INHUMAN WEYLER

| AS far its bearing on the Cuban war.
| irrespective of the difficulties with
Spain in which it may involve us, it
may be said that the recognition of
belligerency, demands speedy action on
the part of Weyler if he would sue
| coed.
The limit of Weyler's warning to the
| CubanS has now expired. He will kill
| and destroy with a mercileSs hand
! from now on. He was sent TO Cuba
for that purpose, and because Campos
would not unrein the Spanish troops.
Weyler's record in the last Cuban
war in the seventies shows that he will
not be more humane now when the
war is so much more serious than then.
1t is useless for Weyler TO disciaim and
deny his atrOcity IN the former war be-
cause the records In the matter are
from eyewitness who wrote down
what they saw after all possible hope
of victory over him had passed away.
Enrique DOnderio wrote a book on
the former rebellion in Cuba, In re-
laung some of the atrocities he SAYS:
Here is another incident, taken down
from the lips of a Cuban of position,
who lives in New York City today:
You can refer to the country place
named LevadO. belonging To Maguil-
ara, who was vice president of the then
republic of Cuba. Weyler came TO
that country place and found, sick in
bed and almost dying, Eugenio Odaroy
TomagnO and his brother. They were
almost dead of consumption and in
state Of liberation. Weyler had them
dragged out of their beds. dragged
through the Railways. and outdoors TO
little wood. There they were cut TO
pieces with Enthusiastically minced.
The wife of the manager of the es-
tate, who was there with her little
daughter. s or Q years oid. was taken
out of the house, deprived of her cloth
ing. and made to dance. together with
her little daughter. Both were after
ward outraged and hacked to pieces"
In Donderio'S book. mentioned above.
the writer twhO. il must be remembered
was a Spaniard and not Il Cuban. and
who would certainly not have told
falsehoOdS against his cOuntrymenl
gives these thrilling little dramas OF
horror. taken from the reign OF Ney-
Ter at this period:
As we approached the ruined village
Of Bore. We SAW coming toward us the
guerrillas of Il Spanish column. who. in
a recOnnoitering expedition in the
woods thereabout had found 4 small

to a glimpse Of the home life. and an
interview. Of this Wichita woman. tlan
whom few of her sex have 4 wider
fame in the world and none a farther

tains a half-page full length portrait of

is picture of the First Christian
church, in the other a good cut of her
home. and at tht bottom group en-
bracing the faces of her two sons and

WHY WAR WON'T WORK.

Napoleon, who will probably remain
the worlds ideal Of a successful war
riof. declared that God was on the
side of the heaviest of artillery. At an
other time lie remarked that there were
three essentials TO successful warfare,
that the first one was money, the sec
ond more money, the third, still more
money.
There is much talk of war In high
and low places the world over. Any
| big war which does not directly involve
America, means money for America,
| while any war involving the United
States with either Of the great powers
of western Europe means an enormous
loss of money to such European power.
In other words all this talk Of war
between the United States and Eng
land as all this talk Of Germany or
England or any other western power
taking sides with Spain against the
United States is only talk. Because
the United States for the first time in
international way, to the evident sur
prise not to say chagrin Of hereditary
ruled peoples, is not an alarming fact.
Money and not the people is the power
which controls. absolutely, the policy
of each and every one of the powers
Of western Europe. All that they are
as governments hinges upon the matter
Of money.
A very large per cent Of all the sur
plus capital Of Europe is invested in
the United Sta ties of America. There
fore the same power which conserves
and sustains the ruling houses Of espec-
tally England and Germany, Is just as
vitality and directly interested In the
autonoInic preservation and the pros
perity OF the United States. Untold
millions of the money OF France. Ger
many, England, and the minor powers
OF Europe are invested in United States
properties and securities. The power
which makes Emperor William safe on
his throne owns the NJ. X. and 4. rail
way system, IS a large stakeholder in
our life insurance companies, stock
holders in our great monetary inStitn-
lions and the like. The sustaining
force which upholds England's crown,
and which demonetized silver In Amer
lea, holds American securities by the
hundreds Of millions, owns American
A
lands without end. French capital is
invested in tnnumerable American in |
dustrial enterprises, and In stocks, and |
bonds, and every other kingdom and |
of western Europe have |
fingers in American trusts and securl- |
ties. Therefore, isolated as America |
is and of such unbounded resources
within herself, 50 long as any war
which any foreign nation might wage |
against her failed to conquer her peo-
pie or revOlutionize the form of her |
government, she would in such an
event retain the power and right of |
confiscatiOn, to appropriate all kinds of
values and properties found within her
lines belonging to the subjects of the
powers or countries making war on her.
The expenses of both sides, in the
event of war between America and
England, would be paid by England,
unless England could so effectually
whip US as to force an indemnity large
enough to cover the indirect losses
which would accrue TO English indi-
YidualS and corporations

TRAFFIC CHANNELS CHANGING.
