Captain-General Weyler is doing Cuba's

nations and other literary preparations for
an active campaign of cruelty and bar
barism- He is rapidly alternating those still
remaining in this country who favor the
Spanards in the present emergency, and
his latest efforts in the proclamation line
are hardly calculated to check the pro-
cess. These pronunciamentos are harsh in
tore and wide in scope. They practically
place Gen. Weyler in direct control of every
man, woman and child in the entire island,
with the power to take life on any pretence
They create New and entirely unjustifiabla
conditions and threaten the popula ton with
death. imprisonment or Punishment in case

prestige of Spain, her army, the volunteers

This shuts off all news from Cuba but
that which is favorable to the Spanish
cause. and renders all correspondents dar-

State Making.

a bill was recently introduced in the Mary

state out of the portions of three states that
now form the peninsula known generally in
this region as 'the eastern shore" This
would include all OF Delaware. the counties
of KeBt. Queen Anne. Caroline. Talbot Dor

control both shores Of the upper Chesapeake.
Dtsregarding for the present such consd-
eratfons as the willingness Of Maryland to
surrender the eastern shore, or of Virginia
to donate two counties to the new organiza
tion, or indeed that of Delaware to enlarge
her scope and responsibility. 1t is interest
ing to contemplate the possibilities of such
scheme. Delaware in 1890 had 16S, 493 peo-
pie, the eight eastern shore counties Of
Maryland 15S.236. and the two Virginia
counties 1880. making total for the whole
peninsula of 36i,219. This population would
doubtless equal 100000 by the end of the
century in the course of natural growth,
and might exceed that figure under the
stimulus of a new organization. But as it
stood in 1890. with &C., 219 people, the PENN
sEla then exceeded no less than eleven
states in population, namely, Utah, Rhode
Island, South and North Dakota, Vermont,
Idaho. Montana, Nevada, Wyoming Wash
ington and Oregon. The new state, under
the present apportionment. would have two
representatives and possibly three. thus CIV
ing it four or five votes in the electoral col
lege.
Doubtless if such plan were consum-
a greater Delaware, with the name and con-
Stitution of that state. Should a new name
be chosen to cover the peninsula no more
appropriate title could be found than Chesa-
peake This question of preserving the
identity of the original organizations has
been the main obstacle to several geographic
cal reforms that have been proposed, some
of which might profitably be accomplished
1t was only few months since that an en-
thusiastic Ch!cagoan proposed to carve
new state out of those portions of Illinois,
Indiana and Wisconsin that touch the
southern shores of Lake Michigan includ-
ing, OF course. the great western metropolis
A far more equitable scheme however was
that which had in view the partition of
Nevada, famous as a rotten borough" with
its dwindlng population, stated in 1890 to
be 4'iG1, or 1f,!'f5 less than in 1850 This
idea involves the division of Nevada among
California, Utah and Idaho, charging those
states and wiping the silver state from the
political map. Another plan was to create
the new state of Superior out of the
Northern peninsula of Michigan and portions
OF Wisconsin and Minnesota Texas, with
her DIG counties and 2i5, 7S0 square miles,
mas long been regarded with wistfulstyes by
the makers of new states, but no serious
proposition to carve new orSaniza lions out
of the Lone Star state have been made in
late years.
