sPANIARDs TIRED OF THE WAR

The fact that the Spanish people aye
Directing strenuously to sending any
more recruits to Cuba demonstrates very
conclusively that those who make up
the rank and file OF the armies have had
enough fighting and see no hope OF
successful outcome OF the struggle, so
far as Spain Is concerned. A number Of
people have been arrestel for attempt
Ing by force to prevent the embarkation
OF any more soldiers, and musterings OF
dissatisfaction have been heard IN other
places in Spain. In the meantime
Spanish dispatches from Havana report
continual government sue .esses with
great slaughter OF the insurgents and
no loss comparatively to the Spaniards.
The authorities there, however, ought
to have discovered long sgo that this
style Of conducting campaigns is sure
to prove failure. Nobody attaches
any Importance to such reports, not
even the rebels themselves, for they 20

tions. The movement to enlist negro
soldiers for service in the Cuban
armies. recently inaugurated in Ala
bsma hodes no good to the success OF
the Spanish cause, bus rather indicates
the introduction OF an element into the
contest which may prove disastrous to
Spain. The Southern negroes could
stand the Cuban climate we'll, and prof.
erly ofiicered would prove formidable
opponents to the soldiers of Spain. The
negro Is to certain extent the creature
OF impulse. and II once persuaded that
service in the insurgent armiee would
Insure him forty acres OF land and q
couple OF oxen. there would be such a
rush for enlistment as to tax the re-
sources OF the Junta to their utmost
in providing them arms and trsnsporta-
ton. Altogether. the situation 10 the
Queen Of the Antilles is constantly
growing more interesting, and unless
the Spaniards soon gain some very SUBJ
