as be already has trouble on his bands to
convince the Radicals that, after living
thirty years in America, he is not more
American than Cuban, and more devoted 10
annexation than to independence: In spite
OF these requests, however, it is the opinion
Of the most disipterested army men that the
thing for the United States to do is to cut
free entirely, take away all forces except
these which are necessary to garrison the
naval stations, aud then, later, when the
native government Is in operation, 'smake q
new deal". This process would, they believe,
end the epoch of Intervention with GER
tain of it's obligations, and whatever lack,
want, or need arises in the new time anC
under the new conditions could be dealt
with as new problem, not a continuation
of the old. These officers look upon it as
desirable that we should leave, even when
sscutting loose," few American officers in
the principal fertilization, for with an 18th
mian Canal which is American, and with
European nations frequently in trouble with
Central and South American countries
with Germany biding her time regarding
Venezuela--it would, they assert, be against
the interes! Of the United States to leave
Cuban strongholds without some one wht
would represent American interests. This
is not the official views; so far as one msy
learn the Official inclination, it goes muct
farther.

ing devised q system Of working relations
between employers and employees in the
building trades Of Boston which has pre-
vented any strikes in those trades for .
number of years. He has presented the
scheme to nearly oil of the many employers'
associations, and in every case has secured
their cordial approval. 1t is now being
submitted formally to all OF the labor unions
in the various trades, and as many Of their
leaders have individually endorsed the idea,
it is hoped that these bodies acill also accept
II. In that case it should be possible to
put 1t in operation during the present year.
Il is not well to be too sanguine that
any plan will Immediately put an end to ell
troubles in any trade, and especially in SO
large a group Of trades as is here involved
But there is warrant for great encourage
n.ent that o scheme which appears 90
reasonable and practicable should have been
devised, and that 60 much progress should
have been made toward carrying it out.
This progress is in itself sign that public
opinion is enforcing its growing deTand
that industrial war must cease.

Cattle Beers Bre9tVOrks
How Burghers Attempted To Rush
1 British Line at Botha's Berg

New York, March 1Oth.-Accord.
ing to advices from Lendon the
attack by 600 Beers driving cattle
before them in rushing the outpost
line near Botha's Berg, Transvaal
Colony, on the night of March 8,
when some of the Beers got through
was most determined. They were
led by two wellknown fighters, Ross
Hand and Mamie Botha. When
the Beers realized that their attempt
actually to break through tie wire
fences was frustrated, they crouched
|besiie the dead cattle with which
the ground was thickly stlewn and
from taat defense poured a heavy
fire on the British troops. The
fusillade was steadily re'urned, and
finally many Of ths Beers were
driven back, leaving fiftee en- dead and
six wounded on the field. They
also left ITO dead or wounded
horses and the entire heard OF 6 900
cattle.
The British line at the point at.
tackled was held by the columns
commanded by Lieut. Col. Julian
Byng and Major Michael F. Rim
ington. The brunt of the fighting
fell on a force Of New Zealauders
attached 10 one of the columns. The
British lost two officers and eighteen
men killed and had five officers and
thirty three men wounded.

Should the United States decide to use
the Panama route for the isthmian canal
there will be an immediate revival OF the
plan to construct the Nicaragua canal by
q private corporation, acting as has been
the case in former years, under q csnces'
sion from the government of Nicaragua.
The Nicaragua route is the nearest TO this
country by several hundred miles, and. il
built, will be, for that reason, the main
commercial highway between the Atlantic
and Pacific. But if the United States Sc
lects the Nicaragua line it is safe to say
that no competing canal will be made. The
Panama route soill remain the monumental
failure 1t is noio. If ever constructed, il
qcould be too far away to interfere with
the great tide Of American traffic ct Mica

parallsled some time, for the Nicarsgus

pnblic and the faith Of capitalists to bt

come to read the regulations there is nothing
very explicit or precise about all tkese

the Goths, Vlsigoths, Romans, and Moors,

In Spain, the impression you get from many

judges is unduly large.
