Change of Sentiment in Committee Re-

There has been change OF sentiment
in the Senate Committee on Military Az

will be favOrably reported TO the Senate
at an early day.
The opposition of General Miles. which
was brought to the surface in such

draw the attention OF Senators to Secre-

tically of Cuba that she permit herself
TO be annexed to the United States is a
practical repudiation of all the promises
W, ever made to Cuba and a stultification
OF patriotism and common sense.
When Cuba gets ready TO come we will
recognize what the President said at
Charleston last night in the best speech
he ever made. We VIII recognize that
she stands in a different relation to US
from any other foreign country and we
will deal with her to the best interests
of the people of that country and to the

Mr. Weeks Makes Answer.
MIR. Weeks Rep. Mich.) opposed the
bill. He said that the basis for the de-
mand upon this House for enacting the
proposed legislation was too fimsy to be
worthy of consideration. II had it's origin
in the desire of the Cubans to get some
thing for themselves.
That band OF emissaries that came from
Cuba which had the interview with Presi-
dent Mckinley in which IL was asserted
that the President promised to give them
the relief asked. Mr.. Weeks said, went

interview. He knew that the President
not only had not made the promise
claimed. but everyone knew as well that
he could not make 1t. Congress had no
right to legislate for the benefit of any
people except the people OF the United
States.
Mr.. Thayer Dem, Mass. DO you think
,he Republicans are sent here to pass
Jaws IN opposition to the desires cf the
President?
Mr. Weeks-The President has no more
right to tell Congress what laws II must
pass than We have TO tell him whom he
must appoint to his Cabinet.
The speaker plaintively asked what ne
vas TO do: how, in view of the present
n ttitude OF the leaders of the Republican
organization. he could explain their form

Mr. Landls tRep., IndD-Has IT occur

Approval of the bill was declared by
Mr. Lawrence (Rep.. Mass.) largely for
tie reason that the United States was
under a moral obligation TO Cuba to grant
the relief proposed.

lives that Cuba might be free. and we

guided by the chart that he followed In

therefrom.
General Grosvenor had said that when
a reduction of so per cent was proposed.
he said no; when II was made at 40 per

Buried History,

From Country Life in America.
Even in country so recently conscious
of the past own there are buried
cities awaiting the pickax of the historian.
OF these none is, perhaps, more interesting.
certainly none is more picturesque, more
colonial, and-even today-more English
than old Williamsburg in Virginia-that
Middle Plantation" which in 1852 was
laid out and paled," to become a chartered
city, the capital of a great colony under
king and crown. Its three streets Of the
reign Of William and Mary are its only
thoroughfares and two back streets,
hardly more than grass-grown lanes, of to-
day. Duke of Gloucester street. broad and
genially hospitable, stretches leisurely from
the foundations of the ancient capitol build
ing on the east (of whose wall not one brick
is left nor one white pillar of its porticoesD
to the iron turnstile gates of William and
Mary College grounds at the western ex-
tremity of the town. On the right, as one
enters the college gate, is charming man
sion, the residence of the president Of Will
lam and Mary, and upon the left. across
the campus, stands the old Brafferton build
ing. the earliest school for the education of
Indians erected on American soil. In the
time of Governor Spotswood il was neces-
sary to resort to strenuous efforts to insure
attendance. for the students were mainly
hostages. the sons of chiefs Of neutral or
friendly tribes during Indian warfares.

Canned Goods on a Ranch.

From the Century.
1t is amusing enough TO discover that the
cattle rancher. though a thousand cows
come I'D to water at his tanks every day or
two will yet serve condensed milk from
cans that come from New Jersey; that his
beef bears the mark OF Kansas City; that
even his poultry and eggs are imported at
enormous prices from Kansas. His butter
also comes canned. IL it were not for the
patient Chinese gardener, even the best ir-
rigated valleys would be without fresh
vegetables.
But if the southwesterner fails i'm gar
dening he does delight in flowers. vines and
shade trees. They relieve the monotony of
the gray desert and link him with his old
green home in the east. He will let his
fields go thirsty in time of drouth before he
will allow the rose bushes and the pepper
trees in his front yard to suffer. Indeed.
SO industrious has he been in surrounding
himself with shade and verdure that he is
open to criticism for OVERRIDING the matter,
overcrowding his small grounds. An irri-
gated valley town in blossom is a marvel
long to be remembered.

English Live Stock Excluded.

The Argentine government has practically
reclosed its ports to live stock from the
united kingdom but has exempted the
live stock from the United States from the
decree OF prohibition. Mr.. VIM F. Lord.
the United States minister at Buenos Ayres
has made report on the subject to the
State Department. from which il appears
that the action Of the government was
taken on account of the alleged appearance
OF the foot and mouth disease in Kent
county, England. He suggests that United
States dealers carefully observe the Guate-
malan regulations in regard to contagious
disease before shipping live stock to that
country.
