The Execution of Aycstnran.

The calendar Of Cuban martyrs is enriched
with another noble name, and Spain has
added new crime to the foul record of her
dominion in America.
LUIS AyEsTARAN, ono Of the four mem
oers of the Cuban House of Representatives
from tho Western District, was captured on
Wednesday last OF the coast of that island,
and was gnrrotcd on Friday at Havana, to
make q holiday for the ferocious volunteers.

Cuban revolution broke out was studying
law at llavaua. Humanity was a distn.
gushing trait in AYEsrARAN's character.
When Gen. QUEsApA requested permission
Of tic Cuban LEGISLATURE to retalate upon
the Spaninrls by the execution of sixty.eight
prisoners then in his hands, LUIS AYEsTA
RAN and RAFAEL MORALES were the only
Representatives who opposed such action.

A Polite Reply to Citizen Roosevelt.

We copy in another column very original
and racy article upon THE Sun. 1t is taken
from that sparkling and spcy Journal, the
Citizen and RouRd Table, We dare say it
will be read with interest by our million of
readers, not because it comprises everything
that can be said upon the subjec,-for THE
sun is characterized by almost infinite vari-
ETY., and has Us many aspects rs there are
eyes TO behold it-but because, as far az il
goes, it is in the main philosophical and
true
But VIII lc we regard this eflusion of Citi-
zen ROOSEVELT with the admiration which
all men fc | for his Productions there is one
point on which we are compelled to take
ssue with our distinguished contemporary
lie says that our editorials are careless,
often badly worded, rarely elegant, and occa
sionally ungrammatical." This touches us in
sens tive point. II there is anything we arc
proud Of, it is our style. We have always Cat
tered ourselves that W. kncw how 20 put the
right word in the right place; and as for
grammar, there is nobody, not even Clifton
ROOSEVELT, to whom we will confess our
selves inferior, unless il be the Hon. HORACE
GREELEY Mr.. GREELEY is great in gram
mnr, and we acknowledge that ho can proba
bly, beat us parsing This being the case,
Citizen ROOSEVELT can fancy tho feelings
with which we regard his accusation. When
has he ever caught ~ using bad grammar
Let HIM mention an instance. And where
docs hc find the evidence that our
style is negligent and rarely elegant

didate for Congress in tho Fourth District.
lie says that we are careless Of cxternals
This means, we suppose, that we don't dress
as well as he does ROOSEVELT is dandy /;
and we have ever admired the beautiful fit
of his clothes and tho airy grace of his
figure. But If our tailor and dancing master
are less fashionable than his, that is no reason
why they should be abusel.
One reason why THE Sun has o.e hun
bred and twenty-five thousand daily sub
| scribcrs, as Citizen ROOSEVELT says, and is
30 universally sought after, is that it has
every day great deal more news than any
Of its contemporaries, and that the news is
| published in such u shape in its columns that
every reader can pcruse and understand it
with convenience. Another reason is that it
always endeavors TO tell the truth, and being
free from all artisan relationships and com
| plications, it is able to speak freely and
honestly respecting public men of every party,
Another reason is not that its editorial
articles are written cNrelessly, or that bad
grammar and obscure expressions are tolcr,
atcd in its columns, but that it knows how
to utter its opinion plainly and without am.
biGuity, The people know that 1t has all
the news that it speaks the truth that II
isn't afraid of anybody; that it aims solely
N promote the public welfare and that il
says what it means in style that cannot DC
misunderstood. These are the reasons why
it emphatically Shines for All, Citizen EoosE
