The official newspaper organ of the
Spanish army publishes official fguresof
the troops sent from Spain to Cuba from
March 1, 1895, to March 81, last. Before
the first expedition started from Spain
to Cuba, the Spanish army on the island
numbered 20, 600 men. A few days safter
February "a, 1896, 5000 soldiers were sent
to Cuba from Porto Rico. The Spanish
volunteers and militia In Cuba ulso
nubered go, 600. The exact number Of
armed men on the Spanish side during
the two years of war in Cuba has been
272, 1852. And despite all this, the Cuban
correspondent of the London Times, who
is by no means personally fayora BILE to
the Cuban cause, expresses the opinion
that SO lar as the suppression of insur-
rectjon goes, there 10 no hope that
this will be brought ,about next winter,
for during the Eainy season of the sum :
merlnothing more can be doneIthan there
was year ago. Last summer the author
tiles at Madrid were confident that, if
they borrowed sufficient sum of money
to enable them to keep large army &C.
lively at work Tin Cuba, 1.-THE rebellion
could be suppressed. The money was OBJ
tanned, but now after delay of twelve
months the condition is precisely the
same as 1t was before. except that Spain
is more than sl00. 600, 600 out of pocket.

1t seems that Senator Jones has set his
price for voting to report the tariff bill
favorably, and Epretty stiff price 1t is
too. He wants duty Of not less than
five cent pound on carpet wool with a
graded duty for the finer grades, duty
on hides, q differential of three-eighths
of a cent pound on sugar, big in
crease en- borax or it's compounds, and a
rate of one cent pound on oranges and
lumber, which is a third higher than the
rate in the Dingley bill aa it left the
House. Jones has taken all the silver
states, and the Pacific coast states as well
under his wing, and is looking out for
their interests with a vengeance. But
unless Jones votes with the Republicans
they cannot report the bill favorably, so
If he persists In his demand they
must either yield or see the bill reported
unfav0rably or not at ALL 1t is to be
feared that Jones's programme will be
the model which all the silver Senators
whose votes are needed will follow, and
that if the bill gets into the Senate lot
more concessions will have to be made
before it can pass. Apparently what the
silver men mean by not unduly obstruct-
ing the bill is not obstructing it after
they get all they want. !.

General interest In the arbitration
treaty has almost completely disappeared,
and it is a matter of Indifference to the
great majority of the people whether tina
Senate ratities it this week or not. This is
not due to lack of interest in arbitration
or decline of pu blio sentiment in favor
of an effective arrangement with Great
Britain for the peaceful settlement of
disputes, but TO the general belief that
the Senate has SO emascuiated the treaty
by amendments that it would amount
to very little even If 1t were ratified.

The Massachusetts House Of Represen-
tatives has passed school mill tax bill
substantially like our law on the subject.
All property ia to be taxed one mill on
dollar for the benefit of the schools. and
the proceeds are to be distributed among
the towns upon the basis Of school at
tendance. The Springfield Republican
denuunces the measure as Outrageous,
and its method Of. distributing benefits
and losses as palpably unequal, unjust
and vicious.'' That's what Maine cities
thought when O similar law was passed
in this state, but they had to take the
medicine all the same. AMI an appeal to
the Supreme court did them no good
since that tribunal decided that the law
was constitutional. 1t must BIZ admitted
however that the law has worked very
we'll In this state, and has undoubtedly
helpsd the rural schools.
