OFFICIAL STATE PAPER.
A Pretty Fight Now On Between
Dave Mulvane and Cyrus Leland.

One of the Iveliest contests with
which the Republican state administra-
ton has had to deal is now in progress
between Dave Mulvane and Cyrus Le-
land over the official state paper. Dave
Mu1vane wants his paper, the Capital,
to be designated; while Mr.. Leland is
for the Mail and Breeze.
One of the rewards Arthur Capper IS
to receive for filing charges against
McNau was promised, it is said, by the
governor to use his influence to make
the Mail and Breeze the official paper.
Stanley never has liked the Capital.
Dave Mulvane and ]. r. Burton at
tempted to have Lelands candidate for
Judge of the federal court, w. c. Hook,
turned down, and the first opportunity
Leland had to get back at Mulvane
was in the recent Topeka primaries. On
that day Mr.. Leland turned out and
worked for c. J. Drew and sent his office
force out the same mission during
the afternoon of the primaries. Leland
was with the winning crowd that day.
Leland and Mulvane are again array
ed against each other with Governor
Stanley helping Leland. The official pa
per will be named the last of the month,
until which time the result will be in
doubt However at this time a guess
may be made in safety. 1t is said that

OUR LARGEST NAVAL BASE
Will Be Located at Cavite, Philippine
Islands.

washington, March 14.-It is said to
be the intention of the navy department
to send ! 900 marines to CaVite to take
care of the navy's interest there. 1t is
the purpose to send a colonel in COM
mand of these men, although until the
full regiment is on the scene the ma
rines will remain under the command of
Major Bergman, the senior officer of
the corps, now in the Philippines This
seems to be a very large number of ma
rines to station at one navy yard, but
the explanation is that the Cavite sta
ton is the largest in the possession of
the United States, including about sew
enty square miles of land with thirteen
miles of water front.
On the government land are many
squatters and some small towns and a
large number of men will be required to
thoroughly police this territory.
The work of repairing the three Span
ish gunbOatS raised in Manila bay is
reported to be progressing rapidly at
Hong Kong under the direction of Con-
structor Capps and Assistant Con-
structor Hobson. The vessels are said
to be in excellent condition as to ma
chinery and even before they went into
dry dock to be repaired, the ISla de Lu-
zon and the Isla de Cuba made II knots
under their own steam and the Don
Juan de Austria was only about a knot
behind. The constructors report to the
navy department show that the other
sunken Spanish warships have been so
badly damaged as to be not worth the
cost of raising and repairing.

EVERYBODY is PLEASED
With the Attitude ofthe United States
in Chinese Affairs.

Washington March 14-The ambassa-
dors and ministers in Washington rep
resenting those powers having large
interests in China have communicated
to their foreign offices the substance of
the recent answer of the United states
to Italy to the effect that this country
would maintain an attitude of disln-
terested neutrality in reference to the
Italian designs on San Nun bay. Some
of the diplomats have advised their
governments that they regarded the an
nouncement of the United States atti-
tude as of supreme Importance IN the
Chinese situation. The reasons for this
are summed up by a prominent member
of the diplomatic corps representing one
of the powers of Europe follows;
1.-The answer of the United States 70
Italy is remarkably brilliant stroke of
diplomacy. The natural inclination OF
the United States government would
have been to favor the move OF italy
for the opening of San Nun bay without
giving another port to the growing
American trade in China. But as this
would have excited the animosity Of
China your government decides upon a
course of disinterested neutrality This
gives offense to China and at the
same time Italy and the world at large
take notice that the United States Will
interpose no obstacle in the acquisition
of San Nun bay or other Chinese ports.
1t is most important to all the powers
to know that the United States has no
purpose to enter in behalf of China,
even to the extent of eXerting her moral
influence toward continuing China's in
tegrity. For that reason, look upon
the American answer to Italy as the
most important development IN the Chi-
nese situation that has arisen in recent
days and I think it will be so accepted
in all the foreign offices"
This diplomatic official further point
ed out that if Italy secured San Nun
bay from China it would prove a port
of inestimable value to the United
States in the Philippines for the south
