on account OF the Venezuela boundary
dispute, the writer endeayors 10 show
how the sky may be cleared and both ma
tions may be relieved of the strain while
maintaining national honor without in
jury or favor to Venezuela's dispute with
Great Britain.
To this end Mr.. HAMILTON considers
briefly several plans, chief OF which is
compromise by sale of disputed territory
by Venezuela to Great Britain. project,
however, which would not meet with
full favor in this country even II Vene-
zuels would be willing TO sell or Great
Britain disposed TO buy what she already
claims as her own. But the main point Of
the proposed plan is TO have reopened
diplomatic relations between Venezuela
and Great Britain. This would place
the whole matter back at starting point
and wonld then let the United States out
and give Great Britain's diplomats a
chance to begin over again with
the advantage OF the experience
they have had and their lesson on
the Monroe doctrine. The idea is that
IL diplomatic intercourse were thus
resumed the situation would then not
be allowed to proceed to point where
the United States woula be called upon
to intervene, and through that way En-
glano could settle her boundary question
without the complication she has now got
into and with no stain to national honor
by reason Of q ''back down" The
proposition for a resumption of such IN
tercourse must almost inevitably come
from Venezuela as so far as Great Britain
is concerned she has no contention at
stake now except with the United States.
Then should England make honest effort
to adjust the dispute on equitable
grounds and Venezuela refuse to meet
her, that refusal ould settle the differ
ence between England and the United
States.

Spanish were commanded by Fidel San
tocildes, the same one who was killed In
this war by Maceo's forces at the battle
of Peralejo.
::..W hen the peace of Zanjon was arranged.
Maceo did not like to agree to any treaty
with Spain. He continued fighting two
months more. Gen. Martinez Campos,
under the date of March 10, 1878, wrote
thus TO the prime minister, Canovas del
Castillo:
"lt is very difficult to arrange the
peace in Santiago de Cuba, where An
tonic Maceo rules. tie was a peasant, and
Is nov general. His am mbition is enor-
nous, his courage great, his prestige i'm
mense among his countrymen. He is
man OF high natural talent, and for him
nothing could be done, Notwithstanding
the wishes of the Cuban government. lie
has convinced Vincente Garcia that to
yield ia dishonor."
Maceo was compelled to leave Cuba, but
he lid not sign the peace. He came to
the United States. and afterward went to
South America, conspiring always against
spain. III 1880 he tried 20 rene@ the revo-
tuition in Cuba, bat uneuccessfnlly. In
1894 he WAS attacked at Costa Rica by
group OF Spapiasds as he was leaving a
tbeater. lie was dangerously wounded,
but he killed one of his opponents In
March, 1896, he landed in cuba again, fol-
lowed some days after by Marti and Co.
mez. His life since is well known TO
American readers. At the battle of Pc
ralejo, by defeating Spain's first general.
he added q psge OF glory TO his biogra-
ply. Iobito, Nal TEMPO, Sac de Indio,
Candelaria, are his most brilliant actions
after Peralejo, on account OF his wonder
full two invasions OF Pnar dc Rio. com.
ing from Santiago de Cuba the first time,
and the second from Las Villas, as report
ed by his staff chief, Brigadler Miro, was
published few days ago by The Sun.
Gen. Weyler is now very anxious to catch
him passing the military wall the Spanish
have esta blished from Mariel to Majano,
but the Cubans are confident Of Maceo's
courage and ability.
Maceo's feelings at present are the same
as in 1878. He says that death is bet
ter than any treaty with Spain not based
on the absolute independence of the
island. He will never accept auto
nomy or reforms. He hopes only in the
final success of the war, and with respect
to the work of the Cubans in this c5un-
try to obtain belligerent rights for the
patriot army he wrote few days ago to
them: 81 am more confident in the force
OF arms than In the abilities of diplc-
macy. THE sun.

kEPtBLftANS AMI Ihfs hAhATFs
Whether the currency issue will be the
dominant issue i'm the coming national
campaign depends much on the action or
inaction OF the Democratic National con-
vention on the matter II looks now as
II the Chicago convention would either
pronounce for silver or express itself in
such a compromise that the country
will divide between the two great
should the National Democratic conven-
tion furnish anything approaching a.
honest money plank to the consideration
of the electorate, other issues Will pre-
dominate. But just now the sound money
sentiment in the Democratic party ~
threatened with swapping under the free
silver wave that appears TO be sweeping
before it about everything Democratic
that gets in the path.
Republican sentiment, as authorita-
lively expressed in the preliminary party
conventions in different States, has
crystalized materially with recent weeks,
and there is today no question that the
Republican convention at ST. Louis will
finally demonstrate that the party is over
whelmingly for sound money. And at
this time that is about the only question
in the minds OF the voters. How the
respective parties would stand on the cur
rency is the uppermost inquiry and we
find Republican conventions every
where responding to the demand
for stand on the question and
answering 1t in a way to met with the APP
proval of the business interests and the
intelligence of the country. IL the Dem
ocracy follow the silver fallacy as is now
indicated they viii DO, voters will not
need to consider any other question TO
influence them in their decision as TO
choice Of candidates and platform. The
election will be settled on that one plank
and be settled in favor of the Republican
party.
There is indeed little need of any other
expression on the part OF the Republican
party except to reaffrm In the written
word the actual record OF thirty years of
administration. The country knows
where the Republican party stands in the
matter of the tariff. The Republican pro-
lection idea was thrown out along with a
Repub blican administration in 1892 and
the tremendous popular mistake has
been amply demonstrated to the pop
ular mind. The Republican party
stands on the tariff exactly where 1t did
In 1882, and the country that repu-
dated party and idea for Democratic
promises Of something better has every
reason to have come back to the Repub-
lican party position. The principle of pro-
lection to American industries has been
deep-rooted and is stronger today among
the people by the very fact OF the terrible
results OF it's abandonment which the vote
OF the people directed when it elected
Democratic administration. Should it
chance that the Chicago convention
should be outspoken for sound money,
the situation will be In no wise changed
so far as are concerned the respective ad-
vantages OF success Of the parties at the
polls. The tariff will then become the
dominant issue with Republican record
OF 30 years against Democratic record of
four years and the result will be the same
as though the Democracy had compelled
the people to consider the currency first.
