CAN anything good come out of Nazar-
eth? may serve to suggest the question,
can anything truthful come from Cuba?
The father of lies seems to have taken his
abode IN that unfortunate island and
every bit of news from there seems to
bear his stamp. It IS affirmed and de-
nie1, both on the authority of General
Lee apparently, that he has threatened
to resign if he does not receive more earn
est support from the state department.
General Maceo has been seen dead and
alive at the same moment. Lee reports
that Americans are invariably treated
with courtesy and demands war ships to
enforce demands for ordinarily fair treat
ment. Atrocities are committed which
make the blood curdle and are denied
with SO much emphasis as to create feel
ings OF chagrin over the belief given the
reports. On the whole it is difficult
matter to know how to ieel over reports
which ara vouched for as reliable.

The Pilot is Cuban sympathizer but
it believes that those who are so act
lively interested in the cause OF Cuba
as to commit overt acts against the
Spanish government should take their
chances and not use Tie United States
government as a shield. American
citizens who fight for Cnba are entitled
to credit. But when the fortunes of
war are against them they should not
appeal to the United States for protec-
ton. They should lie in the bed of their

his release was due to American in

This heavy expense to the government
began IN small way. but has grown to
such dimensions that now the amount
paid IN pensions does not fall far short
OF what the government expends in the
conduct of its affairs. There is no mill
tary establishment IN the world more
costly than the pension roll Of The United

pension rolls than there wers soldiers at
