Amid the Widespread political excitement
and amid the tortures of truth and the scan
dal-mongers' vicious work we have almost
forgotten that but a few miles from our
Southern shore there lies, surrounded by
great sea, the battle-torn island of Cuba.
Women, children and brave patriots are being
slaughtered hourly as priceless sacrifice for
the great boon which they coyet as people.
Yesterday Spain shipped seven thousand more
men, destined for the wretched and reprehen-
sible work Of destruction, who will help to
impose burdens of taxes upon the already
impoverished inhabitants, and carry the sword
and the torch into the interior. But America
is free, and that is enough for her. What does
she care for the patriot people who have
struggled eight years for independence, and
whose voice of suffering has been constantly
sounding in her ears /! She is prosperous,
great and wealthy, and conscious Of this, she
can afford to let the oppressed vince and
writhe under their burdens of enthralment.
But in the dark days of the Revolution, when
France proffered her hand, America with
gratitude gladly seized it.

The Eastern question is in quite as serious
plight under Mohammed Murad Effendi as it
was with the sceptre of Abdul Aziz. England
has full control of the SoGtas who dethroned
the ex-Sultan. They are known as the theo-
logical students of the Moslem faith, and ma
nipulate predominating influence in the af-
fairs of the Ottoman Empire. England gained
a sign al triumph, therefore, in the overthrow
of Aziz, and Russia lost much of the grip
which she apparently had on that most enyi.
able country bordering on the Bosphorus.
Russia is, therefore, chagrined, and now de-
clares that every article of reform included in
the great conference memorandum must be
executed by Turkey. To these arbitrary de-
mands England, being pseudo guardian over
the sick man." positively refuses TO comply.
Here the matter rests, as a sort of deadlock,
in the political Vaccinations Of the Eastern
problem, ard now the question arises VIII
Russia or England either submit to the others
desg gns! Viii Russia compel a recognition
and fulfiiimeDt Of the memorandum articles,
and If she attempts such compulsion will Eng
land resist, even TO the taking up of arms in
defense Of the Ottoman interests! Disraen

Minnesota never had an ADLER and

that the action at the Navy Depart.

Admiral Leroy. It. is announced
among naval men that this squadron
is to execute a series Of maneuvres
