VOL. LLXXI]1. WASHINGTON LETTER. WHAT WILL MCKINLEY DO WITH SPAIN ? He Will Have the Unanimous Support of Congress if He Faces the Issue Squarely. ~The Sitaation Crilleal. WwasuniNaToN, March 21.—This week will probably determine wheth- er Mr. McKinley is sagacious enough to retain the undivided support o Congress in his Spanish policy. It will all depend upon the action he takes on the report of the Naval Court of Inquiry, which he now has. If he acts promptly and properly on that report and then sends the report and a statement of what he has done to Congaess, he will be squarely and unanimously supported by Congress to any extent. But if he plays into | the farce of autonomy in Cuba, and the use of the power of this govern- ment to compel the Cubans to. accept it. This seems too monstrous for be- lief, but it is seriously talked about in | Washington and is given to you for | what it worth. Personally, your correspondent does not believe that Mr. McKinley would dare try to carry out such a policy, and is certain, if he | did, that Congress would not allow it to be done under any circumstances, is menilsmeifiasion omnes Good Advice to Boys.

For instance, just see how ab- surd, when this test is applied, is the] story, one of the latest, that the five great European powers had united for the purpose of demanding that the Government of the U. 8S. should state whether it intended to annex Caba, and if so, that it should proclaim a tar- iff policy for all time that would not be affected by changes of administra- tion. The absurdity of European na- tions demanding what any bright | school child knows to be impossible | under our form of government—the binding of its successors by an admin- istration—effectually disposes of this story, but others equally absurd are continually started. Many Senators and Representatives are sharply criticizing the administra- tion for countenancing the presence in Washington of the three alleged Cu- ban Commissioners, who jointly with the Spanish minister form what they are pleased to eall, the ‘reciprocity commission,” and who have actually had the audacity to take the prelimi- nary steps towards the negotiation of a reciprocity treaty with Bpain, to in- ity is the fact that these so-called com missioners are not acting in good faith, are not what they claim to be, but are engaged in lobbying for a continuance of autonomy in Cuba, although to do 80 they have to practically call liars severgl U. 8. Senators, Consul General Lee, and every intelligent newspaper correspondent who has recently been in Cuba, as all of these have declared in unmistakable terms that autonomy has been from the first a flat failure. It is thought by a number of gentle- men who are familiar with the game that these agents of Spain are trying to play that the administration would be justifiable in sending them home, but it is whispered the administration wants them just where they are, and that notwithstanding the sentiment of Congress and of the public in favor of free Cuba, six members of Mr. McKin- ley’s Cabinet favor a policy on the part of this government that will result in I'hey make carbonicide.

He took it from the hay and placed it in his house, where after a short time, the alarm began to ring and automatically a match was light- ed. It is, of course, alleged that in- cendiaries put it there for the purpose of firing the hay, and only the bark- ing of a watch dog led to a thorough investigation, that led to the discovery of the clock and match.
