The hatred Of exaggeration and enthusiasm
however led Gibbon to depreciate the value OF
his own theme and the Importance OF the men
whose names appeared In his pages i nave

and religion" In this epigrammatc form his
opinion OF the matter was offensive 10 the up
holders of religion. But in reality they took the
same view that he did o. the period between
the rise Of Christianity md the so-called reViVai
Of learning. 1t was the fashion with beheVer
and unbeliever alike to look back to an age OF
perfection The conclusion Of Gibbon. says Dr
Bury, tended in the same direction az the
theories Of Rousseau only. while Rousseau dated
the decline from the day when men left Arcadia
Gibbons era was the death Of Marcus Aurelius'
The true reaction against Gibbon was not
marked by the criticism. always carping. some
times petty, Of men like Milman and Guzot. VINO
were as fully convinced as he OF the deep de-
prayity Of the Middle Ages; but ii must he found
in the new scholarship. which is now daily hnd-
ing objects Of admiration among the statesmen
OF an empire that TO the last was the bulwark
OF Europe against the East. 1t might have kept
the Turk out Of Europe altogether. had 1t not
been for Venice and the Crusaders. whose sad
victory was as little to be provided against as
a cyclone a deluge or a confiagration The diff
ference between the way Of looking at Byzantine
history characteristic Of Gibbons time and tina.
which Is favorable at the present day can be
understood at once upon comparison of his study
OF Iconoclasm with the terse remark OF Dr.
Bury in which Is resumed the substance OF
various writings, that "thA cause for which the
Iconoclasts contended involved far more than an
ecclesiastical rule or usage; it met mt, and they
realized, the regeneration Of the Empire"
Dr. Bury remarks that the key to the his
tory Of the tenth and eleventh centuries Is the
struggle between the Imperial throne and the
great landed interest Of Asia Minor; the ac-
victory of the latter" A problem Of this sort
hardly came within the scope OF history as un-
derstood in Gibbor's day. B.t econ ,ro'c facts
OF this sort pressed upon the attention of Fin
lay. whose insight WIS rendered more penetrat-
ing by his own fir anc.al losses. When he be-
gan to seek the causes Of the insecurity Of in
vestments In land in Greece after the Revolu-
ton he was led nsensibly back to the year
JAG Il. c.. and so became involved in history
Of the Byzantine Empire. when he would per-
haps have been content to relate briefly that OF
modern Greece On Finlays work the criticism
OF DR.. Bury is that its value lies not only in
its mpartiality and in his trained dscernment
Of the commercial and financial facts underly-
ing the superficial history Of the chronicles, but
In its full and trustworthy narration Of events
Gibbons uniform tale of weakness and mis-
ery' began to take on a look Of variety and of
q strenuous long-continued effort OF civilization
against barbarism. which he, If he had lived In
the closing decades Of the nineteenth century In
stead OF the eighteenth. would have been the
first to observe.

At first glimpse 1t may look to the ordinary
reader as II Dr. Bury had burdened himseif with
an unnecessary task. Some of the most thor-
ough historical students Of the last generaton
Dean Milman the French statesman Guizot, the
German Wenck. the Orientalist ST. Martin ana
others pored over the pages OF Gibbon IN the
search for errors. They all agreed that, con-
siderins the range of his work. the corrections
REQUIRED were few. Not many real amendments
were made by Gregorovius, in his monumen'ai
work on the City Of Rome He had vast oeai
OF new material filing up In detail what GioDoh
left In outline; but what Gibbon did was usually
right as far as II went. The reason for this was
in part the temperament Of the great EnsNsh
historian His sceptcal moderation prevented
him from any such display Of enthusiasm as
that which flames in Macauay or Carlyle or
Mommsen.

TWO HUNDRED.
Insurgents Fared Gladly In the En-
gagsmelt at Taironas.
GOMEZ SAID TO Be WORRYING
Over tho Situation Of His Men
In Plaar Del Rio.

HADANA, Jan. G3-Tt has become known
that The engagement Mt TainUnas, not Tie
RADIO, not far from San Luis, Just south Of
Pinar del Rio. capital OF the province OK
that name, between the insurgents under
Antonio Mac,O and the Spaniards under
General Luque, ON Sunday last, was more
important than az first believed. The IN
snrgcnts nrc now said 10 have lost 2OJ
killed. Tho bodies of 40 dead insurgents
were found aitcrwl"l in different parts or
the ground abandoned by the insurgents.
The ruporu that Etbi, one OF the leaders
OF the second iusurgent army, now nd'
v%Hncing westward. was wounded In tho
last engagement with the Spaniards Is
confirmed.
1t is reported here that Maxine Gomes
is suffering from an attack OF sickness.
The columns OF General Corncll and
Colonel Macon are NJ Jamaica, in Habana
province, combining In n movement In
pursuit OF Gomez. Meantime, General
Aldecoa and General Linares have sta
toned themselves at strategic points,
and the Spanish authorities once more in-
dulge In the hope that they will bring
Gomez 10 fight a pitched battle or drive
him into n corner.
II is asserted here that Gomez feels much
t%rcpidation over the critical situation OF
Maceo In Pinar del Rio. The movements
OF the insurgents In MatanZas and Santa
Clara arc attributed here simply to n de-
sire to break up the line OF the troops
there and afford n line of retreat for Go
mez and Macco together.
The plantations OF Senado and luga-
rento, In Puerto Principe, are said TO be
successfully grinding cane.
The insurgents have burned the village
Of Nacarcno, near Placetas. The garrison
OF the fort succeeded in rcpelling the
enemy. The machine house of the planta-
ton of San jose, the canefields OF Rubi
Lolas, several houses at Ranchuelo, Santa
Clara, and the station and three houses in
the village OF Sabanilla, Matanzas, have
also been burned.
1t is reported that the insurgcnt leaders,
Vegas and Varona, have surrendered to
the authorities In Manzanillo.
