WHEPPLE MUST BE SAVED.

The fate of Whipple Barracks now the post have done their utmost to bring about it's abandonment ignor- ing facts in the excess of their zeal to have the troops withdrawn. It is now time for the friends of Whipple to put in some strong strokes in rebuttal of the statements that have been made in Washington which are expected to Influence the secretary of war. Sec retary Alger is a fair man, and we shall be surprised if in the face of the evidence that the retention of Whipple is necessary to the commer- cial interests of northern ard central Arizona, he shall sign an order de- priving vast and growing section of the moral force exerted by the gar rison at Whipple. In another column we print copies of telegrams dis patched yesterday by Governor Mc- Cord to the president and others pro- testing against the abandonment of the post. The governor knows the value of Whipple to northern Arizona and will do his utmost to have the troops continued there It is high time for AriZonans who do not endorse the views of General Miles, and who possess any influence at Washington, to do their share toward convincing Secretary Alger that the abandonment of Whipple would work great injury to this territory. Here is an oppor- tunity for Mark Smith to distinguish himself Up to the present moment we have not heard of a single word spoken by him in opposition to the plan to shut up the barracks.

THE CASE OF CUBA.

A question of pre- eminent public importance at present is, "How much longer can Spain afford to hold on to Cuba?" Gem Blanco's report to ths home government shows that of 192.- OOO soldiers of the regular army sent to Gen. Weyler, only 5000 now re- main fit for duty. In the hospitals are to be found 10000, thus leaving 63,0O0 who have perished of wounds or disease. When we remember that this appalling loss of life has been suffered by an army which has never fought "a pitched battle worthy of the name. in a struggle with an enemy who probably never mustered more than 10000 mem in any one place, we get am idea of the stupendous task which confronted Spain in the sup pression of the Cuban rebellion.
 It is reasonable to assume that Spain as bankrupt nation must give up the ghost if the Cuban insurgents manage to hold out against her much longer. All Spain seems to have left is its retrospect of glaring errors in generalship and hideous misdeeds of the inefficient generals she has sent to Cuba to conduct her cause. Murder and rapine have been rampant on the part of the bloodthirsty Spanish com manders. The usages of war have been thrown to the four points of the com pass. Notwithstanding all this, the patriotic insurgent bands, meeting with adverse circumstances, and sur rounded by conditions of the most unfavorable import, have withstood the sanguinary, but intellectual at tempts of onei of the worlds foremost military powers to crush to earth their sentiment of patriotism and their love of freedom. It; is marvellous that Spain has hung on so long and that she has not found out, as Great Brit ain did, that it is cheaper to let the rebellious colony go If any depen- demcy ever earned it's freedom, Cuba has.

THE EASTERN SUBTERFUGE

The most thoroughly warned country
upon the face of the earth today is the
little kingdom of Greece. Very much as
six elderly spinster aunts might be sup
posed to shake their prophetic fingers
in unison at their urchin nephew
caught in the act of confiscating
the family preserves, so stand in
majectic awfulness the powers, other
wise England, Russia, France, Italy,
Germany and Austria and look unut-
terable things at the Greek urchin who
has dared to reach out for share OF
their prospective lunch. The young in
corrigible has had a warning" either
from the assembled admlrals or by the
collective note" or by "demonstra-
tion," about twice a week during the
past two months, and still he holds
his ground with a steady defiance wor-
thy of his Hellenic lineage. One circum-
stance that is of great interest to the
humane sentiment, wherever this is
found, is the fact that the attitude of
Greece has done more, and is still doing
more, to stay the assassin hand of the
Turk than was done by all the buster
of all the disciplinary powers before
King George had determined to stop the
butchery. The solicitude of the powers
about a war that is to involve the whole
of Europe unless the revolution upon
the island of Gambia is settled upon spe-
cific lines, seems strangely absurd. The
revolutionary party has stated very
clearly the terms upon which peace may
be restored, and these terms affect no
one except the inhabitants of the island
and the sultan, and the latter will ac-
cept any terms that his friends, the
powers, may negotiate in his behalf.
The question, therefore, resolves itself
into one of the peaceable division of
common spoil. If Russia is to have
Constantinople, England must control
the forts of the Dardanelles. France
and Austria will have to be conciliated.
Germany has no interest in the question
that endangers peace, and Italy is not
dangerous. If the conciliation of few

1862 the Turkish garrison evacuated Bel
grade, and in 1878 Servia became an in
dependent kingdom. Bulgaria is vjr-
tually independent under Prince Ferdi-

the absorption of Eastern Roumelia in

by Russia in 1878. England seized Cy-

MIA and Herzegovina, two essentially

roads has reported that in its opinion
any acquisition of the roads by the

and that foreclosure of the government
lien can be expected to result only in
loss of large part of the debts due to

of a special commission to adjust the
whole matter so far as 1t concerns the

The committee also arrives at the sapient
conclusion that the roads themselves
are inadequate security for the liens
upon them, which amount to 100000 a
