REPORTS ARE NOT CONFIRMED.
Washington Has Heard Nothing of
burning of Legations.

Burning of Legations.
Washington, June 16.-Nothing has been
heard here from any official source to
confirm the alarming reports of the de-
struction of the embassies and legations
in Pekin, and in view of the fact that
the government itself is not able to open
communication with the scene of the
troubles, the officials are inclined to
doubt whether private enterprise could do
more. In other words they do not believe
the report.
Minister WI of the Chinese legation
here called at the siate department to-
day. but he declared that he was without
any advice from his own government, and
said that his visit to Secretary Hay had
reference to a personal matter.
The report OF the destruction of the en-
bassies and legations at Pekin was fol-
lowed by many kilograms asking the state
department for information. Some Of
these came from Iowa, the home OF Min
lister Conger, and some from friends and
re atives of the other persons connected
wi the United STATES legation at Pc
kin.
Mrs. Baldwin sister of Minister Conger,
called in person at the department to in
quire into the truth of the story. The de-
partment was obliged to make answer in
each case that 1t had no news and that
IL could not confirm the report. 1t was
apparent that the officials did not be-
lieve that the United States legation had
been burned, and they were only sorry
that they could not make denial upon
authority.
1t is said at the state department that
according to the last reports there were
at the Uni ed States legation besides Mr..
Conger, his wife, his daughter, at least
one lady visitor: secretary of legation

Cuba ana the Fourth otJuIv.


The program drawn up by
Alexis Fr"e for the celebration OF
the Fourth OF July at the Summer
School OF Harvard University,
when Cuba's teachers are to be the
guests OF that institution and olthe
nation, is decidedly suggestive OF
bathos, under existing conditions,
unless irony be intended. The
proposal that "the school children
hear the story of the centuries
OF struggle" and that we "teach
them to sing the Cuban words OF
the BaYames hymn as heartily as
the American words of the ''Star
Spangled Banner" contrasts i'll
with our daily Characterization in
the American press of those same
patriots as bandits, loafers, and
"niggers" generally, in distinction
from the select few whites who Tor
some sinister reason may desire
annexation to the United States.
But in view Of the recent legisla-
ton, converting Porto Rico iato a
crown colony OF an imperial repub-
lie, and OF the Presidents chame-
leon performances concerning"our
plain duty" what will the Cubans
be likely to think OF the following:
In the evening Of independence day
lsic) let the fires light up the Cuban flag
intertwined with the Stars and Stripes;
then let the Cuban teachers carry into
their dreams the glowing picture of
Columbia holding Cuba by the hand,
and welcoming her into the fold of the
worlds republics.
Cuba has seen a sister island
taken by the hand. and clearly
recognizes that it is into the fold
OF the wolfin sleeps clothing that
she is to be led. Surely the net
is spread in vain in the sight Of
any bird" Cuba has seen the
consequence Of accepting the en-
brace Of the fostering mother OF
republics and stepmother Of de-
fenceless undergraduates. "Be-
nevolent dissimhation," as it has
been aptly termed, is not for her.
Nor does she seem eager to be-
come the dupe Of our treacherous
promises regarding equal rights,
privileges and immunities.

McKinley's popularity having

Vice President who might catch

Now Mckinley and Bliss would

Mckinley and Long would read
more agreeably if it were McKin-

Cannon, that would be the ideal
