remedy the evils complained of and TO
restore public order. 1t was due to the
great nations of Europe that we dem
onstrate our good faith to all friendly
powers and especially that we had no
disposition to grab Cuba, however
tempting the prize. 1t was important
to teach the Cubans that they must be
self-helpful and themselves do the he
roic work which they had undertaken,
and must not look to another to do 1t
for them. 1t is a marked trait OF Gu
ban character that he will never per-
form any task in person which he can
procure done by another. The Cuban
people have been developed by the nom
interference of the United States and

in commencing the wisdom of Mr..
Cleveland under the circumstances as
they then existed.
But the time is near at hand when
a larger duty will fall upon the United
States. Spain has now had over two
years for reflection since this last re-
bellion in Cuba broke out. She has
been appealed to by the United States
and other great powers to cure the
manifest ills Of Cuba and win back
peace and feality. But what has she
done? Simply made war; ruthless
war. Has she suppressed the rebellion?

she has not pacified any section of the
island. She has merely beaten the air.

section into another and killing many

have taken great pains to ascertain the
facts and 1 repeat that by fighting
nothing has been accomplished. Has
Spain lightened the burden of taxa
tion? No, she has increased it by 33
per cent. Has she made provision for
the unemployed? No, she has caused
every Cuban who had any kind of en-
ployment, clerical or other, to be dis
missed, and today there is a prescribed
and suffering class in every commun-
ity.
Has Spain taken measures to main
tain necessary manufactures? No.
She has assessed the manufacturers
with new taxes, and quartered soldiers
upon them, which they are obliged to
feed. She is designedly making Cuba in
tolerable for Cubans. There is no mag
nanimity, no reparation, no cleansing
of the service, no honest reform. Cen
eral Weyler on one occasion remarked: !:
Pending armed resistance, Spain can
not discuss reforms" So it is to be
| war, unrelenting war, until the Gu
bans abandon Cuba or until Spain be-
comes exhausted. Spain thus proves
that she is unequal to the great crisis.

was and is a necessity, and, being a

made much further east, at Ghunib,
in Daghestan, where Prince Baria-
tinski took him prisoner, and put an
end to his wild dream of an indepen-
dent Mahometan state in the eau
casus.
If the passage of the mountains
was like a battle in the intensity of its
excitement, the rival at Vladikavkaz
was like the repose which follows after
a victory won. With it's forty odd
thousand people, Vladikavkaz is not
exactly Russian nor a Caucasian
town, but has qualities of both, and
is rather Ike a holiday that comes be-
tween days of toll and agitation. The
site is level not even hills are Wis
| ible, except at distance, and the two
or three long and quiet streets, stretch
ing at right angels to each other, sug-
gest repose and rest. Yet am bound
to say that the shops are peculiarly
attractive from the number of Oriental
and Causasian articles that are offered
in them. There is no such extreme
variety as ut Tiflis, but with patience
and perseverance you may pick up lit
tie things that you have not been able
to procure in the metropolis; and fin
train for Rostov-on the Don you are
freshened with the consciousness of an
enterprise rounded out successfully
and completed to your satisfaction.
One of the best views of the great
Caucasian chain is that gained from
the railway to Rostov; and while the
snowy SUBMITS of Elbruz form it's most
conspicuous feature, the slong line OF
lofty and broken peaks and of mas
sive forest-covered' slopes remains in
the memory as one of the grandest OBJ
COSSACK VILLAGES.
But a subject of much greater in
terest is the succession of Cossack viii
lagos planted along the line of the
province, at pretty regular intervals.
According to the latest official figures,
there are about 100000 of these people
along the Don, and very interesting
people l found them to be. Known to
the outside world chiefly as cavalry
soldiers, those who have had an oppor-
tunity of seeing them at home or have
read what has been written about
them, and, above all, that wonderful
Cossack novel of GogoPs, "Taras Boul-
ba," or Tolstois "Cossacks," under
stand that they are not without some
of the most lasting and admirable
traits of human nature. AS we saw
them in the country of the Don, agric-
ulture is their main occupation, and
no one would imagine that they were
warriors also. The country Is what
an Illinois man would describe as roll
ing, with ridges of no great elevation
here and there, but mainly level. The
soil seemed black and rich, but when
we passed over it the spring crops had
scarcely been planted. The herds of
cattle were large, and each herd had
two or three men and dogs to keep it
from wandering too far. There ap-
peared to be no fences to mark the
boundaries of the estates. The houses
were small, and every village had its
church. The general aspect of the land
and people was peaceful. and it looked
as If any form of political or intellec-
tual agitation was out of the question
there.

Notes of a Summer JOmrmeY
From New York to Warsaw
Continuation of the Travel Letters of Hon.
Chas. A. Dana i'm the Sun.

As we drove out of the posthouse
yard at Meta, disturbing one or two
lazy and dishevelled camels that were
loafiing about the stable doors, we per-
ceived that at last we had before us
some real mountain climbing. Cross
ing the south-fowing Aragva on a
stone bridge, we began the long ascent
up the hill which stands opposite to
Meta. The road was precisely of the
same breadth and style as we had trav-
elled the day before, but 1t wound
backward and forward up the hillside
in long reaches, with a continuous rise
that put rapid driving out of the ques-
ton- The spectacle. however, was alto
gether superb, and we were glad to
study 1t slowly. Below us lay the viii
lage we had just left. Behind 1t rose
another mountain of more moderate
dimensions than that we were ascend

against an enemy. A little further on,
at the other end of the same enlarge
ment, there was another fort of sim
liar construction. Some one said that
these forts were built by Schamyl in
his struggle to maintain the indepen
dence of the Mohammedan tribe, and
to continue his war against the pow
er of Russia. We gazed at the forti-
fications with renewed interest; but
believe the story was altogether a fic-
ton, and on looking in the books I am
confirmed In this conclusion. Very like
ly Schamyl may have made a. stand
in the Darial Pass, at some period, but
he could not have remained there for
any length Of time. That vital ar
terry has long been too important for
Russia to allow such an enemy to hold
1t even for a day; and, besides, the
last desperate effort of Schamyl was

tuate her. Capable Of supporting n
population greater than that Of the
state of New York, baving fields of
unequaled fertility; mineral lands of
inexhaustible wealth; virgin forests of
rarest woods; harbors on either shore;
lying geographically in the path of
commerce between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans; producing the crops of
every season in choicest quality, what
may not Cuba contribute to the wealth
of the world and the happiness of man
kind when war shall have ceased and
self-government shall have come to
stay?
America has exhausted every kind
ly office to influence the government Of
Spain. Are we assured pacification in
Cuba? What are the facts? The fields
are quiet, but the hedges whisper, and
the darkness strikes. There is no pa
cification, and God forbid that there
should be, since in Cuba "pacification''
and "desolation' are synonymous. 1t
is for the human race / plead. Surely
America has some better cheer than
to speak the ravens "nevermore."
1t is a great wrong to mankind to
permit this work of annihilation to
go on, within 80 miles of our shores. 1t
is American soil that is being desecrat-
ed Shall monetary cowardice stand
between? Have we become too sordid
to champion the rights of humanity ?
Spain has published through her press
that the United States is a nation of
traders and will do nothing that may
tend to disturb the money market. Is
it jingoism to rescue women and chill
dren, to stop massacre, to restore
peace, and welcome a new nation
founded upon civil and religious liber-
ty? Applying the facts as they actual
ly exist in Cuba to the law governing
like cases, the insurgents are entitled
as a matter of right, to recognition as
a belligerent power.

for an Anglo-Saxon mind to fairly COM

must be considered, their Latin blood
their habits. the climate of the coun-
try, the inroads which necessity for de-
ceit has made, the passions which
unavoidable resentments have culti-
waited and the indisposition to
be self-helped and consequently
self-dependent. All these must be an
alyzed and weighed. There cannot be
a doubt of the Cuban's love of country,
but whether 1t will prove to be of that
higher sort that lifts the man above
himself and above all that stands in
the way of his country's good, remains
to be learned. Government is said to
