Negroes Ought Not to Go to Cuba.

The President is now told that it will
be great mistake to send negroes to
Cuba. Race prejudice and social dis
functions are more pronounced there
than in this country. In countries
gathering their ideas from ancient and
proud people, where purity of blood
and social cast count for so much as
they do in Cuba, social lines cannot be
broken down, and if the United States
desires those people to be happy under
their new master, it must deal gently
with them on this subject, and flaunt
no red flag in their faces.

From a Maryland Subscriber.
Editor of the SPECTATOR.

Baltimore, Nov. 26-Enclosed please
find money for renewal of my subscrip-
tion to the SPECTATOR. Your spicy ed
itorials are alone worth many times that
amount and are much enjoyed, for like
the big majority CT the Southern ele-
ment have to get my daily news from
Republican paper, for with all its cant
about negro rOwdyism we have no use
for the renegade Baltimore Sun. That
was the chief cause of such things being
possibl even if it is hypOcrite enough
to call itself Democratic, and condemns
for effect, people doing in North Caro-
lima what it did here in Maryland. All
this makes your paper come in like a
desert; besides, l like to hear from
down there, as there is so much in COM
| mon between the stay -at-home Virginian
and the native Marvlauder. For in
stance, you have an old lion at Lynch
burg, a gentleman who never knew
when he was whipped, Gen. T. L. Nun
ford. the best and brainiest leader OF
cava ry that Virginia put in the field
outside of the immortal "Jeb.n You
don't bear much of him, as he is the
type of gentlemen who only push to the
front in time of danger, as at Appomat
tox, when he went through the Federal
lines in command of "Fitz" Lees divis
ion, He is one of the saints to us Mary
landers, even if he does belong to you.
| Yours truly.

Some Northern people say the negro
is what the white people of the South
have made him. In the first place the
negroes who were the result of the edu-
cation of the white people Of the South
have nearly all passed away. A new
negro, for whom not the South, but the
North, is responsible, has sprung up,
and he is no more in training, character
OR habits comparable to the negro for
whom the South was responsible, than
if he were not of the same race Since
the war the rank and file of the negroes
have pursued their own sweet way, and
it has been sweet, if we are careless in
what We say.

The attempt of the Democratic side Of
the house of representatives, on Tues
day, to break the rules In order to at
tach Cuban belligerency rider to the
diplomatic appropriation bill, was a
piece Of political buncombe which for,u-
nateiy failed. The question of sympa-
thy for Cuba does not appear to have
been so much involved In tie affair as
was an effort OF the Democratic leaders
to make some partisan capital. In or
der to do this they violated their oaths
OF Office by ignoring one Of the rules for
the government of the house. Cuban
sympathy is one thing and partisan poll.
tical buncombc is another, and the in
telligence and patriotism OF the country
know how TO discriminate between them.
The attempt OF the Democratic Side
TO play for party advantage comes at an
ill-dme for the success OF the movement,
The administrations policy has been
made necessary by the action of Spain
in changing her policy, and there has
been perfect understanding on the part
of the public that reasonable time
should be given for the success or failure
otlhe plan Of autonomy TO develop. Any
interference under the circumstances
would have made this government ride
ulous. On the other hand, the reason
ablctime is fast expiring, and the si,ua
ton has reached critical stage at which
the administration may have to take
some vigorous action almost any day.
The Democratic leaders have not failed
to note this, but their effort to make a
dramatic play before the galleries and
the country is piece OF bsurdlty which
Will be Of no advantage to them.
When the Congress Is called upon by
the President to act In the matter, at a
time when all other methods OF restoring
peace fail, as was laid down in the
Presidents message. that call Will be
to the patriotism OF the members Of the
senate and housc OF representatives, and
TO no party or faction. The unsuccessful
effort to give the question partisan
bearing when parties have not been
divided on the main pr!nc!plcor any par
ticuiar phase OF the subject, was a rank
exhibition of demasnsisnn No parti-
san capital can be made out of the s!tua-
ton, When the President acts should
It become necessary for him to act, he

Just because married men haven't
any imagination all their wives seem
TO think 1t is a sin for bachelor to

Just because an old bachelor writes
things about women all OF them need

NEW YORK, Jan. le,-Thc Clyde
line steamer Cherokee, which arrived
to-day from San Domingo ports, brings
details OF the recent earthquakes which
have occurred with frequency since
December % last. Great damage has
been caused throughout the whole
country, and tho Inhabitants were
driven from thcl. homes in q panic.
Al 6I3 In the morning OF December
Is, the people In the northern part OF
the island were startled by q very Sc
we're trembling OF the earth lasting full
" twenty-five seconds. At Porto Plata
and the surrounding neighborhood. In
GLIDING tho inland town OF Santiago,
this first shock was most severely felt.
Women and children rushed fronI-their
houses into the streets. crying out 10
be saved. The swaying OF walls and
the rocklng OF the earth caused q sem
satlon OF nausea.
The first shock was soon followed BY
another, and still another In rapid sue
cesslon. Then nil was quiet untilS2 p.
m, when another slight movement was
felt which caused another stampede OF
the Inhabitants. Many people say that
the water from dlsused wells was seen
to surge up level with The ground and
almost as rapidly disappear again. 1t Is
calculated that damage to the amount
OF SCI, 900 was done In the small port OF
Porto Plata alone. The Central Domin-
lean railroad suffered severely, traffic
being interrupted since the occurrence
OF the earthquakes. The submarine ca
Bile to Hayti was affected by the seis-
mic movement and communication was
interrupted.
In Santiago n number OF churches
were rendered dangerous for use, ceme-
terry walls were ruined and chapel
fell as though It had been struck by q
bomb shell. The government build
ings were damaged 20 great extent
and will need extended repairs II no.
complete rebuilding. The grand edifice
of Santo Cerro, one Of the Oldest In the
western hemisphere. and dating from
the time OF Columbus, was entirely de-
stroyed.
Almost every day since December 26,
there have been shocks, but OF COM
paratlvely harmless nature. As far as Is
known there has been no loss of hu-.
man life. The shocks were perceptibly
felt on board OF vessels In the harbors
OF the island.
