of Spain while Gomez, Jose Maceo and
the others commit successful ravages in
every other province of the island.
Simultaneous with this sore trial OF
Weyler comes the revivais OF the Spanish
declarations OF readiness to treat for
peace on grounds which do not imply too
much consideration for Cuban consequence
or too great sacrifice of the monarchical
dignity. The two great facts ofthe Spanish
trocha and Spa nish concession may have no
necessary nection,'' but there are
those who suspect otherwise. Spain, it is
true. Processes 10 feel no cause for dis
ccuragement over the situation in her
rebeliious island. The queen regent, in
her speech from the throne, viii. express
sentiments of firmuess and non-compromisc.
But the somewhat eager Willingness OF the
mother country to grant some concessions
on the laying down OF rebei arms, gives
rise to the suspicion that the Spa nish
cause, if in her own eyes just, is at least not
strong.

In its most ambitious moments
THE TIMES did not a year ago
think It would in so short ti.ae
conquer its contemporaries in the
race for circulation.
To equal them, to secure to it
self an equal number Of readers,
would have been glory enough
for one year. But, when it looks
away back in the distance and
sees its principal rival sans ambi-
ton, sans enterprise, but with
just enough breath left in its
wasted, weary and wishy-washy
body to repeat, over and over,
"rve got the biggest; I've got the
biggestl" then only does the CO.
lossal degree of its conquest
dawn upon THE TIMES.
The circulation of THE TIMES
during the past week, a sworn
statement of which is appended,
shows another gratifying gain.
Advertisers who use its columns
reach from ten thousand to
fifteen thousand more readers
daily than possible through any
other daily paper published in
