WAR With SPAIN
WAS AN ACCIDENT
Moreton Frewen, an Englishrnan,
Tells How 1t Happened
to BE Fought.

Vancouver Il. c., May 30.-"'rhat
Spain would have rclinquished Cuba
without n war and that the Spanish-
American War was an accident, is,
believe correct" says Moreton Trewen,
of London, Eng, an intimate friend
of the late Julian Pauncefotc, Great
Britains ambassador to the United
States when the Spanish-American
War began.
Mr.. Frewen has issued statement
giving what he purports to be some
secret history in connection with the
beginning of that war, and indicating
that the United States declared war
with Spain with the understanding
that an ultfnaturn had been sent by
President Mckinley, but had not been
answered, when in reality Mr.. Mckin-
ley withheld the ultimatum. Taking
mp the statement of Senator Hale that
President Mckinley was forced into
war by the clamor of the nation, and
that Spain could have been negotiated
off the American continent, Mr..
Frewen proceeds;
Lord Pauncefote, the British am
bassador. was worried into his grave
untimely by cabal engineered by his
colleague. Baron Hollebcn, the Ger
man, ambassador.
The word had gone out at the out
break OF the war that the concert OF
Europe was DESTROYS of protecting
Spain. and Great Britain had called
hands off and had gone so far as to
offer to lend her navy to her cousins
In case OF European intervention.
"To counter this diplomatically,
Baron Holleheu had declared that in
the week before the declaration OF
war. Lord Pauncefote had assembled
the chiefs of the corps diplomatique al
the Austrian embassy, and had invited
their declaration to convey to tho
President to the effect that the ve--
dict of the civilized world would lie
against the wal--a war that the Amer
lean nation was evdent,y determined
iuper-and that this attitude on the I
part of Great Britain was unfriendly-
at least Observation-Disclosures that but
for Hollebens refusal to be a party
TO 1t. President Mckinley might have
been seriously embarrassed.
"This tale was told with great
circumstantiality. nor did Lord Paunce-
fote either admit or deny it. He sat
tight while. as he wrote 20 me. the
skies rained diplomatic chimney pots"

rather that it was up to the county
commissioners to use their own
judgment as to whether or not the
state aid road money should be ap-
piled to this particular district.
The committee having this matter
in hand, consisting of Messrs. Gum,
Lawrence and Seaman, will again
take the matter up with the county
board at this session and it is pos
sible that the courts will have to
pass on this phase of the law.
The residents of the Wenatchee
district are more or less familiar
with the general plan of improve
ment contemplated. 1t is to make a
boulevard of that section of Wenat-
chez Avenue North between the city
limits and the Wenatchee bridge
Roughly estimated the improvement
will cost about $4,000, so per
cent of which shall be taken care of
out of the state aid road fund, 35
per cent from the county and Is per
cent from the abutting property
owners. About ~ per cent of the
property owners abutting Wenatchee
avenue petitioned for the improve
ment.

NORTH WENATCHEE
BOULEVARD
Local Committee Will Have
Matter Before Commits
sioners Again.

Whether or not it is mandatory on
to certify the petition of local prop
erty owners to the state highway
board for state aid money for local
improvement work, is one of the
questions which will be up for con-
sideration by the county board at
the meeting this week.
Some two or three weeks ago the
commercial club, through the board
of directors voted to stand back of
the committee having in charge the
matter of improving North Wenat-
chez avenue by means of the state
aid road. At the last meeting of the
board of county commissioners this
improvement matter was presented
and the petition was refused. When
it came before the board Of directors
of the commercial cub this body de-
cided to back up the efforts of the
committee and an attorney was Sc
cured to take the matter into court
if necessary to compel the board Of
county commissioners to proceed
with this matter.
The members of the county board
hold that the board was allowed by
the voters of the county for the pur-
pose of looking after the finances of
the county and that it is absolutely
up to the board to use it's own dis
erection as to whether or not local
improvement is demanded and whe-
Their the expenditure is justified.
The commissioners feel friendly
towards the improvement on North
Wenatchee avenue, but they state
that all sections of Chelan county
cannot take advantage of state aid
money this year. Last year it was
asserted by members of the board
that state aid road money was used
on the road north from the Wenat-
chez bridge. This year it has been
tacitly agreed between the mem
bers of the board that the state aid
money is going to Commissioner
Kenney's district and will be ap-
piled on the road between Leaven-
worth and Peshastin. When the pc.
tition was presented several weeks
ago to the county board this body
did not interpret the state law to
be mandatory but interpreted 1t

Would Rattle or Ranch.

County Attorney Kemp is called
upon daily to solve a great many
difficult problems. 1t is likely, how
ever that he had more inquiries rela-
tive to the state lottery and rattle
law than any other section of the
state statutes. During the past year
inquiries have been put up to him
from officers Of church societies as
to whether or not it would be un-
lawful to rattle off a quilt. Yester-
day he was called upon by a man
who stated that for the past six
months he has had his property list
ed with real estate agents for sale.
No sale has been effected and he de-
sires to know whether or not it would
be unlawful to sell chances on the
property and let it go to the winner
of the successful number The man
seemed quite disappointed to find
out that this would be an infraction
of the state law.
