W* believe they are prompted by the ad vanced Republican*. “The situation is now one of ex treme delicacy. Indeed, I cannot de fine how far it is possible for the gov ernment of Spain to permit amicable and careful mediation of a foreign power, however honorable and disin terested it may be, without incurring the grave riak of being accused of submitting to outside interference, pressure and dictation in the midst of a civil war. The United States are a great power, and until they reeognize the object and encourage the aim* of the Insurrectionists in Cuba, they are | friendly to Spain. After the recogni tion or the belligerents in < uha by | the United States, it would he Impos 1 sible for the government of Spain to accept the goixl offices of i’resident Cleveland. or to permit any interfer ence whatever. “Nevertheless, I still hope some 1 inn ii in isflll ties fiitiml liir till* lieokliliillt ; to avoid alienating the friendly lelu | lions with the Drilled States which Spain has shown this week that she prlz.es highly. “We cannot admit that the slight est ground exists for the recognition of the belligerency of the Cuban in surgents, whose so-called president, I the Marquis of Hints Lucia, and the members of bis executive council, are nomads, like the rebel bands, ever on the move.

It, therefore, argued other remarka ble strength of conditions or an en tire want of life and genuineness in the market that the prices of the sixty most active railroad stocks, which averaged per share February 1, have never fallen since that date lower than •'in. IPS, nor risen above per share. The Industrials all report a slightly lower range of prices, except for iron and steel products. Prices of wool have declined an average of 2.4 per cent within the month of Fehruury, presumably because of the failure of the proposed tariff bill, which included duties on wool. Reports are frequent that many of the largest mills are about to stop production for a time, in order to give the market opportun ity to clear itself. Speculation in breadetuffs lias not been particularly active, nor lias the change in prices been important. REBELS HAVE ENOUGH Nlctrtguii Revolutionist* Reotly to Noe for Tsruta of fair*.

CrMiilcot Cltnlud and ('•bln»l lUMflr Opposed to It WA»Hti»OTO!», March 5.—The Presi dent and his Cabinet are undoubtedly opposed to the present recognition of belligerency of the Cuban inanrgeata and to any declaration concerning their independence as embodied In re cent Congressional resolutions The following la not an official s la terns' t, but It U known from careful Inquiry that It accurately represents the ad* ministration's vlewa in the matter While the President and members of tha Cabinet personally feel the tym pathy common to all Americana with those Cubans who are contending for eelf-government, they feel that la their official action they should not de part from the well-settled principles which were followed by former Presi dents and Hecretarlee of Htate during prior Insurrections In Cuba. These were clearly set forth by General Grant in his message of 1871. lu which he dealt with the question of the rec ognition of Cuban independence and also with that of the recognition of belligerency. Moth independence and belligerency are facts, nnd their recognition by other powers, as the term implies, is merely formal acknowledgment of a atate of things which, rightly or wrongly, has come about. When a people, united under some known and dehned form of govern* moot, which administers its function* by the usual methods, come to occupy and control a known territory over which it la competent to administer justice and within which It affords protection to citizens and strangers, a new state exists Refusal of rccogni* tlon would not change the fact, any • more tlign premature ‘‘recognition’’ nnii 1 <1 A mm ala I# Thn f/irmnp txrntilfl Vite merely a slight to the new govern ment, just as the latter Is merely an I affront to the old one, The question | necessarily I* always what govern- i ] merit is actually in control of tha I country, | Recognition of belligerency depends ' upon the same facts, and Is only a , modified form of rueognlziug inde pendence, though tlie latter iinpliee more perfect accomplishments. Tiie pretension of rceo/nlzlng what does not exist “is u(ways, and justly, regarded as an unfriendly act, ami e gratuitous demonstration of moral support to the rebellion." it is understood that, judged by these tests, the ndmlnislrai ion does I not think the present state of affairs I in Cuba justifies any change In the at titude of tiie Government, Its func tion is to act and not to expreae feel ing. -- Let Off With » SO riua i Wichita, Kan., March ft — Glaee I fierce, the Liverpool, Kan , poetmae t«r who was brought here and lodged in jail for sending obscene matter through the iimlls to the assistant postmaster general in order to get rid of hi* postoffice, pleaded guilty in the United Stales court and, to the greet i astonishment of every body, was fined | only |.v DrsfltSf Its alow length Along.
