LEE vs.. MCKINLEY.

No one thing has illustrated the dis
gust of the American people with the
course of Mckinley with reference to
Cuba more than the great popular
demonstration of approval given Gen.
eral FItzhugh Lee. As is we'll known,
General Lee is a Cleveland goldbug,
and no doubt would have supported
either Palmer or Buckner or Mckinley
himself if he had been in the United
States in the last campaign. POliti-
cally, General Lee with all of the pres
tige of his family name and his mill
tary record could not have been elected
to any office in Virginia, because the
people of that State are unqualifedly
for silver and financial reform. But
the people of his own State and the
people of the whole South, though they
have not the least patience with Gen.
eral Lees financial views have risen
up IS one man to applaud his brave,
patriotic and heroic stand at Havana.
They have done this, first: To express
their approval where appreciation was
deserved; and second, and above all to
express their condemnation of Mckin.
ley's vacillating and humiliating pol
icy, in such marked contrast to General
Lees course.

On Monday night resolutions passed
both houses of Congress demanding
that Spain at once withdraw her army
and her sovereignty from the Island
Of Cuba and directing the President
to use the army and the navy to that
end; but the resolutions do not con-
tain recognition Of independence for
the Cuban Republic. Twice the Sen
ate had voted that the Cuban Republic
should be recognized and then Spain
driven from the island; twice the
House refused to agree to recognize
the independence Of the Cuban Repub-
lie. The only vital point of Diligence
between the administration and the
patriotic members of Congress
who have worked and talked fol
Cuba's right, was the question or thu
Independence Of the Cuban Republic
and this the Senate surrendered. Tn,
action of Congress is triumph for TIT
Spanish bondholders who are deter

that enormous Spanish debt. IL is
victory for the franchise grabbers o
America who are determined to COB
BILE up the island for their own per

jobbery and corruption will run RIO
on that unhappy island. 1t mean
that Cuba may be given an Egyptia

"A WISE MOVE"

The Philadelphia Item, the largest
daily newspaper in Philadelphia with
a circulation of 100000 daily has the
following significant editorial IN its
issue of March goth on railroad owner
ship:
Switzerland, while one of the small
est countries in the world, is at the
same time one of the most progressive.
In no country, in Europe at least, are
the rights and privileges of the people
AZ individuals, 50 securely guarded as
in the cantOns of that small and inten-
sely democratic republic.
Some time ago q measure passed
the Swiss parliament providing
for the purchase Of the railroads
in the country, but under the
laws of the State the question was
submitted to the people for their ap.
prOval. This was through the refer
endum about which 50 much has been
said in advocacy Of it's adoption in the
United States. The people of Switz-
erland gave their approval to the meas
ure and it is to be Immediately carried
into effect by the government.
Switzerland has 2,16O miles of rail-
road within its borders, which is lit
tie over thirteen miles per 100 square
miles of territory and something over
seven miles per 10000 population. In
this country we have little less than
six miles Of road for each 100 square
miles of territory and about 26 miles
for each 10000 Inhabitants. =
The plan Of management is that the
roads will be directed by q department
Of the State rs the postal service and
the telegraphs are now directed. Since
the roads of Switzerland have been
profitable, the purchase is wise move
ment on the part of the country"
The same issue Of the Item also con-
tains q strong editorial in favor of Di-
rect Legislation through the Initiative
and Referendum. 1t was by q Refer.
endum vote that the people Of Swift
erland resolved to buy the railway
highways and use them at cost as q
public function. We make the follow.
ing extracts from the editorul:
"The people are tired of sham re.
forms. The masses are honest, patri.
otto and law-abiding, but they have
lost faith in "green goods" reform
Our citizens are fully conscious that
corruption permeates almost every de.
partment of our Government, national
State and municipal.

n. Y. Sun 18th
In the long list Of crimes commit
ted by the Spanish army In Cuba, it
will be hard to find anything more
than Gen. Morote's dee DIS
at Guira de Melena, Havana prov
ince.
Gen. Morote is one Of the most |
bloodthirsty Spanish commanders
who came 10 this island with Gener-
al Weylsr. He was one of Weyler's
favorites, and was equalled in cru
city only by General Molina and by
Weyler himself. Morote has been
kept in the field by General Blanco,
as Molina and all other Weyler's ia
vorites have been, apparently to
prove how mendacious are the orders
and DEGREES of the present captain
general in behalf of more humane
and civilized methods of warfare.
Yesterday Morote, with the batta!
ion of San Qaintin, met an insurgent
band, and in spite of the armistice
proclamation, both sides engaged IN
lively fighting. The insurgents num-
bered only $50 men and the Span
iards 1900, including guerilla force
but the patriots held strong positions
behind impregnable trenches.
After an engagement of two hours
Morote retired with his forces one
mile west to Guira de Melena, where
he found in three miserable huts q
poor family of country people. These
harmless creatures having confidence
in Blanco's decree abolishing con-
centration, did not fee from the
Spanish troops. The family was COM
posed OF three women, a man who
was q pac:fco, and six children. Gen.
Morote asked them if there was nc
more families around. They an
swered that another family was liv.
ing nearby in large cave called the
Camacho cavern.
Gen. Morote sent some soldiers t.
the cave and they brought back 8
girl fourteen years old name Auror&
Mendoza and three children.
Gen. Morote assaulted the girl
shot the pacifico, and sent the othe
women and children as prisoners o
war to Guira de Melena. The bar
3 barity of the Spanish soldier is show1
: by the fact that Morote does not con
J ceal these awful details in lis oficia
report. These are bis wvrus:
1.-The girl is beau, lful, anu desir
able companion for Spanish o1ice
in these trying times of war in tn
manigua and of American charity.
e This terrible incident of SPANS
o war in Cuba is absolutely true.
r comes to The Suns correspondent
: from the same Trustworthy sourc
that in 1896 and 1897 exposed tn
!, blacklist crimes of General Weyle1
;, y all of which were officially conirme
later.

When Expedition Arrived at Dyea Most

DETROIT, April Instantly W. Tur-
ner, of the government Alaskan relief
expedition, who has returned to this

ton arrived at Dyea they found two.
thirds Of the population gone else
where, and, accordingly, the expedi-
ton disbanded, turning over the sup
plies to the army post there. He said i.
II expect the world will be surprised
when it knows the amount of gold that
will be brought out of the Klondyke
this year. In my opinion, the first and
second shipments that will come away
around at st Michael's will aggregate
from Sc, OOO, 600 to $50, 900 600"
Mr.. Turner believes the government
appropriation of 100000 for relieving
the Kl0ndyke miners has hardly been
warranted by the results accom- piished,
as relief so far has been extended to no
one in Alaska.
