Accident in a Theater.

SAN Francisco, Dec. Herr Langs-
low, tightwire performer and marks
man, was severely injured during per-
formance at the Orpheum yesterday aft
ernoon, His wife, whose stage name is
Ellen Vetter, entered a large iron ball
and rolled it up a spiral track to height
of II feet. but in descending lost control
of the ball, which started down rapidly,
and when about 10 feet from the stage
jumped the track. Langslow, who from
the wings was watching his wife, saw
her danger, and endeavored to break her
fall. He succeeded, but the heavy globe
struck him on the right shoulder, caus-
ing dislocation. He will not be able
to perform again for some time.
Langslow has been injured before in
the same manner, once in Berlin, when
the globe fell 10 or II feet and struck
him.

selves at the mercy of Spain by throw
ing down their arms, has the appear
ance of neglecting the gravest of the
sincerity of any professed willingness to
grant reforms. The objection on behalf
of the insurgents-that the promised re-
forms cannot be relied upon-must, of
course, be considered, though we have
no right to assume and no reason for as
suming that anything Spain undertakes
to do for the relief of Cuba will not be
done according to both the spirit and the
letter of the undertaking.
WAY OUT OF 1T.
Nevertheless, realizing that suspicious
on the part of the weaker of the two
combatants are always natural and not
always unjustifable, being sincerely de-
sirous in the interest of both as well as
on our own account that the Cuban
problem should be solved with the least
possible delay, it was intimated by this
government to the government of Spain
some months ago that If a satisfactory
measure of home rule were rendered the
Cuban insurgents, and would be accept
ed by them upon guaranty of Its execu-
tion, the United States would endeavor
to find way not objectionable to Spain
of furnishing such guaranty.
/ While no definite response to this inti-
nation has yet been received from the
Spanish government. 1t is believed to
be not altogether unwelcome, while as
already suggested, no reason is perceived
why it should not be approved by the in
surgents. Neither party can fail to see
the importance of early action, and
both must realize that to prolong the
present state of things for even short
period will add enormously to the time
and labor and expenditure necessary to
bring about the industrial recuperation
of the island. 1t is, therefore, fervently
hoped on all grounds that earnest efforts
and the insurgent Cubans upon the lines
a bove indicated may be at once inaugu-
rated and pushed to an immediate sue
cessful issue. The friendly Offices of the
United States, either in the manner
above lined or in any other way consist
ent with our constitution and laws, will
always be at the disposal of either party.
Whatever policy may arise. our policy
and our interest would constrain US to
object to the acquisition of the island or
to any interference with it's control by
any other power.

Cuba.
DEMAND FOR INTERVENTION.
The inevitable entanglements of the
United States with the rebellion in
Cuba, the large American property in
terests affected, and considerations of
philanthropy and humanity in general,
have led to vehement demand in vari-
GUS quarters for some sort of positive
Intervention on the part of the United
States. 1t was at first proposed that
belligerent rights should be accorded the
insurgents, proposition no longer
weighed because it's untimely an imprac-
tical operation would be clearly perilous
and injurious to our interests. 1t has
since been and is now sometimes con-
tended that the independence of the in
surgents should be recognized. But,
imperfect and restricted as the Spanish
government of the island may be, no
other exists there, unless the will Of the
military officer in temporary command
of particular district can be dignified
as species of government. 1t is now
also suggested that the United States
should buy the island-a suggestion
possibly worthy of consideration if there
were any evidence of desire or willing
ness on the part of Spain to entertain
such a proposal. It is urged, finally,
that, all other methods failing, the ex-
listing internecine strife in Cuba should
be terminated by our intervention, even
at the cost of war between the United
tot nd St,oin-o erh &c Cd
vocates confidently prophecy could nei-
ther be large in its proportions nor
doubtful in it's issue.
CHARACTER TO MAINTAIN,
The correctness of this forecast need
be neither affirmed nor denied. The
United States has, nevertheless, char
acter to maintain as a nation, which
plainly dictates that right and not might
should be the rule of its conduct.
Further, though the United States ie
not nation to which peace is a neces-
sity, it is, in truth, the most pacific of
powers, and desires nothing SO much as
to live in amity with all the world. Its
own ample and diversified domain salts
fies all possible longings for territory,
precludes all claims of conquest and
prevents any casting of covetous eyes
upon neighboring regions, however at
tractive.
That our conduct towards Spain and
her dominions has constituted no ex-
ception to this national disposition is
made manifest by the course of our gov
ernment, not only thus far during the
present insurrection, but during the
ten years that followed the rising oi
Yara in 1868. No other great power. il
may safely be said, under circumstance
of similar perplexitY, would have mani
tested the came restraint and the same
patient endurance.
RESPECT FOR SPAIN.
