The specter of DinrIevism

According to the latest intelligence
from Cuba, the annexation sentiment
among the people of the country a
short time ago was widespread and
flourishing, but now we are informed
that there has sprung up feeling of
distrust and suspicion of the American
Administration so strong and violent
as to be simply startling in its mani
festations and results.

has come over him.
The Cuban leaders have been able to
stand suspense and doubt as to the re-
suits of American intervention, and
the esoteric intentions of the Washing
ton authorities in connection with the
Spanish bondholders and Anglo-Ameri-
lean sugar interests. They have even

REFUSE THEIR MONEY.
A Texas Regiment Rebels Against
Its COlored Paymaster.

The War Deartment has just received
notification of peculiar case wherein
the color line has been drawn in the VOL
unteer army The report, which was
filed with Gen. Corbin, announces that
the members of the Second Texas Regi-
ment. made up of young sons of promi-
nent Texas families, have refused to ac-
cept their pay because it was rendered
them by former Congressman John r.
Lynch, prominent Southern colored
man, well known in political circles in
Washington, and at one time Fifth Aud
itor of the Treasury.
Lynch received his appointment as pay
master some time ago and was assigned
to the Second Texas Regiment. There
was considerable dissatisfaction ex-
pressed among the men as well as the
officers at the time, and 1t has culmi-
mated now in the refusal of every man
in the regiment, from the colonel down
to the last private, to accept money from
the hands of Paymaster Lynch.

very difficult to obtain. and when se-

Bickerdyke announced that If she could
have twenty days furlough and trans

ali the milk and eggs that We're need

thought she was crazy if he had ever
known of her being in that condition,
but he respectfully asked how she ex-
peeted to do it. She said that she
would get cows and hens and bring
them back with her, and she did-a
hundred COWS and thousand hens,
gladly donated by friends of the Sani-
tary Commission. The interesting
colony was located on an island in the
Mississippi, and the disgusted dealers
who had been supplying the hospitals
found their custom waited away into
nothingness.
AT another time supplies were badly
needed, and Sherman, for some reason
or other, had not given the necessary
orders. Mother Bickerdyke walked in
upon him one morning and told him
that she could not do her work if she
had nothing to work with. Have

And she got what she wanted.

the present improved methods of trans

Mother Bickerdyke had been in charge
of some of the supplies that went
wrong in this war, she would not have
complained that she couldn't get the
stores to the place where they were
wanted, because there were three
loads of them and she had but one
horse. 1t does look as if the great need
of some of the departments of this
Government were mother-wit-the
kind of sense that any bright, capable
woman develops in the course Of twen-
ty years of housekeeping. Women
have so frequently been obliged to
drive nail with a f1at-iron because
they had no hammers that some of
them have gained a faculty of doing
almost any kind of work with the tools
they happen to have, rather than leave
the work undone. Mother Bickerdyke

Senator Voorhees, lived in the same city;
they were about the same age and both
political leaders. Hanna had been attor-
ney general of the State and filled
number of important offices. His last po-
litical position was that of minister to
Brazil under President Cleveland. Dur
ing the campaign referred to Mr.. Hanna
engaged the services of frst-class or
ganist and choir of about ten voices. He
carried with him a fine organ and at ev-
cry place he made a speech he gave a
full performance with his show. When
Mr. Hanna was not speaking his organist
was making music and the chorus was
adding all the aid 1t possibly could to
the campaign. 1T attracted a great deal
of attention and was said to be the first
organization of the kind ever used in
political contest. Mr.. Hannas speeches
were all right They suited the people.
He was leader of the old-line Democ-
racy. The people, however. did not take
kindly to the musical end of the per-
formance. Whether 1t was the kind of
music rendered or the quantity was never
explicitly made known. At any rate, Mr..
Hanna was defeated, the majority of his
opponent being very large. Mr. Lorimer
may suffer the same fate as did the In
dianian. Mr.. Hannas idea was that the
novelty of the performance and the kind
OF music rendered would attract the at
tention OF the younger people who were
not capable of understanding the political
issues and thereby create sentiment in
his favor.
1t is not probable that Mr. Lorimer
will not exhibit any of the views show
ing the condition of the volunteer soldiers
in the camps. II he were to exhibit a few
views of the sick at Camp AIger, Chick
amauga, and Montauk Point, 1t is safe
to speculate that he will be worse de-
feated than was his predecessor in politi-
cal novelties, the late Bayiiss W. Hanna
After Mr.. Hanna retired from office un-
der President Cleveland, ne bought a
weekly paper at Charlottesville, Indiana
and proceeded to edit. He had a grievance
against great many of the politicians
of the State, and in his paper he roasted
everybody whom he regarded as an enc
my. The result was the paper soon failed
and 1t was not long after that Mr.. Hanna
died. Bayliss w. Hanna was regarded
as one of the most brilliant men that In
diana ever produced. He was a pictur-
esque looking man. He wore his hair
long. much after the style of Gen. Lo-
gan, and t7was as black and as straight
as Logan's.

Send other Commissioners.

|. If the President is too gentle to re-
call the Commissioners who are doing
so much mischief to our interests in
Cuba instead of getting Blanco off the
island, he should send other represen-
tatives down there with authority to
hear all the complaints of Cubans and
TO rectify their wrongs.
There are in the jaiIs of Cuba scores
of political prisoners-innocent ladies
among them-whose offenses against
Spain were abolished by the protocol.
The charges against them are mostly
false. but even where they are not, the
prisoners should have been released
when peace was declared.
To the protests and appeals of these
people, the present Commissioners re-
fuse to listen, asserting that it would

to protect them against injustice and

Blanco is still supreme, that the Amer
leans indorse and support him and
themselves obey all his commands, and
in referring all complaints of ill-treat-
ment TO Blanco himself, who is the
author of them, will be the ruin of all

Nothing could be more significant than
the manner in which the whitewash jour
mails have ignored the report of the COM
mission that investigated the Camp Thom-
as scandals and the sworn testimony of
officers and men that not only condemned
the Boynton apology. but also indorsed
the finding Of the army board and re-
vealed horrors the like Of which have nev-
er been exposed to human eyes. The sick
were allowed to lie in the hot sun, COW
cred only with vermin, and soldiers died
in their tents alone, without doctor or
nurse. and were found only when the
stencil of their decaying bodies made it
impossible to neglect them longer. In the
ghastly light of such tragedies, men and
honest newspapers are rebuked by the hy-
pocritical mercenaries for creating scan

RETURNS FROM DEFEAT.
RumOr Says Secretary Porter May
Tender His Resignation.

Secretary John Addison Porter returned
to the city yesterday afternoon from
Connecticut, where he was defeated in the
State convention for the gubernatorial
nomination.
Mr.. Porter was met at the depot by As
sistant Secretary Courtelyou and drove
to the Arlington Hotel. where he took
apartments. He looked to be in excellent
health and was in good humor when he
arrived at the White House late last
night.
He saw the President, with whom he
was closeted for over two hours. Upon
leaving the President he was questioned
regarding the action of the Connecticut
State convention in rejecting him as a
candidate for the governorship, but re-
fused to discuss the subject.
There was a rumor current last night
to the effect that Mr.. Porter contemplated
handing his resignation TO the President.
This however, he denied.

Why should we deal more gently with

Ter policy until all the reconcentrados are
dead by starvation-some five thousand
starving to death in Havana since the
signing of the protocol-and has made
prohibitive regulations for the landing

aged to keep alive until now. The record
of massacres in Armenia is not more re-

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER II. 1888.
Trouble in the Philippines.

The indications are that Gen. Otis was
premature in advising the Government
that all was serene in the neighbor-
hood of Manila, and that the insur-
gents were retiring peaceably in re-
sponse to his orders to that effect. It
now appears that their evacuation was
rather in the nature of a ruse de
guerre, and that they are concentrat-
ing at Santana, one OF the suburbs of
the city, proposing, as 1t is said, to hold
that point at all costs.
This is annoying enough, but it
seems that it does not represent all the
exasperating features of the situation.
Our dispatches indicate that Artacho,
q treacherous Tagal leader, whom
AguinaIdo once sentenced to death, has
been armed and equipped by the
priests and is leading a force of fifteen
thousand natives against the insurgent
chief. Conditions, therefore, are badly
complicated in our Oriental posses
sions, and the fault is largely. if not
mainly, our own.
AS The Times has continually insist
ed, the trouble, as far as AguinaIdo
and his adherents are concerned, could
have been prevented If Admiral Dew
ey or Gen. Merritt had been instructed
by President Mckinley to assure the
Filipinos that under no circumstances
would they be surrendered to the ven
geance Of Spain. All they have asked
was annexation or a protectorate.
That no American in authority has
been able to promise them either is
sufficient reason why the insurgents
should doubt the honesty of our inten-
military organization for self preserva-
tion. That they feel compelled to do
so is a sinister comment upon the pol
icy of the Administration in appearing
to favor REIMBURSEMENT of most Phil
ippine territory to Spain, whatever
may be its actual intention.
The other deveIopment-that of Ar
tacho's counter insurrection, is a still
graver matter. 1t serves to illustrate
the viciousness of treating official Span
iards anywhere with the consideration
due to civilized men. The truce has
been openly and fiagrantly violated by
the Spanish gunboat which fired upon
and sunk Aguinaldos steamer Baluzan
at Marbate. Such an affront, if offered
to Great Britain or Russia, would re-
suit in the prompt yard-arming of the
offending naval commander. Even the
breaking Of the armistice referred to
is not as bad as the constant efforts
which Spanish officials and clergy in
Manila have made to create difficulties
for the American Government and
forces, and the final impudence of in
PRODUCING arms and ammunition for
fifteen or twenty thousand men, in de-
flance of our authority, is the crowning
act of a course of Spanish treachery
which has marked every hour since the
signing of the Day-Ireland protocol.
Perhaps, as the enemy evidently de-
signs, all these things may serve only
TO commit the Administration more
fully TO the idea of surrendering the
islands However that may be. they
viii not have that effect upon the
American people, who are beginning to
investigation into the conduct of the
Peace as well as of the War Depart
