COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
Views ON tho Latest De~veiopments In II,
Cretan Trouble.

LONDON, Fob. 25.-The Daily Ne,cs, while
welcoming the broad fact Of autonomy being
granted to Crete, emphasizes the necessity Of a
searching examination into the details, espo-
cially the proposal that tho Greek troops shall
be withdrawn prior to the Turkish troops.
This proposal, the paper declares, must DO TO
considered, unless the international forces are
ready TO replace tho Turkish garrisons. Apart
from this, Greece. having extorted n settlement
from the Powers, can bow to superior force
without disloyalty to the Hellenic idea.
1t is presumed that tho article In the Daily
Nens officially embodies the Liberal views.

CAUSED BIZ TROLLEY CURRENTS.
Damage 10 the Water and Gas Pipe. In BreoL-
Ign BY ELECTRICITY sis.

Fresh attention is being drawn in Brooklyn to
the danger to the water, gas. and other under.
ground pipes through electrolysis, produced
through the escape of the electric currents in the
ground from the trolley railroad wires. Both
the Brooklyn Union Gas Company and the Edi.
ison Electric Light Company have recently
been making Investigations with a view to
determine the amount OF damage to their plants
since the trolley lines went into operation, and
actions, 1t is said, may be instituted against the
railroad companies. A few days ago II was
Classon avenue where the pipe crossed beneath
tho trolley tracks at right angles, and when
taken up the pipe was seen to be eaten away for
q distance OF two feet by the electric current.
The city authorities will probably soon have the
whole matter made the subject OF an official in
yestigation.

The establishment Of a national
board Of health and such legislation
as will give them absolute control In
cases of epidemic, calling for strict
quarantine, is being intelligently con-
sldered by the health boards OF sever
al important cities. This is matter
that vitality concerns the people along
the shores of the Gulf Of Mexico.
The general opinion is that Congress
should take hold of the matter and
give the needed protection In the es-
tablishment of national quarantine.
While this Is so, close inquiry Into
all the facts bearing upon the matter
should be made by the health officers
of those cities most interested in such
quarantine. 1t is only in the light OF
all the facts. and by the aid OF past
experinece that the best conclusions
can be reached. Such cities as New
Orleans and Memphis should contrib
ute largely and instructively to the
literature of this subject. This win
| ter is the time in which such work
| should be undertaken, so that Con.
gress can act before adjournment.

ed by the minister to Turkey TO take
steps for the punishment of the MUIR
derers Of the bicyclist Lentz, who was
murdered in Turkey, the government
at Constantinople promised ready
compliance, and soon announced that
the criminals had been sentenced to
fifteen years Imprisonment each. This
is true, but the prisoners are not serv-
ing out their sentences, simply be-
cause the Turkish authorities have not
captured them. They are hiding out

demned and sentenced in their alb

can be, but it would not be every

.BLANcols THREE MISTAKES.


Blanco has alredy shown himself
mistaken three times with regard to
his own immediate business. First,
he found Cuba in state of
starvation and the United States
with open hand ready to sup
| ply their wants. He curtly in
forme them that Spain was
abundantly able to supply the wants
of her own people and no foreign
charity would be acceptable, as 1t
was beneath the dignity OF Spain to
SO allow. His boast was lie and
now after thousands have starved to
death on the provisions that Spain
did not send Blanco hauls down his
red-bull flag and admits that the
food of the United States is absolute
ly all that stands between thousands
and starvation; second, he declared
that he came with such offers OF au-
tonomy that all that was required
was their PRONUNCIATION, in order to
have all Cuba laying down her arms
and opening her mouth with loud ac-
claim In praise of Spanish clemency.
His autonomy in farce and after
the experiment is tried he fluids that
only force can make head
against the Insurgents; third, he
asserted that the reason why
Weyler had not conquered the
Insurgents was because he remained
in Havana and had not pursued them
to their camps. All the forces that
it was possible TO spare from the
defences of Havana were mustered
under General Pando, the right bower
of Blanco. and sent with flourish
of trumpets after Gomez TO annihi-
late him. Gen. PandO met the enc
NV, and is theirs. Gomez was sick.
but there are other generals in the
field besides the patriot Gomez.
Pando has found this out, for after
losing half of his command he has
returned to Santiago de Cuba with
the remnant, and the Insurgents are
in possession of the field. Now
Blanco says that it will take an army
of hundred thousands to crush the
rebellion These three times has
Blanco shown his utter ignorance of
he situation. His last prediction would
follow the way of the Others and
his hundred thousand men would not
suffice to conquer the Insurgents,
were it possible for Spain to send
such an army over. But it is not |
Torn with internal dissent at home,
face to face with patriotic army that |
is victorious in every encounter, there
is no more hope for Blanco than
there was for Weyler. There is only |
one thing Spain can do and that she
will not consent to, and that is to
leave the island to itself.
