Authorities, accepted as compe-
tent to judge of the situation In
Cuba from personal observation
and knowledge, assert that it will
be impossible for the war to con-
tinue for more than a half year
more. Weyler has gained not one
substantial advantage since as
Stunning control, he is weaker in
men and munitions of war than
when he assumed command, de-
spite the number Of troops sont
over from Spain, his commands
are sick and unfit for the field,
while the insurgents are more
numerous, better armed and
differed than at any time since
the field was taken by them.
Spain must soon come to her
senses and submit to see Cuba pass
from her control. 1t is for-herself
to say whether she shall get any
thing in return or not. She can
make terms with Cuba now that
will yield her something in return.
In six months more she cannot.

The Pressure for Protection.

The tremendous pressure that is be.
ing felt all over the country at this time
in favor OF return to- protection-ade-
quate protection, that shall preserve
our own markets for our own people
affords abundant evidence that a vast
majority OF these people of our own
country understand what the real diff.

ing TO vote to change their conditions.
While il is important that our currency
shall be OF sound and stable character,
IL is of the greatest Importance that
those who toll shall have opportunities
To do so and earn good wages in our
currency. The only way TO obtain these
opportunities, and TO restore the wage
conditions which the worl<ingmen Of
the country enjoyed before the blight OF
free trade settled upon the industries
OF the land, is 10 turn out the whole
free-trade crowd and restore the policy

she had undertaken this quest. The flow

no doubt. II explained also the young

officers-his adversaries; against him
self-their commander. He had previ-
ously wondered why-if she were in

vision commander, whose secrets were
more valuable. This was explained by

lie had no idea that he was making ex-
cuses for her-he believed himself only
just. The recollection of what she had
said of the power of love-albeit il had
hurt him cruelty at the time-was now
clearer to him, and even seemed to
mitigate her offense. She would be
here but a day or two longer; he could
afford to whit without interrogating
her.
But as to the real intruder-spy or
thief - that was another affair, and
quickly settled. He gave an order TO
the officer of the day peremptorily for
bidding the entrance of alien servants
or slaves within the precincts of the
headquarters. Anyone thus trespass-
ing was TO De brought before him. The
officer looked surprised-he even fan
cied disappointed. The graces of the
mulatto woman's figure had evidently
been not thrown away upon his sub
alterns.
An hour or two later, when he was
mounting his horse for n round of in
spection, he was surprised to see Miss
Faulkner, accompanied by the mulatto
woman, running hurriedly to the house.
He had forgotten his late order until he
saw the latter halted by the sentries,
but the young girl came flying on re-
gardless of her companion. Her skirt
was caught in one hand. her straw hat
had fallen back in her flight, and was
caught only by ribbon around her
swelling throat, her loosened hair Law
in black rippled loop on one SHOULDER.
For an instant Brant thought that she
was seeking him in indignation at his
order, but a second look at her set face,
eager eyes and parted scarlet lips

Democratic Not willing to Face the Tariff
Issue.
One of the most noticeable things in
connection with the present political
situation is the unmistakable desire on
the part of the members of the demo-
cratic party To get away from the tarifY
issue In the coming political contest
and to fight out the battle on the finan-
ciai question. That some Importance
must be attached 60 the financial and
money question generally no one will
doubt. But republicans everywhere
Will do well To note that the Importance
OF that question has been largely aug
mented 10y the action of the members Of
the free trade party in their frantic de-
sire to get away from the consequences
which have naturally resulted from
their violent assault upon the indus
tries of the United States.

showed him that she had not even no.
hced him in the concentration of her
purpose. She swept by him into the
hall; he heard the swish of her skirt
and rapid feet on the stairs; she was
gone. What had happened-or was this
another of her moods?
But he was called to himself by the
apparition of q corporal standing be-
fore him with the mulatto woman-tho
first capture under his order. She was
tall, well formed, but Enthusiastically
showing the negro type, even in her
small features. Her black eyes were
excited, but unintclligent, her manner
logged, but with the obstinacy of half
conscious stupidity. Brant felt not only
disappointed, but had n singular I'M
preston that she was not the same
woman that he had first seen. Yet there
was the tall, graceful figure, the dark
profile and the turbaned head that he
had once followed down the passage by
his room.
Her story was stupidity simple. She
had known missy" from n chile! She
had just trapsed over to see her that
afternoon; they were walking together
when the soiers stopped her. She had
never been stopped before, even by
"patter rollers."# Her ole massa MAN

and hadn't said muffin about no "or-
ders."
More annoyed than he cared 10 con-
fess, Brant briefly dismissed her with a
warning. As he cantered down the
slope che view of the distant pickets re-
called the window in the wing and he
turned in his saddle TO look at it, There

window in that part of the building

Ject, almost filling the opening, was
the vase of flowers which he had few
hours ago removed. restored to IL,
original position. He smiled. The bur-
ried entrance and CONSERVATION of Miss
Faulkner was now fully explained. He
had interrupted some impassioned mes
sage. perhaps even countermanded
some affectionate rendezvous beyond
the lines. And IL settled the fact that
1T was she who had done the signaling.
But would not this also make her cog
infant Of the taking Of the dispatch
box? He reflected however. that the
room was apparently occupied by the
mulatto women; he remembered the
calico dresses and turban on the bed /:
and II was possible that Miss Faulkner
had only visited 10 for the purpose of
signaling TO her lover. But the circtm-
stance did not tend TO make his mind
easier. IL was, however, presently de
verted by an unlooked-for incident.
AS he rode through the camp group
OF officers congregated before a large
mess tent appeared TO be highly amused
by the conyersation-half monologue
and half harangue-of n singular-iook-
