IT'S NOW suggested that the "miss
ing" men of the American army at the
Santiago fight, were "lost" by the Gu
ban insurgents, who were behind The
American troops, and who naturally
supposing their robbery OF the dead
and wounded would be detected if thu
bodies were found, concealed all trace
of them from the searchers. The sug-
gestion is neither strained nor malic'
ious. in view of the character of the in
surgents. And yet they are the men
in whose behalf the missing soldiers re
ierred to were sent to war.

Now THAT the negroes in Jamaica
know that the Americans havesupplled
their race in Cuba, only ninety miles
oil, with arms, clothes, food and medi-
ciue, and freed them from the rule OF
Spain, it would not be strange ii they
should manifest their repugnance to the
rule of England, and seek the assistance
of the United States in any attempt
they may make to relieve themselves
of that rule and to effect their liberty,
independence and home rule also. Blu
as England was the one European pow
err that refused to interfere to prevent
the despoliation of Spanish territory, a
request for such assistance would hard
~ receive favorable consideration, no
matter how unfortunate the condition
of the negroes of Jamaica msy be under
the rule ofEnglish satraps. But it was
not for the good of the negroes in Cubs
that the Spanish war was undertaken.
but for that of the Northern plutocrats.

to have extravaganza get people into hard
times and to have economy keep them
