SPAIN Ministry Accepts President McKinley's As- surances of Good Will. Senor Moret, However, Resents the Implied Threat of Intervention in Case Autonomy Fa’ ; 5 § ° $ A dispatch from Madrid to the New York Evening Telegram yesterday says: Taken as a whole, the impression created here by President McKinley's message is very good. Although individual ministers refused to give personal opinicns on the matter, a dip- lomatist who enjoys the entire confidence of the cabinet—the sume who replied so effectively in the Herald to Estrada Palma —made the following statement for the Evening Telegram: “I am only echoing the opinion of the en- tire cabinet when I say that the message is regarded as extremely favorable to Spain. “It recognizes, amply, her rights. It ren- ders justice to the efforts of the present government to restore order, peace and prosperity to the island. “It expresses plainly the opinion that the autonomy contaimed in the decree lately issued is generous and ample, and admits | ¥ quite as plainly that the insurgents have no further excuse fcr opposition and claim- ing recognition of belligerent rights. “I am certain that the ministers of the cabinet are gratified to a degree, and re- gard the message as a most hopeful indi- cation of the ultimate success of Spain's efforts. “At the same time, others amon, ministers feel certain that certain in the message call for some protest. M. Moret is believed to be among these latter. The Ciplomatist says: “President McKinley says under certain conditions that if Spain, after having a fair chance to put the reforms into opera- tion, is without complete success, the United States, in the cause of humanity and in the interests of commerce, will be compelled to interfere. “Now, what does ‘a fair chance’ mean? Does it mean, as we Spaniards hope it does, that the insurgents will understand that fillbustering will be suppressed? That those found guilty of fomenting resistance will be severely punished? “In. this case Spain asks nothing more for the success of her efforts there. “There are thousands, in fact, a majority of the population of the. island, who acdene ly long for peace, who desire only to en- joy the liberty granted them now. If those who remain intractable find all hope of help from the United States cut off on the one hand, and are opposed, on the other hand, by the remainder, the war will be totally at an end within two months. “But suppose they think by keeping in arms tie United States will interfere with- in a certain time? The geographicaP con- ditions of the island and the nature of the conditions prevailing, there might enable them to keep up a scattered, desultory war fare for an indefinite period. In fact, the hepe of future heip from America would be a premium on insurrection. “Remember that a large number of the insuggents are not any more infatuated with indepenaence than with autonomy. They remain up in arms because the con. ; ; 5 ; ; ; ; ; ; 5 ° $ 5 $ 5 5 $ 5 ; $ 2 ° > ditions of peaceful labor are what they nate most. . I repeat, President McKin ge in reference to ‘a fair c! cut off from every form “If. in short, Spain is with hee own people in the pirit of humanity and a desire for reconcilia tion a coup! his interpretation of Presiden Mc cin- is believed the h as vere intended by ide nt to aim section in Congress.” —-——_ e+ RELIGIOUS EDUCATION.

This is intended to be a permanent department, designed to assist in molding popular thought.

Mickey Will Not Have to Hustle for Christmas Dinner. James Mickey, who is not an Irishman, as his name would suggest, but a coal- black negro boy, about eighteen years of age, was sentenced to jail by Judge Kim- ball in the Police Court this morning for assaulting a colored girl named Maggie Mason. From the evidence, it appeared that Mickey had struck Maggie such a se- vere blow in the face that a compound fracture of the jawbone was the result, and she has to wear her face in a sling. When questioned as to why he had struck the girl, Mickey said he was drunk at the time, and did net remember how he hap- pened to do it. Deed, jedge, I did not have nothing against the girl. Her brother and me was drinkin’ together, and I was very drunk.” “Well,” said Judge Kimball, “I think six months In jail will just about suit a man who will knock a girl down and break her jaw.” > HOMELESS CATS. Officers of Humane Society in Need of Funds. A progressive euchre party, with parlor sale of useful and fancy articles, will be given at the residence of Mrs. Armour, 920 1Sth street northwest, under the auspices of the Humane Society, by the ladies’ commit- tee on shelter for homeless animals, De- cember 15 to 17, from 2 to 6 and from 7 to 10 o'clock p.m., each day. The purpose of this institution is to re- leve the city of stray, homeless and dis- eased eats. These can be sent at any time to the shelter at the junction of 19th street and Columbia road, or they will be sent for if request is made by postal card. Considerable expense is entatled in the collection of these cats, as well as in their support until homes are found or until they are humanely disposed of. Donations of money and articles for sale are earnestly solicited. The ladies of the committee ask private families and the bus- inees houses of the city to send their con- tributions without being called upon. Contributions of money and articles for sale may be sent to Mrs. Armour, No. 920 Isth street northwest, or to Mrs. Knowiton, 1116 13th street northwest. eee Pass Upon Two Bills. ‘The Commissioners have reported favor- ably on the bill introduced at the last ses- 4 |) RAMEAE AS AWARE LEA AME AEA EAE ALE, rere CACACAEAS ORERERERCAEAERERCREMONEN ER ERENCE NERER OA ERORONERORCS A Sensation in the history of/Gandy Selling!
