ON TO CADIz.

Now that it is announced that Ca
mara has started with his squadron
for the Philippines, by way Of the Suez
canal, the first thing for the govern
nent at Washington to do is to con-
firm the report, and then speedily make
I'D a feet Of battleships. gunboats and
cruisers from the squadron in the West
Indies and dispatch it for the Canarles
via Cape Verde, thence to Cadiz,
thence to the Spanish islands in the
Mediterranean. The cost Of such an
expedition will be no greater than is
already being maintained, but the
moral effect of such movement in be-
ing overshadowing will not be lost
upon Europe. The appearance Of a
staunch United States fleet in front Of
Cadiz will weaken Spain more percept-
IDLY than a half dozen victories over
her outside colonies. There can be
nothing to intercept the free movement
of such a fleet, if Camara has indeed
sailed for the Philippines, which, at
bottom, we do not believe. However,
whether he has sailed or not, the Unit
ed States feet will be safe enough,
even in finding and sinking that nest
Of tubs denominated "Camara's squad
ron" This is the first opportunity that
the United States has ever had of ap-
pearing as a belligerent in Europe,
and the effect of such demonstration
would be worth unnumbered millions
of dollars. On to Cadiz.

Guthrie Leader.-Yesterday afternoon
DR.. Ryan, the Santa Fe physician. was
informed by telegram that the north

upon investigation and inquiry the marks

by the Galveston mosquito, which has a
reputation for size and vindictiveness not

THE RUSSIAN FAMINE.

There has been so much talk and
thought Of war that all other events
however great for good or disastrous
for humanity have been ignored or
overlooked. The famine Of India has
been forgotten, and even Of the condi-
ton Of the reconcentrados for whom
we went to war little is known. How
few have taken note Of the fact that
there is an almost unprecedented fam
inc in Russia, a famine so extensive
and alarming as to actively enlist the
royal family in the work of relief. Of
ficially, Russia is rotten, though her
Cars for the most part have proved
honorable rulers. The Car has placed
himself at the head of the relief COM
mittee and the Czarina has Joined the
Red Cross committee and is actively
engaged in alleviating the distress Of
the peasantry. The Cars object is not
only to relieve the distressed, but to
take such steps as will prove a pre-
ventive of a recurrence of famine. He
began aggressively, deposing high Of
fetal for alleged misuse and personal
appropriation of relief funds. Nicholas
is no novice in this work. In 1891 he
presided over the Imperial Famine
commission and organized a sort of
state insurance against famine, by
which means provision was made in
the years of bountiful harvest for the
years of poor productiveness. The
scheme worked admirably, but of late
the Car lost track of the famine COM
missions doings and all the money,
corn and other provision made for a
famine year have disappeared. Even
the great detectives and secret agents
Of the government can not tell when
or where they went. The famine has
disclosed the corruption of the govern
ment officials, and as these are being
deposed and punished the silver lining
of the cloud is discernible. The good
that this i'll wind is blowing to others
is that in view of the restitution among
his subjects the Car is not inclined to
become involved in any foreign compli-
cations.

sweeping Republican victory in Kansas
this year the only conclusion that can be
correctly reached is that in politics at
least Kansas voters lack horse sense.
The nominations for state and district
officers are excellent throughout. The
Republican party has redeemed its
pledges made in 1896 in such full and over
flowing measure in the line OF restoring
prosperous times and conditions where
before distress and despair were univer-
sal, that the most prejudiced Pop is COM
PEELED to admit 1t. Kansas has come in
for her full share in spite of her Doodle
legislature, incompetent management of
her public, educational and reformatory
Institutions and governmental weakness
generally. 1t has tested Populism to the
fullest extent, and unless reason and
sense have become perpetually warped
by the distortion they have suffered I'M
der the Populist craze Of the past nine
years, Kansas will take her proud place
again as one of the staunch Republican
states, ready to lead in every line of en-
terprise.

glories with exceeding great glory that an
orator was nominated for governor That
has been Mr.. SCOTS platform all along.
Mr.. Stanley Is something more than an
orator. He has every qualification of an
ideal candidate and a practical governor
who will give the state an administration
at once clean and able, untarnished by
the corruption that has been the disgrace
of the present administration. Associat-
ed with him are men like unto himself.
Men of ability and integrity who have
been successful and will carry with them
into the administration Of state affairs
the same business integrity that have
characterized them through life. They
have not been hangers on at the political
pie counters and broken down politicians
and unsuccessful business men. Governor
Leedy and his gang will be relegated to
private life and the state be given into
the hands Of men who have the ability
and integrity to give the state a clean,
business-like, honest administration.

Notwithstanding the terribly destruc-
tive work Of the 13-inch guns of the
navy, it is understood that they have
fallen into disfavor and that smaller
guns, which may be more rapidly serv-
ed, will supplant them upon battleships
thoroughly armored and because of les
sened weight and increased coal capac-
ity, having higher speed and greater
length of voyaging ability. This is held
by Chief Constructor Hichborn of the
Navy Department, and his views have
the concurrence of the Construction
Board. Such ships will be more eco
nonlic than those bearing the heavier
metal, and the belief is entertained that
they will prove equally as effective.
When the next great naval battle is
fought the battleships throwing projec-
tiles from S-inch guns will be found the
most formidable vessels.

THE SUFFERING IN CUBA.

The Spanish official body still in con-
troll in Cuba has opened two Cuban
ports to the United States, and are re-
moving their troops and officials This
puts into our hands two important
harbors, one on the south and one on
the north side of the island, through
which We can freely introduce relief
supplies for the suffering Cubans. The
advices are that action in that direc-
ton will at once begin.
This indicates the Spanish propose to
keep faith in the matter of the evacu-
alton Of Cuba, and probably the close
of the year will see nearly all Spanish
armed forces out Of the island. The
body Of men to be transported is esti-
mated at 100000 soldiers and officials
with their families. Havana is still re-
tanned, but it is improbable that such
will be the situation long.
The suffering among the poor in that
city is reported to be appalling. This
the Spanish are incapable of wholly re-
lieving, even if so disposed. The last
Of the souphouses have been closed by
Blanco's order. The Red Cross people
have tons of food ready for introduc-
ton into Havana, but it is forbidden
lately on the ground that without or
ders from Madrid no incoming of goods
Of any description can be permitted
This is the very refinement of cruel
ty. It would seem that the Spanish are
resolved TO visit cruelty upon the poor
of Havana out of very spite. 1t could
assuredly do no possible harm, nor in
any sense compromise Spanish honor
to permit the Red Cross Society to re-
lieve distress among the starving and
homeless of the city and its suburbs
The refusal of Spain ought to harder

against her.
