| mics were lnOSc illllisLeTS WHO are
postponing her duplication for peace.
During the past few months this
country has learned great deal. The
eyes of our people are constantly being
opened in regard to matters that have
heretofore been misunderstood or SUBJ
jccts of dispute. This is particularly
true of the Cubans. Before the war we
were wont to picture them as perse-
cuted disciples of holy cause, only
equalled in fidelity and meekness by
the early Christian fathers. This vision
has been rudely dashed to earth. So,
too. the misconception as to their NUM-
bers and strength. 1t was generally
believed that they had between $4,000
and $4,000 men in arms that they were
in practical control of the whole island
save Havana and few other seaports !;
and that about all they needed were
arms and supplies to enable them to
quickly drive the Spaniards from the
island. On closer acquaintance we find
them only in scattering bands of few
hundred or thousand each. numbering
in all probably less than 10000. They
are ragged and hungry, without organ
ization or discipline. They do not OBJ
serve the rules of civilized warfare
even as much as the Spaniards. They
are savage and cruel, and if they can
get chance at the prisoners our men
take they viii murder them by the
wholesale. They have been of some
service to our army as scouts, but are
valuelcss in open battle. They win
steal anything that is not watched and
appear more Interested in eating our
rations than in doing battle. Just now
they are ugly because they were not
allowed to enter Santiago and pillage
the city and set up their government
the moment it had surrendered to our
army. 1t is reported that Gen. Garcia
has withdrawn from cooperation with
us. If so. the loss will not be serious
one, except at mess quarters. Some
allowance should be made, of course,
for people so long oppressed and
without any advantages, but it seems
probable that long course of training
will be necessary to fit them for self
and that Uncle Sam, re-
CARELESS of his desires, must be the
schoolmaster. In the Philippines, too,
we are making nothing by associating
with the insurgents. Dewey's only
seems to have been when he
brought the leader, Aguinaldo, back
from his exile on his war vessels.
Aguinaldo has had unusual success
against the Spaniards and is so pulled
up in consequence that he has pro-
claimed himself dictator and has no in
ercourse with the Americans now.
When our troops arrive in full at Ma
lila, they may find the city in possess
ion Of the rebels and a curious phase
viii be entered upon. 1t sometimes
ooks as if the easiest part of our job
was going to be the conquest of the
spaniards.

1t is notable that so little honor has
come to Gen. Shafter on account of
the remarkable success of the Santiago
campaign. In three weeks time, with
raw troops, in the hottest of climates,
threatened with fever, his army
marched over country almost i'm
|passabIe, won three heavy engagements
over an enemy Injured to the condi-
tions, sheltered behind Notifications
and superior in artillery, and after en-
during hardships and suffering that
seldom fall to the lot of any soldiers,
received the capitulation of the city
and of more of the enemy than the in
vading army numbered. History rec
ords few instances of more signal sue
cess. And yet Shafter is not acclaimed
as the hero of such campaign usually
is. There seems to be an idea that
more praise is due to the bravery, en-
durance and zeal ofthe subordinate Of
ficers and the common soldiers of the
American army than to the command
ing general. This is probably the
truth. The plan of campaign was
mapped out in Washington and ex-
cuted with little variation. There was
no opportunity for Napoleonic strate-
gy. Straight and hard fighting won
Santiago. Shafter was i'll at the rear
when much of this was being done.
Some are so uncharitable as to MAIN
tain that another commander would
have done better than he, but that
seems unlikely. Much the same state
exists concerning the great naval bat
tie. Schley is the nearest approach to
its hero. but his title is clouded. Ad-
miral George Dewey is the only "real
thing" the war has produced thus far.

Three months of war has really seen
much accomplished. The naval
strength of Spain has been shattered.
She is confined to her own shores. She
cannot send reinforcements or supplies
to her beleaouered armies in Havana
and Manila. The issue of the war is
beyond all doubt. 1t will be humili-
ating and disastrous to Spain. De-
tered by the rainy season and our UNI
preparedness from the advance on Ha-
vana, we have gained strong foot
hold in Cuba and captured a strong
Spanish army in a brief campaign. All
this has been done while we have sim
ply been getting ready for the fray We
have put forth but modicum of our
land strength as yet. AS IL stands, if
we choose, we have only to wait until
the remaining Spanish force in Cuba
makes submission of its own free will,
for it cannot hold out always, shut off
from the mother country. Meanwhile,
just for the sake of having something
doing, we are about to overwhelm
Porto Rico and take from Spain her
last remaining colony in this hemis-
phere. Watson's squadron will soon
make call on the enemy at home that
may carry to the dons a forceful les
son of the power OF Yankee guns. II

MAGNATE BYRNE DEAD.
One of the Men Who Evolved Modern
Base Ball.

NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-Charles H. Byrne,
who was president of the Brooklyn Base
Ball club died at his residence in this city
today. Death was due to a complication of
diseases. Mr.. Byrne had been unconscious
since Monday Of last week, and death had
been expected.
The history of modern base ball is con-
temporaneouS with the active life of Charles
H. Byrne, and to him has been given the
credit for many of the features of the game
which have given 1t its national character
Mr.. Byrne received his education at ST.
Francis Xavier college. After graduation he
engaged as a newspaper reporter. In 1888
he branched out as a base ball manager
Co.. which organized the Brooklyn Base
Ball team. and entered the Interstate league
The Brooklyn club Joined the American asso-
citation in 1884. Mr.. Byrne caused a sensa-
ton in 1885. when. having associated himself
with Messrs. Abel and Doyle, he purchased
the entire Cleveland league team, paying
therefor the sum of $4,000. Byrne also Sc
cured Collins. of Louisville. and Burns of
Baltimore, two crack outfelders. Even with
this aggregation Byrne not successful
and in 1856 he bought out the entire Metro
politan team. This deal was quickly fol-
lowed by the purchase of Dave Foutz Bush
ong and Bob Carruthers from the st. Louis
team for $4,000. Byrnes llberality and en-
terprise were rewarded by securing the pen

while. Hughes asked if he might take a cue
in the game. l then proposed that McDaniels
and Hughes play Charles Seaman and my
self. Hughes and McDanels and Seaman

the hotel. and 1 then went TO my room and
was soon asleep. About an hour later, Nc

and the whole troupe. Hell wanted me to
come down. 1 did not want to get mixed up
in a fight, so 1 stayed in my room. Next
morning l went to Hughes room, and for
several hours assisted the doctors in caring
for him. The arteries in his nostrils had
been ruptured by the blows he had received
from McDaniels.
We finally staunched thes flow of blood.
Daniels apologized to Hughes and we all
parted the best of friends. It's dead wrong
for the press to connect me with the af-
fair, when / not only not mixed up in
it. but acted the Good Samaritan in helping
care for the injured man."
The condition of Attorney Martin Hughes is
not considered dangerous. Hughes lost con-
siderable blood and is very weak today but
is expected to be about in a day or two.
After the fight, Daniels apologized and no
arrest was made. Should Hughes injuries
result seriously, the authorities say there
will be no trouble in experimenting McDan-
