1t is now the privilege of the American people,
who went TO war to free Cuba, to demand and
learn why Spain was asked to sell Cuba and was
not asked to make Cuba free. The correspondence
as published in the Red book is far from COM
pletc. There are too many omissions indicated
by asterisks. There are too many letters kept
back. Mr.. Woodford's report to Mr.. Day that
lie is seeking to buy the island stands ont clear
and plain, well as his request for authority to
continue to prcss his demand for sale What
was Mr.. Days reply? Will the present secretary
OF state tell US? Will congress demand the in
formation?
No one in the senate knew that the demand
for sale of Cuba was being made-unless it was
Senator Teller, who seems to have known it

in favor of Cuban independence.

the Spanish ministers learned unmistakably what
Mr.. Woodford's desire and determination was,
they had a right to feel sure, and did feel

Of the American people, president, and congress.
Mr. Woodfod told them plainly what his position
was.
Q.) Opposition to increased autonomy under

been almost unbalanced, mentally, to press these
views upon Spain without the slightest authority
from home. Yet that Is what he did. The
Spanish queen and ministers had to meet him upon
his own ground. They had no alternative pre-.

they acted with dignity and honor, "Whatever
else we do, we will not be mercenary; we will
not sell for money" the queen and the ministers

Spain's Refusal Justified.

II is easy to discriminate between the effect
upon the Spanish mind Of demand from us for
| the independence of Cuba and the feeling aroused
| by demand that the island should be sold to US.
| To expect Spain to yield to the latter demand
was absurd. After tho lofty ground which she
| had always maintained, IL was an utter impos.
sibility that the proud queen should como down
| to vulgar bargain and sale OF the island to a
government, however great and powerful, which
was threatening her with war for purpose 80
selfish and mcrcenary. She had subdued her
pride in q great measure; she recalled General
Weyler, she yielded to every other demand made
upon her-the repeal Of the reconcentrado orders
with permission to the United States to send food
and supplies to her avowcd enemies--and, without
any request from the insurgents she proclaimed
an armistice and stopped her war against her
| rebel subjects. What other one thing de.
| manded Of herP This: that she should sell Cuba
for money to the United States. This she could
not bring herself to do; and rightly refused to
do.
But il different appeal had been courteously
| and considerably made, the queen might have
yielded to one more request: declaration OF
freedom and independence to all her subjects in
the Ever Faithful Isle. She could have done
this act graceful and noble; in a proclama-
ton such as England might and will send forth
granting independence to Canada and Australia
whenever those great colonies ask for indepen-
dence. Such an act of the Spanish queen sending
Cuba out into the family Of Independent nations
would have been greeted with generous epprecia.
tion and hearty approval by the great mass of her
people at home and by the world abroad. Free
Cuba would have voluntarily assumed large
portion of the public indebtedness Of the mother
country, and Spain would have stood more adj
mircd than ever before By the nations Of the
earth But to sell Cuba for money to hostile
and threatening nation? No! No! Spain could
not do that; and we cannot but respect the
queen and senor Moret for repcng the dis
honorng proposition Of Minister WoodGord.

CHAMBER
CAN TAKE
ACTION
Another Proposition In
Which the Chamber
Can Do Good

We are in receipt of the following communica-
ton from Henry I. Seemann, president and general
manager of the Yankee Consolidated Mining and
Milling company. This is one of the largest COM
panies operating in the Northern part of the county
and has for the past eight months been conducting
its development work and tunnel enterprise on an
extensive basis. The communication in full is
follows:
DEAR SRI was at the Springs Saturday and
called on you at your offices but you were not in.
I wish particularly to speak to you about the road
from Cumberland Gulch up to our Lombard prop
critics. 1t is about one-half mile in length and it is
one of the toughest pieces of road in the country
but by very little repairing the same can be fixed
and place us in communication with Idaho Springs.
We have over thirty thousand tons of ore blocked
out and preparing to ship great deal OF
smelling ore as well concentrates from our mill,
but we are unable to do unless the road is fixed
and fixed without delay. They have good roads
everywhere except where ore is located. would
be pleased if you would send me the of the
county commissioners that 1 may correspond
with them and call it to their attention"
We believe the matter to which Mr.. Seemann
calls attention in his letter is that should in
terest the members of the chamber of commerce
and the business and mill men of the city and
district as we'll. 1t is undoubtedly true that Mr..
Seemann will be obliged to mill some of his ore
here and it is worth something to have the business
of that section diverted to its proper channel
which is down Fall River to Idaho Springs. The
members of the chamber of commerce do
something for Idaho Springs in this case and they
did so well in the other road matter in that section
that we believe they should take the matter up.
Mr.. Seemann's efhce is at So3 Equitable build
ing and he would be pleased to lay any further
facts in connection with the matter before the peo
pie of our commercial body here before the
county commissioners. If the county does not feel
that it could undertake the task Idaho Springs
could undoubtedly do

Fourth OF July Excursions.

Already people are beginning to arrive in the
city for the purpose of attending the big ceiebra-

Elaborate preparations under way for the
entertainment of all who enter gates, and
specials will be run without number and regard to

state and the greatest crowd in the history of the
city will be here.
F. A. Moss of the transportation committee
nounces that he has made arrangements with the
Colorado & Southern, and that the corporation has
generously agreed to look after the vast throng
which promises to be present.
Central City promises to turn out more people
than any other one place. Two special trains will
will arrive in the city the morning of the Fourth
and Fifth from that city, and all those who desire
to return to their homes in the evening will be
accommodated. The trains will make the return
trip each day, and the company promises that there
will be no delay caused in making transfer at the
junction This in itself is enough to insure large
delegation from our sister town.
Silver Plume and Georgetown were not forgot
ten in this most important matter, and the railroad
company will run special trains to these towns
each evening Thus it can be seen that the visit
