THE NEW CUBAN SITUATION

For the first time say the New \ ork
Journal since the revolution in Cuba
began the executive department of the
American Government has performed
an act that gives encouragement to
the patriots. Even i'm this case the en-
couragement is not direct. President
Mckinley has sent message to Con
gress conveying the Information that
six or eight hundred American citi-
zens are destitute inCuba, and asking
an appropriation for their relief The
President language is most carefully
guarded to avoid any expression OF
sympathy with the insurgents, or even
so much as a recognition of the fact
t. a there is any iEs erection in pro-
gress. The agricultural classes, he
tells Congress, "have been forced from
their farms into the nearest town,
where they are without WORK or money,
but who forced them there, or why. he
has not thought it necessary to ex-
plain.
But the mere fact that the tight rein
held so long by two successive Admin
istrations over the impetuous spirits
in the Capitol has at last been slacken-
ed, if ever so little, has brought the
whole Cuban question suddenly to a
head. The Senate passed the relief
appropriation requested by the Presi-
dent as promptly and unanimously as
it sustained Mr. Cleveland's Venezue-
Ian recommendations, and the resolu-
toin would have passed the House on
the ,me day but for Mr.. Bailey's de-
sire to couple it with still more deci-
sive action in favor of Cuba. And no
body believes that this will be the end.
The Congressional team has the bits
between its teeth now, and it is beyond
Executive control.
The logical sequence of the action
taken Monday is intervention to end
the war. That is what we shall come
to sooner or later, and it is best to come
to it before we have incurred the re-
sponsibility for any more needless
bloodshed and misery. Recognition
of belli gerency is a half measure that
would have been appropriate two years
ago; recognition of independence is a
compliment CALAMITY earned, but Meth
er represents the full measure of our
present national duty. AS the one
great power of America, corresponding
to the six great powers of Europe, it
is our business not to repeat the imbec
lie, spineless and heartless diplomacy
that has made the European concert a
spectacle to jeer at. We can restore
peace and prosperity to Cuba, and no
less decisive action will be worthy of
Our strength and our place in the in
ternational system of this hemisphere.
If we must have the stimulus of an
immediate pecuniary interest. the Pres
ident's message has supplied it. 1t
has shown that the present condition
of Cuba has beggarcd hundreds of
American citizens and involved the
Treasury Of the United States in heavy
expences for their support. That, in
addition to the ruin of the most impor-
tant elements of our foreign trade.
ought sufficiently to reinforce the de-
mands of honor, humanity and national
tradition.

The Anti Race Track Convention rec
emily held in Elkton appointed COM
| mittee on public safety, which at a meet
ing on May the 14th adopted the follow
ing preamble and resolutions.
Whereas, the laws of Maryland in re-
gard to poolselling, bookmaking and
other forms of race track gambling are
| such as to permit, by the multiplication
| of race tracks, racing the year around,
| thus inviting into Maryland the outlawed
form other States; and
Whereas, Cecil county is now the refuge
| of these gan b!e"s and their more object
ionable followers; and
Whereas, Their presence is corrupting
our citizens, both old and young, and is
| leading many of them to depart from their
ways of industry and thrift and to follow
these evildoers; and
Whereas, Not only the gambling habit
is growing upon our people from the
highest to the lowest ranks of society; but
also much greater evil, viz: the seduc-
ton of young girls is frightfully preva-
lent; and
Whereas, The constant use of the vilest
profanity upon our streets, and upon the
railway trains and in other public places,
is degrading the hitherto fair name of our
town and ecu Y and inflicting upon us
an intolerable curse; and
Whereas. An effort to have the last leg
islature enact law forbidding race track
gambling was defeated by the influence of
the gamblers; therefore
BE Hresoired, That we appeal to the NOR
al sense of the people of the whole state to
aid us in overlhrowing this infamous
traffic, by electing only such men to the
General Assembly of Maryland as can lie
| relied upon to enact such laws as will
effectually prevent race track gambling in
the State of Maryland; and that we call
upon the press throughout the state to
publish these resolutions and give us their
powerful aid to eiface this blot from the
fair name of Maryland.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. MARCH 20. 1897.

The coming summer months promise to
be full Of business for the people of St.
Augustine. The expenditures of S65. 900 in
city water works, the cancellation of $4,000
worth of city warrants by redeeming them
with cash, Will contribute largely toward
increasing confidence in the city's prosper
ity. 1t is also understood that large
electric plant is to be built during the
summer. The most important OF all an
nouncements is that J. A. Mcclure, Mr..
Flaglers builder has just completed plans
for the alteration of the interior of the
Hotel Cordova. All of the rooms above the
first floor Will probably be changed into
apartment quarters. Entrances will be
made on King street, and all necessary
changes will be made to convert the hotel
into a first-class apartment house. Mr..
Mcclure has also received a contract from
Gen. J. NJ. Schofeld for the erection Of
large winter home for the general near
the corner of Valencia and Cordov$ streets.
In addition to this work plans are said
to have been agreed on for half a dozen
or more cottages on Mr.. F'laglers land
opposite the Union station.
