BRYAN's REGIMENT
The Colonel Addresses the Citizens of
Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 20.-Several
hundred members of the Third Nebraska
regiment, commanded by Colonel William
]. Bryan. arrived here today.
Hon. Benton Mcmillan presented Colonel
Bryan to the large and enthusiastic audi
enee of men and women, who greeted him
with cheers.
Colonel Bryan then spoke in part as
follows:
1--WE do not know what may be the
result of this war. War often brings re-
suits which are not imagined in the be-
ginning, but one result has already been
achieved during this war. If there was
anybody in the United States who doubted
the loyalty Of the people of the south
there will be no such doubts hereafter.
(Applause). When the President Of the
United States gave generals commission
to Fitzhugh Lee and Congressman Wheel
err, the sectional question was forever
buried and hereafter there will be no
Dixie line. (Applause). When our band
started down here I told them I wanted
them to practice well on "Dixie," SO that
we could play it when we got down south,
because 1 told them you had been prac-
ticing for thirty years on Yankee Doodle. :"
and we wanted to mix them down here.
(Applause).

Cubans may as we'll make UP their minds
that the administration will adhere to the
policy of fair treatment to all classes Of
the population that surrender to the forces
Of the United States"
There is great possibility that when the
friends Of Cuba have opportunity to COM
municate with the insurgent leaders in
Cuba they will admonish them that wisdom
and good hope in the future Of the island
will demand that suggestions in the proc
lamation be needed. The President will
not stand beside men who seek an oppor-
tunity to revenge themselves at the ex-
pense Of the spaniards for the cruelties
suffered by Cuba for many years.
The people Of the cities and towns. pre-
sumably the people who are interested In
property, will. If they are in sufficient
numbers to hold municipal control, and II
they exercise 1t properly, be permitted to
do SO. There will be no forcible wrestling
of power from those who by numbers are
entitled to hold 1t, and in moderation use
1t, and there will be no forcing upon the
majority the administration of the courts
and civil powers by men whose only title
to 1t is that they fought with Gomez or
with Garcia.
There has been no disposition on the
part Of the United States, civil or military
officials at any time to disregard the Gu
bans or to belittle their assistance. To the
best of their little ability it is admitted,
they have rendered service at times very
useful At no time, however, has the adj
ministration been disposed to assent to the
proposition that the insurgents in Cuba
had proved their ability to assume all the
functions of government that the Spanish
are expected to yield.
Should the Cubans, by the mistaken ad-
vice of their leaders, assume SO hostile an
attitude toward the United States as to
make 1t necessary to treat them as enc
mics, the condition will be regretted, but
it will make no difference in the determine
alton that Spain shall no longer govern
the island.
Members of the administration regret
very deeply the information from Santiago
indicating that the Cubans are more in
tent upon vengeance than they are for
securing tranquility under government
that will deal fairly with all people, wheth-
er native or foreign born. They will con-
slider 1t most unfortunate If the leaders
of the Cuban party do not see that the
prosperity and peace Of the island de-

Conservative says:
"The authorities at Washington are over

found political mistake to send Commodore

family of the regent of Lippe-Detmold the

LONDON, July 21.-The Times editorially
reproaching the Spanish government this
morning with moral cowardice in endeav-

pretending that General Toral has be-
trayed his country says:
1t is incredible that Spain can hope for
anything from Cuba, as 1t is impossible
for Blanco, as 1t was for Toral to fight
against hunger, and 1t Is unlikely that the
former will have anything else to fight WIN
for some time to come. Neither can any
thing he hoped from European Intervention
If Commodore Watson's squadron comes,
though dts arrival would be an unwelcome
spectacle to more than one European
power.
It may be assumed that Commodore Wat

the German ships at Manila.
