Quemados The sight of the United
States troops has now become SO familiar
that there was no special demonstration
the part of the pOpulace.
Among the, matters which the United
ers referred to their respective govern
ments for settlement was the pretended
sale by the Spanish officials of number
of obsolete guns before the two commits
sions had agreed upon the. character of
the ma terial which the Spanish were to be
a liberty to dispose of as government
movable property.
The United States commissioners filed
protest. but President Mckinley decided
that the Spanish authorities were entitled
to this obsolete ordnance and Brigadier
General Clous informed Captain General
Castellanos of the decision today, thus
settling the last point in dispute between
the two commissions.
The United States troops occupied Castle
la Punta yesterday afternoon.

GOV. MERRIAM SLATED.
AS Successor of Ambassador Hitch
cock at st. Peters burg.

New York, Dec. ga Washington
special says: Former Governor Mer-
RAM of Minnesota is said to be slated
to succeed Secretary Hitchcock as am
basSadOr to Russia. Mr.. Merriam
friends assert with every indication of
assurance that the incident is closed be-
tween the president and the former gov
ernOr and his name is expected to go to
the senate soon after the holidays.
Mr.. Merriam is now in Washington
and has had several interviews with
the president, but he declines to confirm
or deny the report.
Those familiar with Minnesota politics
are aware that the president has more
than a passing friendly regard for Mr.
Merriam and had he to consult only his
personal desires, a place in the cabinet
would have been bestowed upon the
former governor. He was also favor
ably mentioned in the early stages of
the present administration in cOnnec-
ton with various diplomatic missions
abroad, from am bassador to the court
of St. James down to consul general in
Cuba.

Letter to President Mckinley From
the Head of An Organization Rep
resentating Quarter Million
Women

Chicago, April 1.-The club women
strong, today expressed themselves re-
garding Cuba in a letter written to
President Mckinley by Mrs. Ellen NJ.
Henrotin of Chicago, president of the
General Federation of Womens clubs.
The letter follows:
Chicago, April 1. 1898.
Mr.. President-The general Fedora
ton of Women's clubs is an Organiza-
ton which embraces % state fedora
tions of women's clubs, which number
in membership 1923 clubs. and over
$500 other clubs are also united in the
membership OF the general federation
The individual membership of these
clubs varies from % to 1000.
The largest individual club is that
of New York, with $4,000 women as
members. Massachusetts and Illinois
rank next, the former with $4,000. the
latter with $4,000. Ohio has about 1000
women members of the state feds ration.
1t IS estimated that the general feder-
alton has over 100000 women in men,
bership.
The members of the general fedora
ton would condemn a war which was
undertaken for ACKNOWLEDGMENT or for
territorial acquisition, as the federation
and reciprocity, but its members recOg-
nize the fact that this nation, in the
vanguard of all republics, must stand
aiCne for the cause of humanity, for
the cause of the weak as against the
strong; for the right as against might,
and we feel that you represent this
cause. Therefore, as a federation, We
tender you our sympathy and express
to you our confidence in your wisdom
ard your devotion TO the highest good
OF this dear country of ours.
while most of the members of the
federation represent no vote on subjects
of national politics, we do represent
great influence. On us war will fall the
heaviest. for we must give our sons,
aid must, during and after the war,
help TO repair the ravages and losses,
and mitigate the suffering which such
Il terrible event must inevitably bring
in its train. Therefore, we have the
best right to an expression of our Opin-
len. We pledge you. while it is a ques-
ton of humanity, that you may count
on the moral support of this organiza-
ton.
Il am, with sentiments of the highest
consideration. yours truly.
