The Philadelphia Times properly puts
the attitude of spalnltoward this coun-
try. with reference to the phase of the
Cuban question In which Spain takes
this government to task for not proper
~ enforcing international laws against
hllbusterlng, when 1t calls attention to
the fact that with two thousand miles
Of coast, and hundreds Of tributaries
through which munitions or war may be
taken, 1t has been simply an impossi-
blltty for this government to prevent the
shipment of arms and munitions OF war
Spain, says the Times, has been no more
successful In protecting her own Cuban
coast than we have been In haldng law
less commerce. "of all Of the many ves-
sells during the last two years to deliver
munitions Of war the Spanish navy has
not captured two or three at the most,
and II Spain can't protect her own Gu
ban coast against such commerce. how
can she expect US, with our immense
ocean and gulf coast, to halt the sailing
vessels which violate the neutrality
laws?"
It Is recalled that Spain was one of the
first foreign powers 10 recognize the IN
surgents as belligerents during our late
civil war, and that act gave to the con-
federacy the right to ship whatever 1t
pleased from any Spanish port TO any
southern port; notwithstanding this, the
United States protected her coast. 1t
comes, therefore, with bad grace from
spIan when she complains that the Unit
ed States Is not doing something which Is
next to impossible, when she herself Is
incompetent to prevent It at her end Of
the line. The Times says;
If Spain can't protect the coast Of Cuba,
how can she expect us to protect her
against secret expeditions from our two
thousand miles OF coast? The whole army
and navy OF the United States couldn't
prevent the departure of vessels laden with
arms and munitions OF war from the
United States, and the whole army and
navy OF Spain couldn't prevent them from
landing. II Is simply child's play for Spain
70 blame her misfortune upon the United
States.
The Cuban war must end In the very
near future, and II Spain doesn't realize
II and act upon 1t, the United States must
We could In day give the insurgents bell
llgerent rights, and much more fully war;
ranted than bellgerent rights were to the
confederates when Spain thus recognized
them; and with belligerent rights vessels
could sail from any port OF this country
with arms and munitions for the Cuban
army in open day.
The attitude of Spain is one of bluster
toward the United States, and II persist
ed in can end in but one thing, which is
the granting of belligerent rights TO the
Cuban insurgents This government
his been giving her every opportunity 70
redeem her promises and professions,
and now, when the sentiment here has
become more conservative on account Of
the cessation of the brutal policy pur-
sued by the Spanish administration,
that country all at once assumes an ar
rogant and clustering tone In regard to
filibustering; and that, too. upon the
most unreasonable grounds; In the Ian
guage Of the Times, "her buster Is but
the feeble bluster of whipped bully"

Governor Bob Taylor, of Tennessee,
has been obliged to deliver speeches Of
welcome to the many delegations from
other states visiting the centennial expo
sItion at Nashville, and has nobly per-
formed his duty in almost every In
stance. AS there have been u large num-
Der of such occasions, Of course Gov
ernor Bob's genius for framing eloquent
figures of speech has been taxed to It's
fullest practice, hut practice makes per-
feet and after an entire summer OF prac-
tce he is able to astonlsh a delegation
from distant state with the following:
have gathered Welcomes from million
hpnrtB in Tennessee, and have pressed
them into n pcrfumcd bombahell Of smiles
and kisses light the fuse ana toss II
from my lips; II oXplOdcs about this beau
tiful audience and sCuttGrB In the dir a
million sweet forget-mC-nOts. and they
come floating down and fall into the hearts
Of all who love their homes and their coun-
try.
1t Is fortunate for Governor Bob that
the exposition isn't going to continue
all winter. The strain OF this sort Of
thing might prove too much for him.

The resistance to the introduction OF
labor-saving machinery, and to the Sc
curement of It's highest efficiency and
output when introduced, Mr.. Maxim
shows, will be fatal TO England's main
tenance OF successful competition with
the farther-seeling, more keenly pro-
gresslve policy OF the mechanical indus
tries In America and on the continent,
He contends that the highest production
at the lowest cost means fuller work,
more men employed and better condi-
lions for the workers, and proves from
England's own Industrial history the
folly of nursing" work, and the fallacy
OF supposing that adherence to print
tive methods and hampering Of i'm
provements can lead to anything but
ruin OF the trade and degradation of the
laborers,

OF publishing 80 important an article as

recognized as the man best qualified 10
throw conclusive light upon It. AS
American minister to Spain, charged
with the conduct of the diplomatic nego-
tiations arising out OF the Cuban war,
Mr.. Taylor was obliged to possess him

government, the temper OF the Spanish

his article In the hope that his testI-
mony may aid his countrymen In taxi

Of the United States to bring the savage
strife now raging In Cuba to speedy
conclusion.

YORKTOWN MANUSCRIPTS.

Papers Relate to the Siege and Sur
render of the Town.
Curiously enough, after 115 years, a
collection of manuscripts relating to
the siege of Yorktown has recently
turned up in Paris. These comprise q
contemporary copy Of Count de Ro-
ohambeau' S own diary from the time the
French armies left the Hudson, the 10Th
OF August, to the surrender of York
town, on the 10Th of October, 1881. Ac-
companying this, written by a different
hand, but inclosed in the same cover,
is a diary of the siege by one of the en-
g1neer officers and a most beautifully
executed manuscript map in oolnrs of
Yorktown and vicinity.
The siege and surrender of Yorktown
were one of the most important events
in the history of America. Many &C.
counts by different eyewitnesses are ex-
tant, manuscript and printed, perhaps
the most valuable of all being the diary
of George Washington, the original
manuscript of which is at the state de-
partment at Washington. After Wash
ington, perhaps the most Trustworthy
account would be that of Count de
Rochambeau. 1t is known that he was
very careful to keep copies of his cor
respondence, both for himself and for the
department. Of war in France, but his
diary OF the Yorktown campaign was
published until it was included
III Donlol's great compilation of docu-
ments relating to the gaining of Amer
lean independence, published about ten
years ago, under the auspices of the
french government, and even to this day
it has never been printed, except greatly
abridged, in English. A small part of it
appeared in the Gazette de France a
few days after the news of the surrender
reached Paris, and this abridgment
was translated and published in English
in the Pennsylvania Gazette and in AL
mons Remembrancer shortly after.
The day after the surrender Rocham-
beau sent a copy Of his journal by the
hand OF the Duke de Lauzun to the
French minister of war, Segur, and a
week later duplicate dispatches were
sent in another ship, the Count de
Deux-Ponts being the bearer. These two
officers had shown the most courage in
the siege and were thus rewarded. The
existence is not known of either of these
original dispatches.
A copy of Rochambeau's journal is in
Inc French archives in Paris, and an
other, Rochambeau's own, probably, is
in the library of the department of state
in Washington, procured with the Ro-
chambeau papers bought by the United
States government from the heirs of
Count de Rochambeau. 1t may be, and,
indeed, it seems quite probable, that
this series of manuscripts which has
been recently discovered and which has
been secured by Messrs. Dodd, Mead &
Co. of New York city are the original
papers which were carried over by
Count de Deux-Ponts. They are not,
however, in his autograph, but in that
OF some unknown person, probably a
clerk.
The map which accompanies these
two manuscripts is on a large scale and
most beautifully drawn by an expert,
no doubt n Of the French engineers,
and it seems probable that it was drawn
to accompany official dispatches to the
French government. There is no dupli-
cate Of it among the many maps in the
Rochambeau collection.-St Louis Re-

Oliphant, Mrs. Robert Gibson and Miss Eva
Truitt, of Bridgeport, and Mrs. John, Mcln-
tyre, of issahickon. Pa. II
An exciting runaway took place here just
after noon on Thursday. The horse OF Mrs.
William Hunt, of Pedricktown, started
from The residence of VIM. Hancock, where
it was frightened by the barking of a dog,
and running against a gat e-post, threw Mrs.
Hunt and a colored lad violently to the
ground. 1t there parted from the wagon,
and with the thills and swingletree still
attached, started for Main street, which it
crossed. and then dashed down the side
walk, never leaving it until it reached the
new bridge over Raccoon creek. 1t was
finally caught at the toll-gate, considerably
the worse for its wild run, having been
badly cut on the leg. Mrs. Hunt was con-
iderably hurt and the colored lad badly
frightened. Several persons narrowly es-
capped being run over.
Russell james, who disappeared from his
home here on Sunday, relieved the anxiety
of his family and friends by returning on
Thursday morning, having been on a visit
to Bridgeport.
