WASHINGTON LETTER.


cidedly interesting story that IS
being tod IN political circles,
saws he does, but that he does
not care to openly support d
movement in that direction.
1t had been generally under
stood that the President and
Secretary Hay wished Congress
to let the CIayton-BuIWer treaty
alone. believing it more deslra-
bic to negotiate a new treaty
with Great Britain that would
supplant il. That was certainly
their attitude when Congress
was in session, and when 1t was
proposed to push d resolution
declaring the Ciayton-Bluwer
treaty abrogated, and it was ad-
1ninisteration influence that pre-
vented the matter being serious
ly taken up in the Senate. The
story referred to above says that
a mum Der Of prOminet republic
can Senators have arrived at the
conclusion that the best way and
the quickest way to let the world
know that we intend to make
that Isthian Canal American all
the way through, is to abrogate
the Clay ton-Bul wer treaty, and
that a resolution SO declaring,
will be offered in the Senate as
soon as Congress assemblies, and
that its adoption is practically
assured, as it will not be opposed
by tle administration. Senator
Lodge is credited with being at
the head Ct this movement.
Look out for fresh outbreak
of the Sampson Schley Contro>
versy. The Naval Board OF
Awards has decided, although
no official announcement has
been made, to put Rear Admir-
al Simpsons head on one side
OF the victory medals that will
be issued by the Navy Depart
ment, ii accordance with an Act
OF Congress, to common crate
the Naval battle of Santiago. It
is understood that the Board |
took the Manila Bay medal
which carries the head Of ADJ
mi1al Dewey, who was IL COM
mand Of the American fleet, for
a precedent. taking the ground
that Admiral Sampson, as Conn
mander of the American fleet
which destroyed Cervera's ships,
is entitled to this honor. The |
anti Sam psonites do not admit
the justice of the precedent. |
They say there is no ground for
com parison, who was ten miles
away from the battle of Santiago,

To the Editor OF the State Journal:
Such outrageous service accorded the

condemnation from every reasona bic

more insult to injury all local freight

goods to customers today which We're

the United States mail delayed in this
manner 1t is putting it mildly to say
that this is outrageous.
