DO NOT FEAR BANDITS.
Americans In Havana Attach Little

Havana, April 12.-The military ad-
ministration has made telegrapl1ic in

cidents reported. The best of the Gu

barbarous practice against the laws of
Christianity and the decree of the su-

The admiral replied, agreeing with
the consul as to the inhumanity of the
practice, and pointed out that had the
German consul upheld the decree of the
supreme court of January there would
have been no bloodshed; that the Gus
tom was an old Samoan one, but first
made known to the world ten wears

sailors were cut off by the barbarous

Will Probably Lead Opposition
Against Bryan.

New York. April 12.-Judge Augustus
Van Wyck, the late Democratic candidate
for governor of New York state. is to be
the chief speaker at the Democratic clubs
$40 dinner tomorrow night. A great many
people who are supposed to understand
the inside of Democratic politics believe
that in his speech tomorrow night Judge
Van Wyck will make his appearance as
a candidate for the Democratic nominal
ton for president.
1t is known that he will outline the kind
of platform that the eastern Democrats
think should be adopted by the next
Democratic national convention. The ex-
pectation of his friends is that the speech
will crystallize the opposition to Mr.

QUESTION OF wARsHIPs.
Action of Great Britain Is Discussed
at Washington.

Washington, D. c., April 1.-THE ac-
ton of Great Britain in ordering two
more warships to Samoa attracted con-
siderable attention here, and it was
stated that if the British ships are so
reinforced. Germany would take SINH
lar steps and augment her naval rep
resentation in those waters to meet any
possible contingencies.
So far, however. no action looking
to reinforcing the United States naval
forces has been taken. Secretary Long
was informed of Great Britain's action
late tonight. but said it was his belief
that there was adequate representation
of the United States there now and
that no more vessels would be dispatch
ed to Samoa unless further important
developments ocurr. The Philadelphia,

Upon the election today the fate of Cap
tain Dreyfus depends Felix Faure was. in
his weak way. an enemy of the unfortunate
officer. Either NJ. Dupuy or NJ. Henri Bris-
son would see that justice be done in his
case, and the ring of army officers who con-
spired to destroy him would have to accept
the consequences. All in all, the chances
are that neither Captain Dreyfus nor the
republic will suffer harm from the sad
event in the Elysee. France has suffered
heavily from the Napoleons, first and all,
and as for the Orleans princes, they are too
much out of date to be seriously considered.

A COTTON FARM MEXICO

Mexican Letter in Chicago Times Herald
The plantation contains $4,000 cultivated
acres and is being constantly extended
About half the plantation is planted in
cotton, which is 10000 acres more than the
largest cotton plantation in the United
States. 1t has produced as maHy as 1900
bales of cotton in one year. Picking on
the Tlahualilo tract is begun early in Sep
TENDER, but it will continue till March,
while in Texas and other northern cotton
states the last bale was picked two months
ago.
Mr.. Mackie is of the opinion that within
five years Mexico will be Independent of the
rest of the world for her cotton supply, and
will even export to Central and South Amer
lea. Cotton is indigenous to Mexico. AT the
time of the Spanish conquest it formed part
of the royal tribute, and Emperor Monte
yuma ii. sent as a sort of peace Offering to
Cortez a gift of cotton goods of delicate
fabric interviewer with feathers of hum
ming birds. The product of cotton in
Mexico at the time of the conquest was
about 100,00O.OOO pounds per annum. The
Spaniards ravaged the country, and then
came the centuries of disquiet and revoll-
ton. The production in 1876, when General
Diaz came into power, was only about 3d.
100000 pounds, while in 1898 the production
was 100000 pounds, more or less. The
MeXicans are turning out prints and finer
cloths, and in fact all kinds of cotton goods

Mr. Mckinley at Boston declared himself

fairs. 1t suits him. He is a natural OPP
portunist and always has been. He has
held all known views on the tariff question,
from the reasonable ones of Garfield to the
unreasonable ones of the latter-day Jug
glers. He has boxed the compass on the
currency question, as the files of the Con-
gressional Record show He is an ideal
he has political ambitions
At Boston he declined to state what his
views are as to the Philippines or even
Cuba. He is in politics an avowed agnost!c.
He says he does not know what s-best, or
what should be done. He proposes to let
matters drift, and he also proposes to keep
in the current, and to keep literally and
absolutely in the swim. The country is in
the hands of man without a backbone.
and it is plain that the opportunist sched-
ule will be maintained throughout the cam
paign of next year.
Under such circumstances the democracy
will find it difficult to fight man of straw

France Itself Not in Peril.

The sudden deth of President Faure will
certainly be regarded by the historian as
providential. He was not Timers, nor even
a Carnot and the republic had in his weak
hands reached a crisis. A coup d'etat. SIM
liar to that of Louis Napoleon in 1858, had
been impending several months; be may
have encouraged the abettors of such u
movement, whether Orleanists or Imperial
lists; at any rate he did nothing to check
the reactionists. and the republic was ac-
tually tottering to its fall when he was
struck down by sudden disease
Two things now favor the republic. There
is no commanding name among the soldiers
of France, General Zurlinden, of the Paris
garrison being the strongest of the list, and
he has no record behind him that commends
him to those ambitious of Napoleonic glory.
There is no other military man in France
of popular strength. And. besides, there
Is no man, not even General Zurlinden, who
can turn the rank and file of the army over
to the reactionists. The army is essentially
republican in spirit The men are republic
cans, whatever some of their officers may
be-
The very suddenness of President Faure's
death, together with the suddenness of the
French constitution in such an emergency,
may avert the crisis that would certainly
have overtaken the republic IL Felix Faure
had lived and remained In Office. The ma
tional assembly will meet today at YER
may be installed; and II that man be either
NJ. Dupuy, the present premier, or NJ. Bris-
son. a life member of the senate, the rcpub-
lie would eourageously face its enemies and
they would be driven into their retreats
again. They would not dare to show them
