It is understood that the discus- sion of the Cuban situation will be com prehensive.

While a sincere hope is en tertained . that the Sagasta ministry : taay end the war at an early date, the possIblJJty of its failure cannot De over- looked. In that event, it is desirable i for - the ) policy of this country to be known. ! A - strons intimation 'is given . that in the failure of an end to the pres ent conditions in Cuba at an early date, no hesitation will (be shown in the Unlt - ed States making known Its position of v ultimate Intervention. Humanity and : commerce i may " be i both made the t grounds for- this action. - ' ;xne belief is that the Cuban problem will .be solved without danger of war i and will be solved through the good of r flees of this country but the expecta- tlon is that these, godd offices will be : exerted within a reasonable -time after y ii i f . lit r i . rt i a i liii iri i i.i 1 1 i -.in . autonomy are Renown beyond questipn. If XJuba la, actually pacified and indus j -try and trade are 'resumed ; that cohdi- tlon is expected to speak for itself . .The - "refusal of a few insurgent leaders to lay down their arms and the continuance of a sort of bandit' warfare would not be interpreted by the 'administration as i the, failure of autonomy. On the other ".hand, - the continuance of the present t conditions would' hardly be accepted as evidence, that the island Is pacified. ? Some misunderstanding is said to- ex 2 1st-in Spanish official circles regarding v the: position of the adminlstraton after j, the decree of autonomy is gazetted. The administration would not under any ciT- .cumsiances unaertaxe '". to guarantee autonomy. That would be making it self responsible for the colonial jrovern ment of Cuba to the Spanish authorl- c "lies.X;But the .president's good offices are exerted toward, giving the policy, of v expected,; to make , this - point clear be u yond the possibility ' of misunderstand- ;?JngvSfts;p:;Sj ; ldent's "discussion of the Cuban situation .

Notwithstaad- ing the tremendous pressure now being urged against the civil service law ? and the regulations thereof, it Is not be lieved that the president can - afford ; to take a ."backward step- in the matter of .civil service reform. - 'The feeling against the' civil service law Is stronger among republican members than would seem possible, considering the pledges of the .republican, party .i platform - at - St. Louis only a little more than a year ago. The opposition,' however, of these members amounts to little if ; Speaker Reed does not agree - with them. .- This he will hardly do, for, while he has no particular love' for the lawfhe is too di plomatic at this time to allow its repeal. It is pretty safe to predict, however, even at this eaTlyt period, that, the party Which captures the country in 1900, be It whatever party it may, will wipe out the civil service law;; and it would; not be surprising !! before that time con gress should refuse to appropriate mon ey to defray the expenses of -the civil service commission This would badly cripple the law as it would be hardly anything but a dead letter. -' - Among those whoy it is said, strongly favor this course is Senator Hanna of Ohio.;v Gen. Grosverior is in favor of wiping out the whole thing, and he doubtless voices the true, but perhaps hidden, Sentiment of nearly all the re publican leaders. ' TRANBORIPT OF ORDT5RS.

New-York Nov. 24. The full-rigged ship Port Patrick, of the Port line, Glas gow, Scotland, ;X?apt; Frank Hand, was almost wholly destroyed by fire at her dock in the east-river today.

In a few seconds .the big ship was envel oped in a thick, cloud of smoke, 'which poured ' out from the hatchway. The fire boats New -Yorker and Haveraeyer soon had a dozen streams playing on the burning vessel, but with little effect. The firemen forced their way on board through the smoke, ripped up the hatch. es and poured such streams of water into the holes and It seemed as if the Vessel would sink from sheer ' weight of water.: .

They do not believe in churches, and claim -' to live, perfectly free from sin ' Rev. Austin Hi'cks, one of them, who lived in this city for many years, made a decidedly ' sensational address, de cotmcing Hopkinsville as worse than Sodom, because the churches here were not offered them to preach in, and be cause the people would not open their homes to entertain them. ,y Mr. Hicks was ' very bitter in his denunciations, and.' prophesied fearful things for this city.
