task to crush resolute people who are fighting for freedom. Where CampOs has failed who can succeed ?
 What now? Is Spain's greatest gen. eral to be succeeded by Spain's most sav- age butcher :? There are mentioned the names of some men distinguished only for their ferocity. The appointment of such one would indeed be logical. Let there be no mistake, however, as to its meaning. It would mean a campaign of no quarter, no prisoners, in which the flag of truce would not be respected, nor the invalids and nurses in hospitals be exempt from instant butchery or capture. Such a catastrophe is not to be invited without the strongest of protests and warnings. Upon an attempt by Spain to maintain her authority in Cuba, by the forms and processes of civilized warfare, this country can look with some degree of patience and forbearance. Toward 8 savage war of extermination its feelings would be far different, and would doubt less soon express themselves in vigorous action. Spain must win humane victo- ry, or Cuba must be free

Washington Letter.
Washington. Jan. 20.

Washington, Jan. 20, 1896.
 The Monroe doctrine resolution report ed from the senate committee on foreign relations, which will certainly be adopted, ought to have at least one good result abroad. It ought to convince all Europe that partisan politics in the United States have nothing whatever to do with the Mon- roe doctrine; that it is a principle thor oughly and enthusiastically endorsed by our people, regardless of domestic politi- cal opinions, and that it is going to be firmly maintained, regardless of conse- quences. Once let Europeans become convinced on this subject, and there will be no further trouble about the general European recognition of the Monroe doc- Urine, notwithstanding the assertion of Lord Salisbury that it had no status as international law. An assertion of doc Urine by the official representatives, of ten million of the worlds finest fighting men, which is precisely what the adoption of this Monroe doctrine resolution by con- gress will be, is quite strong enough to stand without the support of information al law, and 1t will stand, see If 1t doesn't.
 The house tariff bill is still deadlocked in the senate finance committee, owing to the silver senators insisting that it shall not be reported without an amendment providing for the free coinage of silver.
 The courts are to pass upon the consti- nationality of the sugar bounty, Secretary Carlisle having formally certified the claim of the Oxford Beet Sugar Company to the court of claims. This Is the claim that Comptroller Bowler held up on the ground that he doubted the constitution ality of the bounty law. While only one claim is specified, they are all involved, as none of the $5, ,25O,O 900 appropriated by the f1fty-third congress to pay sugar boun- ties has ever been paid out by the treas ury owing to Comptroller Bowler's rul- ing.
 The broker who refused to answer ques- tions asked by senators during the some- what notorious sugar investigation in 1894, has been tried and found guilty of contempt, but he is not likely to be pun lshed for some time, If ever, as his coun- sel have applied for a new trial, and If that should be denied will appeal the case. There was very little public interest in this trial, and there will probably be less In the next, which will be months in the future.

N. Y. Tribune: General Campos has been recalled from his command in Cuba.
 When he assumed that command he ex- pected to return home in thirty days, am- ply victorious. Instead, after nine months, he will return home defeated and dis graced-so, far as the imposition of dis grace lies within the power of his political foes. He, Spain's greatest general, was sent to Cuba to quell what he was told was mere outbreak of rioters and mar auders. He found instead an organized rebellion that bade fair to become a rev. olution, and that there was amply cause for the insurrection; it was the last des- perate protest against uncomfortable op- pression, the ultimate appeal of the people for liberty. The task of ruthlessly crush ing such movement, and of reimposing tyranny upon the people, was not to his liking. He protested against it warned the Madrid Government against it., and strove to substitute therefore system of cancellation, of redress of grievances, and of granting the reasonable demands of the Cuban people. The Government bade him dc the work for which he had been sent. It drained it's Treasury to meet
 the cost It drained the resources of the Peninsula to provide troops. It rejected all plans for conciliation. News of rebel bands dispersed and rebel leaders put to death was all it wished to hear General CampOs undertook to obey it's commands with heavy heart, but with a loyal one. With all the resources of Spain at his back he did the best he could, and far better, we believe, than any other Spanish general could have done, to quell the in- surreotion. Of course he has failed in his campaigns against the insurgents. First he would keep them in the extreme east, and he drew a "dead line" across the island, beyond which they should not pass, and posted his troops along it from shore to shore. But they did pass be- yOnd it, and be had to fall back and draw another "dead line" further west. Line after line was drawn, till the map looked like plan of football field and still the rebels pushed on, ever westward. When they reached the meridian of Ha- vana the Spanish general fell back upon that capital and let them go by, and then swung out again and followed them into Pinar del Rio. Now his plan was to con- fine them to the western end of the island, and again he began drawing his "dead lines." But, having gone as far to the west as pleased them, the rebels turned and moved eastward, crossing the ''dead lines'' as readily as ever. When they got back to the meridian of Havana again they drove the Spaniards into the defences of that city, and there they are to-day. A hundred thousand Spanish troops have been unable to prevent ten thousand Cuban rebels from marching from end to end of the island. It is indeed hard |

The Connecticut state commission ap- pointed to arbitrate the disputed claims between Yale University and Storrs agri- cultural school, growing out of the diver sion by the state of the government fund for agricultural colleges, from the former to the latter college, held final meeting Monday at Hartford and made the award. The commission consists of ex-Chief Jus tice John D. Park, of Norwich, ex-Judge Dwight Loomis and Henry c. Robinson, Yale college $154, ,6O4.45, as damages. The award is signed by ex-Judge Loomis and Mr Robinson, as ex-Chief Justice Park dissents from their conclusions. He says that there should only be nominal damages, if any, awarded.
 Judge Park holds that Yale college has received adequate pay for instructing students in the art of agriculture under the provisions of the act of congress and the state law by which the income of the fnnd was paid to Yale for many years and now, even if the state has broken the con- tract, Yale Is not required to educate ag- ricultural students free, as formerly. To rebut this view, Commissioners Loomis and Robinson argue that Yale was com- pelled to expend much money in erecting buildings and equipment for the special instruction of agricultural stud dents, ,..and iasgreatly damaged by the transfer of the fnnd from her to Storrs. The items of the award are as follows: Accumulation of the fund and damages to October 1, 1894, $135, 300; balance due Yale as agreed, $1O,472.42; interest to January 20, 1896, $8,832.O3, The money must now be paid by the state to Yale univer- sity. The commission has been consider ing the case for over seven months under the act passed by the General Assembly April 21, 1893.
