But after this statement I put cut an inquiry whether since peace did not Seem open to either combatant it might not be secured through a third party. This was the answer, spoken with bitterness, yet without offensiveness: “I have been expecting that question. From the beginning the United States has been awaiting its opportunity. I will not use an offensive simile and say the tiger has been crouching for its prey. You are a practical people. You professed horror at the military necessity which caused the concentration of the country population in the towns, but your humanity did not em- broil you with Spain. Americans are pa- tient. They can wait. Some of your states- men think the time has come to pluck Cuba from Spain. Some think the time has not come. Because they cannot agree, the United States does not intervene, but it is enly because of the difference of opinion about the time. Perhaps sume day your public men will be in accord. Then the United States will seek to intervene. Its motives will be understood by the wiole world. Your people may be honest enough with themselves to say it is self-interest. Probably Spain will go on deceiving her- selt that ihere is no danger of intervention by the United Si will deceive herself to J. That is easier than to recognize the meaning of Mr. McKinley's message.” The bitterness toward America, which haa marked my hos tone in the begin- ning of his talk, was. now directed against his own country, as he spoke of its de- = itself. . an see no present basis for inter- he resumed thoughtfully and Ss iatensity. “If the American ex- ecutive or the American Congress were to present the proposition of autonomy to the insurgents they would not do it as we Fave done. I conceive that they would not send people to skulk into the insurgent camps with their propositions. They would send commissioners, who would come back alive. But we have no ground for beliey- ing the insurgents would give a different answ: They have rejected autonomy, and their rejection seems final. Spain, on her part, cannot and will not admit the right of the United States to intervene. Segasta may put off the evil day. They in Madrid may kecp on deceiving them- selves, but the time will come when he must make answer to the assumption in Mr. McKinley's message. If he does not his ministry will fall. The only answer he can make will be to deny the right of intervention which is claimed by your President and Congress.” Movement of Spanish Planters. The quiet movement which is under among some of the Spanish planters and business men to seek an American prote torate led me to ask whether Spain mi: not through that agency be made to see a way out for herself “with honor.” vo not follow our example and deceive yourselves.” was the reply. “I know some- thing of the movement of which you speak. It might be an encouragement to say that within my personal experience I have ob- served a very pronounced change in the feeling cf ovr commercial ciasses toward the United States. A year ago they would not have tolerated the suggestion of inter- vention or of a protectorate. Now they scuss it among themselves. Let us not say that the failure of their government to restore an equilibrium in Cuba {s the cause. The cause is not important. But while this change in sentiment is to be observed, it does not bring a solution. Our commercial classes have little to do with public affairs either in Spain or here. They have been trained to attend to their business and leave the government to the official class. They are not like the business men in the United States. They hardly know the meaning of politics, or public affairs. So it is not wise to assume that this present movement will become an influence favor- able to intervention, especially as the gov- ernment will visit it with displeasure. You y the commercial classes feel bet- osed toward the United States than Do not go beyond that and say they have prepared the way for interven- The talk drifted around to the plans of governing Cuba which have been for- mulated in Spain and to the political sy3- tem which the insurgents promise when they establish the Cuban republic. Said my host: - Small Conception of Popular Govern- ment. “The truth must be known that we have little conception of popular government as it is understood in the United States or in Engiand. Our political institutions have not been the institutions under which Eng- lish-speaking people live. The Spanish races need to be governed by the strong hand"—his hand was unconsciously streich- ed forth as he sald it—“‘and will need to be governed thus for a long time to come. That strong hand, you say, is the idea of President Diaz in Mexico. ‘I do not think there fs a Porfirio Diaz among the insur- gent leaders. Some of them are men of military capacity, but it is not the capacity competent to govern this island. The Cu- bans are less capable of self-government than the Spaniards. Ido not say that Cub withdrawn from Spanish sovereignty would be a Haiti or a San Domingo, but assuredly history would be the history of the South American republ Your people in the states say they want stable govern- ment here. They can judge whether they would be apt to find it. But in discussing what the Cuban republic might be do not assume I am discussing more than a theory. The insurgents want independence. I see no prospect of their gaining it. The United States wants the Spanish classes in Cuba to offer an excuse for intervention. You will be disappointed. Spain wants to ‘ablish autonomy with the bayonet. That is the most hopeless delusion of them all— self-deceit again. Present times are bla ihe future is blank, the storm may be breaking, but we shall have no sign till it is upon us.

A literal rendering into English would not convey the full meaning. Nor is {t possible to con- vey the manner of this influential Span- iard’s talk, though it gave an added sig- nificance to what he said. The intensity of feeling was not disguised. His was the utterance of despair. He spoke as others of his class in Havana are speak- ing, though their speech is not made in public places.

But nothing can change the fact that the President's appeal was interpreted here as intervention, and intervention with little pretense of disguise. The veil was gauzy enough for its features to be rec- ognized. The Sending of Assistance. The official class a few weeks ago would not entertain the suggestion of relief through the American consuls. They re- Jected the ea as preposterous. Spanish pride might permit food to be sent, but it could only be distributed through their own government agencies. The refusal of the American people to contribute so long as it was a contribution to Spain followed. Then the President's message and the will- ingness to help if they could be sure that the food and money would be distributed by their own representatives. The mean- ing of all this is perhaps better under- stood here than in the United States. The authorities, under directions from Madrid, have had to swallow their humiliation and profess a willingness to co-operate with Gen. Lee and the American consuls.

So do the commercial classes and the army officers. The promise of Spain to feed her people, which was given by the President as a reason for not intervening on humanita- riau grounds, having failed, failure has also to be recounted of another promise. This was to afford sufficient military protection for the resumption of peaceful agricultural pursuits and productive industries. The sugar planters have their choice between depending on Gen. Blanco’s promise and paying the insurgent tax of 50 cents a bag. Some of them elected to rely on the troops for protection. Idle sugar mills and burned caneflelds were the result. Thev are turning again to the insurgents for protection, and even asking the military authorities to take the soldiers away. The presence of a garrison on a plantation fs certain evidence that the sugar crop there will be small. Mr. Atkins and the other Boston planters, who for two years have been carrying news to Washington that the insurrection was ended, do not seem_to have been spared the latest visitation. The Marquis Apezteguia’ reported at the con- sulate the other day that he saw a great deal of burning cane on the Atkins planta- tion. As the marquis’ own plantations are in the vicinity of Cienfuegos, he is not likely to be mistaken. The amount of cane burned has not been large enough to seri- ously affect the crop. It has been quite large enovgh to demonstrate that the raillitary authorities are not able to give protection. The sovereignty of the insur- gents is acknowledged on the sugar planta- tions where the mills are grinding. CHARLES M. PEPPER. a A Serf’s Forethought. From the Londen News. Count Sch2remetef, an immensely wealthy and powerful Russian ncble who lived in the early part of this century, had among his serfs a man named Schalouchine, who liad amassed an enormous fortune. He had offered as much as $25,000 for his free- com, but in vain. One day Scheremetef gave a dinner party, und to his disgust there were no oysters to begin the banquet “They were not to be ‘had at any replied the steward. At that mo- ment Schalouchine was ushered in among the guests, and Scheremetef bullied him as usual. “Your freedom,” he yelled, “you cannect have it if you offered a million of rubles. A million, pshaw! a few dozen oysters would be worth more than that to me at this moment. “Do I understand, then, sy lord, that you would grant me my freedom if I procured them for you?” “Yes,” was the answer. Schalouchine had brought a barrel of oysters, having heard of the dinne>. The deed of freedom was immediately signed, Schalouchine took his place among the guests, and his descend- apts are not only the wealthiest bankers ia Russia, but were ennobled about a quarter of a century ago. eee An Electric Mail Box. From Electricity. A Swiss electrician nas invented an elec- tric mail delivery box which is now in use in several of the larger buildings in Geneva. The box has a compartment for each of the stories of the building, and when let- ters are deposited on the ground floor the carrier delivers them as required. The deposit of a single letter makes an electric contact which starts a bell going on the respective floor, which does not cease ring- ing until the letter is taken out. At the same time it opens the faucet of a tank on the roof of the house, which causes water to flow into the cylinder forming the coun- terweight of the mail bcx elevator, until the weight is heavier than the box, when the box ascends, and the flow of water ceases simultaneously. As the box passes each story, the mail intended for it—let- ters, papers and small packages—falls into boxes in the corridor on that floor. This ts performed very reliably by a little spring at the bottom of each compartment in the elevator mail box, causes the bot- tem of the compartment to catch for a mo- ment, and the release throws out even @ single piece of paper thinner than a postal card into the stationary box provided for {ts recepiion. When the box has passed the uppermost ficor, the cylinder filled with water strikes a bolt provided at the bottom, which allows the water to flow out, and by Its own weight the box descends to its place on the ground floor. Should by any mischance a single piece of paper have re- mained in the elevator, upon striking the bottom it will at once go through the same series of movements as before. ——— ———as ton and Her Beans. From the Boston ‘Transcript, A Chicago newspaper asserts that thou- sands of cans of Boston baked beans are put up in Chicago and shipped east to con- sumers. Possibly, possibly! but this at- tempt to slander the Hub will fall flat, like any other baseless rumor. For who in Bos- ton or the suburbs knows anybody who knows anybody who knows anybody else who ever eats canned beans? Once in awhile a Bostonian returns from Paris or Japan after a long absence and tells of the rapturous content experienced at sight of canned beans served hot from a chafing dish on some expatriated Boston citizen's table. Once in awhile a traveling English- man from the Nile or Australia or Bombay appears among us and cheerfully describes a meal enjoyed somewhere of “tinned beans, of a sort, they say, you live on ere, Gon’t you know.” Probably, after all, the orient is the “east” meant by the Chicago journal as the destination of the prairie beans canned in the city by the lake. They may ship them to that east, to Yokohama, Hong-Kong and Calcutta, and welcome. But in Beverly the bean vine will flourish, and in Boston, Cheleea and Saugus the bean will still be baked fresh every week as of yore and consumed on Saturday even- ing or Sunday morning with true Yankee fervor of the olden time. By the by, a cer- tain eminent Bostonian whose travels in the other east have made him expert in the use of Japanese chopsticks, takes his baked beans of a Saturday night by aid of these Gelicate implements. Thus, although it has been said that “East is east, and west is west, and never the two shali meet,” there is proved an interesting means of rap- prochement. -2ee- Underground Streams. Frem Lippincott’ ‘There ar@ fact# which leave us little room for doubt that the great volume of moving water in the afM west is not embraced by the banks of it#/streams, but that Is exists beneath the surface of the earth, that these subsurfac2 reservoirs must first be filled be- fore the exterior’ plane will shed water, and that the fluid which flows to waste is the surplus, which ‘will not infiltrate into the porous substances bencath. ‘Throughout, the whole country is under- laid with immense strata of rock, whose mass is sufficiently dense to resist the superimposed pressure, yet whose structure is so cellular as,to permit the ready seep- age of water through its aggregate. These rocks are sedimentary, and belong mostly to the san@stones. They are never meta- morphic, sych as granite or the schists, and rarely are they limestone. This latter class of rocks may occasionally permit the flow of water through its body, because of fissures which alow the fluid to run in channels or veins; and sometimes the rock substances become so dissolved by water that great subterranean caverns are formed, as is the case in Kentucky; but generaly Mmestone, as a water-bearing rock, is unreliable, even where fissures ex- ist. If the movement of the water !s ob- structed, it will deposit calcareous matter, and so fill the tubes and close them. ey ee ee The Evening Star Almanac for 1389S, Of valuable aid to the sporting fraternity, as it contains many notes dealing with ath- letic and sporting topics; 450 On sale at The Star office and newsdealers.
