CUBAN METHODS AND BELLIG-
ERENCY.

1t is raised as an objection to the
cause OF the Cuban insurgents that
they do not come into the open and
fight the Spanish troops, but resort to
bushwha cking tactics, fight from be-
hind trees and rocks, and retreat into
hill fastne sses when pursued. But if
this is all admitted we fail to see how
1t affects the principle involved for
which these people are contending,
namely the right of self government.
However, it would be well for Amer
leans to read closely into our own his
tory and ascertain how often the pa
triots of our own revolution felt lit
necessary to adopt the so-called bush
whackin,5 tactics; how often they
fought from behind natural barriers
and scattered when pursued too holly
by British troops
So far es methods are concerned we
justify the Cuban cause. The insur-
gents are fully aware of the conditions
of their environment, they know what
is best for them in the method of con-
Quoting the war They understand
precisely what their strength is, and
what that of the Spanish. They know
to a dot just how far they can adj
vance as an armed body against the
well equipped. well drilled, well fed
soldiers of Spain. backed by money
and supplies in plenty, the latest and
best arms and unlimited quantities of
ammunition and stores 1t is suffi-
Gent to know that whatever their
methods, the insurgents control the
largest area of the island, that they
have regular military organization,
that they issue commissions. maintain
courts, schools and civil government,
lay and collect taxes, carry on public
works, elect and install civil officials,
have a complete postal system, and ac-
credit Ministers to foreign countries,
though it is true that none of these
have as yet been received.
But it is a fact that in the outset Of
the American revolution We had not
in the Judgment of England, much
more of governmental machinery than
has Cuba to-day, the area and situa-
ton of the two countries being consid-
cred. Assuredly, whatever their meth
DDS, so long as they are not inhuman
and unnecessarily cruel and bloody, the
insurgents of Cuba are entitled to rec
ognition as belligerents for this. if for
no other reason, and it is sufficient,
namely, the interests of humanity
Something is going on" in Cuba. We
as Government decline to recognize
it as a war. But it is conceded that
it is bloody. that it involves the sacri-
fee of human life, the Imprisonment
and the killing of women and children,
the burning of homes, the devastation
of plantations, the execution of pris-
oners and the suspension of civil au-
thority. Now recognition of these
conditions as those of war will COM
pei the two parties, Spanish and Cuban,
to carry on their contest according to
the rules of civilized warfare and to
cease the atrocities which so shame
mankind. Hence we repeat, if for no
other reason than that of humanity,
there ought to be recognition by the
United States, of the fact of the bel
ligerency of the contestants in Cuba.

1t is probably true that the dream Of
the Greeks is now, as it was early in
the century, that Turkey in Europe will
fall to them. But if they entertain any
such hope they will be disappointed.
Whatever the outcome of the present
issue, they cannot expect to secure
more than Macedonia, and probably
only part of that, and not even that
portion except as the result of a long
war. Greece should be content if she
gets Crete, and Crete by all rules of

Abandoned.
Healthy lien Will Have to Hustle
for Themselves After
May 1st.

In presenting the demand of the As
ISOLATED Charities, for the month of
March, Supervisor Morrison yesterday
remarked that the county has been
paying out a very large sum for chart
ty. He moved that after the first of
May the $50 per month handled by the
Salvation Army be discontinued.
Mr.. MorrisOn's motion was adopted.
TROUBLESOME WATER.
Supervisor Morrison reported that he,
Curtis and brennan had visited the To-
cality south of the Costumes River
where Mrs. cambridge had complained
of injury to her land by water drained
upon her land by means of road grad
ing. The committee found no serious
damage at that time but there should
be some way of carrying off the water
that flows down from the fields east of
Mrs. cambridge. He believed permits
sion could be had from Mrs. John Nc
Cauley to drain the water westward
through her land.
A communication was received from
Mr.. Bandeen, Mrs. Bainbridge's son, in
which he said his mother must have re-
lief from the water, and it if could not
be had through the Supervisors she
would appeal to the courts. He offer
cred 10 grade a mile of the road and
make a drainway if permitted by the
board to do so.
Mr.. Morrison said if Mr.. Bandeen
would do this he should be permitted
to go ahead, as that would take the
surplus water to just the place it ought
to go.
Chairman Jenkins was authorized to
empower Mr.. Bandeen to do the work
without cost to the county.
COSTUMES BOTTOM ROAD.
The committee also inquired into the
matter of a road by the Cantrell
ranch from the Costumes River to
Arno Mr. Morrison said that Mr.. Cam
trell would give the right of way for
summer road, and a trestle could be
built for a winter road, as is done be-
tween the city and the Haggin ranch
along the Twelfth street roadway. 1t
would be impossible to construct a
grade there that would make good
road summer and winter, and the cost
would be greater than for a long tres
tie
Mr.. Morrison moved that Mr.. Cantrell
be requested to appear before the board
at it's next session and inform the board
just what he will be willing to do in the
matter. So ordered
This will be welcome news to people
who have to travel over what is known
as the Hicksville grade the worst piece
of highway in the county. During the
freshets in the Costumes the water
flows over it, and it is a miserable ex-
cuse for road at any time of The year.

upon an executor or upon the exercise

testator could confer upon his executor

4 DELICIOUS Dinner AT
IDENTON.

To Editor Of the FISHERMAN
AND FARMER:-Please allow ME
space in your valuable paper in
which to express my gratitude
for the kindly reception rendered
me at Edenton, N. c. We, who
wander from place to place, and
who are deprived Of tue associa-
tons of home and friends, feel
that it is a duty devolved upon
us to fully acknowledge Our ap-
probation of welcome and kind
ness, especi lily such as we were
cordially invited to by Mr.. and
Mrs. J. D. Jewell, Of that place.
After few nements of happy
conversation we were escorted
to the dinner table where the
fine art Of cooking was fully dis T..
played by the hostess, Mrs. Jew
ell, and where the delicacies of
Edeuton and the surrounding
country were testing the strength
of the table. At FIVE o'clock we
were again interrupted by that
lady and urged to partake Of two
bushels Of baked oysters, which
were brought from the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, and the read
ers of this article can imagine
how we plunged into them.
After consuming a few of Mr..
JEWELS choicest cigars, and
what seemed to lie but a few
moments conversation, we were
again requested to partake of our
third meal; but, as an already
overloaded stomach reminded us
of that old saying-too much is
too much-I was compelled to
refuse. Altogether, it was day
Of Joy; and words cam OF express
the gratitude we feel towards
Mr.. ard Mrs. Jewell for their
kindness and hospital; May
they live long and hap >; and
may the influence Of Mrs. Jewell
over the art Of cooking be ex-
tended into many home
throughout the land.
