American Citizens Must No Longer Be 111 Treated—~Spain May Resent the Interference of Uncle Sam. New York, June 11.——Spain has lost control of the island of Cuba. Spain has failed and is powerless to protect the lives and property of Amer— ican citizens. Spain has failed to comply with its treaty obligations. These are said to be fie vital points of President McKinley’ s forthcoming ulti- matum to Spain, according to the New York Journal, natural question, “Wfll the president’s ultimatum mean war with Spain?” All are agreed that it does mean a grave crisis, with a declaration of war as a distinct possibility. It further means that the position of the United States will be made known to Spain and with that country will be. left the responsibility of graver proceed— ings. Time to Call a Halt. Consular reports that have told of a terrible state of affairs in Cuba whereby American citizens and the property Of American citizens have been unsparing- ly robbed of treaty rights by Spanish officials and the distinct tone of the: report of the commissioners who inquir- ed into the Ruiz outrage have impressed President McKinley with the necessity of bringing Spain to a realization of the position in which her violations Of her friendly agreement with this country have placed, her. The president has determined, The Journal says, that American property shall suffer no longer, and that out— rages On Americans like that which brought about the death Of Dr. Ruiz must not be repeated. To this end he will address to Spain a communication, friendly in tone and intent, but firm and unwavering in its demands. Terms of the Note. This communication to Spain is being prepared under the direction Of Judge Day, the assistant secretary of state. While it will go directly from the state department, it will bear the information to Spain that it has been written at the direction of the president himself. The mediation of the United States to bring about peace on the basis Of Cuban in- dependence on the payment Of an in- demnity will be offered. The note’s first representation will be that Spain has lost control of the island Of Cuba, and evidence Of the existence and main- tenance Of a successful revolution will be given showing the sections and areas held by Spain and the revolutionists in a comparative shape. Then it will be asserted: That Spain has failed and is power— less to protect the lives and property of American citizens. The strongest of the representations, the one most likely to bring about dire- ful complications, is this—that Spain has failed to comply with her treaty Ob- ligations. In one long list will be given the cases in which American citizens have been illegally ar1ested and illegally punished by the‘.’ panish Officials. These will be the stated reasons for the Offer of mediation by the United States. The note will argue the reasons for the pres- entation Of the note. In plain but diplomatic language it will be proved that Spain is powerless to grush the revolution; that it cannot pacify its rebellious colony. Effect of Recognition. It will then be intimated that the ef- fect that might follow the recognition of the Cubans by the United States would be that the island would at once take its place among inde- pendent nations, and Spain would be regarded as an intruder fighting for the dominion Of a people recognized as free. In this connection the bearing of the Monroe doctrine upon such a state of circumstances will be clearly outlined. The indemnity to be paid by Cuba, to be determined by arbitration if nec- essary, will be large enough to reim- burse Spain in a large measure for the value of Spanish property in Cuba and offset the portion of interest 011 Cuban bonds now paid out of the revenue coming from the island \Vill Spain Accept? The Spanish minister, Dupuy de Lome, has been given an intimation oi the contents of the president’s ultima- tum. He has given a diplomatic reply to this intimation. He has declared that Spain will accept the note in a friendly spirit. That answer, however, carries with it no indication that Spain will ac- cept the offer Of mediation. It is with the knowledge of this non- , committal attitude of the Spanish rep- ‘ resentative that the belief is held in diplomatic circles that the sending of the ultimatum may result in grave complications between the two coun- tries, certainly in a forced recognition of the belligerency of the Cubans, no matter what Spain's answer may be, and possibly in a war which the United States must begin in order to insure the safety of her subjects in Cuba and that of her property.

London, June 11.—The Pall Mall Ga- ' zette publishes a long editorial on the business and political outlook in Amer- ica and criticises President McKinley, who, it says, instead of playing the part of president, has been satisfied with the role of a party man.

Open Season for Taking the Fish Ends on June I5. Exceedingiy few interests have es- caped the attention of the Connecticut general assembly, and certainly trout fishing, rearing or hatching have not been among the few. All sorts of schemes were sprung upon both branches early in the season under various pretences. Some were in the interest Of one class and some another. Many‘of the pet measures fell by the wayside; others were successful in run- ning the gauntlet of the committee rooms and became laws. The one, however, that the average business man who takes his rod for a day’s sport among the streams away Off in the hills defines the “close” season. The act is as follows: SECTION 1——Every person who shall catch any brook t1 out. 01 b1 own trout except with a hook and line, or shall sell, expose fOI sale, puIOhase, catch or have In his possession any such t1 out, except from the 1st day Of April to the 15th day Of June, shall be fined not more than $50 and costs or impi isoned not more than thirty (1:11 s, or both; provided, how me, that any person may take such ’01 out in wateIS owned and enclosed by him for the pin pose of stocking othei 11 aters, or take and sell any trout reaied by him in such en- closed 11ate1s. Memories of Famous Friends. Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, who is original in all things, discovered a unique way Of celebrating his seventy- fifth birthday. That was to write his recollections of some Of the eminent men who were his closest friends, among them Lowell, Longfellow, Emer- son, Dr. Holmes and Wendell Phillips. The Youth’s Companion has had the good fortune to secure these intimate and charming papers, and the first in the series appears in its issue Of June 10. Edward Everett, Dr. Hale’s uncle, is the subject, and a very lifelike pic- ture is given of this famous Massachu- setts man, the hero Of countless inter- esting incidents, who entered many fields Of eifort—ranging all the way from preacher to diplomat—and won success in all. In the same issue of the Companion President McKinley’s Cabinet Officers are described, with portraits. The editorial page of the Companion pre- sents many subjects of current interest, and every other department of the pa- per reminds One, indirectly, that the Companion is giving its subscribers a gieat deal fo1 their money. <v: Mustang Kicked Him. ChesteI Coley of Chestnut Hill, has an ugly wound on the back of his head.
