STAND OF THE PRESIDENT
APPEARED ANXIOUS TO CON-
TINUE WAR WITH SPAIN.
1t Is Explained, However, That Nc

Correct Diplomatic
Attitude.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Her
AIDS Washington correspondent sends
the following: Administration officials
are very much gratified at the ability
and tact displayed by ambassador
Jules Cambon in representing Spain
during the peace negotiations last sum
mer, as shown by the correspondence
made public in the Spanish red book
and printed in the Herald this morning.
ambassador Cambon's letter, in
which he says the President and Sec
rotary Day seemed to be disappointed
when Spain accepted the terms of
peace, and that it seemed to be appar-
ent that they thought Spain would re-
ject the terms and afford greater ex-
cuse for forcing the war to an end, will
probably be made much of by political
opponents of the administration. 1t
will be seized upon by Democrats as an
evidence that the President wanted to
continue the war for the mere sake
of fighting, and that he wanted to still
further huniliate an already defeated
nation.
Both the President and Mr.. Day will
be charged with being jingoes of the
most extreme type, who were not salts
fed with obtaining a REIMBURSEMENT OF
Spanish sovereignty in Cuba, the ces-
sion of Porto Rico and Guam and the
submission of the sovereignty Of the
Philippines to the peace commission.
but wished to carry the war to the ex-
tent of depriving Spain of all her colo
MES, and perhaps even to the extent OF
bombarding the seacoast cities on the
Spanish peninsula.
In opposition to this argument it can
be urged that as NJ. BoefVe, chancellor
of the French embassy, explains, the
disappointment of the President was
not because Spain had accepted, but

trail behind it. The harbor bill left the
same unhallOWed memory. Then the
nickle- -the-slot cinch was punctuated
with no dollar marks, and the gang De-
gan to ask questions. They had seen
their leaders doing the line with swads
of long green that would make the eyes
Of veteran of 81 bulge. They have
seen the major regaling self and Jake"
on French dinners that conjured memo
rieS Of happier and more prolific days,
and have wondered where the price was
coming from. They carried no sacks
and ate no dinners and the most log
| zeal conclusion possible from the gang
was that the stuff was on hand and
in plenty, but that it was getting no
farther than headquarters.
Then came the Santa Fe bill. Two
days before that measure came up on
its final passage the gang ''hollered
murder" as it was expressed by q
prominent member. mo stuff, no vote, y
was the ultimatum, and for forty-elgnt
hours matters looked serious for the
bill in the Assembly. An hour before
it was called up, however, word came
from headquarters to stand in. The
whip was laid on and had a salutary
effect, and the gang had nothing to
do but throw up its hand and shout
AYE" when it's turn came. Since then
rebellion has been almost open. The
gang cannot be convinced that dollars
IN large NUMBERS were UOl uScu III SSl-
ting the measure through, and they
insist that the two leaders on the floor
who engineered matters hogged the
whole sack. They look at it as a cold
blooded business proposition and figure
that they have been bunkoed out of
their due profit by false pretenses.
1t was this that caused the visit OF
yesterday to the colonel. Those who
represented the gang told without en-
belIishment their tale Of woe and in
formed Burns that while he need not
fear detection from the ranks it would
be we'll for him to remember that the
crowd would not stand everything, and
that his lieutenants must be instructed
to do the fair thing and give them a
chance to make enough at least to pay
off those prediction obligations. The
prospect of going back home next week
with empty pockets and nothing but
overdue notes to face is not pleasing
and the week must bring forth profit.
Senator Currier of Los Angeles, who
arrived from the south this evening.
went at once to his apartments on L
street and gave directions to deny ad
mission to callers, as he required rest.
While his health is not fully restored
he expects to be able to attend the joint
Assembly tomorrow: His most init
mate friends say that he will vote for
General Barnes.
Milton Green tonight telephoned to
the Grant people that he would be here
tomorrow forenoon. He expected to
leave Oakland this evening, but his
wife's physicians advised him to remain
at home until Monday morning.

ALUMINIUM POWER
LINE is COMPLETED
The Blue Lakes Plant Is Now Ready
to Supply Stockton With
Electricity.

STOCKTON, March 12.-The pole line of
the Blue Lakes Power Plant is now COM
pleted from Stockton to Mokelumne Hill
and has been given final inspection by the
best experts the company could engage.
1t is expected that power equal to 5000
horsepower will be delivered here over
four wires within forty-f1ve days. The
survey for the line to Oakland is going
forward rapidly. Great interest centers
in how the aluminium wires will work I'M
der heavy voltage. If entirely success
full as the owners have every reason to
expect, the remainder of the great system
If not, the company will have to fall back
on copper wire. The pole line is said to
be the finest ever erected in the West.

because she had failed to make an un-
conditional acceptance 1t can also be
asserted that if the President and Mr..
Day led the French ambassador to
think that they were anxious to con-
tinue the war they took exactly the
proper method to bring Spain to terms
without more delay.
Whatever may have been their mo-
five il seems from the correspondence
printed in the red book that the Span
ish Government was impressed with
the entire Willingness if not anxiety
of the. President to continue the war
even to the extent Of celebrating the
Spanish kingdom, and the result was
an immediate acceptance by the Span
ish Ministry of the terms offered by
the United States.

If the month of November holds up to

Last year the total of mortgage re-
