Mr.. Everett T. Wheeler. Of New York,
thinks that there is a lack Of patriotism
among the people OF theUnited States;
that they are "pigeon-livered and lack
gall" as Hamlet puts it, We have got
ten tired of war. he says. and the Ameri-
can heart is somewhat Indifferent to the
treatment OF the American citizen abroad.
We do not think that Mr.. Wheeler has
the right 10 make this assertion. If any
American citizen has beel wrongfully
treated abroad and the Government las
not taken his part, we do not know when
nor where II was. We under't.e TO FAY
that whenever an insult s offe:ad to the
flag Of this country. or whenever an
American citizen is impro)s'iy treated by
q foreign power and Teparation is not
made upon demand # this Government
the people of the United states Will be as
ready as any people on earth TO shoulder
arms. if need be. and defend their coun-
try's flag or avenge their Injured coun-
tryman. as the case may be.
We suspect that Mr.. Wheeler Is one of
those who believe that it is the duty of
this Government TO champion the cause
of the unfortunate wherever they fG re-
eardless OF our rights TO interfere. and
to go out Of our way TO pick lua"roi
with foreign nations about matters with
which we have no business. The Amerl-
can people as nation are level-headed
and businoss-like. and they do not pro
pose to involve themselves unnecessarily
in a fuss with other nations. But they
are not ''pigeon-livered," and they do not
lack gall" and they are as prompt as
any other nation TO defend their country

Alleged Compact Agreed to

STATEMENT OF COUNT DE PENALo
American Interference in Cuba
Will Not Be Permitted.

st. Louis, Sept. 13.-Comte Henry
de Penalo, who has been visiting
friends in ST. Louis for few days, said
that the rumor of an understanding be-
tween Spain and other European coun-
tries, looking to check upon American
interference with Cuba, was confirmed
by information which came to him
from high authority. De Penalo has
been introduced in St. Louis as mem
Der of an old Spanish family whose
sympathies are with the Carlist party,
but whose connection with high poll
tics in Spain keeps him posted on most
of the important diplom attic move
ments. He said:
Some time last Septem Der when the
Cuban question was SO much agitated
in the United tates, even to the point
of furnishing planks to the declaration
of presidential conventions, Senior Can
ovas del Castillo, then premier of
Spain, received assurances from the
English and French governments
through their representatives in Madrid
that they would not permit any action
on the part of the United States other
tian- very perIunctory recosnleioh VI
belligerency of the insurgents.
"On August 5, before leaving Paris,l
learned from trustworthy sources that
this assurance had been renewed.
General Azcarragua, the new premier,
has received the French and English
am bassadors, who have once more as
sured Spain of the sympathy of their
governments and of their willingness
to give diplomatic help.

A BRUTAL OUTRAGE.
Pueblo Medicine Men Cruelty Torture
Aged Squaw.

Pueblo Medicine Men Cruelty Torture
Aged Squaw.
Santa Fe. N. M, Sept. 13.-Major
Nordstrom, United States agent in
charge of the Pueblo Indians, returned
this morning from Zuni Pueblo, where
he has been examining in to peculiar
case. Under the influence Of Chief
Niope, and backed by the religious or
ganization in the village known as
"the priests of the bow." the most bar
barous outrages have been committed
by these Indians from time to time.
Their last offense occurred when they
suspended by the wrists female mem
Der of the tribe, aged 78 years, and ex-
torted from her a confession to the
effect that she had bewitched the nos
trums of the medicine man, and pre-
vented them from curing an Indian of
faintness.
Major Nordstrom says the only mo-
tive for assaulting the woman was to
strengthen the hold of the medicine
men and their colleagues, the priests of
the bow, upon their superstitious fol-
lowers. The woman's life was saved
by kindly nursing, and it is the inten-
tion of the agent to arrest and punish
the ringleaders of the assault.
To this end, and in compliance with
Major Nordstrom's recommendations,
the interior department has called
upon the war department to concen-
trate four troops of United States cav
airy at Zuni on the 18th inst, with
view to aiding the civil authorities in
the arrest of Chief Niope and five of
his associates. 1t is thought that
battle will follow the invasion of the
village by troops on Wednesday next.
The Zunis number some 500, and
can muster about $50 warriors, who
are we'll armed with Winchesters.
Their village is veritable fortress,
built especially for protection against
