PREFACE.
The year 1898 was one of the most interesting and important in the
history of the United States and of the world. It was the year that witnessed
the war between this country and Spain, in which the achievements of our
army and navy astonished the entire world; the destruction of Spanish
sovereignty in the West indies; the loss to Spain of her colonial power in the
Pacific; the annexation of the Republic of Hawaii to the United States; the
first steps in a movement for the dismemberment of China; the rapid growth
of a sentiment among the Jews looking to their return to Palestine; the initial
act having for its object the disarmament of Europe; the disastrous culmina-
tion of the most gigantic wheat speculation in the history of commerce; the
almost total absorption of the continent of Africa by the European powers;
the obliteration of the last remnant of sectional feeling between the northern
and southern portions of this country; the election of a new congress, and
many other less important events that will be lasting in their bearing on our
national history.
THE DAILY NEWS ALMANAC for 1899 has made every effort to cover all
these various subjects and to deal with the facts involved in a fair and wholly
impartial manner. The articles on the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the
Mariana islands and Hawaii are prepared with the purpose of giving the
reader a concise and accurate view of their people, products, trade and com-
merce that will show their present and prospective importance. The section
devoted to the war with Spain deals exclusively with the facts as they have
been established, leaving to general history the speculations and opinions that
have grown out of it.
Much important and valuable statistical matter has been added to the
departments of agriculture, education and finance, while the army and navy
have been given an enlarged space devoted to the increased importance of
these branches of the national government.
The election returns are full, accurate and complete, showing the trend
of political preferences in each of the states and territories, and no pains have
been spared to make THE DAILY NEWS ALMANAC for 1899 of permanent value
to its possessors.

THE COTTON CROP AND PRICES.
The phenomenally low price of cotton re-
cently reported, said to be the lowest point
reached in many years, lends special inter-
est to a series of tables just compiled by
the treasury bureau of statistics, showing
the remarkable increase in cotton produc-
tion and coincidental fall in price. These
tables show that the United States, the
chief cotton producer of the world, has
quadrupled her cotton production since 1872,
and that the price of cotton in the same
period has fallen to about one-fourth that
which prevailed In that year. In 1872 the
cotton crop of the United States is shown
to have been 1,384,084,494 pounds, with an
average price of 22.19 cents per pound. In
1898 the crop is reported at 5,667,372,051
pounds, with an average price of 6.23 cents
per pound. Thus the production of 1898 is
more than four times that of 1872 and the
average price but a little over one-fourth
that of that year.
When it Is considered that the other por-

tlons of the world that grow cotton have
not at all reduced their production mean-
time It IB apparent that the Increased cot-
ton supply of the world in the quarter of a
century under consideration has been very
great and far in advance of the increase
In population or consuming power.
Twenty-five years ago the United States
produced 70 per cent of the cotton of the
world; to-day she produces 85 per cent of
the world's cotton. This increase in the
percentage has been, not because of a re-
duction of the cotton produced In other
parts of the world, but simply on account
of the Increase in our own. The cotton sup-
ply of the other cotton-producing sections
of the world In 1872-3 was 1,667,000 bales
and in 1897-8 1,665,000 bales. The average
CQtton production of other countries from
1872 to 1878 was 1,618,000 bales per annum
and from 1890 to 1897 was 1,924,000 bales per
annum, showing that there has also been
a slight growth in cotton production In other
parts of the world, while our own produc-
tion has been increasing enormously.
Not only has the price of cotton fallen at
about the same rate that the production has
Increased but there has also been a cor-
responding fall in the price of cloths manu-
factured from cotton. The reports of the
bureau of statistics show that cotton
"printing cloths" were quoted at 7.88 cents
per yard in 1872, while reports just pub-
lished show an average rate of 2.17 cents
per yard in the cotton year 1898 for the
same grade of cloths, the fall in the manu-
factured article thus having, in this case at
least, nearly or quite kept pace with the
fall in the price of raw cotton and the In-
crease In production of that article.
It is proper to add that the prices quoted
for the earlier years are based upon the cur-
rency values of that period, and if reduced
to a gold basis would be slightly less.
Cotton "printing cloths" whose prices are
given In the table are of the quality manu-
factured for use in printing calicoes and ac-
cepted as a standard grade by which prices
are constantly quoted:

POPULATION OF EUROPE.
According to figures given by La Revue
Francaise de 1'Etranger, the total popula-
tion of Europe, by calculations made on the
latest census, is 380,000,000, which is a gain
of 37,000,000 over that computed January,
1888. Here Is a table showing the figures
given in the Revue:
European Russia and Finland 106,200,000
Germany 52, 300,000
Austria-Hungary 43,500,000
United Kingdom 39,800,000
France 38,rOO,0 0
I taly 31,300,000
Spain 18,000.003
Helgium 6,500, 000
Turkey in Europe 5,800,000
Houmania 5.600.000
Portugal 5,000,000
Sweden 5,000.000
Holland 4,000,000
Bulgaria 3, 000,000

Greece 2,400,000
Denmark 2,300,000
Servla 2,300,000
Norway 2,000,000
The density of the population according
to each square kilometer (about .386 square
mile) is thus reckoned: In Belgium, 220;
Italy, 169; Holland. 149; England, 126; Ger-
many, 97; Switzerland, 73; France, 72: Aus-
tria, 69; Spain, 36; Russia, 20. While the
annual Increase of the population of Russia
has been 1.45 for every 100 In the last ten
years, that of Germany has been 1.15, of
Austria-Hungary .96, of England .35, of
Italy .45, of France .08. At this rate of
augmentation in 100 years Russia would
have 228,000.000 inhabitants, Germany 106,-
000,000, Austria 79,000,000, England 65,000,000,
Italy 44,000,000 and France only 40,000,000.

The only authorized material standard of
customary length is the Ti'oughton scale be-
longing to this office, whose length at 59O.62
Fahr. conforms to the British standard. The
yard In use in the United States is therefore
equal to the British yard.
The only author zed material standard of
customary weight s the troy pound of the
mint. It is of brass of unknown density, and
therefore not suitable for a standard of mass.
It was derived from the British standard
troy pound of 1758 by direct compar son. The
British avoirdupois pound was also derived
from the latter, and contains 7.000 grains troy-
The grain troy is therefore the same as the
grain avoirdupois, and the pound avoirdu-
pois in use in the United States is equal to
the British pound avoirdupois.
The British gallon= 4.54346 liters.
The British bushel— 36.3477 liters.
The length of the nautical mile given above
and adopted by the United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey many years ago is defined
as that of a minute of arc of a great circle of a
sphere whose surface equals that of the earth
(Clarke's Spheroid of 1866),

By the concurrent action of the principal
governments of the world an International
Bureau of Weights and Measures has been
established near Paris. Under the direction
of the International Committee two ingots
were cast of pure platinum-iridinm in the
proportion of 9 parts of the former to 1 of the
latter metal. From one of these a certain
number of kilogrammes were prepared, from
the other a definite number of meter bars.
These standards of weight and length were
inter-compared, without preference, and cer-
tain ones selected as international standards.
The others were distributed by lot, in Septem-
ber. 18S9. to the different governments and are
called national prototype standards. Those
apportioned to tin United States were received
in 1890 and are in the keeping of United States
coast and geodetic survey.
The metric system was legalized in the
United States in 1866.
The international standard meter is derived
from the meter des archives, and its length is
denned by the distance between two lines at
0® centigrade, on a platinum-iridium bar de-
posited at the International Bureau of
Weights and Measures.
The international standard kilogramme is
amass of platinum-iridium deposited at the
same place, and its weight in vacuo is the
same as that of the kilogramme des archives.
The liter is equal to a cubic decimeter, and
it is measured by the quantity of distilled
water which, at its maximum density, will
counterpoise the standard kilogramme in a
vacuum, the volume of such a quantity of
water being, as nearly as has been ascer-
tained, equal to a cubic decimeter.

WHEAT CORNER OF 1897-98.
WHEAT CORNER OF 1897-98.
The year 1898 marked the culmination and
collapse of one of the most gigantic and
spectacular operations in wheat ever in-
augurated in this or any other country. The
center of activity was Chicago, and the
central figure was Joseph Lelter, a resident
of that city. Operations were continued
over a perloa of more than ten months, dur-
ing which it is estimated that nearly 100,-
000,000 bushels of wheat were traded in by
the party in Interest, including what is gen-
erally known as his "scalping" operations,
and the price was advanced from 65 cents
at the start to $1.85 a bushel before the
end was reached, a net improvement of
nearly $1.20. The amount of cash wheat
handled by one party, the capital involved
and the wide interest excited were without
precedent. The attention of the whole civ-
ilized world was attracted and the Chicago
market was constantly watched by the peo-
ple of all foreign lands, as well as by those
of our own.
Prices were pushed to a dizzy height, but
the collapse was sudden and disastrous,
Joseph I^eiter and his immediate following
being the principal sufferers, those best in-
formed estimating their losses at nearly, if
not fully, $10,000,000.
Joseph Letter was a young man of 29, who
had never been known as an operator in
wheat, and was not even a member of the
board of trade; he came of good mercantile
stock, however, his father — L. Z. Leiter —
having been for many years a leading and
successful merchant in Chicago, finally re-
tiring from the business with a large for-
tune, which was eventually increased to
$30,000.000 or more. The son was thought to
have inherited the mercantile instincts of
his father, and had already demonstrated in
many ways his keen business sagacity. It
is claimed, and generally admitted, that
when Letter ventured upon his first opera-
tions in wheat nothing was more foreign to
his thoughts than the colossal transactions
in which he eventually became the directing
spirit. The idea of "speculation" he dis-
claimed from first to last, stoutly contend-
ing that he was simply a merchant, and a
speculator only In the sense that he ex-
pected to sell what he bought at a handsome
profit, and without resorting to any of the
tricks known to the typical speculator.
A fortunate investment made early In
September, 1897, was the humble beginning
of the Lelter deal, which did not end until
June 13, 1898. Prom the inception the trans-
actions gradually grew in magnitude until
every previous experience In that line was
completely overshadowed, and the world
watched its development with increasing
wonde*.
The reasons which led Lelter to think so
favorably of wheat were found in the then
prevailing conditions the world over, but
more especially in Europe, and these he
freely made known to the public. He at-
tempted no deception, but openly warned
every one of the folly of selling wheat at the
then prevailing prices, and he at the same
time proceeded to buy freely what the pub-
lic seemed so greedy to sell, with the result
that when the conditions he had foreseen
came finally to be generally acknowledged,
prices were greatly enhanced and the sound-
ness of his judgment apparently vindicated.
The world's crop of wheat in 1897 was
much below the average. England, France,
and other countries which found it neces-
sary to import wheat, found also their
harvests more than usually deficient; while
Russia, India, Argentina and Austria-Hun-
gary— countries which usually raise a large
surplus for export— found this surplus great-
ly curtailed. So with enlarged necessities
came diminished supplies, and the problem
of feeding Europe soon began to attract at-
tention in America. As figured out statis-
tically, the breadstuffs situation, when the
harvests in 1897 were gathered, compared
with that of 1896 as follows:
, — Wheat crop (bushels).-

Bulgaria 25,000,000 45,000,000
United Kingdom.. 54,000,000 60,000,000
The above-named countries, with the
minor ones not named, showed a deficiency
in the European wheat production of 1897 of
356,000,000 bushels, as compared with the
year previous. To offset this was an in-
crease in the United States of about 120,-
000,000 bushels and about 20,000,000 bushels
in other parts of the world, leaving a net
shortage in the world's wheat supply of
over 200,000,000 bushels. These figures early
attracted belter's attention, and he argued
openly that they foreshadowed an unusual
demand for American wheat, and predicted
an astonishing advance in values. So it
was not long before he became a heavy
buyer — simply as a merchant, he always
protested, or as he would buy a piece of
real estate when it was offered below its
intrinsic value. He was in the market be-
cause the inexorable law of supply and de-
mand must eventually enhance the price of
wheat. Probably no man ever bought a
bushel of wheat with more complete con-
fidence in its legitimate value than did
Joseph Letter in his earlier dealings, and,
despite his many disappointments and the
serious obstacles he frequently encountered,
his faith rarely wavered until the disastrous
end of his long campaign was finally
reached. In the whole ten months of its
continuance he never descended to any of
the tricks of the ordinary speculator, nor
endeavored to take advantage of the seller
by concealing his real purpose; he openly
proclaimed himself on the "bull side,'
warned the trade of the danger of "selling
short," and bought without limit whatever
was offered for sale. In August, 1897, his
presence in the market and his extensive
operations began to attract attention; the
price was then about 75V4 cents, having sold
at 64% cents earlier in the season. As bis
accumulations went on prices were gradu-
ally enhanced. When the end of September
approached, and the time was near at hand
for the delivery of the wheat Leiter had
bought for that month's delivery, it was
found that there was little here, and to
avoid the odium of running a corner he an-
nounced his willingness to transfer all bis
trades to December, but warned tiie trade
that the price would be very much higher
when that delivery matured. But the large
traders — and especially that class known to
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
include the elevator interest — were almost
uniformly "bears," and, confident that an
amateur speculator, as Leiter was acknowl-
edged to oe, could not successfully carry
through a campaign on the lines he had un-
dertaken, all kept selling heavily, and Letter
kept on buying with equal persistency,
prices in the meanwhile continuing to ad-
vance steadily.
By this time the world had become deeply
interested and everybody was watching the
course of prices on the Chicago board of
trade, the up turn abroad having kept pace
with that in America. As the end of De-
cemoer, 1897, drew near, the stocks of con-
tract wheat in Chicago were found to be
greatly depleted and nearly 6,000,000 bushels
less than Letter had bought in the mean-
time, and which must be delivered to him
before the end of the month. Many, consid-
ering the situation hopeless for the shorts,
settled and paid their differences. But the
great elevator proprietors, who, as before
stated, were the largest "shorts," deter-
mined to get the wheat and deliver it, evi-
dently expecting that the delivery of 5,000,-
000 to 6,000,000 bushels practically in one
lump — and which had to be paid for in cash
on delivery — would financially embarrass the
daring young operator. For this purpose the
northwest was ransacked by the large and
wealthy Interests which had been caught
"short," and wheat was bought wherever
it could be found, with little regaru to the
price, and, favored by unusually open
weainer, millions of bushels were brought
to Chicago by lake from Duluth and by car
from Minneapolis. During the last days of
December there were delivered to Leiter
over 5,000,000 bushels of wheat, which was
promptly accepted and paid for in cash, ap-
parently without effort and without any un-
usual strain on his financial credit. This
large delivery, with his other holdings, left
Leiter the absolute owner of from 8,000,000
to 10,000,000 bushels of the cereal, though in
the meantime he had been sending it for-
ward very liberally to tidewater or to
Europe. There was some expectation that
the enormous demands made on Leiter's
bank account by the delivery of so much
property, on which instant payment was de-
manded, might prove too much of a load for
the young speculator; but his father, L. Z.
Leiter, promptly came to his assistance
with his $30,000,000 fortune, and his credit
soon became practically unlimited.
For a moment Leiter hesitated at this
juncture, but his indecision did not last
long; he was the owner of a vast amount of
fraln which he felt forced to protect, and
is only course now seemed to be to carry
his campaign into May, 1898. At the same
time he began those tremendous shipments
abroad which soon became the wonder of
the trade, and, with a single exception,
finally eclipsed anything before known in
the history of the grain trade. In order to
guard against a repetition of his experience
in December, 1897, he extended his opera-
tions into the northwest, and before long
owned millions of bushels of wheat at Du-
luth and Minneapolis, in addition to his im-
mense and daily increasing holdings at Chi-
cago. But wheat was still offered freely;
the farmers, attracted by the high prices,
were selling everything they had stored, un-
til the interior reserves were well-nigh ex-
hausted everywhere. In the meantime prices
had gone up by leaps and bounds, and the
foreign markets were keeping pace with
those in this country. Yet Leiter's repre-
sentatives still stood in the pit and de-
manded more wheat, though in the mean-
time his accumulations probably amounted
to 20,000.000 bushels— a larger load than any
single individual was ever before known to
carry. But his faith had not yet begun to
waver; "shorts" had become badly fright-
ened, however, and with Leiter's aggressive
confidence and the "shorts' " efforts to
cover prices continued to soar.
The end of May, 1898, finally came, and
Leiter's opponents again disappointed him;
they had made the most strenuous exer-
tions; had ransacked the country, and final-
ly succeeded in delivering him 8,000,000
bushels, for which prompt payment was nec-
essary; but his star was still in the ascend-
ant, or at least his financial sky was un-
clouded, and payment was easily made.
By this time, however, his holdings had
enlarged to something like 25,000,000 bushel ,
representing not less than $30,000,000 in cash
— a staggering load for any one but Leiter.
Yet, still undaunted, he at once commenced
to buy wheat for July delivery, and this
move was the beginning of the end. His
skies darkened, the load becar^e tiresome,
and financial difficulties began to press
mon or less heavily, and his confident srnhe
had departed. Prices abroad had risen to a
point which restricted consumption, and the
old world was driven to other markets.
Argentina and India had begun to ship their
bountiful crops, and the promise for this
country for 1898 as well as for the old wor'd
generally was most brilliant. Every hour
the burden became heavier for the man who
had undertaken to fight the whole world
The speculative element fought him with
frantic vigor, and every available bushel of
wheat on ooth sides of the ocean was sold,
so that the theoretical supplies which Leiter
had figured on were enormously exceeded by
the actual marketings. The end drew near;
it came suddenly. On Monday, June 13, 1898,
Leiter found himself with 30,000,000 to 35,-
000,000 bushels of wheat on hand, his ready
cash gone and his credit with the banks
shattered by the withdrawal of the financial
support of L. Z. Leiter, which he had hither-
to had.
Realizing at last the hopelessness of his
battle, he struck his colors, threw all the
wheat he had bought for July on to the mar-
ket, and in little more than an hour had
divested himself of fully 8,000,000 bushels.
The price had also dropped 20 cents a
bushel, aggregating fully $7,000,000 on his
entire holdings. The 15.000,000 bushels or
more of cash wheat he held In this country
and Europe then became a matter of grave
concern. A general panic was likely to fol-
low the forced marketing of such a vast
amount of property, and to avoid such a
calamity it was protected by the banks
and finally placed in the hands of trustees
to be sold at leisure when shortened sup-
plies might warrant it or circumstances
dictate. This eminently wise action pre-
vented the disastrous consequences which
would otherwise have followed such a com-
plete collapse and minimized the ruin which
might, without such precaution, have fol-
lowed the Leiter fiasco.
It will no doubt be interesting to trace

The price in- June, up to the day" of the
collapse, had ranged at $1.05@1.20, and on
the day that Leiter threw his holdings over-
board the price fell to 85 cents, and a week
later had fallen to 75 cents, a loss of $1.10
from the top figure, $1.85, which was
reached in May.
The advance started wheat to Chicago

were far in excess of what any one had cal-

The exports from this country were also
unusually heavy, for as soon as Letter's
operations became well understood not only
was there a healthy legitimate foreign de-
mand but Leiter himself was disposed to
market his wheat abroad and used every
effort to get it across the ocean. The
monthly exports from and including Janu-

well under way — to and including June, com-
pare with former years as follows:

That the Leiter deal was of Immense pe-
cuniary benefit to the wheat growers of the
world there can be no question, however
disastrous it may have been to himself and
his financial backers and followers. It cre-
ated an unusual, even though it was par-
tially fictitious, demand, which greatly en-
hanced the price. The persistent "short"
seller, who had for so many years coined
money by depreciating the price, found that
he was for a time overmatched, and the
wheat "bear" was, for the time being, out
of fashion. Letter's campaign added from
10 cents to 50 cents a bushel to the farm-
ers' staple crop, and, while the aftermath
was serious loss or absolute ruin to many,
its good effects were felt on thousands of
farms and will continue to be for years to
come.

PARTITION OF CHINA.

PARTITION OF CHINA.
It was not until after the close of the war
between China and Japan that the celestial
empire attracted the aggressive cupidity of
the colonizing nations of Europe. At the
close of the so-called opium war in 1841
Hongkong, an island In the mouth of the
Canton river, was ceded to Great Britain,
and is now one of the strongest naval and
military stations of the British empire in
Asia, being known as the "Eastern Gibral-
tar."' With this exception the Chinese em-
pire remained practically untouched. The
weakness displayed by the Chinese in the
war with its insular neighbor and the total
want of national coherency among the Chi-
nese people themselves were simply an in-
vitation to the stronger powers of Europe to
enrich themselves at the expense of the
Chinese empire.
At the close of the war with Japan a
treaty was negotiated between the two na-
tions which may be found In full in The
Daily News Almanac for 1896, page 77, by
virtue of wtich China surrendered to Japan
Sbashih, in the province of Hupeh; Chung-
king, in the province of Sze-ehuen; Suchow,
In the province of Klangsu; Hang-Chow, in
the province of Chebkiang; the Llau-Tong
peninsula, besides the temporary possession
of Wei-Hai-Wel, in the province of Shang-
tung.
Russia, joined by France and Germany, at
once interfered to prevent the Japanese
occupancy of the Llau-Tong peninsula.
Russia took this course for the purpose of
keeping open for herself a road through
Manchuria and Llau-Tong to an open port
on the Pacific, which she might convert into
a great military and naval depot, giv-
ing her an outlet for the commerce of
Siberia, which Is becoming of vast size
and Importance. For centuries Russia has
been making an attempt to reach an ice-free
port on the Pacific, being blocked ' from
progress for that purpose toward the Atlan-
tic by England, France and Turkey. Russia
lost no time in raising her flag at Port
Arthur, In the province of Liau-Tong, and
on the 27th of March, 1898, she secured from
China the cession of that port. It was an-
nounced from St. Petersburg that the lease
from China under which Port Arthur was
held would not injure any foreign nation,
but when the compact between Russia and
China was published in full it was found
that no such construction could be put
upon the transaction, for the ports of Ta-
lien-Wan and Port Arthur were to be re-
served for the exclusive use of Russian and
Chinese war vessels, and that the remainder
of the territory named in the cession, whi'e
open to merchant vessels, was closed to the
war vessels of every other nation. France
also received concessions in the re-forming
of the boundaries of Tonquin which were
of substantial benefit to her.
Germany, on the other hand, found .that,
while she was a party to the dual alliance,
she had received little or no recognition
from a division of the spoils which followed
the breaking of the Japanese treaty. The
incident at Yen-Chu-Fu furnished Germany
an excuse for seizing a large area of ter-
ritory. In November, 1897, at the above-
named place, in the southern part of the
province of Shangtung, a mission estab-
lished by the German Roman catholics was
attacked hy a mob of Chinese, and two mis-
slouarles were kilieU and one was disposed
of in a way yet unknown, while the mission
buildings were destroyed, A few days later,
on the 6th of November, 1897, a Chinese mob
in the city of Wuchung. in the province of
Hoo-Pee, made an attack upon the German
minister to China and upon the commander
of- a German gunboat, Insulting the Ger-
man flag as well. Germany was prompt to
resent this action, and on the 18th of No-
vember, 1897, a German fleet of four war
vessels appeared at Kino-Chun, a stiongly
fortified port in the province of Shangtung.
A force of marines was landed and took a
position which commanded the harbor. A
demand for the surrender of the harbor was
made and the Chinese garrison fled in haste.
This was followed by a demand upon the
Pekln government for compensation for the
previous outrages on the missions and the
German minister and officer. The German
government demanded the punishment of
the persons implicated in the murder of the
priests, the rebuilding of the destroyed mis-
sion houses, the payment of an Indemnity of
$450,000 to the families of the murdered men,
together with the payment of a very large
sum to meet the expenses of the naval ex-
pedition and for the support of a military
force at Klao-Chau.
The Chinese government demanded the
evacuation? of Kiao-Chau before it would
consent to negotiations, which demand the
Germans refused to consider. The dispute
was finally settled the very last of Decem-
ber, 1897, by China yielding all Germany de-
manded, giving a lease, in March, 1898, for
ninety-nine years, of the territory that Ger-
many had seized.
These movements produced a profound
sensation in Europe, and at one time there
was every appearance that a general war
would follow. Great Britain felt that she
had been "tricked'1 by Russia in the ces-
sions that had been secured from China and
in the wider influence the czar had acquired
at Pekin; Russia herself did not approve
of the transfer of Kiao-Chau to Germany,
being desirous of securing that port for her
own purposes; Japan felt sorely disap-
pointed at being deprived of nearly all she
had gained by her costly war with and com-
plete victory over China, while European
nations stepped In and took nearly every-
thing that Japan coveted and had won; Ger-
many, while satisfied with what she had
seized, was suspicious that Russia had used
her to further the schemes of the czar, while
France was fearful of the strenuous oppo-
sition of Great Britain to the demands the
republic was making in the southern portion
of China bordering on Tonquin. Both Rus-
sia and France were using all their in-
fluence to prevent the loan of $80,000,000
wnlch China had negotiated in London.
Great Britain, which controlled two-thirds
of the entire trade of China, felt that she
was being deprived of it by means that were
unfair even in European diplomacy. Russia
was the country that Great Britain was
most disposed to criticise for the securing
of Port Arthur as the southern terminal of
the Siberian railway system, while the
transforming of that port into a Gibraltar
was calculated to give the ozar a domina-
ting influence both in China and Korea,
which was a menace to Great Britain's
most important commercial Interests In
Asia, ibe feeling In Great Britain was still
further intensified by th-.i removal of an

Englishman, Mr. Brown, who had been em-
ployed to supervise Korean finances, and the
appointment of a Russian, Mr. Alexieff, in
his place, against the protest of Great Brit-
ain. Such an appointment would have
laced Korea in the hands of Russia. Great
tritain followed tip her protest against this
change by sending a strong fleet to Che-
mulpo, and the result was that a compro-
mise was effected under which the Korean
customs were administered by. a joint com-
mission of British and Russian officials.
The seizure of the island of Hainan by the
French in December, 1897, brought a protest
from the British foreign office and a decla-
ration by France that permanent occupation
\vaa not designed.
With her enormous Interests Involved In
China, Great Britain could not remain pas-
sive to Russia's occupation of Port Arthur,
which commanded the Gulf of Pe-chi-li,
and, incidentally, the Chinese capital Itself.
So strongly opposed was tne British govern-
ment to the Russian occupancy that every
effort was made to dissuade the czar from
his purpose, the government pledging itself
not to occupy any port in the gulf if Russia
would abandon the Port Arthur scheme.
Russia flatly refused to consider the British
proposal, and in self-defense a demand was
made upon China by the British government
for a lease of the port of Wei-Hai-Wei, after
it had been evacuated by Japan, which then
held it as security for the unpaid war In-
demnity, and demanded it of China upon
the same terms granted to Russia in the ces-
sion of Port Arthur. The demand of Great
Britain was acknowledged, the indemnity
was paid to Japan in May, 1898, and on the
20th of that month the British forces occu-
pied the port.
By this movement Great Britain more
than matched Russia, for the port of Wei-
Hai-Wei is a more commanding position
than Port Arthur. While the latter com-
mands Pekln, the former commands the
Chinese capital by commanding the Gulf of
Pe-chi-li and Port Arthur itself. While
Port Arthur is of no value as a commercial
point, Wei-Hai-Wei is of importance as a
mercantile harbor and is capable of better
defense than the Russian naval entrepot.
It cannot be denied that in the Gulf of Pe-
chi-li Great Britain holds a far stronger
naval and commercial position than Russia
does.
While these scrambles were going on in
northern China, France was strengthening
herself along the Tonquin frontier in the
south. She acquired the lease of a large
bay on the southern coast of China; the
right to build a railroad between Tonquin
and Yunnan-Fu, in the province of Yun-
nan, an important point on the road from
Kwei-Yung-Fu to the western frontier of
China; a promise from China not to alienate
any of the territory in the four southern
provinces of the empire, which comprise
about one-eighth of the entire domain; an
agreement not to transfer to any other
power the island of Hainan, which lies off
the coast of the French possessions in Ton-
quin and commands the entire coast, be-
sides some voice in the administration (if
the Chinese postal service, then under Eng-
lish control. The important part of this
agreement to France is the railroad conces-
sion to Yunnan-Fu, in the center of that
province, which is one of the richest in the
Chinese empire. This road ending in French
territory will be of inestimable value to
France from a commercial point of view.
Of course Great Britain must have con-
cessions in the south to equal those of
France, as she had in the north to offset
such as had been granted to Russia and
Germany. The result was that China leased
to Great Britain, for ninety-nine years,
about 200 square miles of territory on the
mainland north of Hongkong, taking in
parts of Mirs bay on the east and Deep bay
on the west, as well as the island of Lan-
tao.
While the partition of China is yet in its
infancy, it is plainly to be seen that so far
British diplomacy and influence have been
more than a match for Russian ambition.
German greed and French aggression, much
as those nations have already secured from
China. No nation in Europe has been more
fully aware of the inherent weakness of
China than Great Britain, and the main de-
sire she has had has been to strengthen her
hold on the trade of the fabulously rich
valley of the Yang-tse-Kiang. which em-
braces nearly one-half of the va'uable area
of the empire. The river Is 3,350 miles in
length, and drains, with its tributaries,
nearly 800.000 square miles of territory,
while they together furnish a system of in-
land waterways about 12.000 m'les in length.
The eastern portion of this rich vai'ey. tr-e
province of Szechuen, borders British Bur-
ma. This entire valley is under British in-
fluence, while the footholds Great Britain
has at Wei-Hal-Wei and Hongkong give
her practically the control of the mouth of
that mighty stream. With railroads enter-
ing this open back door of China. Szechuen,
Great Britain can control the trade of the
entire Yang-tse basin for its whole distance.
In the northern provinces of Shansi and
Honan there are Immense deposits of coal,
and these are controlled by an Anglo-Italian
syndicate which has railroad concessions of
great value and importance. This, with the
financial obligations of China to Great
Britain, gives the latter an influence that
cannot be overlooked in the discussion of
any plan proposed for the dismemberment of
the Chinese empire.
THE PARTITION OF AFRICA.
The scramble among the nations of Europe
for colonial possessions in Africa is of com-
paratively recent origin. While the earliest
explorations began in 1553, when a body of
British merchants sent out in search of
trade a few vessels to Guinea, there was no
thought of anything more than an effort to
find a new market for English productions.
It was more than forty years later, in 1595,
that the Dutch followed the English mer-
chants In the attempt to establish a trading
station on the coast of Guinea. About the
same time that the British traders began
the exploration of the Guinea coast the
French set out on the same errand and
located at what is now known as French
Guinea. Thus at the beginning of the
seventeenth century nearly all the portions
of Africa that were held by the nations of
Europo were the three divisions of the coast
of Guinea that wore known respectively aa
British. French aud Dutch Guinea.
THE WORLD'S PRODUCTION OF WINE.
101
Even at the end of that century England
and France were the principal rivals for
African trade, but at the close of the
French wars France had lost nearly all her
possessions in Africa as well as elsewhere.
In this war Great Britain acquired the
iisrruilency in African affairs, which she
stubbornly held for 200 years. Leaving the
coast, England pushed into the interior,
while France annexed Algeria; Senegambia
and Sierra Leone. Generally the partition
of Africa went on slowly and peaceably,
and it was not until the Brussels confer-
ence in 1878 that the unrestrained scramble
began that has resulted In the division of
the entire continent among the different
nations of Europe. Thus in 1876, while
Great Britain, France, Spain and Portugal
had located colonies on the coast of Africa,
the interior was held by the wild tribes that
occupied it against all foreign aggression.
The Berlin conference In 1876 was the time
at which the energetic division of the con-
tinent was inaugurated, and at the close of
1890 of the 11,900.000 square miles of ter-
ritory composing the continent of Africa
only some 1,500,030 remained open to seizure
by the nations of Europe. There were
even then some conflicting claims that had
not been settled, as the conflicts between
French, German and British Interests on
the Niger clearly testified. But these, to-
gether with the disputes between Portugal
and England in the upper Zambesi, have
been decided, or are in process of amicable
settlement, and it Is mainly the claims
that arise out of the British occupation of
Egypt and the Sudan that still appear to
threaten war.
The following table shows the possessions
held by each of the European nations, the

DISARMAMENT OF ETJROPE-THE CZAR'S DECLARATION.
Following Is the text of the note which
was handed to the foreign diplomats at St.
Petersburg Aug. 24, 1898, by Count Mura-
vleff, Russian minister of foreign affairs, at
the dictation of Emperor Nicholas. The
czar's proposal In this note of a conference
looking to the preservation of peace was the
subject of world- wide discussion:
"The maintenance of general peace and
the possible reduction of the excessive arm-
aments which weigh upon all nations pre-
sent themselves in existing conditions to the
whole world as an ideal toward which the
endeavors of all governments should be di-
rected. The humanitarian and magnanimous
Ideas of his majesty the emperor, my august
master, have been won over to this view in
the conviction that this lofty aim is In con-
formity with the most essential interests
and legitimate views of all the powers; and
the Imperial government think*! the present
moment would be very favorable to seeking
the means. International discussion Is the
most effectual means of insuring all peoples'
benefit — a real, durable peace, above all put-
ting an end to the progressive development
of the present armaments. In the course of
the last twenty years the longing for gen-
eral appeasement has grown especially pro-
nounced in the consciences of civilized na-
tions and the preservation of peace has
been put forward as an object of Interna-
tional policy. It Is in its name that great
states have concluded between themselves
powerful alliances.
"It is the better to guarantee peace that
they have developed in proportions hitherto
unprecedented their military forces, and still
continue to Increase them without shrinking
from any sacrifice. Nevertheless, all these
efforts have not been able to bring about
the beneficent result desired — pacification.
The financial charges following the upward
march strike at the very root of public pros-
perity. The intellectual and physical
strength of the nations' labor and capital
are mostly diverted from their natural ap-
plication and are unproductively consumed.
Hundreds of millions are devoted to acquir-
ing terrible engines of destruction, which,
though to-day regarded as the last word of
science, are destined to-morrow to lose all
their value in consequence of some fresh
discovery In the same field. National cul-
ture, economic progress and the production
of wealth are either paralyzed or checked in
development. Moreover, in proportion as
the armaments of each power increase they
less and less fulfill the object the govern-
ments have set before themselves.
"The economic crisis, due in great part to
the system of armaments a entrance, and
the continual danger which lies in this
massing of war material are transforming
the armed peace of our days Into a crushing
burden which the peoples have more and
more difficulty in bearing. It appears evi-
dent that if this state of things were to be
prolonged it would inevitably lead to the
very cataclysm It is desired to avert and
the horrors whereof make every thinking be-
ing shudder in advance. To put an end to
these incessant armaments and to seek the
means of warding off the calamities which
are threatening the whole world — such is
the supreme duty to-day Imposed upon all
states. Filled with this Idea, his majesty
has been pleased to command me to propose
to all the governments whose representa-
tives are accredited to the imperial court
the assembling of a conference which shall
occupy itself with this grave problem.
"This conference will be, by the help of
God, a happy presage for the century which
Is about to open. It would converge into
one powerful focus the efforts of all states
sincerely seeking to make the great concep-
tion of universal peace triumph over the
elements of trouble and discord, and it
would at the same time cement their
agreement by a corporate consecration of
the principles of equity and right whereon
rest the security of states and the welfare
of peoples."

THE CUBAN REVOLT.
103
THE CUBAN REVOLT.
From Nov. 1, 1897, to April 25,
The record of events in the Cuban rebel-
lion, in The Daily News Almanac for 1898,
was brought down to Nov. 1, 1898.
Active hostilities were resumed between
the insurgent and Spanish forces at the
beginning of the winter season. There was
no yielding on the part of the rebel leaders,
but they were wary and were watching the
course of events in the United States, with
the expectation that this government would
intervene in their behalf. The reports of
starvation and suffering in Cuba were so
well attested that the American people
were rapidly approaching a condition of
sentiment which would ultimately force the
government to espouse -the cause of the
Cubans upon humanitarian grounds if upon
no other.
On the 8th of November Capt.-Gen.
Blanco issued a proclamation of amnesty
In the following terms:
"I pardon in full all those who have been
prosecuted for the crime of rebellion. Keb-
els prosecuted for common crimes, inde-
pendent of rebellion, such as spoliation,
immorality and the like, will be pardoned
as rebels, but judged for other offenses
committed by them. '
The proclamation of amnesty had no ef-
fect upon the rebels and passed without
notice from them. Nor did the offer of
autonomy, made by the Spanish govern-
ment late in October, 1897, have any effect
In placating the patriots or satisfying the
conservatives. At a mass-meeting of the
latter, held Oct. 25, it was unanimously
resolved that the conservative party should
energetically oppose autonomy and the pol-
icy of the Sagasta cabinet. The response
of the insurgents to the offer of auton-
omy was more energetic and pronounced.
Toward the end of October a proclamation
was Issued, signed by Capote, president of
the republic of Cuba, and countersigned
by Gens. Gomez and Garcia. The docu-
ment declared that the war would soon end
and in proof of the assertion presented the
following facts:
1. That the public assembly at Guima-
rilla for the election of a new president
was duly announced to the whole world
in spite of Spain's effort to prevent It.
2. The siege and capture of Victoria de
las Tunas.
3. The regular collection of taxes
throughout the island, due to complete civil
and military organization.
4. The stability of the Cuban government
in the free city of Cubitas, continually vis-
ited by noted journalists of the United
States, England and France, and never by
our enemy. .
5. The regular arrivals from abroad of
war materials, food and medical supplies,
and diplomatic and political correspond-
ence, papers, etc.
6. The establishment of diplomatic agen-
cies of the republic of Cuba in the princi-
pal countries.
7. That out of 250,000 men sent to Cuba
by Spain only 70,000 remain.
8. The lapse of two years and seven
months since the glorious Feb. 24, during
which time Spain has not been able to re-
conquer the island, to the astonishment of
the great European powers, which cannot
understand so long a war io our days.
Spain having at her disposal all the re-
sources of an established power.
9. The impossibility of Spain's floating in
Paris, London or Berlin a loan to continue
the war in Cuba, and the exhaustion of the
Spanish treasury.
10. The daily desertion from the Spanish
ranks of her soldiers, the lack of food ad-
mitted by the Madrid press, and the fact
that the Spanish treasury is eight months
in arrears In the pay of her troops.
11. The noted failures of Gens. Calleja,
Campos, Morin and Weyler.
12. The ruin of the interior and exterior
trade of the towns still in Spain's posses-
sion and the paralyzing of fatm work caused
by the Cuban republic.
13. The inaction of the Spanish troops in
Camaguey and in Santa Clara, where Go-
mez' Headquarters are, Weyler having sys-
tematically refused to fight.
14. The uselessness of the reconcentration
methods of Weyler.
The proclamation closes with a declara-
tion that autonomy will never be accepted;
that the assassination of their chiefs is not
to be forgotten and that their memory will
not be offended by surrendering to auton-
omy. The last sentence of the document is:
"Therefore, while rejecting the autonomy
so lately offered by Spain, we do not believe
it necessary to remind her that our laws
punish as guilty of .high treason all persons
who come to the territory of free Cuba with
overtures for the establishment of peace
through autonomy." As might be expected,
the Spaniards saw that autonomy was a
failure from the first and little effort was
made to establish it. -
On Sunday, Nov. 21, the palace of the
captain-general was ffeed upon by a party of
rebels from Casa Blanca, some 600 yards
across the entrance .to the harbor. Gen.
Rafael de Cardenas, with a band of fifty
rebels, had effected an entrance to Casa
Blanca shortly before midnight, and about 4
o'clock they retired, each man leading an
extra horse .loaded with booty of all kinds.
During the month engagements were re-
ported on the heights -of Romero, in Pinar
del Rio, and at La Cuchilla de los Caimitos,
In which the rebels were defeated with
slight loss. A little' later several rebel
camps at Aranjuez were broken up. An-
other engagement was reported at Piedra,
in Santiago province, In which the insur-
gents were forced to retreat.
An important victory was gained by the
rebels at Guisa, fifteen miles from Bayamo,
under the command of Gens. Rabi and Kios,
in which ninety Spaniards were killed be-
sides the commanding officer and several
blockhouses destroyed. A successful rebel
raid was made Dec. 9 on Calmanera, the
port of Guantanamo, and goods to the va'ue
of $30,000 were carried off. About the same
time a rebel force under Gen. Rabi besieged
the town of Guamo, near Cauto, and tfce
Spanish garrison was forced tt> retreat with
a loss of 150.
DEATH OF RUIZ.
One of the most tragic events of the war
was the death of .Toaquin Ruiz, who left
Havana on the 16th QI December for the
purpose of consulting' with, the insurgent
leaders with a view of inducing them to
accept the proffered autonomy proposed by
104
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
Spain. Ruiz was a lieutenant-colonel of en-
gineers in the Spanish army. He went to
the camp of Gen. Nestor Aranguren for the
purpose of inducing him to abandon the
rebel cause and to accept autonomy. The
two men were intimate friends and Ruiz
had no doubt as to the success of his mis-
sion. Ruiz perfectly understood the fact
that the proclamation of the president of
the Cuban republic threatened with death
any one who should enter their camps offer-
ing terms of peace upon any terms other
than complete independence. As Ruiz did
not return to Havana at the time specified
upon his departure Gen. Blanco became
alarmed for his safety and asked the aid of
Consul-General Lee to obtain his release if
he was a prisoner. Ruiz had already been
executed and the following is the official re-
port of the circumstances: "Col. Ruiz
wrote to Aranguren saying he wished to
have an interview with him, but Aranguren
refused to enter into the proposition, know-
ing the purpose of his visit. In the face of
this and in spite of the counsels of his
friends in Havana, Ruiz went on his mis-
sion. Only four days previously Aranguren
bad solemnly bound himself by oath to fight
to the death for independence. He only did
his duty as a soldier in ordering an instant
court-martial, which tried Ruiz and or-
dered him to be shot to death. Aranguren
declares that Ruiz entered the Cuban camp
accompanied by two guides who were de-
serters from the rebel army: that he bore
no flag of truce, and that the moment he
came into Aranguren's presence he broached
the subject of autonomy and amnesty in the
hearing of several of Arauguren's officers."
In answer to the criticisms passed upon
Aranguren for this act the Cuban junta in
New York made the following explanation
in justification of Aranguren's conduct:
"Col. Ruiz tried to avail himself of Aran-
guren's friendship to win the young Cuban
chief over to the Spanish cause. He was
warned by Aranguren not to take the fatal
step, as he knew what the consequences
would be. He did not heed his friend's ad-
vice and went. Now Ruiz was a military
man and knew what military orders meant
and how military men have to act in such
cases. The Cuban war is no 'child's play
and decrees are not made to be set aside at
the pleasure of the first-comer. No mili-
tary chief in the world would tolerate any
emissary of the enemy to come freely among
his men and promote desertion, destroy dis-
cipline and demoralize them with offers of
any kind. Aranguren acted as any mili-
tary man would have done in his place.
Perhaps no one more than he deplores what
has happened; yes, the case may be de-
plored, but It was justifiable. It was dire
necessity."
The death of Ruiz was avenged on the
19th of January. Aranguren was in the
habit of visiting a lady in the Tapaste
hills, in the province of Havana. On this
occasion he was betrayed by Clando Mo-
rales, a negro camp follower of the insur-
gents. The house was surrounded and Aran-
guren, his mistress, her sister, Aranguren's
body servant and a child were all killed.
Although an election had been held in
September, at wrhich Capote had been
chosen president, another was ordered in
December, at which Bartolome Masso was
selected as his successor. This peculiar
proceeding wa« due to the fact that the
military leaders were distrustful of Capote
in case terms of peace should be offered by
Spain to the insurgents. The leaders were
opposed to any treating with Spain or to
the receptiou of any proposals except inde-
pendence from the mother country. On the
21st of January it was reported from Ha-
vana that Esperanza, the rebel capital in
the Cubitas hills, had been captured by a
Spanish force under Gen. Castello, with
2,600 troops. He is reported to have burned
all the houses in the city, together with the
government buildings, and that on the fol-
lowing day he met and routed a rebel force
of 2,500 men in the Infierno forests.
The reversal of Weyler's orders respecting
the reconcentrados on the 10th of Novem-
ber had no effect in improving the condi-
tion of those unfortunates or in relieving
the distress and suffering of the pacificos.
Early in 1898 several United States sen-
ators visited Cuba with the view of ascer-
taining the exact condition of affairs. The
reports of these men electrified the whole
country as well as congress, and the speeches
of Senators Galiinger of New Hampshire,
Thurston of Nebraska and Proctor of Ver-
mont portrayed the actual condition of the
starving, suffering people of Cuba. Senator
Proctor made his report to the senate on the
17th of March in a long speech, from which
the following is an extract:
"West of Havana is mainly the rich to-
bacco country; east, so far as I went, a
sugar region. Nearly all the sugar mills
are destroyed between Havana and Sagua.
Two or three were standing in the vicinity
of Sagua and in part running, surrounded,
as are the villages, by trochas and 'forts,'
or palisades of the royal palm, and fully
guarded. Toward and near Cienfuegos
there were more mills running, but all with
the same protection. All the country peo-
ple in the four western provinces, about
400.000 in number, remaining outside the
fortified towns when Weyler's order was
made, were driven into these towns, and
these are the reconcentrados.' They were
the peasantry, many of them farmers, some
land-owners, others renting lands, and own-
ing more or less stock; others working on
estates and cultivating small patches, and
even a small patch in that fruitful clime
will support a family. Some of them had
houses of stone, the blackened walls of
which are all that remain to show that the
country was ever inhabited. The first
clause of Weyler's order reads as follows:
'First— All the inhabitants of the. country or
outside the line of fortifications of the
towns shall, within the period of eight days,
concentrate themselves in the town so oc-
cupied by the troops. Any individual who.
after the expiration of this period, is found
in the uninhabited parts will be considered
a rebel and tried as such.' Many doubtless
did not learn of this order. Others failed
to grasp its terrible meaning. Its execu-
tion was left largely to the guerrillas to
drive in all that had not obeyed, and I was
informed that in many cases a torch was
applied to their homes with no notice and
the inmates fled with such clothing as they
might have on, their stock and other be-
longings being appropriated by the guer-
rillas. When they reached the town they
were allowed to build huts of palm leaves
in the suburbs and vacant places within the
trochas. and left to live if they could.
Their huts are about 10 by 15 feet in size
and for want of space are usually crowded
together very closely. They have no floor
but the ground and no furniture, and after
a year's wear but little clothing except
such stray substitutes as they can extem-
porize. With large families or with more

than one in this little space, the commonest
sanitary provisions are impossible. Condi-
tions are unmentionable in this respect.
Torn from their homes, with foul earth, foul
air, foul water and foul food, or none, what
wonder that one-half have died and that
one-quarter of the living are so diseased
that they cannot be saved!
"Of the hospitals I need not speak.
Others have described their condition far
better than I can. It is not within the nar-
row limits of my vocabulary to portray it.
I went to Cuba with a strong conviction
that the picture had been overdrawn; that
a few cases of starvation and suffering had
inspired and stimulated the press corre-
spondents, and they had given free play to a
strong, natural and highly cultivated imag-
ination. What I saw I cannot tell so that
others can see it. It must be seen with
one's own eyes to be realized. The Los
Pasos hospital in Havana has been recently
described by one of my colleagues. Senator
Gallinger, and I cannot say that his picture
was overdrawn, for even his fertile pen
could 'not do more. He visited it after Dr.
Lescar, one of Miss Barton's very able and
efficient assistants, had renovated it and
put in cots. I saw it when 400 women and
children were lying on the stone floors in an
Indescribable state of emaciation and dis-
ease, many with the scantiest covering of
rags — and such rags!— and sick children,
naked as they came Into the world. And
the conditions in the other cities are even
worse.
"When will the need for this help end?
Not until peace comes and the reconcen-
trados can go back to their country, rebuild
their homes, reclaim their tillage plats,
which quickly run up to brush in that won-
derful soil and clime, and until they can be
free from danger of molestation in so doing.
Until then the American people must in
the main care for them. It is true that
the alcaldes, other local authorities and re-
lief committees are now trying to do some-
thing, and desire, I believe, to do the best
they can. But the problem is beyond their
means and capacity and the work is one to
which they are not accustomed."
Xo accurate report has been made, and
probably it is impossible to make one, that
will give the number of deaths by starva-
tion that followed Weyler's order for con-
centrating the non-combatants in the forti-
fied towns held by the Spanish forces, but
conservative estimates place the number at
from 200,000 to 400,000 persons.
AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
On the 17th of March the Cuban junta In
New York issued the following address:
"To the American People: The frequency
with which there have lately appeared in
the public press suggestions made by ma-
licious or misinformed Individuals that
Cuba would accept or could be forced to ac-
cept autonomy, or anything short of Inde-
pendence, has Impelled us to make a defi-
nite and final statement on this subject.
"From the first our motto has been 'In-
dependence or death.' We are now more
•irmly than ever determined to carry out our
programme. As we will not accept, we will
not even discuss the proposals of autonomy.
After three years of the most sanguinary,
barbarous and uncivilized warfare of mod-
ern times, carried on by Spain, we are
stronger than ever. It is for us to say what
will satisfy us. not for others. Our ideals
and our national honor we can confide to
the keeping of ourselves alone.
"I cannot think that the American people
have forgotten the principle laid down in
their own declaration of independence, nor
can I believe that any true American can be
found who would advise us to forsake the
ideal of republican government for the mo-
narchical, even in its most liberal form.
"There is no way to compel the Cubans
to accept autonomy except by force of arms.
We have fought three years, not against
Spain alone, but against the whole world.
Not a helping band was extended to us, no
country gave us equal rights with Spain.
The right to arm our people by purchasing
weapons in this country and transporting
them to Cuba is admitted, but although en-
gaged in lawful traffic we had to run the
blockade to get from these shores, and again
run the gantlet in Cuba. Our ships and
cargoes were seized, subjected to delay, but
invariably restored by the slow and costly
process of the law. Nevertheless we never
faltered. We always appreciated the fact
that the sympathy of the American people
was with us. Spain has proved impotent to
compel us by force to accept autonomy.
She now desires the aid of the United
States to compel us to accept.
"I cannot believe that the American peo-
ple would lend themselves to the most
treacherous and bloodstained monarchy of
history for such a purpose. Should such
prove to be the case, however, I declare in
the name of the Cuban people in arms that
force alone can compel our submission. We,
who have seen hundreds of thousands of
our race and families exterminated by slow
starvation by a cowardly decree of the most
inhuman commander of sanguinary Spain,
will fight against anything but independ-
ence, no matter who opposes us.
"If, unfortunately, this incredible pro-
posal be carried into effect, and American
bayonets are arrayed against us in our
struggle for freedom and in aid of the
Spanish monarchy, we will fight on, sadly
but determinedly, and let history judjre
whether the vanquished had not a purer
ideal of free Institutions than the victors.
In such case we will be exterminated, but
future generations will again take up our
flag and our aspirations and Cuba will yet
be free. Nor will we ever agree to a truce
until our independence is established. We
will continue to fight, as did the Americans
under Jackson at the battle of New Orleans,
even after the treaty of peace is signed, if
it should be necessary.
"The Cubans cannot be convinced that
the United States will ever try to force us
to remain under the Spanish flag, but I have
deemed it my duty to appeal to the gener-
osity, the sympathy and the patriotism of
the American people, to the end that they
may understand the justice and firmness of
our demand for complete independence.
"TOMAS ESTRADA PALMA."
In the senate several resolutions were in-
troduced which expressed the sense of that
body upon the Cuban situation. On the
29th of March the following resolutions were
offered. Those by Senator Allen (Pop.) of
Nebraska were as follows:
"Whereas. The war now and for some
time past being waged between the king-
dom of Spain and the Cuban insurgents h>is
fully demonstrated the total inability of the
former to subdue the insurgents; and,
"Whereas, Said war has become one of

tates of Christian civilization and common
humanity alike demand the spoedy cessa-

tion now going on in the island of Cuba;
and,
"Whereas, Under existing circumstances
It is the bounden duty of the United States
to intervene; and,
"Whereas, The assertion of the Monroe
doctrine, forbidding interference of foreign
powers in the affairs of any state or nation
on the western hemisphere, creates an
obligation on the part of the United States
to guarantee the people thereof against un-
usual cruelties and barbarities and exter-
mination by any such foreign power; and,
"Whereas, The Cubans have, in the opin-
ion of the American people and of congress,
by their valor and sacrifices during the four
years of war, won their independence from
Spain and are entitled to political recogni-
tion by the United States; and,
"Whereas, It is apparent that Spain can
no longer govern or control the people of
Cuba; therefore,
"Resolved, by the senate and the house of
representatives. "That the republic of Cuba,
now and for some time maintained by force
of arms, is hereby recognized by the United
States of America as a separate and inde-
pendent nation; that the United States shall
immediately intervene and put an end to
the war now being waged on the island of
Cuba, and shall succor and release from im-

Cubans with the necessary food, raiment
and medicine for their immediate relief

much thereof as may be necessary, is here-
by appropriated out of any money in the
treasury not otherwise appropriated."
Senator Foraker (Rep.) of Ohio offered the
following:
"Be it resolved by the senate and the
house of representatives of the United
States of America:
"1. That the people of the island of Cuba
are, and of right ought to be, free and inde-
pendent.
"2. That the government of the United
States hereby recognizes the republic of
Cuba as the true and lawful government of
that island.
"3. That the war Spain is waging against
Cuba is so destructive of the commercial
and property interests of the United States
and so cruel, barbarous and inhuman in
its character as to make it the duty of
the United States to demand, and the gov-
ernment of the United States does hereby
demand, that she at once withdraw her land
and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters.
"4. That the president of the United
States be and hereby is authorized, em-
powered and directed to use if necessary
the entire land and naval forces of the
United States to carry these resolutions into
effect."
Senator Frye (Rep.) of Maine presented
these: •
"Whereas, The war which has been waged
In the island of Cuba for the last three
years has been conducted by the Spanish
government in violation of the rales of
civilized warfare; said government has
driven the unarmed and peaceable inhab-
itants from their homes and forced them
within the armed camps, where it has per-
mitted hundreds of thousands of men,
women and children to die of starvation.
and as a result of this system of inhuman
warfare tens of thousands of the helpless
people are now dying for want of food; and,
"Whereas, The war has paralyzed and
almost destroyed the large commercial rela-
tions which have heretofore existed be-
tween the United States and Cuba, and has
rendered useless and brought to ruin the
many millions of dollars of property of
American citizens invested in the island;
and,
"Whereas, The existence and prolongation
of the hostilities have imposed heavy finan-
cial expenditures and burdensome official
labors upon the government of the United
States in the enforcement of its neutrality
laws; and,
"Whereas, The consuls of the United
States and other impartial and competent
observers have reported that the Spanish
government has lost control of much of the
greater portion of the island; that it is
powerless to restore its authority and bri»g
about peace, and that a continuance of the
contest will have no other effect than to
increase the horrors, misery and starvation
which now exist, to utterly extinguish the
commerce with and destroy the property of
American citizens and add to the expense
and burdens of the government of the
United States; therefore,
"Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America in congress assembled, That the
E resident of the United States be and he is
ereby directed and empowered to take such
effective steps as in his discretion may be
necessary to secure a speedy termination of
the hostilities between the government of
Spain and the people of Cuba, the with-
drawal of the military and naval forces of
Spain from said island and the complete
independence of said people."
Senator Rawlins (Rep.) of Utah offered
the following:
"Whereas, The war waged by the kingdom
of Spain against the people of Cuba has
destroyed the commerce between them and
the people of the United States, and its
revival will be impossible so long as such
war may continue; and.
"Whereas, By the authority of that king-
dom, in the course of such war, much
American property has been destroyed and
many American citizens, -without just
cause, have been Imprisoned and some as-
sassinated in their prison cells; and,
"Whereas, While our ship Maine was at
anchor in the harbor of Havana, within the
dominion and under the control of the king-
dom of Spain, at a place designated by her
authority, that ship and most of the men on
board in the service of their country, by the
explosion of a submarine mine, were will-
fully, wickedly and treacherously mangled
and destroyed; and.
"Whereas, The kingdom of Spain has
proved herself incompetent to tranquillize
the island of Cuba either by the methods of
peace or by means of civilized warfare, and,
accordingly, has proceeded to make desolate
the homes of its peaceful inhabitants, driv-
ing men, women and children into guarded
camps, detaining them there without mak-
ing provisions to shelter, clothe or feed
them, thus willfully causing their exter-
mination to the number of hundreds of thou-
sands by the slow and torturous process of
starvation; and.
"Whereas, Against these wrongs, against
these revolting acts of inhumanity, this gov-
ernment has time and again made peaceful

same time endeavoring by a helpful char

and,
"Whereas, While regretting the necessity
— now imperious— for such action, but mind-

to humanity, and with a clear consciousness

representatives of the United States of

the same is hereby declared, and that the
president is hereby authorized and directed
to employ the land and naval forces of the
United States of America to wage such war
to success."
The feeling in the house of representa-
tives was as pronounced as in the senate,
although less active. On the 30th of March
Representative Mahany (Rep.) of New York
presented the following:
"Whereas, It has been the immemorial
spirit of the American republic to foster,
with due respect to the just restrictions of
international obligations, the growth of
freedom everywhere in the world, and es-
pecially in the western hemisphere; and,
"Whereas, The kingdom of Spain has dur-
ing the last three years failed utterly t<

or to exhibit the attributes of actual sov-
eignty, either in the conduct of the war or
the civil administration of the law; and,
"Whereas, During the same period the
Cuban insurgents have continuously had
and victoriously defended nine-tenths of
Cuban territory; and,
"Whereas, The war as now prosecuted by
the Spanish forces in that island dooms un-
counted thousands of non-combatants — old,
helpless men, defenseless women and chil-
dren—to the inconceivable horrors of death
by starvation; now, therefore, be it
"Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America in congress assembled, That the
American people, impelled by a solemn
sense of their duty to humanity and ani-
mated with a Just regard for the rights of
a people who have heroically sacrificed and
nobly battled to be free, do hereby recog-
nize the republic of Cuba as a free and in-
dependent state and welcome her to the sis-
terhood of republics in the western world."
Similar resolutions were offered by Brod-
erick (Rep.) of Kansas, Wheeler (Deru.) Of
Alabama, Adamson (Dem.) of Georgia, Todd
(Pop.) of Michigan and others.
The result of these resolutions was a con-
ference committee of the two houses of con-
gress, when the fallowing preamble and
resolutions were agreed upon and adopted
April 19, 1898:
"Whereas, The abhorrent conditions
which have existed for more than three
years in the island of Cuba, so near our
own borders, have shocked the moral sense
of the people of the United States, have
been a disgrace to Christian civilization,
culminating, as they have, in the destruc-
tion of a United States battleship, with 266
of its officers and crew, while on a friendly
visit in the harbor of Havana, and cannot
longer be endured, as has been set forth
by the president of the United States in
his message to congress, April 11, 1898, upon
which the action of congress was invited;
therefore,
"Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America in congress assembled:
"1. That the people of the island of Cuba
are, and of right ought to be, free and in-
dependent.
"2. That it is the duty of the United
States to demand, and the government of
the United States does hereby demand, that
the government of Spain at once relinquish
its authority and government in the island
of Cuba and withdraw its land and naval
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
"3. That the president of the United
States be. and he hereby is, directed and
empowered to use the entire land and naval
forces of the United States, and to call into
the actual service of the United States the
militia of the several states, to such an ex-
tent as may be necessary to carry these
resolutions into effect.
"4. That the United States hereby dis-
claims any disposition or intention to exer-
cise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over
said island, except for the pacification
thereof; and asserts its determination,
when that is accomplished, to leave the gov-
ernment and control of the island to its peo-
ple."

war bill was passed by congress pursuant to
the request or the president, as conveyed in
his message to congress bearing date April
25, 1898.
THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR.
In his message to congress, transmitted on
the 6th of December. 1897, the president re-
viewed the history of the relations subsist-
ing between the United States and the gov-
ernment of Spain in which the island of
Cuba was involved for the last seventy-five
or eighty years. This message may be
found in The Daily News Almanac for 1898,
page 216.
The war with Spain was not inspired on
the part of this country either by a spas-
modic outburst of sympathy for the Cuban
patriots or by a sudden resentment against
Spain for her efforts to force the suffering
insurgents again into a condition worse
than that of servitude. Nor was it encour-
aged by the American people against a na-
tion their inferiors in every way with the
expectation or hope of acquiring territorial
or financial gain or benefit. For more than
half a century the people of the United
States had witnessed the almost continuous
efforts of the Cubans to free themselves
from a government wholly infamous and
universally detested by the vast majority of
the Inhabitant* of the island. They had
108
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOE 1899.
seen the insurgents cruelly butchered after
each failure to secure their freedom and
basely cheated in all the promises that
Spain had made to better their condition.
They understood that Spain had become in-
capable of governing Cuba because the
measures employed by her for that purpose
were those of past centuries, which the
civilized world had long ago outgrown and
abandoned. They understood that Cuba was
held by Spain only for the purpose of plun-
dering and robbing her people for the benefit
of the Spanish treasury and the corrupt and
dishonest horde of officials sent by the
home government to enrich themselves at
the expense of a suffering race. Through
all this long period public opinion in the
United States was gradually becoming more
and more in favor of freedom for the Cubans
and for the extinction of Spanish tyranny on
this continent. The government of the
•United States had been exceedingly con-
servative upon the subject • of the various
Cuban revolutions. Peace and friendly rela-
tions had long existed between the two
countries, although the efforts of lawless in-
dividuals who sympathized with the insur-
gents in Cuba had several times nearly in-
volved the government in war with Spain.
It had come to be simply a question of
time when the people of the United States
would force the government to intervene in
the affairs of Cuba and put a stop to the
wars and disorders that had been increasing
in number and severity for the last fifty
years. Besides this, American interests in
Cuba were increasing in value and im-
portance, while the trade and commerce
between this country and the island were
becoming too important to be disturbed or
sacrificed by the disordered condition of po-
litical affairs. It will thus be seen that
the people of the United States, as
well as their government, had reached the
firm conviction that safety for themselves
demanded that Spanish rule in Cuba must
and should terminate. This was the uni-
versal sentiment in this country when con-
gress met in December, 1897, the only differ-
ence of opinion being as to how such a de-
sirable condition of things should or could
be brought about.
A short synopsis of the various revolution-
ary movements in Cuba for the last seventy-
five years may not be devoid of interest, as
they tend to show the spirit and determina-
tion of the Cubans and the difficulty this
country has had in preserving the friend'y
relations that existed unbroken between the
United States and Spain. An English au-
thority, in speaking of Cuba, said, as long
ago as 1875, that "the deprivation of polit-
ical, civil and religious liberty, and the ex-
clusion from all public stations, combined
with heavy taxation to maintain the
standing army and navy, have resulted
in a deadly hatred between the native
Cubans and the mass of officials sent
from Spain. This has manifested itself in
frequent uprisings for greater privileges and
freedom." Inspired by these acts of injus-
tice the first revolution broke out in 1829 and
is known in history as the conspiracy of the
"Black Eagle." This was quickly sup-
pressed and most of the participants who
were taken alive were put to death. In
1844 the black population in the province of
Matanzas revolted, but little or nothing was
done that could give it the character of nn
armed revolution except the severity with
which the Spanish government treated those
who were supposed to have been involved in
it. More than 1,300 persons were convicted
of complicity with the affair; about eighty
were shot, a large number of others were
variously punished and the incident was
over. Of those convicted only fourteen were
white, while 1,242 were free colored and
some sixty were slaves.
The Lopez conspiracy was fomented in
1849. Narciso Lopez, a Venezuelan by birth
but a Spanish officer by profession, made an
attempt to invade Cuba with a small fili-
bustering force, but was intercepted by the
Spanish authorities and his • efforts were
held in abeyance. The next year he resumed
operations and effected a landing at Car-
denas with 600 men, but before he obtained
a foothold he was compelled to abandon the
undertaking and to re-embark his men. hie
was pursued to Key West by a Spanish ves-
sel. In 1851 he attempted to take advantage
of a revolt in Cuba and set out from New
Orleans with 450 men and landed at Play-
itas, near Havana. Meeting a strong Span-
ish force he retreated into the interior and
he and all his companions were captured.
Lopez was taken to Havana, where he was
garroted Aug. 16, 1851. Of his companions
some were shot, but the most of them were
transported and afterward pardoned.
In 1854 another filibustering expedition
was set on foot by Gen. Quitinan of Missis-
sippi, who was a veteran of the Mexican
war. The leaders were betrayed and the at-
tempt wholly failed.
While the government of the United
States did its best to prevent its citizens
from engaging in these lawless adventures
they served to seriously complicate the rela-
tions between the government and Spain.
The Madrid government was displeased with
the act of this country when, in 1852, it de-
clined to join with France and Great Brit-
ain in a treaty, guaranteeing to Spain the
possession of Cuba, and this made her still
more alert against all revolutionary move-
ments on the island and watchful for Amer-
ican connection with them. This led to
collisions between Spain and American citi-
zens, of which the attack on an American
steamer, the Black Warrior, by a Spanish war
vessel was an instance. To put an end to
all causes of trouble between Spain and the
United States President Polk proposed to
the Spanish government a transference of
the island of Cuba to this country for the
sum of $1,000,000, which was refused. Ten
years later a proposal was debated in con-
gress to offer Spain $30,000,000 for the island,
but nothing came of it.
The breaking out of the revolution in
Spain which resulted in the abdication of
8ueen Isabella, in 1868, encouraged the
uban liberals to set on foot a new revolt.
In October of that year Carlos M. de Ces-
pedes collected a force of 128 men near
Bayamo and issued a declaration of inde-
pendence Oct. 10. dated at Manzanillo. The
rebellion immediately assumed formidable
proportions and within three weeks Ces-
pedes had a rabble of nearly 15,000 poorly
armed but determined men at his com-
mand. On the 18th of October, 1868, the
city of Bayamo was taken, and on the 28th
the jurisdiction of Holguin revolted. In No-
vember the insurgents defeated a Spanish
force sent against them from Santiago de
Cuhj). and a number of Spanish-American
republics recognized the belligerency of the
Cuban patriots. For the first two years of
the revolution the insurgents were almost
uniformly successful. They maintained an
army of 50.000 men, but they had great diffi-
culty in supplying them with arms and am-

munition. The result was that in 1871 a
large portion of the rebel forces in central
Cuba laid down their arms! Gen. Agra-
monte, however, refused to do so, and, with
his cavalry as a nucleus, he organized an
army and kept up the war for two years un-
til he was killed. In 1873 Cespedes, who had
been chosen president of the republic of
Cuba by the provisional congress, was de-
posed and Cisneros was chosen in his place.
Cespedes was later billed by the Spaniards.
In a desultory way the war was continued
until 1878, when Gen. Martinez Campos on
behalf of Spain brought it to a close by
promises of concessions and reforms, and
a treaty of peace was entered Into near Kl
Zanjon in February of that year. In this
ten years of war Spain employed 235,298
men, of whom 81,098 died or were killed.
No one of the promises made by Gen. Cam-
pos, as a condition for the surrender of the
rebels, was ever kept.
The Virginius affair did more than any
previous incident to arouse the American
people against Spain. The Virginius was a
blockade-running steamer that was taken
during our civil war and sold as a prize.
She was purchased by an American and
given an American register. While cruising
in Caribbean waters she was captured by
the Spanish gunboat Tornado. Oct. 31, 1873,
and taken into the port of Santiago de Cuba.
She had on board 155 persons, some of whom
were British and others American subjects.
The men were immediately tried, and before
Nov. 8 six British and thirty Americans had
been shot. Further executions were pre-
vented by the arrival of the British warship
Niobe, commanded by Sir Lambton Lorraine,
who threatened to bombard the city if the
executions were not stopped. The United
States government took the case in hand
and instructed Gen. Sickles, our minister at
Madrid, to demand satisfaction from Spain
for the outrage. It was not until Gen.
Sickles had demanded his passports from
the Spanish government that an arrange-
ment was effected. The result was that on
the 19th of December, 1873, the Virginius
and the surviving crew were surrendered to
the United States and the sum of $80,000
was paid by Spain as an indemnity to the
American families who had suffered by the
killing of their members. This brings the
story of Cuba's efforts for freedom and
America's connection therewith down to the
revolution that broke out in February, 1895.
It is unnecessary to go over the events of
this revolt, as they have been given in de-
tail in The Daily News Almanac for the
years 1896, 1897, 1898 and In the present
volume.
The devotion of the Cubans to their cause,
the brutality and inhumanity with which
the peaceable inhabitants of the island have
been treated and the inability of our gov-
ernment to induce Spain to adopt reforms in
the island that would be acceptable to tho
Cubans made intervention a duty the United
States could not evade. It is possible that
war might have been avoided had not a
number of unfortunate circumstances pre-
vented. The bitterness in Havana against
this country, the insulting procrastination
with which Spain treated every attempt of
the United States to bring about an amica-
ble settlement of existing difficulties, the
avowed determination of Weyler to depopu-
late the island by starving the non-comba-
tants, regardless of sex or age, and the
sacrifice of all American interests In Cuba
aroused the people of this country to a
pitch of feeling that was wholly new and
irresistible.
The first event after the beginning of the
new year (1898) to seriously disturb the pub-
lic mind was the publication of a letter
written by Senor de Lome, the Spanish
minister at Washington, to Jose Canalejas,
which contained very insulting and depre-
catory references to the president. This
letter was given out by the Cuban junta and
published Feb. 8, 1898. Literally translated
it was as follows:
"Legation de Espana, Washington.— Eximo
Senor Don Jose Canalejas— My Distinguished
and Dear Friend: You need not apologize
for not having written to me. I also ought
to have written to you, but have not done
so on account of being weighed down, with
work and nous sommes quittes.
"The situation here continues unchanged.
Everything depends on the political and
military success in Cuba. The prologue of
this second method of warfare will end the
day that the colonial cabinet will be ap-
pointed, and it relieves us in the eyes of
this country of a part of the responsibility
for what may happen there, and they must
cast the responsibility upon the Cubans,
whom they believe to be so Immaculate.
"Until then we will not be able to see
clea»ly, and I consider It to be a loss of
time and an advance by the wrong road, the
sending of emissaries to the rebel field, the
negotiating with the autonomists not yet
declared to be legally constituted and the
discovery of the intentions and purpose of
this government. The exiles will return one
by one, and when they return will come
walking Into tue sheepfold, and the chiefs
will gradually return. Neither of these had
the courage to leave en masse, and they will
not have the courage to thus return.
"The message has undeceived the insur-
gents, who expected something else, and has
paralyzed the action of congress, but I con-
sider it bad. Besides the natural and in-
evitable coarseness with which he repeats
all that the press and public opinion of
Spain, has said of Weyler, it shows once
more what McKinley is, weak and catering
to the rabble, and besides, a low politician,
who desires to leave a door open to me and
to stand well with th» jingoes of his party.
"Nevertheless, as a matter of fact, it will
only depend on ourselves whether be will
prove bad and adverse to us. I agree en-
tirely with you, without a military success
nothing will be accomplished there, and
without military and political success there
is here always danger that the insurgents
will be encouraged, if not by the govern-
ment, at least by part of the public opinion.
"I do not believe you pay enough attention
to the role of England. Nearly all that
newspaper canaille which swarms in your
hotel are English, and at the same time
that they are correspondents of the Journal
they are also correspondents of the best
newspapers and reviews of London. Thus it
has been since the beginning. To my mind
the only object of England is that the
Americans should occupy themselves with
us and leave her in peace, and if there is a
war, so much the better; that would further
remove what Is threatening her — although
that will never happen.

effect, and that you should send here a man
of importance in order that I might use him
to make a propaganda among the senators
and others in opposition to the junta and to
win over exiles.
"There goes Amblarad. I believe he comes
too deeply taken up with little political
matters, and there must be something very
great or we shall lose.
"Adela returns your salutation, and we
wish you in the new year to be a messenger
of peace and take this New Year's present

"Always your attentive friend and serv-
ant, who kisses your hands,
"ENRIQUE DUPUY DE LOME."
While there was some question as to how
the letter came into the hands of the junta
there was no doubt of its authenticity, and
when De Lome was called before the secre-
tary of state to explain the matter he
promptly acknowledged the authorship and
assumed full personal responsibility for the
letter, which he declared Senor Canalejas
had never received. De Lome at once
cabled his resignation of office to Madrid,
which was Immediately accepted. While
the Spanish government expressed the most
profound regret for the misconduct of its
representative, the incident increased the
severe tension of the situation. The Span-
ish government at once appointed Senor
Polo y Bernabe to succeed De Lome as its
minister at Washington.
On the 24th of January the United States
battleship Maine, commanded by Capt. C.
D. Sigsbee, was ordered to the harbor of
Havana. The secretary of state, Mr. Day,
took special pains to explain this order by
publicly declaring that the vessel was
sent to Cuba not as a menace to Spain nor
for the purpose of protecting American in-
terests at Havana, but simply as an evi-
dence of "the resumption of friendly naval
relations with Spain." In the orders issued
to Capt. Sigsbee it was expressly set forth
that the vessel was only going to resume
friendly calls at Cuban ports. That such
was the full understanding of the order Is
attested by the declaration of the Spanish
minister at Washington, who said, regard-
ing the visit of the Maine to Havana, that
"the only remote contingency which might
lead to unpleasant consequences would be
gome overt act on the part of the insurgent
sympathizers with the hope of embroiling
Spain and the United States." In acknowl-
edgment of the visit of the Maine to Ha-
vana, the cruiser Vizcaya was ordered by
the Spanish government to visit American
ports, and did come to New York for
that purpose. The Maine had a crew of 354
men, and arrived at the harbor of Havana
on the 25th day of January, 1898. The ship
was assigned anchorage by the regular gov-
ernment pilot. On the 15th of February the
Maine was destroyed by an explosion. Of
her crew 266 men, including two officers,
were killed or received wounds of which
they afterward died. The explosion took
place at 9:40 In the evening. An account of
the affair was piven in these words: "The
night was intensely dark. At a distance of
200 or 300 yards from the doomed ship were
anchored the Ward line's steamer City of
Washington and the Spanish cruiser Alfonso
XII. The men were asleep below; Oapt.
Sigsbee WHS in his cabin. He had just fin-
ished writing a letter when the crash came.
Capt. Sigsbee said: 'The ship lurched heav-
ily to port and I knew In an instant what it
meant — that my ship had blown up.' The
force of the explosion shook the whole water
front of the city and threw down many
telegraph and telephone poles. The cap-
tain's first order was to flood the magazines,
but they were already flooding themselves.
A great flame broke out from the Maine,
illuminating the whole harbor.
On the 8th and 9th of March congress
voted to place in the hands of the president
the sum of $50,000,000 to be expended as he
saw fit as an emergency fund to be used for
the protection of the government. Most of
this fund was expended in the purchase of
war vessels and naval supplies and to put
the army upon a war footing.
A naval court of inquiry was appointed to
ascertain the cause of the destruction of the
Maine, consisting^ of Capt. W. T. Sampson,
U. S. N.; Capt. F. E. Chadwick, U. S. N.;
Lieutenant-Commander A. Marix, U. S. N.,
and Lieutenant-Commander W. P. Potter,
U. S. N. Capt. Sampson was president of
the court and Lieutenant-Commander Marix
was the judge-advocate. The court began
its investigations at Havana on the 26th of
February, and after twenty-three days of
continuous investigation transmitted its
report, with the mass of testimony, to the
president on the 21st of March. The report
was as follows:
"United States Steamship Iowa, First
Rate, Key West, Fla., Monday. March 21,
1898.— After full and mature consideration of
all the testimony before it, the court finds
as follows:
"1. That the United States battleship
Maine arrived in the harbor of Havana,
Cuba, on the 25th day of January, 1898, and
was taken to buoy No. 4, in from five and
one-half to six fathoms of water, by the
regular government pilot.
"The United States consul-general at Ha-
vana had notified the authorities at that
place the previous evening of the intended
arrival of the Maine.
"2. The state of discipline on board the
Maine was excellent, and all orders and
regulations in regard to the care and safety
of the ship were strictly carried out. All
ammunition was stowed away in accordance
with instructions, and proper care was
taken whenever ammunition was handled.
Nothing was stowed in any one of the maga-
zines or shellrooms which was not per-
mitted to be stowed there. The magazines
and shellrooms were always locked after
having been opened, and after the destruc-
tion of the Maine the keys were found in
their proper place in the captain's cabin,
everything having been reported secure that
evening at 8 o'clock.
"The temperatures of the magazines and
shellrooms were taken daily and reported.
The only magazine which had an undue
amount of heat was the after ten-inch
magazine, and that did not explode at the
time the Maine was destroyed.
"The torpedo war heads were all stowed
in the after part of the ship under the
wardroom and neither caused nor partici-
pated in the destruction of the Maine.
"The dry gun cotton primers .and deto-
nators were stowed in the cabin aft and re-
mote from the scene of the explosion.
"The waste was carefully looked after on
board the Maine to obviate danger. Special
orders in regard to this had been given by
the commanding officer.
"Varnishes, driers, alcohol and other com-
bustibles of this nature were stowed on or

Ill
above the main deck and could not have
bad anything to do with the destruction of
the Maine.
"The medical stores were stowed aft un-
der the wardroom and remote from the scene
of explosion. No dangerous stores of any
kind were stowed below In any part of the
other storerooms.
"The coal bunkers were Inspected. Of
these bunkers adjoining the forward maga-
zine and shellrooms four were empty,
namely, B 3, B 4, B 5 and B 6. A 15 had
been in use that day and A 16 was full of
New River coal. This coal had been care-
fully inspected before receiving It on board.
The bunker In which It was stored was ac-
cessible on three sides at all times, and the
fourth side at this time, on account of
bunkers B 4 and B 6 being empty. This
bunker, A 16, had been inspected that day
by the engineer officer on duty.
"The flre-alarms In the bunkers were in
working order, and there had never been a
case of spontaneous combustion of coal on
board the Maine.
"The two after boilers of the ship were In
use at the time of the disaster, but for aux-
iliary purposes only, with a comparatively
low pressure of steam, and being tended by
a reliable watch. These boilers could not
have caused the explosion of the ship. The
four forward boilers have since been found
by the divers, and are In a fair condition.
"On the night of the destruction of the
Maine everything had been reported secure
for the night at 8 p. m. by reliable persons,
through the proper authorities, to the com-
manding officer. At the time the Maine was
destroyed the ship was quiet, and therefore
least liable to accident caused by move-
ments from those on board.
"3. The destruction of the Maine occurred
at 9:40 p. m. on the 15th day of February,
1898, In the harbor of Havana, Cuba, being
at the time moored at the same buoy to
which she had been taken upon her arrival.
"There were two explosions of a distinctly
different character, with a very short but
distinct Interval between them, and the
forward part of the ship was lifted to a
marked degree at the time of the first ex-
plosion.
"The first explosion was more In the
nature of a report like that of a gun, while
the second explosion was more open, pro-
longed and of greater volume. The second
explosion was, in the opinion of the court,
caused by the partial explosion of two or
more of the forward magazines of the
Maine.
"The evidence bearing on this, being
principally obtained from divers, did not
enable the court to form a definite conclu-
sion as to the condition of the wreck, al-
though it was established that the after
part of the ship was practically intact, and
sunk in that condition a very few minutes
after the destruction of the forward part.
"The following facts In regard to the for-
ward part of the ship are, however, estab-
lished by the testimony:
"That portion of the port side of the
protective deck which extends from about
frame 30 to about frame 41 was blown up
aft and over to port. The main deck, from
about frame 30 to obout frame 41, was
blown up aft and slightly over to starboard,
folding the forward part of the middle su-
perstructure over and on top of the after
paTt.
"This was. In the opinion of the court,
caused by the partial explosion of two or
more of the forward magazines of the
Maine.
"5. At frame 17 the outer shell of the
ship, from a point eleven and one-half feet
from the middle line of the ship and six
feet above the keel, when in its normal po-
sition, has been forced up so as to be now
about four feet above the surface of the
water; therefore, about thirty-four feet
above where it would be had the ship sunk
uninjured. The outside bottom plating is
bent Into a reversed V shape, the after
wing of which, about fifteen feet broad and
thirty-two feet in length, from frame 17 to
frame 25, is doubled back upon Itself
against the continuation of the same plating
extending forward.
"At frame 18 the vertical keel Is broken
In two and the flat keel bent Into an angle
similar to the angle formed by the outside
bottom plating. This break is now about
six feet oelow the surface of the water and
about thirty feet above its normal position.
"In the opinion of the court this effect
could have been produced only by the explo-
sion of a mine situated under the bottom of
the ship at about frame 18 and somewhat on
the port side of the ship.
"6. The court finds that the loss of the
Maine, on the occasion named, was not In
any respect due to fault or negligence on
the part of any of the officers or members of
the crew of said vessel.
"7. In the opinion of the court the Maine
was destroyed by the explosion of a subma-
rine mine, which caused the partial explo-
sion of two or more of her forward maga-
zines.
"8. The court has been unable to obtain
evidence fixing the responsibility for the de-
struction of the Maine upon any person or
persons. W. T. SAMPSON,

While these Investigations were in prog-
ress a coort of inquiry was appointed by
Spanish authority to make a similar ex-
amination to that conducted by the Amer-
ican court. The following is a synopsis of
the report of the Spanish officers:
"The report contains declarations made
by ocular witnesses and experts. From
these statements it clearly deduces and
proves the absence of all those attendant
circumstances which are invariably present
on the occasion of the explosion of a tor-
pedo.
"The evidence of witnesses comparatively
close to the Maine at the moment is to the
112
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
effect that only one explosion occurred; that
no column of water was thrown into the air;
that no shock to the side of the nearest ves-
sel was felt, nor on land was any vibration
noticed, and that no dead fish were found.
"The evidence of the senior pilot of the
harbor states that there is abundance of fish
In the harbor, and this is corroborated by
other witnesses. The assistant engineer of
works states mat after the explosions made
during the execution of works in the harbor
he has always found dead fish.
"The divers were unable to examine the
bottom of the Maine, which was buried in
the mud, but a careful examination of the
sides of the vessel, the rents and breaks, in
which all point outward, shows without a
doubt that the explosion was from the in-
side.
"A minute examination of the bottom of
the harbor around the vessel shows abso-
lutely no sign of the action of a torpedo,
and the fiscal (judge-advocate) of the com-
mission can find no precedent for the ex-
plosion of the storage magazines of a vessel
by a torptdo.
"The report makes clear that, owing to
the special nature of the proceedings fol-
lowed and the absolute respect shown for
the extra-territoriality of the Maine, the
commission has been prevented from making
such an examination of the inside of the
vessel as would determine even the hypothe-
sis of the internal origin of the accident.
This is to be attributed to the regrettable
refusal to permit of the necessary co-opera-
tion of the Spanish commission both with
the commander and crew of the Maine and
the different American officials commis-
sioned to investigate the causes of the ac-
cident and later on with those employed in
salvage work.
"The report finishes by stating that an ex-
amination of the inside and outside of the
Maine as soon as such examination may be
possible, as also of the bottom where the
vessel rests, will prove that, supposing the
remains [of the wreck] not to be totally or
partially altered in the process of extrac-
tion, the explosion was undoubtedly due to
some interior cause."
There was only one opinion in the United
States regarding the responsibility for the
loss of the Maine. The American people,
while not asserting that the act was one of
treachery on the part of the -Spanish gov-
ernment, did believe that without complic-
ity on the part of Spanish officials at Morro
castle the vessel would not have been
blown up by mines operated by electric bat-
teries located within that fortification. As
indicating the sentiment at foreign capitals
the plea for peace made by six of the rep-
resentatives of the leading governments of
Europe was significant.
On the 5th of April Consul-General Lee
was directed to leave Havana and return to
the United States, closing the American
consulate in that city. This he did on the
10th inst., turning over the affairs of this
government to the British consul. This was
deemed necessary on account of the threat-
ening attitude of the Spaniards of the city,
and the president believed that the life of
the consul-general was in danger, nn opin-
ion which all the American residents -in
Cuba shared.
On the 7th of April, 1898. several diplo-
matic officials met at the British embassy
shortly before noon and proceeded to the
president's mansion and the department of
state. The party was made up as follows:
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador, dean of the diplomatic corps.
M. Cambon, the French ambassador, and
M. Thiebaut, first secretary of the French
embassy.
Dr. Von Holleben. the German ambas-
sador, with Baron Speck von Sternburg,
first secretary of the German embassy.
Mr. Hengelmuller, the Austrian minister.
Count Vinci, the Italian charge d'affaires.
Mr. de Wollant, the Russian charge
d'affaires.
Arriving at the white house they were
ushered into the blue room and there were
received by President McKinley. After a
social exchange and mutual well wishes Sir
Julian Pauncefote said:
"Mr. President: We have been commis-
sioned by the great powers of Europe, whom
we represent here to-day, to approach your
excellency with a message of friendship and
peace at the present critical juncture in the
relations between the United States and
Spain, and to convey to you the sentiments
expressed in the collective note which I
have the honor to place in your hands."
The British ambassador then handed to
President McKinley the collective note of
the powers, which reads as follows:
"The undersigned, representatives of Ger-
many, Austria-Hungary, France, Great
Britain, Italy and Russia, duly authorized
in that behalf, address, in the name of their
respective governments, a pressing appeal
to the feelings of humanity and moderation
of the president and of the American people
in their existing differences with Spain.
They earnestly hope that further negotia-
tions will lead to en agreement which,
while securing the maintenance of peace,
will afford all necessary guaranties for the
re-establishment of order in Cuba.
"The powers do not doubt that the hu-
manitarian and purely disinterested char-
acter of this representation will be fully
recognized and appreciated by the American
nation."
President McKinley then handed to Sir
Julian Pauncefote the answer of the United
States, as follows:
"The government of the United States
recognizes the good will which has prompted
the friendly communication of the repre-
sentatives of Germany, Austria-Hungary,
France, Great Britain, Italy and Russia, as
set forth in the address of your excellencies,
and shares the hope therein expressed that
the outcome of the situation in Cuba may
be the maintenance of peace between the
United States and Spain by affording the
necessary guaranties for the re-establish-
ment of order in the island, so terminating
the chronic condition of disturbance there
which so deeply injures the interests and
menaces the tranquillity of the American
nation by the character and consequences of
the struggle thus kept up at our doors, be.
sides shocking its sentiment of humanity.
"The government of the United States ap-
preciates the humanitarian and disinter-
ested character of the communication now
made on behalf of the powers named, and
for its part is confident that equal appre-
ciation will be shown for its own earnest
and unselfish endeavors to fulfill a duty to
humanity by ending a situation the indefi-
nite prolongation of which has become in-
sufferable."
THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR.
113
On the 10th of April the Spanish minister
presented to Assistant Secretary of State
Day the final plea of his government for
peace. It was as follows:
"The minister plenipotentiary of Spain
has the honor to inform the honorable secre-
tary of state of the United States of Amer-
ica that her majesty the Queen regent,
yielding to the reiterated requests of his
holiness, and inspired by sentiments of
peace and concord which animate her, has
given proper instructions to the general-in-
chief of the army of Cuba, in order that he
should concede an immediate suspension of
hostilities for such time as he shall deem
prudent for preparing and facilitating peace
in that island.
"Gen. Blanco has published to-day the
corresponding proclamation, and reserved to
himself to fix in another the term and other
details of its execution, with the sole object
of making sure that a measure of such
transcendent importance may lead in the
shortest possible time to the desired pacifi-
cation of the Great Antilla. In the fixing
of this term the general-in-cbief, inspired by
the most elevated sentiments, far from rais-
ing any difficulties or obstacles, is disposed
to concede all possible facilities.
"The government of her majesty by this
Important measure has crowned its extraor-
dinary efforts to obtain the pacification of
Cuba by means of reason and right.
"The autonomic constitution, which grants
to the inhabitants of the island of Cuba a
political regime at least as liberal as that
which rules in the Dominion of Canada, will
shortly enter upon its complete develop-
ment, when, the elections having taken
place, the insular parliament shall meet in
Havana on the 4th of May next, and such
are the franchises and liberties granted to
the Cubans that no pretext is left to them
to ask for more ample concessions.
"Furthermore, as the island of Cuba is
represented in the cortes of the kingdom, a
privilege which is not enjoyed by any other
foreign autonomic colony, the Cuban sena-
tors and deputies can there explain their as-
pirations, if they should have any.
"No one who knows the liberal spirit of
the majority of the Spanish cortes recently
elected and the patriotic attitude of the
principal parties of the opposition can doubt
that the Cubans will obtain such modifica-
tions as they may desire in justice within
the limits of reason and of the national sov-
ereignty, according to the solemn offer of
the preamble of the royal decree of the 27th
of November, 1897, while at the same time
the government of her majesty declared that
it would not withdraw, nor consent that
there should be withdrawn, anything from
the colonial liberties, franchises and privi-
leges accorded.
"The repeal of the decree of reconcentra-
tion, the aid of all kinds which the govern-
ment of her majesty has granted and has
permitted to be given to the reconcentrados.
have put an end to a lamentable state of af-
fairs, which was the inevitable consequence
of the bloody conflict provoked by a small
minority of the sons or Cuba, directed and
supported principally by foreign influences.
"No impartial mind which has full knowl-
edge of the facts, so distorted as they have
been, and are actually, in everything re-
ferring to the Cuban question, can, with
justice, charge Spain with being remiss in
seeking the means for pacifying the island
or grudging in the concession of privileges,
liberties and franchises for the welfare and
happiness of the Inhabitants.
"The government of her majesty does not
doubt that the government of the United
States must recognize this, as it will recog-
nize the manifest injustice with which a
part of public opinion in this country pre-
sumes to find responsibilities for Spain in
the horrible catastrophe which occurred in
the port of Havana on the unhappy night
of Feb. 16 last.
"Her majesty the queen regent, her re-
sponsible government, the governor-general
of Cuba, the insular government and all the
principal authorities of Havana manifested
from the first moment the profound senti-
ments of horror which that immense mis-
fortune caused them, and the sympathy
which on that most sad occasion bound them
to the American government and people.
"The proofs of this were the visits of the
charge d'affaires of his majesty to the illus-
trious president of the United States, those
of the highest -Spanish functionaries of
state to Mr. Woodford, the unstinted aid
given to the victims, as well as the funeral
arrangements provided by the municipality
of Havana, and the notes addressed to the
department of state by this legation on the
16th and 17th of February and the 2d of this
month, Nos. 12, 13, 14 and 33 respectively.
"The officers and crew of the vessels of
war of her majesty near the Maine, disre-
garding the evident danger which threat-
ened them, as the officers of that American
battleship recognized, immediately lowered
their boats and saved a number of the
drowning, who only owe their lives to the
prompt and efficacious aid of the Spanish
sailors.
"It is strange that these notorious facts
and these solemn manifestations appear to
be forgotten by public opinion, which gives
credit on the other hand to the most absurd
and offensive hypothesis.
"The government of her majesty would be
deeply grateful to the justice and courtesy
of that of the United States if it should re-
establish officially the truth of facts which
appear to be ignored or not appreciated, and
ignorance of which contributes so power-
fully to maintain the extraordinary excite-
ment which endangers, without any reason
or motive, the friendly relations between
the two nations.
"With reference to the question of fact
which results from the diversity of opinion
between the reports of the Spanish and
North American commissions, the govern-
ment of her majesty, which as yet does not
know the official text of these opinions, has
hastened to declare itself ready to submit
the question to the decision of impartial
and disinterested experts, accepting in ad-
vance the decision of the arbitrators named
bv both parties— an evident proof of the
loyalty and good faith with which Spain
proceeds on this as well as on all occa-
"Tbe minister of Spain trusts that these
manifestations, inspired by the loyal desire
for peace and concord which animates the
government of her majesty, will be appre-
ciated at their just value by the president
and government of the United States.
"Washington, 10th of April. 1898."
At this time the reeling in the country
was intense, while congress was becoming
restive under the delay in declaring war
against Spain. In many sections of the
country the president was criticised for the
check he imposed upon congress, in the hope
of a peaceful settlement of the questions
at issue between the two countries, but no
114
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
one recognized better than the president
himself that he could not much longer hold
back the people end their representatives
from the adoption of the most radical meas-
ures, which meant immediate war. When he
had exhausted every effort to prevent a
resort to arms, and had failed, he sent to
congress, on the llth day of April, his war
message, which will be found in full und«r
the beading "Messages of the President" In
this volume. An exciting debate followed
the reception of this message in both houses
of congress, the main question being recog-
nition of the insurgent government estab-
lished in Cuba. The two houses concurred
on the 19th of April and passed the follow-
ing joint preamble and resolutions, which
were sent to the president and approved by
him on the day succeeding:
j "Whereas, The abhorrent conditions which
1 have existed for more than three years in
the Island of Cuba, so near our own borders,
have shocked the moral sense of the people
of the United States, have been a disgrace
to Christian civilization, culminating as they
have in the destruction of a United States
battleship with 266 of its officers and crew
while on a friendly visit In the harbor of
Havana, and cannot longer be endured, as
has been set forth by the president of the
United States in his message to congress of
April 11, 1898, upon which the action of con-
gress was invited; therefore,
"Resolved, 1. That the people of the is-
land of Cuba are and of right ought to be
free and independent.
"2. That it is the duty of the United States
to demand, and the government of the
United States does hereby demand, that the
government of Spain at once relinquish its
authority and government in the island of
Cuba and withdraw its land and naval
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
"3. That the president of the United States
be, and he hereby is, directed and empow-
ered to use the entire land and naval forces
of the United States, and to call into actual
service of the United States the militia of
the several states, to such extent as may be
necessary to carry these resolutions into
effect.
"4. That the United States hereby dis-
claims any disposition or intention to ex-
ercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control
over said island except for the pacification
thereof, and asserts its determination, when
that is accomplished, to leave the govern-
ment and control of the island to Its peo-
ple."
The resolutions passed the senate by a
vote of 42 yeas to 35 nays, and the house by
a vote of 310 yeas to 6 nays. The following
is the vote in the senate:

Willis Brewer (dem.) of Alabama.
John J. Gardner (rep.) of New Jersey.
Henry U. Johnson (rep.) of Indiana.
Eugene F. Loud (rep.) of California.
Samuel W. McCall (rep.) of Massachusetts.
On the same day (April 20) the following
ultimatum was sent to Gen. Woodford, our
minister at Madrid, to be delivered to the
Spanish government:
"You have been furnished with the text
of a joint resolution voted by the congress
of the United States on the 19th inst., ap-
proved to-day, in relation to the pacifica-
tion of the island of Cuba. In obedience to
that act the president directs you to im-
mediately communicate to the government
of Spain said resolution, with the formal
demand of the government of the United
States that the government of Spain at once
relinquish its authority and government in
the island of Cuba and withdraw its land
and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters. In taking this step the United
States hereby disclaims any disposition or
Intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdic-
tion or control over said Island except for
the pacification thereof, and asserts its de-
termination when that is accomplished to
leave the government and control of the
island to its people under such free and in-
dependent government as they may estab-
lish.
"If by the hour of noon on Saturday next,
the 23d day of April inst., there be not
communicated to this government by that
of Spain a full and satisfactory response to
this demand and resolution, whereby the
ends of peace in Cuba shall be assured, the
president will proceed without further no-
tice -to use the power and authority enjoined
and conferred upon him by the said joint
resolution to such extent as may be neces-
sary to carry the same into effect.
"SHERMAN."
On Thursday, April 21, the following reply
was received from Gen. Woodford:
"Madrid, April 21, 1898. [Received 9:02
a. m.]— Sherman, Washington: Eearly this
[Thursday] morning, immediately after the
receipt of your open telegram, and before
I had communicated same to Spanish gov-
ernment, Spanish minister for foreign af-
fairs notified me that diplomatic relations
are broken between the two countries, and
that all official communications between
their respective representatives nave ceased.
I accordingly asked for safe passports.
Turn legation over to British embassy and
leave for Paris this afternoon. Have noti-
fied consuls. WOODFURL)."
The ultimatum was not, therefore, deliv-
ered. On the same day, April 20, about 11
o'clock a. m., the department of state
served notice of the purposes of this gov-
ernment by delivering to Minister Polo a
copy of an instruction to Minister Wood-
ford, and also a copy of the resolutions
passed by the congress of the United States
on the 19th inet. After the receipt of this
notice the Spanish minister forwarded to
the state department a request for his pass-
ports, which were furnished to him in the
afternoon.
THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR.
115
It will be seen that It was Spain which
broke off the relations between the two
governments— first, by the act of the minis-
ter In demanding his passports from the
secretary of state, and, second, by that
government sending to the American min-
ister his passports before receiving a re-
quest therefor.
On the 22d day of April the president Is-
sued the following proclamation:
"Whereas, By a joint resolution passed
by the congress and approved April 20, 1898,
and communicated to the government of
Spain, It was demanded that said govern-
ment at once relinquish Its authority and
government In the island of Cuba and with-
draw its land and naval forces from Cuba
and Cuban waters, and the president of the
United States was directed and empowered
to use the entire land and naval forces of
the United States, and to call into the ac-
tual service of the United States the militia
of the several states to such extent as
might be necessary to carry said resolution
Into effect; and,
"Whereas, In carrying into effect said res-
olution, the president of the United States
deems It necessary to set on foot and main-
tain a blockade of the north coast of Cuba,
including all ports of said coast between
Cardenas and Bahia Honda, and the port
of Cienfuegos on the south coast of Cuba;
"Now, therefore, I, William McKlnley,
president of the United States, in order to
enforce the said resolution, do hereby de-
clare and proclaim that the United States
of America has instituted, and will main-
tain, a blockade of the north coast of Cuba,
including ports on said coast between Car-
denas and Bahia Honda, and the port of
Cienfuegos on the south coast of Cuba,
aforesaid, in pursuance of the laws of the
United States and the law of nations ap-
plicable to such cases. An efficient force
will be posted so as to prevent the entrance
and exit of vessels from the ports aforesaid.
Any neutral vessel approaching said ports,
or attempting to leave the same, without
notice or knowledge of the establishment of
such blockade, will be duly warned by the
commander of the blockading forces, who
will indorse on her register the fact and the
date of such warning, where such indorse-
ment was made; and if the same vessel
shall again attempt to enter any blockaded
port she will be captured and sent to the
nearest convenient port for such proceedings
against her and her cargo as prize as may
be deemed advisable. Neutral vessels lying
in any of said ports at the time of estab-
lishment of such blockade will be allowed
thirty days to issue therefrom."
April 25 the president sent a message to
congress asking that body to issue a formal
declaration of war, which message will be
found in full under the heading "Messages
of the President," in this volume. On the
same day both houses of congress passed
and the president signed the following bill:
"A bill declaring that war exists between
the United States of America and the king-
dom of Spain.
"Be it enacted, etc.
"1. That war be and the same is hereby
declared to exist and that war has existed
since the 21st day of April, A. D. 1898, in-
cluding said day, between the United States
of America and the kingdom of Spain.
"2. That the president of the United
States be and he hereby is directed and em-
powered to use the entire land and naval
forces of the United States, and to call into
actual service of the United States the
militia of the several states, to such extent
as may be necessary to carry this act into
effect."

21. Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, the Ameri-
can minister at Madrid, received his pass-
ports from the Spanish government and
Polo y Bernabe, the Spanish minister at
Washington, left the city. The navy depart-
ment bought the Brazilian warship Nicthe-
roy and the yachts Corsair and Penelope.

30. The battleship Oregon arrived at Rio de
Janeiro from San Francisco. In accordance
with instructions Capt. Clark sailed from
San Francisco on March 19 on the journey
around the Horn, and it is probable that no
ship that ever made the trip attracted so
much attention. Her first stopping place
was Callao, whence she sailed again on
April 5, making direct for Sandy point
without stopping at Valparaiso. With 6,588
knots to her credit, everything in good
order, and all on board well, she passed
through the Straits of Magellan and steamed
north to Rio de Janeiro, which port she
made on April 30 at 6 p. m. At Sandy point
she picked up the gunboat Marietta, and as
the smaller vessel could make only about
twelve knots an hour the Oregon's progress
to Rio was slower than it would have
been had she gone alone. A third vessel,
the Buffalo, joined the American ships at
Rio. and they were reported safe at Bahia
on May 9. The Oregon left Rio de Janeiro
May 4 and arrived at Key West May 26,
having without accident made a voyage of
16,764 miles.

manded the surrender of Manila, which was
refused. Spain's reply to the president's
statement of the terms of peace was sent
to Paris for transmission to Washington.
The note suggests that a suspension of hos-
tilities would make negotiations easier.
8. Skirmish near Guayama, Puerto Rico,
in which five of the 4th Ohio were wounded.
9. The town of Coamo, Puerto Rico, was
captured. Our loss was one killed and six
wounded, while the Spanish loss was the
commander, two captains and nine privates
killed, thirty-five wounded and 180 taken
prisoners. Spain's reply to the peace prop-
osition was presented to President McKln-
ley by the French ambassador, M. Cambon.
10. Secretary Day and M. Cambon agreed
on the terms of a protocol to be transmitted
to Spain for approval. Gen. Schwan drove
back a strong force of Spaniards north of
JJayaguez, Puerto Rico.
11. A protocol suspending hostilities be-
tween, the United States and Spain was
signed at 4:23 p. m. in Washington, M.
Cambon having received authority to act
in behalf of Spain. The following is the
text of the document:
"Protocol of agreement between the

THE ISLAND OF CUBA.
123
THE ISLAND OF CUBA.
The island of Cuba was discovered by
Columbus on his first voyage, Oct. 28, 1492,
and settled by Velasquez In 1511-12. It is
the largest of the Antilles and lies between
20 and 23 degrees north latitude aud 74 and
85 degrees of longitude west of Greenwich.
The western portion is about 130 miles south
of Florida and about ninety miles from Key
West, and from time immemorial it has
been known as "the key to the Gulf of
Mexico." On the coat of arms of the city
}f Havana is a key conspicuously displayed,
which seems to imply that the city controls
the waters in which' it is so centrally lo-
cated. The northern coast has a length of
about 918 miles indented with thirty-two
harbors, of which ten are denominated as
"first class." The most important of these
are Havana, Mariel, Cabanas, Bahia Honda,
Matanzas, Cardenas, Sagua. Calbarien, Nue-
vitas and Jibara. The southern coast has a
length of 972 miles, with twelve important
harbors, the best of which are Guantanamo,
Santiago de Cuba and Cienfuegos. Most of
the Important harbors of the island are
spacious and will admit vessels drawing
twenty-six feet of water.
cleanliness is practically unknown. The
following table, prepared by W. K. It. Phil-
lips of the United States weather oureau,
shows the average monthly temperature atu
rainfall at Havana for the last ten years.
At Matanzas the temperature is slightly
higher than at Havana and at Santiago de
Cuba the annual average is about 4 degrees
higher than at the capital city. At Havana
the maximum temperature is between noou
and 2 o'clock p. m. and the minimum be-
tween dawn and sunrise.
There are only two • marked seasons In
Cuba, the dry and the rainy. The rainy sea-
son at Havana begins in the latter part of
May and ends with October. Relatively the
greater bulk of the rain falls during the
months from June to October, for during
this period the average rainfall is 32.3V
inches, or 63 per cent of the annual fall.
The number of days upon which rain fall*,
is about one day out of three. Notwith-
standing the frequency of rain during the
summer months they do not present the
greatest number of cloudy days. The rains,
"although copious, are of short duration,
and those days on which showers do fall

The exact area of the island has not been
determined. Estimates vary from about
35,000 to 72,000 square miles. At the lower
estimate Cuba would be about equal in size
to the state of Indiana and a little larger
than the state of Maine. At the larger esti-
mate it would exceed somewhat the state of
North Dakota. Through the island from
east to west extends a chain of mountains
the highest of which is about 8.000 feet.
The territory is well supplied with streams,
there being more than 200 rivers, the most
important of which is the Cauto In the
province of Santiago de Cuba, which is 150
miles long and navigable for small craft for
fifty miles. Another large stream is the
Sagua, in the province of Santa Clara, which
is 111 miles long and has twelve miles of
navigable channel.
As a rule the climate of Cuba is healthful,
especially in the rural districts in the east
and center of the island. There are pome
localities where malarial fevers prevail and
in many of the cities yellow fever, but this
is confined mainly to towns in which the
sanitary conditions are bad and where
are in general perfectly cloudless. It may
almost be said that during these months in.
clouds are to be seen in the atmosphere
except while the showers are falling. whi'e
in other months cloudy days sometime
occur without rain."
According to an official census taken in
1890 the population of Cuba was then
1.631,687. For years Cuba has been the
theater of war and great mortality and dev-
astation have occurred. An official state-
ment made by our government says:
"It may be assumed that the present popu-
lation is not in excess of the figures ol
1890 and it may be considerably lower. It
has been estimated that, taking as a basis
the kingdom of Belgium (482 inhabitants to
the square mile), Cuba could support 24,000,-
000 people. Of the population in 1890 the
percentages, according to race, were:
Whites, 65; colored and Chinese, 35. The
actual number of white Cubans was given
at 950.000; colored Cubans, 500,000, and
Spaniards, 160,000."
In a report made to the government Ir
1897 by Mr. Hyatt, United States consul at
124
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
Santiago de Cuba, ho says: "The produc-
tive soil, mineral wealth and climatic con-
ditions of the island entitle it to rank
among the foremost communities of the
world. The soil is a marvel of richness and
fertilizers are seldom used, unless in the
case of tobacco, even though the same crops
be grown on the same land for a hundred
years, as has happened in some of the old
sugar-cane fields. The mountains are of
coral 'formation, while the lowlands of
eastern •Cuba at least seem to be composed
largely of fossils of sea matter from pre-
historic times and are extremely rich in
lime and phosphate, which accounts for
their apparent inexhaustibleness. Although
founded and settled more than fifty years
before the United States, Cuba has still
13,000,000 acres of primeval forests; mahog-
any, cedar, logwood, redwood, ebony, lig-
num-vitae and caiguaran (which is more
durable in the ground than iron or steel) are
among the woods.
"If all the land suitable to the growth of
sugar cane were devoted to that industry
it is estimated that Cuba might supply the
entire western hemisphere with sugar. Ihe
island has already produced in a single
year for export 1,000,000 tons and its capa-
bilities have only been in the experimental
stage. The adaptability of the soil for to-
bacco culture has long been known. Cuba
takes great pride in the quality of her cof-
fee and until the war the plantations were
flourishing."
The land Is not suited to the cultivation
of cereals. No flour mill, Mr. Hyatt thinks,
exists on the island. The consul continues:
"In mineral wealth Cuba is capable of
taking high rank. Gold and silver have not
been found in paying quantities. Copper
was mined at Cobre by the natives before
Columbus discovered the island and there
is strong proof that native copper was
carried across to Florida and used by the
Florida Indians hundreds of years ago.
The mound-builders of that state buried
with their dead copper ornaments and uten-
sils hammered from native copper, which
always has an admixture of more or less
foreign matter. As no copper ore is found
in Florida or In the United States for a
long distance from there, and as that found
in the United States or in Mexico does not
correspond chemically with that buried with
the mound-builders, it occurred to Prof.
R. H. Sanders of the Academy of Natural
Sciences in Philadelphia that it was possi-
ble that these mound-builders had water
communication with Cuba and got their
copper from here. He therefore communi-
cated with the writer and procured a sam-
ple of native Cuban copper, which proved
upon analysis to be identical with that used
in the copper ornaments mentioned. In the
early part of the present century some
English capitalists purchased these mines,
which are nine miles from Santiago. The
books of this consulate show that from 1»28
to 1840 an average of from $2,000,000 to
$3,000,000 worth of copper ore was shipped
annually to the United States from these
mines. How much was shipped elsewhere
I have not the means of knowing.
"The iron mines of Cuba, all of which
are located near Santiago, overshadow in
importance all other Industries on the east-
ern end of the island, constituting the only
industry that has made any pretense of
withstanding the shock of the present insur-
rection. The Juragua and Baiquiri iron
companies (American), with a. combined
capital of over $5,000,000, now operate nilue^
in this vicinity and employ from 800 to 1,400
men, shipping to the United States from
30,000 to 50,000 tons of iron ore per month,
the largest portion of which is used at
Bethlehem, Steelton, Sparrows Point and
Pittsburg. The ore of these mines is among
the richest in the world, yielding from 62 to
67 per cent of pure iron, and is very free
from sulphur and phosphorus. There are
numerous undeveloped mines of equal value
In this region.
"In the Sierra Maestra range, on the
southern coast of Cuba, from Santiago west
to Manzanillo, within a distance of about
100 miles, are found numerous deposits of
manganese, an ore Indispensable in the
manufacture of steel. American capital
opened a mine about twenty miles distant,
at a place called Ponupo, and built a rail-
road to it. After shipping one cargo the
mines were stopped by the insurgents. As
nearly all the manganese used in the United
States comes from the Black sea regions of
Europe and a smaller quantity from the
northern part of South America, it is but
reasonable to suppose that the products of
these near-by mines will be In great demand
when the conditions are such that they can
be operated In safety.
"Railroads and other highways, improved
machinery and more modern methods of
doing business are among the wants of
Cuba, and with the onward march of civili-
zation these will doubtless be hers in the
near future. Cuba, like other tropical and
semi-tropical countries, is not given to
manufacturing; her people would rather sol!
the products of the soil and mines and buy
manufactured goods. The possibilities of
the Island are great, while the probabilities
remain an unsolved problem."
Regarding the agricultural productions of
Cuba the Bulletin of the Bureau of Am°r-
ican Republics, published by the United
States government, says:
"The great wealth of Cuba lies in the
wonderful fertility of its soil. It is esti-
mated that the island has 35,000,000 acres
of land, but in 1868, according to official
statistics, only 2,689,400 were under cultiva-
tion, 9,974,134 acres were utilized in cattle-
raising and nearly 16,000,000 were still virgin
forest. Ten years later, after the long in-
surrection, considerable land was cleared
and the production of sugar assumed large
proportions. On the other hand, old lanus
were abandoned and the acreage was not
greatly Increased. It may be assumed,
therefore, that only a small fraction of the
agricultural wealth of Cuba has been de-
veloped and that at least 20,000.000 acres of
land await the application of industry and
capital.
"The principal industry of Cuba has been
for many years the cultivation of sugar
cane and the making of sugar, but this in-
dustry has suffered in recent years by the
competition of European beet sugar and the
internal disorders of the island. With the
occupation of the island by the United
States it is more than probable that the
sugar industry will again revive and become
remunerative. The great advantage ol
sugar-growing in Cuba is found in the fact
that the cane reproduces itself, without the
necessity of resowing, for ten, fifteen or
twenty years, according to the nature of the
soil. The sugar Is of superior quality and

the proximity of the island to the United
States of America is a favoring condition.
The production of sugar from 1894 to is»5
aggregated over 1,000,000 tons. From 1895 to
1896 it was only 225,000 tons.
"Cuba has long been famous for the supe-
riority of its tobacco. Efforts have been
made to rival the Cuban tobacco in different
parts of the world, but it seems to hold its
own as excelling all others. The plant is
grown In greatest abundance in the western
part of the island, Vuelta Abajo, and in
some localities in the provinces of Santa
Clara and Santiago de Cuba. Next in rank
in quality and quantity is the product of the
district of Manicaragua in the province of
Santa Clara. The Vuelta Abajo region,
where the best tobacco on the island is
raised, has suffered considerably from in-
surrection and it is believed that the crop
for 1897 will not exceed 30,000 bales of 110
pounds — a tenth part, approximately, of the
ordinary yield. Nearly all the leaf tobacco
and about half the twist of Cuba is ex-
ported to the United States.
"Coffee for a long time constituted one of
the principal products of Cuba, but since
1845 the development of the coffee product
of Brazil and other countries, together with
economic conditions in Cuba, caused the cul-
tivation to decline and coffee is now raised
almost exclusively for local consumption.
"Besides sugar, tobacco and coffee Cuba
produces all the different classes of fruits
known to the tropics and many of those
belonging to the temperate zone. Among
them are the pineapple, the banana, the
orange, the mango and the guava. The
cocoanut is also an important product. 'X'ne
forest wealth of Cuba is very great and but
slightly developed. The island is rich in
cabinet wood, among which the most im-
portant are mahogany and cedar. Among
the trees the one most characteristic of
a Cuban landscape is the palm, of which
there are thirty-two species. Its wood and
leaves are employed in the manufacture of
several articles of trade, including hats and
baskets. The soil of the island is well
adapted to the production of all kinds of
vegetables. The Cuban potato is said to be
as good as that of Bermuda or I'eru and the
sweet potatoes are of superior quality.
"The price of Cuban land varies to a con-
siderable extent. In the wealthy sugar dis-
tricts 1,000, 1,200 and sometimes 3.000 pesos
($926, $1,111 and $2,778) was paid per 'cabal-
leria' (about 32.1 acres), but in other sec-
tions of the island, and especially where
there are no railway facilities, land could
be obtained at a nominal price."
Cuba has several important cities and
towns. The largest is Havana, the capital,
situated on the northern coast, and which
has long been famous for its commerce. The
city has a population of about 200,000: it is
the residence of the captain-general and
other authorities. It is defended by eight
forts, has a tine navy yard, arsenal, gun
manufactory, repair shops, barracks and
hospitals. It has also three large markets,
twenty-four churches, six theaters, a uni-
versity, a school of tine arts, several public
libraries and many educational institutions.
It has several manufactories, street-railway
and omnibus lines, railroads connecting with
other parts of the island, gas and electric
lighting plants and eighty newspapers and
other periodical!,
Pinar del Ulo, capital of the province of
the same name, has a population of 30,000.
It is situated about 135 miles southwest of
Havana, with which it is connected by a
railroad. It is noted for the fine quality of
the tobacco grown in its vicinity.
Matanzas, capital of the province of Ma-
tanzas, is sixty-six miles east of Havana
and has a population of 56,000. It is famous
for its proximity to the Bellamar caves and
the valley of the Yumuri.
Cardenas is ninety miles east of Havana
and is a commercial port of importance. Jt
has a population of 23,000.
Santa Clara, 216 miles east of the capital,
with which it. Is connected by rail, has a
population of 32,000.
Sagua la Grande, eighty miles east of Ha-
vana, is situated on the river of the same
name, seven miles from its mouth, and has
a population of 18,000.
Cienfuegos, in the province of Santa Clara,
is situated on the southern coast of the
island, on the fine bay of Jagua, and Is a
thriving center of trade. It is about 100
miles southeast of Havana and has 40,000
inhabitants. In the same province are
Trinidad, with 29,000 inhabitants; Sanctl
Esplrltu, 20,000, and San de los Kemedios,
15,000.
Puerto Principe, capital of that province,
some 200 miles east of Havana, has 49,000
inhabitants.
Santiago de Cuba is the capital of the
province in which It is situated, has a
population of about 50,000 and one of the
finest harbors on the southern coast. It has
a number of important buildings and at one
time was the capital of the island. It is a
noted city, but in the future it will be best
known because of Its capitulation to the
American army of Invasion on the 14th of
July, 1898. In the same province are the
Important towns of Manzanillo, Bayamo.
Jiguani, Holguin, Jibara, Guantanamo and
Baracoa.
There are ten railway companies operating
lines of road in Cuba, the more important
being the Ferrocarriles Unidos, with 1,000
miles of main road connecting Havana with
Matanzas, Batabano, Union and Guanajay.
The next In importance is the Western rail-
way, ninety-six miles long, running to Pinar
del Rio.
The telegraph and telephone systems in
Cuba belong to the government, but the lat-
ter is farmed out for a limited number of
years to a company called the Red Tele-
fonica de la Habana. Nearly all the public
and private buildings in the city and sub-
urbs are connected by telephone. The
Statesman's Year Book, 1898, says that
there are 2,300 miles of telegraph line with
153 offices.
Under the Spanish administration Cuba
was divided into three regions — the western,
central and eastern. Each region comprises
two provinces, divided into several judicial
districts, and these again subdivided into
municipal sections. The western region
embraces the provinces of Pinar del Rio and
Havana, the central comprises the provinces
of Matanzas and Santa Clara and the east-
ern provinces are made up of Puerto Prin-
cipe and Santiago de Cuba. The capital of
the island is the city of Havana.
Prior to 1898 the island was governed by a
governor and captain-general, appointed by
the Spanish crown, who is the superior po-
litical, military and economic chief. Each
of the six provinces was administered by a
126 CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
governor. On the 1st of January, 1898, the
Spanish government adopted a system of
autonomous government for the island, pro-
viding for popular representation in the ad-
ministration of affairs, but it was not ac-
cepted by the insurgents and has had no
practical effect. Under the terms of the
suspension of hostilities between the United
States and Spain the affairs of the island
are likely to be administered for the present
by. the military commanders of the United
States forces.

THE ISLAND OF PUERTO RICO.
127
THE ISLAND OF PUERTO RICO.
The island of Porto Rico, or, according
to the spelling of the Spanish, Puerto Rico,
meaning "a rich port," ranks fourth in size
with the islands of the Greater Antilles,
being exceeded in area by Cuba, Santo Do-
mingo and Jamaica. It lies between the
seventeenth and nineteenth parallels of
north latitude and the sixty-sixth and sixty-
seventh degrees of longitude. Authorities
are not exactly agreed as to the area of the
island. A recent report by a British consul
gives it an area of about 3,668 square miles
— thirty-five miles broad and ninety-five
miles long. An American authority says
the "island is, in shape, an irregular paral-
lelogram, being a little under 100 miles long
by one-third of that distance broad." The
island was discovered by Columbus on his
second voyage, on the 16th day of November,
1493. According to tradition he landed on
the western coast of the island, at the
site of the present town of Aguadilla. which
means "a watering place," and, as the lo-
cality is now famous for its supply of ex-
cellent fresh water, it is supposed that he
touched there to refill the tanks of his ves-
sels. The native name of the island was
Borinquen and the inhabitants were of the
sime Indian race that occupied Haiti.
The Spaniards were delighted with the
beauty of the island and with its fertility,
and Prince Juan Ponce de Leon, one of
Columbus' officers, assumed control in the
hope of acquiring fortunes for himself and
some of bis personal followers. He re-
mained and established a government, the
object being to wring as much out of the
peaceable and inoffensive people as was pos-
sible. The Indians in 1508 arose in rebel-
lion against the arbitrary rule of Ponce de
Leon; the revolt lasted until 1510, the result
being that the inhabitants were defeated
and the Spanish rule thoroughly estab-
lished on the island. In 1511 the present
capital city was founded and called San
Juan Beautista de Puerto Rico.
There was nothing of interest in the his-
tory of the island between 1510 and 1595.
The period is filled with the stories of the
wrongs of the Spaniards and the sufferings
of the people, for the avarice of the con-
querors was unappeased and the rights
of the inhabitants were unrespected. In
1505 the daring British admiral Drake
made an attack upon San Juan, burned a
portion of the town and destroyed some
of the Spanish ships in the harbor, but he
was forced to embark without being able
to hold the city permanently. The next
year the earl of Cumberland, another Brit-
ish officer, attacked the place and com-
pelled the citadel, Morro, to capitulate, but
his sailors fell victims to the fevers and
diseases incident to the climate and he
was obliged to abandon his conquests. In
1625 Gen. Heinrich, a Dutch officer, led an
expedition against the island and laid siege
to the town and citadel, but in an attack
upon the fortifications the Dutch were
routed and Heinrich was killed. Again in
1678 the English planned an attack upon
San Juan, but it railed, owing to a storm
that scattered the fleet and destroyed
some of the vessels. The attempt was re-
peated in 1703. when a landing was ef-
fected at Arecibo. a point some thirty miles
west of San Juan, but it was repulsed with
great loss and the British admiral was com-
pelled to re-embark his forces and give uy
the attempt to take the island. The last
attack on the Island was made by the
noted British commander, Sir Ralph Aber-
cromby, in 1797. He laid siege to San Juan,
which he maintained for some two weeks,
when, owing to insufficiency of his forces,
he abandoned the effort and retired. Until
the bombardment of the fortifications by
Admiral .Sampson on the 12th of May, 1898,
the city had had a century's respite from
attacks by the enemies of Spain.
There have been several ineffectual at-
tempts of the people to throw off the Span-
ish rule, one of the earliest of which was
the effort to establish a republic in 1820.
The movement was checked without loss of
life by the wise course of the governor,
Torre, who was one of the ablest men that
Spain has ever intrusted with the direction
of any of her colonies. Another rebellion
broke out in 1867, which was inspired by a
sympathy with the revolt in Cuba then
being carried on. An earthquake so fright-
ened the people that the uprising went to
pieces and was not again actively taken
up, although peaceable efforts to secure in-
dependence have never been wholly aban-
doned on the part of the more influential
portion of the people. The island has a
population of about 815,000, of whom over
300,000 are negroes, the remainder being
mostly Spaniards, besides some Americans,
English, Germans and other European peo-
ples. The surface of the island is broken
by hills and low mountain ranges, one of
which passes through it from east to west,
with spurs projecting nearly to the northern
coast. The highest point in this range is
El Yunque, which rises 3,71)0 feet above the
sea level and is visible for fifty or sixty
miles from the coast. The island abounds
with streams of the purest water, there
being 1,300 flowing into the sea, of which
forty-seven are rivers of considerable size.
The island is thus abundant'y watered and
furnishes pasturage for immense herds of
wild cattle.
The climate Is exceptionally salubrious
for a tropical one, and much of this is due to
the fact that there is very little stagnant
water, most of it being in running streams,
and this has the effect of rendering the air
pure and healthful. For foreigners the
island of Puerto Rico has been more attrac-
tive than any of those surrounding it, the
winters being especially pleasant, and
from November to April living in the moun-
tain valleys is delightful. In the northern
section of the island the rainy season be-
gins in May and extends to the last of Sep-
tember, the rain falling often like a deluge.
It is estimated that in some sections the
fall of water in those months aggregates
about seventy cubic inches. During this
period of the year there is an almost con-
stant sea breeze from the north during the
entire day, which makes life on that coast
endurable. In the southern portions there
is often very little rain, it being frequently
the case that none is seen for the entire
twelve months of the year. The most un-
favorable months for those not acclimated
are August and September, when fevers and
malarial disorders are prevalent, but living
in the mountains affords some protection
against sickness.
The island is naturally adapted to agri-
culture, for the soil is rich and easily
worked. It is chiefly clay mixed with marl,
and the abundant natural supply of water
keeps it productive even In those portions
that are not visited by the rains that are
common to the northern sections of the
THE ISLAND OF PUERTO RICO.

Island. The mountains are covered with
timber, of which the palm Is the most use-
ful, the wood for lumber, the fruit for food
and the leaves for thatching the dwellings
of the negroes. A good deal of mahogany
is exported and the plantain and the ba-
nana supply large quantities of food for the
poorer classes. Coffee, tobacco and sugar
cane grow in profusion, while cotton of
peculiar fineness is easily cultivated. In
1896 the exports of the leading staples were:
Sugar, 54,205 tons; coffee, 26.655 tons; hides,
160 tons; cattle, 3,187 head; timber, 30 tons;
molasses, 14,740 tons, and tobacco, 1,039
tons. Upsides these the island produces
Hax, cassia, ginger, rice, maize, citrons,
lemons, oranges and many other varieties
of fruits. So far as is now known there
are no important deposits of ores or min-
erals, although traces of gold have been
found in the Ibeds of the streams and indi-
cations of iron, copper, lead and coal have
been discovered.
There Is no portion of the West India
islands in which the people are in a better
condition than In Puerto Rico. This is due
to the fact that it is an agricultural coun-
try and the poorer classes have been en-
couraged to become the possessors of land
and many of them have become small
landed proprietors. When slavery existed
in the island slaves were encouraged to
purchase their freedom and many availed
themselves of the favorable terms offered.
In 1873 slaverv was abolished. The island
has therefore been comparatively free from
revolts and political disorders, notwith-
standing the fact that the people disliked
the Spanish rule. The island has become
the home of a free, self-sustaining peas-
antry, imposing no burdens upon the gov-
ernment, but each family usually having its
modest home, with necessary stock, and
producing all that is required for sup-
port. The way the American soldiers were
greeted shows the simplicity and hospital-
ity of the plain people. The worst thing In
the social condition of the inhabitants is
their ignorance and superstition. They
need schools of every kind and religious In-
struction.
Puerto Rico was a province of Spain, gov-
erned by a captain-general, who was the
civil governor and also commander of the
military forces stationed on the island, as
well as the head of the highest court. Out-
side of San Juan the island is divided Into
seven military departments, each being
under a separate official. The towns are
governed by alcaldes, or mayors, appointed
from San Juan. The government is sup-
ported by duties on imports, licenses for
lotteries, public gambling houses and cock-
pits. The more important cities and towns
are San Juan, Ponce. Mayaguez, Aguadilla,
Arecibo, Fajardo, Naguabo and Arroyo.
The following description of these places Is
taken from the United States consular re-
ports:
SAN JUAN.
San Juan Is situated on a long and narrow
Island, separated from the main island at
one end by a shallow arm of the sea, over
which is a bridge connecting it with the
mainland, which runs out at this point in
a long sand spit some nine miles in length
apparently to meet the smaller island; at
the other end the island ends in a rugged
hluff or promontory some hundred feet nigh
nnd three-fourths of a mile distant from
the main Island. This promontory Is
crowned by Slorro castle, the principal
fortification of the town. At this end of the
Island is the entrance to the harbor, with a
narrow channel and rocky bottom, so close
under the headland that one can almost
leap ashore from a passing vessel. Tne
water here Is some thirty feet deep. Tc a
mariner unacquainted with the locality, or
when a norther is blowing, this entrance is
one of difficulty and danger. After round-
ing the bluff one finds a broad and beautiful
bay, landlocked and with a good depth of
water, which Is being increased by dredg-
ing. It is by far the Dest harbor in Puerto
Rico and probably as good a one as can be
found in the West Indies. However, it has
Its drawbacks. Sailing vessels are fre-
quently detained by the northerly winds
during the winter months, and even steam-
ers with a draft of over twenty feet are
sometimes delayed; but these occasions are
rare. When they do occur the "boca," or
entrance to the harbor, is a mass of seeth-
ing, foaming water and presents an im-
posing spectacle. To see steamers of six-
teen to eighteen feet draft enter in a
severe norther is a sight to be remembered,
as the great waves lift them up and seem
about to hurl them forward to destruc-
tion. At such times there Is need of a
stanch vessel, steady nerves and a captain
well acquainted with the channel, as no
pilot will venture out. The island upon
which the city stands is shaped much Uke
an arm and hand; it is about two and one-
fourth miles long and averages less than
one-fourth of a mile in width. The great-
est width is a little over half a mile in
the portion representing the hand, which
also contains the major part of the city.
San Juan is a perfect specimen of a walled
town, with portcullis, moat, gates and bat-
tlements. Built over 250 years ago, It Is
still In good condition and repair. The
walls are picturesque and represent a stu-
pendous work and cost In themselves. In-
side the walls the city is laid off in regular
squares, six parallel streets running In the
direction of the length of the island and
seven at right angles. The houses are
closely and compactly built of brick, usually
of two stories, stuccoed on the outside and
Sainted in a variety of colors. The upper
oors are occupied by the more respectable
people, while the ground floors, almost
without exception, are given up to negroes
and the poorer class, who crowd one upon
another in the most appalling manner.
The population within the walls is esti-
mated at 20,000 and most of It lives on the
ground floor. In one small room, with a
flimsy partition, a whole family will reside.
The ground floor of the whole town reeks
with filth and conditions are most unsani-
tary. In a tropical country, where disease
readily prevails, the consequence of such
herding may be easily Inferred. There is
no running water in the town. The entire
population depends upon rain water, caught
upon the flat roofs of the buildings and con-
ducted to the cistern, which occupies the
greater part of the inner courtyara that is
an essential part of Spanish houses the
world over, but that here, on account of
the crowded conditions, is very small.
There is no sewerage, except for surface
water and sinks, while vaults are in every
bouse and occupy whatever remaining space
there may be in the patios not taken up by
the cisterns. The risk of contaminating the
water is very great and in dry seasons the
supply is entirely exhausted. Epidemics are
frequent and the town is alive with vermin,
fleas, cockroaches, mosquitoes and dops.
The streets are wider than In the older part
of Havana and will admit two carriages
abreast. The sidewalks are narrow and In

Its topographical situation the town should
be healthy, but It Is not. The soil under the
city is clay mixed with lime, so hard as
to be almost like rock. It is consequently
Impervious to water and furnishes a good
natural drainage. The trade wind blows
strong and fresh and through the harbor
runs a stream of sea water at a speed of
not less than three miles an hour. With
these conditions no contagious diseases, if
properly taken care of, could exist; without
them the place would be a veritable plague
spot. Besides the town within the walls
there are small portions just outside, called
the Marina and Puerta de Tierra, contain-
ing 2,000 or 3,000 inhabitants each. There
are also two suburbs, one, San Tnrce, ap-
proached by the only roud leading out of the
city, and the other, Catano, across the bay.
reached by ferry. The Marina and the two
suburbs are situated on sandy points or spits
and the latter are surrounded by mangrove
swamps. The entire population of the city
and suburbs, according to the census of
1887, was 27,000. It Is now (1836) estimated
at 30,000. One-half of the population con-
sists of negroes and mixed races. There is
but little manufacturing and it is of small
importance. The Standard Oil company has
a small refinery across the bay, in which
crude petroleum, brought from the United
States, is refined. Matches are made, some
brooms, a little soap and a cheap class of
trunks. There are also ice, gas and elec-
tric light works. The climate is warm, but
for three mouths of the year agreeable, al-
though one is subject, from the sudden
change, to colda and catarrh. The natives
are particularly susceptible to this class of
ailments and to consumption and bronchitis.
PONCE.
The city Is situated on the south coast of
the island of Puerto Rico, on a plain, about
two miles from the seaboard. It is regu-
larly built— the central part almost exclu-
sively of brick houses and the suburbs of
wood. It 10 the residence of the military
commander and the seat of an official cham-
ber of commerce. There Is an appellate
criminal court, besides other courts; two
churches — one protestant. said to be the only
one in the Spanish West Indies — two hos-
pitals besides the military hospitals, a home
of refuge for the old and poor, a perfectly
equipped fire department, a bank, a thea-
ter, three first-class hotels and gas works.
The city has an ice machine and there are
115 vehicles for public conveyance. The In-
habitants, who number about 15,000, are
principally occupied in mercantile pursuit^,
but carpenters, bricklayers, joiners, tailors,
shoemakers and barbers find good employ-
ment. The department of Ponce counts
about 40,000 inhabitants. The chief occupa-
tions of the people are the cultivation of
sugar, cocoa, tobacco and oranges, and the
breeding of cattle. Commercially Ponce is
the second city of importance on the Island.
A fine road leads to the port (Playat, whore
all the import and export trade is trans-
acted. Playa has nbout 6,000 inhabitants,
and here are situated the custom house, the
office of the captain of the port and all the
consular offices. The port is spacious and
will hold vessels of twenty-five feet draft.
The climate, on account of the sea breezes
during the day and land breezes at night,
is not oppressive, though warm; and, as
water for all purposes, including the flre
department, is amply supplied by an aque-
duct, it may be said that the city of Ponce
is perhaps the healthiest place in the whole
island.
MAYAGUEZ.
Mayaguez, the third city of importance of
the island, is situated in the west part,
facing what is generally known as the
"Mona channel." Of industries there is lit-
tle to be said, except that there are three
manufactories of chocolate, which Is for lo-
cal consumption. Sugar, coffee, oranges,
pineapples and cocoanuts are exported
largely— all, except coffee, principally to tne
United States. Of sugar the muscovado
goes to the United States and the centrif-
ugal to Spain. Mayaguez is the second
port for coffee, the average annual export
being 170,000 hundredweight. The quality is
of the best, ranging in price with Java and
other first-rate brands. The lower grades
are sent to Cuba. About 50,000 bags of flour
are imported into this port every year from
the United States, out of the 180.000 bags
that are consumed in the whole island. The
population is nearly 20,000, the majority
white. The climate is excellent, the temper-
ature never exceeding 90 degrees Fahren-
heit. The city is connected by tram with
the neighboring town of Aguadilla. and a
railroad is being constructed to Lares, one
of the largest Interior towns.
AGUADILLA.
The city, which is the principal town and
the port of Aguadilla district, in the north-
west portion of the island, has 5,000 inhab-
itants. Industries in the vicinity consist of
the cultivation of sugar cane, coffee, tobac-
co and cocoanuts and the distillation of rum
from molasses. In the town are three es-
tablishments for preparing coffoe for ex-
portation. The climate is hot, but healthy;
there Is hardly ever yellow fever.
ARECIBO.
The town, of from 6.000 to 7.000 inhab-
itants, is situated on the north coast of
Puerto Rico, facing the Atlantic ocean, and
some fifty miles distant by rail from San
Juan. It is similar to all Spanish towns.
with a plaza surrounded by the church and
other public buildings in the center, and
streets running from It in right angles,
forming regular squares. The buildings are
constructed of wood and brick. The harbor
is poor, being nothing more than an open
roadstead exposed to the full force of the
ocean. In which vessels during northerly
winds can hardly lie In safety. Close in-
shore, on one side, dangerous reefs stretch,
a constant menace to vessels if the anchor
does not hold. Into this harbor empties a
narrow and shallow stream called the Rio
Grande de Arecibo. Goods are conveyed on
this river to and from the town in flat-bot-
tomed boats, with the aid of long poles and
by dint of much pushing and patience. At
the bar of the rivor everything is again
transferred into lighters, and thence to ves-
sels. It is a tedious and expensive process.
However, Arecibo is quite an important
port and has tributary to it a large district
of some 30.000 inhabitants. The want of
good roads in the island makes such a place
as Arecibo far more important than it would
naturally be.
FAJARDO.
The town, on the east coast of the island,
has a population of 8,779, according to the

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
There are few portions of the globe con-
cerning \\ hi<')i less is accurately known
than that division which is embraced
within what is commonly called the Philip-
pine archipelago. The Spanish occu-
I ants of the territory have been op-
posed to the development of the islands,
nd have imposed taxes so onerous on all
ranches of industry that explorations to
. scertain what the islands really contained
or were capable of producing have been
limited to incursions prompted more by
curiosity than for any practical object.
An English resident has this summer pur>-
lished a pamphlet on the gold productions
of the Philippines, in which he says:
"Not five books in the English language are
worth considering about them [these is-
lands]. Crawford's history of the Indian
archipelago, published early in this cen-
tury, is still the student's textbook.
Whatever has been published since then,
134
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
when it rises above the level of a mere
traveler's tale, is either not comprehensive
or not reliable."
The archipelago lies between 4.40 and 20
north latitude und 116.40 and 126.30 east
longitude. So little is known about the
region that writers do not agree as to the
number of islands that make up the archi-
pelago. A recent writer says: "The num-
ber of islands which form the Philippine
archipelago will astonish many readers. It
is said to approach 2,000. There are among
them two that are larger than Ireiancl —
namely, Luzon, with 42,000, and Mindanao,
with 38,000 square miles. There are other
islands with 6,500, 5,000, 4,500, 4,000, 3,500
and 3,000 square miles." Of the whole
number some 600 are habitable. While
there is much uncertainty regarding the
area of the Philippines there is as little
known as to the number of inhabitants that
dwell upon them. Mr. Joseph T. Mannix,
an educated native of Luzon, in an article
published in June, 1898, says: "There are In
the Philippines between 6,000,000 and 9,000,-
000 people— probably about 7,500,000. "Nearly
half of this number inhabit Luzon, the
principal island of the group." Of these
he says: "The Tagals of Luzon are a cop-
per-colored people, and, like all people of
the Malay family, are short of stature.
These Tagals are the most advanced and
influential element of the entire population
of the islands. There are a great many
very intelligent and ambitious men among
them — men who got their start in the
schools established by the monastic friars,
whose political domination furnishes one of
the many grievances which have given rise
to the present rebellion." The Tagals
number about 2,000,000, and they are rapidly
increasing. Next to the Tagals in point of
intelligence come the Vicols, or Bicols,
who occupy the Camarlnes peninsula, with
the islands of Catanduanes, Burias, Ticao
and half of Masbate. They greatly resem-
ble the Tagals, and, like them, have made
considerable progress in civilization. They
number at least 400,000. The third division
of the people are the Visayas, or Bisayas,
who occupy the islands between Luzon and
Mindanao, and are estimated at 2,500,000.
Besides these are the Moors of the Sulu
archipelago, the Negritos and some other
families of the Malay race. On the whole,
the Philippine natives find and take life
easily. Their requirements are few. The
sum of £5 will provide a native household
with a dwelling of its own and ample fur-
niture. Under a genial climate, on a soil
lavishly grateful for the slightest tending,
by waters teeming with fish, they know
naught of hunger and have much time left
for amusements — such as dancing and pub-
lic rejoicings on the smallest occasion,
music, for which they have a natural
talent, so that there is scarcely a com-
mune without a fairly trained brass band—
and gambling! Cockfighting is the national
sport and no mean source of revenue to the
authorities. Almost every native owns a
fighting fowl, which is as dear to him as
her lap dog is to a European lady. He car-
ries it about with him and bets his bottom
dollar on its performance in the arena.
Thus the native is an intermittent rather
than a steady worker, and his delight in
feasts and holy days, and his content,
which passes him off as rich in his own
mind with $10 in his purse, make his as a
laborer, docile as he is and willing to
please, a source of frequent annoyance to
his employers.
The Philippine islands were discovered by
Magellan, who lauded at the island of
Cebu (or Zebu), where he anchored in
March, 1521, and lost his life in a skirmish
with the natives. In 1565 the islands were
taken possession of by a fleet from Mexico,
which first stopped at Cebu and subdued it.
In 1570 a settlement was effected at the
mouth of the Manila river, which place be-
came the capital of the Spanish possessions
in the Philippines and has remained so to
the present time. At the time of the ar-
rival of the Spaniards at Manila there were
two fortified villages, one on either side 01
the Pasig river, and these they took on the
9th of May, 1571, the chiefs making their
submission to their conquerors, and their
example was followed by many of the
tribes of Luzon. Previous to this the
island had been practically under the do-
minion of the Chinese, who had shaken off
the authority of that empire, but these
people still continued to control the trade
of the island after the Spanish capture.
A little later a Chinese pirate, Li Ma
Hong, attempted to drive out the Span-
iards, but failed in the attempt with the
loss of his fleet and his own life. In 1606
the Dutch attempted to take the islands,
but their ships were destroyed and the en-
terprise failed. In 1762 Manila was cap-
tured by the British, and would probably
have remained a possession of that country
had not political conditions in Europe
forced England to evacuate the city after
Spain had promised a ransom of $5,000,000,
which has not been paid to this day.
Rebellions have been frequent in which
the people have attempted to rid them-
selves of Spanish rule. Those of 1822, 1841,
1842, 1872, 1896 and 1897 have been the most
important. The revolts have all had a
common cause — the tyranny and exactions
of the Spanish officials. Although the
Spaniards made their appearance forty-four
years after the death of Magellan the con-
quest of the archipelago is still far from
complete. By an abuse of language the
Philippines are mentioned as a Spanish
colony, but they form in reality only a
military possession, in which the whites
are mainly officials, who control the na-
tives, but they have founded few perma-
nent settlements in the country. Except at
Manila there are few towns or villages
that are Spanish in fact. To extort money
from the people, under the various forms
of taxation that cunning and rapacity have
devised, is, and for many years has been,
the sole purpose of Spain and the business
and object of the governmental officials
that have been maintained there.
Upon this subject a recent writer has
said: "It is no natural or physical disad-
vantage that accounts for the waste and
neglect of the rich resources of the Philip-
pines. These richly endowed Islands have
been kept in their primitive darkness and
barbarism by the power that should have
lifted them into the light of civilization
and set them in the flowing stream of
modern life. Her treatment of them is but
one count in the long and terrible indict-
ment that history brings against Spain for
the opportunities she has neglected and
the trusts she has betrayed. She has re-
garded her snb.ieot peoples in no other light
than as sources of revenue for her govern-
ment and her officials, and for that crim-
THE PHILIPPINE I1LANDB.
inal error, with all its cruel consequences,
she IB paying the penalty to-day. In the
Philippines the representative of Spanish
rule has been the tax collector. The sys-
tem that ruined the Koman empire was re-
vived there, a gobernadoclllo being ap-
pointed for each district and held person-
ally responsible for the taxes. If the re-
ceipts fell below the estimate he had to
make up the deficiency; if they exceeded it
he pocketed the surplus — the result being
that the last peseta, was relentlessly wrung
from the luckless inhabitants. There were
poll taxes, taxes on every form of property,
taxes on all mercantile transactions, taxes
on every kind of amusement. There were
taxes on marriages and taxes on funerals.
In some provinces the native must carry
his tax receipts with him; if found without
them he is liable to arrest and punishment.
For non-payment — after confiscation of prop-
erty— were whipping and Imprisonment."
For failure to pay taxes men and women
alike are subjected to such brutalities as
the collector can devise, and from his
judgments there Is no appeal.
The Philippine islands are under the su-
preme charge of a governor-general, who
resides in Manila, a town of considerably
more than 300,000 inhabitants, among them
u goodly number of British men of busi-
ness, whose well-appointed club is the cen-
ter of foreign and social intercourse. In
Madrid the interests of the colony are spe-
cially Intrusted to a council of state for
the Philippines, which acts as an advisory
body to the minister of the colonies. There
is also a council of state in Manila, which
has a voice in questions affecting the mate-
rial progress of the Islands, which are di-
vided into provinces, each under its gov-
ernor. The provinces are subdivided Into
districts, and these again into communes or
parishes. The gobernadocillo (little gov-
ernor) stands on the lowest rung of the
official ladder, being the elected head of a
commune, and wearing as the symbol of
office a stiff, mushroom-shaped hat, re-
splendent with solid ornaments of silver
bullion. -• In these communes or parishes
the cure (priest), especially If he be a
Spaniard, as is generally the case In the
more Important parishes, exercises supreme
power. He is the father and counselor of
his people, and helps them not only wit b.
spiritual advice but also furthers their
material interests. Many of these Spanish
cnras have done much good work In the
way of making roads and bridges and the
building of churches, acting frequently as
their own engineers and architects, with
far less unsightly results than one might
expect from persons who are supposed to be
more conversant with breviary and rosary
than with rule and compasses.
The Spanish priests, friars of strict
orders, come to the islands for aye and
good, and, with scarcely any exception, do
their duties faithfully and devotedly.
Priests of native extraction do not quite
come up to the high standard of their
Spanish confratres. They cannot all live
up to the severity of monastic rules. These
native curas, moreover, suffer under the
proverbial disadvantage which affects the
prophet in his own country, and, lacking
the strength of mind and tenacity of vow
of the Spanish priests, sometimes seek con-
solation in diversions of not quite a clerical
or monastic character.
The climate of the Philippines Is not
such as will repel either Americans or
Europeans. Upon this subjeet Ool. W.
Wluthrop of the United States army says:
"There are two seasons at Manila, the wet
and the dry, or the seasons of the south-
west and northeast monsoons. Broadly
speaking, the wet or rainy season, ushered
in by the southwest monsoon, is from June
to November; the dry season, when the
northeast monsoon prevails, is from Novem-
ber to June. The divisions are not, how-
ever, exact or invariable. Thus, in January
and February north winds are not infre-
quent, and in March and April winds from
the southeast sometimes prevail. In the
beginning of October the winds vary be-
tween southeast and southwest, settling
down to northeast by the close of the
month. In the wet seasons the country Is
inundated, the roads become Impassable
and bridges disappear. The annual rainfall
at Manila is variously reported as from
seventy-five to ninety-one inches.
"The hottest months are April and May;
the droughts are then long and acci-
dental fires are to be guarded against; it
is then that mosquitoes and white ants are
most troublesome. The coolest mouths are
December to February, when the freshness
is grateful at night. The average tempera-
ture for the year is about 80 degrees, xhe
periods of the changes of the monsoons in
May to June and in September to October
are marked by the heaviest blows and
thunderstorms. Cyclones, typhoons and
hurricanes then visit the coast. A typhoon
on Sept. 27, 1865, drove some twenty vessels
ashore and did great damage to the city of
Manila. A typhoon or hurricane Oct. 30,
1875, killed 250 persons and destroyed 3,800
bouses. The hurricanes of these times
often sweep away crops and destroy plan-
tations."
Almost everywhere in the Islands are to
be seen evidences of gigantic volcanic
forces, although the number of active vol-
canoes is small. The volcanoes, active
and extinct, are grouped in two lines, run-
ning, approximately, east and west. Earth-
quakes are not infrequent and the buildings
are designed to resist them. The more
violent seismic disturbances appear to be
confined to certain centers, among which
the neighborhood of Manila seems to be
prominent. In a general sense the direc-
tion of the chains of mountains is north
and south, with occasional deflections to
east and west. The highest mountain in
the group is Apo, in Mindanao, with over
9,000 feet, while Halcon, in Mindoro,
reaches nearly 8,900 feet, and Majon, in
Luzon, exceeds- 8.200 feet. Of the earth-
quakes Sir John Bowrlng, an English trav-
eler, says: "The destructive ravages
and changes produced by them are nowhere
more remarkable than in the Philippines.
They have produced great changes in the
geography of the islands. They have over-
turned mountains, filled up valleys, deso-
lated extensive plains and opened passages
from the sea into the interior and from the
lakes into the sea." He refers to several
of the most serious earthquakes that have
been known at the islands, and to those of
1796, 1824 and 1828 as especially "calami-
tous." The most destructive earthquake of
recent times was that of June, 1863, which
rendered the city of Manila a mass of
ruins, in which 400 persons were burled,
2,000 were injured and property valued at
$8.000.000 was destroyed.

The soil of the Philippines Is of phenom-
enal fertility, although its capacities have
been most imperfectly developed. It is dif-
ficult to say what product is a staple, al-
though the Manila hemp is, perhaps, best
known in the commerce of the islands.
This is not a product of the hemp plant, but
is the fiber of a species of the banana (musa
tex tills). Where the soil is only slightly
cultivated the products are: Sugar, hemp,
tobacco, rice, coffee, cacao, gums of vari-
ous kinds, arrowroot. Indigo, cotton, pep-
per, cochineal, betelroot, areea nut, cocoa-
nuts and cocoanut oil. In the forests grow
the ebony, bamboo, logwood, rattans and
numberless other valuable hard woods and
gum-yielding trees and plants. The Hon.
John Barrett, late United States minister to
Siam, who is thoroughly acquainted with
the resources of the Philippines, says that
"a richer isolated land or group of islands,
viewed comparatively as to area and popu-
lation, variety of agriculture, mineral and
forest resources undeveloped, in addition to
those already improved, cannot be pointed
out on the map of the world."
That the Philippines are fabulously rich
in deposits of gold is not to be questioned.
Books are extant that mention gold as the
chief product of Luzon in the third cen-
tury A. D., and there is no doubt that
mining of the precious metal was exten-
sively practiced in the islands long before
the advent of the Spaniards. In a pam-
phlet written the present year by Mr.
Prank Karuth, F. It. G. S., entitled "A
New Center of Gold Production," the au-
thor says: "The question is often asked,
'How is it that so little is known of Phil-
ippine gold?' The answer is simple. There
is no official control of the output or tax on
it. The miners live in Isolated districts
and villages, with rare communication be-
tween them. And the universal man of
business is the omnipresent Chinaman, now
I storekeeper, with a fixed abode, now per-
ambulating peddler, who penetrates the
most distant settlements, buys the gold
with his wares and sends it out of the
country, over to Hongkong or Amoy, or
elsewhere. It is not his business to swag-
ger over the volume of his trade; in fact,
he keeps it dark. Those who know are
aware that the gold export is considerable
and very much exceeds the official compu-
tation, whatever that may be. 'Paracale'
gold is well known in Manila, but few Ma-
nilese know where Paracale Is, and still
less have ever visited the place. Yet it is
a prosperous village, with a good deal of
trade and a large native mining population.
* * * The Paracale gold dust Is melted
Into tiny Ingots, a small bivalve serving as
a mold, so that the gold shows the shape
of the shell. These tiny ingots are tested
by the Chinese purchaser, the traces of
whose probing anger are always In evidence
on the ingots. Gold Is found in many other
islands of the group. Senor Abella found
traces of alluvial workings In Cebu. Min-
doro. which is but little known, is said to
be rich In gold. Panaon, a small island
north of Mindanao, has at least one well-
defined vein of auriferous quartz, while
Mindanao itself Is the center of a consider-
able trade in alluvial gold. From speci-
mens brought from that island the occur-
rence of rich quartz veins cannot be a mat-
ter of mere conjecture."
Copper Is found in many parts of the
Philippines, and cupreous pyrites Is not
Infrequently met with accompanying quartz
veins, but in such small quantities as to
exclude all commercial value. In the
central mountain ranges of Luzon, how-
ever, between Cagayan and Ilocos, consid-
erable deposits of coppjr ore are distrib-
uted and had been worked by a tribe of
natives, called Igorrotes, long before the
advent of the Spaniards. They ob-
tain the ore in excavations which they
make with the aid of wood flres, thus
softening the rocks. They separate the ore
according to quality and roast the poorer
repeatedly before smelting it. Their fur-
nace is a cylindrical hole, walled with
clay, about twelve inches deep and eight
inches in diameter, and they use blowers of
bamboo worked with plungers to produce
the requisite draft.
The coal which up to present times has
been found in the Philippine islands is
not true coal, but lignite, probably of the
tertiary period, and of a variety which can
scarcely be distinguished by the eye from
true coal. There is no reason why true
coal should not eventually be found, for it
Is found and worked in Japan, whose geo-
logical formation has much in common
with that of the Philippines. There has
been no systematic search made in these
islands for coal, and wherever it has been
found it has betrayed Its presence by out-
crops. Thus, in the island of Masbate, a
local steamship owner drew his supplies
from a bed of coal which Is so tilted as
to have the appearance of a vein. He sup-
plied himself as long as his native laborers
could get the coal with crowbars. An ex-
pert, who examined this bed cursorily, esti-
mated the available quantity of coal at
about 600,000 tons in that particular con-
cession. He Is, however, of opinion that
very much larger quantities are available
in adjoining concessions. These mines are
practically untouched, and as they are sit-
uated within a few miles of the coast they
can be worked at a profit by whosoever
should venture to Introduce the necessary
capital.
The only coal deposits which have been
to a certain extent developed in the Philip-
pine archipelago, and of which a scientific
and reliable record exists in the shape of a
report by the chief inspector of mines.
Sonor Enrique Abella y Casariego, are
those in the island of Cebu. This report is
embodied in a work entitled "Rapida JDe-
scripcion Fiscica, Geologica y Minera de la
Isla de Cebu (Archipelago Filipino)."
The coal deposits of Cebu were first ex-
amined In 1855 by the government mining
engineer, Senor Hernandez, who, without
hesitation, described the coal as "lignita"
(lignite). A few years later, however, an-
other government engineer, Senor Centeno.
declared the formation in which coal oc-
curs to belong to the true carboniferous
system, and proclaimed the discovery of a
true coal field of large dimensions, the
eastern rim of which cropped out In the
island of Cobu, while Its western rim
came to the surface In the Island of Negros.
Analysis proved Senor Centeno to be In the
wrong, for the contents — or carbon — of the
coal of Cebu do not exceed 54 per cent,
against the minimum of 75 per cent, which
true coal contains.
The situation of affairs at the Philippines
at the present time makes It necessary to
take some notice of the rebellion that broke
out against the Spanish rule In* August,
THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

1896. In 1872 there was an uprising of the
people, the exciting cause of which was the
oppressive taxes, excises, license fees and
other burdens imposed upon the people by
the government. Not only did the natives
complain of these extortions, but objected
to the corvee, or forced exactions of forty
days' labor, which every man was com-
pelled to furnish annually to the govern-
ment. In addition to tnese complaints the
natives were still further exasperated by
the usurious loans to which they were
obliged to submit, in case they had to raise
money, and by the confiscation of their
property in case these loans were not paid
at maturity. This power of confiscation
was lodged in the hands of certain officials,
who used it for the purpose of making still
greater exactions. To resist these aggres-
sions a secret revolutionary society was
formed, the membership of which in Au-
gust, 1896, was more than 60,000. The basis
of this league was freemasonry, which had
been introduced into the islands by the
Spanish many years before. The army of
the rebels was Increased by deserters from
the native troops in the Spanish forces, by
vagabonds, criminals and a large number of
people who bad lost all their property
through confiscation upon various pretexts.
The war that was waged between the Span-
lards and the rebels was exceedingly bitter,
neither side giving any quarter to the other.
It was not war, but savage butchery. In
which prisoners captured or who surren-
dered were smothered in dungeons, burned
alive, disemboweled and put to death in
other barbarous ways without regard to the
usages of civilized warfare. The revolu-
tionary forces were too strong and too well
officered and armed for the Spanish army to
subdue, and In December, 1897, Gen. Primo
de Rivera proposed to Gen Emilio Agui-
naldo y Femi, the supreme head of the revo-
lutionary movement, a cessation of hostili-
ties between the insurgents and the Spanish
forces. A council of the revolutionary gov-
ernment was held Dec. 14, 1897, in which
twenty-four Insurgent chiefs agreed to lay
down their arms on condition that certain
reforms were introduced by Spain In the ad-
ministration of affairs. The Insurgents de-
manded (1) that the Filipinos should have
representation In the Spanish national par-
liament, (2) reforms In the land and tax
systems of the Islands, (3) curtailment of
the civil powers of the friars and (4) the
recall of many of the Spanish officials In
the islands with a view to a more honest,
economical and efficient government. Gen.
Primo de Rivera agreed to these reforms In
substance and made its condition that the
principal rebel leaders must leave the coun-
try during his majesty's pleasure. As these
leaders had lost all of thplr property or had
It confiscated and plundered, the government
agreed to provide them with funds to live
in a becoming manner on foreign soil.
The rebels laid down their arms and peace
was apparently secured. But no sooner had
they done so and returned to their houses
or retired from the country than the in-
translgeant religious orders commenced at
once to again prosecute them and trump up
Imaginary charges to procure their rearrest.
The Spanish government, on its side, Imag-
ining itself secure, desisted from carrying
out the promised reforms, thinking another
trick like that played on the Cubans, after
the peace arrangement by Martinez Cam-
pos, might succeed. The Filipinos, how-
ever, refused to be made dupes and took up
arms again, not alone in the immediate dis-
tricts around Manila, but throughout the
archipelago, and early in March, 1898, the
revolt was as formidable in the province of
Manila as ever, the rebels having captured
several important towns connected by rull
with the capital, while the inhabitants re-
fused to pay their taxes or acknowledge
Spanish authority. Such was the condition
of affairs in the Philippines at the date of
the opening of the war betweeen the United
States and Spain.
COMMERCE WITH THE PHILIPPINES.
The following table shows the commerce
of the islands, the years named being the
latest attainable:

The average value of the trade of the
Philippines Is greater than indicated In the
above table, having suffered in the last few
years on account of political conditions.
This is shown by the fact that in 1893 the
imports of Great Britain from the Islands
were to the value of $10,607,000, and the ex-

and some $140,000 in exports. The trade
with New South Wales has grown, but that
with Victoria has greatly diminished, and
United States commerce, which was $9,314,-
235 in 1893, has fallen to $4,478.337 In 1897.

THE MARIANA OR LADRONE ISLANDS.

THE MARIANA OR LADRONE ISLANDS.
The Mariana archipelago Is a chain of islands in the
Pacific stretching north and south a winding distance of
about 600 miles and embraces some seventeen islands, hav-
ing an area of about BOO square miles. They were the first
group discovered by Magellan in 1521, while making his
voyage around the globe, about ten days after he had
reached the Island or Cebu, one of the Philippines. Some
years later, when the Spaniards had assumed sovereignly
over the Philippines, they established a regular service for
their vessels across the Pacific to the island of Guam, one
of the Mariana group, which became a regular station for
vessels sailing between Manila and the Mexican coast.
The native inhabitants of the Marianas soon disappeared
under the dominion of Spain and the group was repeop'ed
by immigrants from the Philippines, who brought with
them a new language, plants and customs.
The name of "Ladrones" was given to the Islands by
Magellan because, it is said, of the character of their in-
habitants, the word meaning "robbers," but history de-
clares such a designation to have been entirely unjust to
the aborigines of the group. La*r they were renamed
Mariana in honor of Mariana of Austria, the wife of Philip
IV., king of Spain. A distance of about 1,200 miles sep-
arates the most southwesterly island of the Mariana group
from the nearest of the Philippines and the entire inter-
vening distance is wholly free from reefs or other obstruc-
tions «to navigation, except a few rocks on the northern
extremity toward Japan and the Pelew islands on the
south. Geologically the group has no connection with the
Philippines, but belongs to the same formation as the
Aleutian islands that project west from the coast of
Alaska.
The principal island of the group is Guam or Guahn,
which comprises nearly one-half of the entire area of
the archipelago. From a commercial point of view the
Mariana group of islands is of little value, as the trade is
wholly insignificant. The products are such only as are
required by the Inhabitants of the tropics, and even these
are not sufficiently abundant to induce trade and com-
merce. The natives grow sugar cane, rice, corn and
melons. Cocoanuts, pineapples, bananas, limes, lemons,
oranges and the breadfruit grow wild in greatest profu-
sion. It rains nearly all the time— half a dozen squalls of
from ten to thirty minutes every day — but no one minds
that. It keeps the temperature down and makes every-
thing grow. It is a fine coffee country, but there is almost
no attention paid to the industry. The principal product
is copra. When the Islands were discovered they were
found to have a considerable population, which resembled
the Malays of the Philippines in language but in no other
particular. In physical appearance they resembled the
Indonesian and Papuan race and were divided Into two
classes, one composing the nobility and the other the com-
mon people, between which marriage, by their own laws
and customs, was not permitted. As soon as the Span-
lards acquired possession of the islands all the inhabitants
were reduced to a common state of servitude. This was
not brought about without a long and serious struggle, for
the natives held out valiantly against their oppressors and
resistance did not cease until 60,000, or more than one-half,
of the native population had fallen in the conflict or had
escaped to the Caroline islands, while more than one-third
of the 180 villages had been destroyed. In 1760 the popu-
lation of the group had been reduced to 1,600 inhabitants,
and to supply the deficiency occasioned by the long strug-
gle Tagul colonists were brought from the Philippines, but
these compulsory immigrants perished from epidemics and
the severity of the demands made upon them by the new
masters of the islands. In 1875 the native population
had become reduced to about 600 souls.
The entire population of the group is concentrated on
the island of Guam, except a few colonies of fishermen.
The island of Tinian has only a single village and a com-
munity of lepers, while Reta and Sayan have only a few
hundred Inhabitants each. Not only have the people fallen
off in numbers but in capacity as well. While they have
learned all the vices of the few Spaniards and Malays
who have supplanted the larger portion of the aborig-
ines, they have forgotten the virtues and the industries
that their forefathers practiced. Agriculture has been

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
practically abandoned, modern pottery has
taken the place of that made by the na-
tives, imported cloths have destroyed the
manufacture of the coarser domestic fab-
rics, houses that the natives used to build
and inhabit have disappeared and the
rudest huts have taken their places, and
many of the arts practiced by the people
have been wholly lost under the blighting
rule of the Spaniards.
The government of the archipelago has, of
necessity, been military in its character,
the garrison at the capital, Agana, on the
island of Guam, being composed of some
sixty Spanish and 300 native recruits drawn
from the population by conscription, under
a captain-general appointed by the Spanish
cabinet. The garrison has been usually
supported by a small and Inefficient gun-
boat, which has been necessary to restrain
the people as well as the native troops.
The importance of the Mariana archipel-
ago to the United States depends entirely
upon the part it is to play in the peace con-
ference at Paris. When Capt. Glass, in
command of the Charleston, left Honolulu
he was. given sealed orders which were not
to be opened until he was out of sight of
land. He was destined to Manila to re-en-
force Admiral Dewey and convoy a fleet
carrying troops to Gen. Merritt. These or-
ders directed him to stop at Guam, capture
the governor and all the Spanish officials
and soldiers and destroy the fortifications
at Agana, the capital, or in the bay of San
Luis d'Apra, upon which the town is situ-
ated. Early on the morning of June 20 land
was sighted, the Charleston cleared for ac-
tion and sailed into the bay. Entering the
harbor, Capt. Glass directed his course to
Fort Santa Cruz, upon which he opened fire
at a range of 3.000 yards with his three-
pounders. Thirteen shells were fired with-
out eliciting any response. At length Lieut.
Garcia Gutierrez of the Spanish navy and
Dr. Romero of the army rowed out to the
vessel to see if the men on the Charleston
were in good health and to give the promise
to Capt. Glass that they would return his
salute just as soon as they could borrow
some powder for the two old guns that were
in the fort. The following account of the
surrender is by Oscar King Davis and was
published in Harper's Weekly, the official
report of Capt. Glass not having been made
public:
Gutierrez and Romero were thunderstruck
at being informed of the real situation, and
when told that Manila was in Dewey's
hands, practically, the Spanish fleet de-
stroyed, and that they were prisoners of
war, they were most unhappy. Francis
Portusac, a native of Guam and an Agana
merchant, who was naturalized in Chicago
in 1888, was with the officials to act as in-
terpreter, but Capt. Glass used him more
as a bureau of information about the island.
Finally the captain paroled the Spaniards
for the day and sent them away in their
boats with a verbal message to the govern-
or, Lieut. -Col. Don Jose Marina y Vega, to
hurry up and pay his official call. That
evening Gov. Marina sent Capt. Glass a
message to the effect that the military
regulations of Spain forbade him to set
foot on a foreign vessel, but he would be
pleased to see the captain at his office in
the morning. Capt. Glass replied that he
would see the governor himself, or send an
officer to represent him.
The next morning Lieut. William Braun-
ersreuther, the navigator of the Charleston,
with Ensign Waldo Evans and five men,
went ashore. Lieut. Braunersreuther car-
ried a formal note to the governor from
Capt. Glass, which gave him thirty minutes
in which to surrender unconditionally. The
guns of the Charleston were ready to en-
force the demauds. Lieut. Braunersreuther
met the governor at the lauding place at
the native village of Piti. With the gov-
ernor were Capt. Duarte of the Spanish
army, his secretary, the port captain, Lieut.
Gutierrez and Dr. Romero. In presenting
the note from Capt. Glass Lieut. Brauners-
reuther said, in Spanish:
"I have the honor to present a communi-
cation from my commandant. I am author-
ized to wait one-half hour for your reply.
In presenting this communication I call
your attention to the fact that we have, as
you see, three large ships in the harbor,
and a fourth [the Sydney had remained
outside] outside ready to come in. One of
these ships is a modern war vessel of high
power, with large guns. The others are
transports full of soldiers. We have a
large force here. I call your attention to
these facts in order that you may not make
any hasty or ill-considered reply to the
note of my commandant."
Gov. Marina bowed and thanked Lieut.
Braunersreuther, took the note and retired
with his staff into his office. From its win-
dow, if he chanced to look out, he could see
the steam launch of the Charleston towing
a string of boats full of men up toward the
landing place. In the boats were Llent.
Myers, D. S. M. C., of the Charleston, with
forty marines from the ship, and part of
company A, 2d Oregon, Capt. H. L. Heath,
from the Australia. This was the first de
tachment of the landing force Gen. Ander-
son and Capt. Glass had agreed on the
night before. The rest of company A ana
company D, Capt. A. T. Prescott, were
waiting on the Australia for the launch to
return and tow them to land. To their
intense disgust, not a man of them set foot I
on land. The first detachment tied up to
the Japanese brigantine while the launch |
wrent back for the rest, and before it came
back the work had all been done.
For twenty-nine minutes Lieut. Brauners-
reuther waited, watch in hand, for the
reply. Then Gov. Marina came out of his
office with a sealed letter addressed to
Capt. Glass. "It is for your commandant,"
he said, as Lieut. Braunersreuther broke it
open. "I represent my commandant here,"
was the reply. Gov. Marina had written:
"Sir: In the absence of any notification
from my government concerning the rela-
tions of war between the United States and
Spain, and without any means of defense,
or the possibility of defense in the face of
such a large opposing force, I feel com-
pelled, in the interests of humanity and to
save life, to make a complete surrender of
all under my jurisdiction. Trusting to your
mercy and justice, I have the honor to be,"
etc., etc.
So Guam was surrendered, with all the
Mariana islands. The unhappy governor had
no notice that the force which had threat-
ened him was intended really for Manila,
and thought that it had been sent out solely
against the Mariana group. He had but
fifty-four Spanish regulars and a company
of Chamorros, and was, as he said, quite
without means of making a defense. Lieut.

Braunersreuther required him to write an
order to Lieut. Ramos, in command of the
troops at Agana, to have them on the pier
at Piti, with all arms, aecouterments and
ammunition and the four Spanish flags in
the island, at 4 o'clock that afternoon. That
done, the governor wrote a long farewell to
his wife, telling her to send his clothing
and personal effects to Piti at once.
Soon after the arrival of the prisoners on
the Charleston Capt, Glass took a large
United States flag and went in his barge to
Fort Santa Cruz, where he hoisted the stars
and stripes on the old Spanish staff. As the
first broad red stripe rose over the ruined
battlements the six-inch rifles of the
Charleston roared out the national salute.
Formal possession had been taken of Guam.
At the same time the bands on the Aus-
tralia and Peking played the "Star-Spangled
Banner," and the soldiers and sailors on
the troopships and cruiser gave three times
three for Uncle Sam's new island.
The captures consisted of 108 Mauser and
Remington rifles and 15,000 rounds of am-
munition.

THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
The republic of Hawaii, tho union or
which to the United States was completed
on the 12th of August, 1898, consists of
eight islands in the Pacific ocean, between
longitude 154.40 and 160.30 west from Green-
wich and latitude 22.16 and 18.55 north.
They were discovered by Capt. Cook in 1778,
and on Hawaii he was killed by the natives
Feb. 14, 1779. They are located on tlie
edge of the tropics, but their position in
mid-ocean and the prevalence of the north-
east trade winds gives them a climate of
perpetual summer without enervating heat.
The group occupies a central position In
the North Pacific, 2,089 nautical miles
southwest of San Francisco, 4,640 from
Panama, 3,800 from Auckland (New Zea-
land), 4,950 from Hongkong, 3,440 from
Yokohama and 4,350 from Manila. It will
thus be seen that Hawaii lies about one-
third of the distance on the accustomed
routes from San Francisco to Japan and
Chinese ports, from San Francisco to Aus-
tralia, from the Pacific poets of British
Columbia to Australia and British India
and about half way from the Isthmus or
Panama to Yokohama and Hongkong. A gov-
ernment publication has -the following to
say as to the importance of Hawaii as a
naval station: "From a naval standpoint
Hawaii is the great strategic base of the
Pacific. Under the present conditions of
naval warfare, created by the use of steam
as a motive power, Hawaii would secure to
the maritime nation possessing it an im-
mense advantage as a depot for the supply
of coal. Modern battleships, depending
absolutely upon coal, would be enabled to
avail themselves of their full capacity of
speed and energy only by having some half-
way station in the Pacific where they could
replenish their stores of fuel and refit. A
battleship or cruiser starting from an
Asiatic or Australian port, with the view
of operating along the coast of either
North America or South America, would be
unable to act effectively for any length of
time at the end of so long a voyage unless
she were able to refill her bunkers at some
point on the way. On the other hand, tte
United States, possessing Hawaii, will be
able to advance its line of defense 2,000
miles from the Pacific coast, and, with a
fortified harbor and a strong fleet at Hono-
lulu, will be in a position to conduct either
defensive or offensive operations in the
North Pacific to greater advantage than any
other power."
There are eight principal islands in the
group, the others being mere rocks of no
present value. They are named, beginning
from the northwest:

Total 6,740
By comparison it will be seen that the
area of the islands is only a little less than
that of the state of New Jersey, while it is
more than three times that of the state of
Delaware.
The islands that present the most attrac-
tions are Hawaii, Maul, Oahu and Kauai,
as it is on these that coffee, fruits, pota-
toes, corn and vegetables of various kinds
are produced in the most luxuriant profu-
sion and where land can bo obtained on
reasonable terms. Hawaii is the largest 01
the group and presents the gn-atest variety
of soil and climate. The island is divided
into eight districts. Those on the windward
side— North Kohala, Hamakua, Hilo and
Puna — are well watered by plentiful rains,
while on the lee side South Kohala, North
Kona, South Kona and Kau are rarely with-
out necessary water supply. The Kona dis-
trict is noted for both its coffee and sugar.
The coffee industry is carried on by sev-
eral hundred proprietors, whose plantations
embrace an acreage ample for 200,000 trees
down to those who work an acre or more.
A government report says of this island
that there are "thousands of acres at
present uncultivated and only awaiting the
enterprise of the temperate zone to develop
them."
Maul is one of the most productive islands
in the group and produces sugar and coffee,
the cultivation of which is largely confined
to the eastern portion, which has been only
recently devoted to those products. On tb<>
Island is a large mountain, Haleakala, the
western slope of which is covered with
farms where the smaller grains are raised,
with some swine. On this island thou-
sands of acres are lying fallow.
No one of the group offers better advan-
tages than Oahu. Very many acres of land
in the fertile valleys are yet wholly unde-
veloped, the inhabitants being devoted to
the cultivation of sugar on the larger is-
lands. On this is situated the capital of
the country. A line of railroad has been
built extending west from Honolulu a dis-
tance of about thirty miles, and It is pro-
posed to continue it entirely around the
Island. The road runs through a very rich
coffee-producing region and affords good fa-
cilities for transporting the product to the
capital, which is the chief port of entry in
the group.
Kauai is popularly known as "the garden
island" from the luxuriance of its vegeta-
tion. The chief products are sugar and
rice. Little coffee is being grown, its in-
troduction being but recently made. There
are larger areas of rich unoccupied lands
on the island of Kaual.
On Oahu is Honolulu, the capital of the
whilom republic. It is a city of 30,000
inhabitants and is one of the most advanced
capitals on the g-lobe. It is lighted with
electric lights and has an extensive tele-
phone system and street cars. Any variety
of goods that can be bought in any southern
city in the world can be purchased at its
stores, while the public buildings are ornate
and commodious. It is abundantly supplied
with churches and the best of schools, a
large public library, a Young Men's Chris-
tian association hall, a Masonic temple, an
Odd-Fellows' hall and all other appliances
of an advanced civilization, not to mention
four daily and two weekly English papers,
besides others printed in the Hawaiian,
Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese lan-
guages. Among the native Hawaiians the

percentage of illiteracy is very small, it
having been officially declared not to be
greater than it is in the state of Massachu-
setts.
The Hawaiian islands are of volcanic
formation, and there are two active vol-
canoes on Hawaii — Kilauea and Mauna Loa.
The altitude of Mauna Kea, the highest
point on Hawaii, is 13,805 feet. The moun-
tains on other islands range from 4,000 to
6,000 feet. The topography is broken and
diversified, with many valleys and streams.
The mountain sides abound in forests, con-
taining an abundance of ship timber and
many ornamental woods. Among the min-
erals that have been noticed are sulphur,
pyrites, common salt, sal ammoniac, limo-
nite, quartz, augite, chrysolite, garnet,
labradorite, feldspar, gypsum, soda, alum,
copperas, glauber salts, niter and calcite.
"In the Hawaiian islands," say£ a pam-
phlet of the Hawaiian government, "Amer-
icans and Europeans can and do work in the
open air at all seasons of the year, as
they cannot in countries lying in the same
latitude elsewhere. To note an instance:
Calcutta lies a little to the north of the
latitude of Eauai, our most northerly island
and in Calcutta the American and European
can only work with his brain; hard physical
labor he cannot do and live. On the Ha-
waiian islands he can work and thrive."
The rainfall varies, being greater on the
windward side of the islands, aud increas-
ing up to a certain elevation. Thus, at
Olaa, on the island of Hawaii, windward
•ide and elevation of about 2,000 feet, the
rainfall from July 1, 1894, to June 30, 1895,
was 176.82 inches, while at Kailua, on the
leeward side, at a low level, it was only
61.21 inches during the same period.
The temperature also varies according to
elevation and position. On the island of
Hawaii one can get any climate from the
heat of summer to actual winter at the
summits of the two great mountains. A
meteorological record, kept carefully for a
period of twelve years, gives 89 degrees aa
the highest and 54 degrees as the lowest
temperature recorded, or a mean tempera-
ture of 71.5 degrees for the year. A case of
sunstroke has never been known. People
take no special precautions against the sun,
wearing straw and soft felt hats similar to
those worn in the United States during the
summer months.
The prevailing winds are the northeast
trades. These blow for about nine months
of the year. The remainder of the period
the winds are variable and chiefly from tht>
south. The islands are outside the cyclono
belt, and severe storms accompanied by
thunder and lightning are of rare occur
re nee.
The islands possess a healthful climate.
There are no virulent fevers such as are en-
countered on the coast of Africa or in the
West India islands. Epidemics seldom visit
the islands, and when they do they are gen-
erally light. A careful system of quaran-
tine guards them now from epidemics from
abroad.
The pamphlet entitled "The Republic of
Hawaii." issued by the department of for-
eign affairs of the islands in 1896. gives a
fall account of the agricultural resources of
the country, with Interesting detniis as to
the coffee industry, from which the follow-
ing matter is extracted: The mainstay of
the islands, it says, has for the last thirty-
five years been the sugar industry. From
this source a large amount of wealth has
been accumulated. But the sugar industry
requires large capital for expensive ma-
chinery and nas never proved remunerative
to small investors. An attempt has been
made at profit-sharing, and has met with
some success, the small farmer cultivating
and the capitalist grinding at a central
mill. Of late years, moreover, the small
farmer has been steadily developing in the
Hawaiian islands, and attentiou has been
given to other products than sugar.
Rice neither Europeans nor Americans
can cultivate as laborers. It requires
working in marshy land, aud, though on the
islands it yields two crops a year, none but
the Chinaman can raise it successfully. A
dry-land or mountain rice has been intro-
duced.
The main staple, after sugar and rice, is
coffee. Of this, hundreds of thousands of
trees have been planted out within the last
five years. This is essentially the crop ot
the future, and bids fair to become as im-
portant a staple as sugar. Coffee does not
require the amount of capital that sugar
does and it can be worked remuneratively
upon a small area. It is estimated that at
the end of the fourth year the return from a
seventy-five-acre coffee plantation will much
more than pay the running expenses, whlie
from that time on a return of from |8,000
to $10,000 per annum may be realized.
Fruits can also be cultivated to advan-
tage. At present the banana trade of the
islands amounts to over 100,000 bunches pel
annum, valued at over $100,000, and the
quantity might very easily be quadrupled
The banana industry may be regarded as in
its infancy. The export of the fruit is only
from the island of Oahu, but there are
thousands of acres on the other islands of
the group which could be profitably used for
this cultivation and for nothing else. The
whole question of the banana industry
hinges on the market. At present the mar-
ket is limited.
Limes and oranges can be cultivated and
the fruit can be easily packed for export;
at present the production does not meet the
local market. The fruits can be raised to
perfection. The Hawaiian orange has a fine
flavor and the Hawaiian lime is of euperiot
quality. In the uplands of Hawaii and
Maul potatoes are raised. Their quality Is
good. Corn is also raised. In these indus-
tries many Portuguese, Norwegians and
others have embarked. Both these products
find an ample local market. The corn is
used largely for feed on the plantations, and
ground with the cob makes an excellent
feed for working cattle, horses ana mules.
In the uplands where the climate is tem-
perate, as at Wairnea, Hawaii, vegetables
of all kinds can be raised; excellent cauli-
flowers, cabbages and every product of the
temperate zone can be grown to perfection.
Cattle raising in so small a place us the
Hawaiian islands does not present great
opportunities except for local consumption.
Pigs are profitable to the small farmer.
In the Kula district of Maul pigs are fat-
tened upon the corn and potatoes raised in
the district. The price of pork, dressed. Is
25 cents a pound in Honolulu and about 15
cents a round in the outside dlstiicts.
The Chinese, of whom there are some
20,000 resident on the various islands, are
extremely fond of pork, so that there is a
large local market, which has to be supple-
mented by importations from California.
Attention has lately been given to fiber
plants, for which there are many suitable

locations. Ramie grows luxuriantly, but
the lack of proper decorticating and clean-
Ing machinery nas prevented any advance
In this cultivation.
Sisal hemp and sanseveira have been ex-
perimented with, but without any distinct
influence upon the trade output.
The cultivation of pineapples is a growing
industry. In 1895 "pines were exported
from the islands to San Francisco to the
value of nearly $9.000. This has grown up
in the last half-dozen years. There is every
reason to think that canning pineapples for
the coast and other markets can be made
profitable.
The guava, which grows wild, can also
be put to profit for the manufacture of
guava jelly. It has never been entered upon
on a large scale, but to the thrifty farmer it
would be a convenient addition to his in-
come, just as the juice of the maple adds to
the Income of farmers of the eastern states.
Well-made guava jolly will find a market
anywhere. In England it is regarded as a
great delicacy, being imported from the
West India islands. Besides the gnava
there are other fruits which can be put up
to commercial profit, notably the poha, or
cape gooseberry (physalls edulis). This has
been successfully made into jams and jelly,
which command an extensive local sale and
should find their way into larger markets.
In fact, outside the great Industries of
sugar, coffee and rice there is a good field
for many minor industries which can Jt>e
carried on with profit.
In the Hawaiian islands a simple life can
be lived^ and entering gradually upon the
coffee industry a good competence can be
obtained long before such could be realized
by the agriculturist in less favored coun-
tries. However, it is useless to go to the
islands without the necessary capital to
develop the land that can be obtained. Be-
tween arriving and the time that the crops
begin to give returns there is a period where
the living must be close and cash must be
paid out for the necessary improvements.
HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
The record of the proceedings having for'
their object the annexation of Hawaii to
the United States was brought down in
The Daily News Almanac for 1898 to Sep-
tember, 1897, when the Hawaiian senate
met in special session for considering the
annexation treaty then pending in the sen-
ate of the United States, which will be
found on page 265 of that volume. The
Hawaiian senate signified its assent to the
annexation of the islands to the United
States, although there was a strong feeling
of opposition to such action among the
native royalists, who opposed a surrender of
their government and territory. It will be
remembered that the annexation treaty was
transmitted to the United States senate In
June, 1897, just before the close of the
special session, and it was publicly ex-
pected that it would be acted upon early in
the session of the regular congress which
met in December of that year. The treaty
was considered in secret session, and it be-
came evident that although the annexation
of Hawaii was supposed to be a republican
measure the ratification of the treaty was
opposed by some of the ablest members of
that party in the senate, while it had the
unqualified support of several members of
the opposition. It was publicly stated that
Mr. alorrlll (Rep.) of Vermont and Mr.
Hoar (Rep.) of Massachusetts opposed the
ratification of the treaty, while Mr. Morgan
(Dem.) of Alabama, recognized leader of
his party, warmly advocated its adoption.
Other republicans were disposed to object to
the union, while some of the othor demo-
crats and all the populists favored the pro-
posal.
On the 24th of January, 1898. Mr. Joseph
O. Carter arrived in Washington from Ha-
waii to oppose the adoption of the treaty,
which he declared would be injurious to
both countries, while he affirmed that Ha-
waii was amply able to take care of herself.
On the 26th of January President Dole of
the Hawaiian republic viwited Washington
and was received as the chief executive of a
neighboring state. He remained at the
capital some two weeks, and during the
time he refrained from expressing himself
publicly upon the subject of annexation.
The treaty was reported from the committee
on foreign relations to the senate near the
middle of January, and the opposition to its
ratification at once developed itself. On
the 3d of February Senator White (Dem.) of
California offered a resolution setting forth
that the people of Hawaii had the right to
maintain their own form of government and
the United States ought not to interfere
with such right. On the 7th Senator Mor-
gan (Dem.) of Alabama offered an amend-
ment to this resolution, which was as
follows :
"That the republic of Hawaii, established
in and based upon its present constitution,
is a rightful government, and has been and
still is recognized as such by the United
States of America and by other great pow-
ers, without any question by any nation of
its rightful and sovereign independence; and
said constitution is the true and recognized
authority that fixes the measure and the
distribution of the rights and powers of
government in that republic while said con-
stitution remains in force.
"That in conformity with the existing
constitution of the republic of Hawaii, and
so long as the same is in force, the powers
of government reside in and are to oe ex-
ercised by the Incumbents* of the depart-
ments, tribunals and offices created by
said constitution and filled in pursuance of
law, and the lawful electors under said
constitution who qualify as such by taking
the oath of allegiance prescribed therein
are entitled to share in the government of
Hawaii according to the rights secured to
them in said constitution, and to the extent
and in the manner therein provided, so long
as the same is in force.
"And said government of the republic of
Hawaii having in due form signified its
consent in the manner provided in its con-
stitution that the Hawaiian Islands, with
all the territory appurtenant thereto, over
which said government now claims to exer-
cise sovereign jurisdiction, shall be annexed
to and become a part of the territory of the
United States of America, and shall be sub-
ject to the national power and sovereign
Jurisdiction thereof, it is hereby enacted
and declared that said cession is accepted,
ratified and confirmed, and that said Ha-
waiian islands are annexed as a part of the
146
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
territory of the United States of America,
and are subject to the sovereign dominion
thereof."
Mr. Davis (Rep.) of Minnesota, chairman
of the committee on foreign relations,
moved that the resolution of Mr. White and
the amendment proposed by Mr. Morgan be
referred to the foreign relations committee,
and after a brief colloquy between Mr.
White and Mr. Morgan they were so re-
ferred.
The subject was debated In both the
senate and house of representatives and on
the 5th of March, 1898, the foreign relations
committee of the senate became satisfied
that the proposed treaty could not be rati-
fied, for the number of votes In the senate
was from four to six less than the requisite
number. Two courses were open to the
friends of annexation to pursue — first, to
amend the treaty so as to make It accepta-
ble to those who objected to it In Its present
form, and, second, to drop the treaty en-
tirely and substitute for it a joint resolution
which would require only a majority vote
of the two houses of congress and could be
openly discussed in both bodies. It was de-
cided to adopt the second method, and on
the 16th of March, 1898, Senator Davis (Kep.)
of Minnesota reported to the senate from
the foreign relations committee a joint
resolution drawn by Senator Morgan of Ala-
bama, which was as follows:
"Section 1. The government of the repub-
lic of Hawaii having in due form sig-
nified Its consent In the manner pro-
vided by its constitution to cede absolutely
and without reserve to the United States
of America all rights of sovereignty of
whatsoever kind In and to the Ha-
waiian islands and their dependencies, and
also to cede and transfer to the United
States the absolute fee and ownership of
all public, government or crown lands, pub-
lic buildings or edifices, forts, harbors, mili-
tary equipment and all other public prop-
erty of whatever kind or description belong-
ing to the government of the Hawaiian
islands, together with every right and ap-
purtenance thereunto appertaining; there-
fore be it
"Resolved, That said concession is ac-
cepted, ratified and confirmed, and that the
said Hawaiian islands and their dependen-
cies be and they are hereby annexed as a
part of the territory of the United States,
and are subject to the sovereign dominion
thereof, and that all and singular the prop-
erty and rights hereinbefore mentioned are
'vested in the United States of America."
The resolution then adopts the language
of the treaty (see Daily News Almanac,
1898, page 266), beginning with the second
paragraph of the second section, and taking
all the remainder of it, but does not cite it
as a part of the treaty. These provide for
the disposal of the Hawaiian public lands,
for the temporary governmi-nt of the islands
until congress decides upon a permanent
form of government, the abrogation of Ha-
waiian treaties and the preservation of Ha-
waiian customs regulations until those of
the United States shall be put into opera-
tion, the assumption of the public debt of
Hawaii by the United States to the extent
of $4.000,000, the regulation of Chinese im-
migration and the appointment by the
president of five commissioners to prepare
a code of laws for the government of the
islands.
Section 2 provides that the commission-
ers provided for shall be appointed by the
president, by and with the advice and con-
sent of the senate. The sum of $100,000 la
appropriated by the third and last section
for the purpose of carrying the resolution
into effect, and this sum is made immedi-
ately available.
During these discussions the war feeling
In the United States had been raised to a
fever heat by the destruction of the battle-
ship Maine in the harbor of Havana and by
the declaration of war against Spain on the
21st of April. On the 27th of April Presi-
dent Dole sent a communicatl >n -to Presi-
dent MeKinley offering to transfer the Ha-
waiian Islands to the United States for the
purposes of its war with Spain and to fur-
nish the American ships of war In the Pa-
cific ocean with coal, provisions and ammu-
nition. In the opinion of high officers of
both the army and navy and of many mem-
bers of both houses of congress it became
the duty of this government to protect
Hawaii from the legitimate tvsults of its
friendship for the United States, as ex-
pressed in the offer of its chief executive,
and to guard it against attacks from Spain
and her allies. Some were of the belief
that all this could be accomplished by hav-
ing this government establish a protectorate
over Hawaii, without exposing the United
States to the liabilities and burdens that
would have to be assumed in case of annexa-
tion. On the 4th of May Mr. Newlands (sil-
ver Rep.) from Nevada introduced into the
house the following joint resolution:
"Whereas, The government of the repub-
lic of Hawaii having in due form signified
Its consent, in the manner provided by its
constitution, to cede absolutely and without
reserve to the United States of America all
rights of sovereignty of whatsoever kind in
and over the Hawaiian islands and their
dependencies, and also to cede and transfer
to the United States the absolute fee and
ownership of all public, government or
crown lands, public buildings or edifices,
forts, harbors, military equipment and all
other public property of every kind and de-
scription belonging to the government of the
Hawaiian Islands, together with every right
and appurtenance thereunto appertaining;
therefore,
"Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America In congress assembled. That said
cession Is accepted, ratified and confirmed,
and that the said Hawaiian islands and
their dependencies be and they are hereby
annexed as a part of the territory of the
United States, and are subject to the sov-
ereign dominion thereof, and that all and
singular the property and rights hereinbe-
fore mentioned are vested in the United
States of America.
"The existing laws of the United States
relative to public land shall not apply to
such lands in the Hawaiian islands, but the
congress of the United States shall enact
special laws for their management and dis-
position; provided, that all revenue from
or proceeds of the same, except as regards
such part thereof as may be used or occu-
pied for the civil, military or naval pur-
poses of the United States, or may be as-
signed for the use of the local government,
shall be used solely for the benefit of the in-
habitants of the Hawaiian Islands for edu-
cational and other public purposes.

The resolutions went to the president and
were signed by him on the 7th of July, 1898.
In accordance with the resolutions the presi-
dent selected as the five commissioners who
are to recommend to congress such legisla-
tion as they regard necessary and proper for
the government of the new possessions the
following: Senators Shelby M. Cullom
(Rep.) of Illinois and John T. Morgan (Dem.)
of Alabama, Representative Robert R. Hitt
(Kep.) of Illinois, and Sanford B. Dole,
president of Hawaii, and Walter F. Frear,
representing Hawaii.
That this government has annexed the
Hawaiian islands without the consent of the
large majority of the native population is
not to be denied. Upon this subject Rear-
Admiral L. A. Beardslee, U. S. N., who,
from being a long time stationed at Hono-
lulu, is thoroughly competent to express an
opinion-, says in a recent article in the
North American Review:
"That we have not obtained the full and
free consent of these people seems to be a
fact. Circumstances which occurred on and
before annexation day, the 12th of last
August, indicate this very strongly. A short
time before protests against annexation
had been filed with both governments by
political societies. On the day when an-
nexation was consummated of the great
number of the best of Honolulu people who,
through social or official standing, were en-
titled to places on the great platform built
on the steps of the executive building —
formerly the palace of Hawaii's monarchs —
to witness and participate in the ceremo-
nies but one of the three principal classes
into which Honolulu people are divided was
present in any force, these, namely, who
affiliated with or supported the party or
which the government was formed. The
other parties, the natives and half-white».
and the royalists, took no part, and among-
them were people whose official and social
standing are such that their absence could
not have been the result of accident. There
were at the time In Honolulu the ex-Queen
Liliuokalani, the ex-Dowager Queen Kapio.
lani, the ex-Princess Kaiulani. and in the
list I have before me as I write I cannot
find their names nor the name of any of the
prominent royalists, nor of a Hawaiian not
attached to the government.
"The band of Hawaiian damsels who
were to have lowered for the last time
the Hawaiian flag as the government
band played for the last time the Ha-
waiian ponoi would not lower it. The
band refused to play the ponoi and loud
weeping was the only music contributed by
the natives. Very evidently there was dis-
HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
149
cord, and as evidently the breach which
had been made by the events of 1893 was
Dot vet healed, the opposing factions into
which the Hawaiian people had then been
split had not coalesced. Beyond question, a
large body of those who were to be governed
did not consent to the new government."
The native population that remains loyal
to Queen Liliuokulaui and opposed the
union is estimated at about 40,000.
Aug. 12, 1898, was decided upon as the
day for the ceremonies at Honolulu upon
which the formal transfer of the islands
to the United States should take place.
The following is the press account of the
proceedings :
"Every nationality was represented in the
grounds of the executive building on the
morning of Aug. 12 except the Hawaiian.
The throng of sightseers began to arrive
early, but no Kanakas came. At 10 o'clock
the Hawaiian national guard marched to
the water front to escort the men from the
United States steamship Philadelphia to the
grounds of the executive building. There
were many Hawaiians in the guard, but
they hoped to be able to avert their faces
at the critical moment and so avoid seeing
what they regarded as the death of their
nation.
"The beautiful grounds of the executive
building, planned for royal pastimes and
never anticipating such a scene as this,
were crowded with people. The seats had
been arranged on the sward in the deep
shade of the banana and bread-fruit trees.
Since early in the morning these had been
occupied by a medley of Chinese, Japanese
and Portuguese, craning their necks to see
the sights and caring not a jot that a
nationality was to set that day. The guests
of prominence were admitted to the bal-
conies and to the platform that jutted over
the drive, and men of the foreign office, lit-
erally staggering under pounds of sold
braid, had as much difficulty in seating
these people in the places assigned to them
as if they had all been petty German
princes at a Victorian jubilee. Heraldry is
an art in Honolulu, and in spite of the mix-
ture of blood, or, perhaps, because of it,
they are sticklers In matters of precedence.
On the platform, decorated with entwined
Hawaiian and American flags, were seated
all of Honolulu's official life, Including the
cabinet officials and their wives, the minis-
ters and their wives, the judges and mem-
bers of the legislature, the foreign diplo-
mats and the navy officers. The long veran-
das and platform were as brilliant as flower
beds with bright frocks of all Imaginable
hues and the white clothes of the men.
"At 11:45 President Dole and his cabinet
appeared, followed immediately by United
States Minister Sewall. Admiral Miller, U.
S. N., and his staff. These took their ap-
pointed places and every one stood while the
last prayer of the provisional government
was said. The Kev. G. L. Pearson of the
First Methodist church was appointed to
say it, and the crowd maintained an almost
| reverent silence as he spoke. The men from
the Philadelphia, the Hawaiian national
guard, the members of the citizens' guard
and the sharpshooters, who were seated be-
hind them, bent their heads while a blessin
was asked on this union of America an
Hawaii.
"Then came the formal transfer of sover-
eignty. Mr. Sewall. United States minister,
had been carrying under his arm a square
blue envelope of official appearance, and
this he handed to President Dole with the
information that it contained the joint reso-
lution of annexation. President Dole re-
ceived the envelope and said:
" 'A treaty of peaceful union having been
made in the interest of the Hawaiian body
jolitic, with full confidence in the honor,
ustice and friendship of the American peo-
ple we yield up to you as the representative
of the government of the United States the
sovereignty and public property of the Ha-
waiian islands.'
Mr. Sewall accepted the gift In the name
of the people of the United States and ev-
ery American there felt richer than before.
The minister then called on the admiral to
do his duty, and at a signal from Fresident
Dole the Hawaiian band played the flrst
notes of 'Hawaii Ponoi,' the national en-
them, while vigorous wig-wagging from the
American sailors made It certain that in a
second or two they would begin the last
salute to the Hawaiian flag. Chopin's fu-
neral march was never more melancholy
than the notes of this national melody. The
natives in the band had begged to be re-
leased from playing it and could be seen
fleeing round the corner seeking to get away
from sight of their beloved flag.
'In a moment guns were roaring their last
good-by and the flag of Hawaii was shiver-
ing convulsively at the top of the halyards.
Another moment and it was slowly settling
to earth and all eyes were bent upon it.
There went up a fluttering sigh from thou-
sands of people. Just as it neared the
f round and was caught in the arms of Its
riends Admiral Miller signaled and the
blare of an American bugle rent the air. It
was a call to colors.
"Then began to roll up from the ground
a magnificent American flag, so ample, so
soft in coloring that it seemed to drape the
whole front of the building In Its ascent.
At sight of it there did not burst forth
cheers as there would in more northern lati-
tudes, but the Philadelphia's band hailed It
with 'The Star-Spangled Banner,* and when
it reached its lofty place there came a
hearty hurrah from the American throats,
while a rain of tears coursed over the faces
of those Hawaiians who had witnessed the
change of emblems.
"The president's proclamation, read by
Minister Sewall, followed almost immedi-
ately. It made no change of officials, leav-
ing the personnel of the government the
same as before. The minister's speed]
came next, and then the solemn oath of
allegiance to the United States was taken
by Mr. Dole and his cabinet, the uplifted
hands of some officials trembling as if with
palsy.
"The next scene in the annexation drama
was at the barracks, which were once the
king's. Drawn up in a hollow square Ha-
waii's national guard took the oath, while a
multitude looked on. The men who wishe-i
to swear allegiance were ordered to un-
cover and raise their right hands. Sonw
refused to abjure their allegiance and stooc
with covered heads while the rest were
swearing. Later Gov. Dole presented to the
men the faded and historic flag, no less a
one than that which was carried by the
marines of the Boston when they landed
here in 1893. About the same time there
was run up on the judiciary building the
identical flag that Commissioner Blo'jnt or-
dered down on a memorable occasion.'1

EXPORTS OF MINERAL OILS.
The large production of mineral oils In
other parts of tlie world, while it has not
reduced our exportation, has probably re-
duced the prices which our producers and
exporters have been able to realize. The
exports of oil In the year 1898 were prac-
tically double those of 1888 and three times
those of 1878, but the money received for
them was only about 25 per cent greater
than that received either In 1878 or 1888.
The total receipts for the 1,034,269.676 gal-
lons of oil exported in 1898 were $56,126,578,
while for the 578,351.638 gallons exported In
' 1888 the receipts were $47,042,409, and for the
338,841,303 gallons exported in 1878 the re-
ceipts were $46,574,974. The average export
value of refined illuminating oil was in 1872
24.9 cents per gallon; in 1878, 14.4 cents per
gallon; In 1888, 7.9 cents per gallon, and in
1898, 5.2 cents per gallon, having thus fallen
from 24.9 cents to 5.2 cents from 1872 to
1898. Notwithstanding this steady fall the
production and exportation continues to In-
crease, the exports having Increased over
60,000,000 gallons In the last year over that
of the preceding year and over 100,000.000
gallons over that of any earlier year, while
the production for 1897 was 2,528.067.984 gal-
lons, against 2,033.331.972 in 1894, 1.476.867,546
in 1890, 1,017,174,396 in 1885, 836.394,132 in 1880
and 510.825,588 in 1876. Thus, while the price
has been steadily and rapidly falling, the
quantity produced and the quantity exported
have as steadily and rapidly increased. The
production In 1897 was five times that of 1876
and the exportation of last year nearly flve
times that of 1876. Great as the fall in
price has been, the exports or Illuminating
oil bring over $1.000,000 a week into the
country and have in the last twenty years
added a round $1,000,000,000 to our foreign
sales.

P01ITXCA1 MOVEMENTS OF THE YEAR 1898.
Arranged in the Order
BIMETALLIC LEAGUE OF THE OHIO
VALLEY.
The second annual convention of this or-
ganization was held at Indianapolis, Ind.,
on the 7th of April. While nominally
u financial gathering it was in fact po-
litical in its character and strongly ad-
vocated the nomination of Mr. Bryau for
the presidency in 1900, while the sentiment
among the delegates was stivngly in favor
of George Fred Williams of Massachusetts
for the second place on the national ticket.
Judge James P. Tarvin of Covington, Ky.,
presided, and the following resolutions were
adopted:
"Resolved, by the League of Bimetallic
Clubs of the Ohio Valley, in annual con-
vention assembled at Indianapolis on April
7, 1898, That we regard the financial ques-
tion as the paramount political issue of tin-
day, and hereby pledge ourselves to con-
tinue the battle for bimetallism until the
free and unlimited coinage of both silver
and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1,
with full legal tender quality, is secured,
without waiting for the consent or co-opera-
tion of any other nation.
"We are unalterably opposed to the single
gold standard and the so-called reform of
the Indianapolis monetary convention and
all kindred projects.
"We believe that congress alone has
power to coin and issue money and that
this power should not be delegated to Indi-
viduals and corporations; that the power to
control and regulate a paper currency is
inseparable from the power to coin money,
and that all currency intended to circulate
as money should be issued and its volume
controlled by the general government only.
"We invite the co-operation of all persons
who believe that the financial question Is
the paramount political issue and urge that
all other domestic questions be held in
abeyance until the principles enumerated l'i
the foregoing resolutions shall be embodied
into law.
"We express our continued confidence In
the brave and sagacious leader of the bi-
metallic forces in 1896, William Jennings
Bryan, whose high character, eminent abil-
ity, unimpeachable integrity, dauntless
courage, inspired with unparalleled devo-
tion the democratic, silver republican and
populist hosts in 1S96.
"We extend our sympathy to the strug-
gling and starving Cuban patriots in their
contest for liberty, and are in favor of im-
mediate intervention by the United States
to secure the absolute Independence of the
Cuban republic. And while we deprecate
war, unless necessary to maintain the
national honor and to enforce the rule of
civilization and humanity in this hemi-
sphere, we favor such a vigorous foreign
policy as will preserve the dignity of thi-
nation, secure. proper respect for the stars
and stripes . and . prevent in future the
cowardly assassination of our brave and
gallant sailors."
The following officers were chosen for the
ensuing year: President. James P. Tarvin,
Covington, Ky. ; vice-presidents. N. H.
Tucker of Ohio, F. J. Vnn Vnorhies of In-
diana, A. C. Bentley of Illinois: secretary,
Allen C. Clark of Indiana; treasurer. Col.
Shote of Ohio.
of Their Occurrence.
Louisville, Ky., was designated as the
place for holding the convention of 1899.
THE SOCIAL DEMOCRACY OF AMERICA
This organization held a meeting in Chi-,
cago, 111., in June, which resulted In a j
split. Mr. Debs and nis followers retiring to
another hall and organizing a. new political!
party. The point of difference was the |
colonization scheme which Mr. Debs had ,
once championed, but which experiment had !
satisfied him was chimerical and fatal to
the purposes of the organization. The ques-
tion of colonization came up, and after a
night of rather bitter debate the convention
upheld colonization by a vote of 52 to 36,
wnen Mr. Debs and his followers withdrew,
The leaders claim something like 4,000 mem-
bers for the new organization. The follow-
ing platform was adopted:
"Labor, manual and mental, being the
creator of all wealth and all civilization, it
rightfully follows that those who perform
all labor and create all wealth should enjoy
the fruit of their efforts. This is rendered
impossible by the modern system of produc-
tion. The fruits of co-operative labor are
in a great measure appropriated by the
owners of the means of production.
This system is gradually extinguishing the
middle class and necessarily leaves but
two classes in our country — the large class
of workers and the small class of great
employers and capitalists. The producers
can never be In reality free until they be-
come the owners of the means of produc-
tion. This is possible in but two ways:
"1. Individual ownership, which has neve»
been generally realized and which the In-
dustrial development is from day to day
obliterating and rendering impossible.
"2. Social ownership, which has been
made necessary by the development of the
mode of production. The individual instru-
ment, the tool, has developed into a social
instrument, the machine. In order to «on-
form to the change we must substitute so-
cial ownership for individual ownership of
the means of production.
"This social control of the means of pro-
duction must naturally follow the economic
development. To accomplish the transition
it is necessary that the producers of the
country shall unite in an Independent polit-
ical party, the social democratic party of
America, which aims to effect the change
by all honorable means at the disposal of
the producers, especially the ballot, which
from a means of cormption and ofHce-
hunting must be transformed Into a means
of emancipation.
"To arrive at this end we declare in favor
of the following demands:
"1. The public ownership of all Industries
controlled by monopolies, trusts and com-
bines.
"2. The public ownership of all railroads,
telegraphs, telephones, all means of trans-
portation, communication, water works,
gas and electric plants and all other public
utilities.
"3. The public ownership of gold, silver,
copper, lead, coal, iron and all other mines;
also all oil and gas wells. •
"4. Reduction of the hours of labor in
proportion to the progress of production.
"5. The inauguration of a system of pub-
lic works and Improvements for the employ-

ment of the unemployed, the public credit
to be utilized for that purpose.
"6. All useful inventions to be free to all,
the inventor to be remunerated by the
public.
"7. The people to provide honorable main-
tenance for aged and disabled toilers.
"8. Labor legislation to be made national
instead of local and International where
possible.
"9. National insurance of working people
against accidents and lack or employment.
"10. Equal civil and political rights for
women and the abolition of all laws dis-
criminating against women.
"11. The adoption of the initiative and
referendum and the right of recall of repre-
sentatives by the voters; also minority rep-
resentation.
"12. Abolition of war as far as the United
States is concerned and the introduction of
international arbitration instead.
"Dtaft of a farmers' programme — While
In the field of industry the instruments of
production have become centralized to such
a degree that only in collective form can
they be restored to the producers, this is
by no means the case in the field of agri-
culture; here the main instrument ot pro-
Uuction — to wit, the soil — is generally the
individual possession of the producer. We
adopt the following platform for the pur-
pose of uniting the workers in the country
with those in the city:
"1. Nationalization of all mortgages on
land, the rate of interest to be lowered to
cost price.
"2. The national credit to be at the dis-
posal of the farmers for improvement of
their land to the extent of half Its value.
Money to be issued for this purpose, which
is to be destroyed when the installments
are paid.
"3. No more public land to be sold, but to
be utilized by the United States or the state
directly for the public benefit, or leased to
farmers In small parcels of not over 640
acres, the state to make strict regulations
as to improvement and cultivation. Forests
and waterways to be put under direct con-
trol of the nation.
"4. Erection of grain elevators, maga-
zines and cold-storage buildings by the
nation to be used by the farmers at cost
price.
"6. A uniform postal rate for the trans-
portation of agricultural products on all
railroads.

THE PEOPLE'S PARTY CONVENTION.
Pursuant to a call issued by the national
organ'zation committee of the people's party
a convention was held in Cincinnati, O., on
the 6th day of September. The delegates,
numbering about 246. who were in attend-
ance represented that wing of the party
known as the "middle-of-the-road" or "non-
fusionist" element. Ignatius Donnelly of
Minnesota was chosen chairman of the con-
vention. A committee on resolutions was
appointed to present an address to the
people of the United States and to formu-
late a platform. This committee was com-
posed of the following named delegates:
Florida. F. H. Lytle; Georgia, W. J. Mc-
Daniel; Illinois, Ray Goodwin; Indiana, O.
L. Ross; Kentucky, Jo A. Parker; Michi-
gan, James E. McBride; Mississippi, Frank
Burkitt; Ohio, John Phalen; Pennsylvania,
Wharton Barker; Tennessee, Horace Mer-
ritt; Minnesota, Ignatius Donnelly; Mis-
souri, W. O. Atkeson; Arkansas, M. K.
Coffman.
The committee presented the following
address and platform, which were adopted:
"Prosperity is the first right of a people.
"The preamble of the constitution of the
United States declares the purpose of that
instrument to be to 'promote the general
welfare' — in other words, to enrich the peo-
ple and make them happy.
"Liberty ia desired of all men, because it
means equality of opportunity; and this
means universal prosperity. Poverty, lack-
ing liberty, is unable to defend itself
against privilege.
"All history is but a record of the strug-
gles iff mankind to rise to happiness In the
face of misgovernment.
"Labor in the ancient civilizations was but
another name for slavery. All the workers
in the forest, on the farm, in the shop arid
in the mine, were slaves.
"The monuments of Egypt still rear their
massive fronts to heaven, enduring testi-
mony to the enormities of injustice in-
flicted upon the workmen who built them.
"The producers of the wealth of Greece
and Rome were denied happiness in life
and heaven in death. They were regarded
as soulless beings, forbidden to be present
at the religious mysteries, and refused even
the rights of sepulture.
"Their degraded estate was branded in
their very faces, and when they became too
numerous for their masters' safety they
were slaughtered by thousands.
"The fact that they belonged to the same
race, and even to the same families, as
their owners did not in the least mitigate
their sufferings. Nor was it considered any
argument in behalf of the poor creatures
that their outlawed caste had given birth
to great geniuses and commanders, like
^Esop, Probus, Vitellius, Diocletian, and
even Augustus Caesar.
"The producers of all food were hungry,
the creators of all wealth were paupers, -the
manufacturers of all clothing were naked,
the forgers of all weapons were defenseless.
"Out of their very faith in God were
welded the chains that rendered them help-
less; for they feared the denial of the
sacred rites of sepulture more than they
feared death itself, and the baseless hopes
of future bliss, in pagan heaven, were re-
ceived by them as an equivalent for a life
of continuous misery on earth.
"When these wretched beings, unable
longer to bear the incalculable sufferings,
broke out in great insurrections, under
Spartacus, Eunus, Athenion and others,
more than a million of them were crucified
and left to rot on the public highways.
"The birth of the Christian religion was
the first brea-k of light amid the gloomy hor-
rors of this awful spectacle. It came as an
outburst from the depths of the oppressed
and servile class. Its Founder was a me
chanic; His apostles fishermen. It preached
to the multitude equality and universal
brotherhood, the immortality of the soul
and the love of a Heavenly Father. It
scourged the money-changers out of the
temple and consigned the wicked rich to
the tortures of an eternal hell.
"The growth of Christianity was a sue
cessful insurrection of the poor and was
adopted by the great only after it had em-
braced the great body of the people. It

gradually abolished slavery, mitigated the
evils of human selfishness and lilted up all
mankind.
"The next step in .this preordained ad-
vancement was the voyage of Columbus and
the transfer of the best blood of the old
world to the shores of the new. A flood of
poor, hungry men struggled across the At-
lantic, and, on terms of perfect equality
and filled with the positive demands of
liberty, spread themselves over the virgin
land, kept void of inhabitants, therefor, by
land, kept void of iulia
the providence of God.
Then began a process of splendid devel-*
opment for which the previoifs experience of
mankind had afforded no parallel. The
genius of humanity cast away its chains
and stepped forward into the light with a
continent for an arena, surrounded by the
glorious effulgence of universal prosperity.
"All who stood before It went down, and
resistance was but a stepping-stone to
nobler heights of development. The dreams
of the poets and sages of antiquity were
realized, and a government of equal rights
and human brotherhood, enlightened by uni-
versal education, rose like a mountain be-
fore the gaze of the astonished world.
"From the Atlantic to the Mississippi tne
forests were brushed away and endless
gardens and magnificent cities covered the
laud. The bodies and the minds of men
were enlarged to nobler proportions and all
the magnificent qualitites of the human
soul shone forth with resplendent luster.
"But the width of the Atlantic had not
changed human nature. Into this paradise
the old serpent of injustice drove the toiler
himself. He took possession of the garden
and drove the toller from beneath his vine
and fig tree. He changed the lovely scene
into an abode of uuhappiness, filled with
lamentations.
"The census of 1890 showed that one-
fourth of the dwellers in this land of free
homes had become tenants. While popula-
tion had in ten years increased 25 per cent
and wealth 45 per cent the mortgaged in-
debtedness on the homes of the people had,
in the period, advanced 156 per cent. The
farm-owning families, despite the homestead
law, had increased but 2'/> per cent, whi e
the tenants of laud had increased 40*£ per
cent.
"It was shown by that census that 4,047
families owned $12,000,000,000 of the wealth
of the whole country. In other words, three
one hundredths of 1 per cent of the peo-
ple owned one-fifth of all the wealth, 9 per
cent of the people owned 71 per cent of the
entire property of the country, while the
remaining 91 per cent owned but 29 per cent
of the wealth. Bankruptcy, suicide and in-
sanity had grown beyond all precedent.
"These facts struck terror to the souls of
nil thinking people.
"They asked themselves, If less than 100
years of national life, starting from an
ideal condition of equality, under the no.
blest institutions ever known to man, had
produced these terrible results, what would
another hundred years bring forth?
"They perceived that the great American
people were rapidly becoming landless,
homeless and hopeless.
"They beheld the birth of that product
of modern times — the corporation — an artifi-
cial creature, unknown to the ancient
world; a demon possessed of all the at-
tributes of God's creatures, but clothed
with immortal life and boundless power.
They saw it rise in a few generations from
nothingness to the control of congress, sta f
legislatures, municipal governments, the
avenues of public opinion, and all the in-
strumentalities of production and transpor-
tation. They saw it a government within
the government — levying taxes and collect-
ing revenues never voted by the peop:e.
They saw it lessening the opportunities (,f
labor; driving the farmer from his larrn ana
the workman from his bench, concentrating
the earth's surface in the hands of a 1'ew
and consigning the toiler to change and
starvation.
"Thoughtful men looked down the vista
of the future and saw the people returning
to the awful conditions of pre-Christian
slavery. To the evil rich Christ had be-
come but a name; the horrid image of
Moloch displaced the gentle Nazarene in
the hearts of the rulers of the world.
"Appalled by the revelations of the census
of 189U the friends of mankind assembled in
this city of Cincinnati on the 19th and 20th
days of May, 1891, in a convention of 1,41s
delegates from thirty-two states, and with
vast enthusiasm and complete unanimity
established the people's party of the Uniteu
States.
"They adjourned until Feb. 22, 1892, to
meet at St. Louis, a great assemblage, rep-
resenting all the extensive labor organiza-
tions of farmers and mechanics, including
those which met in St. Louis in 1889, the
Ocala conference of 1890 and the Omaha
assemblage of the Northwestern alliance
held in 1891.
"It was there unanimously regolved that
a new party should be established; the
call was. issued for a delegate convention,
to be held at Omaha on the 4th of July,
1892, to place in nomination candidates for
the ^presidency and vice-presidency.
"The slowly gathering discontent, ex-
tending over many years, found voice at
last in the preamble and resolutions of that
convention.
"They built the new party on the broad-
est and grandest principles. They declared
that 'wealth belongs to him that creates it,'
and that 'every dollar taken from industry
without an equivalent is robbery.' They an-
nounced that 'the interests of rural and
civic labor are the same, their enemies
identical.'
"They declared:
" 'The conditions that surround us justify
our co-operation; we meet in the midst of n
nation brought to the verge of moral, polit-
ical and material ruin. Corruption domi-
nates the ballot box. the legislatures, the
congress, and touches even the ermine of
the bench. The people are demoralized, in
most of the states have been compelled to
isolate the voters at the polling places in
order to prevent universal intimidation or
bribery. The newspapers are subsidized,
public opinion silenced, business prostrated,
our homes covered with mortgages, labor
impoverished and the land concentrating ir:
the hands of capitalists. The urban work,
men are denied the right of organization for
self -protection; imported, pauperized labor
beats down their wages; a hireling standing
army, unrecognized by our laws, is estab-
lished to shoot them down, and they are
rapidly degenerating into European condi-
tions. The fruits of the toil of millions
are boldly stolen to build up colossal for-
tunes, unprecedented in the history of
mankind, and the possessors of these in
turn despise the republic and endanger
liberty. From the prolific womb of gov-

ernmental injustice we breed two great
classes — tramps and millionaires.'
"They denounced both the old parties as
equally responsible for the terrible condi-
tion of the people. The platform said:
" 'We have witnessed for more than a
quarter of a century the struggles of the
great parties for power and plunder, while
grievous wrongs have been inflicted upon a
suffering people. We charge that the con-
trolling influences dominating both these
parties have permitted the existing dread-
ful conditions to develop without serious
efforts to prevent or restrain them. Neither
do they promise us any substantial reform.
They have agreed to ignore in the coming
campaign every issue but one. They pro-
pose to drown the outcries of a plundered
people with the uproar of a sham battle
over the tariff, so that capitalists, corpora-
tions, national banks, rings, trusts, watered
stocks, the demonetization of silver and the
oppression of the usurers may all be lost
sight of. They propose t<> sacrifice our
homes and children on the altar of Mam-
mon, to destroy the multitude in order to
secure corruption funds from the million-
aires.'
"Upon this platform, with its familiar
concluding demands, we went before the
people, and after four months' campaign
we polled 1,055.424 votes and carried four
states and partially two more, receiving
altogether twenty-two electoral votes. The
democrats won in the contest and elected
Grove* Cleveland president by 277 electoral
votes, against 145 for Benjamin Harrison.
In the campaign both the old parties kept
up their 'sham battle' over the tariff and
studiously ignored the great issues raised
by the people's party.
"In 1893 the Omaha platform received
striking corroboration from the terrible
panic which fell upon the country, sweeping
ti'.vay banks and business and plunging mil-
lions into bankruptcy. Mr. Cleveland's
panacea of free trade did not relieve the
sufferings of the people. In the elections of
1894 the democratic party was generally re-
pudiated, and it became apparent that that
venerable organization must find new issues
or be borne to its everlasting resting place.
There did not seem to be a state it was
certain to carry in 1896.
"The people's party vote in 1894 and 1895
rose to nearly 2,000,000. and everything in-
dicated its speedy national triumph.
"In this emergency the democratic party
saw that it had no resource but to steal one
of the principles of the despised populists,
and after having persistently opposed the
remonetization of silver in congress and de-
feating a dozen bills looking to that end it
changed front in the twinkling of an eye,
and in the Chicago convention of 1896, in a
prearranged, theatrical scene of great up-
roar and enthusiasm, moved to the front as
the devoted and lifelong champion of that
which it had ever opposed.
"Having stolen one of the principles of
our platform it became necessary to steal
our votes and break up our organization.
Hence, when the people's party national
c I'liveni ion met, a tremendous pressure was
brought to bear upon it to do what no
political party had ever done in the hls-
IOT.V of our country— to wit, to nominate
the candidates of another party for presi-
dent and vice-president and stop in mid-
career of its own tremendous growth and
tie itself to the doubtful fortunes and still
more doubtful sincerity of a rival organiza-
tion.
"In vain it was urged upon the conven-
tion that if we maintained our separate
existence and nominated our own candi-
dates we could still unite with any other
party in support of a joint electoral ticket
in every state.
"If this plan had been adopted the repub-
lican party would surely nave been de-
feated, but democracy insisted that the
battle must be won under their banner.
Hence our noble candidate for vice-presl-
aent was ostracized and pushed aside in
behalf of a man whose every principle was
in fundamental antagonism to the creed of
our party, and our organization with its
twenty-two electoral votes and nearly
2,000,000 voters was ignored and spat upon.
Our nomination was thrown back in our
faces by a telegram from the gentleman we
had nominated; we were denied all recog-
nition. The telegram of declination was not
produced, but our votes were carefully ex-
ploited in tb* election which followed.
"By an extraordinary calamity a gentle-
man was made chairman of our national
committee and Commander-in-chief of our
forces who had achieved success .by a com-
bination with republicans, and who was
ready to equalize things by sacrificing our
party to accomplish another unholy union
with the democrats.
He preached disintegration and demoral-
ization, just as Benedict Arnold stipulated
for the scattering of the American forces
that the British might the more readily
overthrow the young republic. Mr. Butler
taught our forces the first duty of a sol-
dier was to break ranks and go over to the
enemy. It was as if Gen. Miles had issued
orders to our troops at Santiago to tear
down the American flag and merge into the
Spaniards— because we all thought alike on
the question of God and the immortality of
the soul.
"All efforts to chain the boundless sub-
tlety of this cunning man had been in vain.
As late as Aug. 25, 1898, in a speech at
Denver, Col., despite all previous com-
pacts and promises, he urged all friends of
free silver to act together, and he denounced
those who were 'trying to divide its friends
because they differed on other questions.'
And yet he well knew that the republicans
and prohibitionists of Colorado and all the
western states were also in favor of free
silver, and that there was just as much
reason to unite with them as with the
democrats. He also knew that where a
smaller and weaker party unites with a
greater and stronger it is the inevitable
union of the lion and the lamb. He knew
that the experiment had nearly obliterated
the people's party in several states and
that he was leading the rest of those who
trusted him into the abyss where reposed
the moldering bones of the greenback
party. He well knew that the free-silver
Issue was but one of many planks of the
people's party, and while desirable in it-
self could not bring the people relief if
corporate power were to continue to rule the
nation and plunder unchecked the industry
of the land.
"Our chief battle Is not against the de
monetlzation of one metal for the benefit
of another, but against the chaining of
the world's progress to the car wheels of a
prehistoric superstition in the shape of both
metals. The growth of population and the
happiness of mankind are thus made con

tingent upon accidental discoveries of two
intrinsically worthless metals. The whole
adoration of gold and silver is but a sur-
vival of pagan barbarism, more deadly in
its effects than slavery, polygamy and
witchcraft.
"While it is conceded that money is a
governmental measure of value, and con-
sists not in its material but in the stamp of
the nation, the whole world is to-day held
In check by a system of gold barter, while
enterprise languishes, industry suffers and

nizing that a terrible emergency requires
desperate remedies and that We must ap-
peal to the highest qualities of the human
mind and heart, and not in degrading 'dick-
ers' and trades of scrambling politicians,
we cast aside all precedents and go directly
to the people. We commence anew the
campaign of education which gave us, in
the first two years of our existence, nearly
2,000,000 votes.
"We believe the soul is bigger than the
pocketbook. We address ourselves to the
reason of men and their love of country.
We have nothing but kind words for demo-
crats and republicans, individually. We
beg them to join our ranks and help us
fight the battles of mankind. For those
who, eager for. immediate results, have
innocently left us and merged with the
enemy and helped on our demoralization,
we extend the open arms of invitation and
reconciliation. We ask them for -the sake
of the great truths which fired their hearts
in 1892 to be with us in 1898 and forever
after. If the birth of our party was de-
manded by events six years ago circum-
stances clamor in thunder tones for its
continuance to-day. The whole experiment
of self-government is at stake. We are
about to add to our population as many
millions of alien and strange people as our
whole voting force amounts to, and no one
can say how soon these will be dragged to
the ballot box by the money power to bury
our liberties in universal ruin.
"By all the dreadful past of the world,
by the memory of all the millions who
ended lives of miserable enslavement in
degraded graves, by the teachings and sac-
rifices of the martyred Christ, by the suffer-
ings of the great revolution that made us a
nation, by all the hopes of humanity all
over this round globe, we implore our fel-
low-citizens to unite with us in one grand
effort to build up a reform party that will
liberate mankind.
"Our hearts go out to the wretched and
oppressed of the whole world, and if placed
in power in this country we shall try to so
act as to help all mankind.
PLATFORM OF THE REVIVIFIED PEO-
PLE'S PARTY.
"As a fundamental step to the preserva-
tion of our endangered liberties we demand
that the reign of corruption shall cease in
our legislative halls by the establishment
of direct legislation. We must shorten the
plow handles of government by bringing the
legislator closer to his principals— so close
that no lobbyist can intrude between them.
Through the initiative and referendum all
moral and political questions can be sub-
mitted to a fair and impartial vote of the
people and if adopted by a majority of the
voters become the law of the land.
"While we demand that if either gold or
silver is to be used as money both snail be
so used, we insist that the best currency
this country ever possessed was the full
legal tender greenback of the civil war.
And we look forward with hope to the day
when gold shall be relegated to the arts of
the country and the human family possess,
free of tribute to bankers, a governmental
full legal measure of value, made of paper,
that will expand side by side with the
growth of wealth and population. Then,
and only then, will the people realize the
full benefits of civilization and the world
be made a garden of delights for mankind.
"We call attention to the public school
system and the postal service as exempli-
fications of a beneficent state socialism
which our people would only relinquish with
their lives. And we demand that the carry-
ing of messages written with pen and ink
be amplified to embrace messages written
by electricity, and that the train of cars
which carries our letters be owned by the
government to carry those who wrote the
letters. No other reforms will avail much
if corporations are permitted to say how
much they shall take from the producers
and how much they will leave them.
This is taxation without representa-
tion in its worst form. It is the disgrace
of our republic that foreign despotisms
have defended the right of the people in
these particulars, while corruption has
made self-government a helpless failure in
this land. We believe in the collective
ownership of those means of production and
distribution which the people may elect,
such as railways, telegraphs,
coal mines, etc.
"We are opposed to individuals or cor-
porations fastening themselves, like vam-
pires, on the people, and sucking their sub-
stance, and we demand that whatever can
be better done by government for the en-
richment of the many shall not be turned.
over to individuals for the aggrandizement
of the few.
"Hence we Insist that banks have no
more right to create our money than thev
would have to organize our army or pasc
our laws.
"We reaffirm the fundamental principles
of the Omaha platform and declare it to
be the immutable creed of our party, coeval
with it in birth and filled with the spirit
that launched it on its grand career. It
must not be whittled away or traded off for
offices. The man who proposes to do this
is an enemy of mankind; he would sell the
kingdom of heaven for a mess of pottage.
"In order to maintain the liberties of the
people we must preserve their homes, and
we therefore demand laws in the several
states exempting the homes of the people
from taxation absolutely in a sum not less
than $2,000, and a personal property exemp-
tion of not less than $300 to each head of a
family. To make up for this reduction of
taxation we favor an income, inheritance
and other like taxes.
" 'With malice toward none, with charity
to all, with devotion to the right as God
gives us to see the right,' we commit our
cause to the hearts and consciences of the
American people."
After the adoption of the address and
platform the convention proceeded to the
nomination of candidates for the presidency
and vice-presidency. Upon a call of the
states Mr. Rahilly of Minnesota presented
the name of Ignatius Donnelly; Dr. Fay of
the same state and Mr. Burton of Illinois
seconded the nomination. Florida yielding

to Michigan, Mr. Fogg of the latter state
presented the name of Wharton Barker of
Pennsylvania, Mr. McDaniel of Georgia and
Mr. Rogan of Tennessee seconding the
nomination. Mr. Houghowatt of Missouri
presented the name of Frank Burkitt of
Mississippi, but he declined. Nominations
being declared closed, the roll was called by
states and resulted in 128 4-5 votes for
Barker and 117 1-5 votes for Donnelly,
whereupon Mr. Donnelly moved to make
the nomination unanimous, and Wharton
Barker of Pennsylvania was declared to be
the nominee of the convention for president
of the United States.
The nomination of a candidate for vice-
president being In order, Dr. Fay of Minne-
sota presented the name of Ignatius Don-
nelly, whereupon the nomination was made
by acclamation.
Capt. Burkitt of Mississippi moved the
following resolutions, which were adopted:
"Whereas, The sole object of this conven-
tion has been and is to secure to the rans
and file of the people's party an absolute
certainty that a straight populist ticket on
a straight populist platform should be pre-
sented to them in 1900: therefore,
"Resolved, That the ticket nominated

of the populists of the United States.
"Resolved, second, That the referendum
vote above referred to shall be taken in
accordance with the plan provided in the
report of the committee on plan of organi-
zation made to this convention."
CANADIAN-AMERICAN JOINT COMMISSION.
For several years the perplexing ques-
tions and disputes between the Canadian
and United States governments have been
increasing both in number and gravity.
Some of these have at times assumed
threatening aspects, and it has only been
because both countries were determined to
prevent a clash that serious complications
have been avoided. With the purchase of
Alaska by the United States the right of
this government to protect the seals In the
waters of the North Pacific was so ener-
getically disputed both by Great Britain and
Canada that an open rupture was seriously
threatened, but after several attempts on
the part of our government to bring about a
peaceable solution of the question it is yet
an open one. The boundary line between
British Cohimbia and this country has been
given an additional importance by the dis-
covery of gold in the Klondike region and
serious disputes over the collection of cus-
toms duties.
On the 30th of May, 1898, negotiations
were begun in Washington with the view
to the drawing of a treaty which would
settle and dispose of all the questions In
controversy between the two governments.
The conference was conducted by Sir
Julian Pauncefote, British ambassador, and
Sir Louis H. Davies, Canadian minister of
marine and fisheries, representing Great
Britain and Canada, on the one hand, and
on the other ex-Secretary of State John W.
Foster and John A. Kasson, reciprocity
commissioner, representing the United
States. On the 25th of May an agreement
was concluded between them for the cre-
ation of a joint commission, the members
of which should be appointed by the execu-
tive branches of the two governments, to
negotiate a treaty adjusting, so far as pos-
sible, all subjects of controversy between
Canada and the United States. To defray
the expenses of the commissioners congress
appropriated the sum of $50,000 and Quebec
was designated as the place of meeting of
the commissioners.
The president appointed as representa-
tives or the Doited Stntos Charles W. Fair-
banks of Indiana, United States senator
(Uep.); Charles J. Faulkner of West Vir-
ginia, United States senator (Dem.); Nelson
Dingley of Maine, member of the house of
representatives (Uep.); John A. Kasson of
Iowa, United States reciprocity commis-
sioner (Rep.); John W. Foster of the Dis-
trict of Columbia (Rep.); T. Jefferson Cool-
idge of Massachusetts.
The queen appointed as representatives of
Great Britain and Canada Baron Hersehell,
lord high chancellor of England; Sir Wil-
frid Laurier, G. C. M. G., premier of
Canada; Sir Richard Cartwright, K. C. M.
G., Canadian minister of trade and com-
merce; Sir Louis Henry Davies, Canadian
minister of marine and fisheries; Sir James
T. Winter, premier of Newfoundland.
The first meeting of the joint commission
was at Quebec on the 21st of August, 1898.
The principal questions for the considera-
tion of the commission are as follows:
1. The questions in respect to fur seals In
Bering sea and the waters of the North Pa-
cific ocean.
2. Provisions In respect to fisheries off the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts and In the
waters of their common frontiers.
3. Provisions for the delimitation and es-
tablishment of the Alaska-Canadian bound-
ary by legal and scientific experts, if the
commission shall so decide, or otherwise.
4. Provisions for the transit of merchan-
dise in transportation to or from either
country, across intermediate territory of the
other, whether by laud or water, including
natural and artificial waterways and Inter-
mediate transit by sea.
5. Provisions relating to the transit of
merchandise from one country to be deliv-
ered at points in the other beyond the fron-
tier.
6. The question of the alien labor laws,
applicable to the subjects or citizens of the
United States and of Canada.
7. Mining rights of the citizens or sub-
jects of each country within the territory
of the other.
8. Such readjustment and concessions as
may be deemed mutually advantageous of
customs duties applicable in each country to
the products of the soil or industry of the
other upon the basis of reciprocal equiva-
lents.
9. A revision of the agreement of 1817 re-
specting naval vessels on the lakes.
10. Arrangements for the more complete
definition and marking of any part of the
frontier line by land or water -where the
same Is now so insufficiently defined or
marked as to be liable to dispute.
11. Provisions for the conveyance for trial
or punishment of persons in the lawful cus-
tody of the officers of one country through
the territory of the other.
12. Reciprocity in wrecking and salvage
rights.
Other questions relating to the United
States and Canada will undoubtedly be
brought before the commission as the work
goes forward. The findings will be sub-
mitted in the form of a treaty for the ap-
proval of the senate of the United States
and of Great Britain.

ships which have been formed under the
pressure of common danger, and. In many in-
stances, cemented by the blood of the parties,
the officers of the American army do hereby,
in the most solemn manner, associate, consti-
tute and combine themselves into one society
of friends, to endure as long as they shall en-
dure, or any of their eldest male posterity,
and in failure thereof the collateral branches
who may be judged worthy of becoming its
supporters and members."
Membership descends to the eldest lineal
male descendant, if judged worthy, and, in
failure of direct male descent, to male descend-
ants through intervening female descendants

tBrevet brigadier-general July 31. 1787.
jFrom the date of Gen. Washington's death, Dec. 14, 1799, to June 1, 1821. when Gen. Brown
assumed command, there was no general officer formally assigned to the permanent command
of the army. During this period direct control of the army (except at irregular intervals from
June, 1800, to January. 1812, when Gen. Wilkinson exercised command) was exercised by the sec-
retary of war. In the above list, however, the name of the senior officer of the army is given
for each period specified from December, 1799, to June. 1821.
§ Brevet lieutenant-general March 29, 1847. Gen. Scott left for Mexico Nov. 24, 1846. and from
that date to May 11, 18i9, he had no control of the army not included in his own command. He
was assigned to the command of the eastern division Aug. 31, 1848, and resumed command of
the army May 11, 1849.
I Gen. McClellan did not exercise command of the army after March 11, 1862. Gen. Halleck
assumed command July 23, is ;•>.

session of the Farmers' National Congress
of the United States of America.
At the Louisville session in 1883 Col.
Robert Beverly of Virginia was elected
president and Mr. Knott of Louisville, Ky.,
was chosen secretary. The same officers
presided at Nashville. Tenn., in 1884, but
there is no record of these or auy previous
meetings of this body.
Col. Robert Beverly served as president

UTTERANCES OF STATE CONVENTIONS.
193
SStteranccs o£ State Conbcnttons.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AT VARIOUS STATE CONVENTIONS ON NATIONAL
QUESTIONS.
THE FINANCES.
[Where parties are omitted no declaration was made.]
ALABAMA.
REPUBLICAN.
We hereby reaffirm our faith in and al-
legiance to the principles of the republican
party, and we do also indorse the national
platform of the party adopted in conven-
tion at St. Louis in 1896.
We specifically declare in favor of a pro-
tective tariff and for a sound and stable
currency, both of which give employment
alike to labor and capital and provide suf-
ficient revenue in time of peace to run the
government without a resort to bond issue,
which can only be justified in time of war.
DEMOCRATIC.
We do reaffirm OUT unalterable faith in
the principles declared in our platform,
adopted in 1896, and especially in the plat-
form adopted at Chicago in July of the
same year, not so much because those plat-
forms were declarations of our party, but
for the much higher reason that the prin-
ciples therein announced are the principles
upon which the democratic party and the
federal government are founded and be-
cause those principles are eternally true.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
Free coinage of gold and silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1, and that all other money
shall be issued by the federal government
and shall be a legal tender for all the pub-
lic and private dues and demands, with in-
hibition by law of uny contract that annuls
the full exactions of these requirements,
and with no one kind of money redeemable
in any other kind of money. We denounce
the effort to increase the national bonded
debt by placing the sovereign power in the
ridiculous position of borrowing what it
alone has power to create, and insist that
no bond should be issued until the volume
of currency shall reach $50 per capita.
ARKANSAS.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our adherence to the doctrine
of sound money, by which every dollar,
gold, silver or paper, put forth under the
sanction of the government shall be equal
to every other dollar.
DEMOCRATIC.
We indorse the national platform of the
democratic party adopted at Chicago, in its
national convention of 1896, and reaffirm the
principles therein enunciated.
CALIFORNIA.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our belief in the financial
plank of the republican national platform
of 1896 as being a sound and correct expo-
sition of the views of the republican party
upon the finances of the country. We com-
mend the efforts of the national administra-
tion to secure an international monetary
agreement, and urge that the attempt be
renewed whenever an opportunity to do so
shall be presented.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the national
platform of the democratic party adopted
at Chicago in 1896, and specifically declare
our adherence to the paramount purpose
enunciated in that platform, viz. : A return
to the constitutional system of free and un-
limited coinage of both gold and silver as
money at the ratio of 16 to 1, without wait-
ing for the consent of any other nation.
PROHIBITION.
The stability of our money system is based
upon the industry and sobriety of the citi-
zen. We believe that the currency problem
has been largely produced by the brewery
and distillery, which, through their agents,
the saloons, have drawn from the products
of our workingmen silver to be piled up use-
lessly in the banks, and, after being

foreign countries.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We demand the free and unrestricted coin-
age of silver and gold at the present legal
ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid
or consent of any other nation, and we are
unalterably opposed to the policy of the re-
publican party in demanding the retirement
of greenbacks and the surrender to national
banks of the sovereign power of issuing
money, and we especially denounce the
avowed attempt of said party to fasten upon
the country irrevocably and forever the
single gold standard.
We demand a national money, safe and
sound, issued by the general government
only, without the intervention of banks of
issue, to be full legal tender for all debts,
public and private; also a just, equitable
and efficient means of distribution direct to
the people through the lawful disburse-
ments of the government.
We demand that the volume of circulating
medium be speedily increased to an amount

and production.
We demand such legislation as will pre-
vent for the future the demonetization of
any kind of legal-tender money by private
contract.
We demand that the government, in pay-
ment of its obligations, shall use its option
as to the kind of money in which they are
to be paid, and we denounce the present and
preceding administrations for surrendering
this option to the holders of government ob-
ligations.
we demand that there shall be no further

of the country to the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of
16 to 1.
DEMOCRATIC.
The democratic party of the state of Colo-
rado reaffirms the fundamental principles of
the national democratic platform adopted in
Chicago In 1896. The free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of 16
to 1, and without the consent of any other
nation on earth, is «nd must remain the
paramount issue in American polities until
It is accomplished by national legislation.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
The silver republicans of the state of
Colorado again declare their allegiance to
the cause of bimetallism and demand the
restoration of silver to an equal plaue of
dignity and power with gold as a monetary
metal, and that the mints of the United
States be opened to the coinage of both sil-
ver and gold at the old ratio of 16 to 1,
without asking or awaiting the aid or con-
sent of any other nation. The gold standard
was Introduced to the financial systems of
the leading nations of the world twenty-five
years ago, without popular demand or
knowledge, and has proved a disastrous ex-
periment from that time to this. Numerous
international conventions have been called
for the sole purpose of getting rid of It,
and in every leading nation commissions al-
most without number appointed to investi-
gate the progressive depression in agricul-
ture and trade have reported in favor of its
abolition.
By depriving silver of its rights and by
vastly adding to the demand for gold the
par of exchange between gold-using and sil-
ver-using nations has been broken and trade
between them reduced to a game of hazard.
The increased necessity of attempting to do
more business with less money has involved
a ruinous fall of prices, with resulting dis-
couragement to enterprises, loss of employ-
ment to labor, multiplication of the bur-
dens of debt, taxes and fixed charges, the
growth of trusts and combines, and the ag-
grandizement of the hoarders as against the
producers of wealth.
We declare that the only practicable
method of restoring unvexed commercial re-
lations between gold-using and silver-using
countries, and of stopping the fall of prices
with its resultant wrongs, is to be found in
a return to the time-honored policy of bi-
metallism. The evil results of the gold-
standard experiment are not denied by its
advocates and they stand mute in the face
of a demand for a remedy. To enforce the
gold standard throughout the world is im-
possible. The present condition is intolera-
ble. The silver republican party and its al-
lies believe that the issue thus presented
is the most Important in American politics
and calls for settlement before all others.
We arraign the gold-standard republican
party for its attempted deception of the
American people by false pretenses in favor
of an international agreement for the free
coinage of silver, while actively engaged in
furthering the designs of the gold monopoly
and the bankers' trust, and we congratulate
the American people that in the present at-
titude of the administration and in the
declarations of the leading republican state
conventions of this year the nation at last
has frank avowal by that party of its abso-
lute surrender to the gold-standard system.
In the state of Colorado an especial effort
has been made to cloak and disguise the de-
signs of the supporters of the gold standard.
The history of these times is a woeful chap-
ter In the literature of political dissimula-
tion. It has within the last few days
reached Its appropriate culmination In an
act which has disgraced the state and may
well appall the citizenship of the country.
The advocates of tha gold standard in Colo-
rado have attempted the theft of a whole
political party. The unfortunate occurrence
at the opera house in Colorado Springs on
the morning of-Sept. 7 is a fit illustration of
the desperation of these men and of the ex-
tent to which they are willing to go In
furtherance of this scheme to thwart the
will of the silver republicans of Colorado.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The people's party of the state of Colorado
reaffirms its unswerving allegiance to tee
principles of the Omaha and St. Louis na-
tional platforms of 1892 and 1896. We be-
lieve the financial question to be the para-
mount question of the present campaign,
and we reiterate our demand for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at
the constitutional rate of 16 to 1.
CONNECTICUT.
REPUBLICAN.
After the experience of the last two years
it [the party] reaffirms its advocacy of th«
single standard of value, and that standard
gold, as the only financial policy which will
assure public confidence and national credit
at home and abroad, and which will pro-
mote such Investment of capital in the en-
terprise of commerce, trade and manufac-
ture as will insure a remunerative employ-
ment to the farmers, mechanics and wage-
earners of America.
It believes that the impossibility of effect-
ing an international agreement with the
leading commercial nations of the world for
the free coinage of silver has been clearly
demonstrated. It therefore favors such na-
tional monetary legislation as will main-
tain our paper and silver currency at a
parity with gold, by which the weight of a
gold dollar shall be established at the pres-
ent standard, and by which every paper and
silver dollar and every obligation for the
payment of money shall be redeemable in
gold, and such changes as in our present
monetary system as will furnish ample
credit facilities for conducting business in
all parts of the country, by the retirement
of government notes and the issue of bank
notes so secured as to insure their redemp-
tion in gold of the present standard of fine-
ness. To the accomplishment of these re-
sults it cordially asks the co-operation and
support of all gold democrats and patriotic
Americans, and earnestly invites them to
unite in the support of Its platform and
tickets.
DELAWARE.
REPUBLICAN.
Believing that the money of the govern-
ment should be the best in the world, and
that its value should be unquestioned every-
where, we demand the maintenance by the
government of the present gold standard of
the value of said money, that notes of the
government payable on demand shall only
be issued when gold to the amount of the
notes so issued is deposited with the na-
tional treasury for the redemption thereof.
And that the gold so deposited shall be pre-

served and kept in said treasury for the
sole purpose of redeeming such notes.
DEMOCRATIC.
The necessity of reforming our currency
system is admitted on all sides and con-
fessed by the president himself (who sent
a monetary commission abroad to consult
foreign governments and asked for the ap-
pointment of another monetary commission
to consider the question here at home); but,
notwithstanding the admitted evils of our
present complicated, illogical and injurious
currency system, the republican congress
and administration have taken no positive
and effective measure for reform.
GEORGIA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm and indorse the democratic
national platform as adopted at Chicago in
1896, and especially do we reiterate and
urge its declaration upon the question of
currency reform and the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at the exist-
ing ratio of 16 to 1, and without the aid or
consent of any other nation. We emphasize
the declaration of that platform and also of
the platform of the Georgia democracy of
the same year, in its unalterable opposition
to the single gold standard, and we hold
that events have justified the truth of every
charge made against it in the campaign of
1896.
IDAHO.

ILLINOIS.
| REPUBLICAN.
We invite the attention of the people of
Illinois to the fact that upon the surrender
by the republican party in 1893 of the affairs
of the nation to the democratic party there
was then and there closed an era of prosper-
ity unprecedented in this country; that fol-
lowing the inauguration of President Cleve-
land in 1893 new policies of administration
were adopted, old. tried and approved
policies of the republican party were re-
jected, and there followed an era of busi-
ness depression, commercial distress, finan-
cial embarrassment and injury to labor too
familiar to all, and of greater evil than had
occurred in this country since the close of
the war of the rebellion.
The republican party was restored to pow-
er in 1897 and was confronted with the prob-
lem of restoring to the people of the United
States a greater and more reasonable meas-
ure of prosperity. To do this President Mc-
Kinley convened congress in session in
eleven days after his inauguration. The re-
publicnn party was unable to see how
prosperity could be brought to the laborer
and to business by paying labor in d^preci-
ated currency and transacting business upon
such a basis. Properly to protect labor and
capital and maintain a safe and sound cur-
rency were made the cardinal doctrines of
the party. The revenues of the government,
which had run down until they were far
inadequate to meet the current expenses of
the government, gradually began to increase
until they reached a sum equal to the neces-
sary normal current requirements of the
government. Labor, which had been poorly
paid and much of it- idle, found employment
at increased wages. In short, the conditions
of the country were so developed that it
was possible that the mass of the people
might become more prosperous. To all of
which we point with most commendable
pride.
DEMOCRATIC.
Pledges the party to "the free and un-
limited coinage of both silver and gold at
the present established ratio of 16 to 1, by
independent action of the United States,
without waiting for the consent or permis-
sion of other nations."
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We are uncompromisingly oppos«d to
banks of issue under any name or title
whatsoever. Both of the old parties during
their entire existence have both favored and
fathered such labor-robbing institutions.
We are opposed to the issuance of govern-
ment treasury notes, promises to pay some
body in coin, because that somebody ever
has and ever will be the money changer, a
vile and useless creature who under and by
means of such a system of money has been
the overshadowing curse of all nations in
all ages of the world. Both of the old
parties by virtue of the influences that con-
trol them are eternally pledged to a re-
deemable currency, the one favoring a sin-
gle gold redeemer, the other favoring two
redeemers, silver and gold.
We stand unalterably opposed under any
circumstances to the issuance of interest-
bearing United States bonds. Both of the
old parties are wedded to the bond and
bondage method of raising money.
We believe it to be the right and the duty
of the people in their governmental capacity
to issue full legal-tender paper money in
such amounts as the industrial and business
needs of the country may from time to time
require, and that without any regard what-
ever to the wish or will of a panic-making,
business-paralyzing, labor-enslaving and
man-degrading money trust, composed of
money changers at home or abroad. Both
of the old parties during their entire exist-
ence have been wedded to the single or
double barreled specie basis system of
money, by means of which nothing but gold,
or gold and silver, can be a full legal tender
for debts within the United States.
We demand, as long as either of the
metals is used as money, the independent,
free and unlimited coinage of both silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1.

sure to debase our money and destroy our

disaster. We recognize the necessity of
comprehensive and enlightened money legis-
lation, and believe that the declaration in
the St. Louis national republican platform
for the maintenance of tne gold standard
and the parity of all our forms of money
should be given the vitality of public law
and the money of the American people
should be made, like all its institutions,
the best in the world.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm and emphasize the platform
adopted by the national democratic conven-
tion of 1896 at Chicago. We are in favor of
the free and unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver at the existing ratio of 16 to 1,
without the aid or consent of any other
nation.
We are unalterably opposed to the single
gold standard, and we specially protest
against the declared purpose of the present
republican secretary of the treasury of ap-
plying that policy more thoroughly. We be-
lieve that the practice of the treasury in
paying treasury notes in gold only. In viola-
tion of law, and in surrendering the option
of the government, reserved by the statute,
to pay in gold or silver, Is chiefly responsi-
ble for the great money depression now and
for so long a period existing in this country,
Is destructive of business enterprise, dan-
gerous to the public credit and the prosper-
ity of the people and a serious menace to
the national honor.
IOWA.
REPUBLICAN.
The experience of the last two years
has fully approved the gold-standard policy
of the republican party as declared by the
national convention of 1896. We recognize
the necessity of comprehensive and enlight-
ened monetary legislation. The monetary
standard of this country and the commer-
cial world is gold. The permanence of this
standard must be assured by congressional
legislation, giving to it the validity and
vitality of public law. All of the money
must be kept at a parity with gold. Our
money, like our institutions, should be main-
tained equal to the best in the world. On
this plank we invite the support of all
voters who desire honesty and stability in
business affairs and an immediate and per-
manent settlement of the question of the
standard of value.
DEMOCRATIC.
The democracy of Iowa discern in the
democratic national platform of 1896, which
we hereby heartily reaffirm, the best ex-
pression of democratic principles enunciated
since Thomas Jefferson wrote the declara-
tion of independence. The utterances of
that platform concerning finance explicitly
define our faith on the money question.
The free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1 we hold to
be indispensable to the financial, industrial
and political independence of our people,
and recognizing William J. Bryan as pre-
eminently the representative and exponent
of the platform we earnestly favor his
nomination for president of the United
States in 1900.
We impeach the republican party of crim-
inal insincerity in declaring for bimetallism
in its national platforms of 1888 and 1892
and for international bimetallism in 1896
and now in its latest state platform un-
equivocally committing itself to the gold
standard. And we denounce as being dan-
gerous to the public welfare the proposal
for legislation involving the conversion of
the 500,000,000 silver dollars and the $346,-
000,000 of greenbacks first into exclusive
fold obligations and next into an interest-
earing bonded debt and filling the vacuum
created by the obliteration of the nearly
$1,000,000,000 of legal-tender money with
non-legal-tender bank notes.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
We, the sliver republicans of Iowa, reaf-
firm our adherence to the Chicago platform
of 1896.
The legal ratio being 16 to 1, we demand
that there shall be no tinkering with that
ratio at the instance of those who are trying
to create confusion in the interest of the
gold standard.
We view with alarm the programme of
the so-called "Honest Honey league" to re-
tire all government currency by the sale of
interest-bearing bonds and the substitution
therefor of national bank notes, and declare
that the issuance of money is an act of
sovereignty and demand that all money of
every kind shall be issued by the general
government.
We believe a tax upon that part of an in-
come in excess of $4,000 is juster than to tax
the mortgage given to secure a debt. The
one asks prosperity to contribute, the other
tends to tax misfortune and add to its bur-
dens.
We denounce the shameless abandonment
by the so-called republicans of Iowa of the
declaration for the free coinage of silver in
the platform at St. Louis in 1896 and the
substitution therefor of the currency plank
of the gold democrats adopted at Indian-
apolis in that year.
In the language of the republican national
platform adopted at Minneapolis, we believe
"that the American people, by tradition
and interest, are bimetallists and demand
the use of both gold and silver as standard
money," and in the further language of a
platform adopted by the republicans of the
state of Iowa: "T\hereas, the silver dollar
was the unit of value from the foundation
of the federal government up to 1873, the
law under which its coinage was suspended
should be repealed at the earliest possible
day and silver made, with gold, a legal
tender for the payment of all debts, both
public and private."
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
For the purpose of meeting the obligations
of our contracts and for foreign commerce
the free and unlimited coinage of gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 meets our ap-
proval, but for internal commerce the truly
scientific money of the United States is a
money issued solely by the government,
without the intervention of corporations;
such a money should be full legal tender for
all debts, public and private, without any
exception or limitation; it should be re-
ceived by the government in payment of
all public dues. It should be issued
in volume commensurate with the busi-
ness demands of the country and In-
crease of population. It would stimulate
business instead of repressing It. It would
tend to stability of prices and wages, and
such a money, when not discredited by the
government Issuing it, would be beyond the
reach of speculators and would never be dis-
credited by a loyal people.

PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We are opposed to the labor-robbing in-

vate, and issued in sufficient volume to
transact the legitimate business of the
country.
The system of issuing bonds In every pub-
lic emergency is most dangerous and per-
nicious and should be strictly prohibited by
the American people.
As long as the barbaric system of metal
money is retained we demand that silver
should receive the same recognition as gold
and be admitted to our mints for free coin-
age In the ratio of 16 to 1.
MASSACHUSETTS.
REPUBLICAN.
We affirm anew our support of sound
money. True to the pledge of the St. Louis
platform, the president and congress, ear-
nestly and in good faith, strove to secure
an agreement of the great commercial na-
tions for the coinage of silver and gold at
an established ratio. The attempt has ut-
terly failed. All our currency must rest
upon the single gold standard. Every dollar
must be kept equal in value to the dollar
in gold. All government Indebtedness
which, by the terms of the contract, Is pay-
able in coin must be paid in gold at the
option of the creditor. We rejoice in the
defeat of the Teller resolution in a repub-
lican house of representatives as the repulse
of an attack upon the integrity of our mone-
tary system and the fair fame of the re-
public.
The time has come for the reform of our
currency In the direction of the ready con-
version of its different forms, each into the
other, and the redemption of all in gold
upon demand, with adequate provision for
the extension of banking facilities to the ag-
ricultural and sparsely settled portions of
the country, to the end that in those sections
capital may be responsive to the demands
of business and lower rates of interest pre-
vail.
DEMOCRATIC.
The democracy of Massachusetts indorses
and reaffirms with emphasis and profound
conviction the great and patriotic platform
of principles adopted by the party in na-
tional convention at Chicago in 1896. In
that year both political parties, confronted
by a disastrous depression in production and
general business, by the distress of labor,
y the condition of financial affairs and the
monetary system in particular, declared a
return to bimetallism to be a measure calcu-
lated to remedy the existing evils.
The republican party, impressed with the
importance of the restoration of bimetal-
lism, pledged itself to promote the same by
international agreement, while the demo-
cratic party declared that the United
States, with or without the co-operation of
other nations, should restore the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold.
After two years we find the promises of
the victorious party wholly unfulfilled. The
business of our country is, in reality, in a
more deplorable condition than in 1896. The
promised prosperity has not been realized;
nothing better than a specious local activity
has anywhere appeared. The general in-
dustrial and economic condition runs at
even a lower ebb than when the present
administration was put into power. The
wages of labor have been reduced. Thou-
sands of workingmen have been thrown out
of employment in the dead of winter; other
thousands are working on part time and are
struggling desperately with adverse condi-
tions.
The futile policy of the republican admin-
istration in sending a commission to Europe
to secure international bimetallism and at
the same time in thwarting and bringing to
naught every effort of that commission and
In making Its success impossible has re-
vealed the predetermined purpose of the re-
publican party to violate Us pledges to the
American people and to prevent bimetallism
in any form, not only in the United States,
but throughout the world.
The democratic party, with a conviction
and persistency which have now boon con-
firmed by the observation and experience of
two additional years of disaster, again de-
mands the return to bimetallism by restor-
ing silver and gold to coinage at the ratio
which was maintained during so many pros-

UNION SILVER PARTT.
We. the representatives of the union sil-

bled, do heartily declare our loyalty and un-
swerving fidelity to the principles of bimet-
allism and demand the restoration of silver
to equal coinage privilege with gold at the
ratio of 16 of silver to 1 of gold, and that all
money, whether gold, silver or paper, shall
be issued by the government direct, without
the aid or intervention of national banks or
banking corporations, and that such money
shall be a legal tender for all dues and de-
mands, public and private.
Whereas, The present administration has
proved its utter Inability to bring about In-
ternational bimetallism, so called, and Sec-
retary Gage and President McKinley have
by numerous utterances committed the re-
publican party to the principles of the single
gold standard as enunciated and set forth
by the Indianapolis Sound Money league,
so called, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we invite all friends of bi-
metallism to stand with us in a united ef-
fort to preserve both gold and silver as the
basic currency of the nation at the present
ratio.
Resolved, That we view with alarm the
rapidity with which the gold-standard pol-
icy inaugurated by Grover Cleveland and
championed by Hanna, Gage and McKinley
is bonding the nation, and we point to the
lamentable fact that since the adoption of
said policy in 1893 $665,000.000 in bonds have
been Issued. We point to this as proof of
the claim of bimetallists that the only way
to maintain the single gold standard is to
continue and even increase the national
debt.

We, the representatives of the people's

this 22d day of June, 1898, in the city of
Grand Rapids, hereby reaffirm our adher-

Omaha convention, as reaffirmed at St.
Louis and in Bay City in 1896.
We demand that all money, whether gold,
silver or paper, shall be issued by the gov-

all debts, public and private.
We demand the free and unlimited coin-

PEOPLE'S (MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD).
We demand a national money, safe and

loyalty of the whole people of the United
States, on the whole property therein and
on the stability of our republic, in which we
have unbounded confidence under the intelli-
gent direction of the producers of wealth —
the plow holders — but no confidence while It
remains under the dominating influence of
the money power — the bond holders — and
that such money be of paper, issued by the
national government only, without the in-
tervention of banking corporations, and
be made a full legal tender for all debts, In-
cluding taxes and duties to the United
States, and that it shall not be made re-
deemable in metallic coin.
We demand the free ana unrestricted
coinage of silver and gold at the legal ratio
of 16 to 1, regardless of foreign nations,
so to increase and cheapen the volume of
metallic money, as compared with all other
forms of property and wages, that the gov-
ernment and people may obtain the means
at less sacrifice to meet and cancel their
metallic coin obligations according to the
letter of the contract; and to prevent such
exigency for the future we demand that all
public and private contracts be henceforth
made, under legal enactment, payable in
lawful money of the United States, and that
metallic coin contracts be forbidden.

material interests of the American people
require the maintenance of the present gold
standard. We declare our unalterable op-
position to the free coinage of silver and
all schemes looking to the debasement of
the currency and the repudiation of debts.
We condemn the continual agitation of free
silver as tending to debauch the public
morals and jeopardize the prosperity of
the country, the highest interests of which
demand at all times a sound and stable
financial system.
DEMOCRATIC.
The democrats of Minnesota in convention
assembled hereby reaffirm the Chicago na-
tional democratic platform and pledge to it
their unswerving support until its principles
shall have become the established govern-
mental policy.
We recall with pride the courage and gal-
lant leadership of our late presidential
candidate, William J. Bryan. His devotion
to the principles of free government and his
splendid elucidation of those principles in

the campaign entitle him to the lasting
gratitude of tho people.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our attachment and loyalty
to the principles of Washington, Jefferson,
Lincoln and Bryan.
We reaffirm and indorse the principles
laid down in the platform of the national
republican convention which met in Min-
neapolis in 1892, which declared as follows:
"The American people, from tradition and
interest, favor bimetallism. The republican
party demands the use of both gold and
silver as standard money."
We denounce and repudiate the humilia-
ting and degenerate doctrine of the national
republican platform, adopted at St. Louis
in 1896, dictated by the gold monopoly forces
of the world and the great trusts and cor-
porations which contributed so liberally to
its campaign fund, to the effect that the
gold standard must be maintained in this
country until foreign nations consent to our
use of silver as standard money.
MISSOURI.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our faith in the declaration
of principles of the republican party of 1896,
and in this connection we call the attention
of the people to the fact that the national
administration, under the control and with
the support of the republican party, has
faithfully redeemed every pledge in that
platform; has restored the public credit,
dispelled panic and depression, revived in-
dustry and trade, reopened the factories
and workshops of the nation, renewed and
restored enterprise and production, and
given full protection to American citizens
and American interests at home and abroad,
inspired the American people with renewed
hope and new and honorable aspirations,
and has again demonstrated that the repub-
lican party is the party of progress, entitled
to the confidence of the people and furnish-
ing in its administration of public affairs
the surest proof of the stability and success
of free institutions.
DEMOCRATIC.
The democrats of Missouri relndorse the
national platform adopted at Chicago in
1896, and especially do we renew our de-
mand for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver and gold at the present legal ratio of
16 to 1, without waiting for the consent of
any other nation, and this demand we espe-
cially emphasize at this time by reasserting
our belief that the money question is and
will remain the most important of all po-
litical questions affecting the prosperity and
happiness of our people until it is finally
settled by the restoration of bimetallic coin-
age in accordance with our demand. And
we declare our unswerving confidence in Col.
William J. Bryan as the leading exponent
of the foregoing principles.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
Resolved, That we favor the issue of full
legal-tender paper money to pay the ex-
penses of the Spanish-American war, and
that we are unalterably opposed to the is-
sue of interest-bearing bonds either in time
of war or peace.
MONTANA.
REPUBLICAN.
We Indorse without reservation or excep-
tion the declaration of principles adopted
by the last national republican convention
as promising wise policies of public action
and bringing to the country a prosperity
which we have not heretofore known.
DEMOCRATIC.
The democrats of Montana in state con-
vention assembled reaffirm their belief in the
great principles of Jeffersonian democracy
as expressed in the Chicago platform. They
declare that the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 is the para-
mount issue of American politics to-day.
They enthusiastically and loyally accept
and support the leadership of William J.
Bryan, whose record meets their entire ap-
probation and admiration.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our belief in and devotion to
the principle of bimetallism as expressed in
the declaration for the free coinage of silver
and gold at a ratio of 16 to 1 by the Inde-
pendent action of the United States, and
that we firmly believe the only method
through which this desirable result can be
attained and the country placed on a basis
of permanent prosperity is the policy of a
fusion of the silver forces so clearly and
ably outlined by William J. Bryan and
other national leaders in the movement for
the restoration of silver as money of ulti-
mate redemption.
NEBRASKA.
REPUBLICAN.
We favor the payment of our soldiers and
sailors in the same money paid bondholders.
We reaffirm unswerving allegiance to the
principles enunciated in the republican na-
tional platform of 1896. We are in favor of
the maintenance of the present gold stand-
ard and unalterably opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are proud to belong to a party that
acknowledges as its chieftain and leader the
Hon. W. J. Bryan, the people's champion,
whom arm is ever lifted in defense of their
rights and in redressing their wrongs wheth-
er in peace or in war.
We renew our allegiance to the principles
taught by Thomas Jefferson and courageous-
ly defended by Andrew Jackson, and we de-
mand that the great political problems of
to-day be solved by the application of these
principles to the present conditions; and,
therefore, reaffirm our adherence to the
platform of 1896, adopted by the democratic
party in national convention assembled.
And that the paramount issue of the cam-
paign of 1900 ought and will be the restora-
tion of our monetary system to its position
prior to 1873, the free and unlimited coinage
of the two metals at the ratio of 16 to 1,
and believe that no permanent prosperity
will reward the efforts of our producers
until such a law is enacted.
We believe that all money issued by the
government, whether gold, silver or paper,
should be made a full legal tender for all
debts, public and private, and that no cit-
izen should be permitted to demonetize by
contract that which the government makes
money by law.
We further declare that we are opposed
to banks of igsue, and demand that all
money, whether gold, silver or paper, shall
be issued by the national government.
While always willing and ready to furnish

for the support of the nation in her hour of
peril every dollar of our property and every
possible assistance, both in money and men,
the democratic party is opposed to the is-
suance of interest-bearing bonds except as
a last resort, but is in favor of the issu-
ance of full legal-tender money, and we hold
the recent issue of $200,000,000 of bonds un-
necessary under the circumstances and
therefore condemn it.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm the principles set forth in the
party platform at our last state convention,
and we take no backward step on the
money question. We are in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of both gold and sil-
ver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1,
without waiting for the consent of any other
nation on earth.
Maintaining and supporting republican
principles upon the question of gold and sil-
ver as money as advocated by the old repub-
lican party until its repudiation of those
principles at St. Louis in 1896, we renew
our loyalty to the principles thus repudiated
at the behest of the money power, and de-
clare, as formerly declared by the old re-
publican party and its honored leaders and
accepted as good republican doctrine, as
well as a doctrine as old as the national
constitution itself, that we are in favor of
the use of both gold and silver as money,
and we condemn the policy of the gold-
standard republican administration in its
efforts to demonetize silver.
Silver is the money of the constitution;
indeed, the money of the American people
anterior to the constitution, which the great
organic law recognized as quite independent
of its own existence. The people are too
intelligent to permit values to be measured
in gold alone. This would make money
dearer and property cheaper. We are for
the largest use of silver in the currency of
the country. We would not dishonor it; we
would give it equal credit and honor with
gold; we would make no discrimination; we
would utilize both metals and discredit
neither; we want the double standard. Sil-
ver, until a few years ago, was money the
wide world over. Silver was one of the
standard coins of the United States from
the. birth of independence until demone-
tization crept into the statute of congress,
either by fraud or mistake.
NEVADA.
REPUBLICAN.
Resolved, That we reiterate our faith in
and devotion to the great republican prin-
ciples of bimetallism, protection and reci-
procity. We are firmly convinced that the
final adjustment of the money question must
come by and through the republican party.
The party is pledged to bimetallism. We
therefore declare that the settlement of this
important question may safely be left to
the great republican party of the nation.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We reiterate with emphasis that the
financial question is the paramount issue
and demand the free and unrestricted coin-
age of silver and gold at the American ratio
of 16 to 1.
We denounce In unmeasured terms the ac-
tion of the republican party and the demo-
cratic party in advocating the redemption
of legal tenders in gold or in coin, and we
demand that all United States money,
whether of gold, silver or paper, be made a
full legal tender without any exception
clause whatever.
The recent bond issue was one of the most
atrocious financial acts of the nineteenth
century, and the indecent haste with which
the administration issued the bonds when
the treasury was already overflowing with
lawful money proves conclusively that Wall
street and the bondholders have an unfair
and corrupt Influence over the treasury de-
partment.
The so-called gold reserve is a disguise to
our financial power and boundless resources,
and we demand that it be abolished.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
REPUBLICAN.
The republicans of New Hampshire reaf-
firm the St. Louis platform, especially in-
dorsing the gold standard as therein pro-
vided, and congratulate the people upon the
speedy fulfillment of its important pledges.
DEMOCRATIC.
We, the democrats of New Hampshire, re-
affirm the principles of the democratic party
as announced in the national conventions
since the foundation of the party. We em-
phatically declare our admiration tor and
confidence in the wisdom and patriotism of
our great leader, William J. Bryan.
NEW JERSEY.
REPUBLICAN.
We Indorse the national platform of 1896
and "specifically declare our undying oppo-
sition to any proposition to debase the na-
tional currency, a proposition so repugnant
that the voters of New Jersey buried it un-
der an unprecedented majority of 87,000
when they declared in favor of the repre-
sentatives of national honor and honesty,
McKinley and Hobart."
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We demand a national currency, safe,
sound and flexible, issued by general gov-
ernment only, a full legal tender for all
debts, public and private, and that without
the use of banking corporations, a just,
equitable and efficient means of distribu-
tion direct to the people at a tax not to ex-
ceed 2 per cent per annum, to be provided
as set forth in the sub-treasury plan of tfc»
Farmers' alliance, or a better system; also
by payments in discharge of its obligations
for public improvements.
We demand that the amount of circula-
ting medium be speedily increased to not
less than $50 per capita.
NEW YORK.
REPUBLICAN.
We renew our allegiance to the doctrines
of the St. Louis platform. We continue to
condemn and resist the democratic policies
declared at Chicago. The organized demo-
cratic party of the nation adheres to these
policies of free silver and free trade, and
denies the right of the courts and of the
government to protect persons and property
from violence. On the coming 8th of No-
vember we are to elect not only our state
officers, but also representatives in congress
and members of our state legislature. That

legislature, in its turn, will elect a United
States senator to succeed the present demo-
cratic senator from this state.
The election of republican members of
congress and of a republican state legisla-
ture will mean that New York will stand
for the maintenance of the gold standard
and for such a revision of the currency laws
as will guarantee to the labor of the coun-
try that every promise to pay a dollar, is-
sued under the authority of the United
States, shall be of absolute and equal value
with a gold dollar always ami everywhere.
NORTH CAROLINA.
REPUBLICAN.
The republican party of North Carolina
renews its allegiance to the principles and
policies set forth In the national repub-
lican platform adopted at St. Louis In 1896;
and we point with pride and enthusiasm to
the triumphant vindication of those prin-
ciples and policies under the wise and
splendid administration of William McKin-
ley.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the republican party for Its
defeat of the Teller resolutions declaring
our national bonds payable in silver as well
as gold, and denounce it for its determined
purpose of more thoroughly fastening the
single gold standard upon our people, and
for its avowed hostility to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver, as well as gold,
at the ratio of 16 to 1, Into full legal-tender
money.
We denounce the republican party for Its
determination to issue bonds at this time,
and we denounce the republican war tax
bill which lately passed the house of repre-
sentatives as unjust, unequal in its burdens,
unnecessary and vexatious, and we demand
that the silver seignoirage be coined, that
an income tax be levied, and that the sec-
retary of the treasury be authorized to is-
sue the necessary amount of full legal-ten-
der greenbacks, or United States treasury
notes, in order to meet the expenses of the
war with Spain and to supply the revenue
deficit under the Dlngley law.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
We believe that all money demands should
be payable in the lawful money of the
United States without preference or dis-
crimination, and therefore favor the pas-
sage by the general assembly of a law to
prohibit the taking or giving of gold notes,
bonds and mortgages in this state, and to
make all the money demands solvable in
any kind of lawful money of the United
States.
We condemn the present national admin-
istration for its efforts to fasten upon the
people and future generations the burden of
interest-bearing bonds and for indorsing and
carrying out the infamous bond and monop-
oly policy of the preceding administration
of Grover Cleveland.
We commend the action of the populists,
silver republicans and silver democrats In
congress for their wise, brave and patriotic
course in solidly co-operating to strike out
the bond provision of the pending war rev-
enue bill and to substitute therefor an issue
of greenbacks and the coinage of the silver
seigniorage to carry on the war.
NORTH DAKOTA.
REPUBLICAN.
Money being an instrument of internation-
al concern, we are unalterably opposed to
the independent free coinage of silver. The
currency of the American people is now and
should continue to be the best in the world,
and the parity of all forms of money should
be maintained by wise and conservative
laws. We favor the use of both gold and
silver as the standard of all commercial
countries, and indorse the efforts of the re-
publican administration to promote the
policy of bimetallism under agreement with
the civilized nations of the world.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm our belief in and adherence
to the great principles of the democratic
party as laid down in the democratic plat-
form at the Chicago national convention of
1896.
OHIO.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm the declaration of facts and
principles adopted by the eleventh national
republican convention at St. Louis June 17,
1896.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm the platform of principles
adopted at Chicago by the democrats at
their convention in July, 1896. And we par-
ticularly reaffirm and indorse the financial
plank therein, declaring for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver and gold at the
ratio of 16 to 1, independent of any and all
other nations.
NATIONAL LIBERTY PARTY.
All money should be issued by the general
government only, and without the interven-
tion of any private citizen, corporation or
banking institution. It should be based
upon the wealth, stability and integrity of
the nation. It should be a full legal tender
for all debts, public and private, and should
be of sufficient volume to meet the demands
of the legitimate business interests of the
country. For the purpose of honestly liqui-
dating our outstanding coin obligations* we
favor the free and unlimited coinage of both
silver and gold, at a ratio of 16 to 1, without
consulting any other nation. As a partial
remedy for our financial troubles we declare
for postal savings banks.
OREGON.
REPUBLICAN.
We are in favor of the maintenance of the
present gold standard; we are unqualifiedly
opposed to the free coinage of silver and to
all other schemes looking to the debasement
of the currency and the repudiation of debt.
We believe that the best money in the world
is none too good to be assured by the gov-
ernment to the laborer as the fruit of his
toil and to the farmer as the price of his
crop. We condemn the continued agitation
for free silver as calculated to jeopardize
the prosperity of the country and to shake
the confidence of the people in the mainte-
nance of a wise financial policy; we particu-
larly condemn as unpatriotic the efforts of
the free-silver agitators to array class
against clasti and section against section ;
we declare that the Interests of all classes

FUSION.
(Democrats, People's Party and Silver Re-
publicans.)
We demand the free and unrestricted coin-
age of silver and gold at the present ratio
of 16 to 1, without waiting for the consent
of foreign nations, and we are unalterably
opposed to the policy of the present repub-
lican administration in demanding the re-
tirement of greenbacks and the turning over
of the money-making power of the govern-
ment to the national banks, as presented by
the bill drawn by the republican secretary
of the treasury and indorsed by President
McKinley, and we especially denounce the
avowed attempt by said bill to fasten the
country irrevocably and forever to the sin-
gle gold standard.
We demand a national money, safe and
sound, issued by the general government
only, without the Intervention of banks of
issue, to be a full legal tender for all
debts, public and private; also a just, equi-
table and efficient means of distribution di-
rect to the people through the lawful dis-
bursement of the government.
We demand that the volume of circulating
medium be speedily increased to an amount
sufficient to meet the demands of the busi-
ness and population of this country and to
restore the Just level of prices of labor and
production.
We favor such legislation as will prevent
for the future the demonetization of any
kind of legal-tender money by private con-
tract.
We demand that the government, in pay-
ment of its obligations, shall use its option
as to the kind of lawful money in which
they are to be paid, and we denounce the
present and preceding administrations for
surrendering this option to the holders of
government obligations.
We demand that there shall be no further
issue of United States interest-bearing
bonds.
PENNSYLVANIA.
REPUBLICAN.
The republican party of Pennsylvania
ratifies and reaffirms the doctrines enun-
ciated in the republican national platform
adopted at St. Louis In 1896 and approved by
the people at the last presidential election.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The people's party strenuously opposes
any issue of bonds for the purpose of de-
fraying the expenditure incurred in the im-
pending war with Spain, believing that the
cost of the said war can and by right ought
to be met by the government issue of non-
interest-bearing treasury notes and that the
said notes be full legal tender.
RHODE ISLAND.
REPUBLICAN.
Since it is the avowed purpose of all the
political opponents of the republican party
to unite In a crusade against the existing
gold standard and in favor of a depreciated
silver currency, with free coinage, we de-
clare the same to be a serious menace to our
continued prosperity and should lead to the
active political co-operation of all those who
believe In the necessity of a stable currency
and of securing to it, by proper legislation,
equivalence of purchasing power at all
times with the best money of the commer-
cial world.
We reiterate our desire for such a stable
«nd honest currency. We are inflexibly op-
posed to the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, and believe the continued agitation
of the silver question, so called, to be un-
patriotic and destructive to the best inter-
ests of industry and commerce. The exist-
ing gold standard is the measure of value
adopted by the nations with which the
United States has the most important com-
mercial relations, and the very suggestion
of a departure from it inflicts injury to the
credit of a nation whose honor should be un-
questioned at home and abroad.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
REPUBLICAN.
The republican party of South Dakota re-
news its unqualified allegiance to the funda-
mental principles of republicanism, protec-
tion and sound money. We are opposed to
the free and unlimited coinage of silver and
unhesitatingly indorse the gold standard of
money under which the nation has made
such unsurpassed strides of progress.
DEMOCRATIC.
We demand the free and unlimited coin-
age of silver by the federal government at
the ratio of 16 to 1, without asking for the
consent or waiting for the aid of any other
nation on earth.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm and indorse the national plat
form of the silver republicans adopted at
St. Louis in July, 189.6, In its entirety, and
declare it the purpose of the silver repub-
licans of South Dakota to unite at all times
with other political reform parties which
favor just and equitable principles, such as
were put forth by the national conventions
of the people's and democratic parties in
1896 and elucidated from the Atlantic to the
Pacific by that matchless leader, William J.
Bryan.
We commend the brave and patriotic posi-
tion of the silver republicans, populists and
democratic senators and congressmen who
have for the last two years so nobly stood
by the principles enunciated in the various
national platforms and pledge to them our
political and moral support until success
shall be attained in this, the people's gov-
ernment.
We most emphatically demand the re-
monetization of silver upon the basis of 16
to 1, without waiting for the consent of
any other nation, and that the government
issue full legal-tender money to meet the
necessities and demands of the people, with-
out the intervention of national banks or
other private corporations. We are uncom-
promisingly opposed to the issue of interest-
bearing bonds as advocated and adopted by
the present republican administration, but
believe it is the duty and function of gov-
ernment to issue full legal-tender money
and control the circulation thereof, and that
a legal-tender non-interest-bearing treasury
note, countersigned by the government offi-
cials, is as honest money as any interest-
bearing bond signed by the same authority
and its payment guaranteed by the same
people.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The people's party of South Dakota tri-
umphantly reaffirms its allegiance to the
fundamental principles enunciated in the
Omaha and St. Lcuis platforms.

REPUBLICAN.
As to the national issues, we heartily In-
dorse the platform adopted by the national
republican convention held at St. Louis,
1896, and reaffirm our allegiance to the prin-
ciples therein declared.
DEMOCRATIC.
We hereby indorse the enunciation of
principles contained In the democratic plat-
form adopted by the national democratic
convention at Chicago in 1886, it being a
true expression of the democratic creed.
We especially reaffirm our demand for the
restitution of the money of the constitution
by a law providing for the free and unlim-
ited coinage of gold and silver at a ratio of
16 to 1, without waiting for the consent of
any other nation.
We oppose the increase of the public debt
by the issuance of interest-bearing bonds
and condemn the action of the present re-
publican administration in the issuance of
such bonds instead of treasury warrants,
which warrants would fnrnUh a circulating
medium and would be taxable, while inter-
est-bearing bonds are not taxable and will
not circulate as currency.
We demand that all obligations of the
United States shall be discharged according
to the terms of the contract in either gold
or silver at the option of the government
and not at the option of the creditor.
UTAH.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the cause of
the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1, independent of the action of any other
nation, as fully set out in our first Utah
state convention platform, upon which we
elected the present governor and other state
officers.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm the principles declared in the
democratic platform adopted in Chicago for
1896. The imperative necessity of the use
of both gold and silver for the purposes of
money throughout the world is generally
conceded. The use of both is essential to
the welfare and hupplness of mankind. The
re-establishment of such use is of such vital
importance that no ordinary difficulty
should be permitted to stand in the way of
its attainment. It is generally acknowl-
edged that without both gold and silver
people must sink in the scale of happiness
ana civilization. They must langufih In
poverty. They must continue to struggle in
vain to better their condition. They must
toil on without even the hope of adequate
reward. Yet it is said that for this pervad-
ing, flagrant wrong there is and can be no
remedy without the aid and consent of those
who are and will remain deaf to all appeals
for relief. It is true that at this time there
Is a right which cannot be made to prevail,
a wrong for which there is no remedy.
Have the maxims of our race proved false?
There is a remedy. It is declared in the
national platform of the democratic party,
to which we now declare our steadfast de-
votion. That remedy is the enactment of a
providing for the free and unlimited coinage
of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to
1, without waiting for the aid or consent of
other nations, such consent being notori-
ously impossible to obtain; and that such
coin be legal tender in payment of all debts,
both public and private.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
Believing that this nation Is capable of
passing and enforcing its own laws, we de-
mand a law opening the mints to the free
and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at
the present ratio of 16 to 1.
We demand that the money of this coun-
try be speedily increased by the Issuing of
legal-tender notes to an amount sufficient to
transact the business of the country upfm a
cash basis, and that all money, gold, silver
or paper, be made a full legal tender for all
debts, thereby making "every dollar as good
as every other dollar."
TEXAS.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the prin-
ciples laid down by the St. Louis platform
in 1896, and we particularly announce that
we are unreservedly for sound money.
We heartily indorse the action and course
of President McKinley and the administra-
tion since their inauguration. They have
inspired universal confidence, restored nor-
mal conditions in American industrial life
and developed an industrial prosperity of
unexampled proportions.
DEMOCRATIC.
We indorse in every particular the plat-
form adopted by the national democratic
convention of Chicago in 1896, but we espe-
cially commend and approve the declara-
tions in favor of an Income tax, against the
power of banks to issue money, for a tariff
for revenue that will operate without dis-
crimination against classes or sections and
for the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, with full
legal-tender qualities and without reference
to the action of other governments.
We declare that the present war excite-
ment cannot and shall not obscure the
money question, upon which the fight in
1900 will be chiefly made, and that the in-
terest now being taken in the 2.000,000 peo-
ple of Cuba and Puerto Rico must not de-
tract from the vital interest of the 76,000,000
of our own people.
VERMONT.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our loyalty to the cardinal
principles of the republican party as enun-
ciated in the platform of the national con-
vention at St. Louis in 1896, especially to
the doctrines of protection and sound money,
and our -confidence is unshaken that this
party, which represents the mind and heart
and conscience of the American people, will
wisely settle the tremendous questions of
American policy as they confront us.
DEMOCRATIC.
We, the democrats of Vermont, declare
our adherence to the principles of democracy

formulated by Jefferson, exemplified by a
long line of democratic statesmen since his
time and crystallized in the platform adopt-
ed by the democratic national convention at
Chicago in 1896.
We lift aloft the unstained banner of the
Vermont democracy and emphasize our un-
swerving loyalty to the money of the con-
stitution, the money of Washington, Jeffer-
son, Jackson and the long line of illustrious
American statesmen; the money that
brought prosperity and contentment to this
country for eighty years is the money that
will restore prosperity to business and a
suffering people. The man who calmly de-
liberates is the man who will be impressed
with the fact that the money standard of
the Rothschilds, Morgans, Belmonts, Goulds
and Sages is the standard these money bar-
ons have purposely designed for their selfish
upbuilding, and not to confer blessings upon
the toiling and producing masses who plain-
ly note their downward progress.
The Vermont democracy takes especial
pride in expressing its undiminished ad-
miration of and confidence in William J.
Bryan, whose unanswerable logic so clearly
voices the principles and benefits of that

WASHINGTON.
REPUBLICAN.
We favor the existing gold standard and
oppose the free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
DEMOCRATIC.
The act of 1873 demonetizing silver was
surreptitious, passed without the approval
or knowledge of the American people. This
Infamous act demonetizing silver has caused
the steady appreciation of gold, a corre-
sponding fall in the prices of commodities
produced by the people, a heavy Increase in
the burden of all debts, public and private,
the enrichment of the money-lending class,
the paralysis of industry and the impover-
ishment of the people.
We therefore renew our demand for the
free and unlimited coinage of both silver
and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to
1, without waiting for the aid or consent of
any other nation. We demand that stand-
ard silver dollars shall be full legal tender,
equally with gold, for all debts, public and
private, and we favor such legislation as
will prevent for the future the demonetiza-
tion of any kind of legal-tender money by
private contract.
FUSION.
We demand the re-establishment of bi-
metallism by return to the free and un-
limited coinage of both gold and silver into
money at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1,
without waiting for the action of any other
nation.
We demand that our money shall be issued
by the government only, without the inter-
vention of banks of issue, as full legal ren-
der for all debts, public and private; that
the volume of the circulating medium shall
be sufficient to meet the requirements of
the country, for the purpose of restoring
and maintaining a just level of prices for
labor and commodities, to the realization of
all of which we pledge our representatives
in congress.
We demand that there shall be no further
issue of United States interest-bearing
bonds.
WISCONSIN.
REPUBLICAN.
We believe that the declaration In the St.
Louis national republican platform for the
maintenance of the gold standard and the
parity of our forms of money should be en-
acted into law, and the money of the Amer-
ican people should be made and kept, like
all Its Institutions, the best In the world.
DEMOCRATIC.
We affirm our allegiance to the demo-
cratic principles, justice, liberty and equal-
ity, upon which our institutions are founded
and which the democratic party has advo-
cated from Jefferson's time to our own, ai.cl
we declare our firm devotion to demo-
cratic principles as enunciated in the Chi-
cago platform of 1896.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The issue of all money by the government
directly to the people in connection with
government savings banks. We hold that
the issue is not so much between gold and
silver, but whether the money of the coun-
try shall be controlled by the government or
by private banking corporations.
WYOMING.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm the declaration of facts and
principles adopted by the eleventh national
republican convention at St. Louis, July 17,
1896.
The financial policy of the republican
party having brought prosperity to the en-
tire country and given us a place among the
nations of the earth and enabled us to con-
duct successfully a foreign war, we there-
fore unhesitatingly reaffirm the financial
plank of the platform as expressed by the
national convention at St. Louis.
THE WAR AND FOREIGN POLICY.
ALABAMA.
DEMOCRATIC.
Standing "to arms" as we do to-day, we
pledge our lives and sacred honor to the
cause of our country, for its defense, for
the maintenance of its honor and prestige
and for its support in any conflict with a
foreign foe.
ARKANSAS.
REPUBLICAN.
To the army and navy of the restored
union we send greetings and express our
entire appreciation of the patriotic and he-
roic feeling which has prompted their en-
listment, our sincere sympathy with their
trials and sacrifices, our deep and profound
interest in their movements, our resolve to
honor and applaud their services and our
anxiety to welcome their triumphant return.

tributing will ever hold them in grateful re-
membrance.

DEMOCRATIC.
We recognize the Monroe doctrine as a
cardinal teuet of the democratic party and a
part of the public policy of the national
government and favor its strict observance.
Believing that the war now being waged
by the United States with Spain is for the
purpose of maintaining the national honor
and to assist an oppressed people struggling
for liberty, we note with pride the prompt-
ness with which all sections of our common
country have responded to the call for men
and means for its prosecution, and pledge
the democratic party of Arkansas to an in-
dorsement of all necessary measures to
bring it to a successful, speedy and tri-
umphant conclusion.
CALIFORNIA.
REPUBLICAN.
The national welfare demands the reten-
tion of the island of Puerto Rico and other
West Indian islands coming under our conr
trol, and of the Philippines, in order to per-
mit the expansion of American trade, and in
case of the latter to safeguard the com-
merce already secured in the orient. In
the event of the retention of this foreign
territory It should be the policy of the
United States to extend to It the benefit of
free commercial intercourse with all sec-
tions of the American union, and to that
end the provision of the constitution requir-
ing that all duties, imposts and excises
shall be uniform throughout the United
States should be rigidly enforced.

our new acquisitions on the same terms

States.
We rejoice in the acquisition of Hawaii
and Puerto Rico and favor the retention by
our country of every foot of soil that has
beon conquered by the victorious hosts of
our great republic.
DEMOCRATIC.
We indorse the action of congress in de-
claring war against the government of
Spain for the purpose of securing liberty to
the people of Cuba and of putting an end
to tne long-continued oppression and gross
misgovernrnent under which they have sui-
te red.
We congratulate the people of the United
States upon the speedy and successful ter-
mination of the war for the accomplishment
of this purpose. We rejoice in the success
that has come to the American arms on land
and sea and glory in the bravery and skill
of the soldiers and sailors of our country.
The sublime courage and fortitude displayed
by our land and naval forces in achieving
the victories of Manila and Santiago have
shown to the world the value of free insti-
tutions, universal suffrage and general pub-
lic education in developing the highest
qualities of character, intelligence and
courage, making our volunteer soldiers,
trained in the schools of the state militia
organizations, more than equal to those who
compose the great standing armies of Eu-
rope.

While we do not favor an aggressive pol-
icy of territorial expansion, we are op-
posed to the surrender to Spain of any of
the territory that has been acquired by
American valor and the expenditure of the

eignty in Cuba and to the imposition of any
portion thereof upon the people of that is-

PROHIBITION.
We favor the hearty support of the gov-
ernment in the present war and pledge our-
selves to this end.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The war against Spain, compelled by the
sentiments of the people of the United
States in vindication of honor, duty, hu-
manity and liberty, should be prosecuted
with overwhelming vigor until the ends for
which it was undertaken have been fully
and satisfactorily achieved.
COLORADO.
REPUBLICAN.
We commend the patriotism, skill and
ability displayed by the present administra-
tion during the trying times of the late war
with Spain, and are proud of the achieve-
ments of our army and navy in the victories
over the enemy, especially the bravery and
patriotism displayed by the Colorado volun-
teers in the Philippines and the daring
courage of the 7th infantry at Santiago.
We condemn as un-American and un-
patriotic the position of the democrats and
others in congress who spoke and voted
against the annexation of Hawaii.
We are unqualifiedly in favor of keeping
forever in place the American flag wherever
it has been unfurled to the breeze, whether
as a result of conquest or peaceable ac-
quirement.
DEMOCRATIC.
The democratic party heartily approves of
the recent war with Spain and justly shares
in the glories of its results. We favor the
independence of Cuba and the retention by
this government of the other Spanish West
India possessions and the control of all
other Spanish territories taken by the
American forces in the war Just closed.
To the soldiers and sailors of the army
and navy and to their gallant commanders
on land and on sea we tender our
sincere and fervent gratitude. Their
achievements have added to the lustc
of our arms, to the glory and power
of the nation and to the limits of our
domain. They have destroyed every lin-
gering vestige of sectionalism and have ce
mented the union forever with the love of
all for our common country. A grateful
country will bind up their wounds, sustain

pendent and keep from want their widows
and orphans.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the country upon the
conclusion of a war whose purpose was the
highest that ever impelled a nation to take
up arms, and whose record of glory on land
and sea has never been surpassed in history.
We declare that the war was waged in def-
erence to the demand of the liberty-loving
people of this country, whose sympathies
•were aroused by the suffering of the people
of Cuba under the barbarous misgovern-
ment of Spain; that It was an American
war, and that the attempt manifested In
some quarters to claim it as the property
of a certain political party In this country
is not creditable to the patriotism of those
who make it.
We declare our belief in the mission of
the people of the United States as the evan-
gel of liberty and self-government to the
nations of the world, and in their ability to
discharge all of the responsibilities which
the fortunes of war have thrust upon them.
Wherever the flag waves It shall be a sym-
bol of civilized freedom and to all men who
gaze upon its folds a guaranty of the in-
alienable rights of life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
Recognizing that the recent war with
Spain for the liberation of Cuba has
thrown upon our nation the responsibility
for the protection of millions of people de-
based by centuries of Inhumanity; there-
fore, recognizing the injustice Involved in
the return of these people to the conditions
from which the United States has been the
instrument of their release, we favor the
retention and government of these Islands
over which our flag now floats and where
our heroic dead lie buried, until such a
time as a majority of the people of these
respective countries shall express a desire
to establish a government of their own.
CONNECTICUT.
REPUBLICAN.
It [the party] approves the annexation
of Hawaii and is in favor of acquiring and
controlling such additional lands, naval sta-
tions and harbors as will enable us at all
times to give the most complete protection
to our growing commerce with Asia and
the countries of the far east.
DEMOCRATIC.
We call attention to the fact that while a
successful war in the cause of a common
people adds fresh glory to their flag the
management of the various war depart-
ments has chilled our exultation and
brought home to us a sense of shame.
The American sailor and soldier have done
their full duty, but the administration of
President McKinley has been utterly in-
competent to discharge the obligations
which the management of the war imposed.
Incompetency and venality in places of high
trust have brought disgrace upon the ad-
ministration and aroused the ire of an in-
dignant people.
DELAWARE.
REPUBLICAN.
We believe In the maintenance of an army
and navy sufficient to assert and maintain
the rights of our nation and all its citizens
against the encroachments of other nations.
We believe that our seacoasts should be
thoroughly fortified in the best manner.
We believe that the United States should
keep all territory either surrendered to it or
captured by its forces in the late war with
Spain.
We congratulate the nation on the annex-
ation of the Hawaiian islands. While we
congratulate the nation upon the completion
of the war with Spain, we demand that
there shall be a vigorous, thorough and
honest investigation by a competent and
impartial tribunal of the alleged disgrace-
ful and incompetent management of our
war department, whereby the lives of many
of our brave soldiers and sailors were need-
lessly sacrificed, and whereby the men who
so cheerfully went forth to fight the na-
tion's battles were without cause com-
pelled to suffer great distress, discomfort,
misery, starvation, sickness and death, and
that the guilty parties, whoever they may
be. be properly punished.
We believe that the Nicaragua canal
should be built and controlled by the United
States government.
DEMOCRATIC.
We heartily congratulate ourselves and
the country on the happy ending of the war
with Spain, and, now that its declared end
has been accomplished, we demand that the
country as quickly as possible be restored
to the conditions of peace and that the bur-
dens of war taxation be lessened.
FLORIDA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We rejoice In the brilliant successes at-
tained by the American sailors and soldiers
in the present war with Spain, and glory
in the fact that the last vestige of sectional
feeling has been swept away forever as we
have assembled on the call of the nation as
one people to meet a foreign foe, and that
henceforth we shall know no north, no
south, no east, no west, but shoulder to
shoulder, with the star-spangled banner
waving over us and the love of country in-
spiring us, we shall onward march to the
high destiny among the people of the earth
for which the God of nations intended us.
We condemn the policy of insular ter-
ritorial expansion upon which the adminis-
tration at Washington has embarked as
unwise, un-American, unjust to the masses
of our people, and especially to the labor-
ing and producing classes, and as dan-
gerous to our free institutions; and we
pledge the democracy of the state of Florida
to the opposition of the same. Whereas
the present war with Spain was inaugurated
for the declared purpose of aiding the Cu-
ban patriots in their struggle for liberty
and in the efforts to establish a free gov-
ernment, and we have solemnly announced
to the world that we have no intention to
annex the island of Cuba to the United
States; and whereas war at best is un-
Christianllke, demoralizing in its tendencies
and a drain upon all the resources of the
country; therefore, when the declared ob-
jects of the present war shall be accom-
plished it will be the duty of the govern-
ment to grant peace on terms just to this
government and honorable to our people,
and in the adjustment of such terms of

peace Cuba should be left free by this gov-
ernment and untrammeled by our army and
navy to establish, by the free action of her
people, a free and independent government
of Its own; the democrats of Florida will
support the administration in all its efforts
to conduct the present war to an early,
honorable and satisfactory close, and it
would be an act of bad faith on the part
of our government and a blot upon our
civilization for us, as a result, either di-
rectly or indirectly, of the war, to annex
the island of Cuba to the United States, and
thus to rob the Cubans of that free and in-
dependent government for which they have
fought so long.
GEORGIA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We affirm that the cause for which the
United States is at present engaged in war
with Spain is just and righteous. Without
regard tc political division, all loyal and
patriotic citizens of the republic should
unite in the support of the common cause
represented by the flag, and it is with pride
that we point to the record of the demo-
cratic party, made through its senators and
representatives, in having been the first to
urge in behalf of freedom and humanity ac-
tive measures looking to the suppression of
Spanish oppression in the West Indies.
There is cause for universal congratulation
in the fact that the patriotic uprising of
the whole people has obliterated sectional-
ism from the politics of our country, and
while the people of the south unite with
those of the north in cordial enthusiasm
over the marvelous victory of Dewey in an-
nihilating Spain's Asiatic fleet it is grati-
fying to observe that those of the north are
no less cordial in bestowing praise and com-
mendation upon the heroic deeds of the two
brave young southerners — Hagley and Hob-
son — who, with their Intrepid comrades,
have won distinction which will render
their names immortal and add new luster to
the American navy.
As to the incidental questions that will
arise as the result of the war, we believe
that the people can safely be trusted to dis-
pose of every such question in a manner
which will be in keeping with the spirit of
our institutions and in harmony with the
principles and record of the democratic
party. This country should first address its
undivided attention and throw its full en-
ergy to securing decisive results in the war
with Spain, rather than engage in political
controversy over issues which are yet un-
shaped, and which, in the nature of things,
cannot be intelligently discussed until the
termination of the war.
IDAHO.
REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the nation upon the suc-
cessful issue of the war with Spain, pros-
ecuted under the direction of William Mc-
Kinley. commander-iu-chief of the army an<l
navy of the United States, with the loyal
support of the brave volunteers on both land
and sea. We declare our hearty approval
of the terms demanded of Spain by our
president as the conditions of restored
peace. And we declare our full and com-
plete confidence in the patriotism and abil-
ity of the republican administration to
make such just and wise provisions touch-
ing the government and control of our new-
ly acquired territory as will best accord
with the policy of our government and the
best interests of all the people. And we
declare our full faith and confidence in the
patriotism and wisdom of the republican
administration so to conduct the affairs of
the nation, both at home and abroad, that
the prosperity of our people and the honor
of our flag will reach the highest mark to
which our institutions entitle us to aspire.
DEMOCRATIC.
We declare our unfaltering allegiance to
the Monroe doctrine and are strenuously op-
posed to the annexation of Cuba, believing
that the inhabitants of that island should
be given the opportunity of self-govtiiment.
We also advocate the retention of all ter-
ritory acquired by American valor in the
war waged for humanity, always provided
the people to be governed yield their con-
sent.
We pronounce the war with Spain justi-
fied by every consideration of justice and
sound national policy. We congratulate the
democratic minority in congress for its
firm stand in demanding the redress of our
national honor and indorse the declaration
of war on Spain and glory in its results.
We rejoice in the glorious deeds of valor
of our soldiers and sailors and greatly de-
plore the fatalities and injuries which have
so far resulted, and we favor the adoption
of the most liberal policy toward the sick
and wounded and the families of the slain.
ILLINOIS.
REPUBLICAN.
We believe that the present war with
Spain is a righteous and just cause. We
rejoice that the American people are a unit
in sustaining the government and that the
spirit of patriotism has swept away the last
vestige of sectional feeling.
We pledge to the president the earnest
support of the state of Illinois in the prose-
cution of the war to a triumphant close.
The United States should hold all the pos-
sessions it has conquered and may conquer
from Spain until the Spanish government
has agreed and given security that it will
pay the United States an indemnity for this
affair, which might have been avoided had
Spain been humane; also that the United
States hold such possessions in the con-
quered territory as shall be advantageous to
its interests in times of war and peace.
DEMOCRATIC.
We reaffirm the Monroe doctrine and again
pledge ourselves to abide by the advice of
Washington, "to keep ourselves free from
entangling alliances with foreign nations."

REPUBLICAN.
While we sincerely deplore the necessity
of war, we believe the president and con-
gress acted wisely in demanding the com-

from the island of Cuba and in proceeding
to enforce the demand with the military and
naval power of the government. And now
that our army and navy, through their
splendid achievements, have blessed our na-

illustrious and immortal, and adding pres-
tige and glory, limited only by civilization,
to our great republic, the occasion Is one of
supreme gratitude to the great Ituler of na-
tions.
DEMOCRATIC.
We congratulate the country on the uni-
versal patriotic uprising which has swept
away the last vestige of sectionalism and
revealed us to the world as a united people.
We rejoice in the heroic deeds of Dewey,
Bagley, Hobson and their brave comrades,
which have added new luster to the Amer-
ican name. We demand, now as heretofore,
the most vigorous prosecution of the war
until it shall have ended in vindication of
the national honor, the absolute relinquish-
ment by Spain of possession or control of
any part of the western hemisphere, and
the formal acknowledgment by that king-
dom of the independence of the Cuban re-
public. We favor the prompt recognition by
the United States of such Independence as
a war measure and as an act of justice to
a brave people struggling for freedom. We
urge the immediate increase of the volun-
teer forces of our army and navy to any ex-
tent necessary to assure speedy and decisive
results, and the appropriation of all the
funds requisite for the adequate equipment
and support and for the comfort of our
gallant soldiers and sailors in armed con-
flict against the public enemy. " The supreme
duty of the hour is to relieve the perishing
Tictims of Spanish cruelty and secure the
complete triumph of the national arms.
(V'hen this shall have been accomplished the
Justice and wisdom of the American people
may be safely trusted to deal with all ques-
tions which may grow out of existing com-
plications, in such a way as best to pro-
mote the objects for which this republic was
founded.
IOWA.
REPUBLICAN.
We favor the upbuilding of the American
merchant marine, the speedy construction
of the Nicaragua canal, the securing of
naval and coaling stations and the protec-
tion of American rights in every quarter
of the world with an adequate navy.
The republican party, under whose policies
and administration prosperity has been re-
stored and a foreign war successfully con-
ducted, has earned the right to be further
intrusted with the task of solving the ter-
ritorial, colonial and commercial problems
that have resulted from the war.
It is due to the cause of humanity and
civilization, for which the war with Spain
was fought, that no people who have in
consequence thereof been freed from op-
pression shall, with the consent or through
the indifference of the United States, be re-
turned to such oppression or permitted to
lapse into barbarism.
DEMOCRATIC.
The war with Spain was necessary and
undertaken in the interest of humanity, and
we commend the action of the democrats
in congress who voted ample supplies for
prosecuting it to a successful conclusion.
We demand that the solemn declarations
as to the purposes of the war be faithfully
carried out by the government. We glory in
the valor of the soldiers and sailors of the
army and navy and rejoice in their unex-
ampled victory on land and sea. The con-
gress provided amply in money to furnish
them supplies and the best of care when
they became disabled by wounds or disease,
and we denounce the criminal incompetency
and negligence of the agents of the govern-
ment who have caused them to suffer and
die In camp and hospitals for the lack of
care which humanity and justice demand.
And we insist upon a speedy, searching and
impartial investigation to the end that the
guilty may be exposed and fittingly pun-
ished.
We express our unbounded admiration of
the patriotic, self-sacrificing courage of the
soldiers who enlisted but were not sent to
the front, as well as those who faced shot
and shell and deadly disease on foreign soil,
and we hold that all are equally deserving
of the love and gratitude of the republic.
While recognizing the importance and de-
manding the maintenance of an effective
navy, we hold that militarism is a menace
to free Institutions and we oppose any
policy which will supply a reason or a pre-
text for supporting a large standing army In
time of peace.
The immortal Washington, for profound
reasons, wisely warned his countrymen
against entangling foreign alliances. The
admonition is as pertinent as when It was
uttered a century ago. Therefore, while
sincerely desiring friendly relations with all
nations, we earnestly protest against alli-
ance with any.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
We are not in favor of adding to our

While we believe In arbitration as the

and we demand that the same be conducted
upon that theory. To this end we therefore
Insist upon a vigorous prosecution and
speedy termination of the war and the es-
tablishment of peace and local government
upon the island.
We cannot consent that this war, com-
menced for the relief of suffering humanity
there, shall be made a pretext for the main-
tenance of a large standing army, or for
territorial aggrandizement, or the cultiva-
tion of a vainglorious military spirit with
attendant burdens of increased taxation,

will command and compel the respect of the
world. We believe that the necessities of
war have supplemented the arguments of
peace and that the Nicaragua canal should
be built as speedily as possible. \Ve believe
that the Hawaiian islands should be an-
nexed and we urge our representatives in
congress to support the resolution providing
for their immediate acquisition.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are in favor of a vigorous prosecution
of the present war with Spain, and see in
it not only the passing of Cuba from des-
potism to freedom but for ourselves a more
advanced place among the nations of the
world and a broader commercial horizon.
The American navy should be greatly en-
larged and In its wake our merchant marine,
under new tariff laws, should open the
world's markets to American buyers and
sellers, and rights should be reserved in all
territory conquered during the war to facil-
itate and protect such extended commercial
interests, but with no view to territorial
aggrandizement nor the establishment of a
colonial policy for this government. We
congratulate our state that she was the first
to respond to the president's call with her
full quota of volunteers, and assure our
Kansas soldiers that In this righteous bat-
tle for human rights they will be followed
through the march, the bivouac and the bat-
tlefield by the hopes and prayers of their
fellow-citizens at home.

In behalf of liberty and humanity we are

was instituted.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The present war with Spain, If conducted
for the liberation of the Cuban people, Is
just and humane, but it should not be pro-

money-lenders.
MASSACHUSETTS.
REPUBLICAN.
The war with Spain, undertaken by the
United States from the highest motives,
has been justified in the Intelligence and
compassion of mankind. Our brilliant vic-
tories have brought us solemn obligations
and grave responsibilities, for we cannot, In
the Interest of honor, humanity or civiliza-
tion, return to Spain the peoples whom we
have freed from hor tyranny.
The people of Massachusetts do not pro-
pose to abandon the ancient doctrines of re-
publican liberty, upon which the common-
wealth and the country are builded, and by
which the American people have grown to
be without a rival among the nations In
wealth, power and happiness. What they
enjoy themselves they desire shall be en-
joyed by all other peoples, especially by
those whom the valor of our soldiers and
sailors have wrested from Spain, and whose
destiny must now be determined by the
United States alone.
While we would not Interfere with the
diplomatic negotiations now in progress, we
desire that they be so conducted 'and ter-
minated as to secure to the Philippine Is-
lands and to Cuba in amplest measure the
blessings of liberty and self-government.
The building of the Nicaragua canal, con-
trolled and operated by the United States,
is now Imperative. Our possessions In the
Caribbean sea, the annexation of Hawaii,
our position in the Philippine Islands and
the notable voyage of the Oregon have
made its necessity clear to all. We confi-
dently look to congress for the early under-
taking of this work and its completion with
all reasonable dispatch.
DEMOCRATIC.
We note with alarm and indignation the
perversion of the powers and purposes of
our republic from its true end and aim as
prescribed by the fathers. We mark the
stealthy approach and insinuation of Eu-
ropean methods in place of the democratic
methods which alone distinguish the Amer-
ican republic from despotism of foreign
lands. We reaffirm the patriotic policy of
the "father of his country," as declared In
his farewell address, that we should ever
be on our guard against the insidious ad-
vances of foreign influence, and that our
country should cultivate friendly relation-
ships with all nations and entangling alli-
ances with none.
Following this policy the democratic party
of Massachusetts declares its uncompromis-
ing opposition to imperallsm, whether with-
in or out of the dominion of the United
States. We declare in particular that the
pledge made by our congress at the out-
break of the war with Spain, that "the
people of Cuba are, and of right ought to
be, free and Independent," should be sacred-
ly maintained. We believe in the Independ-
ence and freedom of every country and peo-
ple capable of self-government. We should
encourage the people of every land through-
out the world, when unjustly governed and
oppressed, to gain their freedom; we should
assist them by pointing out to them the
beneficent results of our own free institu-
tions and by maintaining those institutions
in their pristine purity and democratic
form.

this nation the Instrument for the uplifting
of an oppressed people, and believing a. so
that our flag once raised should never be
lowered, nevertheless we leave our future
destiny in this regard in the hands of the
properly delegated authorities, believing
that they will act for the glory and honor or
the nation and the elevation of mankind.
DEMOCRATIC.
We favor a vigorous prosecution of the
war with Spain, which was begun and is
being waged in the interests of humanity
and for the extension of political freedom.
We urge the most liberal supply of modern
arms to our soldiers and the utmost energy
in their equipment. We declare our con-
viction that there should be no cessation of
effort until every righteous purpose shall
have been achieved. We congratulate the
nation upon the skill and valor of its de-
fenders and the prompt and effective re-
sponse to the call for troops; especially do
we feel just pride in the high character and
earnestness of the brave men of Michigan,
who, in the volunteer service, have reflected
such credit upon our commonwealth.
UNION SILVER.
We most heartily support the national
administration in all worthy efforts to
maintain our national dignity and honor
and forever to drive Spanish oppression
from the western hemisphere. We also
favor a vigorous prosecution of the war t
a successful termination, as set forth in the
declaration thereof.
MINNESOTA.
REPUBLICAN.
We are in favor of the immediate annexa-
tion of the Hawaiian islands, not only as an
absolute military necessity, but as the frui-
tion of one of the noblest aspirations of a
long line of our great statesmen and be-
cause such annexation would be of unques-
tioned advantage to the American people.
We desire especially to commend the wis-
dom and patriotism of the present adminis-
tration in the management of the existing
war between this country and Spain, a war
which appeals to the patriotism of every
citizen in that it is being prosecuted in the
interest of humanity and for no selfish ends
whatever. To the end that its objects may
be speedily realized and the war brought to
an early termination we pledge all moral
and material support in our power.
SILVER REPUBLICANS.
We pledge our united support to the gov-
ernment in a vigorous prosecution of the
war against Spain.
PEOPLE'S (MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD).
We heartily sympathize with the op-
pressed people of Cuba in their struggle for
self-government, and with gratitude and
pride we commend and rejoice in the pa-
triotism of our young men who have volun-
teered in the battle of freedom for Cuba.
MISSISSIPPI.
REPUBLICAN.
We believe that the flag of no despotic
nation should ever again be allowed to float
over soil which has been hallowed by the
blood of American heroes, shed in the cause
of humanity and freedom and in the de-
fense of American honor.
We reassert the Monroe doctrine in its
full extent as a principle of our party, aud
we believe that the United States should
stand aloof from interference with the af-
fairs and disputes of European powers,
when American interests, the integrity oi
American territory and freedom of the na-
tions of the western hemisphere are not in-
volved, but we assert that the Monroe doc-
trine does not compel our government to
abandon or to return to the tyranny of
Spanish rule any of the helpless peoples
who have by force of circumstances in the
conduct of the Spanish-American war been
placed under our protecting care. And we
further assert that the Monroe doctrine
does not forbid the enlargement and exten-
sion of American territory or the protection
of American interests in the eastern as
well as the western hemisphere, and espe-
cially in the Pacific ocean, where our great
coast line and the requirements of the com-
mercial development of our western states
establish paramount rights and impose on
our government corresponding duties, and
we therefore approve of the annexation of
the Hawaiian islands, and we favor . the
acquisition and ownership of additional na-
val stations and ports, sufficient to afford
ample protection to our rightful and natu-
rally growing commerce with Asia and the
other countries of the far east. We believe
in the upbuilding of the American mer-
chant marine, and we favor such legislation
by congress as will accomplish that end.
DEMOCRATIC.
We assert that the declaration of war
against Spain was justified by the causes
which called it forth. We direct attention
to the fact that the national republican ad-
ministration, backed by the republican ma-
jority in congress, was opposed to war, and
yielded only after delay to strong public
sentiment, aroused by the first and per-
sistent demands of democratic senators and
representatives, foremost among whom wer,>
those from Missouri, and for their part in
forcing the republican president and con-
gress to defend the rights of our country we
extend them our hearty congratulation.
We are opposed to waging a war for con-
quest, but as this war was forced on us by
the intolerant conduct of the Spanish gov-
ernment and people we declare that it
should be prosecuted until Spain is driven
from the western hemisphere. And since
the prosecution of the war has entailed
great loss to us of both life and treasure
we demand that Puerto Rico and all Span-
ish territory in the West Indies, except
Cuba, shall be seized by the United States
or be taken possession of by arms and held
under the sovereignty of this country. We
favor carrying out in good faith the resolu-
tion of congress under which we intervened
in Cuba, and aiding the Cubans to establish
and maintain an independent government of
their own, if they desire this, and we will
favor its peaceful annexation whenever it
can be done with the consent of the people
of the island.
We insist on the strict maintenance of
the Monroe doctrine and bold that any de-
parture from it would be both unwise and
hazardous. At the same time we declare
that no American people should be held by
force in unwilling subjection to European
authority.
We oppose an alliance of a political
nature with any European government, !•<?-
lieving that the maintenance of the Mon:-oi>
doctrine in all Its integrity, both in letter
and sp'rit, is nocessarv to the exclusion of
European authority from these continents

and essential to our undisputed supremacy
in American affairs.
We are opposed to the acquisition of the
Philippines or other territory in the eastern
hemisphere. We declare that as an im-
portant incident to war our government
should acquire all necessary harbors and
coaling stations in the Philippines or else-
where, and that the treaty of peace with
Spain or any other government established
on the islands should guarantee to us com-
mercial privileges equal or superior to those
enjoyed by any other nation.
MONTANA.
REPUBLICAN.
As a result of our 110 days of war new In-
terests and new duties have come to the
country, and an increase of the army and
navy is thereby required. We favor such
an enlargement of the American navy as
will protect our ever-widening commerce
and make our flag respected on every sea.
DEMOCRATIC.
We congratulate our brethren, the people
of the United States, upon the return of
peace and on the renown achieved by our
navy and army in a war waged in the
sacred cause of humanity and liberty. We
send greeting to our brave regiment now in
a far-away island of the Pacific and com-
mend the patriotism of those volunteers
v ho gave their services to their country,
though the exigencies of the war never re-
quired them to go to the front.
We arraign the war department for Its
criminal incompctency and inefficiency In
failing to provide adequate food, shelter,
raiment and medical supplies and attention
for our brave soldiers, and demand the most
rigid and searching Investigation of the
abuses resulting in the suffering and death
of so many of our patriotic and devoted
citizens.
Serenely confident of the ability of the
United States to maintain its position
among the nations of the earth, we are op-
posed to any alliance with any European
power.
SILVER REPUBLICANS.
We are opposed to an Anglo-Saxon alli-
ance as antagonistic to that safe policy of
freedom from foreign entanglements coun-
seled by the Immortal Washington and
steadfastly adhered to in the past, and that
as we stand for the free coinage of silver,
without the aid or consent of any foreign
government, so we hold that our country,
secure in the bravery of her sous and
strengthened by the friendship of every
lover of liberty throughout the world, needs
the aid of neither kingdom nor empire to
maintain her high position among the na-
tions of the earth.
NEBRASKA.
REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the nation upon the
successful Issue of the war with Spain
prosecuted under the direction of William
McKinley, conimander-ln-chief of the army
and navy of the United States, with the
loyal support of brave volunteers on both
sea and land.
We emphasize our hearty approval of the
terms demanded of Spain by President Mc-
Kinley as the condition of restored peace.
DEMOCRATIC.
We send greeting to the brave men of our
nation who are fighting humanity's battle
and attempting to relieve the suffering, pri-
vation and hunger of a courageous but
oppressed people, and for that purpose to
guarantee unto the fertile isle of Cuba a
government created, maintained and upheld
by the consent of the governed, and pledge
the president of the United States our most
hearty support in the vigorous prosecution
of the conflict.
PEOPLE'S PARTT.
The policy to be pursued by the United
States respecting foreign nations and peo-
ples of the islands of the sea is one of
great moment and far-reaching In its conse-
quences to present and future generations
of our countrymen. It Is of such magnitude
that it should not be hastily determined,
and in view of the probable close of the
war with Spain at an early date we affirm
that the wise course for this government to
pursue with respect to Its relations with
the Islands lost to Spain during the war
would be to postpone consideration thereof
until the conclusion of the war, to be then
taken up for mature deliberation by the
people when no public excitement exists.
SILVER REPUBLICANS.
We Indorse the policy of the people of the
United States in prosecuting the war
against Spain as a protection to our citizens
and as a punishment for the destruction of
a war vessel In one of the ports of Spain
while this country was at peace with that
nation, and as being in the interest of hu-
manity and freedom, but we oppose the
prosecution of the war for the purposes of
conquest. We pledge to the present admin-
istration our undivided support In securing
all the men and all the money necessary to
bring the war to a speedy, honorable and
successful end. We demand as a part of
the conditions of the proposed peace with
Spain that the Spanish dynasty shall be re-
quired to pay the cost of the war, the value
of the battleship Maine and her armament,
and an adequate sum as damages to the
United States to be distributed among the
wounded and the widows, orphans ana de-
pendents of those who lost their lives by the
destruction of the Maine. We tender to our
heroic soldiers of all ranks our warmest
thanks and our heartiest congratulations,
without regard to party, nationality, creed
or color. Their sacrifices shall be remem-
bered and those dependent upon them cared
for.
NEVADA.
REPUBLICAN.
We stand for the policy of territorial ex-
pansion. The statesmanship of the war was
intervention In behalf of Cuba; the states-
manship of the peace of to-day is freedom
for the oppressed peoples of all lands ac-
quired by the splendid victory of our arms.
These victories demand not only expansion
of territory, but. In the interests of justice
and humanity, they demand expansion of
civilization, which means for the Philip-
pines, for Puerto Rico, for the Ladrones,
free schools, a free church, open courts, no
caste and equal rights to all those mag-
nificent bulwarks of liberty.
We commend the annexation of the Sand-
wich Islands. It means the uplifting of a
struggling people and the opening to them
and their children of new avenues of prom-
ise, with wider and more hopeful prospects.
212
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
We urge the enactment of such laws as will
protect the laboring classes of these islands,
as well as those of any other territory that
may be acquired by the United States, from
the ruinous competition of cheap contract
labor.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The islands which recently belonged to
Spain, but over which the American flag
now floats, belong to the United States by
right of conquest, and we are emphatically
opposed to any scheme that will saddle any
part of the Spanish or Cuban debt on this
country.
The war with Spain has demonstrated the
great necessity of a ship canal connecting
the Atlantic and the Pacific, and we favor
the immediate construction of such canal
over the most feasible route, to be built,
owned and controlled by the United States
government.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
REPUBLICAN.
We approve the increase of the navy, the
upbuilding of our merchant marine, the en-
largement of the regular army to meet the
present requirements of the country, the
construction of a canal connecting the At-
lantic and Pacific oceans, the annexation of
Hawaii and Puerto Rico, the provision for a
free and stable government for Cuba and its
ultimate annexation. While reaffirming the
Monroe doctrine, we favor such disposition
of the Philippines as will best promote the
growing commercial and political interests
of the united States, extinguish the sover-
eignty of Spain and make good our obliga-
tions to the peoples of those islands.
NEW JERSEY.
REPUBLICAN.
We approve the annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands and view this act as an im-
portant step in the advance of American
civilization, and we repose entire confidence
in the wisdom and patriotism of the presi-
dent and the commission appointed by him
to negotiate such a treaty of peace as will
meet the just expectations of our people by
insisting on an adjustment in which the
interests of this republic and of civilization
and humanity will be secured as far as
possible as the fruits of the valor of our
soldiers and sailors in the war with Spain.
NEW YORK.
REPUBLICAN.
We have abiding confidence that the presi-
dent will conclude this peace upon terms
that will satisfy the conscience, the judg-
ment and the high purpose of the American
people. We realize that when the necessity
of war compelled our nation to destroy
Spanish authority in the Antilles and in the
Philippines \ye assumed solemn duties and
obligations alike to the people of the islands
we conquered and to the civilized world.
We cannot turn these islands back to Spain.
We cannot leave them, unarmed for defense
and untried in statecraft, to the horrors of
domestic strife or to partition among Euro-
pean powers. We have assumed the respon-
sibilities of victory, and wherever our flag
has gone, there the liberty, the humanity
and the civilization which that flag em-
bodies and represents must remain and
abide forever. The republican party has
been the party of brave conservatism, of
wise progress and of triumphant faith in
the nationality of this people, and we know
that the president and statesmen and voters
of the republican party will meet these is-
sues of the future as bravely and triumph-
antly as we have met the issues of the past.
We commend the annexation of Hawaii in
the interest of commerce, of national secu-
rity and national development.
DEMOCRATIC.
We congratulate the country upon the
successful termination of a war undertaken,
not for conquest or aggrandizement, but in
the interests of humanity, liberty and civili-
zation. We glory in the patriotic devotion
and valor of our brave soldiers and sailors,
who have honored the American people and
heightened the luster of our national fame,
and we favor the adoption of a liberal
policy toward the sick and wounded and the
families of those who lost their lives in the
service of their country. We rejoice that
the democracy has been connected with
every honorable and creditable step in the
war and with nothing that is dishonorable
or discreditable.
The scandalous abuse by the president of
his power of appointment in scattering
army commissions among inexperienced and
incompetent civilians as rewards to per-
sonal favorites, and almost to the exclusion
of experienced officers in the service, is
largely accountable for the fearful sufferings
and the appalling loss of life among the gal-
lant soldiers, that have brought disgrace
upon the administration and a sense of
shame to the nation. A democratic con-
?ress will, if chosen by the people, rigidly
nvestigate the conduct of the war and ex-
pose and punish all who may be responsible
for the unnecessary deaths, privations, suf-
ferings and neglect of the soldiers, whi,-h
have saddened the nation and abated the
natural rejoicing over the triumphs of our
army.
NORTH CAROLINA.
DEMOCRATIC.
While we deplore the war with Spain, we

speedy and successful conclusion of hos-
tilities.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
To avenge the Maine, to advance repub-
lican institutions and in the interests of
humanity, the brutal and treacherous Span-
iards should be driven from the western
hemisphere and a republican form of govern-
ment established in the islands which she
has misgoverned, robbed, persecuted and
pillaged.
NORTH DAKOTA.

In the interest of humanity and a more
progressive and enlightened civilization we

In the future as in the past we welcome

erty-loving individuals from every climo and
offer to each of them a full share of the
groat blessings that belong to and are a
part of the free institutions under our re-
publican form of government.

We condemn the uncivilized and dark-ages
policy of Spain in its barbarous treatment
of the inhabitants of Cuba, Puerto Kieo,
the Philippines and those islands yet re-
maining under Spanish control, and to those
of our patriotic citizens who have pledged
their lives in behalf of these oppressed peo-
ple we offer our tenderest devotion and our
united support. In the marvelous victories
on sea and land our nation has achieved in
the last three months we recognize the
hand of Providence and accept them as as-
surances of the success of our nation In the
future.
We sincerely believe that Cuba must, and
of right ought to be, free and independent.
Spanish dominion over Puerto Rico and
the Philippines must cease forever, and we
favor such wise policy as may be deemed
necessary by the administration for the
future government and control of these
islands.
We fully indorse the action of congress
and the executive In the annexation of
Hawaii.
DEMOCRATIC.
We rejoice In the glorious achievements of
our army and navy, whose magnificent vic-
tories, participated In by citizens of every
state In the union, have added imperishable
luster to our arms, swept away the last
vestige of sectionalism in our country and
revealed us to the world a united people,
and we pledge the loyal support of the
democratic party in this state to the na-
tional administration in waging and bring-
ing to a successful termination the present
war with Spain. We urge the vigorous
prosecution of the war so unselfishly begun
in the interests of humanity, civilization
and progress, until Cuba and all other pos-
sessions of Spain on this continent are freed
from her blighting influence and dominion.
The supreme duty of the hour is to relieve
the oppressed and perishing victims of Span-
ish cruelty and to secure the complete
triumph of our national arms. When this
has been accomplished the wisdom and jus-
tice of the American people may be safely
trusted to deal with all questions which
may grow out of existing complications, In
such a way as to promote the objects for
which the war was entered upon and to
perpetuate the principles upon which our
government is founded.
OHIO.
REPUBLICAN.
We most heartily approve of the steps
now being taken by congress and the presi-
dent providing for the annexation of the
Hawaiian islands as a part of the United
States, and hereby express the urgent wish
that the same be fully accomplished at the
earliest practicable date by the passage by
the senate of the joint resolution which has
already met with the approval of the house
of representatives.
Knowing that justice and humanity alike
made it our duty to put an end to the hope-
less and barbarous warfare waged by Spain
against Cuba, and secure for that unhappy
island a free and stable government, we
most heartily approve of the declaration of
war made by the United States against
Spain, and pledge our lives and fortunes
for the purpose of bringing it to a quick and
successful termination.
We Indorse and approve the patriotic
American administration of William Mc-
Kiuley. We commend the great statesman-
ship displayed by him in his tireless en-
deavors to secure an honorable settlement of
the Cuban question by diplomatic methods,
and his fearless refusal to be driven int«
war until all hopes of a peaceful settlement
had failed and wise and needful steps had
been taken to prepare for hostilities. We
heartily indorse the conduct of the war by
the administration and feel confident that
time will continue more and more to dem-
onstrate the great wisdom and matchless
leadership of President McKinley so far
remarkably displayed in his management of
the war and Its conduct, and we rejoice
with him that, in the present crisis, the
American people are united in sustaining
him and that patriotism has completely
obliterated the last vestige of sectiona/
feeling.
Since the war with Spain could not be
avoided, we approve all that congress has
done to provide for the vigorous and suc-
cessful prosecution thereof, and gratefully
thank all members of that body who have
patriotically voted the revenues necessary
for its conduct. We also commend the ac-
tion of congress in providing for raising
necessary funds to carry on the war by the
popular loan, thus affording an opportunity
to citizens of moderate means to invest in
the bonds of the government.
DEMOCRATIC.
We recognize the eternal truth that life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness is the
natural and inalienable heritage of all
mankind, and since the hand of despotism
has been lifted from the island of Cuba,
dominated by Spain, we should afford its
inhabitants an nntrammeled opportunity to
establish a free and independent constitu-
tional government, deriving its powers from
the consent of the governed, and we remind
the country that congress, in the resolutions
which declared war, resolved "that the
United States hereby disclaims any disposi-
tion or intention to exercise sovereignty,
jurisdiction or control over said island, ex-
cept for the pacification thereof, and asserts
Its determination when that Is accom-
plished to leave the government and con-
trol of the island to its people," and we
believe that until the people of the islands
of Cuba and the Philippines, redeemed from
Spanish domination, declare otherwise we
should keep the faith upon which the war
was begun and prosecuted.
PROHIBITION.
While we hold that thp policy of ar-
bitration ought in general to prevail in
cases of dispute between nations, yet we
hereby express to the president of the
United States and the authorities of the

and support in the humanitarian war that
is now being waged by our country in behalf
of the oppressed people of Cuba and the
cause of popular freedom.

PENNSYLVANIA.
REPUBLICAN.
We declare our emphatic approval of the
wise and patriotic course of the president
and congress In the present war. We ap-
preciate the high statesmanship which led
the president to resort to every honorable
means to avoid the necessity of a war with
Spain. The conditions prevailing In the Is-
land of Cuba, under Spanish control, had
become seriously Injurious to our important
commercial Interests, and the suffering,
misery and death occasioned by Spanish
cruelty and barbarity had Instilled a senti-
ment of resentment among the American
people, who cannot help but feel a generous
sympathy with people so near our own bor-
der. The destruction of the Maine by Span-
ish agencies, In the opinion of our people,
demanded atonement; and our negotiations
with Spain clearly developed the fact that
but one alternative was left to the United
States, that Spain should relinquish her
sovereignty over that Island and that the
freedom of Cuba should be recognized. With
these purposes in view we demand a vigor-
ous prosecution of the war to a successful
conclusion and we pledge our earnest sup-
port to the president of the United States In
whatever measures he may deem necessary.

"that our first and fundamental maxim
should be never to entangle ourselves in
the broils of Europe; our second, never to
suffer Europe to intermeddle with cis-

sufferings of that gallant people may not
longer be a reproach to our common hu-

at peace with all the nations of the earth,
but if the vindication of the national honor
and the firm maintenance of well-considered
principles of justice shall necessitate a
resort to the arbitrament of arms, we
pledge Rhode Island to the national defense

We urge Its vigorous prosecution, to the end
that It may be speedily terminated and the

part of the public policy of the national gov-

wherever it has been successfully raised.

The war with Spain was necessary and
Inevitable If the nation was to have any
regard for the protection of its citizens and
the redress of wrongs and outrages on the

demanded quick and decisive action. Such
was the demand of the American people.
Yet, after this condition became known for

the responsibility growing out of this most
important crisis. After resorting to various
doviees and deceptive representations it
was at length compelled, through the patri-
otic efforts of democratic members of con-
gress and an array of public sentiment, to
favor a declaration of war. Through the
skill, willingness, sacrifice and heroism of
the army and navy of the United States the
war has been waged to a triumphant and
glorious conclusion.

We favor an increase in our army and

conditions require to establish and carry
Into effect permanently the plans and
policies of our administration with refer-
ence to the annexation of Puerto Kico and
other Spanish possessions and to establish
and guarantee a stable government in the
island of Cuba.
We approve with satisfaction the terms
upon which peace will be entered into be-
tween Spain and the United States, as set
forth in the president's acts and protocol,
and we congratulate him and the adminis-
tration upon the;r conduct of and successful
termination of the war.
We approve the annexation of the Ha-

increase our commerce and trade, providing
a safe, convenient and sufficient naval base
and coaling station and adding much to the
wealth and resources of our country. We
insist that the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands is within the spirit and letter of the
constitution and an evidence of a determina-
tion on the part of our administration to
carry Into effect the Monroe doctrine.
DEMOCRATIC.
We favor the carrying out to the letter and
spirit of the resolutions under which we
intervened in Cuba, and we insist that the
Cubans shall be permitted to establish an
independent government of their own, but
in the event that the people of that island
shall hereafter desire to be annexed to this
country and the terms of annexation can be
satisfactorily arranged between the two
countries we will welcome Cuba as a part
of the territory of the United States.
We favor the acquisition of Puerto Rico
and all other Spanish possessions In the
western hemisphere.
We reaffirm our faith in the Monroe doc-
trine and oppose the annexation or con-
tinued retention of the Philippine islands or
any territory upon the eastern hemisphere.
PEOPLE'S PARTY.
The war between the United States and
Spain was at its Inception declared and un-
derstood to be in the interest of humanity,
and not for conquest. We cordially indorse
this sentiment and demand that the war
shall be vigorously prosecuted to a success-
ful termination on these lines and in this
spirit, and we now and here pledge to the
president and his administration our co-
operation to that end.
VERMONT.
REPUBLICAN.
For the first time in a generation the re-
publicans of Vermont assemble with the
nation at war. Many of our citizens have
become soldiers. They are beyond our
borders — perhaps on foreign soil. They are
fighting for the nation's honor as their
fathers fought for the nation's life. It is
therefore fitting that we should proclaim
our faith and purpose. We are at war with
Spain not for revenge, not for conquest, not
for glory, not for love of war. But we are
at war with Spain for the love of fellow-
men, for the sake of humanity — in the holy
cause of liberty. We are at war with Spain
because we have heard the poor that cry and
have remembered them that are in bonds as
bound with thorn. Therefore the war must
go on until the infamy of medircval methods
of government in the dawn of the twentieth
century and at the very door of this repub-
lic shall have forever passed away and until
a permanent and honorable peac:> Is sefiired;
and to that end we pledge our loyal support
to the president of the United States.
We are opposed to the resurrender to
Spanish misrule of any territory which the
valor of our army and navy has rescued or
may hereafter rescue from the hands of the
enemy, and we have an abiding confidence
that a republican president and congress
will so shape the future of such territory as
best to promote the welfare of its inhab-
itants and the true glory of our country.
DEMOCRATIC.
The republican administration in its dec-
laration of war solemnly declared to the
world that the purpose of this country in
entering upon the war with Spain was solely
one of numanity, and in its declaration ex-
pressly disavowed any Intentions of setting
up or asserting the sovereignty of the United
States in any conquered territory. We ac-
cept that declaration as made in good faith
and binding upon the administration and
the country, and we believe that the present
war should be vigorously prosecuted and
promptly ended. We oppose the proposed
imperialistic policy of the republican party
in the annexation or colonization of any
territory won from Spain by our arms. The
policy of protection of necessfty leads the
republican party to this course, because un-
less our markets are extended in this man-
ner their protective principle will be an-
nihilated. Such policy involves the abandon-
ment of the Monroe doctrine, depriving us
of the advantages we have enjoyed from our
isolated situation; exposes us to the danger
of quarrel with the European nations, and
is liable to force us into the entangling
alliances which Washington charged us to
avoid; and it is a departure from the faith
of the fathers and from the principles upon
which the government was founded; It as-
sumes powers never conferred by the con-
stitution and imposes responsibilities for
which our system of government is unfitted
and invites the disasters which have over-
taken all republics heretofore existing.
We believe that the annexation of Hawaii
was an unwise departure from our tradi-
tional policy, and in view of the territory's
remoteness and the undesirableness of its
population we oppose the admission of these
islands to statehood. We cordially extend
our love and sympathy to the Green moun-
tain boys who promptly responded to their
country's call.

tion of President McKlnley relating to the
measures and events which led to the war
•with Spain, the conduct of the war through-
out, and are now in favor of the retention of
all conquered territory.
DEMOCRATIC.
While we do not favor an aggressive policy
of general territorial expansion, we are op-
posed to surrendering to Spain any of the
territory that has been acquired by American
valor and expenditure of blood and treasure
of our people. We do not favor surrendering
to Spain the domination of the people of any
Spanish colonies who co-operated with our
forces against our enemy In the late war.
We are opposed to the assumption of any
portion of the debts of Spain incurred In ob-
taining her sovereignty in Cuba, and also
to the imposition of any portion thereof
upon the people of that Island or to recogni-
tion thereof.
We favor the fullest Investigation of all
conditions existing in the Philippine islands
affecting the Interests and obligations of our
country In the matter of their future treat-
ment and disposition, to the end that final
action in relation thereto shall be Intelligent
and based upon full knowledge of all facts
that can affect the interests of the United
States.
WISCONSIN.
REPUBLICAN.
We welcome the return of peace and ex-
press our gratitude and thanks to the brave
men of the army and navy who have main-
tained the honor of our flag and again proved
to the world the qualities of American
patriotism. We extend .loyous welcome to
our returning Wisconsin boys, who have de-
servedly gained the highest honors among
the volunteer troops.
We express our perfect confidence in the
administration wisely and justly to conclude
terms of peace having regard for the wel-
fare of the inhabitants of the conquered
territory and the best interests of our own
people.
DEMOCRATIC.
We congratulate the citizens of the nation
on their loyalty and ardent patriotism dis-
played in the prosecution of the late war,
and we especially honor the American army
and navy for their valor and intrepid brav-
ery on land and sea; and we condemn in
unstinted measure the war department for
the blunders and crimes committed against
the brave boys in blue in camp and on
foreign battlefields, by selfish contractors,
incompetent surgeons and vain, heartless
army officers appointed for political pur-
poses, and we hereby pledge to our brave
soldiers and sailors who survive the war our
earnest and loyal support to secure the
punishment of the guilty parties.
WYOMING.
REPUBLICAN.
We believe our country under a republican
administration is entering upon its greatest
period of power, happiness and responsibil-
ity, and we realize the mighty future of
successful progress and duty which is even
now before us, and that the republican
party is fully able to pursue a policy upon
the declaration of peace with Spain which
will at once maintain the dignity and honor
of our nation and bring prosperity to the
islands which will come under our control
and protection.
We most heartily approve of the annexa-
tion of the Hawaiian islands and hail with
pleasure the American flag which has been
there planted as an emblem of liberty by
the republican administration.

ARKANSAS.
REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the country upon the
adoption of the Dingley act, with its reci-
procity provision, as a wise measure of pro-
tection and security to American labor and
capital, which, while greatly reducing our
imports by substitution of home for foreign
made fabrics, has opened to us the markets
of the world to an extent never before
known, so that the balance of trade in our
favor for this fiscal year will attain
the unparalleled and stupendous figures of
$600,000,000.
CALIFORNIA.
REPUBLICAN.
We call attention to the fact that since
the return of the republican party to
power the balance of trade has changed
from more than $400,000,000 against the
United States to about $880,000,000 in our
favor, and all of this is due to the wise and
conservative financial policy adopted and
no declaration was made.j
adhered to by the republican congress and
president.
PROHIBITION.
We protest against the frequent tariff
changes which are suddenly made, to the
great detriment of the business interests of
the country, as one or the other of the old
parties comes into power at Washington,
and we favor a tariff commission of experts,
whose duty it shall be to recommend to con-
gress any needed changes in our tariff.
COLORADO.
DEMOCRATIC.
The so-called Dingley act, passed for the
purpose of supplying revenue to the treas-
ury, is confessedly a failure. It has neither
raised wages nor revenue, revived business
nor promoted prosperity. Under its opera-
tion many thousands of employes have suf-
fered a reduction of wages or lost employ-
ment, while the national income shows an
annual deficit of $100,000,000. It is the cul-
mination of a system unlawful and inde-
fensible, and we demand the passage of a
revenue law which shall furnish an adequate
supply of money to the government without
necessarily burdening the people or en-

CONNECTICUT.
REPUBLICAN.
It [the party) pledges Itself to maintain
the principle of protection to American labor
and American industry, with reciprocity,
and favors such alterations In the existing
tariff and revenue laws as the changed con-
ditions growing out of the Spanish war may
require, and those which may be found
necessary from time to time, and it favors
the most stringent legislative prohibitions
against cheap pauper immigration, protect-
ing to the fullest extent the American wage-
earner against imported cheap labor.
DELAWARE.
REPUBLICAN.
We demand that the products of foreign
countries shall be required before being ad-
mitted into this country to pay such duties
as will protect the American workmen from
competition in our home markets with the
underpaid labor of Europe and Asia.
We also believe that the duties so imposed
should be so laid as to discriminate in favor
of products imported into this country in
American-built vessels.
DEMOCRATIC.
The Dingley tariff act Increased taxes,
making the highest tariff schedules known
to our history, without increasing revenue
sufficiently to meet the expenditures of gov-
ernment. It Increased the special advan-
tages and privileges of the sugar trust and
of every other trust, but it did not Increase
the wages of labor nor revive the depres-
sion under which agriculture languishes.
Every indication points to the necessity of
expansion In our foreign trade and we de-
mand that the fetters of the Dingley tariff
act be removed.
We believe that all taxation, state or na-
tional, should be so laid as to place the
least restraint possible on the labor, indus-
try and enterprise of the people, and that no
privileged class or private interest should be
permitted to use the taxing power for Its
own ends.
IDAHO.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our belief In the protective
tariff policy of the republican party, and we
believe that only under such policy can the
people enjoy the fullest measure of pros-
perity which our splendid natural resources
and commercial advantages entitle us to
demand.
DEMOCRATIC.
Demand "the reduction of tariff duties
to a point which will provide only a suffi-
cient revenue for the needs of the govern-
ment, without levying extra tax upon the
consumer for the purpose of enriching the
already wealthy."
ILLINOIS.
DEMOCRATIC.
Pledges the party to "the reduction of
tariff duties to a point which will provide
only a sufficient revenue for the needs of the
government, without levying extra taxes
upon the .consumer for the purpose of en-
riching the already wealthy."
INDIANA.
REPUBLICAN.
We especially commend the president and
congress for the prompt passage of a wise
revenue law In accordance with the sound
republican doctrine of reciprocity and pro-
tection to American Industries and home
labor, and express our unbounded confidence
in the beneficial results predicted for this
measure by our party leaders, evidences of
which are daily accumulating in the way of
renewed business prosperity and ample rev-
enue for ordinary governmental expendi-
tures.
We therefore reaffirm our belief In the
doctrine of reciprocity and protection to
American labor and home industries, and
condemn the democratic doctrine of tariff
for revenue only as unsound and unsuited to
the best interests of the country, a doctrine
whose falsity has been demonstrated by our
experience under the Wilson revenue law,
that plunged the nation into commercial
and financial distress, from which it Is
fast recovering since the change from that
democratic policy.
DEMOCRATIC.
We earnestly reassert the democratic doc-
trine that all tariff taxes shall be laid for
revenue as their sole object and purpose,
and we do at this time especially denounce
and condemn the high prohibitory rates of
the present republican tariff, commonly
called the Dingley law, under the operation
of which trusts and combinations have
multiplied, the cost of the necessaries of
life has been Increased and the wages of
labor have not been advanced, and which
has entailed upon the country a deficit of
many millions to be made up only by addi-
tional taxation In time of war, thus im-
posing, instead of a benefit, an onerous
burden upon the people of the United States.
IOWA.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our belief in the republican
doctrines of reciprocity and protection. We
congratulate the people on the fact that a
republican congress has enacted a protect-
ive tariff which has brought prosperity to
our country, and pledge ourselves to favor
such changes in the present republican reve-
nue law as experience may from time to
time dictate or change if conditions de-
mand.
KANSAS.
DEMOCRATIC.
We are against the McKlnley and Dingley
system of taxation for the expenses of gov-
ernment. It is wrong in principle, being a
tax on consumption instead of property, and
a breeder of mists and monopolies. It is
disastrous in practice, as the present $60,-
000,000 deficit illustrates, and we renew our
protest against it and insist upon federal
taxation being levied in such manner as will
reach the incomes and property of rich men
and corporations and thus to some degree ex-
empt the necessities of the common people.
We wage no war upon the rich, but insist
the rich and poor alike must stand in equal-
ity before the law, and that unjust privi-
leges and the aggressions of wealth upon the
rights of man must cease. We therefore
218

favor an amendment to the constitution of
the United States, if the same be necessary,
such as will authorize congress to levy
direct taxes upon incomes, corporations, es-
tates and all forms of aggregated wealth.
MASSACHUSETTS.
REPUBLICAN.
The demand for a tariff really protective,
and that should provide ample revenue for
the needs of the government, has likewise
been fully met in the Dingley act. Under
its operation exports of manufactured goods
have increased and imports diminished, the
number of persons employed and the amount
of wages paid have been greater, and the
rate of wages, looking at our Industries as
a whole, has been higher. As a producer of
revenue it has demonstrated its ability to
furnish more than can be required in times
of peace. Under it the credit of the govern-
ment has been restored. We no longer issue
bonds for ordinary expenditures; we sell our
war bonds to the people, not to syndicates
or by contract at exorbitant rates of .interest
and enormous profits to the purchaser at the
expense of the people. The gold reserve be-
hind our demand currency is more than suffi-
cient.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the general character and
particular acts of legislation which have
been enacted under the Influence of the
present administration. Every such act
has been calculated not to alleviate but to
add to the disasters of the people. Of this
kind of discriminating legislation is the
IJingley tariff law, the provisions of which
wero dictated by the beneficiaries. Of this
kind is the more recent internal-revenue tax
law, which was notoriously constructed so
that the corporations might evade their
share in the burdens of the nation, thereby
devolving the entire sacrifice upon an al-
ready distressed people.

We congratulate the country upon the

operation of the Dingley law that is now
producing ample revenue for all the ordi-
nary expenditures of the government. We
congratulate the country upon the restora-
tion of protection and the return of pros-
perity as evidenced by the reopening of
mills, factories and shops and the re-em-
ployment of idle men and women.
MINNESOTA.
REPUBLICAN.
The Dinglpy law has been a new stimulus
to American industry, created new enter-
prises, increased the demand for labor, and
In a multitude of ways vindicated the wis-
dom of the republican policy under all con-
ditions of our national life. We affirm our
adhesion to the principles set forth in the
platform of our last national convention at
'St. Louis and exemplified in the administra-
tion of William McKinley. The work of un-
doing the mischief wrought upon American
industry by the last democratic administra-
tion is being prosecuted with a vigor that
commands our admiration. The wisdom of
our republican congress cannot be too highly
commended for its efforts in providing such
remedial legislation as is necessary to re-
form abuses growing out of democratic mis-
rule, to supply the wants of an exhausted
treasury and repair the damages produced
by the gross mismanagement of our national
finances, by enacting a tariff which afforded
neither protection nor revenue and was de-
structive of the interests of the wa'ge-
earner.

NEBRASKA.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce as unjust and unequitable
the protective-tariff system, which, through
the instrumentality ot class legislation, robs
the many for the benefit of the few, and
that a tariff should be for a revenue only,
and therefore denounce the Dingley act and
arraign the republican party for its enact-
ment.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the republican party for the
passage of the Dingley tariff law, a measure
calculated only to protect monopolies, in-
sufficient to raise a revenue sufficient to
meet the ordinary expenditures of the gov-
ernment and based upon no principle of
equity or justice.
NEW JERSEY.
REPUBLICAN.
We hereby resolve and declare that we
affirm our adhesion and devotion to the
fundamental principles of the national re-
publican party as set forth in the platform
adopted at the St. Louis convention in 1896.
NEW YORK.
REPUBLICAN.
The republican party is fulfilling Its
pledges made at St. Louis. We have en-
acted a conservative, protective tariff, so
wisely devised that the revenue is amply
sufficient to pay the ordinary expenses of
government in times of peace, while capital
is encouraged to seek employment and the
wages of labor are maintained at that high
standard which experience has proved to be
necessary to the welfare of our people. Our
exports largely exceed our imports. The
gold of the world comes steadily to our
shores, and with a continuance of republican
policy and republican national administra-
tion the prosperous future of the nation is
assured.
In the interests of American labor and
commerce we believe that American prod-
ucts should be carriod in American ships,
and we favor the upbuilding of an American
merchant marine, which will give us our

NORTH CAROLINA.
REPUBLICAN.
We indorse tho Dingley tariff law and also
the republican tariff measures made neces-
sary by the enormous expenditures Incident
to the war. While the democratic adminis-
tration sold bonds in secret in time of
peace to foreign syndicates, the present re-
publican administration has required the
banks and syndicates to stand back until
that our bonds are worth 20 per cent more
in time of war than they were worth in
time of democracy, and that the common
people of the country have displayed their
confidence In the government by subscribing
three times over the amount called for by
the administration.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the republican party for the
passage of the Dingley tariff law, which has
increased the burdens of taxation upon our
consumers and given the trusts and monop-
olists greater power to rob the people.
Believing that under our present methods
of federal taxation more than three-
quarters of our national revenues are paid
by people owning less than one-quarter of
the property of the country, we protest
against such inequality and injustice, and In
order to remedy, to some extent, this great
wrong, we favor an income tax and favor
all constitutional methods to sustain It.
NORTH DAKOTA.
REPUBLICAN.
We reaffirm our belief In the policy of pro-
tection to American industry and American

OHIO.
REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the country upon the fact
that, in response to the demand of the St.
Louis platform and the will of the people
expressed at the polls in November, 1896,
protection and reciprocity, twin measures
of republican policy, have been re-estab-
lished and have been embodied into public
law by the enactment of the Dingley meas-
ure.
We favor all measures which will pro-
mote the restoration and growth of our
merchant marine.
PENNSYLVANIA.
REPUBLICAN.
The republicans of Pennsylvania reaffirm
their adherence to the doctrine of protection
to American industries. Two years ago our
mills were closed and our manufacturing,
commercial, agricultural and business inter-
ests were prostrated. To-day our mills are
opened, labor is given full employment and
a general revival of industrial activity
promises renewed prosperity to our state.
TENNESSEE.
REPUBLICAN.
We congratulate the country on the pros-
perity which has now come, due largely to
the return of the republican party to power,
the enactment of the Dingley law and the
maintenance of the gold standard.
DEMOCRATIC.
We demand that all federal taxation shall
be strictly and only for revenue for the
support of an economically administered
government, and we condemn the policy of
the republican party in prostituting the tax-
ing power to enrich the few at the expense
of the many.
UTAH.
REPUBLICAN.
The republican party of Utah demands
as it has always demanded, protection,
bimetallism and reciprocity. We congratu-
late the country, and especially Utah, upon
the great financial success of the republican
doctrine of protection, as expressed and ful-
filled in the Dingley act, and remind voters
of this state of the many millions of dollars
by which the wealth of Utah has been en-
hanced by reason of it; that lead mining
has been sustained and could exist only with
such protection; that agricultural production
has been made profitable through its
agency; that the exports of the whole na-
tion have been vastly increased since the
Dingley law was passed; that reviving pros-
perity follows this republican policy, as it
always has, and we pledge the party to
support for office, and particularly for the
office of senator and representative In con-
gress, only those who do and will support
the principles of the Dingley act. Protec-
tion has been and shall be the corner stone
of republicanism.
TEXAS.
DEMOCRATIC.
We denounce the republican party for the
passage of the Dingley tariff law, which
places the burden of tariff taxation upon
those least able to bear it, and which has
resulted in a great deficit in the revenue.
VERMONT.
DEMOCRATIC.
We emphatically reassert the democratic
faith that all tariff taxes shall be laid for
revenue as their sole object, and not for the
upbuilding of the Hannas, Carnegies and
their school of grasping multimillionaires.
WASHINGTON.
REPUBLICAN.
We Indorse the action of the present re-
publican congress which has re-enacted into
law a protective tariff through the Dingley
bill and restored prosperity to the country.
DEMOCRATIC.
We condemn the Dingley tariff as the most
oppressive and inlquitious law that has ever
disgraced our statute books. It was en-
acted on the imperious demand of corpora-
tions and trusts which contributed to the
scandalous republican campaign fund to the
alarming amount of $16.000,000. It taxes
the masses for the benefit of the classes;

MEN OF THE YEAR 1898.
WILLIAM R. DAY.
William R. Day was born at Ravenna, O.,
on April 17, 1849, and came of a race of
lawyers, his father, the late Chief Justice
Luther Day, having been a prominent law-
yer of Ohio for many years. His paternal
and maternal grandfathers were Supreme
court justices. He was graduated from the
University of Michigan in the class of '70
and studied law in the law department of
the same university and was admitted to
the bar in 1872. In October of that year he
settled in Canton and formed a law partner-
ship with William A. Lynch. In 1886 he
was elected to the bench of the Common
Pleas court by both political parties, and in
1889 he was appointed judge of the United
States District court for the northern dis-
trict of Ohio by President Harrison, but
failing health compelled him to resign be-
fore taking the omce. With these two ex-
ceptions Judge Day has continuously prac-
ticed his profession in Canton, being en-
gaged in both the criminal and corporation
branches.
Early in his administration President Mc-
Kinley appointed Judge Day assistant sec-
retary of state. Owing to the ill health of
Secretary Sherman the duties of the sec-
retaryship largely devolved upon him
throughout the administration. On April
26, 1898, he became secretary, and his con-
duct of the important and delicate negotia-
tions preceding the declaration of war, as
well as those during its progress, has
elicited the approval and support of the
country. In September he resigned to take
the position of bead of the Paris peace
commission.
JOHN W. GRIGGS.
John William Griggs, attorney-general,
was born In Newton, N. J., July 10, 1849.
He was graduated from Lafayette college in
1868 and became a law student in the offire
of Robert Hamilton at Newton. In 1871 he
removed to Paterson. where he entered the
office of Socrates Tuttle. He was admitted
to the bar that year, and together with Mr.
Tuttle formed the firm of Tuttle & Griggs.
A few years later he opened an office on his
own account. He was elected to the assem-
bly in 1875 and was re-elected two years
Inter. In the latter year the house was
equally divided and he became leader on
the republican side. He was renominated
for another term, but was defeated. He
was elected counsel for the board of free-
holders of Passaic county and city council
of Paterson, which offices he held until 1882,
when he was elected to the state senate.
He was re-elected state senator and became
president of the senate in 1886. He was a
delegate-at-large to the republican national
convention in 18S8. In 1895 Gov. Werts of
New Jersey offered Mr. Griggs a place on
the Supreme court bench of that state,
which he declined to accent. In 1895 he was
elected governor of New Jersey, which posi-
tion he resigned to succeed Mr. McKenna as
attorney-general in Mr. McKinley's cabinet.
CHARLES EMORY SMITH.
C. E. Smith, postmaster-general, was born
at Mansfield, Conn.. Feb. 18, 1842. He was
7 yours old when his parents removed to
Albany, N. Y.. and he began to lay the
foundation of his education in the public
schools of that city. He was graduated from
Union college at Schenectady in 1861, just
as the civil war opened, and was appointed
to the staff of Gen. Rathbone. After devot-
ing two years to the work of recruiting and
organizing volunteers for the union army he
returned to the Albany academy as one of
its instructors. He became editor of the
Albany Express in 1865 and of the Albany
Evening Journal in 1870, retaining the latter
position for ten years. During this period
he was the most devoted follower of Roscoe
Conkling and by consequence an earnest op-
ponent of the lllaine element in the repub-
lican party. But in 1880 he left Albany to
become editor of the Philadelphia Press,
which was owned by an admirer of Mr.
Elaine, and he immediately became the
most ardent supporter of the movement to
mate him president. Mr. Smith was ap-
pointed minister to Russia by President
Harrison. Like Mr. Gary, whom he suc-
ceeded, and almost all other postmaster-
generals, Mr. Smith lacks experience in
postal affairs beyond that necessarily gained
by anybody who is at the head of a leading
newspaper, but he has good executiye ca-
pacity, which is the main essential for the
proper conduct of the business of the postal
department.
DAVID J. HILL.
David Jayne Hill, first assistant secretary
of state, was born June 10, 1850, at Plain-
field, N. J. He is the son of the Rev.
Daniel T. Hill, a baptist minister. In 1874
he was graduated from Bucknell university.
In 1877 he published "The Science of Rhet-
oric." This was soon afterward followed
by "The Elements of Rhetoric." In 1879 he
began a series of brief biographies of Amer-
ican authors, similar to Money's "English
Men of Letters.' He completed in this
series two volumes on Irving and Bryant
respectively, which were widely read and
highly praised. In March, 1879, he was
elected to the presidency of the university
at Lewisburg, to succeed the Rev. Justin
Loomis, LL. D. In 1886 he again took up
authorship by publishing a treatise on "The
Principles and Fallacies of Socialism."
From 1888 to 1896 he was president of the
University of Rochester, N. Y.
About this time also appeared an analytic
recasting for use in schools and colleges of
"Jevonsr Elements of Logic." Three years
later he published a series of lectures which
he had delivered before the Theological In-
stitution, Newton. Mass., on "The Social
Influences of Christianity," having especial
reference to contemporary problems. In
this same year also appeared "The Ele-
ments of Psychology."
L. E. M'COMAS.
Louis Emory McComas was born in Wash-
ington county, Maryland, Oct. 28. 1846. He
was k'rnduated from Dickinson college and
was admitted to the bar soon after reaching
his majority. He began his political career
in 1876, when, at the age of 30, he was the
republican candidate for congress In the 6th
district and was defeated by William Wahh
by fourteen votes. As a candidate for the
XLVIIIth congress McComas was success-
ful, and he was re-elected for three suc-
cessive terms thereafter. During that time
222
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
he was the only republican congressman
from Maryland. In the eight years he
served in congress Mr. McComas made a
good record as an industrious and efficient
member. His support of the force bill was
largely responsible for his second defeat. In
the presidential campaign of 1892 he was
secretary of the national republican com-
mittee. Shortly after the election of that
year President Harrison, who, like Presi
dent McKinley, is a warm personal friend
appointed him to the bench of the Supreme
court of the District of Columbia. He has
been elected by the legislature of Maryland
to succeed Mr. Gorman as United States
senator and will take his seat March 3, 1899.
JOSEPH SIMON.
Joseph Simon, United States senator from
Oregon, was born in Germany of a Jewish
family in 1851 and went to Oregon with his
parents in 1857. He was educated in the
public schools of Portland, studied law, and
in 1872 was admitted to the bar, since which
time he has practiced his profession in that
city. He became a member of the city
council in 1877, serving three years, being
for a portion of the time president of the
council and acting mayor. As secretary of
the republican state central committee in
1878 he managed the campaign so success-
fully that in 1880 he was made chairman of
the committee, in which capacity he served
for six years. He represented Multnomah
county, Oregori, in the state senate from
i880 to 1891 and again since 1893. He was
president of the senate during the session
of 1889-91, and since 1893 has been repeat-
edly elected to that position. In 1892 Mr.
Simon was a delegate to the national re-
publican convention in Minneapolis. He
was then elected to represent Oregon on the
republican national committee. For eight
years Mr. Simon was a member of the
board of police commissioners of Portland.
Mr. Simon Is a gold-standard republican.

the presidency by the non-fusion wing of
the people's party at Cincinnati Sept. 6,
1898, was born in Philadelphia May 1, 1846.
He was graduated from the University of
Pennsylvania. In 1863 he took command
of a company of colored soldiers and
helped to enlist and organize the 2d United
States colored troops. In 1867 he became a
member of the banking flrm of Barker Bros.
& Co. In 1878 he was appointed by the Rus-
sian government as its agent and intrusted
with the building of four cruisers for its
navy, for which service he was decorated
with the order of St. Stanislaus by the
czar. In 1879 he was called to Russia to
consider the development of coal mines
north of the Azof. In 1887 he obtained val-
uable railroad, telegraph and telephone con-
cessions from China. In 1890 he failed in
business, but soon recovered himself. In
1869 he started the Penn Monthly, which, in
October, 1880, was merged with Weekly
Notes into the American, which he still
publishes. In 1881 he instituted the revolt
against the Cameron-Quay candidate for the
United Statos senate and led the inde-
pendent republican forces, which, with the
democrats, elected R. E. Pattison governor
of Pennsylvania. He supported Garfield,
Harrison and Blaine for the presidency, but
In 1896 he was one of Mr. Bryan's most act-
ive adherents. Since then he has allied
himself to the populist party, whose candi-
date he has become.

fusion wing of the people's party for the
vice-presidency, was born in Philadelphia

REAR ADMIRAL GEORGE DEWEY.
Rear-Admiral Dewey, "the hero of Manila
bay," was born in Montpclier, Vt., Dec. 26,
1837, and entered the naval academy in
September, 1854. Being graduated in 1858,
he was assigned to the frigate Wabash of
the European squadron, and remained in
Mediterranean waters until the outbreak of
the civil war. Returning to this country in
1861, he was detailed to the Mississippi, one
of the vessels in the West Gulf squadron,
serving in her until she was destroyed in
1863. It was during this time that the
squadron was engaged in the capture of
New Orleans. Commodore Dewey was then
a lieutenant. The Mississippi was under
command of Capt. Melancthon Smith, and
just as the end of the battle of New
Orleans appeared to be in sight the confed-
erate ram Manassas came down the river at
full speed to attack the union fleet. Ad-
miral Farragut directed the Mississippi to
turn and run her down. She obeyed, but
when within a few yards of the enemy the
Manassas turned and ran ashore. The Mis-
sissippi poured two broadsides into her and
sent her to the bottom of the river a total
wreck. The Mississippi, while trying to
run the batteries of Port Hudson on March
21, 1863, grounded and heeled to port. In
spite of the desperate efforts of the crew
she could not be saved. The enemy, get-
ting the range, poured shell after shell into
her hull, and Capt. Smith ordered her fired,
and the crew escaped in their boats. After
the destruction of the Mississippi Lieut.
Dewey was assigned to the steamboat Aga-
wam of the North Atlantic blockading fleet,
and. assisted in two attacks on Fort Fisher
— one in December, 1864. and the other Jan-
uary, 1865. On March 3. 1865, he was com-
missioned lieutenant-commander and served
on the old Kearsarge. At the close of the
civil war he went aboard the Colorado, the
flagship of the European squadron, and re-
mained on her until 1867. For two years
thereafter he did shore duty, being assigned
to the naval academy. He was next placed
in command of the Narragansett, in special
service, in 1870 and 1871, and was again as-
signed to shore duty a year later at the
torpedo station. He was made a command-
er on April 13, 1873, and was in charge of
the Narragansett on the Pacific survey until
1875, when he was appointed lighthouse in-

secretary of the board and retained that
post until 1882. In command of the Juniata
of the Asiatic squadron from 1882 to 1883,
he was promoted to a captaincy in Septem-
ber, 1884, commanding the Dolphin in the
same year. He was next transferred to the
Pensacola on the European station. In 1889
he was summoned to Washington to become
for four years the chief of the bureau of
equipment and recruiting, and that service
was succeeded by another detail to the
lighthouse board. From this duty he was
relieved to accept the presidency of the im-
portant board of Inspection and review,
which he held until, as a commodore, he
was sent November, 1897, to command the
Asiatic station. His victory In Manila bay
on the 1st of May, 1898, in which he sunk
the entire Spanish fleet without the loss of
a ship or a man. was one of the most thrill-
ing and dramatic events In the history of
naval warfare. Soon after he was made
rear-admiral and granted a sword by con-
gress.

born at Palmyra. N. Y., in 1840. His father
was a day laborer, and young Sampson used
to accompany him from farm to farm in
search of work. At the age of 17 he was
appointed a midshipman in the United
States naval academy at Annapolis. He
was graduated, first in his class, in 1861,
and was immediately sent aboard of the
frigate Potomac. Here he soon won his
lieutenancy. Sampson was executive officer
and stood on the bridge of the Patapsco
when she was blown up by a torpedo in
Charleston harbor, Jan. 16, 1865. Seventy
of the crew were drowned. In 1866 he was
promoted to a lieutenant-commander while
on the Colorado. From 1868 to 1871 he was
at the naval academy. The following two
years he was on the Congress, and in 1874,
having been made a commander, he was
assigned to the Alert. He returned to the
naval academy in 1876 and remained there
nearly three years. In 1879 he was in
China, commanding the Swatara. He was
chief of the bureau of ordnance from 1893 to
1897, and previous to that he was inspector
of ordnance at the Washington navy yard.
Since the formation of the new navy he has
commanded the Iowa and the San Francisco.
On account of his wide knowledge of tor-
pedoes, mines, etc., he was appointed presi-
dent of the Maine court of inquiry by Presi-
dent McKlnley. In April, 1898. he was pro-
moted to acting rear-admiral by the presi-
dent, succeeding Admiral Sicard, and was
appointed in command of the fleet operating
on the southeastern roast of Cuba and pio-
moted to the rank of rear-admiral. He was
in command of the fleet off Santiago until
the capitulation of the city.
REAR-ADMIRAL WINFIELD S. SCHLEY.
Rear-Admiral Sohley was born at Freder-
ick, Md., Oct. 9. 1S39. He entered the naval
academy in 1856, and was graduated in 1860.
He distinguished himself by coming out of
the academy as near the bottom of his
class as it was possible for him deliberately
to get. In 1860 he served on the Niagara,
which was sent to convoy the Japanese em-
bassy to their country. When the Niagara
returned and anchored off Boston, Capt.
McKean, the commander, drew his men up
on the deck and asked them to take the
oath of allegiance. Three of the middles
flatly refused. They were E. G. Read of
Virginia, who meant what he did, and
Thomas L. Swann and Winfield Scott
Schley, both of Maryland, who refused Just
because the others did. It is related that
McKean gave the boys a lecture, which
brought them to their senses. Whatever
truth there may be in the tale, there is
no doubt that young Schley made a gallant
officer and fought for the flag as valiantly
as any of the men who were with him in
the academy. That he did not win as high
return as others in the civil war was per-
haps due to the short participation he had
in the fighting. He was not out of the
naval academy two years when he was com-
missioned a lieutenant. Schley's most sig-
nal performance was his search for and
discovery of Greely in the frozen fast-
nesses of the north. Lieutenant, now Gen-
eral, Adolphus W. Greely went north with
his expedition in 18S1. Nothing had been
heard from him in two years, and late in
1883 talk was made of sending an expedi-
tion to relieve him. The then Commander
Schley volunteered his services as head of
the relieving expedition. The expedition
consisted of the Thetis and the Bear, the
Alert, kindly lent by the government of
Great Britain, and the Loch Larry, a sup-
ply ship. This fleet set sail April 23, 1884.
The ships plowed north and found the great
explorer and the remnant of his expedition.
The name of Schley must ever be associated
with that of Greely in the history of arctic
exploration. His career as it may be ob-

taiued from the records has him serving on
the Potomac after leaving the Niagara.
From the Potomac he went to the Winona,
then to the Monongahela, then to the sloop
Richmond. He was often under heavy fire.
From 1864 to 1866 he was executive officer
of the Wateree, Pacific squadron, which was
used to suppress the Insurrection of the
Chincha islands iu 1864. He then served in
the naval academy, in the Benicia and on
the Asiatic station. He saw Lieut. McKee
shot to death at his side in the attack on
the batteries of the Saler river, Korea, in
1871. From the dust and smoke of battle
lie was transferred to Annapolis to be
head of the academic department of modern
languages. He was commander of the Es-
sex, lighthouse inspector, recruiting officer
and then commander of the Greely relief
expedition. His work has won him two
gold medals, and Maryland presented him
with a gold chronometer for his rescue ot
Greely. In the war with Spain he was at-
tached to Sampson's command off Santiago,
and was in charge of the fleet of observa-
tion on the 3d of July when Cervera's fleet

nation (which meanwhile had been accepted
at Washington), and was restored to the
service. He was made ensign in 1863, and
went to the war. In an attack on Fort
Fisher he landed a force of seamen and
marines and was shot twice in the leg for
his pains. In another engagement, from

Valparaiso when Chile and this country
were biting thumbs at each other. The
Yorktown anchored directly before the bat-
teries. She was a poorly armored ship and
lightly armed. The bay was occupied by a
number of torpedo boats in practice, and as
the Yorktown was the only ship in the port
they used her for a point of attack. Capt.
Evans objected to being made a target of
and ordered his ship cleared for action.
The guns were loaded, the men ordered to
their posts and the captain's gig lowered.
He sought out the general of the city and
demanded that the bay be cleared of the tor-
pedo boats. It was done. Capt. Evans won
his name of "Fighting Bob" at Valparaiso.
Once the Spanish minister came aboard his
ship with two refugees. Evans fired a
salute in honor of the country he was late-
ly fighting. The Chileans severely criticised
this action, but so fierce was the Yankee
captain's denunciation of the business that
a stop was promptly put to further gossip
about the propriety of the salute. He has
hold his present rank since 1889, and his
first command in large ships was the mon-
ster Indiana in 1895. In the Spanish war

COL. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Theodore Roosevelt was born in New York
Oct 29, 1858, and was the son of Cornelius
Van Schaick Roosevelt, whose line goes
back to mediaeval times in Dutch history.
Young Roosevelt was graduated from Har-
vard in 1880. when 21 years old, and in the
following year was elected to the assembly
from New York city. During his- second
term he became the leader of the party in
the assembly. He served three terms in
the assembly, and since then has never held
an elective office. He was chairman of the
New York delegation to the national con-
vention which nominated Elaine for presi-
dent in 1884. He was opposed to Mr.
Elaine's nomination, but after he had failed
to prevent it he was hearty in support of
the candidate. In 1886 he was a candidate
for mayor of New York, but ran behind
both Hewitt (dern.) and Henry George
(single tax). He was appointed a member
of the civil-service commission by Presi-
dent Harrison and was retained by Presi-
dent Cleveland. He served until his ap-
pointment to the police commission of New
York city in 1895. His nomination as as-
sistant secretary of the navy was made by
President MeKinley on April 6, 1896. To
the vigor of his administration of this
office many naval officers ascribe no small
part of the nation's readiness for the war
with Spain. His insistence on target prac-
tice has been praised throughout the serv-
ice. On April 25, 1898, he accepted the offer
of a lieutenant-colonelcy in the 1st volun-
teer cavalry regiment, known as Roose-
velt's "rough riders," and served with great
distinction in the operations against San-
tiago. On the 27th of September, 1898, he
was nominated by the republicans of New
York as their candidate for governor.
Theodore Roosevelt is a writer and lecturer
of considerable renown. His "History of
the Naval War in 1812," lives of "Gouver-
neur Morris" and "Thomas H. Benton."
"The Hunting Trips of a Ranchman. " "Ranch
Life and the Hunting Trail," "The Wilder-
ness Hunter" and other works bear a high
reputation. His ability as a sportsman and
rancher are also well known and admired
by many who care but little for politics. In
November, 1898, he was elected by the re-
publicans governor of New York.
COL. JAMES A. SEXTON.
Col. Sexton, commander G. A. R., was
born In the city of Chicago on the 5th day
of January, 1844, and enlisted on the 19th
day of April, 1861, as a private soldier.
After three months' service he re-enlisted
In the 67th regiment Illinois infantry vol-
unteers, and was commissioned a first lieu-
tenant in company E. He was later trans-
ferred to the 72d regiment Illinois volun-
teers and was made captain of company D.
He served in Ransome's brigade, Mc-
Arthur's division, 17th army corps, of the
army of the Tennessee, and participated in
nearly all its campaigns, sieges and battles.
As a regimental commander he fought his
regiment in the battles of Columbia. Duck
River, Spring Hill, Franklin and Nashville,
and throughout the Nashville campaign. In
1865 he was assigned to duty on the staff of
Maj.-Gen. A. J. Smith, the commander of
the 16th army corps, and remained with
Smith until the end of the war, when he
was honorably discharged from the service
in August, 1865. Upon the assault and cap-
ture of the Spanish fort, Mobile, Ala., April
8, 1865, he had his left leg broken below
the knee by a piece of shell. He was
slightly wounded at the battle of Franklin
and painfully wounded at the battle ot
Nashville. After the war he remained two
years in Alabama, working a plantation he
had purchased near the city of Montgomery.
In 1867 he returned to Chicago and founded
the firm of J. A. & T. S. Sexton. In 1872,
after the Chicago fire, this firm was suc-
ceeded by Cribben. Sexton & Co., and is
still in business. President Harrison made
him postmaster of Chicago in April, 1889.
He was retained by President Cleveland
untill he resigned, Jan. 1. 1895. He is an
active worker in the Grand Army, the Mil-
itary Order of the Loyal Legion and other
soldier and army societies. He is a past
commander of the department of Illinois,

dent of the board of trustees of the Illinois

Besides these there are government reser-

Washington and Wisconsin. Upon the sub-

children in the public schools of the country

with much success. Last year (1897) there was
a decrease of 100 pupils from the previous
year, and this year's (1898) report also shows a
small decrease. Although the contract rate
of $10 per capita a quarter on the average
attendance was thought sufficiently stimula-
ting to induce the public-school authorities to
increase the number of these Indian scholars,
the experiment has not been the success an-
ticipated. More decided efforts will be ex-
erted dur ng the fiscal year 1899 and the value
and practicability of the system fully tested."

THE TREATY WITH. SPAIN.
[Continued from page 120.]
The terms of the treaty of peace between
the United States and Spain as it has been
formulated by the joint commission of the
two countries at the Paris conference will
not be known in all its details until after
this volume has been issued. Enough is
known, however, to indicate with reason-
able certainty what Spain will yield and
what obligations the United States will as-
sume. It was semi-offlcially reported from
Paris on the 13th of December that the
treaty had been drawn and that all its es-
sential features had been accepted by the
commissioners of both countries. The vari-
ous sections of the treaty provide as follows :
Article 1 provides for the relinquishment
of Cuba.
Article 2 provides for the cession of
Puerto Rico.
Article 3 provides for the cession of the
Philippines for $20,000,000 as compensation.
Article 4 embraces the plans for the ces-
sion of the Philippines, including the return
of Spanish prisoners in the hands of the
Tagalos.
Article 5 deals with the cession of bar-
racks, war materials, arms, stores, build-
ings and all property appertaining to the
Spanish administration in the Philippines.
Article 6 is a renunciation by both nations
of their respective claims against each other
and the citizens of each other.
Article 7 grants to Spanish trade and ship-
ping in the Philippines the same treatment
as American trade and shipping for a period
of ten years.
Article 8 provides for the release of all
prisoners of war held by Spain, and of all
prisoners held by her for political offenses
committed in the colonies acquired by the
United States.
Article 9 guarantees the legal rights of
Spaniards remaining in Cuba.
Article 10 establishes religious freedom
in the Philippines and guarantees to all
churches equal rights.
Article 11 provides for the composition of
courts and other tribunals in Puerto Rico
and Cuba.
Article 12 provides for the administration
of justice in Puerto Rico and Cuba.
Article 13 provides for the continuance for
five years of Spanish copyrights in the
ceded territories, giving [Spanish books ad-
mittance free of duty.
Article 14 provides for the establishment
of consulates by Spain in the ceded terri-
tories.
Article 15 grants to Spanish commerce In
Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines the
same treatment as to Americans for ten
years, Spanish shipping to be treated as
coasting vessels.
Article 16 stipulates that the obligations
of the United States to Spanish citizens and
property In Cuba shall terminate with the
withdrawal of the United States authorities
from the island.
Article 17 provides that the treaty must
be ratified within six months from the date
of signing by the respective governments In
order to be binding.
The signing of this treaty on the 10th of
December, 1898, took place 233 days after
the ultimatum given Spain was adopted by
congress, on the 19th of April, 1898. The
last act of the war was the surrender of
Manila on the 15th of August. The peace
commission met Oct. 1, 1898. and in forty-
one days the treaty of peace was completed
for presentation to the senate of the United
States and the cortes of Spain for ratifica-
tion.

ZIONISM.
THE JEWISH MOVEMENT TOWARD PALESTINE.
(By Leon Zolotkoff.)
"Ziomlsm" is a word of very recent coin-
age, but the Idea It conveys is as old as the
Jewish people. Etymologically "Zion"
means in Hebrew an object of prominence,
of distinction, also a monument. Topo-
graphically it was formerly used to des-
ignate an elevation centrally located in the
old city of Jerusalem and known as the
"City of David," the place being dis-
tinguished by the most important national
structures — the citadel of David and royal
residences having been erected there. As Je-
rusalem was the heart of the Jewish state,
so Zion was the heart of Jerusalem. "Zion"
and "Jerusalem" gradually became synony-
mous and Interchangeable nouns. "For out
of Zion shall go forth the law and the word
of the Lord from Jerusalem" is one of the
many parallelisms, so characteristic of the
scriptures, in which these two nouns are
symmetrically placed as synonyms. In the
time of the prophets the conception of Zion
broadened considerably and became sym-
bolic of nation, country, state and religion
all combined. In this sense the word "Zion"
has been applied by the Psalmists, by the
bards of the second Jewish empire, by the
originators of the vast post-biblical litera-
ture, by the men of the great synagogue, by
the authors and compilers of the rich Jew-
ish liturgy and by the neo-Hebraic authors,
poets and "elegists" of the middle ages.
Modern Hebrew authors of our days employ
the noun "Zion" in the same sense. Thus
"Zionism" represents the national Idea in
Judaism, or, in other words, it is Judaism
in the consciousness of its racial traditions
and national importance. It has always
represented and it still represents the mani-
festations, all the aspirations of the Jew-
ish people, and all that which characterizes
a nation in its entirety.
When Israel was in its infancy the na-
tional idea manifested itself in the narrow
form of clannishness and tribal secluslve-
ness, but with the material and spiritual
growth of the people during the centuries
of their national existence the national
idea broadened and deepened until it
assumed the shape of a message to the
world. The recognition of the unity of God
I by all nations and the ultimate establish-
ment of the reign of justice and righteous-
ness on earth were Ihe principal features of
that message. Hut while the great seers
in Israel were dreaming of the triumphs
of the human race, of universal peace, of
achievement sublime and noble, Zion — not
the spiritual Zion. which is a latter-day in-
vention, but the real Zion — was to them the
source whence all those glorious develop-
ments were to emanate. [Under the most
trying and despairing conditions of the peo-
ple they were proclaiming their hope of
seeing the nation free and independent.
They never admitted the possibility of
Israel's disappearance as a nation. This
kindling love for the nation and the en-
thusiasm for the country may perhaps ac-
count for the almost superhuman endurance
and for the persistence manifested by the
Jewish people in their unequal struggle
against world-conquering Rome.
With the destruction of the Jewish state
the hold which Zion had upon the minds and
hearts of the nation became still stronger.
The active heroism of the people had been
crushed, after hundreds of thousands ot
brave Jewish warriors had fallen on the
battlefields, victims of their loyalty to Zion,
but their national hope remained unim-
paired. The brutal clearing of Palestine
of its Jewish inhabitants by the Romans
had only increased the yearning of the Jews
for their home, and that yearning seems to
have increased in intensity as the centuries
were rolling by. Their hearts were aching
while they remembered their land, their
cities and their mountains long after the
downfall of Rome.
From the depth of their sorrow a stream
of national poetry sprang forth, which per-

(White, with two blue stripes, the field bearing

vaded every fiber of their material and
spiritual life, and their very existence be-
came an incessant longing for the restora-
tion of Zion. That longing was the key-
note to their dully prayers and of their
songs, it was their only thought and dream.
In the earlier part of the twelfth century
"Zionides" were composed by Rabbi Jehu-
dah Halevi of Toledo, of whom Heine said:
"His songs were a pillar of fire that pre
ceded Israel in the wilderness of its exile.'
A faint idea of them may be conveyed by
the following*:
"O city of the world. beautiful and majestic,
For thee I long from distant western home.
•From Hecht's Post-Biblical History.
ZIONISM.
309
O that on eagle's wings to thee I might
come nigh;
That with my tearful face I could but
touch thy dust!
Though kiugless, crownless now, yet do 1
yearn for thee;
Though serpents vile be now where erst
sweet honey flowed,
O could I kiss thy dust or tread thy
ground •
I'd ask no more; my longing would be
stilled."
But the fervor spent by the expatriated
Jew in prayer and song failed to reduce his
longing for the material restoration of Zion.
Time and again had Jews in the dark ages
attempted to settle in Palestine, but owing
to the incessant strifes and the bloody strug-
gles which had been raging in that country
such efforts almost invariably ended in dis-
aster. Small Jewish communities had sprung
up in the several old cities of the holy land,
but the sword without and the terror within
had destroyed them. They had fallen vic-
tims of their souls' longing.
About 700 years ago 300 rabbis emigrated
from France and England to Palestine for
the purpose of strengthening the Jewish com-
munities in the holy land. Nachmanides
(1195-1270)' had reorganized the partly de-
stroyed community of Jerusalem, while at
the same time another Jewish community had
been started in Saffed. With the establish-
ment of Turkish rule in Palestine the exist-
ence of Jewish communities there became
possible, but not free from persecution. Only
since 1812 has the emigration of Jews to the
holy land assumed a steady flow, but the
nature of such emigration Is purely reli-
gious. The only object In the view of such
emigrants was to devote the rest of their
lives to the study of the Talmud and to the
service of God, and to subsist on the moneys
sent there for their support by their core-
ligionists in other countries. In the course
of this century the Jewish population In Je-
rusalem, Tiberias, Hebron and Saffed has
grown considerably, but the evils of indo-
lence and pauperism have grown with them.
In 1856 the first daring attempt was made
to carry culture to the Jews of the holy city
and the first European school for Jewish
boys was then established. Of a still greater
revolutionary character was the founding of
the agricultural school, "Mikweh Israel"
(Hope of Israel), by Cremleux, in 1870.
That remarkable move on the part of the
founder of the "Alliance Israelite," though
undertaken without any apparent Intention
of fostering the national idea of the Jews,
had the effect of fanning into a blaze the
spark of national feeling that was lying dor-
mant in the breast of the Jewish masses.
The latter always remain faithful to the
spirit of traditional Judaism regardless alike
of schisms within their ranks and of perse-
cution from without. In the eastern Euro-
pean countries, particularly in Russia, many
organizations of "Hov've Zion" (Friends of
Zion) sprang up and an effective though
aimless Zionistic propaganda was inaugu-
rated. Then came the memorable reign of
Alexander III., when the most barbarous
atrocities were committed daily against the
.Tows, almost under the direction of the
police; and thousands of intelligent Jews,
who, following the example of the so-called
reformed Judaism, had long before read
the Jewish national idea out of ex-
istence, hastened to join the ranks of the
"Zion friends." Then it was that the first
attempts to properly colonize the holy land
were inaugurated. A number of Jewish young
men, mostly university students and skillful
mechanics, resolved to be the pioneers of
their people in their national cause, and
under the most trying difficulties and amid
a skeptical world, which predicted all kinds
of disastrous failures, they proceeded to
Palestine, about eighteen years ago, and
started to work as common "farm hands"
on a tract of land, which was the property
of Baron Rothschild, sticking to the hoe and
tilling the ground in competition with the
fellahs, whose needs in life are exceedingly
limited. They succeeded in satisfying them-
selves and the world about them that the
land of Palestine was not barren, and that
the Jews could be turned into skilled agri-
culturists who thoroughly understood their
vocation. Their example was soon followed
by others and gradually several colonies were
successfully established. Millions of money
and a vast amount of energy were wasted
in the great experiment, but the result Is,
nevertheless, absolutely satisfactory. The
wimes, fruits and other products of the Jew-
ish colonies have already acquired a certain
degree of fame on the European markets and
many of the settlements are self-sustaining.

In 1882, Immediately after the first out-
break of anti-Jewish excesses In Russia,
there appeared a pamphlet entitled "Auto-
Emancipation," by Dr. Pinsker, an Odessa
physician. It had for a motto the saying of
Hillel: "If I will not do for myself, who
will?" This little work stood out' prominent-
ly In the whole mass of literature on the so-
called "Jewish question" in Europe in those
days. For the first time In centuries, per-
haps, the activity of an Independent Jewish
spirit became perceptible. "Help yourself
and God will help you!" was the basic Idea
of that little book; the goal, however, for
which the Jewish people were to strive was,
according to the author, not their "holy"
land, but their "own land." He cared little
'or not at all where such land might be
found, provided it were found. While he rec-
ognized the hopelessness of the condition of
the vast population of his people who are
the victims of persecution and saw their
ooly salvation in a great national effort, he
at the same time ignored to a great extent
the latent forces of a common history, of
common traditions and religion. The "Auto-
Emancipation," by Dr. Pinsker, was soon
supplemented by another work In Hebrew
entitled "Arukath-bath-Ami" (The Cure of
My People), from the pen of a highly learned,
popular, charitable and venerable German
rabbi, Dr. J. Rulf, who very ably demon-
strated that only the holy land can be the
Jews' own land.
In this spirit resolutions were adopted by
a very timid assembly of delegates from
various "Hov've Zion" associations, which
was convened In November. 1884, at the rown
of Kattowltz, Prussia. A short time there-
after a society of Jewish university students
and academicians was formed In Vienna
under the name of "Kadimah" (Forward)
and to It the Palestinian movement owes its
modern name of "Zionism." Similar or-
ganizations sprang Into existence In almost
every university of Europe where Jewish
students were matriculated In sufficient
numbers. The greater part of the Jewish
press became Zlonlstlc In its tendency, ani
new Zlonistic periodicals of every kind and
description were greatly multiplied.
Then all of a sudden the Zionistic move-
ment experienced an Impetus from an almost
unexpected quarter. Out of the ranks of
the so-called emancipated Jewry of western
Europe, where for half a century the tend-
ency to cast off every distinction of a Jew-
ish nationality manifested itself strongly, a
champion for the Jewish national cause
stepped forward In the person of Dr. Theo-
dor Herzl, journalist and playwright. Al-
most a stranger to his own people and to
their hopes and aspirations, but moved sole-
ly by sympathy at the depth of their misery,
he undertook to solve the Jewish problem—
on paper.at least. Owing to his keen insight
Into the political and economical affairs of
the world and the Intuition of an able publi-
cist, he arrived at th» same conclusions
which others had reached by their national
instinct. He placed his ideas before the pub-
lic in a book entitled "Judenstaat," which
was published about five years ago and at-
tracted the attention of the civilized world.
In It he urged self-help on the people, thus
utilizing their national feeling, and, at the
same time, sought to Impress upon the
world outside of Judaism that the powers
would be greatly benefited by a solution of
the vexed Jewish question through their na-
tional restoration to their old, historical
home. Dr. Herzl was carried so far by
his ideas that he made the cause of
his people the object of his life and
continued — and still continues — to work
unremittingly In that direction. Another
champion of Zionism — of a similar type,
but still more unexpected — appeared In
the person of Dr. Max Nordau. one of the
keenest-minded and most brilliant men In
Europe, and the possessor of extraordinary
powers both as an orator and as a writer.
These two men soon formed the center of a
large circle of bright and intelligent men all
over Europe and In various walks of life,
who took up the Zionistic agitation in their
respective countries.
Their endeavors have culminated thus far
in the two Zionistic congresses held in Kasie,
Switzerland, in August, 1897, and in August.
1898. respectively. The programme adopted
by the first congress is as follows:
"The aim of Zionism Is to create for the
Jewish people a publicly, legally assured
home in Palestine.
"In order to attain this object the con-
gress adopts the following means:
"1. To promote the settlement In Pales-
tine of Jewish agrlcalturists. handicrafts-
men, industrialists and men following pro-
fessions.
"2. The centralization of the Jewish peo-
ple by means of general institutions agree-
ably to the laws of the land.
"3. To strengthen Jewish sentiments and
national self-conscience.
"4. To obtain the sanction of governments
to the carrying out of the objects of Zion-
ism."
As one of the means to the end for which
the Zionists are striving the first congress
proposed the establishment of a Jewish colo-
nial bank, which would serve the purpose by
the concentration and economical consolida-
tion of Jewish capital and Jewish productive
powers In one land, namely in Syria and Pal-
estine. The second congress showed a con-
siderable progress of the scheme and an-
nounced that the bank would commence op-
erations with a capital stock of $10.000.000
in London before the expiration of one year.
The capital is being raised by a popular sub-
scription. The par value of each share is fl.
The latest information regarding the Zion-
istic movement justifies the assumption tnat
this last section of its programme also is re-
ceiving due attention on the part of the
leaders, whose efforts, thus far, have met
with considerable success.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT.
DESTRUCTION OF THE MAINE.
On the 28th of March, 1898, the president
sent the following message to congress:
To the Congress of the United States:
For some time prior to the visit of the
Maine to Havana harbor our consular rep-
resentatives pointed out the advantages to
flow from the visit of national ships to the
Cuban waters, in accustoming the people to
the presence of our flag as the symbol of
good will and of our ships in the fulflllment
of the mission of protection to American
interests, even though no immediate need
therefor might exist.
Accordingly, on J? n. 24 last, after confer-
ence with the Spanish minister, in which
the renewal of visits of our war vessels to
Spanish waters was discussed and accepted,
the peninsular authorities at Madrid and
Havana were advised of the purpose of this
government to resume friendly naval visits
at Cuban ports, and that in that view the
Maine would forthwith call at the port of
Havana. This announcement was received
by the Spanish government with apprecia-
tion of the friendly character of the visit
of the Maine, and with notification of in-
tention to return the courtesy by sending
Spanish ships to the principal ports of the
United States. Meanwhile the Maine en-
tered the port of Havana on Jan. 25, her
arrival being marked with no special inci-
dent besides the exchange of customary and
ceremonial visits.
The Maine continued in the harbor of Ha-
vana during the three weeks following her
arrival. No appreciable excitement at-
tended her stay. On the contrary, a feeling
of relief and confidence followed the re-
sumption of the long interruption of
friendly intercourse. So noticeable was this
immediate effect of her visit that the con-
sul-general strongly urged that the presence
of our ships in Cuban waters should be
kept up by retaining the Maine at Havana
or in the event of her recall by sending an-
other vessel there to take her place.
At 9:40 in the evening of Feb. 15 the Maine
was destroyed by an explosion, by which
the entire forward part of the cabin was
utterly wrecked. In this catastrophe two
officers and 258 of her crew perished, those
who were not killed outright by her explo-
sion being penned between decks by the
tangle of wreckage and drowned by the im-
mediate sinking of the hull. Prompt as-
sistance was rendered by the neighboring
vessels anchored in the harbor, aid being es-
pecially given by the boats of the Spanish
cruiser Alfonso XII. and the Ward line
steamer City of Washington, which lay not
far distant. The wounded were generously
cared for by the authorities of Havana, the
hospitals being freely opened to them,
while the earliest recovered bodies of the
dead were interred by the municipality in a
public cemetery in the city. Tributes of
grief and sympathy were offered from all
official quarters of the island.
The appalling calamity fell upon the peo-
ple of our country with crushing force, and
for a brief time an intense excitement pre-
vailed, which in a community less just and
self-controlled than ours might have led to
hasty acts of blind resentment. This spirit,
however, soon gave way to tin- calmer
Processes of reason and to the resolve to
ivestigate the facts and await the mate-
rial proof before forming a judgment as to
the cause, the responsibility, and, if the
facts warranted, the remedy due. This
course necessarily recommended itself from
the outset to the executive, for only in the
light of a dispassionately ascertained cer-
tainty could it determine the nature and
measure of its full duty in the matter.
The usual procedure was followed as in
all cases of casualty or disaster to national
vessels of any maritime state. A naval
court of inquiry was at once organized,
composed of officers well qualified by rank
and practical experience to discharge the
onerous duty imposed upon them. Aided by
a strong force of wreckers and divers, the
court proceeded to make a thorough investi-
gation on the spot, employing every availa-
ble means for the impartial and exact de-
termination of the causes of the explosion.
Its operations have been conducted with the
utmost deliberation and judgment, and
while independently pursued no source of
information was neglected and the fullest
opportunity was allowed for a simultane-
ous investigation by the Spanish authorities.
The finding of the court of inquiry was
reached, after twenty-three days of continu-
ous labor, on the 21st of March inst.. and,
having been approved on the 22d by the
commander-in-chief of the United States
naval force on the North Atlantic station,
was transmitted to the executive.
It is herewith laid before the congress, to-
gether with the voluminous testimony
taken before the court. Its purport is, In
brief, as follows:
"When the Maine arrived at Havana she
was conducted by the regular government
pilot to buoy No. 4, to which she was
moored in from five and one-half to six
fathoms of water. The state of discipline
on board and the condition of her maga-
zines, boilers, coal bunkers and storage
compartments are passed in review, with
the conclusion that excellent order pre-
vailed and that no indication of any cause
for an internal explosion existed in any
quarter.
"At 8 o'clock in the evening of Feb. 15
everything had been reported secure and
all was quiet.
"At forty minutes past 9 the vessel was
suddenly destroyed.
"There were two distinct explosions,
with a brief interval between them. The
first lifted the forward part of the ship very
perceptibly: the second, which was more
prolonged, is attributed by the court to the
partial explosion of two or more of the for-
ward magazines.
"The evidence of the divers establishes
that the after part of the ship was prac-
tically intact and sunk in that condition a
very few minutes after the explosion. The
forward part was completely demolished.
"Upon the evidence of concurrent ex-
ternal cause the finding of the court is as
follows:
"At frame 17 the outer shell of the ship,
from a point eleven and one-half feet from
the middle line of the ship and six feet
above the keel when in its normal position,
has been forced up so as to be now about
four feet above the surface of the water:
therefore, about thirty-four feet above
where it would be had the ship sunk unin-
jured.
"The outside bottom plating is bent Into
a reversed 'V* shape, the after wing of
MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT.
313
which, about fifteen feet broad and thirty-
two feet in length (from frame 17 to frame
25), is doubled back upon itself, against tlie
continuation of the same plating extending
forward.
"At frame 18 the vertical keel Is broken
in two and keel bent Into an angle similar
to the angle formed for the outside plates.
This break is about six feet below the sur-
face of the water and about thirty feet
above Its normal position.
"In the opinion of the court this effect
could have been produced only by the ex-
plosion of a mine situated under the bottom
of the ship, at about frame 18. and some-
what on the port side of the ship.
"The conclusions of the court are: That
the loss of the Maine was not In any respect
due to fault or negligence on the part of
any of the officers or members of her crew.
"That the ship was destroyed by the ex-
plosion of a submarine mine, which caused
the partial explosion of two or more of
her forward magazines; and.
"That no evidence has been obtainable
fixing the responsibility for the destruction
of the Maine upon any person or persons."
I have directed that the finding of the
court of inquiry and the views of the gov-
ernment thereon be communicated to the
government of her majesty the queen, and
I do not permit myself to doubt that the
sense of justice of the Spanish nation will
dictate a course of action suggested by
honor and the friendly relations of the two
governments.
It was the duty of the executive to ad-
vise the congress of the result, and in the
meantime deliberate consideration is in-
voked. WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
Executive Mansion, March 28, 1898.
THE WAR MESSAGE.
To the Congress of the United States:
Obedient to that precept of the constitution
which commands' the president to give from
time to time the congress information of the
state of the union and to recommend to their
consideration such measures as he shall
judge necessary and expedient, It becomes
my duty now to address your body with re-
gard to the grave crisis that has arisen, in
the relations of the United States to Spain
by reason of the warfare that for more than
three years has raged In the neighboring isi-
land of Cuba.
I do so because of the Intimate connection
of the Cuban question with the state of our
own union and the grave relation the course
which it is now incumbent upon the nation
to adopt must needs bear to the traditional
policy of our government if it is to accord
with the precepts laid down by the founders
of the republic and religiously observed by
succeeding administrations to the present
day.
The recent revolution is but the successor
of other similar insurrections which have
occurred in Cuba against the dominion of
Spain, extending over a period of nearly half
a century, each of which, during its prog-
ress, has subjected the United States to
great effort and expense in enforcing Its
neutrality laws, caused enormous losses to
the American trnde and commerce, caused
irritation, annoyance and disturbance among
our citizens, and, by the exercise of cruel,
barbarous and uncivilized prncldces of war-
fare, shocked the sensibilities and offended
the humane sympathies of our p'-oplo.
Since the present revolution began, in Feb-
ruary, 1895, this country has seen the fertile
domain at our threshold ravaged by fire and
sword in the course of a struggle unequaled
In the history of the island and rarely paral-
leled as to the number of the combatants
and 'the bitterness of the contest by any
revolution of modem times where a de-
pendent people, striving to be free, have
been opposed by the power of the sovereign
state.
Our people have beheld a once prosperous
community reduced to comparative want, Its
commerce virtually paralyzed, its exception-
al productiveness diminished, its fields laid
waste, its mills in ruins and its people per-
ishing by tens of thousands from hunger and
destitution.
We have found ourselves constrained, in
the observance of that strict neutrality
which our laws enjoin and which the law of
nations commands, to police our own waters
and watch our own seaports in prevention
of any unlawful! act In aid of the Cubans;
Our trade has suffered; the capital In-
vested by our cHizens in Cuba bias been
largely lost, and the temper and forbearance
of our people have been so sorely tried as to
beget a perilous unrest among our own citi-
zens, which has inevitably f-jund its expres-
sion from time to time in the national legis-
lature, so that issues wholly external to our
own body politic engross- attention and stand
in the way of that close devotion to domes-
tic advancement that becomes a self-con-
tented commonwealth, whose primal maxim
has been the avoidance of all foreign en-
tanglements.
All this must needs awaken and has in-
deed aKmsed the utmost concern on the part
of this government, as* well during my pred-
ecessor's administration as my own.
In April, 1896, the evils from which our
country suffered through the Cuban war be-
came so onerous that my predecessor made
an effort to bring about a peace through
the mediation of this government in any
way that might tend to an honorable ad-
justment of the contest between Spain and
her revolted colony on the basis of some
effective scheme of self-government for Cuba
under the flag and sovereignty of Spain, It
failed through the refusal of the Spanish
government then in power to consider any
form of mediation, or, indeed, any plan of
settlement which did not begin with the
actual submission of the insurgents to the
mother country, and then only on such
terms as Spain herself might see fit to
grant.
The war continued unabated. The resist-
ance of the insurgents was In nowise dimin-
ished.
The efforts of Spain were increased, both
by the dispatch of fresh levies to Cuba
and by the addition to the horrors of the
strife of a new and Inhuman phase happily
unprecedented in the modern history of
civilized Christian peoples.
The policy of devastation and concentra-
tion inaugurated by the captain-general's
order of Oct. 21, 1896, in the province of
Pinar del Rio, was thence extended to em-
brace all of the island to which the power
of the Spanish arms was able to reach by
occupation or by military operations.
The peasantry, including all dwelling in
the open agricultural interior, were driven
into the girrison towns or isolated places
held by the troops. The raising and move-
ment of provisions of all kinds were Inter-
dicted. The fields were laid waste, dwell-

ings unroofed and fired, mills destroyed,
and, In short, everything that could desolate
the land and render it unfit for human
habitation or support was commanded by
one OP the other of the contending parties,
and executed by all tihe powers at their dis-
posal.
By the time the present administration
took office, a year ago, reconcentration — so
called — had been made effective over the
better part of the four central and western
provinces — Santa Clara, Matanzas, Havana
and Piuar del Rio. The agricultural popu-
lation, to the estimated number of 300,000 or
more, was herded within the towns and their
immediate vicinage, deprived of the means
of support, rendered destitute of shelter,
left poorly clad and exposed to the most un-
sanitary conditions.
As the scarcity of food increased with the
devastation of the depopulated areas of pro-
duction, destitution and want became misery
and starvation. Month by month the death
rate increased in an alarming ratio.
By March, 1897, according to conservative
estimates from official Spanish sources, the
mortality among the reconcentrados from
starvation and the diseases thereto incident
exceeded 50 per centum of their total num-
ber.
No practical relief was accorded to the
destitute. The overburdened towns, already
suffering from the general dearth, could give
no aid. So-called zones of cultivation, es-
tablished within the immediate area of ef-
fective military control about the cities and
fortified camps, proved illusory as a remedy
for the suffering. The unfortunates, being
for the most part women and children, wiih
aged and helpless men enfeebled by disease
and hunger, could not have tilled the soil
without tools, seed or shelter for their own
support or for the supply of the cities.
Reconcentration, adopted avowedly as a
war measure In order to cut off the resources
of the insurgents, worked Its predestined
result. As 1 said In my message of last
December, it was not civilized warfare; it
WBS extermination. The only peace it could
beget was that of the wilderness and the
grave.
Meanwhile the military situation In the
island had undergone a noticeable change.
The extraordinary activity that character-
ized the second year of the war, when the
insurgents invaded even the hitherto un-
harmed fields of Pinar del Rio and carried
havoc and destitution up to the walls of the
city of Havana itself, had relapsed into a
dogged struggle in the central and eastern
provinces. The Spanish arms regained a
measure of control in Pinar del Rio and
parts of Havana, but under the existing con-
ditions of the rural country without imme-
diate improvement of their productive situa-
tion.
Even thus partially restricted the revolu-
tionists held their own, and their submis-
sion, put forward by Spain as the essential
and sole basis of peace, seemed as far dis-
tant as at the outset.
In this state of affairs my administration
found itself confronted with the grave prob-
lem of its duty. My message of last De-
cember reviewed the situation and detailed
the steps taken with a view of relieving its
acuteness nnd opening the way to some form
of honorable settlement.
The assassination of the prime minister,
Canovas. led to a change of government in
Spain. The former administration, pledged
to subjugation, without concession, gave
place to that of a more liberal party, com-
mitted long in advance to a policy of reform
involving the wider principle of home rule
for Cuba and Pue*to Rico.
The overtures of this government, made
through its new envoy, Gen, Woodford, and
looking to an immediate and effective
amelioration of the condition of the island,
although not accepted to the extent of ad-
mitted mediation in any shape, were met by
assurances that home rule, in an advanced
phase, would be forthwith offered to Cuba
without waiting for the war to end, and
that more humane methods should thence-
forth prevail in the conduct of hostilities.
Incidentally with these declarations the
new government of Spain continued and
completed the policy already begun by its
predecessor of testifying friendly regard for
this nation by releasing American citizens
held under one charge or another connected
with the Insurrection, so that by the end of
November not a single person entitled in any
way to our national protection remained in
a Spanish prison.
While these negotiations were in progress
the increasing destitution of the unfortunate
reconcentrados and the alarming mortality
among them claimed earnest attention. The
success which had attended the limited
measure of relief extended to the suffering
American citizens among them by the judi-
cious expenditure through the consular
agencies of the money appropriated express-
ly for their succor by the joint resolution
a'pproved May 24, 1897, prompted the hu-
mane extension of a similar scheme of aid
to this end and was acquiesced in by the
Sipanish authorities.
On the 24th of December last I caused to
be issued an appeal to the American people,
Inviting contributions in money or in kind
for the succor of the starving sufferers in
Cuba, following this on. the 8th of January
by a similar public announcement of the
formation of a central Cuban relief commit-
tee, with headquarters in New York city,
composed of three members representing the
American National Red CTOSS and the relig-
ious and business elements of the commu-
nity.
The efforts of that committee have been
untiring and accomplished much. Arrange-
ments for free transportation to Cuba have
greatly aided the charitable work. The
president of the American Red Cross and
representatives of other contributory organ-
izations have generously visited Cuba and
co-operated with the consul-general and the
local authorities to make effective distribu-
tion of the relief collected through the ef-
forts of the central committee.
Nearly $200,000 in money and supplies has
already reached the sufferers, and more is
forthcoming. The supplies are admitted
duty free, and transportation to the interior
has been arranged, so that the relief, at
first necessarily confined to Havana and the
larger cities, is now extended through most
if not all of the towns where suffering ex-
ists. Thousands of lives have already been
saved.
The necessity for a change in the condi-
tion of the reconcentrados is recognized by
the Spanish government. Within a few
days past the orders of Gen. Weyler have
been revoked; the reconcentrados are, it is
said, to be permitted to return to their
homes and aided to resume the self-sup-
porting pursuits of peace; public works

have been ordered to give them employ-
ment, and B sum of $600,000 has been ap-
propriated for their relief.
The war in Cuba is of such B nature that
short of subjugation or extermination a
final military victory for either side seems
impracticable. The alternative lies in the
physical exhaustion of the one or the other
party, or perhaps of both — a condition which
in effect ended the ten yea?s war by the
truce of /anjoii. The prospect of such a
protraction and conclusion of the present
strife is a contingency hardly to be con-
templated with equanimity by the civilized
world, and least of all by the United States,
affected and injured as we are, deeply nnd
intimately, by its very existence.
Realizing this, it appeared to be my duty,
in a spirit of true friendliness no less to
Spain than to the Cubans, who have so
much to lose by the prolongation of the
struggle, to seek to being about an im-
mediate termination of the wur. To this
end 1 submitted, on the 27th ult., as a re-
sult of much representation and correspond-
ence, through the United States minister at
Madrid, propositions to the Spanish govern-
ment looking to an armistice until Oct 1 for
the negotiation of peace with the good
offices of the president.
In addition, I asked the immediate revo-
cation of the order of reconcentration, so as
to permit the people to return to their farms
and the needy to be relieved with provisions
and supplies from the United States, co-
operating with the Spanish authorities so
as to afford full relief.
The reply of the Spanish cabinet was re-
ceived on the night of the 31st ult. It of-
fers, as the means to bring about peace in
Cuba, to confide the preparation thereof to
the insular department, inasmuch as the
concurrence of that body would be neces-
sary to reach a final result, it being, how-
ever, understood that the powers reserved
by the constitution to the central govern-
ment are not lessened or diminished.
As the Cuban parliament does not meet
until the 4th of May next, the Spanish gov-
ernment would not object, for its part, to
accept at once a suspension of hostilities if
asked for by the insurgents from the gen-
eral-in-chief, to whom it would pertain, in
such case, to determine the duration and
conditions of the armistice.
The propositions submitted by Gen. Wood-
ford and the reply of the Spanish govern-
ment were both in the form of brief memo-
randa, the texts of which are before me,
und are substantially in the language above
given. The function of the Cuban parlia-
ment in the matter of "preparing" peace
and the manner of its doing so are not ex-
pressed in the Spanish memorandum, but
from Gen. Woodford's explanatory reports
of preliminary discussions preceding the
final conference it is understood that the
Si«nnish government stands ready to give
the insular congress full powers to settle
the terms of peace with the insurgents,
whether by direct negotiation or indirectly
by means of legislation does not appear.
With this lest overture In the direction of
immediate peace and its disappointing re-
ception by Spain, the executive was brought
to the end of his effort.
In my annual message of December last I
said:
"Of the untried measures there remain:
Recognition of the insurgents as belliger-
ents, recognition of the independence of
Cuba, neutral intervention to end the war
by imposing a rational compromise between
the contestants, and intervention In favor of
one or the other party. I speak not of forci-
ble annexation, for that cannot be thought
of. That, by our code of morality, would be
criminal aggression."
Thereupon I reviewed these alternatives
in the light of President Grant's measured
words, uttered in 1875, when after seven
years of sanguinary, destructive and cruel
barbarities in Cuba he reached the conclu-
sion that the recognition of the independ-
ence of Cuba was impracticable and in-
defensible, and that the recognition of bel-
ligerence was not warranted by the facts,
according to the tests of public law. I
commented especially upon the latter aspect
of the question, pointing out the incon-
veniences and positive dangers of a recogni-
tion of belligerency, which, while adding to
the already onerous burdens of neutrality
within our own jurisdiction, could not in
any way extend our influence or effective
offices in the territory of hostilities.
Nothing has since occurred to change my
view in this regard, end I recognize as fully
now as then that the issuance of a procla-
mation of neutrality, .by which process the
so-called recognition of belligerence is pub-
lished, could of itself and unattended by
other action accomplish nothing toward the
one end for which we labor, the instant
pacification of Cuba and the cessation of the
misery that afflicts the island.
Turning to the question of recognizing at
this time the independence of the present
insurgent government in Cuba, we find safe
precedents in our history from an early day.
They are well summed up in President Jack-
son's message to congress Dec. 21, 1836, on
the subject of the recognition of the inde-
pendence of Texas. He said:
"In all the contests that have arisen out
of the revolution of France, out of the dis-
putes relating to tne crews of Portugal and
Spain, out of the separation of the Amer-
ican possessions of both from the European
governments, and out of the numerous and
constantly occurring struggles for dominion
in Spanish America, so wisely consistent
with our just principles has been the action
of our government that we have under the
most critical circumstances avoided all cen-
sure, and encountered no other evil than
that produced by a transient estrangement
of good will in those against whom we have
been by force of evidence compelled to de-
cide. It has thus been made known to the
world that the uniform policy and practice
of the United States is to avoid all inter-
ferences in disputes which merely relate to
the internal government of other nations,
and eventually to recognize the authority of
the prevailing party, without reference to
our particular interests and views or to the
merits of the original controversy.
"But on this, as on every other trying oc-
casion, safety Is to be found in a rigid ad-
herence to principle. In the contest between
Spain and the revolted colonies we stood
jiloof and waited not until the ability of the
new states to protect themselves was fully
established, but until the dnnger of their
being again subjugated h«d entirely passed
away. Then, and not until then, were they
recognized. Such was our course in regard
to Mexico herself.
"It is true that with regard to Texas the
civil authority of Mexico had been expelled.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
it8 Invading army defeated, the chief of the
republic himself captured, and all present
power to control the newly organized gov-
ernment of to-day annihilated within its
confines. But on the other hand there is in
appearance at least an immense disparity
of physical force on the side of Texas*. The
Mexican republic under another executive is
rallying its forces under a new leader and
menacing a fresh invasion to recover its lost
dominion. Upon the issue of this threatened
invasion the independence of Texas may be
considered as suspended, and, were there
nothing peculiar in the attitude of the
United States and Texas, our acknowledg-
ment of its independence at such a crisis
could scarcely be regarded as consistent
with that prudent reserve with which we
have hitherto held ourselves bound to treat
all similar questions."
Thereupon Andrew Jackson proceeded to
consider the risk that there might be Im-
puted to the United States motives of self-
ish interests, in view of the former claim
on our part to the territory of Texas and of
the avowed purpose of the Texans in seek-
ing recognition of independence as an inci-
dent to the incorporation of Texas in the
union, concluding thus:
"Prudence, therefore, seems to dictate
that we should still stand aloof and main-
tain our present attitude, If not until Mex-
ico Itself 'or one of the great foreign pow-
ers shall recognize the independence of the
new government, at least until the lapse of
time or the course of events shall have
proved beyond cavil or dispute the ability of
the people of that country to maintain their
separate sovereignty and to uphold the gov-
ernment constituted by them.
"Neither of the contending parties can
justly complain of this course. By pursuing
it we are but carrying out the long-estab-
lished policy of our government, a policy
which has secured to us respect and influ-
ence abroad and Inspired confidence at
home."
These are the words of the resolute and
patriotic Jackson. ' They are evidence that
the United States, in addition to the test
imposed by public law as the condition of
the recognition of independence by a neu-
tral state — to wit, that the revolted states
shall "constitute in fact a body politic,
having a government In substance as well
as in name, possessed, of the elements of
stability," and forming de facto, "if left to
itself, a state among the nations, reason-
ably capable of discharging the duties of a
state" — has imposed for its own governance
in dealing with cases like these the further
condition that recognition of independent
statehood is not due to a revolted depend-
ency until the danger of its being again sub-
jugated by the parent state has entirely
passed away.
This extreme test was In fact applied in
the case of Texas. The congress to whom
President Jackson referred the question as
one "probably leading to war" and there-
fore, a proper subject for "a previous under-
standing with that body, by whom war can
alone be declared, and by whom all the pro-
visions for sustaining Its perils must be
furnished," left the matter of the recogni-
tion of Texas to the discretion of the execu-
tive, providing merely for the sending of a
diplomatic agent when the president should
be satisfied that thp republic of Texas had
become "an independent state." It was so
recognized by President Van Buren. who
commissioned a charge d'affaires March 7.
1837, after Mexico had abandoned an at-
tempt to reconquer the Texan territory and
when there was at the time no bona-nde
contest going on between the insurgent prov-
ince and its former sovereign.
I said in my message of December last:
"It is to be seriously considered whether
the Cuban insurrection possesses beyond dis-
pute the attributes of statehood, which
alone can demand the recognition of bellig-
erency in Its favor."
The same requirement must certainly be
no less seriously considered when the graver
issue of recognizing independence is in ques-
tion, for no less positive test can be applied
to the greater act than to the lesser, while
on the other hand the influences and con-
sequences of the struggle upon the internal
policy of the recognizing state, which form
important factors when the recognition of
belligerency is concerned, are secondary, If
not rightly eliminable factors when the real
question is whether the community claiming
recognition is or is not independent beyond
peradventure.
Nor from the standpoint of expedience do
I think it would be wise or prudent for this
government to recognize at the present time
the so-called Cuban republic. Such recog-
nition is not necessary in order to enable
the United States to intervene and pacify
the island.
To commit this country now to the rec-
ognition of any particular government in
Cuba might subject us to embarrassing con-
ditions of international obligations toward
the organization so recognized. In case of
intervention our conduct would be subject
to the approval or disapproval of such gov-
ernments, we would be required to submit
to its direction and to assume to it the mere
relation of a friendly ally.
When it shall appear hereafter that there
is within the island a government capable
of performing the duties and discharging
the functions of a separate nation, and hav-
ing as a matter of fact the proper forms
and attributes of nationality, such govern-
ment can be promptly and readily recog-
nized and the relations and interests of the
United States with such nation adjusted.
There remain the alternative forms of in-
tervention to end the war. either as an im-
partial neutral by imposing a rational com-
promise between the contestants, or as tte
active ally of the one party or the other.
As to the first, it is not to be forgotten
that during the last few months the rela-
tion of the United States has virtually been
one of friendly intervention in many ways,
each not of itself conclusive, but all tending
to the exertion of a potential influence t"-
ward an ultimate pacific result just and
honorable to all interests concerned.
The spirit of all our acts hitherto has been
an earnest, unselfish desire for peace and
prosperity in Cuba, untarnished by differ-
ences between us and Spain and unstained
by the blood of American citizens.
The forcible Intervention of the United
States as a neutral to stop the war, accord-
ing to the large dictates of humanity and
following many historical precedents wh-Te
neighboring states have interfered to chock
the hopeless sacrifice of life by internecine
conflicts beyond their borders, is justifiable
on rational grounds. It involves, howev.;r,
hostile constraint upon both the parties 10
the contest as well to enforce a truce as to
puide the eventual settlement.
MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT.
317
The grounds for such Intervention may be
briefly summarized as follows:
1. In the cause of humanity and to put an
end to the barbarities, bloodshed, starvation
and horrible miseries now existing there,
t*nd which the parties to the conflict are
either unable or unwilling to stop or miti-
gate. It is no answer to say this is all in
another country, belonging to another nation
and therefore none of our business. It is
specially our duty, for it la right at our
door.
2. We owe it to the citizens of Cuba to
afford them that protection and indemnity
for life and property which no government
there can, or will afford, and to that end to
terminate the conditions that deprive them
of legal protection.
3. The right to intervene may be justified
by the very serious injury to commerce,
trade and business of our people, and by
the wanton destruction of property and dev-
astation of the island.
And which is of the utmost importance:
The present condition of affairs in Cuba is
a constant menace to our peace, and entails
upon this government an enormous expense.
With such a conflict waged for years in an
Island so near us and with which our people
have such trade and business relations —
when the lives and liberty of our citizens
are in constant danger and their property
destroyed and themselves ruined — where our
trading vessels are liable to seizure and are
seized at our very door by warships of a
foreign nation, the expeditions of filibuster-
ing that we are powerless to prevent alto-
gether, and the Irritating questions and en-
tanglements thus arising— all these and oth-
ers that I need not mention, with the result-
ing strained relations, are a constant men-
ace to our peace and compel us to keep on a
semi-war footing with a nation with which
we are at peace.
These elements of danger and disorder al-
ready pointed out have been strikingly Illus-
trated by a tragic event which has deeply
and justly moved the American people.
I have already transmitted to congress the
report of the naval court of inquiry on
the destruction of the battleship Maine in
the harbor of Havana during the night
of the 15th of February.
The destruction of that noble vessel has
filled the national heart with Inexpressible
horror. Two hundred and fifty-eight brave
sailors and marines and two officers of our
navy, reposing In the fancied security of a
friendly harbor, have been hurled to death,
grief and want brought to their homes and
sorrow to the nation.
The naval court of Inquiry, which It Is
needless to say commands the unqualified
confidence of the government, was unan-
imous in its conclusion that the destruction
of the Maine was caused by an exterior ex-
plosion— that of a submarine mine. It did
not assume to place the responsibility. That
remains to be fixed.
In any event the destruction of the Maine,
by whatever exterior cause, is a patent and
impressive proof of a state of things in
Cuba that is intolerable. That condition is
thus shown to be such that the Spanish gov-
ernment cannot assure safety and security
to a vessel of the American navy In the har-
bor of Havana on a mission of peace and
rightfully there.
Further referring in this connection to re-
cent diplomatic correspondence, a dispatch
from our minister to Spain of the 26th
ult. contained the statement that the
Spanish minister for foreign affairs assured
him positively that Spain will do all that
the highest honor and justice require in the
matter of the Maine.
The reply above referred to of the 31st
ult. also contained an expression of the
readiness of Spain to submit to an arbitra-
tion all the differences which can arise in
this matter, which is subsequently ex-
plained by the note of the Spanish minister
at Washington of the 10th inst., as follows:
"As to the question of fact which springs
from the diversity of views between the re-
port of the American and Spanish boards.
Spain proposes that the fact oe ascertained
by an impartial investigation by experts,
which decision Spain accepts in advance."
To this I have made no reply.
President Grant, in 1875. after discussing
the phases of the contest as it then ap-
S eared, and its hopeless and apparent in-
eflnite prolongation, said:
"In such event I am of opinion that other
nations will be compelled to assume the re-
sponsibility which devolves upon them and
to seriously consider the only remaining
measure possible — mediation and interven-
tion. Owing, perhaps, to the large expanse
of water separating the island from the
Eeninsula, the contending parties appear to
ave within themselves no depository of
common confidence to suggest wisdom when
passion and excitement have their sway and
to assume the part of peacemaker.
"In this view, in the earlier days of the
contest, the good offices of the United States
as a mediator were tendered in good faith,
without any selfish purpose, in the interest
of humanity and sincere friendship for both
parties, but were at the time declined by
Spain with the declaration, nevertheless,
that at a future time they would be indis-
pensable. No intimation has been received
that in the opinion of Spain that time has
been reached. And yet the strife continues,
with all its dread horrors and all its injuries
to the Interests of the United States and of
other nations. Each party seems quite capa-
ble of making great injury and damage to
the other, as well as to all the relations and
interests dependent on the existence of
peace in the island, but they seem incapable
of reaching any adjustment, and both have
thus far failed of achieving any success
whereby one party shall possess and control
the island to the exclusion of the other.
"Under the circumstances, the agency of
others, either by mediation or by Interven-
tion, seems to be the only alternative which
must sooner or later be invoked for the ter-
mination of the strife."
In the last annual message of my Imme-
diate predecessor during the pending strug-
gle it was said:
"When the inability of Spain to deal suc-
cessfully with the insurrection has become
manifest, and it is demonstrated that her
sovereignty is extinct In Cuba for all pur-
poses of its rightful existence, and when a
hopeless struggle for Its re-establishment
hns degenerated into a strife which means
nothing more than the useless sacrifice of
human life and the utter destruction of th
very subject matter of the conflict, a situa-
tion wili be presented in which our obliga-
tions to the sovereignty of Spain will be
superseded by higher obligations, which we
can hardly hesitate to recognize and dis-
charge."
In my annual message to congress Decem-
ber last, speaking to this question, 1 said:
"The near future will demonstrate
318
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
whether the indispensable condition of a
righteous peace, just alike to the Cubans
and to Spain, as well as equitable to all our
interests so intimately involved in the wel-
fare of Cuba, is likely to be attained. If
not, the exigency of further and other ac-
tion by the United States will remain to be
taken.
"When that time comes that action will
be determined in the line of indisputable
right and duty. It will be faced, without
misgiving or hesitancy, in the light of the
obligation this government owes itself, to
the people who have confided to it the pro-
tection of their interests and honor, and to
humanity.
"Sure of the right, keeping free from all
offense ourselves, actuated only by upright
and patriotic considerations, moved neither
by passion nor selfishness, the government
will continue its watchful care over the
rights and property of American citizens,
and will abate none of its efforts to bring
about by peaceful agencies a peace which
shall be honorable and enduring. If it shall
hereafter appear to be a duty Imposed by
our obligations to ourselves, to civilization
and humanity to intervene with force, it
shall be without fault on our part and only
because the necessity for such action will
be so clear as to command the support and
approval of the civilized world."
The long trial has proved that the object
for which Spain has waged the war cannot
be attained. The fire of insurrection may
flame or may smolder with varying seasons,
but it has not been and it is plain that it
cannot be extinguished by present methods.
The only hope of relief and repose from a
condition which cannot longer be endured is
the enforced pacification of Cuba. In the
name of humanity, in the name of civiliza-
tion, in behalf of endangered American In-
terests, which give us the right and duty to
speak and to act, the war in Cuba must
stop.
In view of these facts and these consid-
erations, I ask the congress to authorize and
empower the president to take measures to
secure a full and speedy termination of hos-
tilities between the government of Spain
and the people of Cuba, and to secure in the
island the establishment of a stable govern-
ment, capable of maintaining order and ob-
serving its international obligations, insur-
ing peace and tranquillity and the security
of its citizens, as well as our own, and to
use the military and naval forces of the
United States as may be necessary for these
purposes.
And in the interest of humanity and to
aid in preserving the lives of the starving
people of the island I recommend that the
distribution of food and supplies be con-
tinued and that an appropriation be made
out of the public treasury to supplement the
charity of our citizens.
The issue is now with the congress. It Is
a solemn responsibility. I have exhausted
every effort to relieve the intolerable condiJ
tion of affairs which is at our doors. Pre-
pared to execute every obligation imposed
upon me by the constitution and the law, I
await your action.
Yesterday and since the preparation of the
foregoing message official information was
received by me that the latest decree of the
queen regent of Spain directs Gen. Blanco,
in order to prepare and facilitate peace, to
§ reclaim a suspension of hostilities, the
uration and details jf which have not yet
been communicatod to me. This fact, with
every other pertinent consideration, will, I
am sure, have your just and careful atten-
tion in the solemn deliberations upon which
you are about to enter.
If this measure attains a successful re-
sult, then our aspirations as a Christian,
peace-loving people will be realized. If it
fails, it will be only another justification
for our contemplated action.

FOR A DECLARATION OF WAR.
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America:
I transmit to the congress for its consid-
eration and appropriate action copies of cor-
respondence recently had with the represent-
ative of Spain in the United States, witn
the United States minister at Madrid, and
through the latter with the government of
Spain, showing the action taken under the
joint resolution approved April 20. 1898, "for
the recognition of the independence of the
people of Cuba, demanding that the govern-
ment of Spain relinquish its authority and
government in the island of Cuba and to
withdraw its land and naval forces from
Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the
president of the United States to use the
land and naval forces of the United States
to carry these resolutions into effect."
Upon communicating with the Spanish
minister in Washington the demand which
it became the duty of the executive to ad-
dress to the government of Spain in obedi-
ence to said resolution, the said minister
asked for his passports and withdrew.
The United Slates minister at Madrid
was in turn notified by the Spanish minister
for foreign affairs that the withdrawal of
the Spanish representative from the United
States had terminated diplomatic relations
between the two countries, and that all of-
ficial communications between their respect-
ive representatives ceased therewith.
I recommend to your especial attention
the note addressed to the United States
minister at M-adrid by the S*panish minister
for foreign affairs on the 21st inst.. whereby
the foregoing notification was conveyed. It
will be perceived therefrom that the govern-
ment of Spain, having cognizance of the
joint resolution of the United States con-
gress, and in view of things which the presi-
dent is thereby required and authorized to
do, responds by treating the representative
demands of this government as measures of
hostility, following with that instant and
complete severance of relations by its ac-
tion whereby the usage of nations accom-
panies an existent state of war between
sovereign powers.
The position of Spain being thus made
known and the demands of the United
States being denied with a complete rupture
of intercourse by the act of Spain, I have
been constrained, in exercise of the power
and authority conferred upon me by the
joint resolution aforesaid, to proclaim, ur-
der date of April 22. 1898, a blockade of cer-
tain ports of -the north coast of Cuba lying
between Cardenas and Bahia Honda, and of
the port of Cienfuegos on the south coast of
Cuba; and further, in exercise of m.v con-
stitutional powers and using the authority
conferred upon me by the act of congress
approved April 22, 1898, to issue a proclama-
tion, dated April 23. 1898. calling for volun-
teers in order to carry into effect the said
resolution of April 20. 1898.
MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT.

Copies of these proclamations are hereto
appended.
In view of the measures so taken and with
a view to the adoption of such other meas-
ures as may be necessary to enable me to
carry out the expressed will of the congress
of the United States In the premises, I now
recommend to your honorable body for
adoption of a joint resolution declaring
that a state of war exists between the
United States of America and the kingdom
of Spain, and I urge speedy action thereon,
to the end that the definition of the interna-
tional status of the United States as a bel-
ligerent power may be made known and the
assertion of all its rights and the mainte-
nance of all its duties in the conduct of a
public war may be assured.

TRIBUTE TO ADMIRAL DEWEY.
To the Congress of the United States:
On the 24th of April I directed the secre-
tary of the navy to telegraph orders to Com-
modore Dewey of the United States navy,
commanding the Asiatic squadron, then
lying in the port of Hongkong, to proceed
forthwith to the Philippine islands, there to
commence operations and engage the Span-
ish fleet.
Promptly obeying that order the United
States squadion, consisting of the flagship
Olympia, Baltimore, Raleigh, Boston, Con-
cord and Petrel, with the revenue cutte»
McCulloch as an auxiliary dispatch boat,
entered the harbor of Manila at daybreak on
the 1st of May and immediately engaged
the entire Spanish fleet of eleven ships,
which were under the protection of the fire
of the land forts. After a stubborn flght, in
which the enemy suffered great loss, these
vessels were destroyed or completely dis-
abled and the water battery at Cavite
silenced. Of our brave officers and men not
one was lost and only eight injured, and
those slightly. All of our ships escaped any
serious damage.
By the 4th of May Commodore Dewey had
taken possession of the naval station at
Cavite, destroying the fortifications there
and at the entrance of the bay and paroling
their garrisons. The waters of the bay are
under his complete control. He has estab-
lished hospitals within the American lines,
where 250 of the Spanish sick and wounded
are assisted and protected.
The magnitude of this victory can hardly
be measured by the ordinary standards of
naval warfare. Outweighing any material
advantage Is the moral effect of this initial
success. At this unsurpassed achievement
the great heart of our nation throbs, not
with boasting or with greed of conquest, but
•nith deep gratitude that this triumph has
come in a just cause, and that by the grace
of God an effective step has thus been taken
toward the attainment of the wished-for
peace. To those whose skill, courage and
devotion have won the flght, to the gallant
commander and the brave officers and men
who aided him, our country owes an incal-
culable debt.
Feeling as our people feel and speaking In
their name, I at once sent a message to
Commodore Dewey, thanking him and his
officers and men for their splendid achieve-
ment and overwhelming victory, and in-
forming him that I had appointed him an
acting rear-admiral.
I now recommend that, following our na-
tional precedents and expressing the fervent
gratitude of every patriotic heart, the
thanks of congress be given Acting Rear-
Admiral George Dewey of the United States
navy for highly distinguished conduct in
conflict with the enemy, and to the officers
and men under his command for their gal-
lantry in the destruction of the enemy's
fleet and the capture of the enemy's fortifi-
cations in the bay of Manila.

SINKING OF THE MERRIMAO.
To the Congress of the United States: On
the morning of the 3d of June, 1898, Assistant
Naval Constructor Richmond P. Hobson, U.
S. N., with a volunteer crew of seven men,
in charge of the partially dismantled collier
Merrimac, entered the fortified harbor -of
Santiago, Cuba, for the purpose of sinking
the collier in the narrowest portion of the
channel and thus interposing a serious ob-
stacle to the egress of the Spanish fleet
which had recently entered that harbor.
This enterprise, demanding coolness, judg-
ment and bravery amounting to heroism,
was carried into successful execution in the
face of a persistent fire from the hostile
fleet, as well as from the fortifications on
shore.
Rear-Admiral Sampson, commander-in-
chlef of our naval force in Cuban waters, in
an official report dated "Off Santiago de
Cuba, June 3. 1898," and addressed to the
secretary of the navy, referring to Mr. Hob-
son's gallant exploit, says:
"As stated in a recent telegram before
coming here, I decided to make the harbor
entrance secure against the possibility of
egress of the Spanish ships by obstructing
the narrow part of the entrance by sinking
a collier at that point. Upon calling upon
Mr. Hobson for his professional opinion ai
to a sure method of sinking the ship, he
manifested a most lively interest in the
Eroblem. After several days' consideration
e presented a solution which he considered
would insure the immediate sinking of the
ship when he had reached the desired point
In the channel. The plan contemplated a
crew of only seven men and Mr. Hobson,
who begged that It might be Intrusted to
him.
"As soon as I reached Santiago and had
the collier to work upon, the details were
commenced and diligently prosecuted, hop-
Ing to complete them in one day, as the
moon and tide served best the first night
after our arrival. Notwithstanding every
effort the hour of 4 o'clock in the morning
arrived and the preparations were scarcely
completed. After a careful inspection of
the final preparations I was forced to relin-
quish the plan for that morning, as dawn
was breaking. Mr. Hobson begged to try it
at all hazards.
"This morning pfoved more propitious, as
a prompt start could be made. Nothing
could have been more gallantly executed.
A careful inspection of the harbor from this
ship showed that the Merrimac had been
sunk In the channel.
"I cannot too earnestly express my appre-
ciation of the conduct of Mr. Hobson and
liis gallant crew. I venture to say that a
more brave and daring thing has not been
done since Gushing blew up the Albemarle."
320
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
The members of the crew who were with
Mr. Hobson on this memorable occasion
have already been rewarded for their serv-
ices by advancement, which, under the pro-
visions of law and regulation, the secretary
of the navy was authorized to make, and the
nomination to the senate of Naval Cadet
Powell, who, in a steam launch, followed
the Merrimac on her perilous trip for the
purpose of rescuing her force after the sink-
ing of that vessel, to be advanced in rank
to the grade of ensign, has beem prepared
and will be submitted.
Gushing, with whose gallant act In blow-
ing up the ram Albemarle during the civil
war Admiral Sampson compares Mr. Hob-
son's sinking of the Merrimac, received the
thanks of congress, upon recommendation of
the president, by name, and was in conse-
quence, under the provisions of section 1508
of the revised statutes, advanced one grade,
such advancement embracing fifty-six num-
bers. The section cited applies, however, to
line officers only, and Mr. Hobson, being a
member of the staff of the navy, could not
under its provisions be so advanced.
lobconsidering the question of suitably re-
warding Assistant Naval Constructor Hob-
son for his valiant conduct on the occasion
referred to I have deemed it proper to ad-
dress this message to you with the recom-
mendation that he receive the thanks of
congress, and, further, that he be trans-
ferred to the line of the navy and promoted
to such position therein as the president, by
and with the advice and consent of the sen-
ate, may determine. Mr. Hobson's transfer
from the construction corps to the line is
fully warranted, he having received the
necessary technical training as a graduate
of the naval academy, where he stood No. 1
in his class, and such action is recom-
Uended partly in deference to what is un-
derstood to be his own desire, although, he
being now a prisoner in the hands of the
snemy, no direct communication on the sub-
ject has been received from him, and partly
for the reason that the abilities displayed
by him at Santiago are of such a character
as to indicate especial fitness for the duties
of the line. WILLIAM M'KINLEY.

REWARD FOR LIEUT. NEWCOMB.
To the Congress of the United States: On
the llth day of May, 1898, there occurred a
conflict in the bay of Cardenas, Cuba, In
which the naval torpedo boat Winslow was
disabled, her commander wounded and one
of her officers and a part of her crew killed
by the enemy's fire.
In the face of a most galling fire from
the enemy's guns the revenue cutter Hud-
son, commanded by First Lieutenant Frank
H. Newcomb, United States revenue-cutter
service, rescued the disabled Winslow, her
wounded comuiander and remaining crew.
The commander of the Hudson kept his ves-
sel in the very hottest fire of the action, al-
though in constant danger of going ashore
on account of the shallow water, until he
finally got a line made fast to the Winslow
and towed that vessel out of range of the
enemy's guns, a deed of special gallantry.
I recommend that, in recognition of the
signal act of heroism of First .Lieutenant
Frank H. Newcomb, United States revenue-
cutter service, above set forth, the thanks
of congress be extended to him and to his
officers and men of the Hudson, and a gold
medal of honor be presented Lieut. New-
comb, a silver medal of honor to each of his
officers and a bronze medal of honor to each
of his crew who served with him at Car-
denas.
It will be remembered that congress, by
appropriate action, recognized the several
commanders of ships of war for their serv-
ices in the battle of Manila, May 1, 1898.
CAPT. HODGSON REMEMBERED.
The commander of the revenue cutter
Hugh McCulloch, present and in active co-
operation with the fleet under Commodore
Dewey on that occasion (by executive order
under the provisions of section 2775, revised
statutes), is the only commander of a na-
tional ship to whom promotion or advance-
ment was not and could not be given, be-
cause he already held the highest rank
known to the revenue-cutter service.
i now recommend that, in recognition of
the efficient and meritorious services of
Capt. Daniel B. Hodgson, United States
revenue-cutter service, who commanded the
Hugh McCulloch at the battle of Manila
(that officer being now in the 63d year of his
age and having served continuously on
active duty for thirty-seven years), be
placed upon permanent waiting orders on
the retired list of the revenue-cutter service
on the full-duty pay of his grade.

THE PRESIDENT'S SECOND ANNUAL MESSAGE.
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives: Notwithstanding the added burdens
rendered necessary by the war, our people
rejoice in a very satisfactory and steadily
increasing degree of prosperity, evidenced
by the largest volume of business ever re-
corded.
Manufacture has been productive, agri-
cultural pursuits have yielded abundant re-
turns, labor in the fields of industry Is bet-
ter rewarded, revenue legislation passed by
the present congress has increased thf
treasury's receipts to the amount estimated
by its authors, the finances of the govern-
ment have been successfully administered
and its credit advanced to the first rank,
while its currency has been maintained at
the world's highest standard.
Military service under a common flag and
for a righteous cause has strengthened the
national spirit and served to cement more
closely than ever the fraternal bonds be-
tween every section of the country.
A review of the relation of the United
States to other powers, always appropriate,
is this year of primary impoitance in vlon
of the momentous issues which have arisen,
demanding in one instance the ultimate de-
termination by arms and involving far-
reaching consequences which will require
the earnest attention of the congress.
In my last annual message very full con-
sideration was given to the question of the
duty of the government of the United
States toward Spain and the Cuban insur
rection as being by far the most important
problem with which we were then called
upon to deal. The considerations then nd-

vanced and the exposition of the views
then expressed disclosed my sense of the
extreme gravity of the situation.
TIME GIVEN SPAIN.
Setting aside, as logically unfounded or
practically inadmissible, the recognition of
the Cuban insurgents as belligerents, the
recognition of the independence of Cuba,
neutral intervention to end the war by im-
posing a rational compromise between the
contestants, intervention in favor of one or
the other party, and forcible annexation of
the island, I concluded it was honestly due
to our friendly relations with Spain that
she should be given a reasonable chance to
realize her expectations of reform, to which
she had become irrevocably committed.
Within a few weeks previously she had an-
nounced comprehensive plans, which it was
confidently assorted would be efficacious to
remedy the evils so deeply affecting our
own country, so injurious to the true inter-
ests of the mother country as well as to
those of Cuba, and so repugnant to the
universal sentiment of humanity.
The ensuing month brought little sign of
real progress toward the pacification of
Cuba. The autonomous administration set
up in the capital and some of the principal
cities appeared not to gain the favor of the
inhabitants nor to be able to extend their
influence to the large extent of territory
held by the insurgents, while the military
arm, obviously unable to cope with the
still active rebellion, continued manv of the
most objectionable and offensive policies of
the government that had preceded it.
No tangible relief was afforded the vast
numbers of unhappy reconcentrados, despite
the reiterated professions made in that re-
gard and the amount appropriated by Spain
1 to that end. The proffered expedient of
zones of cultivation proved illusory. Indeed,
no less practical nor more delusive prom-
ises of succor could well have been tendered
to the exhausted and destitute people,
stripped of all that made life and home
dear and herded in a strange region among
unsympathetic strangers hardly less neces-
sitous than themselves.
By the end of December the mortality
among them had frightfully increased.
Conservative estimates from Spanish sources
placed the deaths among these distressed
people at over 40 per cent from the time
Gen. Weyler's decree of reconcentration
was enforced. With the acquiescence of
the Spanish authorities a scheme was
adopted for relief by charitable contribu-
tions raised in this country and distributed,
under the direction of the consul-general
and the several consuls, by noble and ear-
nest Individual effort through the organized
agencies of the American Red Cross. Thou-
sands of lives were thus saved, but many
thousands more were inaccessible to such
forms of aid.
The war continued on the old footing,
without comprehensive plan, developing
only the same spasmodic encounters, barren
of strategic result, that had marked the
course of the earlier ten years' rebellion as
well as the present insurrection from Its
start. No alternative save physical exhaus-
tion of either combatant, and therewithal
the practical ruin of the island, lay in
sight, but how far distant no one could
venture to conjecture.
DESTRUCTION OF THE MAINE.
At this juncture, on the 15th of February
last, occurred the destruction of the battle-
ship Maine, while rightfully lying in the
harbor of Havana on a mission of interna
tional courtesy and good-will— a catastrophe
the suspicious nature and horror of which
stirred the nation's heart profoundly.
It is a striking evidence of the poise ana
sturdy good sense distinguishing our na
tional character that this shocking blow,
falling upon a generous people, already
deeply touched by preceding events in Cuba,
did not move them to an instant, desperatt
resolve to tolerate no longer the existence
of a condition of danger and disorder at our
doors that made possible such a deed by
whomsoever wrought. Yet the Instinct of
justice prevailed and the nation anxiouslj
awaited the result of the searching inves-
tigation at once set on foot.
The finding of the naval board of Inquiry
established that the origin of the explosion
was external by a submarine mine, and only
halted through lack of positive testimony to
fix the responsibility of its authorship.
All these things carried conviction to the
most thoughtful, even before the finding of
the naval court, that a crisis in our rela-
tions with Spain and toward Cuba was at
hand. So strong was this belief that it
needed but a brief executive suggestion tc
the congress to receive immediate answei
to the duty of making instant provision for
the possible and perhaps speedily probable
emergency of war. and the remarkable, al-
most unique, spectacle was presented of a
unanimous vote of both houses on the 9th of
March, appropriating $50,000,000 for the na-
tional defense and for each and every pur-
pose connected therewith, to be expended at
the discretion of the president.
That this act of provision came none too
soon was disclosed when the application ot
the fund was undertaken. Our forts were
practically undefended. Our navy needed
large provision for increased ammunition
and supplies and even numbers to cope with
any sudden attack from the navy of Spain,
which comprised modern warships of the
highest type of continental perfection. Our
army also required enlargement of men and
munitions.
The details of the hurried preparation for
the dreaded contingency are told in the re-
ports of the secretaries of war and of the
navy, and need not be repeated here. It is
sufficient to say that the outbreak of war,
when it did come, found our nation not un-
prepared to meet the conflict.
Nor was the apprehension of coming strife
confined to our own country. It was felt by
the continental powers, which, on April 6,
through their ambassadors and envoys, ad-
dressed to the executive an expression ot
hope that humanity and moderation might
mark the course of this government and
people, and that further negotiations would
lead to an agreement which, while securing
the maintenance of peace, would affirm all
necessary guaranties for the re-establish-
ment of order in Cuba.
In responding to that representation I also
shared the hope that the envoys had ex-
pressed that peace might be preserved in a
manner to terminate the chronic condition
of disturbance in Cuba so Injurious and
menacing to our interests and tranquillity,
as well as shocking to our sentiments of
humanity; and. while appreciating the hu-
manitarian and disinterested character of
the communication they had made on be-
half of the powers, I stated the confidence
of this government, for its part, that equal
appreciation would be shown for its own
322
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR
earnest and unselfish endeavors to fulfill a
duty to humanity by ending a situation the
Indefinite prolongation of which had become
Insufferable.
EFFORTS TO AVERT WAR.
Still animated by the hope of a peaceful
solution and obeying the dictates of duty,
no effort was relaxed to bring about a
speedy ending of the Cuban struggle. Ne-
gotiations to this object continued actively
with the government of Spain, looking to
the Immediate conclusion of a six months
armistice in Cuba with a view to effecting
the recognition of her people's right to in-
dependence. Besides this, the Instant revo-
cation of the order of reconcentration was
asked, so that the sufferers, returning to
their homes and aided by united American
and Spanish effort, might be put in a way
to support themselves and by orderly re-
sumption 01 the well-nigh destroyed pro-
ductive energies of the island contribute to
the restoration of its tranquillity and well
being.
Negotiations continued for some little
time at Madrid, resulting In offers by the
Spanish government which could not but be
regarded as inadequate. It was proposed to
confide the preparation of peace to the
Insular parliament, yet to be convened un-
der the autonomous decrees of November,
1897, but without impairment In any wise of
the constitutional powers of the Madrid
government, which, to that end, would
grant an armistice, If solicited by the in-
surgents, for such time as the general in
chief might see flt to fix.
How and with what scope of discretionarj
powers the insular parliament was expected
to set about the "preparation" of peace did
not appear. If it were to be by negotiation
with the insurgents, the issue seemed to
rest on the one side with a body chosen by
a fraction of the electors in the districts
under Spanish control, and on the other
with the insurgent population holding the
interior country, unrepresented in the so-
called parliament, and defiant at the sug-
gestion of suing for peace.
Grieved and disappointed at this barren
outcome of my sincere endeavors to reach
a practicable solution, I felt it my duty to
remit the whole question to the congress.
In the message of April 1. 1898, I announced
that with this last overture in the direction
of immediate peace in Cuba, and its disap-
pointing reception by Spain, the effort of
the executive was brought to an end.
I again reviewed the alternative course
of action which I had proposed, concluding
that the only one consonant with interna-
tional policy and compatible with our firm,
set historical traditions was intervention as
a neutral to stop the war and check thf
hopeless sacrifice of life, even though that
resort involved "hostile constraint upon
both the parties to the contest, as well to
enforce a truce as to guide the eventual
settlement."
The grounds justifying that step were:
The interests of humanity, the duty to pro-
tect life and property of our citizens in
Cuba, the right to check injury to our com-
merce and people through the devastation
of the island, and, most Important, the
need of removing at once and forever the
constant menace and the burdens entailed
upon our government by the uncertainties
and perils of the situation caused by the
unendurable disturbance in Cuba. I said-.
"The long trial has proved that the ob-
ject for which Spain has waged the war
cannot be attained. The fire of insurrection
may flame or may smolder with varying
seasons, but it has not been, and it is plain
that It cannot be, extinguished by present
methods. The only hope of relief and re-
pose from a condition which can no longei
be endured is the enforced pacification ol
Cuba. In the name of humanity, in the
name of civilization, in behalf of endan-
gered American interests, which give us
the right and the duty to speak, the exist-
ing war in Cuba must stop.
In view of all this the congress was asked
to authorize and empower the president to
take measures to secure a full and final
termination of hostilities between Spain
and the people of Cuba and to secure in the
island the establishment of a stable gov-
ernment, capable of maintaining order and
observing its international obligations, in-
suring peace and tranquillity and the se
curlty of its citizens as well as our own,
and for the accomplishment of those ends
to use the military and naval forces of the
United States as might be necessary, with
added authority to continue generous relief
to the starving people of Cuba.
DECISIVE ACTION BY CONGRESS.
The response of the congress, after nine
days of earnest deliberation, during which
the almost unanimous sentiment of youi
body was developed on every point save as
to the expediency of coupling the proposed
action with a formal recognition of the re-
public of Cuba as the true and lawful gov-
ernment of that island— a proposition which
failed of adoption— the congress, after con-
ference, on the 19th of April, by a vote of
42 to 35 in the senate and 311 to 6 in the
house of representatives, passed the memo-
rable joint resolution, declaring:
"1. That the people of the island of Cuba
are, and of right ought to be, free and in
dependent. •
"2. That It Is the duty of the United
States to demand, and the government ol
the United States does hereby demand, that
the government of Spain at once relinquish
its authority and government in the island
of Cuba and withdraw its land and naval
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
"3. That the president of the United
States be and he hereby Is directed and em-
powered to use the entire land and naval
forces of the United States, and to call
Into the actual service of the United States
the militia of the several states to such ex-
tent as may be necessary to carry these
resolutions into effect.
"4. That the United States hereby dis-
claims any disposition or intention to ex
ercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control
over said island, except for the pacification
thereof, and asserts Its determination, when
that is accomplished, to leave the govern-
ment and control of the island to its peo-
ple."
This resolution was approved by the ex
ecutive on the next day, April 20. A copy
wsis at once communicated to the Spanish
minister at this capital, -who forthwith an-
nounced that his continuance in Washington '
had thereby become impossible, and asked
for his passports, which were given him.
He thereupon withdrew from Washington,
leaving the protection of Spanish interests
in the United States to the French am-
bassador and the Austro-Hungarian mln-
Simultaneously with its communication to
MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT.
323
the Spanish minister, Gon. Woodford, the
American minister at Madrid, was tele-
graphed confirmation of the text of the
Joint resolution, and directed to communi-
cate it to the government of Spain, with
the formal demand that it at once relin-
quish its authority and government in the
island of Cuba and withdraw Its forces
therefrom, coupling this demand with an-
nouncements of the intentions of this gov-
ernment as to the future of the island, in
conformity with the fourth clause of the
resolution, and giving Spain until noon ot
April 23 to reply.
The demand, although, as above shown,
officially made known to the Spanish envoy
here, was not delivered at Madrid. Aftei
the instruction reached Gen. Woodford on
the morning of April 21, but before he
could present it, the Spanish minister ol
state notified him that upon the president's
approval of the joint resolution the Madrid
government, regarding the act as "equiv-
alent to an evident declaration of war/'
had ordered its minister in Washington to
withdraw, thereby breaking off diplomatic-
relations between the two countries and
ceasing all official communication between
their respective representatives. Gen.
Woodford thereupon demanded his passports
and quitted Madrid the same day.
FORMAL DECLARATION OF WAR.
Spain having thus denied the demand of
the United States and initiated that com-
plete form of rupture of relations which
attends a state of war, the executive pow-
ers authorized by the resolution were at
once used by ine to meet the enlarged con-
tingency of actual war between Spain and
the United States.
On April 22 I proclaimed a blockade of the
northern coast of Cuba, including ports on
said coast between Cardenas and r.ahia
Honda, and the port of Cienfuegos on the
south coast of Cuba, and on the 23d I called
for volunteers to execute the purpose of the
resolution.
By my message of April 25 the congress
was informed of the situation, and I recom-
mended formal declaration of the existence
of a state of war between the United States
and Spain. The congress accordingly vot d
on the same day the act approved April 2b,
1898, declaring the existence of such war.
from and including the 21st day of April,
and re-enacted the provision of the resolu-
tion of April 20. directing the president to
use all the armed forces of the nation to
carry that act into effect.
Due notification of the existence of wai
as aforesaid was given April 25 by tele-'
graph to all the governments with which
the United States maintain relations, in
order that their neutrality might be assured
during the war.
The various governments responded with
proclamations of neutrality, each after its
own methods. It is not among the least
gratifying incidents of the struggle that the
obligations of neutrality were impartially
discharged by all, often under delicate and
difficult circumstances.
In further fulfillment of international
duty, I issued April 26 a proclamation an-
nouncing the treatment proposed to be
accorded to vessels and their cargoes as to
blockades, contraband, the exercise of the
right of subjects and the immunity of neu-
tral flags and neutral goods under the
enemy's flag. A similar proclamation was
made by the Spanish government. In the
conduct of hostilities the rules of the dec.
laration of Paris, including abstention from
resort to privateering, have according!)
been observed by both belligerents, although
neither was a party to that declaration.
RECRUITING OF ARMY AND NAVY.
Our country thus, after an interval of halt
a century of peace with all nations, found
itself engaged in deadly conflict with a
foreign enemy. Every nerve was strainea
to meet the emergency.
The response to the initial call for 125,000
volunteers was Instant and complete, as
was also the result of the second call ot
May 25 for 75,000 additional volunteers. The
ranks of the regular army were increased to
the limits provided by the act of April 26.
The enlisted force of the navy on the 15th
of August, when it reached its maximum,
numbered 24,123 men and apprentices. Out
hundred and three vessels were addtd to the
navy by purchase, om> was presented to the
government, one leased and the four vessels
of the International Navigation company,
the St. Paul, St. Louis, New York and
Paris, were chartered. In addition to these
the revenue cutters and lighthouse tenders
were turned over to the navy department
and became temporarily a part of the auxil-
iary navy.
The maximum effective fighting force ol
the navy during the war, separated into
classes, was as follows:
Regular — Four battleships of the flrsv
class, one battleship of the second class,
two armored cruisers, six coast defense
monitors, one armored ram, twelve pro-
tected cruisers, three unprotected cruisers,
eighteen gunboats, one dynamite cruiser,
eleven torpedo boats, fourteen old vessels
of the old navy, including monitors.
Auxiliary — Sixteen auxiliary cruisers,
twenty-eight converted yachts, twenty
seven converted tugs, nineteen converted
colliers, fifteen revenue cutters, four light
house tenders and nineteen miscellaneous
vessels.
Much alarm was felt along our entire At-
lantic seaboard lest some attack might be
made by the enemy. Every precaution was
taken to prevent possible injury to oui
great cities lying along the coast. Tempo-
rary garrisons were provided, drawn from
the state militia. Infantry and light bat-
teries were drawn from the volunteer force.
About 12,000 troops were thus employed.
The coast signal service was established fot
observing the approach of an enemy's ships
to the coast of the United States, and the
life-saving and lighthouse services co-oper-
ated, which enabled the navy department to
have all portions of the Atlantic coast,
from Maine to Texas, under observation.
The auxiliary navy was created under th<-
authority of congress, and was officered and
manned by the naval militia of the several
states. This organization patrolled the
coast and performed the duty of a second
arm of defense.
Under the direction of the chief of en-
gineers submarine mines were placed at the
most exposed points. Before the outbreak
of the war permanent mining casements
and cable galleries had been constructed at
all important harbors. Most of the torpedo
material was not to be found in the market
and had to be specially manufactured. Un-
der date of April 19 district officers were
directed to take all preliminary measures,
short of the actual attaching of the loaded
324
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
mines to the cables, and on April 22 tele-
graphic orders were issued to place the
loaded mines in position.
The aggregate number of mines placed
was 1,535 at the principal harbors from
Maine to California. Preparations were alto
made for the planting of mines at certain
other harbors, but owing to the early de.
struction of the Spanish fleet these mines
were not placed.
The signal corps was promptly organized
and performed service of most difficult and
important character. Its operations during
the war covered the electrical connection of
all coast fortifications and the establish-
ment of telephonic and telegraphic facili-
ties for the camps at Manila, Santiago ana
in Puerto Rico.
There were constructed 300 miles of line
at ten great camps, thus facilitating mili-
tary movements from those points in a
manner heretofore unknown in military ad-
ministration. Field telegraph lines were
established and maintained under the
enemy's fire at Manila, and later the Ma-
nila-Hongkong cable was reopened. Ii.
Puerto Rico cable communications were
opened over a discontinued route, and on
land the headquarters of the commanding
officer were kept in telegraphic or telephonic
communication with the division command-
era of four different lines of operation.
There was placed in Cuban waters a com-
pletely outfitted cable ship, with war cables
and cable gear suitable both for the destruc-
tion of communications belonging to the
enemy and the establishment of our own.
Two ocean cables were destroyed under the
enemy's batteries at Santiago. The day
previous to the landing of Gen. Shatter'?
corps at Caimanera, within twenty miles of
the landing place, cable communications
were established and cable stations opened,
giving direct communication with the gov,
eminent at Washington. This service was
invaluable to the executive in directing the
operations of the army and navy.
With a total force of over 1,300 the loss
was by disease and field, officeiS and men
included, only five.
THE BOND ISSDE.
The national defense under the $50^00, OOG
fund was expended in large part By the
army and navy, and the objects for which It.
was used are fully shown in the reports of
the several secretaries. It was a most
timely appropriation, enabling the govern-
ment to strengthen its defense and make
preparations greatly needed in case of war.
This fund being inadequate to the require,
ments of equipment and for the conduct ot
the war, the patriotism of the congress pro-
vided the means in the war-revenue act of
June 13 by authorizing a 3 per cent popular
loan, not to exceed $400,000,000. and by levy-
ing additional imposts and taxes. Of the
authorized loan, $200,000.000 was offered ana
promptly taken, the subscriptions so far ex-
ceeding the call as to cover it many times
over, while, preference being given to the
smaller bids, no single allotment exceeded
$5,000.
This was a most encouraging and signifi-
cant result, showing the vast resources of
the nation and the determination of the
people to uphold their country's honor.
DEWEY'S VICTORY AT MANILA.
It Is not within the province of this mes-
sage to narrate the history of the extraor-
dinary war that followed the Spanish d£c-
laration of April 21, but a brief recital of
its more salient features is appropriate.
The first encounter of the war in point, of
date took place April 27, when a detach-
ment of the blockading squadron made a
reconnaissance in force at Mutanzas, shelled
the harbor forts and demolished several new
works in construction.
The next engagement was destined to
mark a memorable epoch in maritime war-
fare. The Pacific fleet, under Commodore
Dewey, had lain for some weeks at Hong-
kong. Upon the colonial proclamation of
neutrality being issued and the customary
twenty-four hours' notice being given, it
repaired to Mirs bay, near Hongkong,
whence it proceeded to the Philippine Is-
lands under telegraphed orders to capture
or destroy the formidable Spanish fleet then
assembled at Manila.
At daybreak on the 1st of May the Amer-
ican force entered Manila bay. and after a
few hours' engagement effected the total
destruction of the Spanish fleet, consisting
of 'ten warships and a transport, besides
capturing the naval station and forts at
Cavite, thus annihilating the Spanish naval
power in the Pacific ocean and completely
controlling the bay of Manila, with the
ability to take the city at will. Not a life
was lost on our ships, the wounded num.
bering only seven, while not a vessel was
materially injured.
For this gallant achievement the congress,
upon my recommendation, fitly bestowed
upon the actors preferment and substantial
reward.
The effect of this remarkable victory upon
the spirit of our people and upon the for-
tunes of the war was instant. A prestige
of invincibility thereby attached to our
arms which continued throughout the strug-
gle. Re-enforcements were hurried to Ma-
nila under the command of Maj.-Gen. Mer-
ritt and firmly established within sight of
the capital, which lay helpless before our
guns.
On the 7th day of May the government
was advised officially of the victory at
Manila, and at once Inquired of the com-
mander of our fleet what troops would be
required. The information was received on
the 15th day of May, and the first army ex-
pedition sailed May 25 and arrived off Ma-
nila June 30. Other expeditions soon fol-
lowed, the total force consisting of 641 offi-
cers and 15,058 men.
Only reluctance to cause needless loss of
life and property prevented the early storm-
Ing and capture of the city, and therewith
the absolute military occupancy of the
whole group. The insurgents meanwhile
had resumed the active hostilities suspended
by the uncompleted truce of December, 1897.
Their forces invested Manila from the
northern and eastern sides, but were con-
strained by Admiral Dewey and Gen. Mer-
ritt from attempting an assault.
It was fitting that whatever was to be
done In the way of decisive operations in
that quarter should be accomplished by the
strong arm of the United States alone.
Obeying the stern precept of war, which
enioins the overcoming of the adversary ana
the extinction of his power wherever assail-
able as the speedy and sure means to win
a peace, divided victory was not permissi-
ble, for no partition of the rights and re,
sponsibilities attending the enforcement 01
a just and advantageous peace could be
thought of.
MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT.
325
CAMPAIGN IN CUBA REVIEWED.
Following the comprehensive scheme of
general attack, powerful forces were as
sembled at various points on our coast to
invade Cuba and Puerto Rico. Meanwhile
naval demonstrations were made at several
exposed points. On May 11 the cruiser Wil-
mington and torpedo boat Winslow were un-
successful in an attempt to silence the bat-
teries at Cardenas and Matanzas, Worth
Bagley and four seamen falling.
These grievous fatalities were, strangely
enough, among the very few which occurred
during our naval operations in this extraor-
dinary conflict.
Meanwhile the Spanish naval preparations
had been pushed with great vigor. A pow-
erful squadron under Admiral Cervera.
which had assembled at the Cape Verde
islands before the outbreak of hostilities,
had crossed the ocean, and by its erratic
movements in the Caribbean sea delayed our
military operations while baffling the pur-
suit of onr fleets. For a time fears were
felt lest the Oregon and Marietta, then
nearing home after their long voyage from
San Francisco of over 15,000 miles, might be
surprised by Admiral Cervera's fleet, but
their fortunate arrival dispelled these ap»
prehensions and lent much-needed re-en
forcement.
HEROISM OF HOBSON.
Not until Admiral Cervera took refuge In
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba about May
9 was It practicable to plan a systematic
military attack upon the Antillean posses-
sions of Spain. Several demonstrations oc-
curred on the coasts of Cuba and Puerto
Rico in preparation for the larger event.
On May 13 the North Atlantic squadron
shelled San Juan de Puerto Rico. On May 30
Commodore Sehley's squadron bombarded
the forts guarding the mouth of Santiago
harbor. Neither attack had any material
result. It was evident that well-ordered
land operations were Indispensable to
achieve a decisive advantage.
The next act in the war thrilled not alone
the hearts of our countrymen but the world
by its exceptional heroism.
On the night of June 3 Lieut. Hobson,
aided by seven devoted volunteers, blocked
the narrow outlet from Santiago harbor bj
sinking the collier Merrimac In the channel,
under a fierce flre from the shore batteries,
escaping with their lives as by a miracle,
but falling into the hands of the Spaniards.
It is a most gratifying Incident of the war
that the bravery of this little band of
heroes was cordially appreciated by the
Spaniards, who sent a flag of trace to notify
Admiral Sampson of their safety and to
compliment them upon their daring act.
They were subsequently exchanged July 7.
ADVANCE ON SANTIAGO.
By June 7 the cutting of the last Cuban
cable isolated the island. Thereafter the
invasion was vigorously prosecuted. On
June 10, under a heavy protecting fire, a
landing of 600 marines from the Oregon,
Marblehead and Yankee was effected in
Guautanamo bay, where it had been deter-
mined to establish a naval station. This
Important and essential port was taken
from the enemy after severe fighting by the
marines, who were the first organized force
of the United States to land in Cuba. The
position so won was held despite desperate
attempts to dislodge our forces.
By June 16 additional forces were landed
and strongly Intrenched. On June 22 the
advance of the invading army under MaJ.-
Gen. Shafter landed at Baiquiri, about lit,
teen miles east of Santiago. This was ac-
complished under great difficulties, but with
marvelous dispatch. On June 23 the move-
ment against Santiago was begun.
On the 24th the first serious engagement
took place, In which the 1st and 10th cav.
airy and the 1st United States volunteer
cavalry, Gen. Young's brigade of Gen.
Wheeler's division, participated, losing
heavily. By nightfall, however, ground
within five miles of Santiago was won.
The advantage was steadily increased.
On July 1 a severe battle took place, oui
forces gaining the outworks of Santiago.
On the 2d El Caney and San Juan were
taken after a desperate charge, and the
Investment of the city was completed. The
navy co-operated by shelling the town and
the coast forts.
DESTRUCTION OF CEUVERA'S FLEET.
On the day following this brilliant
achievement of our land forces, July 3, oc-
curred the decisive naval combat of the
war. The Spanish fleet, attempting to leave
the harbor, was met by the American
squadron under command of Commodore
Sampson. In less than three hours all the
Spanish ships were destroyed, the two tor-
pedo boats being sunk, and the Maria
Teresa, Almirante Oquendo, Vizcaya and
Cristobal Colon driven ashore. The Spanish
admiral and over 1,300 men were taken pris-
oners, while the enemy's loss of life was
deplorably large, some 600 perishing.
On our side but one man was killed, on
the Brooklyn, and one man seriouslj
wounded. Although our ships were repeat-
edly struck, not one was seriously Injured.
Where all so conspicuously distinguished
themselves, from the commanders to the
gunners and the unnamed heroes In the boil-
er rooms, each and all contributing toward
the achievement of this astounding victory,
for which neither ancient nor modern his-
tory affords a parallel In the completeness
of the event and the marvelous dispropor-
tion of casualties, it would be Invidious to
single out any for especial honor.
Deserved promotion has rewarded the
more conspicuous actors — the nation's pro-
foundest gratitude is due to all of those
brave men who by their skill and devotion
in a few short hours crushed the sea power
of Spain and wrought a triumph whose de-
cisiveness and far-reaching consequences
can scarcely be measured. Nor can we be
unmindful of the achievements of our
builders, mechanics and artisans for their
skill in the construction of our warships.
WTith the catastrophe of Santiago Spain's
efforts upon the ocean virtually ceased. A
spasmodic effort toward the end of June to
send her Mediterranean fleet under Admiral
Camara to relieve Manila was abandonee,
the expedition being recalled after it had
passed through the Suez canal.
The capitulation of Santiago followed.
The city was closely besieged by land,
while the entrance of our ships Into the
harbor cut off all relief on that side. Aftet
a truce to allow of the removal of non-com-
batants protracted negotiations continued
from July 3 until July 15, when, undei
menace of immediate assault, the prelim-
inaries of surrender were agreed upon. On
the 17th Gen. Shafter occupied the city.
The capitulation embraced the entire east-
ern end of Cuba. The number of Spanish
328
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
soldiers surrendered was 22,000, all of whom
were subsequently conveyed to Spain at the
charge of the United States.
The story of this successful campaign Is
told in the report of the secretary of war,
which will be laid before you. The indi-
vidual valor of officers and soldiers was
never more strikingly shown than in the
several engagements leading to the sur-
render of Santiago, while the prompt move-
ments and successive victories won instant
and universal applause.
To those who gained this complete tri-
umph, which established the ascendency of
the United States upon land as the fight off
Santiago had fixed our supremacy on the
seas, the earnest and lasting gratitude of
the nation is unsparingly due.
Nor should we alone remember the gal-
lantry of the living; the dead claim oift
tears, and our losses by battle and disease
must cloud any exultation at the result
and teach us to weigh the awful cost ol
war, however rightful the cause or signal
the victory.
OCCUPATION OF PUERTO RICO.
With the fall of Santiago, the occupation
of Puerto Rico became the next strategic
necessity. Gen. Miles had previously been
issigned to organize the expedition for that
purpose. Fortunately he was already at
Santiago, where be had arrived on the llth
>f July with re-enforcements for Gen. Shal.
ter's army.
With these troops, consisting of 3,415 In-
fantry and artillery, two companies of en-
gineers and one company of the signal
?orps. Gen. Miles left Guantanamo on July
21, having nine transports convoyed by the
Beet under Capt. Higginson, with the Mas-
sachusetts (flagship), Dixie, Gloucester, Co-
lumbia and Yale, the two latter carrying
troops. The expedition landed at Guanica
July 25, which port was entered with little
opposition. Here the fleet was joined by
the Annapolis and the Wasp, while the
Puritan and Amphitrite went to San Juau
and joined the New Orleans, which was en-
gaged in blockading that port.
The major-general commanding was sub-
sequently re-enforced by Gen. Schwan's
brigade of the 3d army corps, by Gen. Wil-
son with a part of his division, and also
by Gen. Brooke with a part of his corps,
numbering in all 16,973 officers and men. On
July 27 be entered Ponce, one of the most
important ports in the island, from which
he thereafter directed operations for the
capture of the island.
With the exception of encounters with the
enemy at Guayama, Hormigueres, Coamo
and Yauco, and an attack on a force landed
at Cape San Juan, there was no serious re-
sistance. The campaign was prosecuted
with great vigor, and by the 12th of August
much of the island was In our possession,
and the acquisition of the remainder was
inly a matter of a short time.
At most of the points in the Island our
troops were enthusiastically welcomed.
Protestations of loyalty to the flag and
gratitude for delivery from Spanish rule
met our commanders at every stage.
As a potent influence toward peace the
outcome of the Puerto Rican expedition was
of great consequence, and generous com-
mendation is due to those who participated
in it.
LAST BATTLE OF THE WAR.
The last scene of the war was enacted at
Manila, its starting place. On Aug. 15,
after a brief assault upon the works by the
land forces, in which the squadron assisted,
the capital surrendered unconditionally.
The casualties were comparatively few.
By this the conquest of the Philippine
Islands, virtually accomplished when the
Spanish capacity for resistance was de-
stroyed by Admiral Dewey's victory of the
1st of May, was foi mally sealed.
To Gen. Merritt, his officers and men. for
their uncomplaining and devoted services,
for their gallantry in action, the nation is
sincerely grateful. Their long voyage was
made with singular success, and the soldier-
ly conduct of the men, most of whom were
without previous experience in the military
service, deserves unmeasured praise.
LOSSES OF ARMY AND NAVY.
The total casualties in killed and woundea
during the war were as follows:
ARMY.
Officers killed 23
Enlisted men killed 251
Total.
Officers wounded 113
Enlisted men wounded 1,464
Total 1,577
NAVY.
Killed l-i
Wounded 67
Died as result of wounds 1
Invalided from service €
Total 91
It will be observed that while our navy
was engaged in two great battles and in
numerous perilous undertakings in the
blockades and bombardment, and more than
EO.OOO of our troops were transported to dis-
tant lauds and engaged in assault and siege
and battle and many skirmishes in unfa-
miliar territory, we lost in both arms ol
the service a total of 1,948 killed and
wounded; and in the entire campaign by
land and sea we did not lose a gun or a
flag or a transport or a ship, and with the
exception of the crew of the Merrimac not
a soldier or sailor was taken prisoner.
On Aug. 7, forty-six days from the date of
the landing of Gen. Shatter's army In Cuba
and twenty-one days from the surrender ot
Santiago, the United States troops com.
menced embarkation for home, and our en-
tire force was returned to the United Staffs
as early as Aug. 24. They were absent from
the United States only two months.
It is fitting that I should bear testimony
to the patriotism and devotion of that large
portion of our army which, although eagei
to be ordered to the post of greatest ex-
posure, fortunately was not required out-
side of the United States. They did theii
whole duty, and, like their comrades at the
front, have earned the gratitude of the
nation.
In like manner, the officers and men of
the army and of the navy who remained in
their departments and stations of the navy,
performing most Important duties connected
with the war, and whose requests for a»
signment in the field and at sea I was com-
pelled to refuse because their services were
indispensable here, are entitled to tho high-
est commendation. It is my regret that
there seems to be no provision for theii
suitable recognition.
WORK OF THE RED CROSS.
In this connection it is a pleasure for me
to mention in terms of cordial appreciation
MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT.
327
the timely and useful work of the American
National Red Cross, both in relief measures
preparatory to the campaign, in sanitary
assistance at several of the camps of as-
semblage, and later, under the able and ex-
perienced leadership of the president of the
society, Miss Clara Barton, on the fields of
battle and in the hospitals at the front in
Cuba. Working in conjunction with the
governmental authorities and under their
sanction and approval, and with the enthu-
siastic co-operation of many patriotic women
and societies in the various states, the Heu
Cross has fully maintained Its already high
reputation for intense earnestness and abil-
ity to exercise the noble purposes of Its in-
ternational organization, thus justifying the
confidence and support which it has received
at the hands of the American people.
To the members and officers of this society
and all who aided them in their philan-
thropic work the sincere and lasting grati-
tude of the soldiers and the public is due
and is freely accordc-d.
In tracing these events we are constantly
reminded of our obligations to the Divine
Master for His watchful care over us and
His safe guidance, for which the nation
makes reverent acknowledgment and offers
humble prayer for the continuance of His
favor.
SIGNING OF THE PROTOCOL.
The annihilation of Admiral Cervera's
Beet, followed by the capitulation of San-
tiago, having brought to the Spanish gov-
ernment a realizing sense of the hopeless
ness of continuing a struggle now becoming
wholly unequal, it made overtures of peace
through the French ambassador, who, with
the assent of his government, had actea as
the friendly representative of Spanish in-
terests during the war.
On the 26th of July M. Cambon presented
a communication signed by the duke ol
Almodovar, the panish minister of state,
inviting the United States to state the
terms upon which it would be willing to
make peace.
On July 30, by a communication addressed
to the duke of Almodovur and handed to M.
Cambon, the terms of this government were
announced, substantially as in the protocol
afterward signed.
On Aug. 10 the Spanish reply, dated Aug.
7, was handed by M. Cambon to the secre-
tary of state. It accepted unconditionally
the terms imposed as to Cuba, Puerto Rico
and an island of the Ladrones group, but
appeared to seek to introduce inadmissible
reservations in regard to our demand as to
the Philippines.
Conceiving that discussion on this point
could neither be practicable nor profitable, I
directed that in order to avoid misunder-
standing the matter should be forthwith
closed by proposing the embodiment in a
formal protocol of the terms on which the
negotiations for peace were to be under-
taken.
The vague and inexplicit suggestions of
the Spanish note could not be accepted, the
only reply being to present as a virtual
ultimatum a draft of a protocol embodying
the precise terms tendered to Spain in 0111
note of July 30, with added stipulations of
detail ns to the appointment of commis-
sioners to arrange for the evacuation of the
Spanish Antilles.
On Aug. 12 M. Cambon announced his
receipt of full power to sign the protocol
PO submitted. Accordingly, on the after-
noon of Aug. 12, M. Carabon, as the pleni-
potentiary of Spain, and the secretary ol
state, as the plenipotentiary of the United
States, signed a protocol providing:
"Article 1. Spain will relinquish all claim
of sovereignty over and title to Cuba.
"Art. 2. Spain will cede to the United
States the island of Puerto Rico and othoi
islands now under Spanish sovereignty in
the West Indies, and also an island in the
Ludrones, to be selected by the United
States.
"Art. 3. The United States will occupy
and hold the city, bay and harbor of Manila
pending the conclusion of a treaty of peace
which shall determine the control, disposi-
tion and government of the Philippines."
The fourth article provided for the ap-
pointment of joint commissions on the part
of the United States and Spain, to meet in
Havana and San Juan, respectively, for the
s of the stipulated evacuation of
Cuba, Puerto Kico and other Spanish islands
in the West Indies.
The fifth article provided for the appoint-
ment of not more than five" commissioners
on each side, to meet at Paris not latei
than Oct. 1 and to proceed to the negotia.
tion and conclusion of a treaty of peace,
subject to ratification according to the re-
spective constitutional forms of the two
countries.
The sixth and las* article provided that
upon the signature of the protocol hos-
tilities between the two countries should be
suspended, and that notice to that effect
should be given as soon as possible by each
government to the commanders of its mili-
tary and naval forces.
Immediately upon the conclusion of the
protocol I issued a proclamation on Aug.
12 suspending hostilities on the part of the
United States. The necessary orders to
that end were at once given by telegraph.
The blockade of the ports of Cuba and San
Juan de Puerto Rico was in like manner
raised.
On Aug. 18 the muster-out of 100.000 vol-
unteers, or as near that number as was
found to be practicable, was ordered. On
Dec. 1 101,165 officers and men had been
mustered out and discharged from the serv-
ice; 9,002 more will be mustered out by the
10th of the month. Also a corresponding
number of generals and general staff officers
have been honorably discharged from' tht-
service.
The military committees to superintend
the evacuationof Cuba, Puerto Rico and the
adjacent islands were forthwith appointed^
for Cuba, Ma1.-Gen. James F. Wade, Rear-
Admiral William T. Sampson, Maj.-Gen.
Matthew C. Butler; for Puerto Rico, Mnj.-
Gen. John C. Brooke, Rear-Admiral Winfieid
S. Schley, Brlg.-Gen. W. Gordon — who soon
afterward met the Spanish commissioners
at Havana and San Juan respectively.
The Puerto RIcan joint commission speed
Ily accomplished its task, and by Oct. 18 the
evacuation of the island was completed.
The United States flag was raised over the
island at noon on that day. The adminltv
tration of its affairs has been p-ovisionally
Intrusted to a military governor until the.
congress shall otherwise provide.
The Cuban joint high commission has not
yet terminated its labors. Owing to the dif-
ficulties in the way of removing the largf
numbers of Spanish troops still in Cuba, the
evacuation cannot be completed before the
1st of January next.
328
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
Pursuant to the fifth article of the pro,
tocol, I appointed William K. Day, lately
secretary of state; Cushman K. Davis, Wil-
liam P. Frye and George Gray, senators ol
the United States, and Whitelaw Reid to I e
peace commissioners on the part of the
United States.
Proceeding In due season to Paris, they
there met on the 1st ol October five com-
missioners similarly appointed on the part
of Spain. The negotiations have made hope-
ful progress, so that I trust soon to be able
to lay a definitive treaty of peace before
the senate, with a review of the steps lead-
ing to its signature.
MILITARY RULE RECOMMENDED.
I do not discuss at this time the govern-
ment or the future of the new possessions
which will come to us as the result of the
war with Spain. Such discussion will be
appropriate after the treaty of peace shall
be ratified. In the meantime and until the
congress has legislated otherwise it will be
my duty to continue the military govern-
ments which have existed since our occupa-
tion and give the people security in life and
property and encouragement, under a just
and beneficent rule.
As soon as we were In possession of Cuba
and have pacified the island it will be
necessary to give aid and direction to Its
people to form a government for themselves.
This should be undertaken at the earliest
moment consistent with safety and assured
success.
It is important that our relations with
these people shall be of the most friendly
character and our commercial relations
close and reciprocal. It should be our duty
to assist In every proper way to build up
the waste places of the island, encourage
the Industry of the people and assist them
to form a government which shall be free
and Independent, thus realizing the best
aspirations of the Cuban people.
Spanish rnle must be replaced by a just,
benevolent and humane government, created
by the people of Cuba, capable of perform-
ing all international obligations, and which
shall encourage thrift, industry and pros-
perity and promote peace and good-will
among all of the inhabitants, whatever may
have been their relations in the past.
Neither revenge nor passion should have a
place in the new government.
Until there is complete tranquillity in the
island and a stable government inaugurated
military occupation will be continued.
RELATIONS WITH OTHER NATIONS.
- With the exception of the rupture with
TSpain, the intercourse of the United States
with the great family of nations has been
marked with cordiality, and the close of
the eventful year finds most of the issues
that necessarily arise in the complex rela-
tions of sovereign states adjusted or pre-
senting no serious obstacle to a just and
honorable solution by amicable agreement.
A long-unsettled dispute as to the ex-
tended boundary between the Argentine Re-
public and Chile, stretching along the An
dean crests from the southern border of the
Atacama desert to Magellan straits, nearly
a third of the length of the South American
continent, assumed an acute stage in the
early part of the year, and afforded to this
government an occasion to express the hope
that the resort to arbitration, already con-
templated by existing conventions between
the parties, might prevail despite the grave
difficulties arising in its application. I am
happy to say that arrangements to this end
have been perfected, the questions of fact
upon which the respective commissioners
were unable to agree being in course ol
reference to her Britannic majesty for de-
termination.
A residual difference touching the north-
ern boundary line across the Atacama
desert, for which existing treaties provided
no adequate adjustment, bids fair to be set-
tled in like manner by a joint commission,
upon which the United States minister at
Buenos Ayres has been invited to serve as
umpire in the last resort.
I have found occasion to approach the
Argentine government with a view of re-
moving differences of rate charges imposed
upon the cables of an American corporation
in the transmission between Buenos Ayres
and the cities of Uruguay and Brazil ol
through messages passing from and to the
United States. Although the matter is
complicated by exclusive concessions by
Uruguay and Brazil to foreign companies,
there is strong hope that a good understand-
ing will be reached and that the Important
channels of commercial communication be-
tween the United States and the Atlantic
cities of South America may be freed from
an almost prohibitory discrimination.
In this relation I may be permitted to ex.
press my sense of the fitness of an Inter,
national agreement whereby the interchange
of messages over connecting cables may be
regulated on a fair basis of uniformity.
The world has seen the postal system de-
veloped from an independent and exclusive
service into a well-ordered union, of which
all countries found the manifold benefits.
It would be strange were the nations not In
time brought to realize that modern civili-
zation, which owes so much of its progress
to the annihilation of space by the electric
force, demands that this all-important
means of communication be a heritage ol
all peoples, to be administered and regu-
lated in their common behoof.
A step in this direction was taken when
the international convention of 1884 for the
protection of submarine cables was slgnea,
and the day is, I trust, not far distant
when this medium for the transmission ot
thought from land to land may be brought
within the domain of international concert
as completely as is the material carriage of
commerce and correspondence upon the face
of the waters that divide them.
The claim of Thomas Jefferson Page
against Argentina, which has been pend-
ing many years, has been adjusted. The
sum awarded by the congress of Argentina
was $4,242.35.
The sympathy of the American people has
justly been offered to the ruler and the peo
pie of Austria-Hungary by reason of the
affliction that has lately befallen them in
the assassination of the empress-queen of
that historic realm.
On Sept. 10, 1897, a conflict took place at
Lattlmer, Pa., between a body of striking
miners and the sheriff of Luzerne count j
and his deputies, in which twenty-two
miners were killed and forty-four wounded.
Ten of the killed and twelve of the wounded
were Austrian and Hungarian subjects.
This deplorable event naturally aroused the
solicitude of the Anstro-Hunparian govern-
ment, which, on the assumption that the
killing and wounding involved the unjusti-
fiable misuse of authority, claimed repara.
tion for the sufferers. Apart from the
MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT.
329
searching investigation and the peremptory
action of the authorities of Pennsylvania,
the federal executive took appropriate steps
to learn the merits of the case, in order to
be in a position to meet the urgent com*
plaint of a friendly power.
The sheriff and his deputies, having been
Indicted for murder, were tried and ac-
quitted, after protracted proceedings and
the hearing of hundreds of witnesses, on
the ground that the killing was In the line
of their official duty to uphold law and
preserve public order in the state. A rep-
resentative of the department of justice at-
tended the trial and reported its course
fully.
With all the facts in Its possession, this
government expects to reach a harmonious
understanding on the subject with that of
Austria-Hungary, notwithstanding the re-
newed claim of the latter, after learning
the result of the trial, for indemnity for its
injured subjects.
INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITIONS.
Despite the brief time allotted for prep-
aration, the exhibits of this country at the
universal exposition at Brussels in 1897 en-
joyed the singular distinction of a largei
proportion of awards, having regard to the
number and classes of articles entered, than
those of other countries. The worth of such
a result in making known our national ca-
pacity to supply the world's markets is
obvious.
Exhibitions of this international character
are becoming more frequent as the ex«
changes of commercial countries grow more
intimate and varied. Hardly a year passes
that this government Is not invited to na-
tional participation at some important for-
eign center, but often on too short notice to
permit of recourse to congress for the power
and means to do so. My predecessors have
suggested the advisability of providing by
a general enactment and a standing appro,
priation for accepting such Invitations and
for representation of this country by a com.
mission. This plan has my cordial ap-
proval.
RESTRICTIONS OF TRADE.
I trust the Belgian restriction oji the im.
portations of cattle from the United States,
originally adopted as a sanitary precaution,
will at an early date be modified so as to
admit live cattle under due regulation of
their slaughter after landing. I am hope,
ful, too, of a favorable change In the Bel-
gian treatment of our preserved and salted
meats. The growth of direct trade between
the two countries, not alone for Belgian
consumption and Belgian products, but by
way of transit from and to other conti-
nental states, has been both encouraging
and beneficial. No effort will be spared to
enlarge its advantages by seeking the re-
moval of needless impediments and by a«\
rangements for Increased commercial ex-
changes.
The year's events in Central America de-
serve more than passing mention. A men-
acing rupture between Costa Rica and Wic-
aragua was happily composed by the signa-
ture of a convention between the parties,
with the concurrence of the Guatemalan
representative as a mediator, the act being
negotiated and signed on board the United
States steamer Alert, then lying in Central
American waters. It Is believed that the
good offices of our envoy and commander of
that vessel contributed toward this gratify-
ing outcome.
CENTRAL AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
In my last annual message the situation
was presented with respect to the diplo
matic representation of this government in
Central America created by the association
of Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador, un-
der the title of the Greater Republic ol
Central America, and the delegation of their
international functions to the diet thereof.
While the representative character of the
diet was recognized by my predecessor and
has been confirmed during my administra-
tion by receiving its accredited envoy and
granting exequaturs to consuls commis-
sioned under its authority that recognition
was qualified by the distinct understanding
that the responsibility of eacn of the com-
ponent sovereign republics toward the
United States remained wholly unaffected.
This proviso was needful inasmuch as the
compact of the three republics was at the
outset an association whereby certain rep.
resentative functions were delegated to a
tripartite commission rather than a federa-
tion possessing centralized powers of gov-
ernment and administration. In this view
of their relation and the relation of the
United States to several republics, a change
in the representation of this country In
Central America was neither recommended
by the executive nor initiated by congress,
thus leaving one of our envoys accredited as
heretofore separately to two states of the
greater republic, Nicaragua and Salvador,
and to a third state, Costa Rica, which
was not a party to the compact, while out
other envoy was similarly accredited to
the union state of Honduras and the now
union state of Guatemala. The result has
been that the one has presented credentials
only to the president of Costa Rica, the
other having been received only by the gov-
ernment of Guatemala.
Subsequently the three associated repub-
lics entered into negotiations for taking the
steps forecast in the original compact. A
convention of their delegates framed for
them a federal constitution under the name
of the United States of Central America
and provided for a central federal govern-
ment and legislature. Upon ratifleation bj
the constituent states the 1st of Novembet
last was fixed for the new system to go Into
operation. Within a few weeks thereafter
the plan was severely tested by revolution-
ary movements arising, with a consequent
demand for unity of action on the part ot
the military power of the federal states to
suppress them. Under this strain the new
union seems to have been weakened through
the withdrawal of its more important mem-
bers.
This government was not officially advised
of the Installation of the federation and has
maintained an attitude of friendly expect-
ancy, while In nowise relinquishing the
position held from the outset that the re-
sponsibilities of the several states toward
us remained unaltered by their tentative
relations among themselves.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
The Nicaragua canal commission, under
the chairmanship of Rear-Admiral John G.
Walker, appointed July 24, 1897, under the
authority of a provision in the sundry civil
act of June 4 of that year, has nearly com-
Eleted its labors, and the results of its ex-
austlve inquiry into the proper route, the
feasibility and the cost of construction of
330
CHICAGO DAILY NKWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
an Interoceanic canal by a Nicaraguan
route will be laid before you. In the per-
formance of Its task the commission re-
ceived all possible courtesy and assistance
from the governments of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, which thus testified their ap-
project that has for so many years en-
grossed the attention of the respective
countries.
As the scope of recent inquiry embraced
the whole subject, with the aim of rnak ng
plans and surveys for a canal by the most
convenient route, it necessarily included a
review of the results of previous surveys
and plans, and in particular those adopted
by the Maritime Canal company under its
existing concessions from Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, so that to this extent those
grants necessarily held an essential part in
the deliberations and conclusions of the
canal commission, as they have held and
must needs hold in the discussion of the
matter by congress.
Under these circumstances, and in view
of overtures made to the governments of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica by other par-
ties for a new canal concession, predi-
cated on the assumed approaching lapse
of the contracts of the Maritime Canal
company with those states, I have not hesi-
tated to express my conviction that con-
siderations of expediency and international
policy as between the several governments
Interested In the construction and control
of an Interoceanic canal by this route re-
quire the maintenance of the status quo
until the canal commission shall have re-
Eorted and the United States congress shall
ave had the opportunity to pass finally
upon the whole matter during the present
session, without prejudice by reason of auy
change In the existing conditions.
Nevertheless, it appears that the govern-
ment of Nicaragua, as one of Its last sov-
ereign acts before merging Its powers in
those of the newly formed United Statfs ff
Central America, has granted an optional
concession to another association, to be-
come effective on the expiration of the
present grant. It does not appear what
surveys have been made or what route is
proposed under this contingent grant, so
that an examination of the feasibility of its
plans is necessarily not embraced in the
report of the canal commission.
All these circumstances suggest the ur-
gency of some definite action by the con-
gress at this session if the labors of the
past are to be utilized and the linking of
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by a prac-
tical waterway is to be realized. That the
construction of such a maritime highway is
now more than ever Indispensable to that
intimate and ready intercommunication be-
tween our eastern and western seaboards
demanded by the annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands and the prospective expan-
sion of our influence and commerce In the
Pacific, and that our national policy now
more imperatively than ever calls for Its
control by this government, are propositions
which I doubt not the congress will duly
appreciate and wisely act upon.
A convention providing for the revival
of the late United States and Chilean
claims commission, and the consideration of
claims which were duly presented to the
late commission, but not considered be-
cause of the expiration of the time limited
for the duration of the commission, was
signed May 24, 1897, and has remained un-
acted upon by the senate. The term therein
tlxed for effecting the change or ratifica-
tions having elapsed, the convention falls,
unless the time be extended by amendment,
which I am endeavoring to bring about,
with the friendly concurrence of the
Chilean government,
AMERICA'S INTERESTS IN CHINA.
The United States has not been an in-
different spectator of the extraorainary
events transpiring in the Chinese empire,
whereby portions of its maritime provinces
are passing under control of various Euro-
pean powers, but the prospect that the vast
commerce which the energy of our citizens
and the necessity of our staple productions
for Chinese uses has built up in those re-
gions may not be prejudiced through any
exclusive treatment by the new occupants
has obviated the need of our country be-
coming an actor in the scene.
Our position among nations having a large
Pacific coast and a constantly expanding
direct trade with the farther orient gives
us an equitable claim to consideration ana
friendly treatment in this regard, and it
will be my aim to subserve our large In-
terests in that quarter by all means ap-
propriate to the constant policy or our gov-
ernment.
The territories of Kiao-Chou, of Wei-
Hai-Wei and of Port Arthur and Talien
Wan, leased to Germany, Great Britain
and Russia respectively for terms of years,
will, . it is announced, be open to interna-
tional commerce during such alien occupa-
tion, and if no discriminating treatment of
American clt;zens and their trade be found
to exist or be hereafter developed, the de-
sire of this government would appear to be
realized.
In this relation, as showing the ' volume
and value of our exchanges with China and
the peculiarly favorable conditions which
exist for their expansion in the normal
course of trade, I refer to the communica-
tion addressed to the speaker of the house
of representatives by the secretary of the
treasury on the 14th of last June, with the
accompanying letter of the secretary of
state, recommending an appropriation for a
commission to study the commercial and in-
dustrial conditions in the Chinese empire
and report as to the opportunities for and
obstacles to the enlargement of markets In
China for the raw products and manufac-
tures of the United States. Action was
not taken thereon during the late session.
I cordially urge that the recommendation
receive at your hands the consideration
which its importance and timeliness merit.
Meanwhile there may be just ground for
disquietude in view of the unrest and re-
vival of the old sentiment of opposition and
prejudice to alien people which pervades
certain of the Chinese provinces.
As in the case of the attacks upon our
citizens in Szechuan and at Kutien In
1885, the United States minister has been
instructed to secure the fullest measure of
protection, both local and imperial, for any
menaced American interests, and to de-
mand, in case of lawless Injury to person
or property, instant reparation appropriate
to the case.
Warships have been stationed at Tien-
tsin for more ready observation of the dis-
orders which have invaded even the Chi-
nese capital, so as to be in a position to
act should need arise, while a guard of
marines has been sent to Pekin to afford
the minister the same measure of authorita-

other nations have been constrained to em-
ploy.
DISPUTE OF ITALY AND COLOMBIA.
Following close upon the rendition of the
award of iny predecessor as arbitrator of
the claim of the Italian subject, Cerruti,
against the republic of Colombia, differ-
ences arose between the parties to the arbi-
tration in regard to the scope and extension
of the award, of which certain articles were
contested by Colombia, while Italy claimed
their literal fulfillment. The award haying
been made by the president of the United
States as an act of friendly consideration
and with the sole view to an impartial com-
position of the matter in dispute, I could
not but feel concern at such a miscarriage,
and, while unable to accept the Colombian
theory that I, in my official capacity, pos-
sessed continuing function as arbitrator,
with power to interpret or revise the terms
of the award, my best efforts were lent to
bringing the parties to a harmonious agree-
ment as to the execution of its provisions.
A naval demonstration by Italy resulted
in an engagement to pay the liabilities
claimed upon their ascertainment; but this
apparent disposition of the controversy was
followed by a rupture of diplomatic inter-
course between Colombia aud Italy, which
still continues, although fortunately with-
out acute symptoms having supervened.
Notwithstanding this, efforts are reported to
be continuing for the ascertainment of Co-
lombia's contingent liability on account of
Cerruti's debts, under the fifth article of
the award.
The claim of an American citizen against
the Dominican republic for a public bridge
over the Ozama river, which has been In
diplomatic controversy for several years,
has been settled by expert arbitration and
an award In favor of the claimant amount-
ing to about $90,000. It, however, remains
unpaid, despite urgent demands for its set-
tlement according to the terms of the com-
THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
There Is now every prospect that the par-
ticipation of the United States in the uni-
versal exposition to be held in Paris in 1900
will be on a scale commensurate with the
advanced position held by our products and
industries in the world's chief marts.
The preliminary report of Moses P.
Handy, who under the act approved July
19, 1897, was appointed special commis-
sioner, with a view to securing all at-
tainable information necessary to a full
and complete understanding by congress in
regard to the participation of this govern-
ment In the Paris exposition, was laid be-
fore you by message of Dec. 6, 1897, and
showed the large opportunities opened to
make known our national progress in arts,
science and manufactures, as well as the
urgent need of immediate and adequate
provision to enable due advantage thereof
to be taken. Mr. Handy's death soon after-
ward rendered it necessary for another to
take up and complete his unfinished work,
and on Jan. 11 last Thomas W. Crldler,
third assistant secretary of state, was des-
ignated to fnlllll that task. His report was
laid before you by my message of June 14,
1898, with the gratifying result of awaken-
ing renewed Interest in the projected dis-
play.
By a provision in the sundry civil appro-
priation act of July 1, 1898, a sum not to
exceed $650,001) was allotted for the organ-
ization of a commission to care for the
proper preparation and installation of
American exhibits and for the display of
suitable exhibits by the several executive
departments, particularly by the depnrt-
ment of. agriculture, the flsh commission
and the Smithsonian institution, in the rep-
resentation of the government of the United
States, Pursuant to that enactment I ap-
pointed Ferdinand W. Peck of Chicago com-
missioner-general, with an assistant com-
missioner-general and secretary. Mr. Peck
at once proceeded to Paris, where his suc-
cess In enlarging the scope and variety of
the United States exhibit has been most
gratifying.
Notwithstanding the comparatively lim-
ited area of the exposition, site — less than
one-half that of the World's Fair at Chi-
cago—the space assigned to the United
States has been increased from the abso-
lute allotment of 157,403 square feet re-
ported by Mr. Handy to some 202,000 square
feet, with corresponding augmentation of
the field for a truly characteristic repre-
sentation of the various important branches
of our country's development.
Mr. Peck's report will be laid before you.
In my judgment its recommendations will
call for your early consideration, especially
as regards an Increase of the appropriation
to at least $1,000,000 in all, so that not only
may the assigned space be fully taken up
by the best possible exhibitor in every class,
but the preparation and installation be on
so perfect a scale as to rank among the
first in that unparalleled competition of ar-
tistic and inventive production, and thus
counterbalance the disadvantage with
which we start as compared with other
countries whose appropriations are on a
more generous scale and whose preparations
are in a state of mucji greater forwardness
than our own.
Where our artisans have the admitted ca-
pacity to excel, where our inventive genius
has initiated many of the grandest discov-
eries of these later days of the century, and
where the native resources of our land are
as limitless as they are valuable to supply
the world's needs, it Is our province, as It
should be our earnest care, to lead in the
march of human progress and not rest con-
tent with any secondary place. Moreover,
if this be due to ourselves It Is no less due
to the great French nation, whose guests
we become, and which has In so many ways
testified its wishes and hope that our par-
ticipation shall befit the place the two peo-
ples have won in the field of universal de-
velopment.
REMOVAL OF TRADE RESTRICTIONS.
The commercial arrangement made with
France on May 28, 1898, under the provi-
sions of section 3 of the tariff act of 1897.
went into effect on June 1, following. It
has relieved a portion of our export trade
from serious embarrassment. Further nego-
tiations are now pending unlor si-rtion 4
of the same act, with a view to the in-
crease of trade between the two countries
to their mutual advantage.
Negotiations with other governments, In
part interrupted by the war with Spain, are
in progress under both sections of the tariff
act. I hope to be able to announce some of
the results of these negotiations during the
present session of congress.
Negotiations to the same end with Ger-
many have been set on foot. Meanwhile
no effort has been relaxed to convince the

Imperial government of the thoroughness of
our inspection of pork products tor ex-
portation, and It Is trusted that the efficient
administration of this measure by the de-
partment of agriculture will be recognized
as a guaranty of the healthfulness of the
food staples we send abroad to countries
where their use Is large and necessary.
I transmitted to the senate on Feb. 10
last Information touching the prohibition
against the importation of fresh fruits from
this country which had then recently been
decreed by Germany on the ground of dan-
ger of disseminating the San Jose scale in-
sect. This precautionary nieasuie was jus-
tified by Germany on the score of the dras-
tic steps taken in several states of the
union against the spread of the pest, the
elaborate reports of the department of agri-
culture being put In evidence to show the
danger to German fruit-growing interests
should the scale obtain a lodgment in that
country.
Temporary relief was afforded in the case
of large consignments of fruit then on the
way by inspection and admission when
found non-infected. Later the prohibition
was extended to dried fruits of every kind,
but was relaxed so as to apply only to un-
peeled fruit and fruit waste.
As was expected, the alarm reached to
other countries and Switzerland has adopted
a similar inhibition. Efforts are in progress
to Induce the German and Swiss govern-
ments to relax the prohibition in favor of
dried fruits shown to have been cured un-
der circumstances rendering the existence
of animal life impossible.
FRIENDSHIP OF GREAT BRITAIN.
Our relations with Great Britain have con-
tinued on the most friendly footing. As-
senting to our request, the protection of
Americans and their interests in Spanish
jurisdiction was assilmed by the diplomatic
and consular representatives of Great Brit-
ain, who fulfilled their delicate and ardu-
ous trust with tact and zeal, eliciting high
commendation. I may be allowed to make
fitting allusion to the instance of Mr.
Ramsden, her majesty's consul at Santiago
de Cuba, whose untimely death after dis-
tinguished service and untiring effort dur-
ing the siege of that city was sincerely la-
mented.
In the early part of April last, pursuant
to a request made at the instance of the
secretary of state by the British ambas-
sador at this capital, the Canadian govern-
ment granted facilities for the passage of
four United States revenue cutters from the
great lakes to the Atlantic coast by way of
the Canadian canal and the St. Lawrence
river. The vessels had reached Lake On-
tario and were there awaiting the opening
of navigation when war was declared be-
tween the United States and Spain.
Her majesty's government thereupon, by
a communication of the latter part of April,
stated that the permission granted before
the outbreak of hostilities would not be
withdrawn, provided the United States
government gave assurance that the vessels
in question would proceed direct to a United
States port without engaging in any hos-
tile operation. This government promptly
agreed to the stipulated condition, it being
understood that the vessels would not be
prohibited from resisting any hostile at-
tack.
It will give me especial satisfaction if I
shall be authorized to communicate to you
a favorable conclusion of the pending nego-
tiations with Great Britain in respect to
the Dominion of Canada. It is the earnest
wish of this government to remove all
sources of discord and irritation in our re-
lations with the neighboring dominion. The
trade between the two countries is con-
stantly increasing and it is important to
both countries that all reasonable facilities
should be granted for its development.
The government of Greece strongly urges
the onerousness of the duty here imposed
upon the currants of that country, amount-
ing to 100 per cent or more of their market
value, This fruit is stated to be exclusively
a Greek product, not coming into competi-
tion with any domestic product. The ques-
tion of reciprocal commercial relations
with Greece, including the restoration of
currants to the free list, is under consid-
eration.
The long-standing claim of Berand Camp-
bell for damages for injuries sustained from
a violent assault committed against him by
military authorities in the island of Haiti
has been settled by the agreement of that
republic to pay him $10,000 In American
gold. Of this sum $5,000 has already been
paid. It is hoped that other pending claims
of American citizens against that republic
may be amicably adjusted.
THE AMERICAN FLAG IN HAWAII.
Pending the consideration by the senate
of the treaty signed June 16, 1897, by the
plenipotentiaries of the United States and
the republic of Hawaii, providing for the
annexation of the islands, a joint resolu-
tion to accomplish the same purpose by ac-
cepting the offered cession and incorpora-
ting the ceded territory into the union was
adopted by congress and approved July 7,
1898. I. thereupon directed the United
States steamer Philadelphia to convey Rear-
Admiral Miller to Honolulu and intrusted
to his hands this important legislative act.
to be delivered to the president of the re-
public of Hawaii, with whom the admiral
and the United States minister were au-
thorized to make appropriate arrangement?
for transferring the sovereignty of the
islands to the United States.
This was simply but impressively accom-
plished on the 12th of August last by the
delivery of a certified copy of the resolu-
tion to President Dole, who thereupon
yielded up to the representative of the gov-
ernment of the United States the sover-
eignty and public property of the Hawaiian
islands.
Pursuant to the terms of the joint reso-
lution and in exercise of the authority
thereby conferred upon me, I directed that
the civil, judicial and military powers
theretofore exercised by the officers of the
government of the republic of Hawaii
should continue to be exercised by those
officers until congress shall provide a gov-
ernment for the incorporated territory, sub-
ject to my power to remove such officers
and fill vacancies. The president, officers
-and troops of the republic thereupon took
the oath of allegiance to the United States,
thus providing for the uninterrupted con-
tinuance of all the administrative and mu-
nicipal functions of the annexed territory
until congress shall otherwise enact.
Following the further provisions of the
joint resolution, I appointed the Hon. Shelby
M. Cullom of Illinois. John T. Morgan of
Alabama, Robert R. Hitt of Illinois, San-
ford B. Dole of Hawaii and Walter B.
MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT.

Freer of Hawaii as commissioners to con-
fer and recommend to congress such legis-
lation concerning the Hawaiian islands as
they should deem necessary or proper. The
commissioners having fulfilled the mission
confided to them, their report will be laid
before you at an early day.
It is believed that their recommendations
will have the earnest consideration due to
the magnitude of the responsibility resting
upon you to give such shape to the relation-
ship of those mid-Pacific lands to our home
union as will benefit both in the highest
degree, realizing the aspirations of the
community that has cast Its lot with us and
elected to share our political heritage,
while at the same time justifying the
foresight of those who for three-quarters of
a century have looked to the annexation of
Hawaii as a natural and inevitable con-
summation, In harmony with our needs and
In fulfillment of our cherished traditions.
The questions heretofore pending between
Hawaii and Japan, growing out of the al-
leged mistreatment of Japanese treaty Im-
migrants, were, I am pleased to say, ad-
justed before the act of transfer by the
payment of a reasonable Indemnity to the
government of Japan.
tinder the provisions of the joint resolu-
tion the existing customs relations of the
Hawaiian islands with the United States
and with other countries remain unchanged
until legislation shall otherwise provide.
The consuls of Hawaii here and in foreign
countries continue to fulfill their commer-
cial agencies, while the United States con-
sulate at Honolulu is maintained for all
proper services pertaining to trade and the
revenue. It would be desirable that all for-
eign consuls in the Hawaiian islands should
receive new exequaturs from this govern-
ment.
The attention of congress Is called to
the fact that our consular offices having
ceased to exist In Hawaii, and being about
to cease in other countries coming under
the sovereignty of the United States, the
provisions for the relief and transportation
of destitute American seamen In these
countries under our consular regulations
will in consequence terminate. It Is proper,
therefore, that new legislation should be en-
acted upon this subject in order to meet the
changed conditions.
NEW EXTRADITION TREATIES.
The Interpretation of certain provisions
of the extradition convention of Dee. 11,
1861, has been at various times the occasion
of controversy with the government of
Mexico. An acute difference arose in the
case of the Mexican demand for the deliv-
ery of Jesus Guerrera, who, having led a
marauding expedition near the border with
the proclaimed purpose of initiating an in-
surrection against President Diaz, escaped
into Texas. Kxtraditlon was refused on the
ground that the alleged offense was polit-
ical in its character and therefore came
within the treaty proviso of non-surrender.
The Mexican contention was that the ex-
ception only related to purely political of-
fenses, and that as Guerrera's acts were ad-
mixed with the common crimes of murder,
arson, kidnaping and robbery the option of
non-delivery became void — a position which
this government was unable to admit, in
vic\\ of the accepted International doctrine
and practice in the matter. The Mexican
government, in view of this, gave notice
Jan. 24, 1898, of the termination of the con-
vention, to take effect twelve months from
that date, at the same time inviting the
conclusion of a new convention, toward
which negotiations are on foot.
In this relation I may refer to the neces-
sity of some amendment of our existing ex-
tradition statute. It is a common stipula-
tion of such treaties that neither party shall
be bound to give up its own citizens, with
the added proviso in one of our treaties,
that with Japan, that it may surrender if it
see fit. It is held in this country, by an al-
most uniform course of decisions, that,
where a treaty negatives the obligation to
surrender, the president Is not invested
with legal authority to act. The confer-
ment of such authority would be In the
line of that sound morality which shrinks
from affording secure asylum to the author
of a heinous crime. Again, statutory pro-
vision might well be made for what Is
styled extradition by way of transit,
whereby a fugitive surrendered by one for-
eign government to another may be con-
veyed across the territory of the United
States to the jurisdiction of the demanding
state. A recommendation In this behalf,
made In the president's message of 1886,
was not acted upon. The matter is pre-
sented for your consideration.
The problem of the Mexican free zone has
been often discussed with regard to Its in-
convenience as a provocative of smuggling
Into the United States along an extensive
and thinly guarded land border. The ef-
fort made by the joint resolution of March
1, 1895, to remedy the abuse charged, by sus-
pending the privilege of free transportation
in bond across the country of the United
States to Mexico, failed of good result, as is
stated in report No. 702 of the house of rep-
resentatives, submitted in the last session,
March 11, 1898. As the question is one to be
conveniently met by wise concurrent legis-
lation of the two countries looking to the
protection of the revenues by harmonious
measures operating equally on either side
of the boundary, rather than by conventional
arrangements, I suggest that congress con-
sider the advisability of authorizing and in-
viting a conference of representatives of the
treasury departments of the United States
and Mexico to consider the subject in all its
complex bearings, and make report, with
pertinent recommendations, to the respec-
tive governments for the information and
consideration of their congresses.
The Mexican water boundary commission
has adjusted'all matters submitted to it to
the satisfaction of both governments save
in three important cases — that of the Charn-
izal at El Paso, Tex., where the two com-
missioners failed to agree, and wherein, for
this case only, this government has pro-
posed to Mexico the addition of a third
member; the proposed elimination of what
are known as bancos," small isolated
islands formed by the cutting off of bends in
the Rio Grande, from the operations of the
treaties of 1884 and 1889, recommended by
the commissioners and approved by this
government, but still under consitleration by
Mexico; and the subject of the "equitable
distribution of the waters of the Rio
Grande," for which the commissioners rec-
ommended an international dam and reser-
voir, approved by Mexico, but still under
consideration by this government. Pendin
these questions It Is necessary to exten
the life of the commission, which expires
Dec. 23 next.

THE M'CORD CLAIM.
The claim of Victor H. McCord against
Peru, which for a number of years has been
pressed by this government and has on sev-
eral occasions attracted the attention of
the congress, has been satisfactorily ad-
justed. A protocol was signed May 17, 1898,
whereby, the fact of liability being ad-
mitted, the question of the amount to be
awarded was submitted to the chief justice
of Canada as sole arbitrator. His award
sets the indemnity due the claimant at
$40,000.
The government of Peru has given the
prescribed notification of its intention to

CZAR'S PEACE PROPOSALS.
His majesty the czar having announced
his purpose to raise the imperial Russian
mission at this capital to the rank of an
embassy, I responded, under the authority
conferred by the act of March 3, 1893, by
commissioning and accrediting the actual
representative at St. Petersburg in the ca-
pacity of ambassador extraordinary and
plenipotentiary. The Russian ambassador
to this country has since presented his cre-
dentials.
The proposal of the czar for a general re-
duction of the vast military establishments
that weigh so heavily upon many peoples in
time of peace was communicated to this
government with an earnest invitation to
be represented in the conference which it is
contemplated to assemble with a view to
discussing the means of accomplishing so
desirable a result. His majesty was at
once informed of the cordial sympathy of
this government with the principle in-
volved in his exalted proposal and of the
readiness of the United States to take part
in the conference.
The active military force of the United
States, as measured by our population, ter-
ritorial area and taxable wealth, is, and
under any conceivable conditions must con-
tinue to be, in times of peace, so conspicu-
ously less than that of the armed powers to
whom the czar's appeal is especially ad-
dressed that the question can have for us
no practical importance save as marking an
auspicious step toward the betterment of
the condition of modern peoples and the
cultivation of peace and good-will among
them; but in this view it behooves us as a
nation to lend countenance and aid to the
beneficial project.

Hans for wrongful arrest of the master
and detention of the vessel in February,
1896, by officers of the United States Dis-
trict court for the southern district of
Mississippi. The papers accompanying my
said message make out a most meritorious
claim and justify the urgency with which
it has been presented by the government of
Russia.
DEATH OF SAMOAN KING.
Malietoa Laupepa, king of Samoa, died
Aug. 22 last. According to article 1 of the
§eneral act of Berlin, "his successor shall
e duly elected according to the laws and
customs of Samoa." Arrangements having
been agreed upon between the signatories of
the general act for the return of Mataafa
and the other exiled .Samoan chiefs, they
were brought from Jaluit by a German wai
vessel and landed at Apia Sept. 18 last.
Whether the death of Malietoa and the re-
turn of his old-time rival, Mataafa, will
add to the undesirable complications which
the execution of the tripartite general act
has heretofore developed remains to be
seen. The efforts of this government will,
as heretofore, be addressed toward a har-
monious and exact fulfillment of the terms
of the international engagement to which
the United States became a party in 1889.
The Cheek claim against Siam, after
some five years of controversy, has been
adjusted by arbitration, under an agree-
ment signed July 6, 1897, an award of
706,721 ticals (about $187,987), with release
of the Cheek estate from mortgage claims,
having been rendered March 21, 1898, in
favor of the claimant by the arbitrator,
Sir Nicholas John Hannen, British chief
justice for China and Japan.
An envoy from Siam has been accredited
to this government and has presented his
credentials.
Immediately upon the outbreak of the war
with Spain the Swiss government, fulfilling
the high mission it has deservedly assumed
as the patron of the International Red
Cross, proposed to the United States and
Spain that they should. severally recognize
and carry into execution as a modus vivendl
during the continuance of hostilities, the
additional articles proposed by the interna-
tional conference of Geneva. Oc-t. 20, 1S68,
extending the effects of the existing Red
Cross convention of 1864 to the conduct of
naval war. Following the example set by
France and Germany in 1870 in adopting
such a modus Vivendi, and in view of the
accession of the United States to those ad-
ditional articles in 1882, although the ex-
change of ratifications thereof still re-
mained uneffected, the Swiss proposal was
promptly and cordially accepted by us and
simultaneously by Spain.
This government feels a keen satisfaction
in having thus been enabled to testify its
adherence to the broadest principles of hu-
manity even amid the clash of war, and It
is to be hoped that the extension of the
Red Cross compact to hostilities by sea
as well as on land may soon become an ac-
complished fact through the general pro-
mulgation of the additional naval Red
Cross articles by the maritime powers now
parties to the convention of 1864.

CLAIMS AGAINST TURKEY.
The newly accredited envoy of the United
States to the Ottoman porte carries in-
structions looking to the disposal of matters
in controversy with Turkey for a number of
years. He is especially charged to press for
a just settlement of our claims for indem-
nity by reason of the destruction of the
property of American missionaries resident
In that country during the Armenian
troubles of 1895, as well as for the recogni-
tion of older claims of equal justness.
He is also instructed to seek an adjust-
ment of the dispute growing out of the re-
fusal of Turkey to recognize the acquired
citizenship of Ottoman-born persons natural-
ized In the United States since 1869, with-
out prior imperial consent; and In the same
general relation he Is directed to endeavor
to bring about a solution of the question
which has more or less acutely existed
since 1869 concerning the jurisdictional
rights of the United States in matters of
criminal procedure and punishment under
article 4 of the treaty of 1830. This latter
difficulty grows out of a verbal difference,
claimed by Turkey to be essential, between
the original Turkish text and the promul-
gated translation.
After more than two years from the ap-
pointment of a consul of this country to Er-

THE VENEZUELAN ARBITRATION.
The arbitral tribunal appointed under the
treaty of February, 1897, between Great
Britain and Venezuela, to determine the
boundary line between the latter and the
colony of British Guiana, is to convene at
Paris during the present n ninth. It Is a
source of much gratification to this govern-
ment to see the friendly resort of arbitra-
tion applied to the settlement of this con-
troversy, not alone because of the earnest
part we have had in bringing about the re-
sult, but also because the two members
named on behalf of Venezuela, Mr. Chief
Justice Fuller and Mr. Justice Brewer,
chosen from our highest court, appropri-
ately testify the continuing interest we
feel In the definitive adjustment of the
question according to the strictest rules of
justice. The British members, Lord Her-
schell and Sir Hicbard Collins, are jurists
of no less exalted repute, while the fifth
member, and president of the tribunal. M.
F. de Martens, has earned a world-wide
reputation as an authority upon Interna-
tional law.
The claim of Felipe Scandella against
Venezuela for arbitrary expulsion and in-
jury to his business ras been adjusted by
the revocation of the ordor of expulsion and
by the payment of the sum of $lfi,000.
BUREAU OF AMERICAN REPUBLICS.
I have the satisfaction of being able to
state that the bureau of American repub-
lics, created in 1890 as the organ for pro-
moting commercial intercourse and frater-
nal relations among the countries of the
western hemisphere, bus become a more ef-
ficient instrument of the wise purposes of
its founders and is receiving the cordial
support of the contributing members of tne
international union which are actually rep-
resented in its board of management. A
commercial directory, in two volumes, con-
taining a mass of statistical matter de-
scriptive of the industrial and commercial
interests of the various countries, has been
printed in English, Spanish, Portuguese and
French, and a monthly bulletin published
in these four languages and distributed in
the Latin-American countries, as well as
In the United States, has proved to be a
valuable medium for disseminating informa-
tion and furthering the varied interests of
the international union.
During the last year the important work
of collecting information of practical bene
fit to American industries and trade through
the agency of the diplomatic and consular
officers has been steadily advanced, and in
order to lay such data before the public
with the least delay the practice was oeguu
in January, 1898, of issuing the commercial
reports from day to day as they are received
by the department of state. It is believed
that for promptitude as well as fullness of
information the service thus supplied to our
merchants and manufacturers will be found
to show sensible improvement and to merit
the liberal support of the congress.
CAPTURE OF PRIVATE PROPERTY.
The experiences of the last year bring
forcibly home to us a sense of the burdens
and the waste of war. We desire, in com-
mon with most civilized nations, to reduce
to the lowest possible point the damage sus-
tained in time of war by peaceable trade
and commerce. It is true we may suffer in
such cases less than other communities, but
all nations are damaged more or less by tne
state of uneasiness and apprehension into
which an outbreak of hostilities throws the
entire commercial world. It should be our
object, therefore, to minimize, so far as
practicable, this inevitable loss and dis-
turbance. This purpose can probably be
best accomplished by an international
agreement to regard all private property at
sea as exempt from capture or destruction
by the forces of belligerent powers. The
United States government has for many
years advocated this humane and beneficent
principle, and is now in position to recom-
mend it to other powers without the im-
putation of selfish motives. I therefore sug-
gest for Tour consideration that the execu-
tive be authorized to correspond with the
governments of the principal maritime pow-
ers with a view of incorporating into the
permanent law of civilized nations the prin-
ciple of the exemption of all private prop-
erty at sea, not contraband of war, from
capture or destruction by bellllgerent pow-
ers.
CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
The secretary of the treasury reports that
the receipts of the government from all
sources during the fiscal year ended June 30.
1896, including $84,751,223 received from sale
of Pacific railroads, amounted to $405,321,335,
and its expenditures to $443.368,582. There
was collected from -customs $149,575,062 and
from internal revenue $170.900,641. Our du-
tiable imports amounted to $324,735,479, a
decrease of $58,156,690 over the preceding
year, and importations free of duty amount-
ed to $291.414,175, a decrease from the pre-
ceding year of $90,524.068. Internal revenue
receipts exceeded those of the preeedinj
year by $24.212,068. The total tax collecte<
on distilled spirits was $92,546,999, on
manufactured tobacco $36.230,522 and on fer-
mented liquors $39,515,421. We exported
merchandise during the year amounting to
336
CHICAGO DAJLY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
$1,231,482,330, au increase of $180,488,774 from
the preceding year.
It is estimated, upon the basis of present
revenue laws, that the receipts of the gov-
ernment for the year ending June 30. 1899,
will be $577,874,607, and Its expenditures
$689^874,647, resulting in a deficiency of
$112,000,000.
On the 1st of December, 1898, there was
held In the treasury gold amounting to
$138,441,547, gold bullion amounting to $138,-
502,545, silver bullion amounting to $93,-
359,250, and other forms of money amounting
to $451,963,981.
On the same date the amount of money of
all kinds in circulation or not Included In
treasury holdings was $1,836,879,504, an in-
crease for the year of $165,794,966. Esti-
mating our population at 75,194,000 at the
time mentioned, the per capita circulation
was $25.09.
The provisions made for strengthening the
resources of the treasury in connection
with the war have given increased confi-
dence in the purpose and power of the gov-
ernment to maintain the present standard
and have established more firmly than ever
the national credit at home and abroad. A
marked evidence of this Is found in the in-
flow of gold to the treasury. Its net gold
holdings Nov. 1, 1898, wore $239,885,160, com-
pared with $153,573.147 Nov. 1, 1897, and an
increase of net cash of from $207.756.100 Nov.
1, 1897, to $300,238,275 Nov. 1, 1898. The pres-
ent ratio of net treasury gold to outstand-
ing government liabilities, including United
States treasury notes of 1890, silver cert id-
eates, currency certificates, standard silver
dollars and fractional silver coin, Nov. 1,
1898, was 25.35 per cent, as compared with
16.96 per cent Nov. 1, 1897.
I renew so much of my recommendation
of December, 1897, as follows:
"That when any of the United States
notes are presented for redemption in gold
and are redeemed in gold such notes snail
be kept and set apart and only paid out • in
exchange for gold. This is an obvious duty.
If the holder of the United States note pre-
fers the gold and gets it from the govern-
ment he should not receive back from the
government a United States note without
?aying gold in exchange for it. The reason
or this is made all the more apparent
when the government issues an interest-
bearing debt to provide gold for the re-
demption of United States notes — a non-
interest-bearing debt. Surely it should not
pay them out again except on demand and
for gold. If they are put out in any other
way they may return again, to be followed
by another bond issue to redeem them —
another interest-bearing debt to redeem a
non-interest-bearing debt."
This recommendation was made in the
belief that such provisions of law would In-
sure to a greater degree the safety of the
present standard and oetter protect our cur-
rency from the dangers to which it is sub-
jected from a disturbance in the general
business conditions of the country.
In my judgment the present condition of
the treasury amply justifies the imiuediate
enactment of the legislation recommended
one year ago, under which a portion of the
gold holdings should be placed In a trust
fund from which greenbacks should be re-
deemed upon presentation, but when once
redeemed should not thereafter be paid out
except for gold.
It is not to be inferred that other legisla-
tion relating to our currency is not re-
quired; on the contrary, there is an obvious
demand for It. The importance of adequate
provision which will insure to our future a
money standard related as our money
standard now is to that of our commercial
rivals is generally recognized. The com-
panion proposition that our domestic paper
currency shall be kept safe and yet be so i
related to the needs of our industries and I
Internal commerce as to be adequate and
responsive to such needs Is a proposition
scarcely less important. The subject. In all
Its parts, is commended to the wise consid-
eration of the congress.
The annexation of Hawaii and the
changed relations of the United States to
Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines, re-
sulting from the war, compel the prompt
adoption of a maritime policy by the
United States. There should be established
a regular and frequent steamship com-
munication, encouraged by the United
States, under the American flag, with the
newly acquired islands. Spain furnished to
its colonies, at an annual cost of about
$2,000,000, steamship lines communicating
with a portion of the world's markets as
well as with trade centers of the home
govern merit.
The United States will not undertake to
do less. It is our duty to furnish the people
of Hawaii with facilities under national
control for their export and import trade.
It will be conceded that the present situa-
tion calls for legislation which shall be
urgent, durable and liberal.
The part which American merchant ves-
sels and their seamen performed In the
war with Spain demonstrates that this
service, furnishing both pickets and the sec-
ond line of defense, Is a national necessity
and should be encouraged in every constitu-
tional way.
Details and methods for the accomplish-
ment of this purpose are discussed in the re-
port of the secretary of the treasury, to
which the attention of the congress is re-
spectfully invited.
In my last annual message I recommended
that the congress authorize the appoint-
ment of a commission for the purpose
of making systematic investigations with
reference to the cause and prevention of
yellow fever. This matter has acquired an
Increased importance as a result of the
military occupation of the island of Cuba
and the commercial intercourse between
this island and the United States which we
have every reason to expect. The sanitary
problems connected with our new relations
with the island of Cuba and the acquisition
of Puerto Rico are no less important than
those relating to finance, commerce and ad-
ministration. It is my earnest desire that
these problems may be considered by com-
petent experts and that everything may be
done which the most recent advances in
sanitary science can offer for the protec-
tion of the health of our soldiers in these
islands and .of our citizens who are ex-
posed to the dangers of infection from the
importation of yellow fever. I therefore re-
new my recommendation that the authority
of the congress may be given and a suitable
appropriation made to provide for a com-
mission of experts to be appointed for the
purpose indicated.
INCREASE OF REGULAR ARMY.
Under the act of congress approved April
26. 1898, authorizing the president, in his
discretion, "upon tho declaration of war by
the congress, or a declaration by the con-
gress that war exists," I directed the in-
MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT.
337
crease of the regular army to the maximum
of 62,000, authorized by said act.
There are now in the regular army 57,862
officers and men. In said act it was pro-
vided "that at the end of any war in which
the United States may become Involved the
army shall be reduced to a peace basis by
the transfer in the same arm of the service
or absorption by promotion or honorable dis-
charge, under such regulations as the sec-
retary of war may establish, of supernumer-
ary commissioned officers and the honorable
discharge or transfer of supernumerary en-
listed men; and nothing contained in this
act shall be construed as authorizing the
permanent increase of the commissioned or
enlisted force of the regular army beyond
that now provided by the law In force prior
to the passage of this act, except as to the
increase of twenty-five majors provided for
In section 1 hereof."
The importance of legislation for the per-
manent increase of the army Is therefore
manifest and the recommendation of the
secretary of war for that purpose has my
unqualified approval. There can be no ques-
tion that at this time and probably for
some time In the future 100,000 men will be
none too many to meet the necessities of
the situation. At all events, whether the
number shall be required permanently or
not, the power should be given to the
president to enlist that force If In his dis-
cretion It should be necessary, and the
further discretion should be given him to
recruit within the above limit from the In-
habitants of the islands with the govern-
ment of which we are charged.
It Is my purpose to muster out the entire
volunteer army as soon as the congress
shall provide for the Increase of the regular
establishment. This will be only an act of
Justice, and will be much appreciated by
the brave men who left their homes and em-
ployments to help the country In its emer-
gency.
SALE OF UNION PACIFIC.
In my last annual message I stated!
"The Union Pacific railway, main line,
was sold under the decree of the United
States court for the district of Nebraska
Nov. 1 and 2 of this year. The amount due
the government consisted of the principal of
the subsidy bonds, $27,236,512, and the ac-
crued Interest thereon, $31,211,711.75, mak-
ing the total indebtedness $58,448,223.75.
The bid at the sale covered the first mort-
gage lien and the entire mortgage claim of
the government, principal and Interest."
This left the Kansas Pacific case uncon-
cluded. By a decree of the court in that
ease an upset price for the property was
fixed at a sum which would yield to the
government only $2,500,000 upon its lien.
The sale at the instance of the govern-
ment was postponed first to Dec. 15, 1897,
and later, upon the application of the
United States, was postponed to Feb. 16,
1898.
Having satisfied myself that the interests
of the government required that an effort
should be made to obtain a larger sum, 1 di-
rected the secretary of the treasury, under
the act passed March 3, 1887, to pay out of
the treasury to the persons entitled to re-
ceive the same the amounts due upon all
prior mortgages upon the eastern and mid-
dle divisions of said railroads out of any
money in the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated. Whereupon the attorney-general
prepared a petition, to be presented to the
court, offering to redeem said prior liens
in such manner as the court might direct,
and praying that thereupon the United
States might be held to be subrogated to all
the rights of said prior-Hen holders, and
that a receiver might be appointed to take
possession of the mortgaged premises and
maintain and operate the same until the
court or the congress otherwise directed.
Thereupon the reorganization committee
agreed that If said petition was withdrawn
and the sale allowed to proceed Feb. 16, It
would bid a sum at the sale which would
realize to the government the entire prin-
cipal of its debt, $6,303,000. Believing that
no better price could be obtained, and ap
predating the difficulties under which the
government would labor if it should be-
come the purchaser of the road at the sale,
in the absence of any authority by congress
to take charge of and operate the road, I
directed that upon the guaranty of a mini-
mum bid which should give the government
the principal of its debt the sale should
proceed. By this transaction the govern-
ment secured an advance of $3,803,000 over
and above the sums which the court had
fixed as the upset price and which the re-
organization committee had declared was
the maximum which It would pay tor the
property.
It is a gratifying fact that the result of
these proceedings against the Union Pacific
system and the Kansas Pacific line is that
the government has received on account of
Its subsidy claim the sum of $64,751,223.75,
an increase of $18,997,163.75 over the sum
which the reorganization committee orig-
inally agreed to bid for the joint property,
tne government receiving Its whole claim,
principal and Interest, on the Union Pacific,
and the principal of its debt on the Kansas
Pacific railroad.
Steps had been taken to foreclose the
government's lien upon the Central Pacific
Railroad company, out before action was
commenced the congress passed an act, ap-
proved July 7, 1898, creating a commission,
consisting of the secretary Of the treasury,
the attorney-general and the secretary of
the interior and their successors in office,
with full power to settle the Indebtedness
to the government growing out of the Issue
of bonds in aid of construction of the Cen-
tral Pacific and Western Pacific bond-aided
railroads, subject to the approval of the
president. No report has yet been made to
me by the commission thus created. What-
ever action Is had looking to a settlement
of the indebtedness in accordance with the
act referred to will be duly submitted to
the congress.
I deem it my duty to call to the atten-
tion of the congress the condition of the
present buildings occupied by the depart-
ment of justice. The business of that de-
partment has increased very greatly since it
was established iu its present quarters. The
building now occupied by it is neither large
enough nor of suitable arrangement for tn*>
proper accommodation of the business of
the department. The supervising architect
has pronounced it unsafe and unsuited for
the use to which it is put. The attorney-
general, In his report, states that the
library of the department is on the fourth
floor and that all the space allotted to it la
so crowded with books as dangerously to
overload the structure. The first floor la
occupied by the Court of Claims. The
building is of an old and dilapidated ap-
pearance, unsuited to the dignity which
should attach to this important department.
338
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC FOR 1899.
A proper regard for the safety, comfort
and convenience of the officers and em-
ployes would justify the expenditure of a
liberal sum of money in the erection of a
new building of commodious proportions
and handsome appearance upon tne very
advantageous site already secured for that
purpose, Including the ground occupied by
the present structure and adjoining vacant
property, comprising In all a frontage of 201
feet in Pennsylvania avenue and a depth
of 136 feet.
In this connection I may likewise refer to
the inadequate accommodations provided
for the Supreme court in the capitol, and
suggest the wisdom of making provision
for the erection of a separate building for
the court and its offices and library upon
available ground near the capitol.
ADVANCE OF THE POSTAL SERVICE.
The postal service of the country ad-
vances with extraordinary growth. Within
twenty years both the revenues and the ex-
penditures of the postoffice department have
multiplied three-fold. In the last ten years
they have nearly doubled. Our postal busi-
ness grows much more rapidly than our
population. It now involves an expenditure
of $100,000,000 a year, numbers 73,000 post-
offices and enrolls 200,000 employes. This
remarkable extension of a service which is
an accurate index of the public conditions
presents gratifying evidence of the ad-
vancement of education, of the increase of
communication and business activity and of
the improvement of mail facilities leading
to their constantly augmenting use.
The war with Spain laid new and excep-
tional labors on the postofflce department.
The mustering of the military and naval
forces of the United States required special
mail arrangements for every camp and
every campaign. The communication be-
tween home and camp was naturally eager
and expectant. In some of the larger
places of rendezvous as many as 50,000 let-
ters a day required handling. This neces-
sity was met by the prompt detail and dis-
patch of experienced men from the estab-
lished force and by directing all the in-
strumentalities of the railway mall and
postoffice service so far as necessary to this
new need. Congress passed an act empow-
ering the postmaster-general to establish
offices or branches at every military camp
or station, and under this authority the
postal machinery was speedily put into ef-
fective operation.
Under the same authority, when our
forces moved upon Cuba, Puerto Rico and
the Philippines, they were attended and
followed 6y the postal service. Though the
act of congress authorized the appointment
of postmasters where necessary, it was
early determined that the public interests
would be best subserved not by new desig-
nations, but by the detail of experienced
men familiar with every branch of the
service, and this policy was steadily fol-
lowed. When the territory which was the
theater of conflict came Into our possession
it became necessary to re-establisn mail fa-
cilities for the resident population, as well
as to provide them for our forces of occu-
pation, and the former requirement was
met through the extension and application
of the latter obligation. I gave the requi-
site authority, and the same general prin-
ciple was applied to this as to other
branches of civil administration under mili-
tary occupation. The details are more par-
ticularly given In the report of the post-
master-general, and while the work is only
iust begun it Is pleasing to be able to say
that the service in the territory which has
•come under our control Is already material-
ly improved.
NAVAL PLANS INDORSED.
The following recommendations of the sec-
retary of the navy relative to the Increase
of the navy have my earnest approval:
1. Three sea-going, sheathed and coppered
battleships of about 13,500 tons trial dis-
placement, carrying the heaviest armor and
most powerful ordnance for vessels of their
class, and to have the highest practicable
speed and great radius of action. Esti-
mated cost, exclusive of armor and arma-
ment, $4,000,000 each.
2. Three sheathed and coppered armored
cruisers of about 6,000 tons trial displace-
ment, carrying the heaviest .armor and most
powerful ordnance for vessels of their
class, and to have the highest practicable
speed and great radius of action. Esti-
mated cost, exclusive of armor and arma-
ment, $4,000,000 each.
3. Three sheathed and coppered protected
cruisers of about 6,000 tons trial displace-
ment; to have the highest practicable speed
and great radius of action and to carry the
most powerful ordnance suitable for vessels
of their class. Estimated cost, exclusive of
armor and armament, $2,150,000 each.
4. Six sheathed and coppered cruisers of
about 2.500 tons trial displacement; to have
the highest speed compatible with good
cruising qualities, great radius of action
and to carry the most powerful ordnance
suited to vessels of their class. Estimated
cost, exclusive of armament, $1,141,800 each.
I join with the secretary of the navy in
recommending that the grades of admiral
and vice-admiral be temporarily revived, to
be filled by officers who nave especially dis-
tinguished themselves in the war with
Spain.
THE TWELFTH CENSUS.
I earnestly urge upon congress the im-
portance of early legislation providing for
the taking of the twelfth census. This is
necessary in view of the large amount of
work which must be performed in the prcp-
aratlpn of the schedules preparatory to the
enumeration of the population.
NAMES ON THE PENSION ROLLS.
There were on the pension rolls June 30,
1898, 993,714 names, an increase of nearly
18,000 over the number on the rolls the
same day of the preceding year. The
amount appropriated oy the act of Dec. 22,
1896, for the payment of pensions for the
fiscal year 1898 was $140.000.000. Eight mil-
lion seventy thousand eight hundred and
seventy-two dollars and forty-six cents was
appropriated by the act of March 31. 1S98.
to cover deficiencies in army pensions and
repayments in the sum of $12,020.33, mak-
ing a total of $148.082.892.79 available for
the payment of pensions during the fiscal
year 1898. The amount disbursed from that
sum was $144.651,879. 80. leaving a balance
of $3,431.012.99 unexpended June 30, 1898,
which was covered into the treasury.
There were 389 names added to the rolls
during the year by special acts passed at
the second session of the LVth congress,
making a total of 6,486 pensioners by con-
gressional enactments since 1861.
The total receipts of the patent office dur-
ing the last year were $1,253,948,440. The ex-
penditures were $1,081,633.79 leaving a sur-
plus of $172,314.65.
SALE OF GOVERNMENT LANDS.
The public lands disposed of by the gov-
ernment during the year reached $8,453,-
MESSAGES OP THE PRESIDENT.
339
896.92 acres, an increase of 614,780.26 acres
over the previous year. The total receipts
from public lands during the fiscal year
amounted to $2,277,995.18, an increase of
$190,063.90 over the preceding year. The
lands embraced in the eleven forest reser-
vations which were suspended by the act of
June 4, 1897, again became subject to the
operations of the proclamations of Feb. 22,
1S97, creating them, which added an esti-
mated amount of 19,951,360 acres to the
area embraced in the reserves previously
created. In addition thereto two new re-
serves were created during the year — the
Pine Mountain and Zaca Lake reserve in
California, embracing 1,644,594 acres, and
the Prescott reserve, in Arizona, embracing
10,240 acres; while the Pecos River reserve
in New Mexico has been changed and en-
larged to include 120,000 additional acres.
At the close of the year thirty forest res-
ervations, not including those of the Afog-
nak forest and the fish-culture reserve in
Alaska, had been created by executive
proclamations, under section 24 of the act
of March 3, 1891, embracing an estimated
area of 40,719,474 acres.
The department of the Interior has in-
augurated a forest system, made possible
by the act of July, 1898, for a graded force
of officers in control of the reserves. This
system has only been in full operation since
August, but good results have already been
secured in many sections. The reports re-
ceived indicate that the system of patrol
has not only prevented destructive fires
from gaining headway, but has diminished
the number of fires.
FEW INDIAN TROUBLES.
The special attention of the congress is
called to that part of the report of the sec-
retary of the interior in relation to the five
civilized tribes. It is noteworthy that the
general condition of the Indians shows
marked progress. But one outbreak of a
serious character occurred during the year,
and that among the Chippewa Indians of
Minnesota, which happily has been sup-
pressed.
While it has not yet been practicable to
enforce all the provisions of the act of June
28, 1898, "for the protection of the people of
the Indian Territory and for other pur-
poses," it is having a salutary effect upon
the nations 'composing the five tribes. The
Dawes commission reports that the most
gratifying results and greater advance
toward the attainment of the objects of the
government have been secured in the last
year than in any previous year. I cannot
too strongly indorse the recommendation of
the commission and of the secretary of the
interior for the necessity of providing for
the education of the 30,000 white children
resident in the Indian Territory.
AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT.
The department of agriculture has been
active in the lust year. Explorers have been
sent to many of the countries of the eastern
and western hemispheres for seeds and
plants that may be useful to the United
States, and with the further view of opening
up markets for our surplus products. The
forestry division of the department is giv-
ing special attention to the treeless regions
of our country and is introducing species
specially adapted to semi-arid regions,
rorest fires, which seriously Interfere with
production, especially in Irrigated regions,
are being studied, that the losses from this
cause may be avoided. The department is
inquiring into the use and abuse of water
in many states of the west and collecting
information regarding the laws of the
states, the decisions of the courts and the
customs of the people in this regard, so
that uniformity may be secured. Experi-
ment stations are becoming more effective
every, year. The annual appropriation of
$720,000 by congress is supplemented by
$400,000 from the states. Nation-wide ex-
periments have been conducted to ascer-
tain the suitableness as to soil and climate
and states for growing sugar beets. The
number of sugar factories has been doubled
in the last two years and the ability of the
United States to produce its own sugar
from this source has been clearly demon-
strated.
The weather bureau forecast and observa-
tion stations have been extended around the
Caribbean sea to give early warning of the
approach of hurricanes from the south seas
to our fleets and merchant marine.
WASHINGTON CITY'S CENTENNIAL.
In the year 1900 will occur the centennial
anniversary of the founding of the city of
Washington for the permanent capital of
the government of the United States by
authority of an act of congress approved
July 16. 1790. In Mav, 1800, the archives
and general offices of the federal govern-
ment were removed to this place. On Nov.
17, 1800, the national congress met here for
the first time and assumed exclusive con-
trol of the federal district and city. This
interesting event assumes all the more sig-
nificance when we recall the circumstances
attending the choosing of the site, the nam-
ing of the capital in nonor of the father of
his country and the interest taken by him
in the adoption of plans for its future de-
velopment on a magnificent scale.
These original plans have been wrought
out with a constant progress and a signal
success even beyond anything their framers
could have foreseen. The people of the
country are justly proud of the distinctive
beauty and government of the capital and
of the rare instruments of science and edu-
cation which here find their natural home.
A • movement lately inaugurated by the
citizens to have the anniversary celebrated
with fitting ceremonies, including, perhaps,
the establishment of a handsome permanent
memorial to mark so historical an occasion
and to give it more than local recognition,
has met with general favor on the part of
the public. I recommend to congress the
granting of an appropriation for this pur-
pose and the appointment of a committee
from its respective bodies. It might also be
advisable to authorize the president to ap-
point a committee from the country at
large, which, acting with the congressional
and District of Columbia committees, can
complete the plans for an appropriate na-
tional celebration.
IN LABOR'S INTEREST.
The alien contract labor law is shown by
experience to need some amendment; a
measure providing better protection for sea-
men is proposed; the rightful application
of the eight-hour law for the benefit of
labor and the principle of arbitration are
suggested for consideration, and I commend
these subjects to the careful consideration
of the congress.
The several department reports will be
laid before you. They givo in great detail
the conduct of the affairs of the government
during the last year and discuss many
questions upon which the congress may be
called upon to act.

Majority
•Includes scattering, blank and defective votes.
In calculating pluralities in (his and the following tables the Bryan-Sewall, the Bryan-
Watson and the middle-of-the-road votes are combined for th« Bryan vote. There was fusion
on the electoral ticket of the democrats and populists, and in some states silver republicans, in
the following states: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New
Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota. Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah,
Washington, West Virginia. Wisconsin and Wyoming. In some of the states, like Illinois and
Kansas, there were Bryan- Watson tickets run by the middle-of-the-road populists.
It has been impossible to separate the populist from the democratic vote in the states in
which there was a fusion of those parties. In some of the states, like Illino s, in which the
two parties voted for the same electors, but upon separate tickets, county officers, in making
returns to the secretaries of state, have combined the votes on electors and it is impossible to
say how the vote should be divided. In such cases the vote classed under the head " Bryan-
Watson" is no indication of the strength of the people's party, while at the same time it gives
too large a vote to the democrats. There is no way of giving, even approximately, the vote
of the two parties on presidential electors.

•Four tickets were voted lor state officers— the candidates for governor being JosephiD.
Sayers. Dem.; Barnet Gibbs, Peo.; G. H. Royal. Lab. Soc., and B. P. Bailey, Pro. The vote for
Royal was small, and that for Bailey comparatively nominal. There was a great falling off in
the vote for Gibbs com pared with that for Kearby two years ago.
tThe vote was for McKiuley and IJobart electors, Bryan and Sewall electors, Bryan and
Watson electors, Palmer and Buckner electors and Levering and Johnson electors.
JThree state tickets were voted— headed respectively by Charles A. Culberson. Dem.,
Jerome C. Kearby, Pop.-Rep., and Randolph Clark, Pro., tor governor. Fusion was not gen-
erally regarded liy the populists and republicans, many thousand colored voters supporting

The
Autographic
Register . . .
Is a loss-preventer and
labor-saver. There is
virtually no expense
connected with its use.
because it pays not only
for itself, but a hand-
some profit besides,
with the money which
it saves. The money
which it thus saves is
clear profit, because it
would otherwise be en-
tirely lost.

"One of the Cheapest Good Things
of the present day," says the American
Grocer, New York, "is THE CHICAGO
RECORD COOK BOOK. There is a'menu for every day,
with recipes gathered
from housekeepers in all parts of the United
States. It aims to furnish direc-
tions for good living adapted to the means of
people with moderate incomes.
It furnishes instructions for variety in
diet, paying due reference to differ-
ences in tastes and desires." Mailed postpaid on
receipt of
$1.00 by THE
CHICAGO RECORD, 181 Madison street
Chicago.
