solely because united people have
won their independence and are free
to enter the Union. That is the an
nexation question as the Tribune has
discussed it, and as those who have a
familiar knowledge of the island
understand it. 1t is the force Of eco
nomic gravitation which is drawing
Cuba irresistibly toward the Ameri-
can Union. That force may be ac-
CELEBRATED by Spanish misgovernment,
by overproduction Of German sugar,
and by controversies between Wash
ington and Madrid; it may be counter
acted temporarily by Cuban lethargy
and weakness; but it will continue to
operate so long as the island is con-
fronted with ruin and can discern the
prospect Of salvation through annex

THE CUBAN REBELLION.

Madrid, March 28.-The latest dis
patches from Havana have alarmed
the government, as they indicate that
the insurrection is spreading rapidly
| and is already beyond the control Of
the local commanders. The decision
was made March 27, therefore to send
Martinez de Cambos to Cuba with
strong reenforcements.
Yesterday is is reported that 300
additional troops will embark with
him. He will start probably April 2.
The torpedo gunboats Filipinas and
Martin Alonzo and the cruiser Castillo
| have received orders to proceed with
all possible speed to Cuban waters.
The publication Of this news, which
completely contradicts the former
sanguine dispatches from official
sources, has caused keen excitement
here. 1t is announced that Primo
Rivers has been appointed captain
general of Cuba to succeed Gen. Cal
laies.
Private reports from Havana in
dicate that the number Of insurgents
now in the field is about 1000.
In the senate today Premier Cano-
vas del Castillo said that 5000 pesetas
had been spent already in fighting the
Cuban insurgents, and the govern
ment was prepared to make any
further sacrifice that might be de-
manded. A minister said this after
noon that 1000, 900 pesetas would be
placed at Compos' disposal at once.
Several steamers are fitting out to
embark troops at Barcelona, Cadiz
and Carthagena, for Cuba.
The premier prefaced his statement
to the senate with the remark that he
had come before the chambers under
unusual circumstances. He proposed
to deal only with the financial ques-
tions raised by the expedition to
Cuba. He then read dispatch from
Capt. Gen. Callejas saying that de-
tachment of Spanish troops had been
defeated by insurgents at Campo
chulos. The comm Ander has been
summoned before a court material
the dispatch added.

We do not assume to forecast the
result of the present outbreak in
Cuba. 1t may be speedily suppressed
and the annexation question tempo
rarily deferred. But we apprehend
that sooner or later there will be
victorious revolt against Spain and
an economic system that is running
the island; and that Cuba will then
become American territory neither
by purchase nor by conquest, but

Trouble with France is apprehended
unless more satisfactory reasons are
given than any yet published for the
treatment of ex-Consul Waller by her
representative in Madagascar. Wal
Ter was formerly Missouri slave.
He was confiscated by Federal troops
and sent to Iowa in 1862. He was
then eleven years old. He acquired
an education, studied law, practised
at Topeka, Kan, and was appointed
consul at Tamatave, Madagascar, in
1851. Superseded in this office in
1898, he obtained certain concessions
from the Hova Government-200
square miles of rubber producing land
and various privileges against which
the French Resident protested. His
behavior all along has been such as
to antagonize French interests in that
island, and her authorities there are
glad of the pretext of his correspond
ing with the Hovas, Cor ''conspiring"
with them) to put him out of the way.
He has been sentenced, not by a civil
court but by court martial, to i'm
prisonment for twenty years. AS
this government has never recognized
French authority in Madagascar, an
investigation will of course be made.

this prevents political differences from
becoming too wide for party solution.
When one section cannot any longer
accredlt the other with honest and
patriotic motives, war is only ques-
ton of time. That this general pre-
valence of elementary education is
accompanied by a comparative neg
lect of the secondary and higher

fact that out of the number of pupils
enrolled more than ninety six in
every hundred are pursuing elemen-
tary studies less than three in hun

mand is now equal to what it was at
any time in the last five years 1t is

II do not agree with those of my
colleagues in the senate who court
trouble in Cuba in the hope that we
may have an opportunity to annex
the island" said Senator Proctor last
week. "The character of part of
the population of Cuba is such that 1
should not consider it desirable as a
State Of the Union. I am for COM
mercial annexation, but not for ter
ritorial annexation. We can accom-
plish that result without war or con-
quest, and without purchasing the is
land, simply by reviving the policy of
reciprocity. We made immense strides
in our commerce with that country
under the reciprocity clause of the
Mckinley law and had trade of vast
proportions with the island when the
law was repealed. All this is changed
now, and our Cuban trade is of COM
paratively little consequence"

HAUNTS OF THE WHITE BASS.
In the North Central States where Black
Bass are Scarce.

In the north central states, whers
the black bass is scarce and in some
regions unknown, very worthy SUBJ
stitute for this grand game fish is
found in the white bass. 1t can not,
indeed, be said that the latter species
possesses all of the fine qualities of
the former, but in habits. haphts and
food it much resembles the black va
riety. Its shape is mite different, the
body being more oval and not so thick
through. and the head being shorter.
The mouth is rather smaller than that
of the small-mouthed black bass In
color it is in marked contrast to its
black brother, being of a clear, silvery
white, barred with dark horizontal
lines, six or seven in number, which
run from gilis to tail.
The streams and ponds of the whole
Mississippi valley abound in these
sprightly fish, and the Chicago sports
men mostly frequent the Illinois river,
which offers the best white bass an
CLING OF all the waters IN the state.
The white bass are gregarious, and
swim in the big shoals along the steep
shores of the lakes or in the deeper
stretches of the streams, feeding on
the young fry of the gudgeons and
dsce. Owing TO this fiocking habit,
the veterans all fish with two hook.
