Martinez de campos' Pyrrhan Victories.

Captain-Genera, Campos has reported to
the government at Madrid that he has gained
several victories over the insurgents. With
a few more like them the Cuban patriots
will have won their cause. These VIC
tories have been so effective that the in
surS.nt army is almost within striking
distance of Havana, AMI The Captain-Gen-
eral has FASTENED to the capital in order
to confer with his subordinates there, and
put the city in a still more perfect state OF
defense, though il is not at all probable
that Maxine GoincZs generalship contem-

with artillery, could not hope to make

therefore, that Gomez aims at the occupa-

We're the conditions that caused a catastro-

by the mourning and grief that has fallen

The contradictory opinions of Congress
and the administration as to the cause OF
our financial troubles will necessitate an
other bond issue. Congress claims and is
acting on the assumption that deficit in
our revenues has weakened our credit and
caused a number of bond issues, and the adj
ministration is positive that no relief can be
had until greenbacks are abolished and our
currency system is remodeled and strength
ened In the conflict OF opinion the admin
istration is best prepared to insist on its
policy. Congress can do nothing without
the sanction OF the President, and no finan'

unless it provides for the withdrawal OF
greenbacks.

Is England Playing for Time?

IL is gratifying 10 know that the British
government will transmit TO the vcne-
zuelan commission copies OF such docu-
ments as may be in lis possession bearing
on The boundary dispute and also furnish
full facilities for making inquiries in Brit
ish Guiana, although Epgland's position
as stated In the Salisbury correspondence
does not warrant such a concession The
proffer, however, demonstrates the appar-
emily friendly spirit of the BRUSH govern
ment. aud makes plain that 1t feels sure
that the investigation will lead to CON-
firmation of its claim tn the disputed ter
riiory.
But there is nothing in the proposition to
justly the belief that the British govern
ment will abide by the report of the COM
mission, should it be favorable to Venez-
uela. In fact. Lord Salisbury distinctly
stated that England had nothing to arbi-
tratc, and that her claim was founded on
just and equitable grounds. In view OF this
position, from which the British govern
ment cannot well recedc and maintain its
dig nifty, it might be well to look upon the
courteous proffer to the Venezuelan COM
mission as a diplomatic attempt to gain
time. Perhaps this assumption should not
be entertained, but when dealing with such

There VS. never a time in the history
Of Washington when greater demand ex-
listed for charity among the poor. The
various benevolent organizations have com
pletely exhausted their funds, and still
the cry of distress comes from many
quarters. A pathetic truth is revealed this
Christmas In the letters which the children
of the poor write to the Santa Claus clubs
and the Christ Child Society. These socie-
ties, as their names imply, furnish toys
and good things-play Santa Claus, so to
speak.
Usually the little ones ask for playthings.
This year a great ma jority stated that they
needed food and clothes. The reflection
is q very sad one, and one which should
appeal to every washingtonian. So much
is uselessly expended just at this season.

New Years. Enough of food is absolutely
