TROUBLETN HAVANA.

A bitter feeling is said to exist in Ha-
vana against this country. The United
States flag was torn down from many
houses in the lower districts last night.
Upper-class Cubans seut cablegrams
without number to President Mckinley
begging him to interfere. Cabiegrams
have been sent broadcast over the
United States asking for public meet
logs and appealing to the common
sense and justice of the American peo
pie. The Cuban leaders are doing
everything possible to prevent an out
burst, but say that if Gen. Brooke's corn.
mand is carried out net only will they
be helpless, but they will think what
ever happens to have been caused by
what they consider the arbitrary and
unjust action of the United States. Judge
Advocate Charles Gould, of the Amer
lean commission, yesterday cabled 10

easiness in the situation there, and advising
that the Cubans be permitted to participate

FRIDAY EVENING. DEC. so, 1855.

THE CONSENT of this country to take
mart in the international commission
called by the Gar for the purpose OF
effscting national disarmament, is only
another fair sample of the gross absurd
ity that now seems to have possessed
the men the people of the United Stats
have elected as their leaders. Why,
this country, without any reasonable
provocation, recently entered into a
war that cost thousands of the lives and
hundreds of millions ofthe money OF lis
citizens, and is now engaged in provid-
ing for an army hundred thousand
strong and navy to compete with that
of Great Britain, the most powerful
that sails the seas. How could this
government, thea, unless bereft OF It's
senses, agree to any disarmament? Bni
those who have had it in charge fo'
nearly forty years have presumed upon
the dense ignorance and monumental
stupidity ofits people, and, unfortunate
". have had too good reason for do
ing so.

Gov. MOUNT of Indiana would per-
vent lynching by enabling the nearest
kin of the victim to sue the county in
which the crime may be committed, fer
heavy damages. The Governor must
be loose in his intellects. Crimes must
be tried in the counties in which they
are committed, and no man with coed
sense believes that any jury in any
county would have the physical, let
alone moral, courage to put the people
of that county to any pecuniary ex-
pense, especially for such a crime as
lynching.
