THE FIGHTING IN INDIA.
The British Army Is in a Critical sat-
untiOn.
Florida Citizen.

Florida CITIZEN.
Talk iingoism as we all may do on &C.
casions. there is still touch of the sym
nathy that makes the whole world Kin IN
the Anglo-Saxon blood, and the stout stand
that the British are making aI0ng me Fe,, or
heat For whenever the old lion is cornered
he shows his teeth and goes into the pat
tie with all Of his old stanchness; though
he NAV be hunted to his DEATH the man
must ware the claws before ne wears the
skin And there is enough in the situation
to challenge the nerve of the coolest soldier:
The few British officers with an army OF
natives are surrounded by millions, ana the
fame may leap up in their rear at any time
and cut them off from the possibility OF
Give and Hastings fought millions: but
these were only hordes of unframed Asiatics
badlv armed and worse led But what If
the men whom they have disciplined and
armed turn against them? What II the
forts and garrisons SO long nal MA 1,aI 70
guard the border now become the depots
and training camps of an army that de-
mands the enfranchisement of the empire
that has made England'S greatness? What
if Afghanistan choose the right moment to
send an army of her rif1emen into the low
country, and Russia use EDgland's danger
to extOrt the concessions that she has so
long asked, but waited for just such time
to demand? Where shall the nation that
knows no respect for the feelings and inter-
ests Of others turn for help or sympathy?
That England has held India as a con-
uuered province admits of no denial. That
she has made no effort to transform Hin
docs into Englishmen has been often
charged and never denied. She has treated
India as a greater Ireland. Exactly as the
Norman treated her until she turned on him
as she now fears that the Indian will turn
his oppreSsor
One year ago the Island Queen might
have been magnanimous now justice will
be considered weakness. But il cannot be
denied that her rule is still gain. on the
whole. for Christian civilization-that her
empire is one of education, and that her
conquests in Asia have much of good to
Mead without a shadow of right save that
of the strong hand. Events now occurring
are laying foundation stones for the history
of the next century TO rest upon, but the
form and nature of the structure to be
erected are vet lost in conjecture and wrap
ped in doubt And TO us these facts are
but reminders that we need only watch and
work Whatsoever the lion may do the
eagle can scar with unbloodied beak till
his own eyrie is disturbed.

woodford visits the Premier.

MADRID, Sept. 27-The United States
minister, General Steward l.. Woodford,
paid visit of courtesy this morning to the
Spanish premier, General Azcarraga. Sew
eral of the newspapers of this city allege
that General Woodford has said in inter-
views with their representatives that the
negotiations between the United Staes and
Spain on the subject of Cuba have not be-
gun and that he has only had preliminary
chat with the Spanish minister for foreign
affairs. The general is quoted as having
added that he found the Duke of Tetuan to
be a most amiable and able man and that
no ultimatum TO Spain was delivered, as
that country would not put up with it and
because the intention of the United States
was only to offer its good offices in the most
friendly terms. Secretary Sherman still
according to the interviews in the Spanish
newspapers, desires a prompt solution of
the Cuban question by November at the
latest. he fears the "jingoes' will make
themselves heard on the reassembIing of
Congress. Finally it is alleged that General
Woodford has said that in event of COM
plete accord being established between
Spain and the United States the latter will
take measures to suppress filibuSteTing.
