sp,IS,s POSITION IN CUBA.

Sensational reports have found their
way past the Gordon of darkness that
envelopes Cuba, and a shock to the
public mind in Spain is the result. The
Cubans have captured fortress IN San
tiago de Cuba, with artillery, infantry
and cavalry in such force that Weyler
has called for more men from Spain.
In fact, the Captain General practically
admits that be is lost in the eastern
provinces without aid from the home
Government. Victoria de las Iunas has
fallen, Bayamo is besieged, and the
Cauto, the only nayigable river in the
island, is lined with the blue-and-white
flag of the insurgents.
Weyler's call for reinforcements has
at last created reyulsion in Spain, and
the leading papers Of the country join
in the cry "not another man, not an
other peseta " for Cuba 1t is pointed
out that Cuba is not worth the holding i
to keep it it must become a Spanish
cemetery. The Spanish people have
given freely to their last rial and have
seen their sons die like sheep in th'
vain effort to crush the spirit Of freedom
in the rebellious province.

n.rIMInArING WITNESSES

In the reply Of certain officials to the
GAR. National Committee on Pensions,

that the former lay entirely too much
stress upon the necessity Of protecting F"
the witnesses for the Government. This
was part of the odious policy Of Hoke
Smith and Lochren. They encouraged
ali sorts Of sneaking and anonymous at

able man can understand why the pro-
ceedings in a pension case should be
made any more secret and inquisitorial
than those in civil or criminal lawsuit.
There is no reason why they should be
as much so.
The interests of justice would FIRE,
quently seem to demand that secret
testimony be taken, and the witnesses
protected against the vengeance of those
whose lives or liberty they may swear
away. But such inquisitorial method:

which has been greatly to excite the MuSSUl-
man mind against Christians. In this book
the faithful are exhOrted never to turn their
backs to the infidels, unless it be to reinforce
and assist another line OF Moslems who are
facing the Christian enemy. The wrath of
future perdition is leyeled at those who fail
to meet death, if necessary, fighting for their
religion and those who die in the cause are
promised all the blessings of the MahOm-
etan heaven. THE Mad Mullah, il is
alleged. has been circulating this book and
preaching from it to incite the Afridis to the
present insuTrecti0n.
The situation in India itself is 10 small
cause for alarm to the English Government
There are runors that the Sikhs, who have
always been the backbone of British power
in India, are at last mutteriDg with discOn-
tent against English rule The people OF
Raapootna are also said 10 be disatfeeted.
These reports may well cause uneasiness when
it is remembered that England has not
sufficient white troops to govern the millions
of India in case of an instruction, and must
depend upon LOYAL natives 1t was by the
valor and fidelity of the Sikhs that she sup
pressed the SepOy mutiny in 1857, and ever
since they have been her reliance. The
Ghurkas of Nepaul are being pressed for
ward to meet the Afridis in the present
emergency but these people cannot be relied
upon should the SikhS and all the h0rdeS OF
the Puniaub fail.
The causes of disaffection in India at this
time are many. There is the disastrous famine
and the attendant plague, and the additional
embarrassment arising from financial crisis.
For centuries silver has been the money Of
India, and for generations and perhaps GEN.
turtles. millions upon millions of this metal
have been absorbed annually and horded by
the HindOOs, who regard silver coin and
jewelry as the most precious form of wealth.
The enormous decline in the value OF silver
during the past five years, the closing OF the
Indian minis TO free coinage and the con-
sequent shrinkage in values in all property
have led to dissatisfaction and hardShlpS,
always and inevitably incident the world
over whenever radical monetary changes
occur.
The loss of Khyber Pass itself causes serious
industrial inconvenience. BY this defle the
wool that comes from Afghanistan to supply
Indian mills is transported, and all the COM
merce to the north amounting to millions
wear. is carried ON by camel trains. Not only
is there q loss of trade, but the mills need
the wool
All these unfavOrable circumstances have
conduced to add to the cares of the British
Government. and to well-nigh produce panic
of apprehension about the future.
Such is the situation which is liable any
day to eliminate in a Tremendous conflict IN
which the very possession of India itself by
Great Britain and the domination OF RuSsia
in Asia Will be the stake for which the mill
tary giants will struggle.

A great deal has been published recently
concerning an uprising upon the frontier be-
tween northwestern India and Afghanistan,
and inasmuch as the end of this matter does
not seem to have been reached, we print n
map of the region, which it will be well for
our readers to preserve, to assist correct
comprehension of future events. The bound
airy between the British possessions in India
and the Afghans is marked by the loitiest
mountain chain in the world, cut at intervals
by very difficult passes, through which COM
munication is possible only over mere caravan
trails The most important of these passes
are the Khyber, which leads to kubul from
the east and the Bolan Pass leading up into
Afghanistan by Kandahar and Quetta.
The recent disturbance on the frontier has
occurred in the hills about Khyber and Kohat
Passes, where there has been an uprising of
a warlike tribe of hillsmen called the Afridis.

THE comrades have to mourn the loss
of one of the best Of women and one of
the best Of friends. d Mrs. E. Florence
Barker, who has just followed her gal
liant husband to the hither shore, was
alike admirable for her qualities of brain,
heart, and soul. She had quite unusual
mental powers, she had all the sweetness
and grace of the highest type of woman
hood, and she was warmly devoted to
the veterans and their kin. The W.R.C.
is glorious monument to her, for no
woman in the country did more to de-
velop it and start it fairly and we'll
upon its grand work than Mrs. +.
Florence Barker. Her death is per-
sonal loss to every veteran in the
country.

THE SONS OF VETERANS.

HE Suns oE EIEhSNS.
The National Encampment of the
Sons of Veterans, which was held last
week at Indianapolis, was the largest
one in the history of the Order, and in
many respects the most satisfactory. 1t
is unfortunate that it could not have
had the whole Nation for spectators at
its proceedings, for If won the unstinted
praise and confidence of all those who
actually came in contact with the men,
bers, and felt the spirit which actuated
them. The Encampment was made up
of an exceptionally fine body of earn
est, able men, substantially all OF
whom have already won success IN
other walks of life, and who met
together to consider how to advance the
interests of their Order, and to give it
the greatest strength and the best IN
fuence upon the destinies of the country.
They are men who have had loyalty to
the Government and zeal for the highest
advancement of our institutions instllled
into them as the supreme duty OF man.
hood. 1t is something that passes be-
yond the domain of sentiment, if there
can be such thing, for it has become
law of their being, just as it became with
their fathers. They are earnest, every
day men, who consider practical, feasible
methods for what they desire to see ac-
compiished.
The Grand Army of the Republic has
more reason than anybody else to rejoice
over this. They can feel a just pride IN
the sons of their loins They can con-
graduate themselves that such splendid
men sprang from them, and rise up to
do them honor. They can feel an IN
tense patriotic satisfaction that the work
they have thus far carried on Is being
taken UP, as their hands relax, by men
in every way worthy Of the duty, and
who will perform it with no less unself-
ish zeal.
There was a general feeling in the
Encampment that the skies are rapidly
Frightening for the Order From nearly
every Division came reports Of most
encouraging gains. The good, patient,
untiring work which has been done for
years is beginning to bear fruit. The
Order has demonstrated Its right to live,
it has showed that it has the right OBJ
jects and purposes, and the right kind
of men in it to carry out those pur-
poses. This is everything with an
| Order, as it is with an individual, a
corporation or an institution. Before
be or they can achieve success they
must earn success
We are now sanguine that the Son;
of Veterans has now started upon {
healthy, well-ordered growth toward {
membership Of 100000, and we fee
that it should be the pleasure as vel
as the duty Of every comrade to do al
that he can to help it along.
No Order can have better infiuenc'
upon the well-being of the country thai
the Sons Of Veterans and
lie can haze no better friends u,al
! o5f5 01rJi sons.

WHY should the Pension Bureau be
more exacting as to evidence than is a
court of law? No court stops to inquire
whether the witness was an officer or
not. 1t accepts him as man and an
American citizen who intends to tell the
truth and will tell it. 1t takes great
deal to make court presume that a
man is not telling the truth as to any
matter upon which he is testifying.
