The Cuban News.

The President has not changed
front on the Cuban question. His po-
sition is still that Cuba must speedily
be freed.
Message was withheld because Gen.
Lees representations that American
lives would be in danger and in order
to give time for them to leave Havana.
When the situation was explained
to Senator Davis he said precipitance
wonld be criminal.
President has now resolved to go to
war in case Spain does not surrender
the island to independence.
In the message he will outline his
plan of Intervention. state his reasons
for opposing present recognition and
declare opposition to annexation.
Reports from Madrid are that Spain
will concede everything asked, but
they will not be made the basis for de-
lay. Spain will be given only a few
days in which to say she will give up
Cuba.

dents message will be transmitted to

event can happen in the meantime
that will cause a change of program.
and should that event occur, all the
United States will applaud and the
world will echo the universal praise.
If, between now and Monday, the

you consider the risk connected with the
production of the explosive they are none

from the government, but before the stun
is delivered we may have two or three
men killed. and We have, Of course. to
make a cash settlement with their fami-
lies.
Men who are destroyed by an explosion
of gun cotton are blown into agmen

IT CAME AS A SURPRISE
The Defeat of Annexation Was
Not Expected.
INDIFFERENCE CAUSED IT
The Mayor Said That No Effort Was
Mao to Carry the Election-A
Long Time Before Another
Attempt Is Made.

The defeat of the annexation PROPOSE
ton was a surprise to city officials. who
had thought that most Of the residents
of the outlying districts wanted to be-
come a part of the city Of Butte. The
vote was very small, which would indi-
cate that most of the residents were
Indifferent as to whether they came into
the city or not.
mo effort was made to carry this
election" said the mayor yesterday.
"Of course IL the people don't want to
come in they are the doctors, and it
hardly seems the prope thing to do
electioneering to carry an election of
this sort. / was particularly surprised
at the result west and northwest of the
city, for they had seemed very DESTROYS
of being annexed to the city. The ex-
pense of a special election would not
have been incurred but for the appar-
ent desire of the people to be Joined
to the city and the belief that they rep
resented the majority.
Il hin the decision of the attorney
general hur the cause of the annexa-
tionists. limited the franchise to
those who were registered at the cleo
ton two years ago. That was hardly
a fair test, for these sections have been
mainly built up in the past two years
and the people who have built homes
there the past two years and who are
really most interested in the matter of
annexation could not vote. Many who
registered from there two years &
and were therefore entitled to vote have
not moved away. ] do not think there
fore that the vote was a fair test of
the sentiment OF the actual residents,
but nevertheless ii settles the matter.
/ suppose those opposed to annexation
have an idea hat they will get fire
protection anyway, without having to
pay city axes. They probably consid-
er that while they are not entitled to
fire protection, i'm case of fire out there
the fire department would LAY mercy
and go to their assistance rather than
see their homes destroyed. They may
be mistaken in this view"
The defeat of the annexation PROPOSE
ton doubtless means hat the city of
Butte is as big as 1t will get. 1t will
probably be a very long time before
there is another special election for an
nexation, for special elections are so
expensive hat one is not likely to be
had again for man years, the senti-
ment being so decidedly against annex
alton. Lately there has been a good
deal of talk in Centerville favorable TO
annexation to Butte. Many people up
there are beginning to see the advan-
tages of police protection. fire protec-
ton and electric street lighting. and
have expressed themselves in favor of
annexation. But in view of Mondays
decisive defeat. it is not likely hat any
special election for the annexation of
Centerville will be held until it is GER
tain that the majority of residents of
the northern suburb want to be an
nexed

SMOKE ROBERT MANTELL CIGAR:
Our Inadequate Consular Service.


We sometimes heal II said that a new
ly appointed consul is bright and can
qualify himself. But how costly may be
the errors incident to such qualification.
How dearly may we pay for an educa-
ton which should ave preceded in
cumbency. I do not, however, deem the
time spent in obtaining the requisite in
formation as constituting the most seri-
Gus cause for reflection. The removal
from office of a good consul who has be-
cme an expert in his business, and who
is useful to his country, is always UNI
fortunate, and sometimes disastrous.
The naming Of men unfamiliar with the
language of the locality in which they
are to act is in~excusable. Great Britain
always quick to discover fields for the
opening of lucrative trade-not only in
sists upon ample general education and
legal attachments, including interna-
tional law, but requires a knowledge of
French, and. in many instances, other
languages. France, too, Is most insist
ent i'm this regard; subjecting the candi-
date to a strict examination, and keeping
In view his a~daptability TO the place to
which. he seeks to be assigned. Many
of our consuls i'm Mexico and Central
and South America cannot speak Span
ish: and where this is the case their eff
forts are seriously hampered. Such a
man finds his English, German and
French rivals fully equipped and daily
outstripping him in the advancement of
home interests. An interpreter may be
used, but this method of communication
Is at best unsatisfactory. A consul thus
embarrassed not only encounters OBJ
stacles of a social character. but Is an
noyed on all sides. He feels out of
place. The losses which we annually
sustain on this account n be read
lily measured. but must be very large

The Downing Company Insurance
Suit Goes Over to
March.
COMPANY WILL LOSE NOTHING.
The Auditors Findings Virtually Upheld
All the Plaintiffs Claims, But Court
Wanted More Information.

The noted insurance case of Patter-
son, Downing & Co and the Downing
Company, plaintiffs, against the Lon
don Assurance and others, defendants,
was taken up before Judge Sweat on
yesterday in Glynn superior court,
and pending argument thereon certain
questions were found requiring addi-
tional proof from the auditor, Owens
johnson, in order to fully advise the
conrt upon the issues. An order was
accordingly taken and further argu-
ment of the case will be proceeded
with on the first day of March, 1898,
inasmuch as the engagements of Con-
gresham Brantley make it impossible
for him to longer remain away from
Washington or to have hearing at an
earlier date.
The report of Auditor Johnson was
favorable to all the contentious of the
plaintiffs on the questions raised.
Tue case is most important one,
aud vital questions of insurance law
as between the fire and marine com
panies are being discussed, which will
finally decide many questions never
heretofore touched upon in any liti-
gated cases, and the large array of
counsel for the Insurance companies
attests the Importance of the conten-
tions as between the various classes of
underwriters.
Patterson, Downing & Co. and the
Downing Company, plaintiffs, get
their money, however, no matter
which way the cases go. Over $50, 900
has already been paid by the marine
companies on this loss. The amount
really involved between the companies
is something like $36 900 and interest.
