Special Correspondence of The Evening Star, NEW YORK, October 16, 1898, When Coloned ‘Theodore Roosevelt re- turned from his fruitless trip to Trey it is said that it was with the determina- tion to put life into somebody around republican headquarters in a fashion that only Roosevelt can. It was even hinted by a close friend of the republican nominee that he would take his campaign in his own hands unless assured that there would be no more apathy and no more mis- takes on his side of the fence from now until election day,. There was a conference between Chairman Odell and the colonel. What vccurred during that conference will never be known, but if indications go for anything there was such an understanding arrived at as will prectude the possibility of any more dozing during this poiitical campaign. Sunday, usually a quiet day at headquar- ters, presents a more animated appearance than on several week days in the week past. A number of republicans have asked at headquarters why Colonel Roosevelt was shipped to Sand Lake like so much freight, Unannounced and unexpected. Chairman Odell’s excuse is that he was fooled. “I was fooled,” he says, “by a young man of good business standing in ‘Troy masquer- ading in clothes that did not belong to him nor fit him. This youth telegraphed me, using the name of Governor Black and his friends, and then after he had secured the colonei’s consent to come he simply sat down and did nothing more. It was a mean, contemptible way of boosting up a failing project at the expense of Colonel Roosevelt. 1 am only devoutly thankful that it occurred this week instead of next. I believe, however, that this will be a good thing for us. Our people have shown a de- cided tendency to apathy, growing out of overcontidence, and I am glad this thing occurred to shake them up a bit. They have no right to think that we can sit still and win a great viotory in this state sim- ply because we have things our own way. If I could have my way I would throw 4 general ‘scare’ into them all along the line. From this time on we are going to make things fairly hum. We have ar- ranged for 900 meetings throughout the state, and there will be no let up on this line until the night before election. As to Richard Croker's assertion that Van Wyck will have 100,000 plurality, why, that’s all moonshine and bluff. No living man can sit down now and begin to figure out a plurality for either candidate. There has been no change in Colonel Roosevelt's up- state trips as scheduled. He will leave on Monday for Glens Falls, speak at Og- densburg on Friday and in Brooklyn on Wednesday, just as arranged. The rest of the arrangements remain just as given out.” Some Explanations Needed. There are some things about this trip of Roosevelt's that,are.pothering those repub- licans who beligye the republican canvas is being mismanaged. Why, they say, the republican manggers, should have arranged their plan: as to, make the colonel take this long jump 3 the state and back in two days and a half is not fully under- stood. Then there is another source of per- plexity in the fagt that the only places that Colonel Roosevelt is scheduled to make “long talks’ on this trip are Glens Fails, in Warren county, and, Ogdensburg, in St. Lawrence county. dt is ciaimed that to send a republican Candidate into Warren and St. Lawrence Counties to look for or to make votes is'liké sending coals to New- castie, They aré Both strong republican counties, sb st that the democratic party does not'vount ‘them in their sched- ules. Republican poiticians who are really interested “in the vsuccess of Roosevelt's campaign are, therefore, criticizing the tour that has been arranged for him on which to begin his campaign up state. They ask why it is that he Is being sent to places where he and his party, do not need, votes, instead of to places where he does need votes and might win them. The first two days’ registration indicates a heavy vote in the republican districts. In the majority of these the full number of voters were registered, and in some cases there wa cess over the totals of last year. Your correspondent made a round of the registration booths to see how the new election law Was working. Everything was orderly and quiet. There was only one thing to be remarked: Gut of the nine booths visited, eight were located in Ger- man cigar stores or barber shops, an ind: cation that Tammany has an eye to the German vote. As to the up-state registra- tion, Chairman Barnes exnresses himself as entirely sat Danger Point Pass “The one danger pojnt in the republican campaign has been safely passed. Our 1e- ports from the state indicates a very large registration in the cities and towns, and our canvasses, which are being received now complete by counties, show in the towns republican strength equal to the vote of 1806, while in the cities the vote of | 1805 is equated or exce his canvsss, coupled with the large registration, indi: cates such a republican plurality as was obtained in 1 In New York and Kings counties cur examinations to date show @ strong Rooscvelt leaning among the masses of the people, who recognize the intrinsic personal worth of the republican candi- date, and compare it with the arrogance of the Tammany inner circle. The greater city, despite all the hope ef personal re ward held out in individual instances, « not produce for Van Wyck the pluralit given in 1895, when the democratic tickut lest the state by pluralities ranging from $0,000 to 100,000. The final registration days are next Fri day and Saturday. All the republica county chairmen up state have been warn- ed to work day and night to get out the vote. Amorg the recent callers at state head- quarters was Frederick W. Holls, a Ger- rran-American. Mr. Hol's is arvanging for a big meeting of German-An ns in Cooper Union later in the month, at which Paul Goepel, & member last year of Cit- izens’ Union, will preside. “It Is all non- sense,” says Mr. Holls, “this telk that all German-Americans are going te oppose Roosevelt this fall. The old Tamma crowd of Germans who were with us eG in 1894 have all gone back to Taramany, as they went back year, but the intelli- gent Germans of this city and state, who are in a great majority, are wth the re- publicans, supporting the national admin- istration and Cpl, Roosevelt.

WANTS CUBA'S DEBT PAID Spain Will Insist on America Assuming This Obligation. Willing to Concede the Phil! She Can Evade Payt Out Money. A special to the New York Herald from Paris Sunday says: ‘The position taken by the representatives of the Madrid government to the Hispano- American peace commission in respect to the Cuban debt is regarded in well-inform- ed circles as being a menace to the con- tinuation of the negotiations. I have good reasons for believing that the efforts of the Spanish commissioners are directed more toward obtaining relief from those obliga- tions than the retention of territory. They contend that to compel Spain to shoulder this enormous financial obligation, and at the same time to take from her .ne only means she has of paying it, is to seek to ruin the country absolutely. Without her colonies and with the crushing weight of this debt resting upon her it would be im- possible, they argue, for Spain to rid her- self of her financial incubus. Spanish Press Arguments. The Spanish newspapers have been work- ing along this line for some time past, one very influential journal even going so far as to strongly advocate the relinquishment of Spain’s sovereignty in the entire Philip- pine archipelago, provided the United States would assume the war debt. The arguments employed are not many and are all based upon the inability of Sp: to pay. Practical repudiation of the obliga- tions, it is maintained, is sure to follow if a treaty is signed which stipulates that Spain must accept all financial responsibili- ties incurred by the insurrections in the Antilles and the Pacific. On the other hand, the reasons why the United States should accept or guarantee all or a part of this debt are plentiful from the Spanish standpoint. It is pointed out that in losing her colonies Spain would be deprived of the only source from which she could hope to raise the necessary money. If the American commissioners insist upon taking the islands they should be willing to take the financial obligations as well, ag from the Cuban revenues has come the in- terest paid on the debt. Spain Cannot Pay an Indemnity. Another argument advanced is that a money indemnity is out of reason, because of Spain's desperate financial condition, and that, as the United States acquires much territory, no matter what the future of the Phillipines, or even Cuba is, it would be practically demanding a money indemnity to insist that she should assume the debt. According to what I have heard, I do not believe the American commissioners hay held out any hope to their Spanish con- freres that the United States will assume or even guarantee all or a portion of those obligatio This attitude reflected in the pessimistic utterances of the Spanish press, which intimate that the representa. lives of the Washington government are not willing to meet the proposals emanating from Madrid in a conciliatory spirit, but rather insist upon and carry on negotia- tious in strict accordance with the insiruc- Hons they received from President McKin- ey. Relief From Crushing Burdens. Relief from crushing financial obligations rather than retantion of territory ms to be the first purpose of the Madrid govern and It Is on this line, I am informed, the Spanish commissioners will en- deavor to conduct the negotiations with their American colleagues. A Madrid special to the der date of Thursday, says: “At the council of ministers yesterday it was decided to send definite instructions to Montero Rios as regards the debated qu tion of the Cuban debt. If the American commissioners do not pay attention to the Justice of our cause and if they compel us to accept payment by the Spanish treasury of the Cuban debt, Spain will protest to all the nations of the world against the way in which th> "Americans are using their strength and the manner in which they cor ply with laws of honor.” “But,” T asked, “will not Spain ultimate- ly give way?” “Without a squadron and without re- sources, how are we to continue the fight? What are we to do?” ame paper, un- CUBANS GROW VERY CRITICAL. Object to Establishment of Coaling Station Without Their Sanctic A Santiago de Cuba dispatch of yesterday : In Guantanamo bay there are sey- eral schooners loaded with coal for the fleet. Demurrage expenses being very heavy, the senior officer, Capt. Chester, or- dered sheds to be built on shore so that the vessels might unload, thus making a tem- porary coaling depot. This act has raised a tremendous hubbub umong the Cubans, and is one reason giver by the Cuban General Perez for not dis- banding his troops. He claims that the Americans have no right to establish a coaling station without the permission of the Cuban government. ree IN GEOR AFFAIRS News Items Gathered West of Rock Creek.

A Berlin dispatch of yesterday says: ‘The inadequete meat supply of Germany, owing to the barriers erected against for- eign cattle, hogs and meat, continues. From Austria solely some 8,000 head of cattle have been admitted, and Russia sup- plied about 80,000 pigs. These imports are quite insufficient to cope with the require- ments which the home supply falls to meet. Prices have risen steadily for months past, and they are now 20 per cent above tnose of 1897. The slaughtering of horses for food bas greatly increased, especially in the larg? cities, and dogs’ flesh is openly advertised.

The Postmaster General appealed to the controller of the treasury for a revision of a disallowance made by the auditor for the Post Office Department of per diem allowances of post office inspectors. The auditor held that the allowance of $4 a day for expenses could not be paid when an inspector was at division headquarters. The post office appropriation act of March 15, 1808, limited the per diem allowance of inspectors after July 1 to days when they are “in the field, actually traveling on busi- ness of the department.” Under this statute the controller, in a de- cision rendered recently, holds that an in- eduction ney |Great R | ia Hair.

He said: “I do not understand that the word ‘travel,’ as used therein, is Iimited to any particular kind of travel as regards { means of locomotion, or to any particular : as regards territory. It may be trav- el on foot, by horse, or steam locomotion, in country, town, or village. It evidently means the kind and character of travel nec- essary to be accomplished by these tnspec- tors in order to a proper performance of the duties to which they are appointed— nothing more and nothing less. By the word ‘field,’ as therein used, I understand it is intended to denote not only the terri- tory in which these inspectors are to_per- form the duties pertaining to their offices, but primarily means the opposite of the duties and functions of the superytsing work conducted at division headquarters by the inspector in charge and his office force.” The controller also decided that an in- spector who was detalled to act as inspec- tor in charge at a division headquarters could not be allowed = day coc exponen, because, when serv as i charge, he was engaged in-offies work and was not on duty in the field and traveling on business of the department. Heretofore inspectors have received py diem for every day on duty. + 4+______ An Improper Position. Prom Judge.
