THE l >1 FFERBN< ::
The difference between the Cuban
resolution passed by the house and
that by the senate is considerable or
little, according 'to the standpoint ta-
ken. Assuming that we are to go to
war witJh Spain under either one, and
that too, immediately, the question
still is how much interference will we
be responsible for in Cuba? The house
resolution provides that 'this country
intervene and the president be empow-
ered to use the navy and the army of
the United States to bring about peace
in the island of Cuba, to the end of
establishing there a stable government.
The senate declares for the freedom of
the Cubans, the recognition of its pres-
ent government, that the government

A TORPEDO BOAT GOES A MILE
UNDER WATER.
New York. April IS.—John E. Hol-
land's submarine topedo boat outdid
all her former feats yesterday after-
noon by making a mile run down un-
der water. All previous submarine
trips of the boat have been made in
quiet water and over distances not
exceeding 400 yards. The Holland left
her dock at Perth Am'boy at 12 o'clock
and was towed down to Rarltan Ray.

THE OKLAHOMA "SOONER."
The State Capital has on several oc-

should be dubbed, in conformity with
the other states to have a sui generhs

the soldiers would not arrive here until

NAVAL STRENGTH
OF THE NATIONS*
The United States now ranks fifth
among the naval Powers of the earth,
and is a tie with Germany. England
is first, France second, Russia third,
and Italy fourth. The Germany navy
is better supplied with torpedo-boats
than that of the United States, but we
are a little ahead on battle-ships and
cruisers. Taking one consideration
with another, however, there is very
little difference. When the Kentucky,
Kearsage, Illinois and the other vessels
now building are afloat we shall sur-
pass Germany; but the Germans, how-
ever have a magnificent scheme for the
development of their navy, and the re-
cent episodes in China were planned
