FAILURES OF CAMPOS. !.
His Puerile Efforts Against the
Cuban Insurgents.
NECESSITY FOR CUBAN AUTONOMY

The London Times Declares That Spain
Cannot Afford to Continue thu War
Against the Revoiutionists, and Points
Out tho Spanish Commanders Mistakes.
LONDON, Aug 23.-The Havana corte-
Bpondept Of The Times, writing Of the
gravity of the situation there urges the mo-
oessity Of large CONCESSIONS in tho direction
of autonomy, or also even loyal Cubens
will drift into disloyalty. "The only al.
formative is costly campaign in men and
money" tho correspondent adds, FOL
lowed by the occupation OF the island by
6O,00 men for decade. l am unable au-
thentically to discover the sources Of the
rebels funds. Very little IL obtained in
Cuba ! am assured from revolutionary
sources that the Cuban colonies at Key
West Fla, subscribe $1,000 to $4,000
weekly to thcrevolutlonary committee in
New York, but doubt whether it Is paid
with regularity"
In an editorial on the foregoing The
Times says:
''The failure Of Campos to suppress the
rebellion has caused bitter disappoint-
ment In Madrid. We sympathise heartily
with Spain's patriotic determination to
hold Cuba at any sacrifice. and we admire
sisting projects for further disintegrstion
and plots conoocted In foreign countries
to folnent rebellion among her subjects.
At the same time, 10 Ia suicidal folly for
any nation obstinately 20 refuse to look
facts In the face. Englishmsn have no
desire to see Cuba separated from Spain.
The movement for annexation to Amer
lon is opposed by most intelligent and In
dependent Americans of all parties, and
for obvious political reasons annexation
to America would be regarded with little
favor by British statesmen.
I'VE should be we'll pleased II Spain
were able to arrive at a practical settle
ment with her rebollious subjects, bnt
that demands quality of statesmanship
far higher than has yet been displayed,
and IL General Campos is to gain q VIC
tory, he must show greater energy and
ingenuity than hitherto. General Campes
only opened bis eyes after the fight at
Bayano on July IL, to tho fact that tho
insurgents were armed, disciplined and
provided with ammunition. Without tho
havoc which yellow fever and dysentery
have played, and will play with the troops
arriving at this season, the constant and
aimless marching and countermarching
Of the last three months would itself have
sufficed to invalid men by wholesale with
out help from epidemic disease.
"A remarkable characteristic in the
spread Of the rebellion Is tho higher strata
Of society now joining the insurgent
ranks.
General Campos has tried 30 treat with
the rebels and has failed; be has tried to
suppress them and has failed; he has tried
to patch up q reconciliation, and has
equally failed. The rebels have been quick
to profit by his mistakes. A three years
campaign will cost Spain csc, ,0O0, 900
sterling, which she cannot afford Giving
autonomy will bs bitter pill, but unless
1t is swallowed the embryo movement
for annexation to America may gather

Running the Roads.

Nothing illustrates the incons;s-
tency of human nature more than the
well-nigh universal Gail for an i'm
provement in our public highways,
especially when it is considered that
this demand comes from the very
class of men who do them the most
injury, and what is worse, an injury
that is simply i%nexcusable and for the
preparation of which they should be
heavily fined.
The injury to which we allude, and
which nearly all farmers, who live on
the public roads, are responsible, is
the practice Of using a part of the
road in making their crops. The evil
has grown to such an extent that on
many of our most important roads it
is impossible to travel in a vehicle
without running into freshly plowed
dirt. When it comes to two vehicles
passing this is only accomplished
by both of them running over corn or
cotton rows. This condition of affairs
is in the highest degree discreditable
TO those who are responsible for it,
and if the law is powerless to stop it
public opinion ought to condemn 1t
in such an unmistakable way as to
make these trespassers ashamed OF
their inexcusable greed and careless
ness.
If the people who live in towns
were allowed to cncroacf' on the pub
lie domain in this reckless fashion
there would soon be no streets, for
they would 500 dwlndlc to mere
lanes and very narrow ones at that.
