veterans OF the insurgent forces. 1t is not ex-
peOted that there s anything like an armistice at
present and, consequently, one would infer from
the silence or the Havana journals on the subject
that the insurgents are successful. Items like the
following, which Ia culed from the daily press,
are. in this connection, very significant

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIFFERENCEs AND DETERIORATION
OF RACE.
In commenting upon recent letter in the
HERALD from its correspondent at Madrid, the
New York correspondent Of the VOz de Cuba, Of
this city, thinks it strange that the Spaniards in
Cuba should not be the same as In Spain. The
writer cannot have visited the Island of Cuba OF
late years. or he would not be so full of admiration
at the difference he finds in the picturing
correspondents. AS James J. O'Kelly truthfully
remarks, "there appears TO be something in the at
mosphere Of this island that changes the nature OF
these men and is fatal to all noble and generous
thought" The majority OF Spaniards In Cuba are
not the same Spaniards OF Spain. The correspond
ent OF the Voz Is in error in presuming that the
correspondents OF the HERALD In Cuba are biassed
and throw around its situation 80 barrier OF false
hoods and misrepresentation" Even the liberal

LOGICAL R1PLY.
The most logical way to answer this question Of
the Voz'S correspondent is to do like the Yankee
by answering one question with another. .r
How can the Spaniards,. described by the
HERALD's correspondent at Madrid, be the same
that committed so many atrocities in the Neither
lands, during the French invasion, during the
seven years Carlist war. that shot innocent STU
The Voz's correspondent continues inquiring:-
''If they are the same men how is 1t that in Cuba
and in spain their panegyrstsY" That is a question
without an interrogatory. But the Voz's CORE

He says:- ..- yI

This dictum of the Voz's correspondent, who is
also the correspondent OF the Dtdrfo appears very
much like the justification Of my imprisonment by
the military fiscal, because he presumes that the
majority OF foreigners and almost all Americans
are in sympathy with the insurgents. and hostile
