The Mayor, however has vetoed the

we notice that he is willing to give his
support TO the measure, provided the

| II augurs well for Cuba that the
spanlards OF the new republic are join
ing the other part Of the population In
the celebration. They represent a large
percentage OF the business interests.
Now. the Cuban and Spanish colors are
intertwined In the decorations, and this
is a symbol Of the good feelings that
have been engendered during the Amer
lean reign. Even Senior Palma's friends
are said to be surprised by the interest
manifested by the spanIards In the new
republic. The fact Is. however, not go
very strange. Spanards have no par
ticular reason for looking back with
pride upon the Spanish rule OF Cuba.
They were taxed TO the utmost limit,
In order to carry the heavy Cuban debt,
and provide wealth for Spanish ofll-
Gals Besides, republican sentiment Ia
quite strong among spanlards.
President Palma has repeatedly an
nounced that his policy will be one OF
lmpartiallty. For Offices he will select
the best men, without regard to race
or previous conditions, This gives the
spanlards an equal chance with the
Cubans and that is presumably all they
ask

A WISE CONCESSION.

II IL gratifying to the people Of Sal
Lake county. with but very few ex
captions, that the Supreme Court o
Utah has granted the application for
rehearlng Of thecase Of Salt Lake city
OF al, against the Salt Lake City waite
and Electric Power Company ct al de
cided a short time ago in favor of th'
latter.
The history Of jurisprudence fur
nlshes many precedents for this re-
opening Of matter decided by ma
jority OF the court. II IL quite pos
sibie that important points presented
ut the first hearing may not have been
made sufficiently prominent, and also
that others may have been kept meas
urably in the background and further
that new light may be shed upon the
whole subject involved, and thus a re-
hearing may be fully justified and In
deed essential TO the ends Of justice.
As the Deseret News stated when the
decision was rendered, courts are not
infalllbe. and II is within the bounds
Of possibility that they may OCCASION
ally err This reflects no dlshonor or
opprobrlum upon the judges, for there
is no person living In mortality who Is
perfect, and even the Supreme court
Of the United States has In some In
stances reversed its own rulings.
Tho interests involved In the case un-
der consideration are OF such value and
moment, as to warrant the very closest
judicial investigation. We do not mean
by this that the court has not already
given TO II intelligent and unbiased at
tention. But we simply suggest the
possibility, that under further informa-
tlon and citation OF authorities and a
clearer and more thorough explanation
Of the whole matter, the court may see
* to modify or change some Of the
conclusions at which 1t arrived on the
first presentation Of the cause.
We are pleased TO see that even per-
sons who objected to our dissent from
some OF the courts opinions. agree with
us on the propriety and wisdom Of
granting the request for a rehearlng.
The News in taking a position SINH
lar to that Of the dissenting justice,
meant no disrespect TO the majority OF
the court. and does not think that diff
fering with supreme judges is an i'm
pertinence, or necessarily signifies lack
OF courtesy or Of regard for their ex.
allied position In this republic every
official act Is open to public criticism
and the people, who are sovereign, and
the newspapers which speak for and to
them, have the incontrovertible right
TO express views and sentiments I'D.

ties in the State or the nation, we

States. An address also was made by the
Rev. DR.. L. A. Delury, president of Villa
nova. All the addresses were delivered in
Latin. The prior general, in replying to the
welcome, among other things said:
Throughout all time the governments Of
the world have appealed to the sovereign
pontiff as a peacemaker. The American
government has appealed to him, and right
ly so, to settle the troubles in the Philip
pines. We have no. fear Of the outcome.
Prejudice and cant must be put aside, and
the facts only considered. God-fearing men
will do right and justice.
Unfortunately, nearly all the statements
furnished from abroad to the American
press on the friar question are filled with
calumny and mendacity in regard to the
friars in the island. We do not blame the
Philippine commission for any of the opin-
ions that body holds, for we know the in
formation furnished it was mainly obtained
from our enemies, men who have stopped at
nothing to villify and malign our brothers.

American Members Of Augustinians t.

A dispatch from philadelphia yesterday

American priests to those Islands to sue
coed, the Spaniards. ~
The two priests will leave for Manila
within the next two weeks, and will be fol-
eral other American Augustinians. Both
clergymen chosen are distinguished and able
members OF the order. They were selected
from among about dozen volunteers who
offered their services to the prior general

Secretary Moody has entered into a most
thorough investigation to ascertain with
nicely the needs Of our naval establishment.
his purpose being to collect the views Of
the officers Of all branches of the service
and draw from them his recomm endations
to be submitted to Congress. He has issued
instructions to the naval board on con-
struction. headed by Rear Admiral O'Neil.
to look thoroughly into not only the subject
