for trying the citizens of this country
by court martial. except they be taken
with arms in hand, and even then they
are to have a public trial and oppor-
tunity for defense Spain has not de-
clared war upon Cuba, neither has this
government recognized the insurgents
as belligerents, If so those men taken
from the Competitor would have to be
treated as prisoners of war according
to international law governing the
same, and in that event Spain would
not dare to kill them. However weak
kneed our administration might be it
could not withstand the popular in
dignation at such an act.
Spain evidently realizes this and she
had the experience with the Virginius
affair to correct her view of the present
case The Virginius carried a filibuster
ing expedition to Cuba, was seized and
fifty of the prisoners after being tried
by court martial were shot Spain's
excuse was that she ordered delay of
execution but through some trouble
with the means of communication the
reprieve failed to arrive on time. This
year her reprieve arrives on time. for
on account of the Virginius affair she

$500 indemnity Did she not now
profit by that example She would be
obliged to suffer greater humiliation
for the sympathies of the American
people are thoroughly aroused in be-
half of the insurgents.
1t is but natural that the course of
Cubans, who have acquired American
citizenship and make use of that fact
to further the insurgant cause,sis very
annoying to the Spaniards. The latter
are getting desperate because with the
success of every filibustering expedi-
ton their hope of regaining Cuba be-
comes more forlorn. But that is an in
evitable part of the task they have
assumed in their purpose to govern
Cuba in the outrageous manner they
have. Our government has lent them
every aid in preventing these expedi
tons but the people are with the in
surgents aid them, subscribe to their
bonds and will continue to do so and
Spain will only precipitate the loss of
the vestise of her power now remain
ing in Cuba when she resorts toI
atrocity to put stop to filibustering.
1t is. though. very foolish for an
American citizen to expect that the
aegis of his citizenship Will protect him
at all times and under all conditions
when in Cuba. Doubtless many such
have been murdered with at least the
knowledge and consent of Spanish
commanders, who will continue the
same methods despite any efforts on
the part Of our government to prevent
them. When, however, such con-
spicuous case as that of the Competitor
arises President Cleveland and his
secretary of state cannot overlook it,
dare not neglect to protest against the
murder of those men and Spain can
afford to do no less than heed the pro-
test, as she has done and must continue
to do.

which support the opinion that Rus
STA is not so afraid of rousing the Brit
