THE Liberal EEUD.

1t has been quite plain since his re-
lish Liberal party that Sir William Har-
court has been smarting under what he
doubtless regards as party insratitude
toward himself. His readiness to take
up the cause of the anti-ritualist element
in the pending disagreement Iii the estab-
Iished church made it plain that he is
anxious to make as much trouble as he
conveniently, can for those whom he re-
CARDS as being responsible for his retire
ment. His more recent dcmonstra-
ton against Lord Rosebery will be
even more effective in the same
direction. If he follows it up,
as he threatens to do on May "a.
he will have occasioned rupture in the
party of which he was so long the lead
that will be well nigh irreparable.
Harcourt's avowed anxiety to preserve
the party heritage OF, Gladstone's leader
ship is somewhat tar fetched at best
He was one of the latest. as he was re-
Sarded as one of the least sincere Of
GladstCne's converts to the policy of
home rule. Whether Lord Rosebery is
coGuetting with Joseph Chamberlain and
his Unionist following is very doubtful.
He can never bring Liberal following
into the ranks of the Unionist-Tory al
lance. Such a step would sacrifice all
his present prestige, even if ii were true
that he had re-entered political life. In
deed, it will cut no considerable figure
one way or the other what Lord Rose
berry contemplates doing or what he
does.
The Liberal party since some time be-
fore the death of Mr. Gladstone has stood
trembling on the verge of old-time Whig-
gerry. 1t has feared to adopt truly
liberal policy. Advanced men like John
Morley have stepped aside, and Liberalism
has been as a boat without a rudder,
blown hither and thither by each new
wind of party sentiment. 1t may regain
it's bearings before the dissolution of
parliament, but it is more shan doubtful.
Meanwhile Joseph Chamberlain remains

land is an extension of public authority
for which some one should be made to
suffer.
AS long as Mr.. Moss confines himself
to the assumption contained in his ques-
lions, that Mayor Van Wyck is merely
the official puppet who dances as the
string is pulled by Croker, of course the
true object OF the inquiry Is made plain.
While such line of questioning must be
very disagreeable to the witness it at
least fails in that tender regard for the
feelings of the witness which indicates
him to be perjured scoundrel.
Every good citizen will be glad, aside
from politics, if the Mazet investigating

person can extend even liberation to the

tive of the public welfare.

Opinions have differed and will proba-
bly, continue to differ regarding the true
attitude Of the former commander-in-
chief Of the Cuban revolutionary army,
Gen. Maxine Gomez. There is no differ
ence of opinion, however. on the very
serious character of the present Cuban
situation. 1t is frqught with danger to
Cuba and the Cuban people.
Everything that a generous nation
could do for sister nation in dis
complished by any one people for another,
has been done by the American people for
the people of Cuba. The question pre-
SCENTS itself today with startling clear
ness whether the Cubans were worthy Of
what has been done, or, indeed, of hay
ing anything done for them, to put an
end to Spanish domination. The answer
to this question rests now with the Gu
ban people themselves. Neither Gen.
Gomez nor any of his former army SUBJ
ordinates can answer it for them
II the Cubans desire to secure an in
definite period Of American occupation,
they evidently know how TO secure it.
Let them or any considerable proportion
of them, either ex-soldiers or civilians,
but put themselves in opposition to the
reorganization of the affairs of their
country by the United States, and they
will set back the dawn Of true Cuban
liberty for a very long period
Our armies invaded that island for the
express purpose not only Of putting an end
10 Spanish barbarism, but of establishing
d sound, stable, representative form of
government best suited 10 the present
needs and the national genius of the Gu
ban people. We have performed one part
Of that undertaking. We are engaged
in the performance of the ether. If the
Cubans wish TO ALLEVIATE the good will
OF their real friends among the Ameri-
can people, the refusal of the former Of
ficers of their army to participate in or
consent to the surrender of their arms by
the former Cuban army will go a long
way in that direction.
Cuba is being treated with absolute
good faith The mass of the American
people, apart from the administration set
or their adherents, desire to see the ISL
and embarked on a career Of peace and
prosperity. They are no Parties to the
Vaccinations of few imperial politicians
to secure the annexation Of Cuba. They
believe there is such thing as national
gratitude. They themselves acknowl-
edge the depth of their gratitude as a ma
ton to the French people. They expect
gratitude, not treachery or folly, from
the cubans. They cannot control the
one. but they can and will put down and
destroy the other, if they have to.

NEW YORK, May 16.-A dispatch from
Paris quotes Archbishop Ireland as say
ing:

fronted.
THE piling up of huge armies is the
bane of Europe. Most countries have
reached the straining point in this re-
spect, and unless a remedy is applied
speedily. irretrievable ruin stares them
in the face. Civilizations and Christianity

Reports Show Good Feeling Be
tween Germans and Americans.
WASHINGTON, May Simultaneous
ly with the publication of Admiral
Kautzs report advices have been re-
ceived here from Apia. by way of Ger
many, proving that the AmeIi-an ad-
miral and the Americans in general, have
acted with marked considera ton and
courtesy towards the Germans in Sa-
moa. This attitude was all the mO.e
gratifying to the Germans as it was in
direct contrast to the policy pursued by
the British commander and COnSulS.
While the English raised difficulties in
the granting of passports to Germans de-
SirouS of passing the lines and would not
even let the German consul general pass.
the Americans readily granted passports
to every respectable German as far as tire
American lines were concerned. More
over, Admiral Kautz caused an order To
let all German officers and men in uni
form pass the lines at any time without
subjecting them to any molestation. Ths
behavior of the American outposts, part
of whom We're COMMUNICATIONS was
on the whole most praiSeworthy and all
that could be desired, say the German adj
vices, which also note that Admiral
Kautz exercised a restraining influence
on Capt Sturdee. This officer informed
the representative of the German firm.
Ridel. on March 10, that he would fire
without any previous warning into the
house of the firm if Mataafa and his
men should approach it, but on being
notified of Admiral Kautz's promise not
to fire over Apia said he would consider
the promise of Admiral Kautz as binding
upon himself.
1t is gratifying to note that the per-
sonal intercourse between the command
ers and officers of the various men-of-
war was at no time disturbed. All of
the officers expressed a desire not to
have anything to do with the Samoan
question. Friendly relations continue
also between the American and German
consuls general.

The resumption of he Mazet inyesti-

To ask a man in Mayor Van Wvck,s

Diggings Said to Contain Fabulous
Wealth at Cape Nome.

TACOMA. Wash, May 16.-Full con-
firmation of the finding of new gold dig
gings of fabulous richness at Cape Nome
Alaska, have been received. Letters from
owners of claims there contain the state
ment that the country is twice as big as
the Klondike and that 5000 per day was
taken without sluice boxes. Three men
using rocker and one shoveling took
out $163 in one day. Six men with two
rockers took 1920 out of Anvil and Snow

entire crew. Thousands of miners will

Pretty American Debutantes Intro
duced by Mrs. ChOate.
LONDON, May 16.-In spite of shOwery
weather large crowds of people gathered
in St. James Park today in order to see
the carriages containing people bound to
the queens drawing room at Bucking-
ham palace. They began arriving before
noon, and when they were allowed to
take places, at l o'clock, a double line
had already been stretched from the pal
ace to the Horse Guards parade, and an
other from the palace along Buckingham
palace road to Victoria railroad station.
The usual eagerness to reach the palace
was due 70 the hope of the debutantes
of being received by the queen person
ally, as generally her majesty only re-
ceives the diplomats and the first few of
the general company, and then turns
over the duty of receiving to one of her
daughters. The queens presence also
was the occasion for an unusually large
assemblage of the members of the diplO-
matte corps. The great display of state
carriages and gorgeous lIveries delighted
the OnlOokerS.

FIND BEAVER GUILTY
ONLY TOOK JURORS TWENTY MIN
UTEs TO AGREE ON A
VERDICT
HIS PLEA WAS HIS IGNORANCE

Raaen Took the Stand and Tried tn
Save His COmpanion-said He
Had Given Beaver Some of the
Money, but Did Not Tell Him HOW
He Came I'm Possession of It-Wiu
Be Sentenced Saturday.
1t took the jury in the case of Edward
Beaver but twenty minutes to arrive at
the conclusion that the youth was gull
ty of receiving stolen property as charged
in the Indictment
The case occupied nearly the entire dav
before Judge Lewis, and the test'm ony.
aside from that offered by the officers
of the police department, went to show
that Beaver was youth of good repute
and did not know that his chum. Charles
haaen, had assaulted and robbed Michael
Treacy of 1871 on the night of April 1.
Raaen. who pleaded guilty to the rob
berry and was recently sentenced to eight
years in the penitentiary, took the stan1
and testified that he had given Beaver
$40 of the money he secured from the rob-
berry the same night it occurred, but he
did not tell him how he had come in POI
session of it. The next day he gave
Beaver $40 more, but even then id not
tell him he had robbed Treacy
A number of witnesses, including the
father of the prisoner testified to his
good character and conduct, but the jury
were not able to see the connection in the
same light as Beaver wished On his
own behalf Beaver testified that he had
talked with Raaen short time before
the robbery and had ATTEMPTED to Der-
suade him not to engage in it. He also
testified that he did not know that the
money Raaen gave him in the two days
following the robbery was a part of the
stolen cash.
Sentence will be passed on Beaver prob
ably on Saturday. Under the code he
can be sentenced to not less than six
months nor more than five years. As he
is only twenty years of age it is likely
he will receive a reformatory sentence.

United States Commissioner Hahn.
1t is said that shortly after his arrest
the first time, Bogert deposited in local
bank the sum of $500 in order to
straighten his account with the govern
ment. The authorities claim that at the
time of his arrest hB owed the govern
ment this amount. and the fact that he
paid it back subsequent to his arrest on
the first charge did not obviate the liza
bility to arrest on the charge of embezzle-
ment.
