When the United Press sent a special cor
respondent to Cuba some months ago 1t was
for the purpose Of ascertaining the truth with
cut prejudice or prediction, and we presume
that the interview with this gentleman. who
has just returned from the island, may be ac-
cepted as an authoritative statement of the sit
uation so far as 1t is possible to learn 1t under
the strict orders Of General Weyler. The In
teryiew shows that the insurgents are steadily,
though slowly, gaining ground, but the end is
not yet in sight. The guerilla warfare which
they are carrying on Is the kind for which they
are best equipped. and against 1t the Spanish
forces are able to make little Roadway, despite
the inhuman and uncvlized methods which
Weyler has not hesltated TO adopt.

II the Greater NewYork bill Is to become
law, as now seems In every way probable, 1t Is
OF the first Importance that the men who make
up the Commission which Is to prepare the
charter for the combined city should be most
carefully chosen. The Commission Is to con-
sist OF fifteen members. of whom nine--a clear
majority-are to be appointed by the Governor
and approved by the Senate. The question has
been raised whether the Governor is bound to
make his appointments SO that the Senate may
act on them before Its adjournment on Thurs
day, and Mr.. Morton has sought the opinions
of number of prominent lawyers on this point
II n obvious that great care should be exercised
In selecting these Commissioners, and 1t is to
be hoped that the Governor will not feel obliged
to act in haste and without time for full con-
,sideration.

The soft weather of the past week
or ten days has been hard on the log
gers, especially Oh those who are bank
ing on lakes OF have to haul across
them. 1t has made the ice SO soft
that it is dangerous to drive on at al
and at best only very small loads car
be drawn onto or across it. Last Sat
urday John MOnahan had a loaded
sleigh 90 through to the bottom and
1T was only with great difficulty that
the horses were kept from going in.
Robert Stewart, who is banking on Il
lake near State Line says that they
can not unload W hole load in one
place but have to scatter it about as
the heft settles the ice and makes it
dangerous and. at the best they can
only haul about half load MI jim
son, who is hauling across Columbus
lake, makes the same complaint.
Several OF the loggers say that il the
soft weather continues much longer
they will have to give up hauling.

Internattonal Arbitration.

The real obstacle in the way of inter national arbitration is not so much a lack of efficacy in the method as the lack of disposition to try it. Tho sys- tenn of arbitration necessarily presup- poses that nations desire an amicable adjustment of their differences. Such an adjustment may be prevented either by willful opposition to it or by the adoption of 8 style of controversy that will render argument impracticable
 Against such obstacles it is difficult to contend, since their direct tendency and effect is to bring about collision be- fore an arbitrator can intervene. It is obvious that arbitration can no more afford an absolute safeguard against such contingencies than can system of municipal law absolutely prevent men from attempting to settle their differ eEccs> by fighting in the street, if they desire thus to revert to primal condi- tions. Yet severe penalties, strictly en- forced, may reduce such chances to a minimum, aud it is conceivable that a scheme of international action might be devised so comprehensive as to render 8 resort to war exceedingly difficult and hazardous '-'The Possibilities of Per manent AIbitration'' in CcDtnrv
