The happenings in Crete have drawn
attention away from the trial of Cecil
Rhodes, the chief figure in the develop
ment of South Africa Mr. Rhodes does
not appear as a defendant, but as wit
ness before a committee of the ablest men
Of the British parliament. AS a matter
of fact however. he is on trial. because
judgment will be rendered on the report
of that committee, and the judgment will
be for or against Cecil Rhodes.
The question at issue is the RESPONSE
bility for the Jameson raid into the Trans
vaal republic-a raid that was made by
officers and men attached to the South
African Company, a British institution.
Mr.. Rhodes accepts the responsibility He
declares that he ordered Jameson and his
men to assemble on the borders of the
Transvaal republic, but did not order
them to cross the border He admits
that his purpose was to coerce the Trans
vaal government into granting the Uit-
landers-the newcomers-what he consid-
cred their rights. These Uitlanders con-
stitute a majority of the people of the
ITanSNddl TepuDilC. lney possess more
than half the land. and own al least nine
tenths of the wealth and pay nineteen
twentieths of the taxes. They have, how
ever, no political rights, no voice in the
making or the administering of the laws
They wanted these things and they asked
Cecil Rhodes the chief director OF the
South African Company. the man who has
added 100000 of square miles of terri
tory to the British empire to assist them
in getting them
A strong card which MIR. Rhodes Is ex-
pected to play is that the Transvaal re-
public was preparing TO put itself under
the protection of Germany. It is alleged
that Mr.. Rhodes has secured letters which
show that such preparations were in prog
ress. Great Britain claims to exercise
the right Of suzerainty over the Trans
vaal republic. and II Mr. Rhodes sue

Gen. Ices Attitnde.


II. as reported in our dispatches yester-
day. Gen. Lee. our consul general at Ha-
vana. has demanded that all the -r:e-i-
cans who are held by the Spaniaris ia
Cuba as political suspects. shall be liber-
ated 1T once or be given immediate trial
in the G. III courts. and has declared that
he will resign II the United states govern
ment does not sustain him, the relations
between Spain and the United states may
become somewhat strained. The demand.
however. seems to be a reasonable one.
Why should Americans. who allege they
have committed no crime. remain for
weeks and months confined In flthy Span
ism jails? They are entitled 10 a speedy
trial, and the government Of the United
States should see that they have It.
It is said that the immediate cause OF
Gen. Lees demand was the charge that
DR.. Ruiz, who was confined in a Spanish
prison on the charge OF sympat hizing with
the insurgents. and whose death by sui
eide was reported some time ago, did not
commit suicide. but was murdered by
Spanish officials. According to the report.
Or. Ruiz's body, on the demand Of Gen.
Lee, was disintcrred and thoroughly ex-
amined. While nothing was discovered
that indicated that Dr. Ruiz had been
foulIy dealt with. Gen. Lee. 1t is said, be
lleves, from evidence furnished him, that
he was No doubt there viii be a further
investigation OF the matter, and II sufi-
was murdered by his keepers, at the com
mand of the Spanish officials, the attitude
Of the United States in respect to Spain
viii undergo a radical change, in all prob
ability
There does not seem to be any good rea-
son why suspected Americans should be
kept in unhealthy Spanish prisons month
after month They should be given trial
as soon as possible after they are arrest
ed. It looks very much as if the Spaniards
have no evidence with which to convict
these suspects. and keep them in prison
for no other reason than to deter other
Americans from joining the insurgents.
They seem to think they can strike terror
to the hearts of Americans who contem-
plate joining the insurgents or sympathiz-
ing with them.
If that is their idea, they should get rid
Of 1t as quickly as possible. The United
States will not submit to having their
citizens treated in that way The whole
country will stand up to Gen. Lee in his
efforts to have justice done American citi-
zens who may be arrested and confined in
prisons
