the usage Of every civilized country,

It Is estimated that the losses Of the

and by death at the hands Of the insur-
gents, will foot up something like SO 900,
but the actual figures will never be
known. a Partisan journal according
to the Atlanta Constitution. is the au-
thority for the statement that since
the outbreak Of the war Spain has sent
to Cuba forty generals, 564 commits
stoned officers G.1S5 non-commissioned
officers. and 1914 men, making all told

GLADSTONE AND THE JUBILEE.

If 1t Is true, as asserted that the
omitted from the list of those who are
to figure III the jubilee festivities in
London this week, the celebration will
lose much Of its interest to thousands OF
iInglishmen who honor and admire "the
Grand Old Man" because Of his distin-
guished services to their country and
because of the many great and good
qualities displayed by him as man and
as a statesman throughout n long and
distinguished career Mr.. Gladstone has
been for many years the foremost fig
ure IN Great Britain and any ATTEMPT
TO disassociate him at this late day from
any very great national event will be
as futile as 1t is reprehensible. Mr.
Gladstone appeared upon the stage Of
public life FIVE years or more before the
present Queen assumed her royal du
Ties. anu at no period since that time
down to the present day has 1t been the
case When he has not filled a large space
in the public eye and that too to the
honor Of himself and credit to his coun-
u - seems, however, that the mana
gers Of the Queens jubilee have decided
to leave him out, in the proposed cele
grafton, and to their shame, be it said
II the facts are as stated. The London
Chronicle, one Of the principle organs of

Mr.. Gladstone has never been ad-

fact he Is entitled to full share OF
consideration at the proposed Jubilee.
as the greatest Englishman Of his time
and his admirers both within and with
out the empire will view with i'll favor
any attempt to ignore mis- existence on
the occasion referred to. England owes
q great deal to William f. Gladstone
and the proposition to leave him on, OF
the jubilee festivities is a poor way TO
requite his services.
