Loss Of tho Spanish Cruiser.

There is no longer any doubt OF tho
loss OF the Spanish armored cruiser
Reina Regente. Ii any OF the crew OF
400 men have been eaved there is
nothing to show it. The probability is
that every soul on board was lost.
Experts say that the ship was known
to be overweigh.ed. Yet she was per-
lnitted to remain in commission in that
condition, responsibility which lies
directly on the government. The casu.
atty recalls the sinking OF the Victoria
by her sister ship Camperdown. an
event which startled the world and re.
hcctod badly on the British navy.
II naval vessels Of modern type arc
sent so easily to tho bottom it becomes
worth while to consider whether men
should DO sent to sou in them, otherwise
whether such vessels should DO built.
If either the Victoria or tho Reina
Regen,e had gone down in a naval on.
gasement tho result to the losing coun.
try nigh. have been disastrous and de.
cisiye.

Americans who believe in fair play,
to say nothing OF popular government,
sympathize strongly with tho idea Of
Cuban independence Of Spain. Cuba
has been badly treated by the mother
country and there is no probability Of
any reform in this respect.
Cuba lies near enough to the United
States and las intercourse enough with
this country to know that In tho matter
OF government there Is something bot
ter in the world than Spain has dealt
out to her, and she aspires to that bot
tor order OF things.
Spain desires to hold on to Cuba that
aho may continue to bleed that fertile
island, Tho destiny Of Cuba is to be
freed from Spanish rule and to become
part OF the United statos OF America.
