Spain has neither the money nor the
men much longer to continue the war
in Cuba. This fact is as; Clearly un-
derstood in Cuba and in the United
States as it is that for six months
Spain has made no progress, in SUPPRESS
ing the insurgents. How long it will
be before Spain herself accepts the sit
uation and bows to the inevitable can
only be conjectured by those who have
the best means of knowing how big
fool that Madrid government is ca
pable of making of itself.

There is not e section of the entire
union in which the cultivation of sug-

than in Texas. 1t would employ the
farmers and their lands and create
demand for more farm labor and for
the erection of works for refining and
in many ways add to the productive
wealth of the state. So long as other
states offer bounty for the sugar pro-
duced within the state Limits and Tex
as offers none so long VIII the other
