CUBAN AUTONOMY.

The elaborate ceremonies connected
 with the opening of the first auton- l omous congress in Cuba can scarcely
 have impressed anybody very much, even General Blanco himself. who con- ducted them with all the dignity pos- sible. There is something pathetic in the event, occurring as it does when there is no possibility of the success of an autonomous government under Spanish auspices in the island, and when fleet of American warships lies within dozen miles of the place of assemblage.
 General Blanco, in his address to the deputies, enlarged, of course. cn the perfidy of the United States in Interfering in Cuba just at the mo- ment selected by Spain for establish ing this new scheme of administra- tion, but he did not say, what he might we'll have said, that the mother coun- try would never have given her colony any voice in it's own affairs if she nad not been compelled to, and that even when the grant of autonomy was nnally made it was of such a char acter that the refusal of the insurgents 10 accept 1t was a foregone conclusion. The more liberal terms agreed to later might have sufficed if they had been offered a year or two ago, but it is very late in the day to expect them to accomplish anything now. And Gen. eral Blanco knows it as well as any body.
 The autonomy of Cuba will be set- tied finally in a short time now. and General Blanco will not be there to enjoy the ceremonies of inauguration Neither will it be possible for him to censor the press reports of the insti- tuition of the new regime of freedom on that island.

HOW THEY SWINDLE

The headline system of the yellow Journals was created to deceive. As a sample, one of them a few days ago had in huge black letters three or four inches high the word Battle and underneath in small letters was added the words "is now expected" In one instance big black letters said An other Battle" and below in minor let ters followed the word imminent"
 The big letters are what catch the eye, and thus the purcnaser is de luded into buying and wasting bis money. The public is catching on' to the trick and sales are falling off.

SPAIN AND HER ORANGES.

Spain has about finished sucking
 oranges. It has been draining then for centur1es-squeezing them harde1 l and harder as the juice grew less ant | the thirst grew greater. With am or ange in each hand-Cuba and the Phi. l ippines-the Spaniards had an idle, l they could enjoy the sweets for an in definite length of time.
 Three years ago the seeds in tho Cuban orange were reached and Spair is now hesitating about throwing il away. But it will have to drop thai orange before long, The Philippine orange has been wrested from the Spanish hand, and now poor, old and thirsty Spain, with parched mouth and dry lips, stands whining on her own peninsula wondering what is to be the future
 With no more colonies to bleed, and starve and tax and rob she will have to depend upon her own meagre re- sources at home Debt-ridden as no
 other nation has been stricken for
 years, with riots in her cities and
 revolution in her interior, she is noth-
 ing but wreck of her former arro-
 gant self. Centuries of cruelty and
 reckless plundering by the office
 classes has sapped the vitality cf the
 orange sucker. Of hope there seems
 to be none left for Spain. Only her
 honor" is left.
 She may save herself to herself but
 it will be at the expense of almost everything in sight. The reigning dy- nasty may be driven to cover, to be succeeded by another of the same kind founded upon the wreck. Even the accession of the Carlists to power would not save the nation from ruin. It would simply mean a new set Of plunderers who have been seeking for sixty years to get a grip upon the 
 The beginning of the end came in sight when the Cubans rose up in 1895 and proclaimed their freedom. Then the 1nnaD1tantS Of the Philippine 1S- lands followed suit Three months ago the battleship Maine was blown up In Havana harbor, and another com plication was added to Spain's chaotic It would take a much stronger nation than Spain to with 1 stand all these things. With the United States, Cuba and the Philip l pine islands at war with her, to say nothing of the Carlists at home, we do ] not wonder that the mysterious fleet has put into the port of Cadiz.
 Spaln's hour of settlement will come, but she may make heroic dy- Ing struggle and go down with a bra zen shout of '.Victory!''

On the hfll on the eastern side Of the
harbor is Moro castle. with five 24-poUnd-
ers, five 1s-pounders and two modern
batteries with modern guns are located.
AT the base Of Moro castle are several
guns loaded with shrapnei TO sweep the
face OF the water. and opposite Is similar

Going around the first curve of the mar
row entrance, Cayo Smith, an island. Is
found facing down the harbor with i bat
