"A GRAVE QUESTION.
10 InroIres the Liability of the United
States.

STATES.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 13.-The
steamer George Childs, carrying the fill
clustering expedition from Key West, has
landed at Jamaica. Definite information
to this effect has been received here. 1t
was due in large measure to the sailing
OF this expedition last week that the ad-
ministration determined OH energetic steps
to prevent any violation of the neutrality
laws, and that President Cleveland issued
his proclamation last night.
The information from Jamaica states
only that the steamer has landed, but does
not add details as to whether the filibus-
tiers are still on board or were landed at
some point in Cuba. The fact that the
information from Jamaica gives only the
arrival of the Childs, without mention of
the flibusters, leads to the impression in
some quarters that the suspicious directed
against her may prove unfounded, as there
is only irregular information thus far to
show that the steamer carried the party.
If the steamer, as alleged, has carried
from the United States a supply of NUM-
tons OF war and armed men to aid the
rebels IN Cuba the incident may raise
grave question as to the responsibility of
the Government. On the statement of the
facts to our officials the case bears strong
resemblance to the celebrated Alabama
affair, which cost the British Government
many millions of dollars to settle.
In the Childs case the vessel was under
the United States flag, and practically
the expedition started in this country. 1t
was said that our Government was duly
advised of the intended departure of the
Childs expedition, though whether the
advices were in themselves sufficient to
make a prima facie case justifying the
arrest of the parties or the detention of the
vessel under the terms of our law cannot
be learned.
BY the terms of the treaty of Washing
ton the United States bound Great Britain
and itself to the doctrine that nation is
bound to use "due diligence" to prevent
the departure Of armed expeditions against
friendly nation. This raises the point
whether the United States can be held to
have exercised due diligence in the matter.

HAVANA, CUBA, June 13.-The insur-
gents have burned the village of Neuvitas,
| near San Diego de Cuba, destroying twenty
houses. In addition to this they barbar-
ously murdered five citizens by hacking
them with machetes and wounded two
others.
The president of the Red Cross Associa-
ton has disappeared from San Diego de
Cuba and is supposed to have joined the
insurgents.
A professor Of the Institute of Pinnerco,
Maxine Abunza, while examining stu
dents who presented themselves for grad
uation, sustained an atheist thesis upon
revolutionary principles and which was
unfavorable to the continued rule of
Spain over Cuba, The Government
promptly ordered the suspension of the
professor and also of the doctor of the in
stitute.
Later advices received from Santiago de
Cuba shows that less than seven houses
were burned at Neuvitas, and they include
stores and cottages. A detachment of six
teen soldiers of the civil guard fortified it.

hot fire upon the insurgents, whose leader,
Duran, was killed with many Others
The insurgents also left number of
wounded behind them. The families of
the population of Neuvitas are fiocking to
Santiago de Cuba, where great excitement
prevails.
The insurgents have destroyed part of
the railroad to Holwein, and are under
stood to be marching on Purnia, in the d.
rection of the province of Puerto Principe
Lieutenant-Colonel Rotger, at the head
of small body of troops near Santiago de

1t Is Probable Indemnity May Be De-
n'dnded by the United States.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 13.--The
confirmation of reports that American
missionary property in China has been de-
stroyed makes it probable that the United
States Government will require China to
make suitable indemnity when the facts
are officially established. A precedent for
such recompense was made when the
United States paid China a considerable
amount for mob depreciation on Cinnamon
in the far Northwest.
The reports of losses to mission property
IN China vary. 1t is said that the indem-
nifty asked will cover not only the actual
damage and loss to the American mission
aries, but also sum as recompense for the
indignity suffered.
