A Page of Blood.

The last reports from Cuba OF the assas-
sinations perpetrated by the Spaniards at
the very doors OF the city Of Havana would
arouse indignation in the hearts OF people
less prone to feelings OF humanity than we.
No darker page OF murder has been writ
ten since the times Of ALvA. In the long
record OF atrocities during the former wars
Of Spain in America no instance Of butchery
surpasses the events at Havana Compared
with the Spanish leaders Of to-day in Cuba,
who are responsible for such crimes, those
who fought against BOLIVAR appear harm
less. Compared with FoSDEvIELLA. BovEs
was good man. Compared with WEYLER,
MoRILLo was an angel.
FoYDEvIELLA. obliging the inhabitants of
the town he rules to celebrate In his honor
utter the massacres, Is only equalled by
NERO or CALIoULA. WEYLER, imprisoning z
In the dungeons OF La Cabafla petitioners, in
the name Of religion, humanity and Spain s
avn honor, against the crimes OF FoNDE-
vIELLA, exceeds all records. II IL were not
because the news is supported by so much
moral and material evidence, 1t would be
difficult to believe that human nature Is
capable Of such an extreme Of barbarism.
"What is inconceivable to these poor peo-
ple," says our correspondent in Havana,
'is that no foreign intervention comes to
save them. They all look to the United
States as a savior, and the American Con-
sulate is filed with protests and evidences
Of the massacres." Relief cannot be ex-
pected during CLEvELAND's Administration,
but, thank GOD, in a few days the man will
be out of Office who made this country an
ally Of Spain, and who deserves. oh, shame

A New Cuban Manifesto.

We print elsewhere some of the more i'm
portant passages in Manifesto to the
American People" which bears the sigma
lures OF twenty of the Cubans who are striv-
ing to win liberty for their country. One
part of this manifesto describes the baleful
rule Of Spain in Cuba, and the other con-
tains a summary account of the huge debt
which Spain has imposed upon the Cuban
people. We are told OF the spoliation Of
Cuba by Spain for generations, and Of the
means taken to suppress every complaint on
the part OF the Cubans. The statement is
made that since the beginning OF this CEN
tury, "the scaffold has stood permanently
In Cuba for the punishment Of offences of a
political character" and it would have been
easy for Senor VARoNA to prove this state
ment from the Spanish Cuban official rec
ords kept in the palace at Havana.
The Cubans were first influenced toward
freedom seventy or eighty years ago by the
general uprising against Spanish op-
preston In America which began when
BOLIVAR raised the standard of revolt in
Venezuela, and It was about this time
that tbS scaffold for liberty was erected
st Havana. For twenty years afterward

In large numbers. The.boat Is a very old one,

that the boat was run up into this region about
1000 when much larger proportion Of the

The wars for liberation that were waged
by spain's colonies in South America lasted for
many years; yet the liberating forces were never
discouraged. It was In the year 1910 that SIMON
BOLIVAR first assailed Spain in Venezuela, and
II was not until the year 1920 that the last body
OF Spanish troops In South America struck their
colors. Spain fought like q savage for sixteen
years, but she was everywhere folled at last.
