WA Iimes cOntinnes;
TIE EERINS-

The charge made by their foes that the
soldiers of Cespedes are primarily responsible
for the horrors of the war in Cuba has already
been met We have, however, additional and
interesting confirmation of the defense which
the friends of Cuba have brought forward
proof cumulative that Gen. Cespedes had not
ISSUED his decree of reprisals until after re-
peated protests. This decree, the provisions
of which have not yet been fully summoned
in testimony, prescribes-frst that volunteers
taken in arms shall be shot at once; second
Spanish soldiers of the line may hope for
mercy third, the enemy's goods shall be
confsCated fourth, Spaniards who surrender
voluntarily shall be well treated fifth, all
neutrals, excepting foreigners, will be judged
and punished according to their oilenSes
This is the substance o! the decree by which
the Spaniards seek to Justify Count Nalma-
seda's order for butchery, and which admins
ters the extreme pain of war only to those
who in almost every city of Cuba, and
wherever they have appelred in the field, have
been the assassins of PATRIOTS. The humane
and intelligent sentiment of the United States
cannot be expected to admire or do aught but
sbudder at war destitute of pity on one side,
and accepted in agony ahd hate on the other.
But it is important for US to understand that
for wrongs done to bleeding and burning
hearts, for the ruin of pDperties and towns,
for the laying waste of whole sections of
country, and for the public assassination of
hundreds, the country whose obstinacy and
rage protracts vain war should be held
responsible at the bar of civilization.
We have before us a letter of Gen. Cespedes
to Gen. Dulce, in which, at date of January
IA, complaining that his communications have
been unnoticed by the Spanish commanders
he charges upon them tn, burning of mills,
the killing Of animals, the outrage of families,
and, in particular, the assassination of Gen.
Arrange when promised saie conduct by the
enemy. The Spaniards had long ago practiced
the murders which now they preach, and we
cannot again heed the standing falsehood that
their foes are cruel, and not they.
The two victories lately achieved by the
Cubans, and the two successful landings ef-
fected by their auxliaries arc to be added TO
New-York tribune., 1869-05-27

THe World has made a boisterOus claim TO
enterprise on the strength of its announcement
some time ago that the steamer Arago had
sailed with load of arms and men in aid Of
the Cubans All the world, except this one,
knows it did nothing of the kind. The World
boasted that it had eclipsed all its cotempora-
ries with its mal-iDformation, and sneered at
journals sane enough to know better. But we
now freely admit its energies as a newspaper.
Probably none ever issued had as much enter
prise in the way of self-deception. Since the
pleasure is as great in being cheated as to
"cheat," our cotemporary may esteem itself
fortunate in being able, once in a while. to vary
its inveracity with blunders.

many times before, then for the sake of
humanity and commOn-sense let us put them
in some wilderness where they may burn and
blow up, and do no harm to q neghbor. 1t is
the crimes, however that awaken our most
serious anxiety, and for which the remedy is
hardest to find. When few bold robbers were
sentenced some months ago to long terms of
Imprisonment, and judges spoke bravely of
their resolution to visit criminals with the
heaviest penalties of the law, what chorus of
10y went up from the suffering public, who
hoped that increasing ruffianism was checked
at last, and the reprOach of the courts was
being wiped away! Meantime Prison AssOcia-
tiOns were reporting that our systems OF
penal discipline increased the very evils
they were instituted to prevent, and prison
ers generally came out OF jail worse
than they went in. Meantime also the
very prisons themselves became theaters of

incentives enough to wrong doing in the fierce
excitement wherein we have lived for the last
eight years. If we add to these powers of evil
bad influences in our prisons, our courts, and
our whole machinery of justice, the criminals
will soon become too strong for us; we shall
be reduced to anarchy. Our first duty is to re-

to look for the votes Of their State Senators

denunciation, the most damning arraignment
that could be drawn against the squad of
treacherous Republicans who betrayed their
constituents and threw the Legislature into
the hands of the Democrats. Note how your
Representatives and Senators voted on the
swindles and judge whether or not they are
