THANKSGIVING DAY.

President Mckinley has issued the
following Thanksgiving proclama
ton:
A national custom dear to the hearts
of the people calls for the setting
apart of one day in each year as an
occasion of special thanksgiving to
Almighty God for the blessings of the
preceding year. This honored OBJ
servance acquires with time tender
significance. 1t enriches domestic life
1t summons under the family roof the
absent children to the glad reunion
with those they love.
Seldom has this nation had greater
cause for profound thanksgiving. No
great pestilence has invaded our
shores. Liberal employment awaits
upon labor. Abundant crops have re-
warded the efforts of the husband
man. Increased comforts have come
to the home The national finances
have been strengthened and public
credit has been sustained and made
firmer. In all branches of industry
and trade there has been an unequalled
degree of prosperity, while there has
been steady gain in the moral and
educational growth of our national
character. Churches and schools have
fourished. American patriotism has
been exalted. Those engaged in main
| tanning the honor of the flag with such
signal success have been in large
degree spared from disaster and
disease. An honorable peace has been
ratified with a foreign nation with
which we were at war, and we are
now ON friendly relations with every
power on earth.
The trust we have assumed for the
benefit of the people of Cuba has been
faithfully advanced. There is a
marked progress toward the restora-
ton of healthy industrial conditions,
and under wise sanitary regulations
the island has enjoyed unusual ex-
emption from the scourge of fever.
new possession of Porto Rico, destroy
ing the homes and property of the in
habitants called for the instant sym
pathy of the people of the United
States, who were swift to respond
with generous aid to the sufferers.
While the instruction still continues
in the island of Luzon, business is re-
Stunning it's activity, and confidence in
the good purposes of the United
States is being rapidly established
throughout the archipelago.
For these reasons and countless
others, I, William Mckinley, Presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby
name Thursday, the thirtieth day of
November next, as DAY of general
thanksgiving and prayer, to be OBJ
served as such by all our people on
this continent and in our newly ac-
quired islands, as well as by those
who may be at sea or sojourning in
foreign lands; and I advise on this
day that religious services shall be
conducted in the churches or meeting
places of all denominations, in order
that in the social features of the day
it's real significance may not be lost
sight of, but fervent prayers may be
offered to the Most High for contin-
uance of the Divine guidance, without
which mans efforts are vain, and for
divine consolation to those whose
kindred and friends have sacrificed
their lives for the country.
/ recommend also that on this day
so far as may be found practicable
labor shall cease from its accustomed
toll and charity abound toward the
sick and the poor.

Havana, March "a, 10 a. m.--That the
Cuban and the Spanish rancheros hatreds,
the outgrowth OF the war conditions, are
stIn actively pursued in Cuba is EVIL
denced by a communication recently sent
to Governor General Brooke by Senior
Lanuza. head 81 the department OF Justice
and public instruction. He says II Is
matter OF daily occurrence chat in differ
cut parts OF the island proceedings are
taken against those who belonged to guer
rila and other Spanish forces during the
war for crimes imputed to have been COM
mittcd at that time. Cuba's peace, Ssnov
Lanuza adds. requires that this be stopped
Continuing he says. II We open the door
to such accusations we should soon have
a series Of actions agains, Cuban leaders
aud resident Spanish soldiers. which would
constitute a continuation of the war. but
with other arms. The Cuban army, under
the necessity OF war. burned property and
seized food aud clothing TIE Spanlards
did similar things. Thes men should not
now be prosecuted for acts committed In
war time Cuba must forget the past Such
Prosecutions disturb the cOuutrys recon

Following the suggestion contained In
Senior Lanuza's letter. Governor General
Brooke Will issue a decree 10 the effect
that the civil and military judges must MT
recognize and must dismiss all present ana
