"&SLY 4 COOK

Some authorities of the State Depart

bIta deal of famuseme ut in the latest particu-
lars in regard TO the latest outrage upon
Americans in Turkey. The information
is contained in 4 note from the very elegant
Navroyeni Bey, the Turkish minister to
this government, who declares with lofty
recognition of the trivial nature of the
matter, that his government has thoroughly
Investigated the reported outrage, and
has found that it consisted merely in an as
sault upon the man who cooked for the
family Of Prof. Christie, Of st. Paurs
Institute, at Tarsus.
The elegant Mavroyeni and the elegant
officials of the State Department seem to
think the affair is not worth noticing be-
cause the man was "only a cook" They
apparently seem to forget that the man was

ofau American enga ged in teaching what to
Turk is a vile and hated religion. The
State Department is told by the Turkish
minister that the person assaulted was
merely a cook, Ind so the State Department.

that the great postoffices of the Union
show a II per cent increase of business
for last month over the month of July.

This is most significant showing. and
possibly more certain indication of the
general improvement of business than any
other that could be made, as it bespeaks an
increasing growth of trade In every part
of the country.
The statement has been made that the
great telegraph companies are able to ex-
hibit similar increase of patronage Of a
commercial character, which, like the in

SHALL IT BE FREE cUBA7

While the Spanish authorities in Cuba ex-
ercise so rigid a supervision OF the news
sent by wire in regard to- war operations it
is impossible to discover the real conditions
of the rema arkab BILE conflict that is now in
progress.
The most reliable information goes to
show that the rebels are more than holding
their own: that Gen. Campos, chief Of the
Spanish forces, is discouraged; that the
adherents OF Spain are dissa .isfied with
his conduct OF the war, and that there is
really substantial prospect that the upris-
ing VIII result in freeing Cuba. to an import
ant extent, from the domination of Spain,
If not in the erection OF an Independent re-
public.
Gen. Campos has worked at great dis
advantage. He has been compelled to scat
ter his meager forces. The ranks
OF his unacclimated soldiers have
been decima ted by fever. The
Spanish government talks pompously Of
reinforcements, but the moment Spain is
drained Of troops, the strong and active
Republican faction in that country threatens
TO give the government all il can do to at
tend TO its home affairs.
The people OF the United States are unan-
imous in their sympathy with the attempt
to free Cuba from the Spanish yoke. The
latest information is that provisional gov
ernment OF the revolutionists will be organ
lied at once at Natasa by a conference of
delegates from all the countries in open
rebellion. II the rebels maintain their posi-
tioD, and further exhibit that progressiv
genius for organization which they appear
to possess, 1t Is almost certain that public
sentiment in America will compel recog-
milton very soon, at least OF the beliig-
erent rights OF the Cubans.

PETTY VENGEANCE.

1t is not agreeable to say one word de-
preciative of SO genial, earnest and honest
. gentleman and official as Postmaster
General Wilson. but The Times is impelled
TO say that the removal OF Postmaster Lyon,
Of Selma, Cal, for his criticism of Presi-
dent Cleveland, was hardly necessary for
the good of the public service.
Mr.. Lyon publishes newspaper at Selma
suggestively called the ''Irrigator." It
does not boast of national circula ton, DOR
even make affidavit that it sellsmore copies
than any other paper in California. Its
Fame is truly local. Its editor, however,
