feels confident that the present negotia-

tional arbitration will terminate in the
conclusion of treaty; and although
Secretary Olney has at present the bet

reasonable to predict that Lord Sails
bury will revise his opinions in con-
formity with the American secretary's
argument. From now on the subject of
general arbitration will take the place
of wearisome correspondence about
number of minor disagreements; and
before long the Venezuela dispute and
the Alaska boundary squabble will be
submitted to tribunals appointed by the
two governments. Never has the pros
pect of war between England and the
United States seemed so distant as now;
and just because honorable reasoning
has supplanted jingoism and brag.

14th of August without having accom-

failure of everything they touched as
party measure. Ridicule has been
heaped upon the ministry. whose mem

that A. j. Baifour will retire from the

Chamberlain would become the real
head of the conservative party. and such

The Cuban Struggle for Liberty.

The renewed activity of the Cuban
patriots who. under Gen. Antonio Maceo,
recently defeated the Spaniards in the
province of Pinar del Rio in a pitched
battle, tnfiicting loss of 300 killed and
severely wounded, is declared to be the
beginning of the end of the great strug-
gle for liberty and freedom. American
sympathy, which has always gone out
to the "rebels," is aroused to such a
pitch that, before long. the government
at Washington must take some official
action. The rebellion has now reached
it's maximum strength. In all parts of
the island the patriots are winning vic
tories. while the Spaniards waste their
means, time and strength in perfecting
the ''trocha'-or line of fortifications-
which is supposed to protect the city of
Havana from all rebel attacks. The in
