THE WARM CuBA.

The recall of Gen. Campos is equivalent
to confession that up to the present
time she effort to put down the Cuban
rebellion has been, to large extent at
least, failure. Commanders who are
accomplishing what is desired, are not
turned out or invited to resign It ia
only when complete or partial failure at
tends their efforts that the people turn
against them and demand a change.
Gen. Campos was sent to Cuba as the
man best qualified to deal with the re-
bellion. He had brilliant military
record. He had, too, a high reputation
as a civil administrator. He was given
full power to deal with the rebellion as
he saw fit. All the troops which he has
asked for have been furnished. They
have not been of the most efficient kind
to be sure, but they have been as good as
Spain could provide. Furthermore,
Gampos had experience in the island.
He knew the character of Cuban re-
bellions, and their mode Of warfare, for he
put down the last ore. Campos reached
Havana during the rainy season when
the weather and the fever rendered active

1t is highly improbable that England
will send her flying squadron either to
BERN uda or to the West Indias for the
reason that it would be highly i'm
politic thing for. England to do at this
juncture unless all the professions her
people have been making for weeks past
have been hypocritical. They have been
depreeating the war spirit that was
aroused in this country by President
Cleyeland's message and have been con-
tinually holding out to US the olive
branch. Right on the heels of those
professio ms for England to send squad
ron OF her strongest fighting ships, put
in commission avowedly for showing her
naval strength, to our shores, would be
to undo all the peaceful work her news
papers and her public men have been do
ing. Everybody in this country would in :
terpret such an act as threat, and the
effect would be Inevitably to revive the
war spirit and increase its intensity
far beyond what it was immediately fol-
lowing President Cleveland's mes
sage.

THE RECALL OF CAMPOS.
IN. Y. Tribune }
The recall Of Captain General Campos
from Cuba is not surprising. While
reckoned by many the ablest commander
in the Spanish army, his campain against
the insurgents in the Pearl of the
Antilles has been an entire failure, al
though he has been literally supported
by the Home Government. The rebel
forces have steadily gained ground, and
Campos has repeatedly fallen back before
them, while all the time protesting his
purpose of sweeping them into the sea-
Probably his recall will be decided re-
lief from a situation which had become
intolerabe. Campos' successor will be
General Weylor, who, in company with
General Polayieja. will sail for Cuba
Immediately. They are face TO face with
a hopeless undertaking, and can scarcely
expect to win where Campos has failed so
completely. The recall of Campos will
greatly encourage the Cubans, and cor
respondingly dishearten the Spania rds.
The crisiE in the island should not be far
distant
The Portland daily press., 1896-01-20

campaigning by unacclimated troops
practically impossible and the steady
growth of the rebellion for several months
after he took command was satisfactorily
explained by those unfavorable condit-
ions. Wait until the fever is gone and
the weather improves, said Campos. and
the work of putting down the rebellion
will begin in earnest. Several months of
the best weather that Cuba ever enjoys
have now past but the rebellion is not
put down. On the contrary it has in-
creased in strength, and from being a
mere local affair confined to province
or two in the eastern end of the island,
has spread out until it covers nearly the
whole island. For weeks Gomez has
been close to the gates of Havana while
the Spanish army has been cooped up
within incapable, apparently, of doing
more that to save the city from actual
capture. This in brief is the story of
Gen. Campos's campaign. Obviously it
has been failure. and 1T is not strange
that there should be demand too strong
to be resisted for his recall and the SUBJ
One complaint, and a prominent one,
against Campos, has been that he has not
been severe enough in his treatment of
the rebels who fell into his hands. The
average Spaniard has teen In favor Of
war of determination, and the govern
ment has undoubtedly been in sympathy
with that kind of performance. OF
course it will be perfectly easy for the
new commander to conform to the wishes
of the people and government in this re-
speot The mistake of being too humane
is one that Is easily rrected, and as the
new commander, whoeveri. he may be,
will want to do something to signalizs
his taking charge of the army. it is not
at all improbable that his first change
will be in the direction of greater severi-
ty. Too mild treatment which is one of
the specifications in the indictment
against Campos, will very likely be sue
ceeded by policy copied after that of
the Turks and Kurds in Armenia where
victory is followed by wholesale murder
and pillage. The Spanish general who
adopts that policy will not be long in
finding out, however, that it is he an d
not Csmpos who has made the mistake.
Probably Campos was not impelIed to
adopt mild treatment by tender heart
edness. His policy in Cuba Turing the
last rebellion was severe enough. He
chose the mild treatment simply because
ne believed TINT would be more success
full in accomplishing his purpose of put
ting down the rebellion. Canpos saw
that the civilized world would not tole-
rate such campaign as the Spanish peo-
pie wanted upon the island, and that
war OF determination would soon bring
outside interference. If his successor
is blind enough not to see this he may
hasten the war to conclusion, but it will
not be the kind of conclusion that
S pain wants.
