ALL OR NOTHING,

Cuban leaders spurn with contempt the
suggestion of accepting autonomy as the
price of ceasing the struggle against
Spanish oppression. They scout the thought
that all the shedding OF patriot blood
should lead to nothing more precious than
to remain a dependency of Spain with
only a degree of self-sovernment. They
began their fight for freedom. for indie
peDdence; they are carrying it on with that
end in view; they will not give it up
until that is attained With them it is all
or nothing.
Yet there is something of encouragement
that even the suggestion of autonomy has
been made in Spanish quarters. 1t shows
that feeling is beginning to assert it,
self in that direction that this is struggle
to the death and that Cubans will continue
to fight until there is nothing more to
fight for and nobody to do the fighting.
1t must be victory or determination. Conn
promise on any basis is out of the ques-
ton.
Besides, Cuba's patriots may well take
courage. In less than a month the Cong ress
of the United States Will assemble. SO
strong will be the pressure of public sentt-
ment upon it that legislation looking to
the granting of bellig gerent rights to
the insurgents will be among the first to
be Initiated, 1t is this that Spain fears
most. She knows that all her fleets and
all her armies win fail to keep Cuba in
subsection when the great republic of the
West bids the insurgents welcome among
the nations.

NEW WOMAN MIST WAIT.

In. the house of its friends woman sur-
frage has received a severe blow. In
Massachusetts the question whether woman
should or should not be allowed the bal
lot, was submitted to the people at the
last election, and women had the privi-
lege to vute upon it. Had they so de-
sired, they could have carried the State
by nine-tenths ma jority. But they did not
care at all. They simply remained away
from the polls, did not bother their heads
about the right of suffrage, and let the
whole business go by default. When
woman won't, she won't, and there's an
end ont.
However, there is no occasion for dis
couragement to those who have been
agitating and coutending for woman suf-
frage these many years, nor for those
who have more recently become converted
to the cause. They Will simply have to
familiarize themselves with the idea that
just as soon as majority of the think
ing women in any one State want the right
of suffrage, they Will get it. There is no
power extant to prevent. Men cannot do

may be. When the dear creatures take a
notion that they want to take an active
part in the affairs of the nation, they will
simply take seats in the front row and have
their way just as they have it now.

The detectives want E. B. Whitehouse,
abscoudins deputy treasurer of King
George county, Va, charged with the
einbezziement of S1,100 OF county funds
and the desertion OF his Wife and children.
The local detectives took hold OF the
case about two days ago aud last night
they made thorough search of the city,
for it is the opinion of the Virginia authori-
ties that Mr. Whitehouse is here. He has
relatives in this city, and for other rea-
sons than this 1t is thought that In his
flight northward he would lie over in
Washing ton. The search did not result
in the arrest of the einbezzeler, but his tran
was discovered aud the officers OF the
law are following this, and their prey is
not very far ahead OF them
The Wakefield and Randall were watched
closely upon landing here and trains from
that section of V Virginia are being scrutinizcd
Whitehouse was made deputy treasurer
OF King George county about one year
ago, when the present treasurer. Or. Nlhe'
went into office. The reputation or White-
house was excellent and he moved In lie
best society In the county. He was
Methodist Sunday-school teacher and
pillar of RyIand NJ. +. Chapel at Paspa-
tansa. He settled in King George about
fifteen years ago, coming from Pennsyl-
vanie, and married Miss Hayes. OF West
moreland county.
Whitehouse came TO his office at King
George courthouse daily and was trusted
with big sums OF the county's funds The
treasurer became suspicious that all was
not right, because certain collections did
not seem to him to have been properly
entered on the books OF the office. He
caused an examination TO be made of the
county's accounts, and the shortage nf
S1,100 was discovered. The Officers were
about to serve a warrant on Whitehouse
when he disappeared. whitehouse is de-
