THE INTELLlGENCER.
DECEMBER le, 1898.
4 Remarkable CoIncldence.

co.lncldent with the signing Of the
treaty OF peace, after the war which be-
gan for cuban freedom, comes the death
Of General Callxto Garcia, OF the Cuban
1nsurgent army, and the hero OF two
wars for Cuban liberty, one Of ten years
duration, and the other Of five years.
This leader Of the Cuban cause, who
gave the best years Of his life for It, en-
during untold hardships, contending
against a great trained army with his
ragged and poorly equipped followers,
iiyed to see the consummatlOn OF his
Mes dream, the downfall OF Spanish
sovereignty In his beloved isle, the
Queen OF the Antilles, but not the real
isation of the republic he had fought for.
Az the very dawn of that liberty,
which was secured by the aid and inter-
ven,Isn OF the ideal republic OF the
world, and within twenty-fOur hours af-
ter the signing of the document which
was to make his dream a reality, the
brave leader, Garcia, passed away, a
victim of the northern climate OF the
capital of that government which had
been his peoples benefactor, whittier he
had come from his tropical home to con-
fer with our President with regard to the
government to be established in accord
ance with the solemn pledge Of this Ma
tion.
Though Garcia is dead, andha gone
to rest with the silent thousands OF his
followers who had preceded him on the
battle field, his memory will live in the
hearts of the Nv survivors who viii en-
10y the benefits FOR which he fought SO
long.
over IN Paris. only the day previous,
an assembly of statesmen of tw" HnIin-
tries had signed the treaty closing the
war which grew out of the revolution
Garcia and his compeers had created for
holy cause. That war had brought
rraycr results and unexpected victories
Of broader moment than the mere free
dom Of Cuba. one-half the assembly
signed away nearly all that Spain pos
seSeed outside of the Spanish peninsula
and all her power in the world as a
despotic nation, whose cruel policy had
brought upon her this fate. The other
signed the names of the representatives
Of the victorious government that will
spread civilization in those possessions.
The tragedy was ended and the dra-
matte close was known TO the dying Gu
han leader in Washington in time to
cheer his closing hours with the thought
that he did not leave his people still
struggling, but as the wards Of great
benefcent. iiberty-ioylng people, a peo-
pie whose own destiny is involved in the
result.
The two incidents, occurring almost
simultaneously, add to the dramatic
interest Of the closing scene OF the great
war for human liberty and American
civilization.

The other day, In referring to the
caSes,of state Senators Getzendanner
and Pierson. whom the Democrats claim
forfeited their seats in the senate when
they enlisted In the volunteer service for
the war, the Intelllgencer pointed out
tina. two Democratic state senators had
been permitted to hold their seats while
holding civil offices under the federal
and state governments, and the Demo-
Gratis excused them on the ground that
the offices We're "appotntive" and did
not come under the constitutional pro-
vision.
The purpose was to call our Demo-
cratic friends attention to the fact that
under the plea they made Getzendanner
and PIerson were entitled to their seats
in the senate because their military POSI-
lions were "appolntive' also. Our de-
sire WIS to show the Inconsistency OF the
Democracy. This morning we have a
Communication from Martlnsburg not
ing that Hon. George F. Evans, a loyal,
true blue, aggressive Republican, was
permitted By Democratic legislatures,
without a protest, to hold siIs seat In
these bodies while serving in the Ma
tional Guard, and also. when reelected
in 1852 he held 1t until his term expired,
although serving as postmaster in Mar
tlnsburg. Here is another case which
met With Democratic approval, though
the offender was Republican.
In this connection the Register claims
that the Republican United States at
torney generals decision, that Major
General Joe Wheeler a Democratic
leader, does not forfeit his seat in Con-
gress on account of his commission in
the volunteer army dhough the same
provision is in the federal constitution
as in that of our own state), does not
apply because there is nobody contest
ing General wheeter's seat" What II
there isn't? II Getzendanuer violated
the constitution, did not General
Wheeler also, even II there is no contest?
What has . contest to DO with II! what
sort OF a loglcian is the Register to ad-
vance SO boylsh an argument? On this
point the Parkersburg state Journal.
quoting the Registers absurd PROPOSE
ton, remarks:
In other words. the astute philosopher on
the Register holds that the right OF Sen.
ators Getzendnnner and Plerson to their
seats in the state senate is involved and
in question simply because the Democrat
&c leaders In West Virginia happen TO need
those two seats In their, business OF max
ing a United States senator out Of Johnny
McGraw They are contestsinG for those
two seats-therefore the. Legality of
Messrs Plerson and Getzendanner's tenure
OF ONCE is attacked. Such reasoning
would make donkey smile.
But the State Journal should UNDER
stand by this time that this is Just the
course the Register pursues in all things
political. What is u virtue in Demo-
crat is ian outrageous crime" in a Re-
publican. Isn't that the logic OF every
proposition the Register has made in
this matter?

It comes out that the famous De LONE
letter, making an insulting reference to
President Mckinley, before the deciara-
ton OF war, and which resulted in the
practical election Of the Spanish minister
from the country. was stolen not in Ha-
vana, but by a Cuban waiter in the no.
tel at which the minister boarded in
Washington. The whole business was
the result OF the Spanish juuta setting
spy to watch the actions of the Span
lsh minister. The letter, when stolen by
the Cuban waiter, who posed as a Ven

the note before 1t was published. II

seemingly impregnable; up to the
close of the civil war it could be de.
Tended against fleet or army of any
size, but as small a gun as the eight.

short time. The old method OF forti.
flying has been replaced by the en-
placement system of earth, stone and
concrete, except at points where the
topography OF the coast line permits
the use OF natural formations.
This is the case at Portland, Me-,
where the rocky cliff has been utilized,
the batteries being at an elevation OF
30 or 60 feet above tide water. Here,
however, a large amount OF concrete
and stone work has been used to rcen-
force the walls of rock. The walls ot
