SPANS RED BOOK
WAS IN THE HANDS OF THIS
COUNTRY DURING THE WAR.
Government Cable Messages Were
Intercepted and Read by Americans.
Tone of Despair Runs Through
Spain's Red Book. NJ. Cambon's
Mission No Secret.

| New York, Marc h 12.-Tht
Journal says:
The famous red book of Spain,
replete with the secrets of the
government of Spain, has reached
the United States through Sc
crct channel.
Through the corresponding
runs tone of despair. Spair
did not yield her Island empire
gracefully. Isle by isle the Amer
lean wrested the sovereignty of
them from her in the negotiations.
Compelled to offer the indepen'
dence of Cuba when she sued foi
peace, she held 20 Puerto Rico
When this was torn from her she
stuck to the Philippines. There
is piteous note sounding in al
the correspondence. Spain never
had show. We had her State
ciphers, and when the Spanish
government, after travail and
heartburning, authorized NJ.
Cambon, the French minister, to
make the first tentative advance.
and warned him that the honor OF
Spain was involved in his secret
Instructions, we had copy of the
instructions, and NJ. Cambon,
when he went to Mr.. Mckinley,
was startled to find the President
already knew the last details OF
his mission.
Another revelation Of these
messages that will astonish Anne
ricans IS that Spain seriously con-
templated an invasion of the
United States until her fleet was
destroyed. -.
The famous red book of Spain
contains all the orders of the gov
ernment from the late war till the
close of hostilities, and much light
is thrown on hitherto dark sub
jects. .->a.>s-,'
1t shows the inside working OF
the plan to have NJ. Cambon, the
ambassador of France at Wash
ington. sound the American gov
ernment as to its terms of peace.
It brings out curious fact that
when NJ. Cambon presented his
instructions to President McKin-
lev, after having been put to
great trouble to have them decip-
hered out of the private cipher OF
the Department of State for
Spain, the ambassador found that
the American President had been
apprised of the instructions in adj
vance of the ambassador, and
knew the contents of the letter Of
instruction even down to the mi
nutest details.
The intense astonishment of M.
Cambon got into his report to the
Spanish governmeht and this is
also in the red book.
The book shows that SPAN was
early aware Of the fact that gov
erment messages to Cuba and
Puerto Rico over the cable lines
were being intercepted and read
sby Americans-taken out of the
sea as it were. On this ground
the government of Spain held
long conferences with the Mexican
and Colombian governments,
protesting that the cables to those
countries were being used by the
Americans in violation of the
rules of international law.

We believe Senator Penrose was
mistaken when he said that the
law for the election Of United
States Senators would be changed
so that plurality of sLegisla-
ture would elect. A much easier
way to avoid Senatorial deadlocks
would be to elect by direct vote
of the people; then a plurality
would elect. To allow the plural
ity of a Legislature would be very
doubtful reform.

led, or rather amused, to use its
own language. at what it terms
"to note with what persls-
tency some of the Vardaman fol-
lowers are endeavoring to impress
the people of the State with the
stupendous sacrifice he made in
joining the United States Army"
Thus starting off with this theme
and tone. the Chronicle would
speak disparagingly of all hard
ships. sacrifices and particularly
J the bitter political humiliation,
too we'll known to need repetition
here and which was fought 10 a
! finish, which Vardaman passed
through, dictated by consciousness
and patriotism, and the brilliant
achievements which success has
so befittingly crowned him. That
there is any persistency to impress
the people on the gentleman's dis
tinguished military dwellings must
then be interpreted from the oc-
casional compliments generally
paid a soldier of honor and rank;
by the occasional mentioningS
made by an almost unanimous
State press favoring his candida
dacv to become their common
wealth's chief executive, that in
cidcntally make Il mere recital of
the fact just the same as if any
other high-toned gentleman, val
liant and courageous, who had so
promptly dashed to the front,
were soliciting similar favor-iust
the same as if the returned warrior
editor of the Chronicle were can
didate for the Identical favor,
provided he were the choice of an
almost unanimous press.

without going further does the

we say why Vardaman does not
resign his commission and attend
his political fences? When Var
daman led his men he said, "Boys,
| will stand by you to the last. "
And that. is what he is now doing
even if it costs him the priced
gubernatorial chair. Other men
have enlisted and possibly sacri-
feed and suffered more, but they
are neither in the public gaze or
candidates for the Mississippi
governorship, consequently in the
incidents of the campaign there is
no occasion for the Mississippi
papers to impress the people of
the State with their stupendous
sacrifices. That is all.

the effect that o. NJ. Bourgeois

Notwithstanding the inconvenience which
always results when trying to put many
more people into a building than it can conf
fortably accommodate, the large audience
seemed delighted with the program prepared
by the young people of the Methodist Episo,o-
pal church of this splace on the occasion of
the Children's Day anniversary. The churc b
was tastefully decorated with ferns, flowers,
bunting and flags, which were wrought into
beautiful designs. The program was entitled
Peace or War" 1t was prepared by the
late Rev G. II. Payne. in whose death the
Children's Day movement lost one of its fore
most supporters. The program consisted of
an introduction and two parts, The former
began with an organ voluntary, 'As Pants
the Heart" played by Evan L. Jones. Next
was singing by the school, Welcome to
/ June" After prayer by the pastor Rev.
| W. II. Stewart, and responsive reading led
| by the superintendent, W. II. Lewis, the
carol "The Kindly Skies" was sung. This
concluded the Introduction. Part first con-
sisted of an exercise for the younger
schools, which was excellently rendered
under the direction of Mrs. Laura Knight,
assisted by Misses Lille Dovey, Alice Seltzer
and Lille Beddall, and was as follows !:
| Professional Onward Marching" intro
ductory address, Bertha Jones recitation,
Gods Voices" Annie Sherman, Mary Fell,
| Lizzie Lewis, Irene Jones, Irene Sands ;
singing, why Should Children be so
Happy p" recitation, "Puzzling Question"
John Kelley; recitation, "Only Small Boys"
Clarence Reese Josiah Smith, William
Vaughn. Livingstone Seltzer; singing,
'"The Brides Song'; recitation, Some
Small, Sweet Way" Clara Frantz; reci-
tation, The Reason Why" Mary Chal-
mers; song, II Wash My Hands,; recitation,
"The Garden of Life" Margaret Quinn;
recitation, Write It." Hattie Bowman; sing
ing, 'The Happy Little Home" Part second
took up the program proper. Peace was rep
resented by cross covered with daisies and
War was symbolized by a stand Of arms.
The introduction was by Miss Margaret NAL
lard. Miss Ruth Mayer, the representative
of Peace, took her stand beside the cross and
Charles Hughes, in the uniform Of an Ameri-
can soldier, was the representative Of War.
History, was represented by Ethel Jones,
brought her tribute 10 Peace afteEIhich the
school sang the peace song. Conquest, by
Alfred Walker, and Liberty, by Addie Berkel-
bach, brought their tributes to war Patriot
ism, Miss Katie Seltzer. brought her tribute
10 Peace after which "God Bless Our Land"
was sung by the school. Morality, by Jennie
Smith. and Religion, by Maggie Chalmers,
brought their offerings to Peace. Miss Lille
Dovey then sang ''The Holy City" The
pastor then asked for a good collection,
which was given. Kipling's reoessional was
sung and the exercises were concluded by
IAN Hail the Power Of Jesus" The choir,
led by John Knight sang several selections.
Tho singing by school was led by Samuel
Walker.
