place at the head of the best element OF
the Spanish people, social, literary and
political. He is today widely recog-
nized as the foremost statesman in the
kingdom, distinguished for his learning
and his ability. He is the one man in
Spain whom'we might look to for a fairly
unbiased analysis of the issues involved
in the controversy between his country
and our own. He has at last tbroken
silence, and that we are disappointed in
his utterances only serves to accentuate
the intensity Of the Spanish conviction
that the United States is in the wrong.
This feeling might be expected of the un-
educated and uninformed and unthink-
ing masses. but something quite diff
ferent was looked for from Castelar, and
the intellectual element he typifies
He shrewdly selected Vienna publi-
cation as a medium for the exploitation
OF his views, the dynastic sympathy of
the Austrians for the Spanish monarchy
insuring him delighted clientele. In
the Tageblatt he says the actior1 of the
Americans, whom he, refers to as yam
kees," gives evidence of "the mental de-
cay of the once glorious American
people," He charges them with tricks
and artifices," with the object of making
Spain responsible for the Maine disaster,
which was occasionedi "by the defective
manning of the vessel and the negli-
sence of its officers" Hel declares that
there is no justification for American in
reference in Cuba, and declares it is op-
posed to the most primitive conceptions
of international law. And then, grandil-
oquently: "The Americans will find
us ready to defend the graves of our
fathers at the altar of independence"
These declarations are almost too can
did to be Spanish, but CASTELAR, is not a
dissembler, and we may take what he
says as fair analysis Of the conserva-
tive thought of the Spanish nation.

UNCLE SANS NAVY

The demand for information respect
ing our navy has become so greet that
the ordinary sources of supply no long
or suffice to satisfy it. The public, whlie
eagerly devouring whatever news Is
published, also seek such knowledge of
our naval resources as pictures alone
can furnish. since these appeal more
clearly to the perceptions than printed
descriptions, and are thus a pleasure for
the eye as we'll as a satisfaction to the
intelligence. To fulfill this patriotic
desire and to stimulate loyal sentiment
this portfolio series has been prepared,
easch part of which will contain six
teen pages, 11x13la inches in size, and
as many superb Photographic illustra-
tions printed on heavy plate paper,
bonnd in cOlOred paper covers.
These views will embrace our great
battleships. cruisers, monitors, gun
boats, torpedo boats, coast defense
boats, dynamite cruisers, auxiliary ves-
sells, portraits of naval commanders,
ship crews, officers and men, drill ex-
ercises, big guns. ETC., each picture be-
ing accompanied by all needful text
information.
In addition to these illustrations,
there will be original pictures repre-
senting the explosion of the battleship
Maine, the harbor of Havana and a war
map of Cuba, supplemented by facts
historic and explanatory, that will af-
ford a complete understanding not only
of our naval efficiency, but also of the
proyocations that prompted to the MAX
ing of war preparations against prob
able hOstilities.
There will be six portfolios, published
in weekly issues, the first of which will
be ready for delivery about April 5.

UNAvAILING SUBTERFUGE

In view of the notorious fact that the
Spanish forces In Cuba have been Tough:
to standstill by the Cuban patriots, the
eleventh-hour proclamation of an armis-
tice is tinctured with grim humor
A cessation of activity by the Spanish
soldiery is a meaningless phrase. The
few sorties beyond the fortifcations OF
Havana, that have been undertaken by
Blanco have scarcely afforded his SOL
diery the physical exercise demanded by
the ordinary considerations of health.
Accommodating parties seldom get out
of sight of the flag floating over Morro
Castle. The only division of the Spanish
army that is detached is practically sur
rounded by the insurgents in the eastern
provinces, and if the troops composing it
lay down their arms it is likely to be
at the dictStion of the patriot COM
mander, rather than Of Blanco. There
is scarcely doubt of the ability of the
insurgents to drive all loyalists of the
island within the Qualifications of the
capital whenever a eliminating policy
is deemed advisable. The ability to cap
ture Havana, at any time during the
past six months, has scarcely admitted
of doubt. That they have not hazarded
their cause upon such a movement is
credtable to their wisdom and their
prudence.
The armistice is a one-sided affair at
best, and is likely to be of short duration.
1t will have no effect upon the military
plans Of General Gomez. He is likely
to strike wherever he sees a Spanish
head, and it is scarcely to be assumed
that Spanish soldiery will standin awe
of a proclamation of armistice, in the
face of an armed and desperate foe.
The last makeshlft will be no more
potent than the one that preceded it
Encouraged by the administration, in
its desperate search for subterfuges ir
the interest of delay, it promises tc
plague only them in the added embar-
rassment of the situation.

THEIR DARKEST HOUR

The humane side of the Cuban ques-
ton is never lost sight of by the American
people. The fate of the quarter of a
million survivors of the concentration
policy of the Spaniards will continue to
enlist their earnest solicitude. To these
wretched people the hour is full of peril
The dangers that have surrounded them
are being multiplied. Under recent or
ders from Madrid many have been re-
turned to their impoverished homes and
left to starve in isolation. Some have
since been butchered by the Spanish SOL
diery for no other offense than the
making of efforts to supply themselves
with food The withdrawal of American
consuls from the island has left them
TO the tender mercies Of their oppressors
The provisions for their relief, con-
tributed by Americans, are likely now to
be withheld. Worse, they are more GER

tain to be fed to Spanish soldiers,
scarcely better provided with the neces-
saries of life than the reconcentrados.
The American branch of the Red Cross
is likely to be 1mpotent to secure fair
distribution. Spain is a party to the
Geneva agreement, to protect the Red
Cross, but the Spanish branch will not
consent that relief measures be left in the
hands of the American division, headed
by Clara Barton. Until the United
States can take possession of Cuba.
therefore, the lives of two hundred and
fifty thousand people on the island will
be in the hands of the Spanish authori-
ties. How far these officials will con-
Germ themselves about the reconcentra-
dos, or the poor Of Havana, is very
doubtful quantity. They will be saved
by the prompt action Of congress. and
the vigor of the president in executing
its DEGREES, or they will perish from the
face of the earth.

THE FIRST GUN

Thirty-seven years ago this morning
the first shot Of the rebellion was fired.
1t issued from a mortar battery to the
south of Charleston, and fell within the
enclosure Of Fort Sumter. This occur
red at twenty minutes past a. m, Cen
eral Beauregard having given Major
Anderson one hours notice of his inten-
tion to lombard the fort.
Within very few minutes the strong
hold was girt by an almost continuous
circle of flashing artillery. The cannon
aiding was kept up without cessation
eliciting no response until long after day
break, for which Major Anderson was
waiting.
tasted on salt pork, the only provisions
left, and water.
At o'clock Sumter hurled back her
first answer to the voice of the rebellion.
All day long the cannonading contin-
ued, with little effect upon the defenses
of either side, and at nightfal all firing
ceased, except from the mortar bat
teries.
At dawn the next morning the bonn
bardment was resumed, and soon hot
shot set fire to the wooden barracks in
Fort Sumter. The heat became so in
tense that the garrison, to avoid suffoca-
ton, lay prone upon their faces, with
wet cloths to their mouths.
At 1 o'clock the flag was shot away
and although at once partially restored
to its former position, was not observed
by General Beauregard. who sent an
officer, under flag of true, to learn #
Major Anderson had surrendered. The
latter agreed to evacuate upon condition
that he and his men be permitted to take
passage for New York. This being ac-
ceptable to the Confederate commander
Major Anderson and his gallant little
band at noon of the following day with
drew from the burning fortfication, and
were soon on their way to the north.
Will the peace of nearly four decades
be broken on this anniversary of the
fateful 18th of April, 1861?

HAS CUBA A GOVERNMENTS

| QueSdQd mas ndue elective TeSpoHSS
to the eleventh-hour assumption OF
the president that the Cuban patriots
have no civil government worthy of rec
cgnition. The case he makes out is
conclusive that the civil government of
the island is a more tangible entity
than was the government of the Ameri-
can colonies which France recognized;
more stable organization than that set
up by the Confederacy at Montgomery,
and which both England and Spain took
early occasion to recognize; more i'm
pressive reality than the autonomist
government of Cuba, to which Spain
has made at least pretended Difference,
and which the administration would
like to compel the patriots to recognize.
1t is shown to be more liberal govern
ment, more genuinely republican and
democratic, than that which today as
sumes to rule the Sandwich Islands, and
from the hands of which the admins
tration has shown a Willingness to ac-
cept territorial acquisition.
Quesada shows that the republic of
Cuba has a constitution fundamentally
corresponding with our own, a regu-
larly elected president, cabinet and con-
gress. He shows that the patriot chief
tains have recognized the superiority of
this government over the military. that
they accepted appointment under'it, and
have made reports of their movements
to it in form. And he proves conclusively
that the Spaniards have themselves,
unwittngly at least, and in numerous
ways more or less pronounced and pub
lie, acknowledged the existence Of the
civil government Of the patriots. That
all of the people of the island alsofrec
ognize 1t may be questioned. But it
should be remembered that most of them
have not as yet had an opportunity.
A large portion, as we have been told by
the highest disinterested American au-
thority, have been grubbing for worms
upon which to subsist, and have no hats
to take off to the patriot president.
Until the Cuban people have had an
opportunity to voice their sentiments re-
garding this insurgent government, pro-
visionally created to cover the necessi-
ties of the situation, and its tenure ex-
pressly limited to the date of the Sc
curing of independence, it would seem
to be entitled to the respect, at least, of
the American people.
But the president continues to act the
part of the martinez in his dealings with
it, to bubble over non-essentials, to
seek after the unattainable, to demand
the impossible.
The fact that the constitution Of the
Cuban republic makes no provision for
the assumption of any portion of the
Spanish war debt may indeed constitute
the real objection. 1t remains to be seen
to what length the administration will
go in attempts to coerce the patriots into
thus amending their fundamental law,
to suit the purposes of those who have
invested in these securities.

part of Spain, before 1t was too late to
be of any practical service in determin-
ing the questions at issue, or to secure fol
| 1t the approval of the insurgents, Is in
a matter of fact way conceded.
The conclusions drawn are self-evi-
dent: That Spain is powerless to sub
due the rebellion. That the insurgents
are unable to drive the spaniards from
the island. That the conditions that
have obtained are intolerable. But that
they will continue to grow worse, unless
the United States intervenes to separate
the combatants, and compel them to
agree upon a peace that shall promise
to be lasting, is not so obvious.
For remedy the president proposes
sary-and he asks congress to- give him
men and money and ships; to authorize
him, in the name Of the United States, to
take possession of an island that does
not belong to us, and to enable him to
dictate terms to both sides upon which
he will relinqush his hold upon it. He
would place a federal army between the
combatants, denying to Spain the right
to further endeavor to suppress a re-
volt among her subjects, and to the
patriots the privilege Of continuing their
struggle for independence.
That is to come later. That is to come
after they have paid the price. That is
to come after they have agreed to the
terms.
