A correspondent succeeded Saturday
In securing a statement from a high
official Of the Government regard 10

condition that his name should not be

you can hear all sorts Of talk to-

about the Administration weakening
or being backed down by Spanish de-
mands. While / do not pretend 10
speak with absolute authority, let me
put you In line with what is gong to be
done. The Administration Is not back
ing down, nor will It. Its policy has
not been understood You will find
that things will remain in the present
condition Of uncertainty for from sixty
to ninety days During all this time
we will be making ready for war, as a
sensible people should. The $4,000.
200 will be spent Of equipment so bad
ly needed. We will be ready for trOu-
bic, which cannot be sald Of us now.
Then you will see that within the time
stated, the President viii quietly re-
ceiye the official representative Of the
Cuban Government, which in itself
will be a recognition o the independ-
ence of Cuba. Thss will be done with
out any fuss, and if Spain wants to
fight about 1t, we will be in shape to
emerge in hostillties. We will an
nOunce that the Monroe doctrine APP
plies and we must enfOBce it."
"But what about the Maine reports"
was asked.
"'That question is one for recOgni-
ton. The report will not attempt to
fix direct responsibility on the Spanish
Government, and our demand for In
demnity will be based upon Spanish
negligence or private treachery. Now,
do you suppose that a demand for in
demnity is disposed of twepty-fOur
hours? BY no means. Spain will dis
pute the claim and want to be heard.
Negotiations will ensue and they will
last a long time The great question of
Cuban independence will not be
dwarfed by the indemnity claim, and
If there is any fighting it will be over

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(Special.)
The diplomatic aspect of the Spanish
question developed no new phases Sat
urday. 1t is stated positively that no
concrete propositions on the enlarge
ment of the present plan of autonomy,
or settlement based on independence,
by purchase or otherwise, or a mutual
cessation Of naval and war prepare
tons, have been under negotiation
These subjects are continually coming
up for abstract discussion, more in the
line of argument pro and con, as to
what might be done toward a solution.
But beyond this none of these propo-
sitions has advanced to the stage
where it may be said to be a question
of official negotiations between the two
Governments.
Messrs. Angelo, Valera and Cadenas,
the three commissioners named by the
Cuban Cabinet to act with Minister
Polo in framing a Commercial treaty
was presented to Secretary Sherman
and Judge Day on Monday. They ex-
pect to take up the negotiations with
Commissioner Kasson after the cere-
mony of presentation is concluded.

simply n cooperation of the represen-
tatiycs Of the furnaces through the
country, with a view TO occasional
meetings and interchange Of thought
looking to the improved methods and
cheapncss Of manufacturing by adopt
ing modern improvements and patents
in the irn-making process, as they
may come to the surface from time to
time.
The iron manufacturers believe that
by this method a more thorough and
satisfactory mode of doing business
will be attained. Maj Wills reports
most satisfactory results Of the meet
ing and anticipates that within the
next thirty days the organization will
be complete and will comprise every
iron manufacturing company in the
United States.
In pOstofiice matters Maj Wills re-
ported that he took advantage Of his
trip East to post himself as fully as
possible on improvements made in the
postal service in the past few years,
by visiting the pOstoiiices in New York,
Philadelphia and Washington, spend
ing several hours in each Office, going
through them as thoroughly as posi-
bic in the time allowed and jotting
down the good things" with a view
to adopting them in the Nashville Of
fee. He left New York on Saturday
at l o'clock in the afternoon, arriving
in Washington at Z o'clock, and in
spected the Washington pOstoflice I'M
til his train left, about midnight,
reaching home Sunday morning
Within a short time after his arrival
he assumed the duties of Nashville's
postmaster. On the subject of inn
prOvements to be made in the postal
service ut Nashville, Maj Wills said
he had given the matter considerable
thought and had several material i'm
provements in view that he proposed
to carry out, after thorough consul
tatiOn with his associates in Office and
learning their views on the contem-
plated improvements.
Maj. Wills specially asks any and all
suggestions from the patrons of the
Office looking to improvements in the
service, and says he will guarantee to
secure everything asked for from the
department at Washington or know
why. He spoke in most compliment
everything so complete and in such
airy terms of his predecessor, Capt
Cheney, and associates in office, and
said it was a great pleasure to have
the office transferred to him with
perfect order, even to the minutest de
tail. He found many most valuable
changes and improvements made IN
the service under Capt. Cheney's ad-
ministrat.on.
