SrnrArl,y ron THE INSURGENTS

Aside from the late election and it's
rally claims the attention of the Amer
lean people to-day. above all others, is
the attitude of the United States to-
wards Snain in its relation to the Cuban
rebellion.
While the administration at Wash
ingion has maintained Il strict
neutrality, it is Il well known
fact that its sympathies are
with the insurgents, and if the peo-
pie were called upon To decide there is
little doubt but that they would vote
Overwhelmingly 10 so to the assistance
OF the struggling patriots. The sympa-
thics OF the American people are with
the insurgents as they are with all other
people struggling for liberty, and that
feeling Is heightened because Of the
atrocities inflicted by the Spanish SOL
diery upon innocent people. The fact
Is, any other President less con-
sentative than Mr.. Cleveland, would
have interviewed long since in behalf of
the Cuhans. and ii is probable that he
may yet be compelled to take such ac-
ton.
Certainly they have well earned their
freedom, while their oppressors have
earned the condemnation OF all liberty
loving people everywhere. There are
those who believe that the time has past
for further continuance of our present
pacific policy towards Spain, and that
feeling is increasing day by day No
man can measure the crimes, the human
butcheries of the Spanish soldicry sine.
the outbreak of the Cuban war. and IL
can be safely said that how ,nany of
their victims were Americans the out
side world will never know. How much
longer this condition of affairs will con-
tinue is question, but It is to be hoped
that the end is near.
