Universal activity in the navy yards and an Interview that occurred yester day between Secretary Herbert and Admiral Bunce are cited as evidence that Uncle Sam is preparing for a fight and that hostilities are expected when the president announces in his forth coming message to congress that he has recognized the belligerency of the Cuban rebels. These same newspapers have made similar announcements at intervals of about two Teks ever since the Cuban revolution Degan. aitnougn ineir correspondents in Washington know perfectly well that the president has never at any time had any such intention, and that it is absolutely impossible for him to recognize officially an American citizen as the head of a revolution against a friendly government.

The desolate character of the country continued and our provisions ran low. Fortunately a settlement was discovered and we obtained food. "The weather moderated this morning arid we reached port this afternoon aU rlifI am afraid the men left at Gargantua will suffer from hunger If we are not enabled to reach them in a short time.

There are twelve men there and the provisions will last them but two days longer." THE GERMAN COMMENT. BELIEVES TlAT ENGLAND HAS PERMITTED HERSELF TO BE BULLIED. London, Nov. 14.

Washington, D.

Nov. 13. Senator Mitchell of Wisconsin does not see that the gold Democrats and silver Democrats can ever pull together again. "It looks to me," he said, in discussing this question, "as though a majority of those Democrats who bolted the Chicago platform have gone from the Democratic party permanently. I can see nothing in the Democratic party, as it is now organized, to bring them back again to the party fold.

It may be that in time, when new issues arise and the doctrine of 16 to 1 becomes a mere memory in the thoughts of men, that their Democratic instincts will lead them back into the fold. As to that, however, the future must determine." As to whether the Democrats of the senate will support the Dingley; bill or any bill that will tend to Increase the revenues of the government and protect the treasury against an annual deficit, Mr. Mitchell expressed the opinion that the Republicans need expect no help from Democratic members of the senate in that direction. Being asked as to whether the bolting silver Republicans as well as those who did not bolt the St. Louis platform will lay aside their views on the financial question for the time being and aid.

the party in passing a bill providing sufficient revenue to carry on the government, he answered "I believe they will. To the question as to whether Democratic senators in favor of the gold standard who voted for Bryan would, should the matter be ior legislation, vote with the free coinage? of silver senators on the 16 to 1 proposition, my answer is that I do not believe they would. Speaking for myself alone, I should oppose any and all legislation in that direction. I do not subscribe to the 16 to 1 doctrine and never have done so. I believe that free coinage at 16 to 1 without the consent of any other nation is as dead as Phar aoh." WOE FOLLOWS WINNINGS.
