THE SITUATION IN CuBA.

The alarming news published by The
Post yesterday from Cuba confirms the
Prediction made by this paper some days
,.ince with reference TO the consequences
2f the policy of destruetiveness beng
pursued by the insurgents.
How could the Cuhans expect TO SUB
Fist in the interior with their crops and
their homes in ashesI Ii would seem
that even the most short-sghted patriots
sould see that the Spanish troops could
stIll obtain supplies from abroad, through
Havana, while the fnsurgept army ana
Inc people Of the interior wero starving
in a desolate country. II was TO burn
he bridges behind them without seeing
he way open In front. and while it might
keep the Spaniards from sending large
army into the interior 1t would ncces-
t,arily fall heaviest upon the rebels ami
he natives TO deliberately burn their
of subsistence. Aside from being
CONTRARY to the usages of modern warfare
70 thus wantonly beggar the ncn-com-
patants 1t WINS a mad policy that has
prevented tho manifestation Of great
deal of sympa thy in the United States.
Tho world shudders in these times at
ehe exhibition of barbarity or cruelty
any cause The ferocity Of tho span
ards Is no justification. When tbs
course was first adopted by the insur-
gents The Post expressed the fear that
Ahe only consequence would be famine
nd that tho generosity Of the United
States would be chiefly drawn upon 10
alleviate the suffering, Now ;his fear Is
being realized If the dispatches are cos-
Erect.
The remarkable feature about IL al IS
Bssiat the situation deliberately brought
1sbout by the insurgents is referred g -

newspapers of the state is having the
desired effect. AT a meeting of the
board of trustees which was called some
months ago to investigate certain al
legged irregularities on the part of the
management, it was found that al
though no Irregularities had been prac-
ticed, yet it was quite necessary to
inaugurate certain much needed re-
forms in the management of the insti-
tuition, which covered most of the
ground upon which the charges had
been based. And now at meeting Of
the board which was held in Boise City
last Saturday, it was found necessary TO
curtail expenses at the home and with
out the shadow of an apology the board
ordered that the salary of Commandant
Maxey be reduced from $1,000
to $500 year, and that Of Adjutant
Miner from 600 to $500. 1t has been
the opinion of many citizens of the
state that the expenses Of the institution
have been too high and the action of
the board will be generally commended.
