SPAIN MUST GIVE IN oR FIGHT.
United states VIII Insist on Evacu-
alton of the Island.

London, April 8, 6 a. m-AThe Rome cor
respondent Of the Daily News says: The
vatican received to-day Thursday 6is-
patch from parsonage whose name can
not be mentioned, running thus:
president Mckinley says an armistice
between Spain and the insurgents must
lead TO the evacuation of Cuba.
"From other Information that has arriv-
ed at the vatican. It appears that Spain
wishes TO find a formula TO save the sit
uation, and that the United States viii
avoid war only If the armistice means that
Spain is going to leave the island and is
ready to sign for evacuation.
"All the news received goes TO confirm
the belief that the United states cannot
and viii not retire from this position.
Spain must give way II she wishes TO
avoid war, having, besides her other bur
dens. the Carlsl and republican dangers
to ward off.
.oThe Pope's action continues TO infu-
ence Spain in this direction If Spain
Yields The message will be concniatory; IL
not II will correspond to a declaration Of
war"
The mornig papers editorials on the Gu
ban situation are ali pesslmistic, at the
most only hoping that the delay until
Monday will enable some peaceful inhu-
ence 20 work.
The Times cannot see how a conflict can
be avoided
The Daily News points out that in both
America and Spain Il Is the people and not
the rulers who desire war,
The special dispatches from the conti-
nent to the morning papers likewise re-
cord the same feeling Of hopelessness of
avoiding conflict.

Madrid April 7, 2:25 a. m.-After the cab
met meeting and the issue of the semi
official note, previously cabled. which was
regarded as a serious announcement, there
was much excitement and bellicose talk in
the city
The cafes were crowded with people, all
eagerly discussing the situation, and ren-
orally approving the attitude of the caoi-
net
The military papers to-day are violent
in their utterances against the United
States.
1t is asserted here that the commuaica-
ton from Rome which the papal nuncio
and the minister for foreign affairs placed
before the cabinet after the regular meet
ing had adjourned last night, asked what
concessions Spain would make. The cabi-
net it is further stated, decided to reply
that the government simply reaffrmed
its former decisions. already known to
President Mckinley"
AS previously intimated in these dis
patches, there is no truth in the rumor
current last night in Madrid that the
United states government had presented
an ultimatum to the government of Spain
demanding that the latter modify within
six hours the note presented after the last
conference.

A HARMONIOUS GATHERING.

Oklahoma Statehood Convention Disa6-
pointing 20 Those Who Predicted a Split.
KINGFIsHER, Ok, Jan. 1.-THE best
humored, most representative and most
harmonious statehood convention vet
held in Oklahoma assembled last night
in the opera house. 1t was called to
order by Virgil h Hobbs, chairman Of
the free silver committee. The pro-
ceedings throughout were devoid Of
any bitter controversies Delegates
were present from every county in the
territory. The committee on resolu-
tons submitted the following report,
which was adopted:

endorsement il is not altogether uu-
likely that Mckinley extended the civil
service classification to make the ex-
IRENE administration Of the civil serT-
ice law obnoxious. Therefore. It is not
surprising that Gen. GrosvenOr should
be doing his part in congress to make
the law unpopular"
That IS supp0sition; but TO one ex-
perenced IN the ways Of politicians it
does not seem to be an improbable view
Of the acbualities OF the situations Gen.
GrosTenor IS one Of the best men in con-
gress, and President Mckinley is one Of
the purest men ever known in public
life. Both Of these are politicians, and
yet both Of them come fully up 10 the
measure Of true craftsmanship There
is nothing partisan IN the true admins
tratiOn Of the civil service law. People
everywhere however, are divided IN
their views concerning the manner and
method Of its proper enforcement.
The debate Of this question incites the
thought heretofore expressed in this
column Of correspondence; that is, are
not the offices made too tempting BY
the large salaries attached to them ?
There is a reason for everything in this
world, and there must be some reason
for this terrific clamOr for the spOils OF
Office
But it is perfectly natural, after all.
II John Doe gets a nomination to con-
gress, and his success is largely due 10
the political management Of Richard
Roe, it is only natural that Richard
Roe should expect some sort Of reward.
When John Doe comes to congress he
gets a salary Of $1,000 per annum, and
that looks pretty big at home. Never
theless, the cost Of living in Washing
ton, according to the style expected Of
congressman, is very great, and the
congressman cannot afford to pay
money to Richard Roe for having stood
by him in the past, and for standing by
him in the future. But Richard Roe
wants his reward, and he applies for Of
fee. OF course the congressman ought
TO do something for him, If he can.
That sums up the original cause of
ofice-seelzing, but it does not suggest
the cure The plain people Of our coun-
try will in their own way and in their
own time settle this question snce for
all and take-it out Of the realm of dis
CuSSlOQ-
The fate Of this much-discussed law
may be settled in the debating societies
Of the country. Let the young men take
it up, discuss it, argue 1t and reach con-
illusions concerning it. There is No
more fruitful theme to-day before the
people. 1t viii be found that the young
