Grasping at Spoiis of Conquest.

The United States declared and waged the Spanish war for the single purpose, solemnly avowed to the world, of emancipating Cuba from op- pression and giving its people the blessing of free and independent gov ernment.
 Two years after its close is presented the spectacle of the victor grasping at spells of conquest holding the gem of the Antilles in state of vassalage, wrangling over the administration ot Porto Rico, and still pouring out blood and treasure Tn struggle to subju- gate twelve million Malays on the other side of the globe.
 Under the misleading cry of national expansion the government has set upon the highway ofimperialism, as perilous as it is foreign to the tra- ditions and principles of the nation. Contrary to these, it is seeking to force the annexation of far eastern archipelago and to impose upon it's people at the cannon's mouth sov- ereignty against which they rebel.
 Thus do the Filipinos whose high cot aspiration now, as when under the Spanish yoke. is liberty find in the United States an enemy as relentless as Spain and one striving as sternly as Spain did to force US government upon them in violation of the boasted American principle that the consent of the governed is the corner stone of republican government.
 What is the result? The war is still on, an American army is in the field ten thousand miles away, the Philip pine problem yet presses for solution; we still have a white elephant on our hands. - New York Herald.

A COMPLICATED SITUATION,

While late advices from China are more pacific, and allege that the i'm perial government is doing what 1t can to put down the instruction and pro tect foreign residents in China, these assurances are given little credence outside of official circles at Washing ton. The message purporting to come from Minister Conger showing that the legationers were still alive, though h desperate straits, is not believed to be authentic at London or in the capitals of Europe. A suspicious circumstance IS that the message bore no date, and the opinion that it was sent from Pekin on July Is is mere assumption. It might have been written by Minister Conger prior to the reported massacre of the foreign legationers, or the United States cipher code may have fallen into the hands of the Chinese officials and they have indicted the message and subscribed Conger's name thereto. The state department has made favor able answer to the appeal ofthe Chinese emperor for mediation, and awaits the acceptance or rejection of our terms and positive assurance of the welfare of the legationers before taking any further steps The doubt is not con- cealed at Washington that the chances for successful mediation are slight. Meanwhile there appears to be no unity among the allied forces at Tien- Tsin, and no hope is entertained that the advance of the relief expedition will begin before August l5.

FOR PRESIDENT WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN FOR vlcE-PREsioENT. ADLAI E, STEVENSON,

The agitation of the question of the poll tax law in relation to the election franchise is unfortunate, as it IS seriously hindering registration. While the law may be obnoxious to many, still there seems to be no question of its constitutionality, and it can only be annulled by the legislature. 4 simi- lar law is on the statute books of sev- eral states and its constitutionality has been upheld by the courts.

Flagstaff Ice Caves.

The ice famine which has prevailed in Flagstaff for the past few days was in measure broken the first of the week by getting d supply of ice from the Ice Caves. nine miles southwest of this place. The ice taken out of these caves is of very fine quality. being frozen very hard and is slow to melt. It is certainly one of Nature's greatest wonders to find tons of good ice stored in these caves in the middle of July. The ice being so solid and hard at this time, and this being the warmest season ever experienced in Flagstaff, is evidence that the ice in these remarkable caves never melts. These ice caves are wonder well worth seeing. Whether the ice from these caves will be extensively used by our citizens or not has not been de- termined. The quality is apparently alright but the distance and task of getting 1t out may be too great for the profit. However, some of our enter prising citzeps may take hold of the proposition a.id make it profitable. Gem.
 Neglect is the short step so many take from cough or cold to consump- tion. The early use of One Minute Cough Cure prevents consumption. It is the only harmless remedy that gives immediate results. It cures all throat and lIng trouble. Children all like it and mot hers endorse it. H C Hitch cock

CUBAN ANNEXATION
Secretary Root Does Not Think it
Likely to Occur.

Washington, July Is. = Secretary
Root to-day in discussing the coming
constitutional convention in Cuba, ex-
pressed himself quite positively on the
question of annexation. In reply to a
question he said that the subject Of
annexation, or any other subject for
that matter, might be brought up be-
fore the convention, but what in his
opinion Cuban annexation, if it came
at all, was not imminent just now
Said he:
My own experience in Cuba leads
me to believe that the desire for indie
pendence is both strong and general
among the people. 1 do not think they
want annexation, even supposing that
we want them. Under the congress
Sional declaration We are in honor
bound to give them independence first.
If, subsequently, they want annexa-
ton, it is a matter for them TO deter
mine; but it should be determined
when they are in position absolutely
independent of US. Even then, as /
have suggested, it is a case where it
takes two to make a bargain"

1t is understood upon good authority
that the Beers have employed armed
natives. Two OF the natives leaped

MINISTER WI WILL TRY TO GET ONE

der OF All Foreigners I'm the Legations
at Pekin-Srreets of Tien Tsin Raked
by Chinese Artillery-No Definite
News Received-Plans for Laying an
International Cable TO Expediare the
Securing of News.

Washington, July 13.-The Chinese
minister Mr.. WI, has undertaken 10
get through a cipher cable message
from Secretary Hay to United States
Minister Conger, at Pekin, and to de-
iiver back the reply of Minister Con-
ger If he is alive. Mr.. WI forwarded
the cipher dispatch together with an
extended explanatory message of his
!. own. on Wednesday, and h results
are being now awaited by Secretary
Hay and the Chinese minister, al
though it is appreciated that some days
must elapse before runners can carry
out this plan of opening up commun-
ication between the American govern
ment at Washington and the American
minister at Pekin.
II was soon after Minister WI pre-
scented the text of edict issued by the
Chinese imperial government that Mr..
Hay requested him to get through a
message to Minister Conger. Since the
Chinese government has succeeded in
getting through its own communlca-
ton from Pekin, Mr.. Hay felt that 1t
was quite reasonable TO ask that ike
communication be opened our
minister and the government mere.
Mr.. WI readily aSSented TO this pro-
position.
Mr.. Hay thereupon wrote the mes
sage, and had it translated into the
official cipher of the state department.
The contents were o made known 10
Minister WI, but in its unintelligible
cipher form, it was entrusted to him 10
be placed in the hands of Minister Con-
ger at the earliest possible moment.
Mr.. WI determined to act through the
medium of an influential imperial Of
ficer at Shanghai, who by reason of
his position, is better able than any
one else in China to execute such a
mission. Besides forwarding the mes
sage to Minister Conger, Mr.. WI sent
to the Chinese official a detailed and
urgent explanatory message In winch
was set forth the imperative import
ance of performing this service for the
American government. The official was
| urged to spare no effort or any other
expense in forwarding the message by
carriers, runners, or n other means
into the hands of Minister Conger, and
to use like means in getting back the
answer to the American government.
Two days have elapsed since the mes
sage to Mr.. Conger went forward and
it is confidently believed that II Is no"
on it's way from Shanghai to Pekin.
Paris, July 13.-The Chinese minister
here has communicated to M. de Case,
the minister of foreign affairs, an inn
perial message, dated June 18th. To
this NJ. del Case has replied that since
the Chinese government had the means
to communicate with its representa-
| tives abroad it ought to guarantee
communica tions between the foreign
powers of their representatives al
| Pekin. and he has, therefore, charged
| the Chinese minister to transmit a tel
egram to NJ. Pinchon, h French min
| lister TO China.
