The United States ana cuba.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1 wish TO thank you most sincerely for
the earnest and candid interest you have
taken or and i'm behalf of struggling Cuba.
To say that i am disappointed at the tone
of the Presidents message is stating it
mildly. Having been in the diplomatic ser
vice, i am fully aware how careful and
guarded we must be i'm our treaty rela-
tions with other nations but there is a
limit even to diplomacy. and that limit in
my judgment, has been reached. The SYM
pathy that has been expressed by both
houses of Congress, by the national. con-
ventions of all parties, by the boards of
trade of every leading city of the country
and the denunciation hurled from every
pulpit and rostrum, seems TO me ought 10
be sufficient evidence of the temper of the
American people, and any person who for
a moment supposes that Spain will ever
yield one inch of that territory as long as
there is a single Cuban alive has not read
Spanish history and its inhuman practices
Alright, and has the time moi come when the
civilized nations of the world should make
1t plain to Spain that the. hour. for recogni-
tion of Cuba has come: II not by purchase
on the part of the natives, then by force
of arms on the part of this republic: it
stands the sponsor of human liberty on
this continent.
Financial problems. tariff and revenue
have their Importance and Significance, but
what do they amount TO compared to the
lives OF our fellow-men and the liberty
which all men should enjoy? At our very
door. within hailing distance, our fellow
men and women and children are being
slaughtered by system as inhuman and
cruel as was that of the inquisition in the
middle ages. and where Spain has ever
had a chance TO show her power. destruc-
tion has marked the pathway of its ambi-
ton.
1t is a relc of the medieval times that has
never made one step on the lines of progress
or civilization. and should no Longer be
tolerated on American soil. The soone- we
come to this conclusion, the better II will
be for all parties. Let negotiations be lad,
permitting the Cubans TO buy their swn
country, and let US guarantee the bond re-
imbursing ourselves by the products that
are to come from that boaulifn but new
stricken land. s. WOLF

New York Newspaper Gossip.

The New York Recorder has gone
through more changes than any other
paper of its age, having become an even
ing instead of morning issue, with Car
lyle \. Greig chief editor and John w.
Keller managing editor. George w.
Turner, its former proprietor, is now
serving as receiver, and Joe Howard has
discontinued his interesting column. The
Mercury has reached worse fate, having
died for lack of support after many years
of success followed at last by evil days.
The proprietor, William Noble, did not
want it even when he made the purchase.
He expected to sell at a profit and sup
posed that he had a sure customer, but the
latter backed out and so he was stuck
with that worst elephant in the world, a
daily paper, to man who has neither
journalistic taste nor ability.
The Journal evening edition has ap-
peared with r. A. Farrelly as editor and
E. H. Marriott city editor. The applica-
tions for minor service numbered four
hundred, and this shows the overcrowded
condition of the profession. Hearst, hav-
ing sunk $500, 600 in giving the Journal
an immense circulation, still finds it diff
cult to get advertising. The reason is
that advertisers are not in quest of that
class among which the Journal circulates.
They prefer papers that are read by solid
and respectable people who have both
taste and money. The newspaper wal
will increase in intensity SO long as Hearst
can spend So, 900 a week beyond his re-
ceipts, but this, while a godsend to the
craft, is severe on the cheap papers, as

"Cowards die many times before their
death the valiant never taste death but
once"
There is such thing as too much valof
when the foe is an insidious one. The
bravery that faces death on the battlefield is
praiseworthy; that which courts death by
a reckless disregard of the slow but sure
advances of deadly disease is the acme of
foolishness Consumption causes one-sixth
of all the deaths in the world. In spite
of this, thousands are to day disregarding
its insidious approach. Any trlflng malady
that results in disorders of the digestive
organs causing impure blood, emaciation
and lack of vitality, may weaken the respira-
tory organs and make them susceptible to
the assaults of the deadly germs of consump-
ton. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
erv will prevent all that. Moreover after
consumption has gained foothold, it will
cure it 1t is the best blood maker and
blood purifier known to science.

Losses of the Fishing Fleet.
The Gloucester fishing losses for the

The Gloucester fishing losses for the year
ending Nov. /, 1896, as compiled by the
Gloucester Times, are as follows; The total
loss of life shows slight decrease over the
figures of the year preceding, and is consid-
erably below the average for the past p
years. The gales of December and January
were, however, extremely disastrous to the
fleet, both in loss of lives and vessels. The
number of Gloucester fishing vessels lost
during the year was II, of an aggregate ton
mage Of 10lS.!4 tons, representing value OF
ST. 800 and an insurance of S5S, 1856. The
number of lives lost during the year, includ-
ing deaths at sea, drownlngs in the harbor
etc, was SS, against "a the previous year
when J. vessels were lost, valued at $4,000
and insured for 1913 ,072 and 1871 in 1894, when
