LITERALLY SLAUGHTERED.
Crushing Defeat of Spanish Force While
Trying To Invade Cubitas.

Kingston, Jamaica, May 26. -Advices
have reached here from reliable
source in Cuba to the effect that a
strong body of Spanish troops recently
made second attempt to invade Gu
bitas, the seat of the Cuban govern
meut. They were ambushed in the
mountain Businesses and sustained a
crushing defeat. The Spaniards were
literally slaughtered by the insurgents
and the force was compelled to flee in
disorder abandoning their equipments
on the field. The advices furthers show
that a tilibustering expedition, having
large quantities of munitions of war,
has landed at place to the eastward
of Santiago de Cuba.
Cuban Fair Opens.
New York, May 2G.-The great fair
for Cuba Libre, or the Cuban
fair, was opened last night in the
Madison Square garden. The garden
presented gorgeous appearance, with
many lights and the blending of the
Cuban flag and "Old Glory" while the
gaily decorated booths added to and
heightened the general effect There
were everywhere hosts of darl-eyed
beauties, who did their best to wheedle
the seductive coin from the purses of
the large number of visitors, and there
were early indications that they were
emincntly successful.
Cubans Buy Yacht.
Camden, n. j., May 26.-The Cuban
junta has purchased a thirty-foot gas
and electric yacht owned by a resident
of Camden, and the little craft, Che
Lulu Snang, is now said to be on her
way to Cuba. The yacht can make
fifteen knots an hour and can carry
thirty people. 1t is said that she will
be used by the Cubans as sort oe
tender to the larger flibustering steam
ers and will convey the latters' cargoes
ashore to the island.

THE BEAN ESTATt-

Garnet to partition the estate
of the late Tom Bean, over
whose possessions one of the
most interesting lawsuits ever
inaugurated in Texas has been
pending for more than ten
years, reported tonight. The
amount of property after the
legal battle is estimated at
$4,000 by the commissioners,
who recommend to the court
that it be partitioned as fol

decision as to proportion, but
the commissioners today divid-

ENGLAND'S ENEMIES.

The chronic question of how Eng
land is to beat the combined fleets of
France and Russia is once more COM
ing up in discussions, stimulated, ap-
parently, by the current naval ma
Mowers. One difficulty seems to be
the geographical position of France,
with coasts both on the channel and
the Mediterranean, giving her interi
or lines, and helping her chances of
connecting with Russian naval forces
advancing from the Baltic and Black
seas. Another difficulty for England
is that of sealing up hostile ports, I'M
der modern conditions, by blockad-
ing fleet. To do this requires a very
superior force on the blockading side
and if the blockaded fleet once gets
out, it may have the whole ocean be-
fore it. In war with France, if Rus
STA joined in the struggle, there would
be three main British fleets; power
full one at Malta; a second strong
force at Plymouth, guarding the chan
mel. and third fleet, smaller, with it's
base at one of the Baltic Islands. The
enemy would have four main fleets,
one at Brest, another strong one at
Toulon, and two smaller fleets in the
Baltic and Black seas.
The old solution of the problem in
building more and still more ships is
again reached, and added to the
heavier vessels for the line of battle
there must be cruisers enough to pro-
tect British commerce lest the British
islands should have their food supply
cut off. This last matter has called
out the rather remarkable proposition
from Gen. Rice to establish granaries
in the islands capable of holding half
years supply of wheat for 36,O00,-
900 people. The sum which Gen. Rice
would set apart for the purpose is
$40, 900, 900 to start with. This is
rather costly method of providing
for contingency, but it illustrates a
current British propensity to specu-
late on the chances of England's be-
ing defeated at sea by combination
of fleets against her, and the results
that might then be expected.

They are making an issue of the
tariff in Canada, and one of the prob
lens which the new government will
be called upon to tackle will be the
question of protection, policy which
a good many Canadians want to see
tried there in thorough way. Sir
Mack enzie Bowel has been inter-
viewed on the situation and what he
says is interesting. He was asked
what he thought of Mr.. Laurier's
uJterances on the tariff, and he re-
piled, s'He is hedging, which will not
do. He will have to face the music
squarely. There will be no compro-
mise, / am certain, on the part of the
opposition on this question. The
prosperity of Canada depends upon a
permanent policy, and that policy is
protection. Delay on Mr.. Laurier's
part to deal definitely with this ques-
ton will be disastrous, creating I'M
certainty and fear in the minds of all
business men, whether importers or
manufacturers

In disguise" Stifl we remain skepttcaa.
To accept Judge Aidredsc's statement
requires too high a fight into the
realms of fancy. We might possibly
imagine Mckinley as the saly true
friend of free trade. or Henry George
as an earnest consistent champion OF
protection; we can conceive Of Baron
Rothschilds as a thoroughly unselfsh
humanitarian, a highway robber as a
conservative of the law, or Annanfas
as a God of Truth" but we are not
quite able to so completely reverse the
ordinary modes of thought rs to appre-
ciate Judge Aldredge's rhetorical figure
in which the advocates OF the gold
standard are pictured as the true
friends OF silver"
1t is really no wonder that the bank
ers went wild with enthusiasm over
their new prophet. 1t most certainly
wrought some miracles. And yet 1t
must be confessed that he has not quite
settled the silver question. Perhaps
he will later on.

A WISE PAPER.
or Course 1t Favors the Anti-American
Financial Policy.

The Nashville, (Tennessee). Banner.
knows all about political economy. In
a recent issue it says:
Under free coinage the $500 900 900
in silver now eXtant would shrink to
half that sum in power to purchase,
and there would be no other money in
the country but silver
There is profundity for you! How
Inundated Adam Smith or John Locke
would feel, if alive, to think that no
such colossal idea ever terminated in
their brains.
1t takes an American champion Of
sound CD money TO think of things!
And here we have a thought" that
ought to immortalize the chap who
thought" it. Under free coinage we
would lose about q Of our money sup
ply. We would have nothing but silver,
only $500, 000, 600 of that and each dol
lar is going to be worth just half as
much as a dollar is now. Money is to
become so scarce in the country that
there is only about 81 apiece for the
people, and yet with frantic struggle
going on all the time for the possession
of those few dollars, they are only to
be worth 30 cents each. Shades of all
the fathers of political economy!
But why did not the Banner give
Secretary. Herbert the benefit of that
idea before he began his late campaign
in Alabama? He told the people that
silver would be cheap under free coin
age because there would be so much
of it, and he likened it TO the case Of
Confederate paper.
One great advocate of sound CD money
tells us that an excessive quantity OF
silver will make it cheap" Another
great advocate of sound CD money tells
us that a scarcity of silver will make
ii Cheap" Nov we see il, now we
don't see it,"
What a queer thing silver must be
anyway, when an over-supply and an
under-supply, abundance and scarcity.
both have the effect of making it
Cheap"
After all 1t may be the sound CD
money that is the queer" thing, for its
philosophy is both profound and mys-
terious.

MEXICO SATISFIED.

Mexico seems TO be we'll satisfied with
her monetary system. There is no rea-
son why she should not be. Although
not yet in the front rank OF nations,
she is improving her condition with
marvellous rapidly So long as she is
moving forward with greater relative
speed than gold standard nations, it is
but natural that she should regard her
monetary system as a good one.
When half-civiliZed nations upon the
silver basis are enjoying greater rela
tive prosperity than the highly civilized
gold standard countries, it furnishes
conclusive evidence that gold 10 not the
only honest and sound money" If
the believers in the gold standard
would open their eyes, the palpable his
tOric truth that nations have lived and
prospered for many years at a time
without either metal in circulation, it
might dawn upon them that all the
hopes of humanity do not depend upon
the gold dollar.
Speaking OF the clap-trap about free
coinage sinking the United States to a
lower level, the Mexican Financier
says:
There is a good deal OF foreign rub

Uncle Sam. Our railways did not 20

our factories were actively employed;
our cities we're not filled with hungry

cashiers were not running away or com

verse the remark above quoted and say
that it would pam us to see Mexico
adopt the gold standard and sink to the
level of countries like the United States
and Monaco!
Those people who are so afraid Of
having our standard of civilization low
