THE END SEEMS NEAR.

The capture Of General Rivera, of the
loss to the cause of the patriots, and in
spite of all claims to the contrary, is
satisfactory evidence that the Cubans are
gradually being outnumbered and must
finally succumb The great trouble with
the leaders of the movement for indie
pendence has been their unwillingness to
admit that any one but native Cuban
could be a fit opponent of the Spaniards.
That is where they made their most
serious mistake. Had they taken the
trouble to gather in all the American re-
, cruits possible au the beginning of their
struggle, they might by this time have
had an army of 10000 men Of that ma
tionality on the island. That 200 900
Spanards could hold Cuba against such
an army, no man acquainted with the
fighting qualities of the American soldier
will admit. The Cubans, however, SEEM
ed to believe that men acclimated could
serve the cause of independence with
more satisfaction than men, who, from
ture, enlisted in their armies. These
men, when they went to Cuba. cut them
selves loose from all their former associ-
ations, and knowing the blood thirsty
character of the Spanlards, It was to
them a matter of life and death. The
Cuban junta worked along different lines
They allowed their battles to be fought
by men who were deficient in all the
stern elements of courage that character
ize the Anglo. Saxon race in every coun-
try and on every battlefield. and if they
have lost, they have only themselves and
their own prejudices and partialities to
blame. Cuba ought to be free; but it is
plain that the people there unaided can
never gain their independence. An
American army Differed by Americans,
if only so, 900, would soon turn the scale !:
but circumstances are against the pa
triots, and it looks very much rs if they
would have to finally submit on such
terms as the good will and secret in
fluence of the United States may secure
for them. All of this will not materially
affect the result in the end. 1t is written
in the book of fate not only that Cuba,
but Mexico and Central America also,
will eventually become part of this
great and glorious Union, with the same
destiny as the rest of the A merican
States.

STAY AT HOME. !,

y The departure OF party of emf
grsnts from this city to Dakota last Mon
day afternoon was a sight that no Vir-
ginian liked to witness. When the bleak
and inhospitable climate of that country
is considered, with all the privations and
sutferings before the misguided people
who vehtured into this com paratively I'M
known region are considered, it seems
more than passing strange that men
with means of purchasing ii small home
in this genial climate should decide to
make their homes in country of desoln-
tion and COLI.
Experience has shown that many
even from the northern coun-
tries of Europe, who have made
their homes in the arid and timber
less Northwest, are now looking
southwark for habitations of comfort and
lest, and yet, as in the case alluded to, Il
number of the most energetic and self
reliant people of this section have deter.
mined to cast their lot in a country of ice
and SHOWS.
vantages of Virginia and Montana and
North ans; South Dakota, and ST is worse
than wildness for any citizen of this
'grond old commonwealth to decide to
wander to that dreary land. Some men
will succeed anywhere under the most
adverse circnEi stances, and some.will fail
with everything their own way; hence it
may so.happen that some of those vino
have taken homcsteads in Dakota. after
years of toll and privation, will find their
industry and economy rewarded; but by
far the GREATER. number cannot fail to
become discouraged, and before they
have passed one winter in Il country
where the cold is cruel and penetrating
and fuel scarce aud dear. will heartily
wish themselves back again under the
bright skies and genial sunshine of dear
old Virginia.
Those of Our State officers interested in
such matters should make every effort to
to discourage such migrations rs the one
Of Monday last, and the people of the
whole State should unite in persuading
every worthy son to remain mt home.
There are millions of acres in Virgins
awaiting the results of intelligent cult

within her borders for her own people to
build themselves homes OF comfort and
enjoyment, but also for thousands of
worthy people from other lands and conn-
tries to cast their lot with them, and MD

this great and glorious commonwealth.

Funeral.
Madrid, Aug. 1S.-The funeral of Senor
Canovas del Castillo to-day was a touch
ing and solemn ceremony.
All the troops of the garrison lined the
route along which the cortege moved.
The flags were lowered and the public
buildings, embassies. consulates and clubs
were heavily draped with Grape. More
than a thousand wreaths were deposited
in the death chamber
A peculiar poignant scene ensued as the
Duke of Solomayer, Marshal Martinez
Campos, Marquis Paso del la Merrzed,
and the other pall-bearers lifted the cof-
fin. Sonora Canovas in a clear firm tone
said: Il desire that all should know 1
forgive the assassin. 1t is the greatest
sacrifice I can make; but I make it for
the sake OF what l know of my husband S
great heart"
Throughout the entire distance between
the death chamber and the church the
road was strewn with flowers and laurels.
Senor Sagasta headed the cortege, which
was formed of militia, deputies, senators,
generals admirals and delegations repre-
senting all the principal bodies. The
wreaths of the queen regent rested upon
the coffin and other floral tributes were
carried in special carriages.
All the shops in the city were closed,
and a very large proportion of the popu-
lace that thronged the streets appeared
in mourning garb. The entire garrison
marched past the coffin and the service
lasted from 4 until 7:30 p. m The re-
mains of Senor Canovas were inferred
