As soon as the l'resident has received the reiort of Commissioner Calhoun it is expected that he will decide definitely upon some line of conduct towards Spain with reference to I'uba, and that when the new minister Madrid i ready to leave for his post he win he made the hearer ot pro-j posals to the Spanish (Government upon the subject of the conflict in Cuba.

1 Although nothing definite is known as to the President's view with re- spei to the (Juban tpiet-tiou, there is i an impression abroad that Le ir. willing to defer to the clamor of the jingoes to the extent of offering the friendly otliccs of the I'nited States as inedi-! ator, accompanied by a warning that this country can no longer remain iu-I different to tlie ruinous conflict prb- grossing almost at its very doors.

The I'nited States must either keep aloof from the Cuban embroRlio altogether or active intervention must be resorted to.

Intervention, of course, means war, which Is, no doubt, the purpose of the jingoes in Washington. lias President Mclvinley the courage to meet the difficulty boldly and either rebuke the jinpoeB by refusing to interfere or go over to their 6ide completely and actively intervene in Cuba?

DOCK The Civil District Court, through Judge High tor, yesterday decided tkat the control and administration of the city's sugar sheds are vestel in the dock commission created by the! Btate Legislature In its last session, that of 1S06. The sugar sheda are sltoated upon four blocks of the city along the riVer front, between Customhouse and St.

Louis streets: They, are ownetj by city, but have been leased out to iri-i vuie ys rues ana vwea tor the -storage of sugar and molassea. The lease-" 'iX -Hf o-f. about to expire, and the city Authorities were debating whether the property should be again leased out or be operated by the city. The dock commission, a State board whose members are appointed by the Governor and are not subject nor responsible to the city government, created to administer the business of the harbor and its landings, laid claim to the (sugar sheds and the ground upon which they stand, and this claim htus been virtually recognised and con- tinned by the court. is laying claim to control all the city property and nublie nlaees in sight of the river, and so far its claims have been upheld by the court.

Just how much of such property this State commission will be able to eeite and hold docs not yet appear, and will not until the courts shall draw a line of demarkatiou. With the city surrounded and hemmed in by a State levee board and a State dock commission it is likely to exjerienee some conditions whhh will greatly affect and influence it future and bring results which were never evnected bv those who iheiii.

The rapidity with which events now proceed after a declaration of war is due, tirstly, to the improved transportation facilities which facilitate the movement of troops; secondly, to tin-more iK-rfect state of preparation for war which is maintained in most countries, and lastly, to the extensive military organizations which exist.

Our lack of preparation does not merely include the small-iieKs of our standing army, because, with our Iarjre population, there would be no scarcity of men; but it consists of the almost total absence of a supply of etfieieut arm and stores of all sorts. Wo could easily recruit a force of a million men, but we could not arm a quarter of that number nor maintain a large force. The I'nited States dot? not need a large standing army, as the militia can easily be made to supply the place Asides, our population is used to han- would prove of little practical value, However, in the lace of the total lack The Government should at once provide the same arms now used in the army for the entire National Guard and set about accumulating, as speedily as possible, a sufficient reserve supply of rifles and arm a quarter of a million men.

With these arms and sufficient stores of other kinds in constant readiness we need feel no apprehensions on the score of mir small standing army. THE 3IEXICAN' BA.D. The comjiliuient paid to the people of New Orleans In the free conc given last night in Lafayette square, in front of the City Hall by the celebrated band of tlie Kighth Mexican Cavalry, under its distinguished lender. Captain Kn-carnacion l'ayen, is highly appreciated. New Orleans made the acquaintance of Captain I'ayen's admirable corps of musicians many years ago, at the time of the World's Cotton Exposition here.

From time to time this excellent musical organization has visited this city and has always been hailed with delight. This Eighth Cavalry Band, composed largely of individual artists, has no superior as a military musical corjis on the continent, and will compare favorably with any in the world. It renders the compositions of the best masters in a manner that is satisfying to the popular taste as wsll as to the rnot cultivated, and its presentation of the passionate and melodious Mexican danzas is delighting in the extreme. The people of New Orleans hold the music of the Mexican Band in most pleasing remembrtnee, and they hope that it will make many more visits to this city in the years to come, besides wishing its distinguished leader and his excellent musicians all the prosperity and fame tiey so well deserve. Many of the young people, and not a few of the older, were stricken with profound grief by the announcement yesterday of the death Robertfon.
