Christmas Words To The Senate.

In her late fare aceii address from the
throne as Queen Regent Dona Christina
Of Spain, fused the following thoughtful
words:
"TDe task Which instances impose
upon US at home is arduous and complca-
ted. 1t is indispensable to make reforms
in all our social organization, to renew and
give life to our methods of government, to
give fresh impulse and development to
education and national resources and TO
consolidate our finances" Further on the
royal speech lays stre~ upon the fact that
''lhe labor is complicated, the task difficult,
the way long. The country, with 1ncha
llenged unanimity, demands Of the Parlia
ment the satisfaction of its many and long
postponed aspirat'',s; my Government will
concert the me-. # satisfying then and

Cuba Making Progress.
The Country Is Tranquil

Cuba is making preliminary progress. to-
ward its own government faster than seems
to be understood in the United States
Because the constitutional convention has
not been holding regular sessions an idea
has got abroad that its work is at a
standst:ll. This is not so. The convention
took what amouuted to a recess, and some
of its members came to the United States,
while special committee was engaged in
drafting the electoral law under which the
new government will be put into operation,
says the New York, advertiser. The reports
now are that the draft of the law will be
submitted to the convention early in July,
and probably will be adopted after fer
days discussion. This is all in accordance
with the original programme achich con-
templated holding the first elections in Oc-
tober. The understanding that they would
not be held until that time was one Of the
reasons which caused the convention to take
such leisurely course in its consideration
OF the Platt amendment. 1t also caused
the Cuban public to remain tranquil.

Mutual Charges Are Made.
Savage Dogs of War.

A blue book was issued last week giving
the correspondence between Lord Roberts
and the Boer authorities on the subject OF
the destruction of property. The Presidents
of the Transvaa and Orange Free State,
on February 3, 1900, protested against "the
destruction and devastation of farms by bar.
barans, encouraged by British officers, and
by white brigands, contrary to the usageS
Of war;" Later Gems. Botha and De Wet
made similar complaints of the "Godless
barbarities and atrocities of the British and
their robber. patrol"
Lord Roberts replied in similar vein
to all the protests, declaring that the Brit
ish did not encourage the barbarians, but
that the burning Ct farm buildings was ne.
c. ssitated by treacherous shooting of the
British from farm houses, and the wreck
ing of trains, and accusing tie Beers of
wanton destruction and guerrilla tactics,
which he was compelled to repress by ex-
ceptional measures always employed by
civilized nations in like circumstances.

It Is Dry IN Mexico.
Crops Are Much Endangered.

A severe drought which prevails throug.
hout MEXICO is going to cause immense in
jury to agriculture and indirectly to all bu-
siness except mining. The rainfall last year
was unusually light, and as a consequence
water was needed more an ever this year.
In some districts where irrigation is not
possible, the ground has been unwatered
since last year. and the prospects for corn
are even worse. In good years Mexico raj
ses just about enough corn for home con-
sumption. This year there is every reason
to believe that large importatlons will have
to be made from the Unified States.
