him to inform the young women not to

OF the presidents recomme ndations
In conn ection with our foreign relations
it is unnecessary to speak in detail.
The United States is at peace with all
the world, and never before have her
supremacy in the western world and
her importance in the field of world
politics been so generally admitted.
Next to the currency it is our colonial
responsibilities that receive the most
careful treatment. Here particularly
the president refrains from overstep-
ping the bounds of his constitutional
authority. The presidents remarks
with regard to Cuba are 80. striking

craftsmanship that they are here re-

Mr.. Hummell said: This is an attempt at

CUBANS WANT A LOAN
THREE MILLIONS NOT ENOUGH FOR
THE INsURGENT ARMY.
Anxious to Issue S7,O0O,OOO Worth of
Bonds and Also to Take Up the Jun
tO's $2,50O,OOO of Paper.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Efforts are
making, with every prospect of success, to
reconcile the radical element among the
Cubans to the proposition Of the United
States government to pay the soldiers OF
the Cuban cause 5000, 900. This is expected
to be accomplished through a rather sweep
irg authorization by the United States gov
eminent for the incurment of a considerable
loan to make good the deficiency between
the sum the United States agree to pay to
the troops and the sum the Cuban leaders
believe to be the smallest that can be paid
with benefit and due regard to justice. So
far the proposition has not taken official
shape here, but the administration has been
quietly sounded by the Cuban contingent.
who have expressed qualification at the
prospects. General Gomez himself is ex-
pected to breach the plan formally when he
begins his conference with General Brooke
in Havana. Gomez arrived to-day at Ma
tanzas, making his way very slowly towards
the capital. What is proper is that the
United States shall sanction the floating of
bonds by the Cuban municipalities or prov
inces to the amount of 100000, which sum
is to be paid owe to the Cuban troops in ad-
0ition to the 100000 to be paid by the
United States. The municipalities are to
set as1Ce certain proportion from the re-
ceipts from customs and other sources of
taxation to meet the bonds. In addition to
this, the United States government is to be
asked to sanction the redemption out of the
custom receipts of the bonds issued in aid
of the Cuban rebellion to the amount of
81, 100000. Data, it is stated here, will be
produced by the Cuban Assembly to show
that every cent of this sum was expended in
legitimate war expenses.
Senior Q~uesada, late of the Cuban legation,
and just returned from Cuba, was in con-
sultation with the officials of the State and
War Departments to-day. He does not care
to discuss his recent mission to Cuba for
publications, but did say that there appeared
to be a misconception in both the United
States and in Cuba as to the attitude of the
people in each country. He desired it under
stood and said he based his statement on
the closest observation while in Cuba that
absolutely the best of feeling prevailed
among the Cubans towards the United
States military authorities in the island.
This was true, Notwithstanding the open eff
forts of some persons to give rise to the
impression that great friction exists and
that the Cubans generally were chatting at
the actions Of the Americans. He was sure
that with the simple exercise of the most
ordinary tact on both sides there could
arise no trouble between the Cubans and
the Americans,

Mrs. HOwnrd Gould Asked to Pay for

NEW YORK, Feb. 20-The Herald says:
Mrs. Howard Gould, who was Miss Kathe-

However much the emotions are stirred

not, from all appearances, be blotted out
forever. In consequence Of certain fears

most rigid precautions known to military
science. His hut has been divided into
two rooms, separated by an iron grating

malaria and low intermittent fever, while
four insist that Smiths disease was yellow

''The reorganized Church of Jesus Christ

and been hindered much in it's efforts to
preach a pure gospel by the stigma of polyg-
amy and its kindred evils taught and prac-
ticed by the apostate church commonly
known as the Mormon Church in Utah"
The president Of the Creola branch said:

because he is a Mormon, but because he is
a. lawbreaker and because of the evil doings
of men of his kind who have brought re-
proach upon US, an innocent people"

the enemy's lines during the night, and this
led to the belief that an attack had been ar
ranged, but nothing happened. The rebels
are leaving the vicinity of San Pedro Macati
in small parties and are reported to be NOV

a disinterested manufacturer could possibly

doubtedly the delegates gain many new

manufacturers is incalculable. Never has a
