The past eight weeks have'sufficed to

The administration has not only been in

effective war.
Satcruat last, April 23, President
McKinley Issued his proclamation cal
ling for 125,000 volunteers to serve for
two years in the army of the United
States unless sooner discharged. The
number is to be apportioned as far as
practicable among the several states and
territories and the District of Columbia,
according to population. Nebraska's
share is 1900.
The Telegram, as a democratic paper,
is claiming that the democrats shonld
name the next fusion candidate for gov
ernor of Nebraska. In giving reasons,
jsach as they are, the fact that a demo
crat was elected last fall to the supreme
court is not mentioned. We notice a
very characteristic remark in the article:
"If they stand back and make no de
mands they well get nothing, that is
certain."
It is a caution the way chattel and re
al estate mortgages are being wiped off
the books these days. The releases are
far in excess of Che filings, as shown by
the -records in the court house, and the
sasae condition of affairs is reported from
all over the state. The financial, moral
and nasterial rain predicted at Omaha in
1890 by the populists, and since taken
Hp as the battlecry of the new-fangled
democrats, doesn't seem to be arriving
in any great haste. Fremont Tribune.
While the administration will, for
awhile at least, make war a business, it
will also take good care that the busi
ness of the country, including our ship
ping interests, shall not be lost sight of.

THE RESPONSIBILITY.
Let there be no illusions as to the
moping of intervention in Cuba. It is
not to avenge the Maine. That could
doubtless be done in a single battle. It
is not merely to expel the Spaniards
from the western hemisphere, in which
their whole history has been so discred
itable. That could be done with little
difficulty. It is not merely to carry re
lief to a few surviving reconcentrados.
That would be a comparatively trifling
task. No, but after these things are
done will come the real task, the great
responsibility. It is that to which this
nation and its government must now
look forward with a seriousness befitting
the subject
For the moment when intervention
passes from proposal to action the Uni
ted States will be morally responsible
for the government of Cuba. That is
the supreme consideration of the whole
case. In no circumstance would it be a
light responsibility to assume. There
are more than a million people in Cuba,
after all the hundreds of thousands de
stroyed by Weyler's extermination pol
icy. They are aliens to us in race apd
culture. They are turbulent and pas
sionate. They are ignorant of even the
rudiments of self-government. For
many years they have been in a state of
chronic revolt against the only govern
ment they have had. And now this
country proposes to take them in hand,
reduce them to order and stand spon
sor to the world for their permanent
good behavior.- It does that, and must
do it, if it intervenes at all, because
without such assumption of responsibil
ity intervention would be a blunder and
a crime.
It is not a responsibility to be lightly
or thoughtlessly assumed. Neither is it
one to be shirked. New York Tribune.

It has been understood for some time
past that AssistaBt Secre:ary Roosevelt
of the navy department would soon re
tire in order to eater the military
ice in the Gabaa campaign. This
can now be confirmed positively, .al
though the time set for Mr. Roosevelt's
departure from the department is not
definitely fixed. The president has
named Mr. Roosevelt as lieutenant ool
onel of one of the regiments of moanted
riflemen to be raised in the Rocky
moantaias, under Colonel Wood, whom
Mr. Roosevelt has urged for the place.
He won a medal of honor for dieting
aisned gallantry while commanding a
detachment of regular troops daring
the exceedingly hard Apache cam
paigns against Geronimo. Secretary
Alger selected Colonel Wood aad Mr.
Roosevelt for these positions because he
felt that their training and experience
Jn the past peculiarly fitted them to do
'good service with a cowboy regiment.
Colonel Wood starts west today to
superintend the recruiting, many offers
having already come to Mr. Roosevelt
from individuals and organisations
among the cowboys.
Secretary Long wishes Mr. Roosevelt
to remain in ais present position as loag
as possible so it ma.- be two or three
weeks before he will join his command.
So far the talk of a successor to Mr.
Roosevelt has been mere speculation
aad it can be stated positively that up
to this time the president has not made
a choice of his successor.
It may be noted in view of the recent
mention of the name of Admiral
Walker in that connection, that as it
stands the law requires the office of
secretary of the navy to be filled by a
civilian, so that if the admiral desired
to accept that office he woald be ander
the unpleasant necessity of resigning
from the navy and lose his place as a
retired officer, which he is not likely to
do.
There was talk of establishing a sap
ply depot in the Philippines to meet the
conditions In Asiatic waters. Our fleet
there has no home and ander the neu
trality law the stay of the ships at any
port is limited to a few hours. This is
anpleasant besides involving the ex
penditure of a great deal of coal, so it
may become necessary for Commodore
Dewey to seize a port in the Philippines
and fortify it.
The department got notice that John
Logan, son of the late Senator Logan,
had raised a cavalry regiment, which
he offered to the government under his
own command. It is hoped this can be
accepted as part of the quota of men to
be furnished by Illinois.
John Jacob Astor of New York, not
content with offering the government
free his splendid yacht Normahala,
and free transportation for troops and
supplies over the railroads in which he
is interested, has come forward with
notice that he has raised and equipped
at his own expense a battery of artil
lery which he desires to offer to the
government under his own plans for
service in Cuba. This will probably
be accepted although the department
has been deluged with offers of this
kind to the aggregate number of 50,000
at least.
STRATEGIC BOAHOS KEPT BUSY.
Vrsed to Sabstltate Peaceful Blockade
With IavasioB of Cuba.
Washington, April 26. The strate
gic boards of the army and navy are
being urged to substitute the peaceful
blockade by taking one port on the
north and one on the south of Cuba,
for the purpose of establishing a junc
ture with the insurgents at Sancti
Spiritus and with Garcia's forces in
Santiago de Cuba. Secretary Albert
ini of the Cuban legation said today
that movements of this character would
be extremely valuable in opening up
connections with the insurgent forces.
It is felt that small ports could be taken
piactically without opposition, and
that Cienfuegos on the south coast,
and Sagua La Grande on the north are
probably the best fitted in point of lo
cation and lack of coast defences as
these base of supplies. Cienfuegos on
the south, is the point most accessible
to the commands of both Gomez and
Garcia, while Sagua is within easy
reach of Gomez.
By having two bases, one on the
north and one on the south the danger
of interruption in the communication
with one or the other would be avoided
and it is thought through communica
tions between the two could be affected.
It is thought Cienfuegos and Sagua
could not offer the resistance that Me
tanzas and other large ports are able to.
The large Cuban ports have fairly good
shore batteries and it would take a
fairly good navy force and the delay in
giving noncombatants notice before
they could be captured. Besides, the
small ports would hardly make little
mere than a pretense, if they did not
surrender at the outset. With two
bases of operations secured the Cabas
authorities here feel that the Cuban
forces in the field and those ready to
take the field, could be speedily aad
effectively equipped with arms, anuna
aition, sod sapplies.
It k said that Gomes and Garcia
have the men and the enthusiasm ca
pable of striking aa effective blow once
they have arms and the only reason for
their present inaction is their failure to
have adequate ammunition for a strong
forward movement on the Speaiah
forces. Recent ooofereaoes between
the Cuban military officers here and
General Miles leaves little doabt that
the war department will equip the
Caban forces ia every way practicable
with the pfsssat demand for arms sad
ammanitioa mads by the- calling into
service of the army sad J 25.000 volun
teers. Bat it will still be aeoessary to

New YorkWorld Cablegram. Blanco
requested the Briiish consul to notify
Secretary Sherman that while he is in
command of the island all American
steamers will be considered by him as
neutral ships and respect shown them.
The entrance and surroundings of
thebay of Cardenas are lined with tor
pedoes. The Spanish government has
taken this precaution, having been no
tified by its agents that American
troops were to be lauded, Cardenas
beiag the best pore oa account of its
proximity to Havana for a land attack.
Ten miles out of Cardenas there can be
seen three United States warships and
a monitor.
The inhabitants of thi3 city are flee
ing to the country by the hundreds and
the government officers are not able to
ase any means of keeping them in.
The ward steamer Saratoga left Ha
vaaa filled with Cuban families. There
are no American vessels in Havaaa har
bor and there are only two foreign
steamers, which the Spanish govern
ment has notified to leave, as it was
getting ready for war and an attack
may be momentarily expected.
The Alfonso ZH has been stripped
and ia getting ia shape for a fight.
Pinaon and Nueva Espana, torpedo
chasers, are also in the harbor. Three
guns fired from Mono castle to make
known the approach of the American
fleet threw the city into the wildest ex
citement, people running through the
streets saying that they were about to
start to bombard in an hour after the
firing of the three guns. All places of
business on Obispo and all other lead
ing streets were closed. The only place
where people could be seen was in
Central Park, where it was a complete
mass besieging the Diario do la Marina
for news.
On Thursday night General Blanco
gave orders to the colonel of volunteers
to promote a manifestation of adher
ence to and loyalty to the government.
This parade was composed of the vol
unteer element and numbered about
10,000 people. After going through the
city it dispersed opposite Blanco's pal
ace, after the general's patriotic speech
pleading for the unity of all the ele
ments to face honorably the mutual foe
of both the Cubans and Spaniards.
Havana is completely out of beef,
although huge shipments are expected
from Mexico. All necessaries of life
have gone up to prices never heard of
and if something is not done soon
many will perish of hunger. All fam
ilies of means have stored large sup
plies of stores in their warehouses. All
Cuban families leaving are urged to
stay, the offer being made them that
they will be respected and protected.
Blanco has issuen orders to arm all
men and the order is being obeyed.
Even boys of 14 are compelled to carry
guns. A large number of Cubans have
joined the insurgents around Havana.

Loxdox. April 30. A dispatch to the

Visiting the Spanish fleet has been
prohibited. No maneuvers, target prac

ships have been painted black.
' No shore leave has been granted.
The vessels have been coaling from the
Cuidad de Cadiz. The coal and sup

chased to supply the squadron, and
even passing vessels are laid under con

launches and boats carrying stores, and
the port is brilliantly illuminated all
night with searchlights and signals.
Two Portuguese men-of-war are here
and Governor De la Crede is staying
here until the Spaniards depart. The
Portuguese consider the Spanish fleet
very strong and believe Spain will be
victorious at the commencement, but
that America's money will eventually
triumph.

tle doubt in naval circles here that the
Audaz, which, in compliance of orders
from the British admiral, left port at
5:46 o'clock 'this morning, will go to
Ferrol or Cadiz from here, as a con
siderable quantity of her war equip
ments are still to be maced on board of
bar before she can be pronounced ready
for active service. Her sister boat, the
Odasado, which towed her here from
Waterford, into which port they put ia
after the Audaz was damaged, went to
Ferrol from Queenstown to be fitted
with the equipments not furnished by
their English builders.

From "Newspaperdom" New York).

as near being the ideal daily journal as we
are for soma time likely to find on these
