With but two exceptions, the nature Of
the events which go to make up the his
tory of tho past year IL not startling.
The butchery of thousands of Armenians
by Turks has aroused tho European
powers, and at the close of the year active
preparations were In progress which sug-
gested the probable ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
the Ottoman empire. The revolt OF
Cubans against Spanish rule was the
next most important affair, and that, too,
was In full sway at the close of the year.
Spain seems to fruitlessly bend every
energy toward its suppression. Popular
sympathy Is largely with the Cubnns, and
their success seems not improbable. In
American politics the year has been ex-
citing, and one of the great parties has
suffered such reverses as to leave the
chief executive unsupported in political
faith by a majority in either house of
Congress. A chronological record of
events follows:
