Taken all in all, Captain General Wey-
Ter is having very uncomfortable time
in Cuba. He can not do as he pleases
at all lie is "hindered by the exccs-
sive degree of prudence he is compelled
to observe during the discussion in the
United States Congress of the bellige-
rencY of the Cuban insurgents, which
moreover prejudices the course of war ="
He is much embarrassed by the attitude
of the reform party, and he finds the
insurgents altogether too much for hin.
In spite of all his boasts and threats,
Weyler does not seem to make any more
headway i'll subduing the rebellion than
Campos made.

The Egyptian campaign is the one
topic of talk in Great Britain. The
Egyptian army has already left Cairo,
for the front. Lord Salisbury says
that the advance of the British Egyptian
troups up the Nile was undertaken after
having received communications from
the Italian and Egyptian governments,
and to the effect that Egypt was threat
ened with great danger through the
advance of the Dervishes. There are,
however, numerous indications that the
expedition up the Nile Is for something
more than merely the defence of the
frontier, and that it is the opening for
an offensive campaign to recover the
lost Egyptian territory.

Bangor Wing q Courier: In another
column this morning will be found the
full text of the report of the committee
appointed by the Loyal Legion of Maine,
concerning the establishment of an army
post in Bangor. The report was written
by General Conuor and endorsed by all
the other members, including General
Varney and captain Fairbanks of this
city. 1t covers the ground admirably
ami furnishes an unanswerable argument
in favor of a post here. The report says
the army should be distributed in those
sections where its services are most
likely to be required. 1.-The State of
Maine, 10000 square miles in area,
thrusts itself like wedge into alien
territory. Three-fourths of its outline,
apart from its frontage on the ocean, is
eonterminous to the Dominion of Canada.
1t is evident that this part of the Unit
ed States would be exceptionally exposed
in case of war with Great Britain, and
that, therefore, special measures should
be taken for its protection. Bangor
is easily accessible by rail and water
and has abundant facilities of COM
munication with all exposed points
of the frontier and its position in
respect TO them is central.

How DO You Like 1t?

How do you like it to have the snow
and slush remain upon the sidewalks T.
to II hours after a storm before any
effort is made to clear them of snow
and slush? 1t is quite compliment to
our managers, to have people wading
knee deep in slush or walking ridge
pole in the center of our sidewalks, ON
account of the snow being trod down
solid before the pillow goes through, as
has been experienced. What we most
need is a stormy weather man, who is
awake to the public needs.
