THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY...........Febraary 6, 1996. CROSBY 8. NOYES. -Editor. —— THE EVENING STAR has 2 regular and permanent Family Circulation mach more than the combined cir- eulation of tke other Washington Gallies. As-a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. tlm order to avoid delays, on nac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Busiress Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = Spain and the Correspondents. It is announced from Havana that The Btar's correspondent there, whose letters from the seat of war have been of excep- Uonal interest and value, has been ordered to leave the island. Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish minister at this capital, offers in explanation certain statements that tend to throw discredit upon Mr. Mannix, the writer of these letters, and that are in- tended to create the impression that ail that Spain wants fs the truth, and that the expulsion of The Star's correspondent is ordered solely in the interest of accuracy. Re-ently Mr. Mannix sent a letter déscrib- ing a visit to the seat of the Cuban gov- ernment and containing an interview with President Cisneros, showing that the in- surgents have a fixed and located form of government ard throwing much light on the character and purposes of the men who are striving to relieve themselves of the Spanish ycke. Later came a visit to the Insurgent army and an interview with Gen. Gomez. According to a cable message from Ha- vana to-day Mr. Mannix is to be deported for visiting the insurgent ranks. There fs no reason to doubt the accuracy of this in- formation as it comes from: official sources. The real Spanish objection to Mr. Mannix is clearly that he tells the unpalatable truth, truth which 1 Spanish authorities did not expect him to tell, and truth whose publication was helpful to the Cuban cause. ‘There is no rule in internatioral law that will permit resistance by this government against this proposed action, as there are abundant precedents that go to uphold the right of a nation to exclude aliens whose presence it may deem to be dangerous to it. In the case of Cuba it is very evident that Spain regards the truth with dismay, and the press censorship has been rigorous and «cre or less effective. That The Star's cor- respondent has succeeded in running the biockade with news of value is a matter for congratulation here and a cause for chag- tin in Havana. But conceding the Spanish right to deport a correspondent as a war measure on the ground that he fs danger- ous it is exceedingly unwise for Spain to take such measures as those proposed in the Mannix case, in view of the hitherto friendly attitude of this government and of the extremely sensitive sentiment of the American people in regard to the Cuban situation. It would be far more judicious, as a mat- ter of policy, for Spain to open up every possible avenue of communication and place the newspaner correspondents on a fair and reasonable footing. The United States made a conspicuous example in this way during the civil war, when “Bull Run” Russell, the American corresp y to obiain accurate infor- mation, notwithstanding his well-known prejudice in favor of the south. It is immaterial whether or not Mr. Man- nix entered into negotiations with the Spanish government before his departure or whether or not he secured transporta- tion to the isiand from the representatives of that government. His avowed mission was to get at the truth. The only question is, Does the correspondent obtain and send reliable news? George Kennan+ reached sources of information in Siberia by rea- son of relations that he obtained with the nm government that he could not pos- have gained in any other way. Mr. Mannix’s ideas of the truth concerning the Cuban situation turn out to be different se which the Spanish author‘ties eted him te form, and they expel him from the country, not, however, before he made public some very important truths, which it was the Spanish policy to suppress. ——_++-— The District Bill Rejected. e ‘tion by the House yesterday of : nify, however, that the budget Is in the slightest danger cf absolute failure. It is, perhaps, as well that the bill should go back to the appr, priation committee for a reconsideration of the charity schedule, especially after the mutilation of that section by haphazard omissions and changes that merely indl- cated atisfaction with the present sys without substituting anything that- It is weil that should correct itself in the mat- d of leaving that correction to be accomplished in conference. The spectacle of an appropriation bill being voted down is momentarily stariling, but has in the Present case no special significance. In due time the bill will come forth again from the committee, doubtless in juster and wiser shape as to charities, and it is mat- ter for congratulation that as it now stands tne provisions as to cheap gas, elec- trie light aad telephone service will remain unchanged as far as the lower house is concerned. —_+ e+ __ An antarctic explorer states that the region at the south pole Is, with charac- teristic forethought, claimed by Great Brit- ain.

The success of the bend cail was even Sreater than The Star anticipated yester- day. Four thousand, six hundred and forty offers were received, aggregating $684,262,859, of which two offers, amounting to $16,000,000, bear evidences of being bogus, thus reducing the genuine bids to a total of $568,262,859, or more than five and one-half times as much as the ‘Treasury demands. The prices, too, are satisfactory. ‘The offer of the new Morgan syndicate to take all or any part of <he loan at 110.¢ fixes that figure as the lowest rate accept- able, The government stands to make a handsome profit on the transaction, thus effecting a material reduction of the inter- est charge besides giving the Treasury even more gold than it had anti-ipated. This great demonstration of contidence in the securities of the government shovid have an immediate effect for good upon the commerce and the industries of the coun- try~ It is a splendid refutation of the ca- Jamity ory and should start without delay the flow of money through channels that have been aimost dry ever since the panic of 1803. That great wave of commercial agitation once past, it was hoped that the normal condiiions of trade would speedily return, but the peopie have been slow to recover from their fright and have held on to their money, hearding it in banks and in conservative investments. That there has been a prolonged space of inoney idleness seems now to be demonstrated by this great bound forward to obtain government bonds, for it is a natural phenomenon that money seeks a safe market, und there is none better than the securitics of the gov- ernment. This conservatism has not only been natural, but wholesome, for it has prevented a premature boom that might in turn have rushed to speedy collapse. The call for bids under circumstances that have evidently encouraged popular competition has disclosed the secret of the whereabouts and amoynt of a portion of the republic's idle cash, and ful! prosperity will come with that restoration of confidence which shall open up safe and promising forms of investment and send the country’s hoarded wealth trustfully through these business channels, More About the Gas and Electric Light Bills. The receipt of letters from dissatisfied patrons of the gas company continues. One printed yesterday afternoon from a resident of Georgetown declared that the company cperating across the creek employs the same methods as those in vogue in the main city. An empty house, rendered so by reason of fire for a period of a month, came in for its usual share of taxation, divided, however, into two bills, the first one being for a small sum and the second one for enough to bring the total up to the average charge for that month in years past. As The Star's cor- respondent pointed out, there seems to be ro effective means of obtaining redress for these grievances. In the case in point a suit would seem to Ile against the gas com- pany, but the amount is so small that It is doubtful if many householders would care te go to the trouble of a legal proceeding. Another correspondent, whose letter ts printed today, shows how he in a measure protects himself by making daily readings of his meter and turning off the gas each morning at the main service pipe. He pre- sents some very interesting figures on the exorbitant electric light bills and cites figures relating to the city of Indianapolis showing how the price of electric lights was reduced from $137 to $60 per ight per annum by the formation of a company composed of public spirited citizens. It is one thing to control the price of gas and electric lights and another thing to keep the bills of the based upon the prices estab- ithin reasonable limits. Perhaps the suggestion of The Star’s correspondent that consumers should learn to read the meters is as good a one as has been made and householders who feel that they have been mulcted should immediately take Ies- sons in this branch of domestic mathe- matics. —___+++____ The New Cuban Resolution. The substitute resolution reperted yester- day from the Senate committee on for- eign relations in regard to the Cuban In- surrection is a much stronger expression of legislative opinion than either of the two which preceded it from tha®body. It is a direct acknowledgment of the exist- ence of “a condition of public war” in Cuba and it also recognizes the fact that @ government has been proclaimed and has for some time been maintained by the peo- ple of Cuba. The declaration that the United States should maintain a_ strict neatrality between the contending powers ani accord to each the rights of belliger- ents is just what the Cuban junta in this country has deen seeking. Indeed as far ‘ess is concerned a more complete recogniticn of the Letligerents could not be secured and the resolution, being concur- rent, Is in such form that it does not neces- sitate executive action. It is a practical measure that should be passed by both houses as scon as possible. —__+e+—____ The Sultan may feel that a man who is able to hold an extensive harem under his authority, despite the exertions of the new woman, is able to do pretty much as he plea ——- + > ____ The issuing of bonds differs from the coal-mining industry, in that it is not only legitimate, but desirable, to limit the supply so as to keep the demand well in excess of it. ——_ + + ____ One of the hardships experienced by popu- list statesmen Is the necessity of doing enough farming to keep up their reputa- tions as suffering agriculturalists. ——_+ + —_ The Emperor of Japan is an admirer of foot ball.

A Pertinent Inauiry. “Yes,” said one theatrical manager, “that artist's salary is five hundred dollars a week.” “Indeed!” replied the other. “Do you mind teiling me how much she gets?” An Individual Preference. - “Some fellers as is interested in silver wants silver money,” remarked Piodding Pete; thoughtfully, “while others thinks gold is right. I've even heard of fellers thet wanted to deposit wheat an’ things an’ git eurréncy fur ’em.” “Yep,” replied Meandering Mike. “A good deal depen’s on yer pus‘nal interests.

You will notice that they do not keep one or two other standard articles in their re- spective lines. They prefer to substitute something else upon which they make a larger mar- gin of profit. You will also notice that these grocers do not seem to prosper. Why should they? There always will be imitations to worry originals in every commodity. “Ceres” Flour —has always been recognized as the best—the leading—the standard flour, and always will be.
