Spain could bring to bear. The situa-
ton in Cuba had its reflex influence
on Spain at length in the coming of the
Sagasta ministry under which Weyler.
whose successive campaigns had been
palpable failures, was replaced by
Blanco, while autonomy was offered to
the patriots instead OF independence.
1t is in the midst of Blanco's cam
paign that her third anniversary now
dawns upon Cuba, with prospects
brighter than ever. The failure of the
autonomy plan is conceded. and GER
tainly in the field Blanco has done not
a whit better than his predecessors.
Indeed, the leading feature of his oper-
atoms, General Pando's expedition in
southeastern Cuba, was an acknowl-
edged defeat. Why, then, should not

American Export Trade.

For the better part OF this century
England has been the worlds work.
shop. Indications are not wanting that
the day of her supremacy is past, says
the Engineering News. The colonies
she has planted would be false to the
spirit of enterprise and independence
that has brought England herself to
her present proud position if they were
content to sit down and live by agri-
culture and mining and depend on
other countries for manufactured goods.
The nations of Europe all strive so to
shape their legislation as to keep the
home market for themselves and at the
same time capture as much as possible
Of the export trade. 1t is true that the
exhaustion of her mines of Bessemer
ore, the increased depth Of her coal
mines and the fact that lumber and
many other raw materials must all be
imported have much to do in handi-
Gaping England in competing for the
worlds trade. 1t is true, also, that the
restrictions imposed by labor unions
and factory legislation probably oper-
ate to some extent at least as an addl-
tional handicap. But, besides these
cluses, there is also the ambition of
other nations to develop their own re-
sources and supply their own needs
to achieve commercial as well as po-
lftical independence. In the movement
now under way for the development of
American export trade it is well to
bear these facts in mind. We need not
expect to permanently supply Euro
pean nations with all goods which their
own natural resources will permit them
to make. Our automatic tools may for
a time enable us to win trade in GER
tain lines. but European manufacture
ers will eventually buy the tools that
will enable them to make the machines
or produces themselves. In the coun-
tries of South America, Asia and AZ
RIGA, however, the building up of
manufacturing industries will be a
slower and longer task and such OF
their trade as we may secure we may
reasonably expect to hold for many
years.

them, in this respect, on the same
they will exterminate all the Spanish
columns daring to leave their fortified
places and eventually invest them in
the principal cities.
With a single dynamite gun of small
caliber. and with the 5000 or 1000
rifles received by him from several
small expeditions sent from the United
States, General Garcia has driven the
Spaniards from the greater part of the
province of Santiago de Cuba
Cuba's Fighting Strength.
1t is a fact, which even Spanish diplo-
macy will not dare TO deny. that If,
instead of hampering the Cubans the
United States in their work of sending
expeditions to the brethren; if, in
stead of prosecuting them in so drastic
a manner as was done during the adj
ministration of Mr.. Cleveland; If. in
stead of keeping, at enormous cost to
this country, the American navy and
the police watching the Cuban junta

been unmolested, the possibility which
now confronts us of an international
war would not exist. The Cubans,
with no more than 10000 men in the
field, and with all the odds against
them, have proved in three years that
they are more than match for Spain.
With regular and ample supply of
war materials they can free their island
without any other help from abroad.
Cuban Army's Aid.
In a war between Spain and the
United States it is beyond doubt that
the whole Cuban army would be on
the American side. There is no doubt,
either, that we would give them all the
rifles, cartridges and cannon they need.
They would then take care of the land
operations. We would only need to
blockade the Spaniards by sea and let
them starve OF course, the Spaniards
would make an attempt with their navy
to break that blockade. The contest
would then be only naval one. But
with their capital only eighty miles
from Key West, and sixty from Dry
Tortugas, which would probably be the
center of our naval operations, is 1t
reasonable to suppose that the Span
iards could relieve Havana either by
stealth or by force? In a few days the
proud Spanish stronghold. with its Ca
bana fortress and its MORO Castle,
with its mined bay, and its famous tor
pedoes, would be at our mercy. and not
very much blood would be shed.

not keep a large stock OF provisions.
If the imports are stopped the entire
supply of food in Havana will be ex-
hausted by the 100000 inhabitants OF
the city in less than a week. Suppose
now that war is declared one of these
days. The United States in that case
has only to blockade the seaports of
Cuba TO starve out the whole Spanish
army, and that without landing a sin
gle man on the island. The Spaniards
will simply be compelled to surrender
because of the lack OF food.
Many Ports DefenseIess.
To prevent the possibility that they
to overpower the insurgents and get
their vegetables and other provisions,
something might be done easily, quick
ly, and at once. There are many sea-
ports OF some importance in Cuba alb
solutely defenseless from the sea side,
Cardenas, for instance, in the province
of Matanzas, on the northern coast, is
one of them. Cardenas was taken in
1S49 by the insurgent Narciso Lopez
with handful of Americans on board
a small merchant vessel. Since then
no fort capable OF resisting a cannon
shot has been built there. The Amerl-
cans can hold Cardenas and from there
communicate with the insurgents in
the country. In short time the whole
Cuban army may be well armed by
them and secure some cannon to attack
the inland towns. If without such
munitions and with the immense risk
and difficulties they incur in securing
scanty supplies from the feeble fill
clustering expeditions they not only
hold their own against Spain but ac-
tually imprison the Spaniards in their
forts and cities, it is obvious that pos
