school
elections from political or municipal issues,
the better manner of selection is by APP

ladies who, he understood, were stopping at
the Chaplin House, and accordingly used the
telephone.

BERLIN, April 16.--Herr Poschinger, the
author of several books about Prince Bis
marck, has been formally debarred from
searching the royal or other public archives
for material, by order of Emperor William.
The reason for this unusual measure is said
to be the fact that Herr Poschinger has not
accorded what his Majesty considers to be
the full measure of praise to his grand
father Emperor William ], and also be-
cause tho author has given Prince Bismarck
too great prominence in the events of 1S7O-71.

Highway Robbery.

Manuel Perry, the well.known
harkdriver, took some passengers to
Heeia yesterday. He returned alone
shortly before midnight. When he
reached the bridge near the top of
the Pail his horse was stopped by a
man who held bullseye lantern in
his hand, from which a fierce light
glared into the eyes of the bewilder-
ed driver.
Another man stepped forward
with pistol in his hand and hold
ing it against the driver, emptied
his pockets without a word being
spoken. The booty gained by the
robber amounted to $3.15 Of which
he generously returned the five cent
piece to Manuels pocket (for car
fareO and disappeared with the rest
and with his pal.
Both men wore masks and both
were white men,
"Why didn't you ask them for
their cards." was asked OF Manuel,
when he related his story.
"Ask them nothing" said the
brave Portuguese, 81 trembled so
