MIR. CLEVELAND'S VIEWS
He Is SAID to Deplore Deeply Com
ditiOns an Democratic Partg.
my telegraph to The Tribune ]


Omaha, May 11-George l. Miller, editor of
The Omaha Herald" and long a Democratic
national committeeman, has just returned from
New York. where he had long talk with ex-
President Cleveland.
Il called on Mr.. Cleveland at his Office in
New York, and we had long and a pleasant
talk" said Mr.. Miller. "I found the ex-Presi-
dent in fine condition physically and mentally.
his health good. his mind clear. and his cOnvic-
tions as finn and steady as in the old days Mr.
Cleveland deeply deplores the existing socialistc
tendencies now observable in this country, and
he especially deplores conditions that exist at
this time in the Democratic party.
mfr. Cleveland's pre-eminence is attested
everywhere, and his opinions sought by
conservative men. While he is reserved in his
utterances. there is mistaking the cOnvic-
tions he holds regarding the existing agitatiOns
now stirring the country. He believes that
evils should be cured but believe I correctly
interpret him when I say that while he would
go 10 the root OF those evils. he does not be-
Ieve in agtations misleading many in the di
rectlon Of dangerous policies for state and
tiOnal government"

BURTON DENIES. REPORT
Says Taft Has Taken No Stand IN
Contest for Senator.

Cleveland, May 1L-Congressman Theodore
z Burton gave out the following statement to-
Gay:
An erroneous report has gone forth to the
effect that Secretary William II. Taft has said
20 me by telephone that he desired the eliInina-
ton Of Senator Joseph b. Foraker from politics.
He has enever made any such statement. He
has conscientiously refused, however to enter
into any deal under which he should have the
support OF the Republicans for the Presidency,
and in consideration therefor Mr. Foraker
should be indorsed for the SenatorShip. Such
arrangement would SAVIOR Of a political bar
gain and would awaken criticism. because the
two are supposed TO represent different ideas,
especially in regard TO the policies Of the ad-
rinstration of President Roosevelt.
50 far as I know. none OF the friends Of Sec
retary Taft has advised asked him to take
any part in any contest for the Senatorship in
the state. nor has he expressed any intention to
do so.

tion Of the Borough Presidents Office which set
on foot by Mayor Mcclellan. has been prose-
cuted by the Commissioners Of Accounts for
| about three weeks.
If the Borough President does make clean
sweep 1t means that four Tammany district
leaders who are now enjoying Fat berths under

clean break from Tammany, because the organf-
cation would not stand for the loss OF this
amount OF patronage

ministration is by cutting away from the poll
ticians and running his Office on a purely busl-
ness basis in the future.
Commissioner Of Public Works William Dalton
who is leader OF the 9th District IS the first man
slated to go. Under him are the heads of the
various bureaus. In his place will be put a man
to be picked out for his business ability rather
than any political connection and he will have
orders TO reconstruct the entire Department of
Public Works. with the various deputies. secre-
tares and other men not under the protection

They will not be ruined by the agita-

burst of hostility toward the railways
and adverse litigation should come just
at a time when the railroads are con-
fronted with the necessity OF securing
vast amounts OF money In order 10

will be obliged TO expend Just as much

order TO take care Of the business now
in sight Tor them. They can not let
their lines deteriorate or stop making
Improvements, for there Is insight to-
day enough business to keep all the

Improvements and extensions, howev-
er. will be limited by the ability OF
the railroads to secure men and money
to do the work Some OF the larger
plans for the improvement OF ternin-

may be deferred until general condi-

SPANISH SENSATION.
Charges That Palma Paid United
States Congress to Declare War.

MADRID, Feb. 2S.--A sensation has
been caused here by the publication
0f story credited to the Piaro lie Ia
Marina Of Havana, which purports to
show by documentary evidence that
the United States congress was bought
in 1897 by Tomas Estrada Palma to
ensure war being declared against
Spain. According to the Havana
newspaper bonds to the value of $37,-
100000 redeemable when Cuba should
become independent, were issued in
Washington to Senators and a con-
tract exists which contains phrase
ology like that Of the joint resolution
of April 1888, voted by congress. The
article says further that the value of
the bonds fell heavily In 1899, and
therefore new contract was made
between Palma and the American SEN
ators. Count Salazara, minister Of for
eign affairs, has telegraphed to the
Spanish representative at Washing
ton for the fullest information.

The fact that the discovery occurred

suit that his suspicious were prac-
tically confirmed.
Captain Porter In charge of the To-
cal bureau of the secret service made
report to Mr.. Sims, which demon
strated that a mysterious surveillance
of the actions of his subordinates had
been in progress for a long time.
These employees in Mr.. Sims office
who have been connected with the
Standard Oil cases have been espec-
tally subjected to surveillance. The
snadowing has gone on both night
and day. Mr.. Sims refused to say
positively last night that the men un-
