of prominent citizens of ST. Louis
called at the White House and in an
interview with the president explained
what had been done thus far in the in
terest of an exposition at ST. Louis in

that they expected to secure from pri-
vate subscriptions at least $4,000, 900,
an appropriation of as much more by
the city of ST. Louis and at least $5,-
o0O,O as loan or otherwise from the
national congress, making an absolute
guarantee of 100000 in all, other
wise they would give up the enter

Hon. Robert p. Porter says that the
entire policing of Cuba should be done
by the Cubans themselves. The real
police work is, in fact, now in the
hands of Cuban soldiers, and law and
order are well maintained. There
should not be moments delay in the
organization and equipment of these
civil guards.
The Madrid correspondent of the
London Standard says that the delay
in the ratification of the peace treaty
by the American senate is causing
much Impotence and anxiety in Spain,
because it fosters political agitation
and retards settlement of financial
and economical questions.
