mors In the Times. AS to the cabinet
crisis, 1t says the differences of opinion
are due to Chancellor of the Exchequer
Sir William Vernon Harcourt desiring
to have the local veto bill brought up
for a second reading Immediately. The
rest of the cabinet ministers are in
favor of postponing the second read
ing because several liberals will vote
against the bill and it is consequently
expected the government will be de-
feated in the division. Even the most
sanguine supporters of the measure
only count upon majority of eight.

PROGRESS ~ CUBA.

Tho Cuban revolution Is undoubtedly making
substantial progress Due allowance must OF
course be made in considering news reports
about il. for the wish that Is so often father 10
the thought, and for the human pronencss to cx-
oygerac from which not even the Southern Latin
races are entirely free. On the other hand, al
lowancc must also be made for the rigid censor
ship Of dispatches exercised by the Spanish au-
thorities. and the vast difficulty OF sending out
from the island any news favorable to the In
surgents But after making such allowances 1t
seems unqucstionabe that the rcvolutionists are
steadily gaining ground and numbers, ana mat
the ALWAYS Victorious General CampOs Is scr-
ousy concerned as to the result Of the campaign
Instead of ending the trouble IN day and re-
turning to Madrid in triumph, he is settling
down to q long and elaborate campaign. He Is
sending to Spain for more money and more men;
calling, indeed, for the largest army Spain has
ever had In Cuba. He IS also finding fault with
his suboriinates and dsmissing them as scapc-
goats; which il usually a sign OF weakness. At
the same time the revolutionary leaders who
are reported KILLED by the Spanish newspapers"
pcrsistcntly refuse TO stay dead, and despite the
utmost vigilance Of the Spanish feet. new ex-
petitions are landed, with rcinforcemcnts for
the patriot army.
Such expeditions land, or are dispatched also,
despite the efforts Of the United States Govern
ment TO prevent them. These efforts are emf
nenty proper. no matter how contrary TO Amcri-
can sympathies they may be. OF all nations In
the world this one can least afford In honor and
in justice to sanction violation Of the neutrality
laws. At the same time neither this nor any

quences Of Illegal enterprises Of which the Gov
crnment had no knowledge, or which, for want

of the Western section Of the New-York State

public Libraries in the western part Of the State
was clearly shown. In eight counties there are
ninety seven townships without any public libra.

libraries but flfty-one Of them are simply union
school collections. Miss Hazetine estimates that
there are in the western part Of the State at least
