DIsMANrL1NG OF CUBA.

II Spain had made the least sincere at

the long period of war which was prac-
ticaily ended by the Noble intervention of
President Grant in 1875, whose note to
the Spanish government had Its first pub
lication in The Times OF Thursday even

opinion in regard 10 her right to rule In
Cuba.
or all the promises made at the close of
that ten years war, only ole-that slavery
should be abolished-was made good, and
this was OF no Importance, as slavery was
at that time virtually abolished Promises
of restoration Of constitutional rights. Of
| the same provincial Independence enjoyed
by other Spanish colonies. and of fair
representation In the Cortes, have all been
held In contempt.
Cuba has forty members in the Spanish
Cortes, but the laws governing elections
are 90 manipulated that only bare half
dozen of the forty are genuine Cubans.
The remainder are .Spaniards, or Eocalled
Cubans. whose sympathies are wholly
with the Spaniards. Cubans are abso-
lutely without influence In the Cortes, aud
the handful OF Cuban members are laughed
at when they protest against the out
ragcous burdens Imposed upon their be-
loved island.
The people OF Cuba are ground into the
earth with taxation. India under British
rule is a paradise in this respect compared

about 5000, 100000. Even in time OF
peace this dininutive nation must support
an army and navy at an annual cost of
from $4,000, 900 to S12,OOO,OOO. 1t is
asserted by high and unprej JUDGED authority
that the annual taxation for general and
local purposes amounts to 20 per cent OF
the entire Income OF the people. Aside
from this Spanish officials rob the peO-
pie right and left in their various exactions,
speedily becoming rich, though their sal
aries are paltry; and upon all this the Span
ish government looks sereDely and refuses
any reform, even when the fires of revu-
luton light up every part of the island.

no historic basis.
Wellington, at Waterloo, did not say,

put into his mouth by an imaginative writer.
Alexander the Great did not weep for
other worlds to conqaer. There is reason
to suspect that bis army met with a
serious reverse in India, a fact that induced
him to retrace his steps.
Philip III, of Spain. was not roasted to
death by q roaring fire because etiquette
forbade any one t., come TO his assistance.
He died a natural dea tn, and the same story
Is told of @ dozen different moDarchs.
The pass of Thermopylae was defended,
not by 800, but at least 1000 Greeks, or.
according tn sume writers, 10000. The
800 were the Spartan contingent, who
showed NO mnre bravery on that occasion
than their companlons-in-ams In other
Greek states.
There is no historic authority for the
statement that little George washingtoi
cut down the cherry tree.
Charlemagne's paladins had no existenc

so clouded by myth as to be utterly unre-

The Times Has the Largest Daily

1t is gratifying to announce that for
the first time in twenty years the Star
has been compelled to withdraw its claim
OF having a larger circulation than all the
other Washington dajlies combined. This
II did last Saturday. The 'Star" does not
acknowledge, however, that its circula-
tion is less than The Times. although a
strict adherence to the truth would neces-
state that admission. The aggregate
circulation of the Star last week was
only lT3, 3,136, while The Times had n bona
fide circulation of 212 1856, or SO, 249 more
copies than the star" as Will be seen
by the following sworn statement. The

took a note book and gold pencil out of
his pocket, and wrote down carefully

the dusty windowsill with pleasant
sense of taking a new lease of life.
Dr. John Ashurst was driving away
with one Of his daughters, and explain

he had left his wrap in the train.
"Poor, cross old man." he said. II

too well used to her fathers doing such

in its place on the study sofa and loved
her father all the more, because this
stranger seemed to love him less.
