subject of his visit TO Cuba. Although he
spoke to a crowded house considering the
public interest in the Cuban question. it

the reconcentradOs were set free to-

Britain's ''little war on the north
western frontier of India may be regarded
as ended now, since the ''rebels' have
given hostages for good conduct which is
the surest guarantee OF peace. BY the
way. the word ''rebels' throws q volume
of light on the situation. When the strife
began, the opponents of the British forces
were native tribesman who had never been
subdued, or given any allegiance to the
Empire of India; now they are rebels, and
that means that their land is regarded as
British territory. Thus a substantial ad-
dition is made 10 the British Empire in
India, bat at the same time il is brought
nearer to the Russian Empire il Asia,
and dangerously thin partition is all that
divides them. The rev acquisition may
prove to be a dearly bought piece OF
territory.
