have been fits OF economy that have resulted
in smaller budgets, and the proposal to
spend $40, 900, 900 on the navy was aban-
doned in 1890 from motives of economy.
But when the budget was kept down the
debt grew. The budget has varied in the
last fifteen years from S120,00O,OO0 to
S17O, zoo, 900, and the debt, since the enor-
nous scaling down Of 1881, has increased
more than $4,000 100000 The budget for
1S04-95 showed an estimated excess OF
about 81, 100000 in receipts over expendi-
lures, but estimates in Spanish finances
prove nothing.
The hope of the Cuban patriots, aside from
possible complications between Spain and
the United States during long-maintained
instruction, lies In the difficulty that the
bankrupt home Government nusS meet IN
raising funds. Spain's imports and exports
fell off about 40 per cent. between 1890 and
1898, and although there was an improve
ment in 1894 the amounts were still con-
siderably below those of the year 1890. 1t
is supposed that another failure to pay
interest on her bonds, after the difficult
settlement of fourteen years ago, would
involve her in trouble with France and
Great Britain, whose people hold most Of
the foreign debt, and that the Spanish
people would not patiently bear great addi-
tional taxation.
The Spanish debt Of one sort or another is
greater by moro than 500, 200, 900 than it
was before the outbreak Of 1858, and that
in spite of the scaling down that attended
the last adjustment. Meanwhile, it is
pointed out that MARTINEZ DE CAMPos, the
only man feared by troublesome elements at
home, has been ordered to Cuba, and is not
diYisible

JapnneSe War Songs,

Our dispatches the other day said the
japanese struck up one of their stirring
war songs, as they began to cut down the
very much surprised Chinese soldiers whom
they caught in II trap Mt New Chwang. Ac-
cordng TO all reports, the japanese were
very poorly supplied with war songs when
hostilities began, and some OF their indus
trious poets have been working hard to sup
ply the deficiency. Here is specimen
which seems to have been made to order and
in good deal of hurry:
"Strike! Lick tho stuflng out OF tho Chinese sol.
diers. They towards. They work for q country
that repelled the honorable friendship OF empire
Their armies are big. You cannot count their num-
bers. But they nothing but mobs OF undlsciplned
cattle. Their weapons look pretty, but they are as
useless as pretty women In battle. Wo have sunk
their ships We show faces and their troops
skedadd With such old tubs In their feet and such
whito-livered towards IN their armies. how the
Chinese resist though they number millions
Strike! We Will eviscerate China II We keep on"
We have filtered this stirring language
from the japanese through the French, and
it may have lost some of its fine flavor in
the process. A clarion blast of confident
defiance pervades it, AS a rallying war cry
1t is hardly equal to the Marseillaise," but
it seems to answer the purpose.

NEGRO ORIGINALITT.
It Is Originality OF Impcrsonation Rather
Thnn of Invention.


To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Your
correspondent w. II. F., in assuming to settle,
Off hand. in half u dozen lines. by a simple prop
osition. the question whether the negro's
musical ability is natural and original or only
initiative, reaches his conclusion by u curious
transposition of conditions, by arguing back
ward. He argues that the originality of the
negro's music and musical ability is clearly
proved by the fact that it has been widely
initiated by white comedians. "If the negro's
musical ability is only initiative. why do all
races impersonate him Z" he asks. or course
the fact is that tho negro minstrelsy of the
theatrical stage is a creation and not an imper-
sonation. 1t is the creation of the white come
dian. and when tho negro sings the minstrel
songs If he ever does. 1t is he who Is imperson-
ating; he is initiating the white comedian. As
has been shown in TIE Sun. and as was frankly
acknoW!edEed by negro student and singer
from Hampton Institute. the famous colOred
college. speaking on this subject in the Berkeley
Lyceum in this City two weeks ago, all the
jubilee choruses. plantation dances. and the
like. are the product of the white man. Indeed
semi.religious jubilee songs as atravesty on their
religion If not an insult to their race.
The negro minstrel of the variety stage is as
of comic opera and it would be as correct.
though not as fiatterng. to estimate the char
sons - imita ton" of him as to argue the negro's
musical genius from the songs OF stephen Foster
and III of eW eT .ss propo.ou
starting with wrong conclusion. And his
mistake is perhaps as natural as it certainly

We do not see any objection to the ship
ping Of horse meat from this country to Ger
many. where it is very largely consumed. AS
Consul TrNGLE says in his report to the State
Department, there is n steady and heavy de-
mand in Germany for meat of that kind, and 1t
can be supplied by this country at q price far
below that at which it is sold in Germany. We
can furnish better article. too. than that which
Is In the German markets. whore tho meat Of
worn-out animals is offered for sale. The su-
peror American article would surely take tho
place Of the withered native German stock.
Horses are cheaper here than they ever were
at any other time since the post-ploccne period,
when they roamed about unbridled. and when.
according to DR.. WORKMAN. the paleontologist
of the American Museum OF Natural History,
they had five toes. just as DARWIN thought they
must have had. The horse has often been spo-
ken of as mans best friend among quadrupeds.
or as his most useful friend; but we have large
ly dispensed with his services in recent years,
and, since his meat is regarded Us available for
consumption in foreign countries, there can be
no reason why we should not supply it at profit.
That meat says ono Of the highest authorities
upon tho subject, is q savory. nutritious. and
wholesome article Of food. We cannot confirm
this opinion from experience. but we shall let
1t stand for what it is worth abroad.

Interesting Reports ms TO Mr.. Justice
HRrlnn's Opinion on tho Income Tax.

From the New York Tribune 0f yesterday.
WASHINGTON April Cit is learned on what seems
to be high authority, that the President Secretary
Gresham, and Secretary Carlisle greatly dis
qucted what they hear about the division OF tho
cour, on the question. II is reported that the court
now stands FIVE against to three for tho tax.
Justice Harlan, who was long IN doubt. has gone

White II was the +" flop" OF Justice Harlan who had

British Claims on American States.

The recent news from Honolulu an
nounced that the British war vessel Nymphe
had been there, and that British subjects
had made claims against the Hawaiian
Government for illegal arrest and imprison-
ment. There was II rumor current that the
Nymphe would soon be followed by the
far more powerful Royal Arthur, the flag
ship of the Pacific station.
But there are indications that the Royal
Arthur may be reserved just now for look
ing after another set of British claims,
those against Nicaragua. She has moved
up from Cnllao to Panama and her next
advance will probably be to Corinto, which
Is northwest OF Lake Managua, and OF
course at considerable distance from the
line of the Nicaragua Canal.
The collection of debts due to British sub
jects from American republics by means Of
war ships, and the enforcement of claims
for damages by the same influences, are be-
coming serious matters in these days. In
the case Of Nicaragua, any project of land
ing forces either at Corinto on the Pacific
side or at Greytown on the Caribbean side,
to enforce the British ultimatum in regard
to Consul HATCH could not fail to give con-
cern not only to that country but to the
United States, and this, too, in spite of the
repeated announcements that Great Britain
will not seek to acquire any territory in
Nicaragua.

If arbitration, as n method Of settling
international disputes. possesses tho virtues
ascribed to It. why could it not be applied to
tho quarrel between France and the Hova Gov
ernment in Madagascar No doubt tho exist
ence Of French protectorate there makes tho
case peculiar, yet tho very essence of the con-
troversy seems to be to how far that protec-
torate extends. so that it might perhaps be SUBJ
mitted to an impartial judge.
Just now we have q special interest in tho fat Q
OF Madagascar from the sentence of an Amer-
can citizen, Mr.. WALLER, by French court
martial there to imprisonment for twenty years
on the charge, apparently. OF aiding the lIova
Government against the French. The details OF
his trial and conviction are not yet at hand, hut
an Antananarivo newspaper declares that for n
long time Mr.. WALLER has been prosecuted by
tho French. because his representations had in
fluenced the Washington authorities to with
draw their instructions to the recently arrived
American Consul to obtain his official recogni-
tion by the Malasasy Government through the
medium of the French Resident General" !"
However that may be. his concession of lands
from the Hova Government. against the protest
Of the French, was enough to excite their en-
nifty, and it remains to find out whether these
causes of antipathy to him influenced his con-
demnat!on hy the military court.
Meanwhile, will suggestion be made by any
country as to tho arbi ration of Madagascar's
dispute with France? Or will the island pass
under foreign yoke?

York and Brooklyn the recognized chief cities

The people Of number of the parishes of

collection of taxes shall be suspended until the
times improve, and that the State Government
shall borrow such money rs may be needed for

several of the enthusiastic meetings hold to pro-
mote this way or doing business. Wo must say
that tho arguments presented by the speakers
at the meeting held at tho State capital were
worthy OF the enthusiasm which they aroused.
II would probably be difficult for the State of
Louisiana TO borrow much money IL the people
were relieved from taxation until the arrival OF
satisfactory times; and, besides, tho State would
have TO pay interest upon any loan that might
be effected, which interest could be procured
only by taxation, unless indeed the interest as
well as the principal could be borrowed. The
taI-ridden people would thus get into = worse
