Spain's Rig .Jol,.

Spain $6,00O,000 a month for the main
tenance of the army alone. From the
outbreak, February 81, 1895, until JAN
uary /, 1896, the cost amounted to $751;
100000, according TO figures published
by La Discussion, here. The loss, ow-
ing to the burning of crops, towns and
destruction of railroad property can
not be calculated until the smoke clears
away. The Cubans, without recogni-
tion as belligerents, are a long way
from obtaining freedom for Cuba, but
Spain, on the other hand, seems to be
long way from crushing out the
trouble.
