THE CHANGE IN CUBA.

The recall of Campos indicates the weakness
Of the Spanish position in Cuba, and is good
cause for the jubilant feeling of the Cuban
patriots and their American adherents
Campos is the best general in Spain to-day
and has saved the throne on two occasions
He was too humane a man for the extremists
who desire every Cuban who falls into their
hands executed summarily, aud the prospects
are that such commander will be his
successor, and that "a reign of terror will be
inaugurated.
This, however is something the United
States government should not tolerate and
the present state of feeling is such that the
commencement of this policy will result in
the prompt recognition of the insurgents
as belligcrents, which would be quickly
followed by an increase in their forces and
fighting equipment.
The sentiment Of leading Cubans is fOr
annexation to the United States, and while
the policy of this country has not tended to
territorial aggrandizement, it now has strong
inducements to enter upon such policy in
self defense, as England has surrounded u'
with fortifcahons which can be built witt
but the one intention of being in position t'
strike us in case of war, and the Venezuelan
question has shown how easily war can be
preeipitated. II is to be hoped that tht
change in Spanish commandants will result
in prompt recognition of the Cnbans. anl

If the Cuban insurgents would only
stand up and fight pitched battle against
the modern rifles and cannon of the Spanish,
troops they would confer great favor on the
Madrid authorities, But they prefer to dash
on weak points, capture isolated posts, de-
stroy the sources of taxation, cut lines of
communication and gradually force the
Spaniards back upon their stronghold
Against this plan of operations the grand
strategy of Campos thus far has proved a
complete failure.

Lanigan's Fair Maidens Fight over

There is young man at Lanigan's, says
the Mahanoy City Record, that is fortunate
in having the admiration of more than one
lady. He was won over by one, however, but
another, not to be outdone, secured his escort

antly paraded him before the town and her
rivals home.
This was cutting, to be sure, and both won

wagging ever since anger grew in intensity
and an outbreak was frequently looked for.

when three of each faction returning from

THE BRITISH FLYING SQUADRON
A Sensational Statement Regarding the
Fleet Proves senseless.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The statement
cabled from London by the United Press
that the British flying squadron is sup
piled with charts of North American
waters the West Indies and the Mediter-
ranean is ridiouled by naval authorities
here so far as it is attempted to attach
any particular significance to the fact
Most, if not all, naval vessels intended FER
foreign service carry charts of the world
at large, for it never can be foreseen when
they leave their home port for foreign
station when it may be necessary to send
them mt noJise so short rs to preclude the
mailing of charts to them.
In this fashion one of the British fleet
sent to our great rendezvous about two
years ago was suddenly dispatched from
Hampton Roads straightaway to South
America to meet an emergency, a course
that could not have been pursued unless
the ship had been supplied in advance
with full set of charts. Moreover such
n complete set is absolutely necessary in
the case of a flying squadron sailing under
sealed ORDERS for otherwise the secrecy de-
sired could not be maintained if certain
line of charts were selected.
