The plans of the nsurgents to strike a blow near the city have been checked, according to the olli cinl account, but the concentration of their forces is such us to muke it unlikely that the insurgent bands will surrender, us the Spanish authorities have been hoping. The business concerns of the city are much discouraged by tho actual situa lion. They do not now look forward to i speedy end of the revolution. All s that they have abandoned the hope that the insurgents will surrender or accept the conditions of autonomy.

Fight Aglnst Civil Service Law Se rious. Pension Bill a Troublesome Thing. JOL'KNAL BlUiEAU, I Washington, D. C . Dec. 13. f That members of the Diplomatic Corps in Washington do not regard that por tion of President McKiuIcy's message that deals with Cuba as a forerunner of white winged peace, is shown by the fol lowing remarks of a prominent diplomat: 'From the diplomatic point of view, it if a mystery how the American press and public can consider the President's lan guage conservative and peaceful. 1 think, and I am satisfied that every rep- resentative of a foreign government in Washington agrees with me, that bis message was about as radical and war like in meaning as he could have made it, unless it had actually been a proclama tion declaring war against Spain. Ik tells Spaiu that unless it can finish tlu war in Cuba in a reasonable time, tliir government will ilo so by force, No as every well informed person knows, that there isn't the slightest chance that Spain will end the war iu Culm in a reasonable time, that was about the same the U. S. saying to Spain: "You may as well get ready to fight me, as yon will have to do it iu about six months.' " The Democratio Senators are already, with two exceptions solidly opposed to the annexation of Hawaii, and the House Democrats are going to declare against annexation at a caucus to be held this week. Still the advocates of annexation say that it is certain to be accomplished at this session. A lobby p'enlifully sup plied with money, is working bard against annexation, and its agents will stave olf settlement as long as possible, if they cannot defeat it, as their pay- will stop as soon as the question is settled either way. It has become apparent that the fight on the civil service law is no trifling matter, even if it is being conducted against the wishes of the President. Leading Republican Representatives have attacked the law on the floor of the House, when they hail to strain a point to do so, and sixty odd Republican mem bers of the House who oppose the law as it now stands met in caucus to discus-, the best way to conduct their light against it. That was at least fifty more than were supposed to be willing to be counted as publicly hostile to the law and has had an alarming effect npou those who stand by the law, and have generally been disposed to poke fun at all talk of righting it. History does not repeat itself with more certainty than certain phases of a session of Congress- One of these phases is I lie short but acrimonius debate which never fails to precede the passage of the regular Pension Appropriation bill by the House. Somehow everybody knowsthat these little sharp sentences have got to be spoken; consequently they do not ut tract the attention they deserve, coucern ing as they do, the expenditure of niorf than one third of the government's in come. The fact is, as most people in Washington know, that the average Con gressman is mortally afraid of the Pen sion question, and desires to see the bill disposed of as speedily as possible. The present appropriation exceeds 1141,000,0)0, and there is a general be lief that it is eight or ten million below what will be spent by the Pension Bureau during the next fiscal year. Many Republicans, while honestly hoping that Representative Dingley is true prophet when he says there will be a surplus of ten million dollars during the next fiscal year have their doubts about it.
