The American filibusters are
making frequent landings in East
ern Cuba il the sensational press
reports are to be taken in evidence.
The reliability Of these reports,
however, is as much in question as
those sweeping rebel victories in
which a death roll Of Spanish
soldiers numbering thousands in a
single combat are heralded to the
world. That revolution Is great on
paper, and on paper only.

paper stated a month ago that
Japan would only pretend will

that key to the situation, but that
she would hold on to 1t in fact and
fight to retain it If forced to do so

THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1895

The reports that come from the
frost smiten states Of the north and
northeast and northwest, as well as
from some sections Of the great
middle belt, are very discouraging
to agricultural enterprise in those
sections. When man cannot
watch his corn and garden truck
grow green in the middle Of May
without fear and trembling lest the
thermometer drop below the freez-
ing point and cut off all his prom
ises of a crop, it is about time for
him to seek a more cOngenial
cline. This he can find in south
west Texas, lands cheap and water
for irrigation. The only need is
some general concert OF action for
the utilization OF the water supply,
in irrigation, and the future OF this
section is as certain to be prosper.
Gus as that the sun shines and the
winds blow and the frosts do not
blight the promises Of the summer
growths.

religious bitterness into all pOliti-

enough Of that in hers Orange and
