FKESIDKNT'S MESSAGE.
A. (iENPKAL REVIEW OF THE
ERNMEX L -S CONDITION.
GOV
Wants to Let Cuba and Spiin Settle
Their own Troubles Without
Iutai ferenct'.
Bv the courtesy of the Western Ln
ion Telegraph company the following
synopsis of President Cleveland's
message sjnt to congress this morning
was delivered over the wires today to
the press.
As representatives of the people in
the legislative branch of their govern
ment you have asseinbltd at a time
when the strength and excellence of
our free constitution and the fitness of
our citi.eos to CDjoy popular rule have
been ara:n made manifest,
A Djlitical contest involving momen
tous conseo'icces fraught with fever-
h aporehension ar.u creating aggres-
iveness so intense as to approach bit-
tcrnts', has Deen wageu tnrougnout
our laud and determined by the decree
of free aud indepenoent suffrage with
out distui banco of our tranquility or
the least sign of weakness in our na
tional structure.
When we consider these incidents
and con ten-, plate the peaceful obedience
and manly submission which have sue
ceeded a heated clash of political opin
ions, we discover abundant evidence of
a determination on the part of our
countrymen to abide by every verdict
of the popular will and to be controlled
at all times bv an abiding- faith in the
agencies established for the direction
of the affairs of their government.
Thus our people exhibit a patriotic
disposition which entitles them to de
mand of those who undertake to make
and execute their laws such faithful
and unselfish service in their behalf as
i an oniy be prompted by a serious ap
preciation of the trust and confidence
which the acceptance of public duty
invites.
With this analysis of the recent
election, President Cleveland begins
his annual message to congress. The
document contains more than -0.000
words. It contains besides a wealth of
department information and statistics,
a succinct review of the Cuban revo
lution without committing the United
States government to an avowal ot
hostility, either against the sovereign
ty of Spain or Cuban insurgents.
President Cleveland begins that por
tion of his message devoted to foreign
affairs by referri ng congress to the re
port of the Secretary ior ail ueuus in
onnection with minor matters, ne
then declares that the disturbed con
dition in Asiatic-Turkey has assumed
a less hideous and blood y aspect dur
ing the past year, owing to the deci
sive action on the part oi me great
nations and the consequent awakening
of the Turkish government to the de
mand of humane civilization. So far
as the United States government is
concerned it has left undone nothing
for the protection of American m:s-
ionaries and citizeus la the Ottoman
empire. Continuing, me presiueui-
-aj . ,
1 do not helieve tne present somot-e
prospers in Turkey will be long per
mitted to offeud the sight of Christ-
ndom. It so mars the humane and
enlightened civilization that belongs
to the close of the nineteenth century,
that it teems haidly posiblo that the
earnest demand of good people through
out the christian world for its uorruc-
t ive treatment will remain unanswer
ed."
President Cleveland, in dealing with
the Cuban situation, unalterably op
poses the recognition of the insurgents
' . ... tt 1.. 1; . .1
as belligerents, tie utnuita me san
ation to be too delicate for any inter
vention on the part of the I nited
States at the present time, although
his message strongly hints that the ul
timate outcome may require an ag
gressive stacd on the part of this gov
ernment. With greatest delicacy he
devotes a large portion of his message
to a review oi the situation ana puiuis
as a solution of the problem, the offer
tD Cuba on the part of bpaiu of genu
ine, autonomy. The insurrection he
declares still continues with all its per
plexities. No d-iiis on has been reacn-
ed in the trial at ai ms.
If Spain has not reestablished cer
authority neither have the insurgents
made good their t itle to be recognized
as an independent state. Pretext
that civil government exists on the
island except so far as lapain has oeen
able to maintain it, has been practically
abandoned.
'But that exception b'.nng made, the
entire country is either given over to
anarchy or is subject to a military oc
cupation of one or other party. It is
reported on reliable authority tnat at
the demand ol commauucr-iu-coie-i ui
the insurgent army, the putative Cub
an government has now given up all
attempts to exercise its functions, leav
ing that government contesseaiy (nut
there is the best reason for supposing
it always to have been in fact) a gov
ernment merely on paper."
lJ.-uaiilf.nt. fMeveland is disposed to
ou-nowh-do-e the superiority of the
Spanish arms and of the Cuban tactics.
Be savs. however, unless a speedy con
tf in t.hH oncn is had, the policy of
the Spaaish government not to inter
fere with the destruction of property
will ruin the fertility, productiveness
and cr.nscouent commercial value of
the island.
The message points out the many
fmt.vnirlf.il interests of the United
Stitcs in Cuba. Almost fifty million
of American capital is invested there
nnd the trade before the revolution
reached one hundred million annually.
Our concern in Cuba is neither i-entl-iTn.nt,nl
mi:' w hoilv philanthropic but
we are in niauy was loth vexatuinsly
mid tn much cost involved in th- pre
ent contest. He points out the difficul
ties which we are subjected to by
reason of the many Cuban residents
who are natural. zed Americans and
who whiln aiding the insurrection
through public meetings, the press
war funds and other means n quire tne
constant vionanc" ' "i- a i i nun i ie:s
Washington. Besides the natural
sympathy of the people of t his contary
with those who struggle for a better
and a freer government, combin
with the ad venturers and restless ele
ments in Kurooe. makes the position of
the United States in its declared neu
trality difficult to maintain. These in
evitable entanglements and cons dera
tion of philanthropy and humanity in
general have led to a vehement de
mand in varum- quarters fi r some sort
of po.Mt.ve intervention on the part of
the Uni 'il St-te
f The president declares against ac-
think Spain desires to sell and deprec
iates war with Spain as a settlement
of the question on the ground that
might is no sufficient reason for this
country to violate its universal repu
tation as the most pacific of powers
and the desire of its people to live in
amity with all the world. The United
States, he says, has plenty of territory
and should continue to manifest its
patient endurance, which is no slight
testimonial of the reeard for Spain on
the part of the American people.
While remembering- the part Spain
has played in the history of the west
ern hemisphere neither the people or
the government of the United States
have shut their eyes to the cours-i of
Spain in this contest. After summing
ud the complications of international
law bearing on the case, the president
says: '"It would seem that if Spain
should offer to Cuba genuine autonomy,
a measure of home rule, vhich, while
preserving the sovereignty of Spain
would satisfy all rational requirements ,
of her Cuban subjects there should be
no reason why the pacification oi the
island might not bd affected on that
basis. It would put the prosperity of
the island and the fortunes of its in
habitants within their own control
without severing the national and an
cient ties which bind them to the
mother country. It has been intimat
ed to Spain and that country does not
seem unwilling to adopt the suggestion
that the United Slates act as mediator
in bringing about this result. .At the
same time Spain aemanuB mat tne in
surgents lay down their arms before a
compromise will be considered and the
Cubans insist on something more defi
nite than a promise of autonomy before
they will consent to do so." In any
event the president says, theLnittd
States should make no attempt to ac-j
quire the island ana snouici prevent
any other power from acquiring it. If
however, the ability of Spain to dem
onstrate its sovereignty becomes mani
fest, the United States should not Hes
itate to recognize and discharge its
duties without in any way mean while
stimulating a disregard to duty or ill
timed expression of feeling.
Brieily touching on tne enezueian
boundary ciuestion and the Behring
ea complications, the president then
devotes himself to internal affairs. His
message takes up in detail the var
ious debts of the national government.
In the treasury department the re
ceipts for 190 were 4oy,4.-,405; ex
penditures, $434,67S.)54.4S; decrease

banks in operation with d,OJ,o?o,-

bilities $1,590,S91,038.03 was due
lepositors and $210,000,000 was ln
n outstanding circulating notes.
New banks wero organized and 3.
surrendered their charters, while for
others receivers were appointed.
State banks to the number of 5,708 are
in existence during the year, ?j40,4i5
immigrants arrived bringing to this
country more than $500,000.
In reviewing the war department.
the president does not recommend an
increased army, as he says the organiz
ed militia numbers 112,8.9 men and
costs 83,200,000 annually which should
suffice. He believes both the regular
army and militia should have more
money for equipments. Kegarding the
naw. the president commends trie
expenditure of money for coast defenses,
declares his belief in the ability of the
government to build its own vessels
and equipments: is opposed to paying
any further speed premiums and re
commends a plan for laying up ships in
reserve so as to reduce tno cost oi
maintaining our vessels afloat. Eight
new cruisers and 2 gunboats have been
commissioned and the chief executive
ays American ships are equal to any
that tloat.
The president thinks federal offend
ers should be confined in the govern
ment prisons. The postoflice depart
ment, he savs, is in good condition
with a deficit "of $8,000,000 owing to a
reduction of postal duties and the
increrse without proportionate revenue
in the lowclas mail matter.
The total Indian population is 1..,-
235. The president believes the In
dians show improvement under gov
ernment management and recommends
they be looked after by a commission
one of whom shall be an army officer.
President Cleveland hits the pension
grabbers a hard blow. He shows that
last year the number of pensioners
materially increased until the list the
largest ever reported, numoenng ;'.o,-

President Cleveland demands settle
ment of the Pacific railway loans and
grants aud especially the foreclosure of
the Lmon Pacific mortgage.
lie shows in the agricultural de
partment that the value ot larm pro
ducts exported in 1Mi amounted to
$570,000,000. He is opposed to further
gratuitous ilistribution of seed. Ihe
inter state commerce and civil service
laws are highly commended.
While admitting a deficit of little
more than 825,000,000 the president
defends the Wilson tariff bill as having
opened up foreigu markets and sim
ulated trade with other countries, l ne
present bill, he says will yield sufficient
revenue if given a fair trial but the
deficit was to be expected in the face of .
the business depression of the past t wo !
years. In this connection he defends i
drafts made on the reserve fund as
the i.
he. savs it is l rumeasuratu v better to
appropriate our surplus to the p.iyment
of justifiable expenses than to all -ivv it
to become an invitation to class ap
propriation aud extravagant expendi
tures. The president alludes to our financial
methods as weak and vicious and
asks prompt reform of the sjsteiu
which is oppose", to every rule of sound
finance and sho-n hy experience to ne
frauht with a previous peril and pe -
plexity. Ho refers to the late con t . s
as being greater menace to property
than the late war. 11-: dec. at es

for long term low interest bonds or
their i edemption with the proceeds of
such bonds. If this is not done, he
thinks such currency ohli nations when
redeemed should be cancelled instead !
of being rcis.-ued. National banks should
redeem their own notes. They should
he. allowed to issue circulation to the
nar value of their deposits security and
their circulation. Taxes should be
reduced to one-fort h of one per C3ut.
Summing up the financial situation,
the president says:
"The e-tire case may b3 presented
by the statement that the day of
sensible and sound financial method
will not dawn on us until our govern
ment abandons the banking
business and the accumulation cf funds
and confines its monetary operations
to the receipt of the
money contributed by the people for
its sup jort aud the expenditure of
such money for the people's bene fit.
All good citizens lonar for rest from
feverish agitation and the inauguration
bv the government of a reformed
financial policy which will encourage
enterprise and make certain the rewards
of labor and industry."
After denouncing the tendency of
the times towards the creation of tru-sts
and monopolists, the tendency of which
the president said is to crush out
industrial independence and to hinder
or prevent the use of human faculties
a-d the fail development of human
character, he appeals to congress to
exercise ricid economy, saying. ''The
way of perplexing extravagance is
easy but the way to frugality is perplex
ing." President. Cleveland concludes as
follows: "When our differences are
forgotten and our contest of political
opinions are no longer remembered,
nothing in the retrospect of
our public service will be as fortunate
and comforting as the recollection of
official duty well performed and a me
mory of a constant devotion to the
interest of our corliding fellow coun
trymen." Ghover Cleveland.

Five Men Killed in the Worst Freight
Wreck the S. Jf. Ever Had.
There was a terrib'e head-eud colli
sion early Sunday morning of two
freight trains, two miles east of Sand
Pork siding on the Southern Pacific, or
seventy one miles east of San Antonio:
a collision that is regarded as the
worst smash-up the road ever had in
the wav of a freight wreck. Five
trainmen were kli'ed viz., Knjineers
Cody and Brown both men with
families, and who ran east out of the
city two years ago; both firemen, whose
names at present writing areunRnown.
but reside at Sau Antonio and strangers
at this end of the line: while the fifth
man killed was a brakeman, also from
San Antonio, and who was evidently
riding on the engine.
The co lision was between an extra
freight going east, aud the third sec
tion of freight number 24 coming west.
The extra evidently got mixed lip Oil
the number of sections in the regular,
or the engineer thought be could make
the next siding bejoud Sandy Fork, for
he pulled out Ivoui the Fork in time to
meet the third section rushing west and
evidently on a curve. From the size
of the wreck both trains must have
been going at full speed, for the demor
alization of both engines and some
twenty cars was complete, the engines
being redu -ed to setup iron, and the
carslo splinters, while through freight
was scattered all over the right of way.
Wrecking outfits we: c sent out from
San Antonio and Houston just as soon
as one of the surviving train bauds
could run back two miles to Sandy Fork
uml wire, and surgeons and medical
appliances were takeu out from San
Antonio in a coach attached to the
wrecking train. The bodies wero re
ported buried under the debris, but
were pulled out as soon as the wreckers
couUl remove the wreckage resting on
the poor fellows. Life was found ex
tinct. 1 r.e other tra'n men wero uiiuij-

, A TELEGRAPH REPORT.
pecial to the Herald
San Antonio, Texas, Dec. 7. A
most disastrous wreck occurred on the
Southern Pacific at Sandy Fork, about
0 miles east of here. Sunday morning,
and live men were, killed.
It was a bead end collision of two
freight trains and is believed to be due
entirely to carelessness.
The dead are: Engineer Tom Cody,
Engineer W. H Crown, Fireman Will
Holt, Fireman George Askins. Brake
man Dove Woodson Heard. They all
live in this city.
The wreck was caused by the care
lessness of : he crew of the east bound
train, No. 25, which had orders to stop
on a blind siding at Sandy Fork until
three sections of No. 21 passed.
The c-ew was asleep when two sec
tions of 2-1 passed and believing the
third had passed, backed out of the
siding to the main line when the third
24 came along and collision took
place.
It was a foggy morning. About 200
yards of track were torn up. The
bodies arrived yesterday evening.
A Jliuce Pie Social.
There was a little mmce pie social
Saturday night at the Pierson. The
participants of the same were O. T.
Basset, Police Surgeon Childs, of
Hartford, Cona. , Dr. KautTmann, of
Chicago, and a representative of the
Herald. The mince pi-s inspiration
was furnished by a talented artisle in
the cookery line, a lady friend of the
great and good daily, and was kindly
served up "piping hof'bv the hotel p"o
ple.for the gastronomic edificationof the
aforesaid quartet, and without "extra
charge for corkage "
T' e pie went down very smoothly
without a hitch, and the police surgeon
who used to guard first base on the
Yale university uine, took his share as
easily and gracefully as he was wont of
old to reach up four feet into the air to
catch a hot fly from the bat "amid the
plaudits of the crowd." Dr. KautTmann
has been constitutionally opposed to
mince meat as an incubator of the
festive nightsteed, and the cause of
the midnight appearance of a line and
interesting ancestors angry at being
thus called up to gratify the imagina
tion born of mince pie. But the next
day, he declared con gusto, that he
had sleep the previous night as
sweetly as an infant upon its mother's
breast; while O. T. Bassett said he
never had struck the like t-f that pie
since the time he sat in a high chair at
his grandmother's table back in the
states, and tossed clX the mince pie at
the old lady's Thanksgiving table.
It is often a mystery how a cold has
been"eaught." The fact is,bowe ver,that
when the blood is poor and the system
depressed, one becomes peculiarly lia
ble to diseases. When the appetite
or the strength fails. Ayer's Sarsapar-
Ula should be taken without delay.
Shedd will have some more of those
guaranteed "Overland" wheels in soon,
and say, he is almost giving them
away, if you want to save money, see.
