cal difficulties Of annexation that
leap to every ones mind. But the
objections to annexation per Sc,
strong as they are, weigh little com
pared with those to the policy OF
which annexation is but the first
step. In the first place, it will give
new FLIP to our already excessive
and alarming national extravaganza
and overweening arrogance and ag-
gressiveness. Eager Congressman,
with the usual contractors behind
them, are already exulting over Ha-
wall as splendid place to spend
money. There are habors to be i'm
proved and fortified, and channels
to be dredged, and railroads to be
built, and cables to be laid, and
coaliug stations to be provided. All
this means more ships and moro
bumptiousness. One little group
OF islands may do very well for
while, but soon others will have to
be exploited, aud we shall enter up
on a glorious course Of "land- grab
bing." Cuba will come in, OF course,
and San Domingo and Hayti and
st. Thomas; nor will the mainland
OF Central and South America long
escape our covetous eyes. There
may still be United States, but it
will not be the United States we
now know.
People talk about the grand civil
izing and protecting mission of the
United States. We are not to shrink
selishly and timidly within our own
borders, but are to go forth, as a
state-errant, to redress the wrongs
of other countries, to rescue the OPP
pressed, and, incidentally, to take
their land. That is what is called
the treason of state" which has to
override the ordinary reasons. But
reason of state is a Machiavellian
phrase which, as John Morley said
in his recent lecture on the author
OF "The Prince" is translated in
practice into reason of party, and
that into reason of plumber. That
is the great difficulty with this
theory Of our international mission.
This mission is a grandiose concep-
tiop, but there is nothing grandose
about the missionaries who are to
execute it. What they have in their
minds is remorseless trampling
upon native rights, opportunities
for personal enrichment, readiness
to pick quarrel with every nation
that is in their way, and an era OF
general national extravaganza an
waste and oppressive taxation. That,
in plain terms, is what the beuevo-
lent mission OF the United States
will come to in execution-its ten
der mercies proving eruel-and that
is the end to which the Hawaiian
beginning will surely conduct us
N. Y. Nation.

the party who blew up the train near
Havana few days ago. This act so
enraged General Weyler that he issued
an order for the ladies to leave Cuba
or be punished for the crime of their
brother against the government.
They had with them General Weyler's
order of expulsion. They would not
make known their destination, but
express great satisfaction at being

The island of Porto Rico is natur
ally of extreme fertility, and there
are great expectations of sugar, to-
bacco and various products to Europe
and the United States. AS long as
the island remains tranquil, ,and there
seems 10 be at present no reason to
apprehend the contrary, an agricul-
tural paralysis and devastation such
as that prevailing in Cuba is not pos
slble. At the same time there can be
no doubt that the Cuban war is seri-
ously affecting local commerce.
Throughout the island, particularly
inrthe neighorhood Of Mayaguez, a
great center of the coffee industry,
there haye been several recent failures.
The Porto Rico coffee crop of 1894 95
was abundant, of admirable quality,
and fetched good price. The present
crop is not expected to yield more than
one-half the quantity and value of it's
predecessors.
The currency in Cuba has brought
difficulties, traffic is irregular, the mar
ket at best uncertain, ,and as affairs at
present stand it may be said with
truth that no Porto Rican merchant
cares.if he can help tito risk a Cuban

All the Influences that his wealth
could set in motion were brought into
play tn save the murderer. Soon
after incarceration he began to play
the insanity dodge and has kept it up
steadily ever since. The records
showing the delays in the trial
are interesting, as they show
how rich mans trial can be
delayed compared with the rapidlty
with which poor man is railroaded

mitted, the supreme court decided he

Slipped Away.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. 6.-Although in
structions were sent to the officials Sc
Veral days ago, directing them to libel
the Three Friends as a pirate no, SER
vice, SO far as known here, has yet been
secured. The failure to carry out the
instructions of the departments of jus
tice in this matter is the subject Of
comment among the officials, and it is
not unlikely that it may result in an
investigation.
The evidence in the case appears to
be that several days ago the collector
at Jacksonville reported that the cap
tain of the Three Friends had asked
permission to go ON four days'wreck-
Ing cruise, and the collector asked for
instructions. The treasury officials
replied that the request might be
granted, provided the vessel carried an
ottd1cer OF the reYenue-cutter service,
and subscribed to an oath that they
would not violate the neutrality laws
in any way.
Subsequently, the collector again
telegraphed that he had been directed
by the United States attorney to hold
the vessel until she could be libeled as
a pirate, and asking if he should do as
directed. instructions were sent him
to do as asked by the United States
attorney. The collector, however, per-
mitted her TO leave port under the
authority OF the first telegram. No
satisfactory explanation of this has
yet been received. The wrecking alb
sence period granted the Three
Friends sexpired, but snothing

Fire Into Weyler's Camp.

HAVANA, Feb, 6.-Advices form
Villa Clara, capital of the province OF
Santa Clara, today, said that General
Weyler on his arrival there yesterday,
was received by the authorities and
crowds of people. The captain-gen.
eral reviewed the garrison. The SOL
diers acclaimed him with enthusiasm,
and it is stated the Spanish COM
mander's presence at Villa Clara has
raised the public spirit considerably.
Since the captain-general entered
the province Of Santa Clara the col
umn Of troops under his command
has had several skirmishes with the
insurgents, and from Cruces to Villa
Clara, the number Of these engage
ments increased. One band of the
enemy approached near enough to the
column at Rio Sage to fire into the
captain-generaPs camp, The insur-
gents were dispersed by squadron of
the Payia regiment.
General Gasco, in command of the
advance, dispersed another group of
insurgents at Quemado Hilario, near
the river Sagua.
The troops composing the garrison
at Tanamo, province of Santiago de
Cuba, have been engaged with the IN
surgents at Dolorita. They captured
an insurgent camp, and continuing
the pursuit, engaged the enemy sew
eral times. The government force
had five men killed and 81 wounded.
Later, the same forces, acting with
the gunboat Pinzion, at Braderas,
where the column was reinforced by a
detachment of marines landed for the
purpose, completely dispersed the in
surgents in the vicinity. The enemy
lost over 60 men. On the government
side, Lieutenant of marines. Roberto
Lopez, ,and two soldiers were wounded,
and in addition one man was killed.

Independence.


New YORK, Feb. 6.-The Herald
says: Thomas Estrada Palma, Cuban
delegate to the United States, in an
interview, said the royal decree propOs-
ing the promised reforms in Cuba was
trap for the Cubans and a confession
of the weakness of the Spanish cause.
He reiterated his emphatic statement
that the Cubans would accept inde-
pendence only. Rather than to allow
Spain any voice in the government of
Cuba, he said the Cubans would suffer
death and the devastation of their
island.
"The reforms which 1 understand
have been signed by the queen regent
of SPAIN" Mr.. Palma declared
amount to nothing" They are prac-
tically the same that were voted be-
fore the war broke out. If the Cubans
did not then accept them and rose in
arms, can they be expected to accept
them now, after so much bloodshed
and after so many have fallen for the
absolute independence of their coun-
try?
The only solution possible of the
Cuban problem and the only one
which Cubans in arms would accept
is their independence.
If Spain were confident Of ultimate
success, do you suppose those so-called
would be offered to us Z?
They would not even offer us bread 8. :"
These expressions are made with
the approval of the other members of
the junta. Most of them were more
bitter in denunciation of the pro-
posed reforms than M. Palma had
been.
"There is no autonomy in this
scheme" said one of them. eff real
autonomy such as Canada has from
Great Britain, had been offered us
before the war, it would have been
accepted. Do you think it would be
fair or just to those who have fought |
and fallen for our independence for us
10 outrage their memories by accept
ing such terms as these ? 1t would |
be virtual surrender when we are
that our cause has been won.
"After the ten-years war, Spain
the Arbazuzu treaty which |
vas founded on practically the same
ines as the present scheme and which
We spurned on the same ground as we
ihall reject these reforms. Some OF
,hese terms, such as the erection Of a |
ocal assembly, whose members would |
,e elected by popular vote, sound |
yery well, but let them once be put in
operation and it would quickly be
cen how much Of vote we would |
lave in the administration of our
ountry."

has been seen or heard Of her. II ia
thought probable, however that she
will return as agreed, but if not, 1t is
believed the collector will be called
upon to explain his conduct. As soon
as the vessel returns. whether now or
later, she will be preceded against as
a pirate, and the trial pushed to
speedy termination.
