. THE INTERVIEW IGNORED.
HAVANA Papers Make No Comment
Upon the Butler-Pettigrew Talk.

HAVANA. April 2.-The interviews with
Senators Butler and Pettigrew published
by the ''Cubano' few days ago have not
drawn forth comment from single Ha-
vana newspaper. Even the "Cubano" this
afternoon refrains from mentioning it. 1t
seems, If many ultra Cuban leaders are to
be believed, that the interviews did not
come as a surprise and its force had been
discounted.
There is a possibility that the price of
meat here will be lowered. Acting Mayor
Estrada Mora is anxious TO break up the
present slaughterhouse monopoly. Twen-
tynine out of the thirty-three slaughter
house are held by a combination of cattle
men under municipal franchise. The
other four are open to the public. but are
unable to supply the demand. Senior Mora
holds that the franchise was Illegally
granted and that its terms are not COM
piled with. He intends. proposing to the
ayuntamiento to throw open all the sec
tons TO the public. II this is accomplished
the price of meat will fall materially.

ignorant people anything not in recog-
nized uniform is more or less suspicious,

a charity bureau, which should be sup
ported and controlled by the city, could
establish institutions where the poor who
are willing to work. or helpless and I'M
able to take care of themselves, could find
shelter and food in case of need, and il
the police were then given authority 10
send there anyone in real distress. there
would be no excuse for anyone's dropping
dead on the street from hunger, 1t may
be humiliating TO accept charity from the
city, but certainly no more so than TO beg
of passers-by.

Senator Cullom of Illinois is a great
'Iogcian. He AYERS that the statutory laws
of the United States, not locally inapplica-
BILE, can extend themselves to Porto Rico,
while the Constitution, without which they
would be without force or effect, cannot
go there except by act of Congress The
humor of the argument lies in the APP
parent belief that any intelligent American
can be found willing to swallow it.

The Tennessee Troubie.-Eyidences
continue to multiply that Mr.. Hanna will
have trouble enough and TO spare with his
Southern delegations at Philadelphia in
the merry month Of June. There will be
contests from nearly every one of the

zenship. Texas led r with this sort of
performance the Green and Grant fac

10 be settled. Not to be outdone by Texas,
Tennessee will have two complete sets
of delegates at the National Convention.
One set will be headed by the Hon. II.
Clay Evans and the other by the Hon.
Walter Preston Brownlow. Both leaders
are loudly proclaiming, to the amazement
and confusion of the credulous Tonnes
seeans, that Mr. Hanna is committed to
each. Mr.. Evans, as Pension Commits
sioner, is supposed TO be particularly close
to the administration, but as long as Mi.
Brownlow is a member OF the House.
with voice and a vote in all legislation,
it is believed he can feel assured of dis
tinguished consideration at the White
House. Mr.. Brownlow has been renomi-
mated by his admiring constituents. and
his district is safely Republican. Mr.
Evans is in trouble with the G. A. r.
veterans. and IL may be that they will
make themselves I.it at the Philadelphia
convention. II they should do so Mr..
Hanna would not dare favor Mr.. Evans
at the expense If Mr.. Brownlow. 1t is
believed Mr.. Mex :aleg will exert his cele-
brated peace making qualities between
these warning factionists before the rati-
ication meeting assemblies at Philadelphia
to the end that G. A. Il. veterans with
grievances, real or imaginary, may be de-
TERED from going there.

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

The DnNi4 RHsiGnauOn.-The Hon.
Webster DaviS resignation, which he ten
dered TO the Presidept yesterday. has been
predicted by The Times ever since the
Assourian suddenly departed for the
Transvaal moSe than two months ago. 1t
was known then that his relations had
been made so Unpleasant by the hectoring
of his chief, Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock. and 6y the constant harass-
ments that came from Pension Commits
sioner Evans, that Mr.. Davis could not,
with self-respect, remain long in the posi-
ton Of Assistant Secretary. He is said to
have appealed to the White House for
relief, but the amiable Mr.. Mckinley
turned his back upon him. Mr.. Davis was
not in accord with Mr.. Hitchcock on I'M
portant matters in the Interior Depart
ment, and he was distinctly opposed to Mr..
Evans conduct of the Pension Office. IN
this he is backed by tens of thousands OF
old soldiers in all parts of the country.
II is believed that certain purposes OF
Secretary Hitchcock touching important
interests connected with the public lands
will now be developed without protest
that Is. as soon as Mr.. Davis resignation
is accepted and a more pliable person is
put in his place Ii is also thought that
the President soon will begin to hear from
the old soldiers, whose interests Mr. Davis
has been trying to protect against what
he has called Commissioner Evans mar
row and cheeseparing policy. What Mr..
Davis political future will be is the sub
ject of varying speculation among his
friends. Some Of them go so far as TO
declare that he will quit the Republican
party and espouse the cause OF Bryan and
the Democracy. II is known that his sym
pathies have never been with the persons
and policies now dominant in the Republic
can party. For a year or more after the
present Administration came into power
Mr.. Davis was petted by Messrs. Mckinley,
Hanna, and their intimates, but 1t seems
certain that they have failed to convert
him to their view of men and measures.
His trip to South Africa, as frequently
stalled by The Times, WIS taken in lieu
of resigning from office, the expectation
being that before he returned all the dlf-
ferences between him and other officers OF
the Administration would be amicably set
tied by the process of elimination But it
appears that more delay than was looked
for has been experienced in carrying out
certain official negotiations in the Interior
Department and on his return to Wash
ington Mr.. Davis only alternative was to
resign. 1t is said that within a short time
he will 60 on a lecture tour of the coun-

pEwEY-s EXPERIENCE

The news rec.ived in the latest papers from the states that Admirll George Dew sv has withdrawn from the presidential race come to the great majority of the peo- pls of this country as the wiseSt act that he could at this time perform. But there was a wiser one that he might have performed and that was to have refused 10 follow the allurinE goddess of lame SO far as to have consented for his name ever to be used in connection with the presidency.
 lt will ever be the opinion of the public however. that the ambition of Mrs. Dewey was directly responsible fOr his action tn agreeing to stand for the presidency. ln his announcement he spoke with no eer> taintv as to whom he wished to tie to, and if straws are an indication, it was not SO much the hope to serve his country. as R vas ,o obtain higher favor from the peo- ole tha, prompted Dewey to declare his ln- tenuon to 20 before the people.
 When he returned triumphant from Ma nllla his cup of glory was running over. he was given all one could wish. and he night have lived until the end ot his days without an eTOr oi sonSeQuence in his publlc life.
