1‘. . \‘_‘-— THE HHMLNG MESSAGE Devoted Mainly to Foreign Re- lations and Currency. ACTION ASKED ON HAWAII Practical Conclusions Reached that Present Conditions Do Not War- rnnt Interference in the Affairs of Cuba. Washington, Dec. 3.—President Mc- Kinley’s message will be devoted prac- tically to foreign relations and the cur« rency problem. It will be unique in that it ignores the great bulk of mat- ters usually constituting the depart- mental portions of— Presidential annua: messages. Thereis scarcely a refer- ,ence to the subject matter of the an- nual reports of the Cabinet members. the President’s purpose being to call attention only to the more important affairs of the Government. For this reason, the postal savings project oi «the Postmaster-General is not dis- cussed. While the details of the currency por- tion are not definitely known, it can be authoritatively stated that it is in the main an incorporation of views sub‘ ‘mitted by Secretary Gage, though as to details the President leaves himseli free by not taking any position with reference to several features of the Sec- retary’s plan while indorsing its main object. Strong presentation of the Hawaiian question is made, and Congress is urged to ratify the annexation treaty immediately. The necessity for mak- Ing the islands part of the United States and the advantages from such action are reviewed. The messags calls attention to the re- cent trend of affairs in Cuba, refers to the autonomy scheme, and, after re- cit‘ing other developments, reaches the virtual conclusion that existing cir- cumstances donot warrant interfer- ence on the part of the United States. “Peace on earth, good will towards men,” is to be the keynote of the mes- sage. This fact the President has made clear to more than one United States Senator who has called on him during the past few days. Said one of these Senators to your correspondent: "The President believes that the business interests of the country de- sire rest and peace, and he will try to make his message so conservative in character that it will inspire confidence throughout the country and advance the tide of prosperity, which he thinks has already begun to sweep over the country. In respect to Cuba he will show that Spain is making an attempt to pc city the island and grant the in surgents home rule, and that therefore. there is no immediate excuse for Con- gress to pass any resolutions or take any action whatever in taV-or of the Cubans. While adopting a conseivative policy in regard to Cuba, his attitude will be firm and dignified, and Spain will be made to undeistand that the Administration will not brook any re- turn of VVeylerism. ' “The President Will also make clear the fact that he desires Congress to be rigidly economical in regard to all ap propriations, both for the departments of the Government and in regard to appropriating money for p11V ate claims and new public buildings. In this policy of retrenchment the President will have the active co-operation of Speaker Thomas B. Reed and the different chairmen of the big committees—Ap- propriations and Riveis and Harbors. ' By keeping down the appropriations the P1 eS1dent believes that the Dingley bill 'will prOVide sufficient revenue to run the Government, and therefore it is unlikely that there will be any further tariff legislation during the coming session. "The President is of the opinion that when the business interests of the country realize that he favors peace and security better times will come and remain.” The message pays considerable atten- tion to the matter of reciprocity nego~ tiations with various countries in Eu- 1-.ope Special Commissioner Kasson - has been working on this subject for some time and the message expresses the hope of theAdministration for sat- isfactory results. The policy of the 3 Administration on this subject is out- lined, and, citing French champagnes as an illustration, the point is made that if special cancessions are given to any foreign products the United States must receive reciprocal conces- sions. . . The Alaskan problem is discussed at length, and a plea is made for Con- gressional legislation, including the ex- tension of the public land laws and the granting of rights of way for roads. GENERAL PANDo SHOT. Report that the Spanish Commander Has Fallen Before Cuban Bullets. Havana, Cuba, via Key West, Fla. Dec. 3.——A report that Gen. Pando, who was placed in charge of military . operations in Cuba by Gen. Blanco, has been killed in an engagement with in- surgents in Santa Clara Province has just reached Havana. This report has caused the most in- tense excitement in the palace and ofii- cial circles, andevery effort is being made to get news from Gen. Pando’s . 7 force and to find out the truth or falsity of the startling news. No details of the killing of the‘Span- lsh commander have been received, be- yond the statement that he was shot in a battle with a force of insurgents while on the march from Sagua La Grande, on the northern coastof Santa I, Clara, to Trinidad, on the southern '1 , coast of the same province, where he 8, was to take a ship and go to Manza- nillc, in the eastern province of Santi- ago de Cuba. Populists Reject Hawaii. members of the Senate have decided to oppose the Hawaiian annexation treaty on the ground that it is not necessary and that it will entail a heavy expendi- ture for the navy and that the populas tion thus brought in will be undesira~ ble. "‘ . Two Men Strangely Killed. Trenton, N. J., Dec. 3.—William Fenstermaker and Michael Banks, both of Philadelphia, were found dead yes- terday near the tracks of the railroad at Dead Man’ s Gulch. Two tramps ~ have ben arlested on the charge 01,, being implicated in the killing. 1' Washington, Dec. 3.—The six Populist EEKLI? Man and Wife. Both Agree as to What Saved the Wife’ 5 Life. When a woman has been aban- doned by doctors to die, when she takes a medicine and gets well, when she and her“ husband both declare that medicine" saved her life, what more can possibly be said of Dr. David Kennedy's 1 favorite Remedy? Mrs.J.M. Church- ill, Cort- “ I had a very bad cough and could not lie on my left side at all. I also had neuralgia very badly. Many physicians in Cortland said I could not be cured, but I am thankful to say I am cured through taking Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. It cured my cough and greatly bene- fited my neuralgia. When I began taking it, I was very weak and it built me right up. I always had sick head- ache and trouble with my stomach, and it gave me. relief from them.” In speaking of his wife’s case, Mr. Churchill said: “Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy saved her life."
