London, March 12.-Mr. CurZop, the
parliamentary secretary for the for
eign office, replying in the house Of
commons to Mr. Mr.. Ronald Munro
Ferguson, Liberal, said no commune
cation on the Cuban question had been
exchanged between the British am,
bassador at Washington and the gov
ernment of the United States. The
question, which it was announced that
Hon. Hubert Valentine Duncombe,
conservative, was to ask whether, in
view of recognizing the identity of the
interests of all English-speaking peo-
pie. the British government will con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY Of placing the
services of the British fleet at the dis,
posal of the United States in the event
of complications between the United
States and any foreign power) was not
put. Relative to the withdrawal or
the question, Mr.. Duncombe said:
After consultation with my friends I de-
cided that the exact form of the question
made it innpportune to put it. 1t was framed
owing to the widely held opinion in the mousse
powers should be told in unmistakeabe terms
that any blow struck at either Great Britain
or the United States was equally blow at,
the other. 1 was profoundly convinced OF TINS
to-day. Many more members than supposed
would do so came to ME in order to say they
heartily endorsed my question. I am con,
WINGED the government would have desired
to my proposed question affirmatiyely
and would have done so had it not involved
other considerations. besides expressing what
l believe the present government sincerely
holds, that in the face of foreign complica-
lions the interests in the future OF Great
Britain and the United States are inseparably
intertwined. To-day's expression and endorse
ment will eventuate soon as we can
clearly express the feeling OF the house OF
commons. that any trouble threatening the
United States will be shared by Great Britain.
Others, members of the house of COM
mons, who were interviewed on the same
subject all spoke in similar strain.

President Booker T. Washington of
the Tuskegee institute tells some sig
nificant anecdotes showing the zeal of
the colored people for the culture of
their race. One day a lame black
woman, seventy years old, who was
born in slavery, hobbled into his Office,
holding something in her patched
apron. "Mr. Washington" she said,
"I'se ignorant and poor, but knows
YOU is tryin' to make better men and
women at dis school. knows you is
tryin' to make better country for us.
Mr.. Washington, amt got no money,
but I want you to take desc six eggs,
and put em into de eddication of one
o. desc boys or girls" The poor wild
.ow's "two mites" could rot have taken
an apter form. and pages could be
written from the hint in the good
.auntys presentation speech"

This Is What Honduras Is Said to
BE About.
st. Paul, March 1.-THE New York
Herald's special cable to the Pioneer
Press from Panama says:
Advices received from the Herald's
correspondents in various points in
Central America state that war clouds
are still lowering over those turbulent
countries. The correspondent in LII
Libertad, Salvador, says the situation
between Costa RIGA and Nicaragua is
very serious and that it is reported
that troops have already gone to the
field. 1t is thought that Honduras
will aid Nicaragua in a war with
Costa Rica, and it is reported that
Honduras has already sent 5000
armed men to Nicaragua to combine
with the latter's forces. Salvador,
meanwhile, is exerting all efforts to
avert war, but the government is re-
solved not to take any part where
Nicaragua is concerned. A we'll known
diplomat in Salvador says that in case
of the intervention of Honduras Sal
vador will neutraliZe her action. The
only Interpretation OF this is that
should Honduras help Nicaragua Sal
vador will support Costa RIGA in the
struggle.
Guatemala's envoy has left Monagua
for Costa Rica, carrying important
documents which will decide whether
the Central American countries will
plunge into war or not. 1t is the gen
eral belief that there will be war in
which three OF more of the countrieas
will be involved.

If people could only feel that they
were getting value received for their
taxes they would be much more ready
to pay them. Unfortunately they can
not feel this. American city govern
ments are VIGOROUSLY inefficient and
corrupt. The remedy is in the hands
Of the people. They can have honest
government if they really want it
BADLY enough to work to get it, and we
believe that in time the appeal to the
conscience of the American people, and
if not that, certainly the appeal to their
fears, will have marked effect in de-
creasing the tax frauds.
