Mine., second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM FLAG DAY. As June 14th ushers in the anniversary of the adoption of the national flag, the celebrations of flag day revive a history that should cause the heart of every American to thrill. The design of the national flag is a development that has kept pace with the growth of the United States, and eptomized its greatness. The symbols of red and white stripes recall the thirteen colonies that made a stand for political liberty, and the forty-five white stars on a blue field typify the states that have increased the strength of the Union in the many years of the republic. Thus the flag waves as the emblem of national glory. Its bars and its stars tell the story of freedom and growth. It has gone before the star of empire and floats over a country that offers a home and liberty to the oppressed of all nations, making welcome every man and giving an equal chance to all to share in its prosperity. Let us celebrate the birthday of the flag with patriotic song and legend and teach the children what it suggests in the ideals of true citi- zenship. A loyal patriotism cannot flower without feeding upon the honors of the past, and while recit- ing the victories of war let all remember that more sublime are the victories of peace, and that our flag will never fly more proudly than when the nation counts it its noblest ambitions to protect childhood, to relieve thesuffering and the oppressed and to keep ever before her the aspirations of the first makers of the republic. DONE T0 IMPRESS THE BONDHOLDERS 8pain Asks Cuba to Pay Por- fion of National Deht, Havana, June 14—It was learned here from an excellent authority that the action of Spain in endeavoring to induce Cuba to pay Cuba’s proportion of the Spanish national debt results from the following conditions: During the negotiation of the treaty of Parls the Spanish commissioners endeavored to get the United States to assume this obligation. This was refused and Spain, in renouncing her sovereignty over Cuba, did not spe- cifically abandon her monetary claim, which was represented by bonds largely in the hands of French hold- ers. The vitality of this claim ex- pired ten years after the signing of the treaty. Hence Spain, for the sake of French bondholders, in 1908 in- structed Gaytan de Ayala, her minis- ter here, to renew negotiations for the payment of the debt. Spain o serious expectations that this in debtedness would be cancelled, but her purpose was to impress the bond holders with her firm intention not tc abandon the claim and to renew it vitality for an additional ten years. The intimations that Scnor de Ayala's recall was duc to his failure to press this clalm energetically are being reiterated. It is asserted also that to furtlior impress the bondhold: ers the minister was relieved of his duties, but the actual reason is de- elared to have been his ill health.

MAJORITY FOR INCOME TAX Opponents of Pian Admit It May Go Through. ‘Washington, June 14.—That there 1s a majority of the senate in favor of the adoption of an income tax amendment to the tarift bill was tha startling admission of an influential Republican senator.

It means that unless there should be a sharp reversal of opinion there is sure to be a special tax of some kind in the tariff bill.
