but none OF them contains 30 much desirable
and trustworthy information concerning those
important islands a. 10 collected In the volume
entitled Cuba. Porto Rico. DO, by ROBERT T.

geographical and economic conepectus OF all the
islands bordering or within the great midland
basin which has been appropriately termed the
American Mediterranean. Their topography.

Pile. and political institutions are here dis
cussed, One may gain from these pages a
cleaf and full idea not only OF their actual con-
dition. but OF their capabilities. 1t Is probable
that few persons appreciate the vastness ofthat
section OF the earth's surface which Is made the
subject Of this work. AS q matter OF fact. tho

Galveston to the mouth ofthe 0rinoco. 10 nearly
four thousand miles. or one-third more than
the distance from New York to Liverpool. For
a fast steamer tc go from Jamaica, near the
geographical centre of the region. to any OF the
peripheral points. such as Colon. Barbados or
Nassau. requires three or four days. The aR-
gregato area Of the waters OF the Gulf and the
Caribbean is 1886. 900 square miles. or one
sixth of that Of the North and Central Ameri.
can continent, while the land area OF all the
islands is nearly 100000 square miles, or but
little less than the superlcies OF the State
OF Colorado. The traveller who would
circumnayigate the American Mediterra-
mean, as the Gulf and Caribbean collectively
may be called, keeping the bordering lands in
sight. would be obliged to travel 1900 miles.

in the Old Testament, and is identified by
the majority OF Jews with tho Iberian

the principal products are enumerated In tho
order OF their value. namely. suRarcane, to-
bacco. coffee. bananas, corn. oranges. and pine
apples. Heretofore the raising OF sugarcane
has been the mainstay Of the island. The Cuban
sugar lands are all upland soil. and excel In
fertility those OF all the other West Indies. No
fertilizers are used. and the cane requires to
be planted only once in, seven years. The ma

AN ERROR.

1t was suggested to US yesterday,
with some emphasis, that the British
resident here had not been asked to
ioin in a reception to the American
forces, which may, it is expected, visit
this port en- route to Manila. While the
American residents would naturally
take the lead in preparing reception,
there was and is abundant reason Tor
a most cordial invitation to the British
residents to join with them In cordially
recognizing a cause which is in a sense
not national, but international, one
which the English speaking people ap-
prove with enthusiasm. Owing to pc
culiar circumstances existing here, the
British generally may shrink from
making an offer of assistance in the
first instance. 1t would have been wise
and cordial, for the Americans to have
made a request to them to join in the
reception, if it occurred. The failure to
do so may be due to oversight, or an
assumption not warranted. Our re-
mark yesterday, to the effect that the
British were disposed to sulk about It,
was therefore, not justifiable and we
extremely regret that it was made
Until they decline to join, the matter
should not be prejudiced.
Moreover, the British authorities
have notified British subjects to OBJ
serve strict neutrality. Whether OF
not the proposed reception, with lt'
incidents, is a violation of the splrl
of neutrality may be a serious ques
ton. The Americans here have elected
to give the reception, whatever II
bearing on neutrality may be. The
will not, and they cannot, do other
wise. The Flag compels them. Tia
is enough.

ANOTHER LETTER.

We nrfnt elsewhere a second letter
from native woman on our social
and political condition. We have
abundant proof that the authorship OF
the letter is native, or part native. 1t
is not the work of a haOle. 1t shows
quite clearly that the native Hawaiians
entertain some very loose and vague
opinions regarding missionaries.
These arise more from race feelings
than from any very thoughtful study
of the situation. At the same time
they are valuable as an evidence of
current native thought. We cannot
blame the natives for taking these
views. Throughout the world, those
who are unfortunate invariably blame
the fortunate.
The British Government in Fiji,
have taken away the power Of the ma
tives, isolate them, and forbid any ex-
tended intercourse with the whites
The natives, on the whole, are con-
tented and are not crowded. But our
natives would not submit to a similar
treatment, even if it would be effective
in restoring the race. The natives
like the rest of mankind. love the
flesh pots, and will get at them re-
CARELESS of consequences. This works
much hardship to some native men
and women of excellent character.
The "sons. of missionaries are under
obligation only to provide the natives
with q chance. If they do not accept
il. the obligation ceases.

WAR Is HE'LL"

The Outlook says regarding the war:
1.-The country can dispense with in
fammatory oratory. 1t goes to war
with extreme reluctance, and with
hatred of the barbarous method of set
tying disputes deep in it's heart.
ut goes to war with sad deliberation
and in a judicial spirit. 1t is in no
mood for buncombe of any kind. The
business in hand is serious and needs
serious, dispassionate, clear headed me-
thods. Let us have an end of windy
defamation"
The Germans say when war falls
out. the Devil enlarges hell" Napoleon
said: Wharf.-The trade of barbarians,
and the art of bringing the greatest
physical force to bear on single
point" And we have Carlyle saying:
Under the sky is no uglier spectacle
than two men with clenched teeth, and
hell fire eyes hacking one another's
flesh, converting precious living bodies
and priceless living souls into name
less masses of putrisence, useful only
for turnip manure"
We do not for a moment discourage
war, in just cause. God hath created
mankind, in his infinite wisdom. so
that their progress in morals, and
what is called civilization" is advane-
ed over a highway covered with bodies
of men, mutilated, and dying OF Vlo-
Ience. and of widows and ophans SUI
ferine and desoIate. Even in just
war, injustice is it's constant incident.
A little girl said yesterday: Mama
do YOU think the .mama's OF the Span
ish sailors that were killed by the Bal
timore will cry?" In the exhuberance
of our feeling of triumph, let us not
forget that of some hundreds of young
Standards blown into eternity the 9th
erday by the awful fire of the American
warships, perhaps not one of them was
personally responsible for the con-
ditions which produced the existing
war. Perhaps every one of them was
IMMERSED into the service of man
ming Spanish guns. They were made
to pay for the error, and sins OF the
Nation. Even though they fought wei
and for the "honor" of Spain, they
were not responsible for the conflict
or for the miserable equipment OF
their ships. And behind them are
Spanish mothers, ignorant and blgoteo
indeed, but mothers nevertheless
mourning for their sons blown &c
pieces in the Far East. The mystery
of war. its necessity and uses, in adj
vancing and making glorious the
teachings of Christ, we cannot under
stand. We accept it as a condition OF
life on earth. But, when looked at IL
the dry light of reason and con
science. it is a terribly serious anc
solemn affair, in its incidents and fear
full results. The danger is that 1t per
mits the latent savagery of our ma
lures to take possession of US. In re-
sorting to "barbarOus methods as the
Outlook says, we are extremely liable
to share the feelings of barbarians, ano
delight in the destruction of men, be
cause we love victory. Great and hui
name commanders speak of war as
hell" If then hell must be delib
erately created in earth, in a good
cause, it should also create only thu
profoundest sorrow and regret while
it lasts.
