AUTONOMY IN CUBA.
(New York Times.)

NNcW I Ork lImoS)
General Pando, it seems, has report-
ed to his chief, Marshal Blanco, that
all the Cuban leaders In the field have
declined even to consider the project
or autonomy. In one case. as we
know. Cuban leader has gone so far
as to have summarlly executed the
spanish envoy who came to his camp,
IN deilance of nn express warning, to
have talk about it with one of his
SubordinateS. The conclusion of General
Pando is that mo other course is open
than to finish war with war"
That would be q just conclusion if
real autonomy had been offered to the
Cuhans and they had really rejected It.
But neither of these conditions has
been fulfilled. The text of the royal
decree in which the project of auton-
omy Is promulgated has been received
here. But in the first place II Is TO be
noted that, since the decree can be In
validated by the Cortes, any Cuban
insurgent who trusted to It's terms and
disbanded his men would have no guar
antee whatever, even for her personal
safety In the second place, the decree
itself does not promise what any Anglo
Saxon would call home rule for Cuba
II scemS TO bear put Mr.. Hannis Tay-
iors assertion that no Spaniard can
even comprehend what local self-gov-
eminent is. Undoubtedly the M!mistry
of Sagasta has gone as far in that di-
rcction as It dared to do The main
point in favor at once OF It's own sin
ccr!ty and Of the Eenu1neness OF It's
offer .s that the offer has aroused n
hitter Opposition In Span itself. But
the offer, with the conditions and re-
strlctions attached to II, is In Itself,
and even If IT were made with the as

BRIAN BoRU'S HARP.
The Oldest Instrument OF the Kind
Preserved in Trinity College.
(From Lloyd's Newspaper)

III
No more interesting relic OF Ireland's
old historic days has come down than
the instrument preserved in Trinity
College. Dublin, and known rs brian
Boru's harp" 1t is the oldest instru-
ment of the kind known to exist in the
land OF Erin, and probably In Europe.
The legend attached to the harp gives
1t the honor Of having been played at
the Court of King Brian Boru, slain
at the battle OF Clontarf. in the year
101i. having passed into the possession
of his son Donough, the murderer of
league, In Consequence of which act he
was deposed by a nephew. Donough
retired to Rome. Thither the avenger
carried the regalia of his assassinated
father, and also the musical instru-
ment. Deposited in the vatican. II re-
manned there centuries, until sent over
by the Pope to Henry VIII, then hon
ored by the pontiff as the Defender
of the Faith"
This is only fiction. One of the great
est OF Irish antiquarian scholars, the
late George Petric. has cXhaustively
and convincingly shown that the story
has no foundation in fact From its
size, peculiar structure and heraldic
decoration Mr.. Petrie dcduced to the
satisfaction os archaeologsts. that the
harp belonged to the smaller class of
80 d"eu ~ tiiS - 1911 eSSieS-
iastlcs to accompany voices in the sing
Ing OF hymns at private devotion or in
the services Of the church The in
strument Is but thirty-two inches high
Thus Mr.. Petrie commended 1t was too
small to have been n bartlIc instrument,
quite untitled to have been played by
the minstrel at festal functions. The
scholar also points out that his argu-
ment for the instrument being one for
devotional purposes Is strengthened by
the appearance of the letters II. II. S."
carved in relieve in the Gothic charac-
ter. 1t was the opinion of the antiquary
that this harp was made for one OF
the two O'Ncills who flour!shed in the
fourteenth century, the first as Bishop
of Clogher, the second as Bishop OF
Derry
One of the last Ministries who struck
harmony from the strings of the in

sent of tho Cortes, entirely inadequate
as a scheme of local self-government
for Cuba.
1t permits the islanders to govern
themselves up TO the polRt at which the
Cantain-General thinks they are over
doing 1t. and It empowers him to inter-
fere ut that point and stop their pro-
ceedings. 1T must be borne in mind
that autonomy Is already q hateful
word to Cuban ears, and that a Cuban
ahtonomist Is not easily distinguished
from tho;oughGoing partisan Of Span
lsh rule. y Cuban lusurgent leader
who took General Pandos word or Mar
shall Blanco's word that Spain would
give home rule to Cuba II Cubans
would desist from fighting for indie
pendence would be a very foolish per-
son.
General Pando speaks OF the alterna-
tive of finishing war with war;" as If
1t were new notion. OF counse he
knows. and everybody In Cuba knows,
that it is only because Spain has failed
In the attempt to finish war with war;
and brought herself TO the end OF her
resources, that she makes any over
lures at all to tho Cubans, adequate or
inadequate, genuine or feigned.
In so far as the attitude of our Gov
eminent and people toward the insur-
rection is concerned. 1t was quite cor
rectly put by the President. Tt Is not
our business TO say what might could,
would. or Should pacify Cuba. We In
slst only that Cuba shall be pacified,
and we give Spain a reasonable time In
which TO effect the pacihcalion. 1t is
for Cuba to say what will pacify it..
Meanwhile If by finishing wlr with
war" General Pando means revcrting
10 the barbarities of Weyler, and under
taking to make solitude and call It
peace" and IL Spain resumes that pol
icy she will invite our intervention on
grounds of humanity as we'll as on
grounds of interest.
