over, 1T has been we'll known that Aus
tria and France would have been glad
of IN excuse for interference. Conse-
quently disaster and disgrace would
have been the result to this country if
there had been an unwise beginning of
the war.
Probably no man in all this land has
been so really anxious for a movement
ION to Cuba" as Gen. Miles. The inva-
sion of Cuba has been on his mind ever
since war was declared. Upon him has
rested the responsibility of conducting
the organization and mobilization of
the army. He has been obliged to over
see all preparations for mastering the
soldiers, for clothing them, for feeding
them, for transporting them on cars and
ships and for making safe landing on
Cuban soil. With all these things on
his mind, while you and l have been
attending to our daily duties, it is safe
to say that be has been more intent on
the invasion of Cuba than all of the ed
itors, writers, public speakers and gen.
eral wranglers for prompt action.
In addition to the responsibility thus
briefly outlined, Gen. Miles has been
obliged to study the internati onal pos
sibilities of failure. If he had been hur-
ried into any false movement, which
might have cost the loss of thousands of
lives and the complete failure of our
cause, the country would never have
forgiven him, anG his brilliant career
would have been ended in disgrace.
With all of these matters weighing up
on his mind do you wonder that he has
given no heed to the clamor crystal
lized in the unreasonable demand that
the army should at once move ION to
Cuba?' 1t is well-known that the So
called "business interests" of the coun-
try opposed the war and endeavored to
control the ad mini tra ton at Washing
ton, but unsuccessfully. The people of
the country believed that there was
ample cause for war in the destruction
of their battleship. So the war really

INVASION OF CUBA.

Especial Washington Letter. !

Among scholars it is generally con-
coded that the best scholarship in the
world has long been found in German
schools of thought and education. Ne

clesiastic, said: German scholarship is

Men who learn their lessons of life
by the experience Of others, as well as
by their own experience, build deep
foundations and lofty superstructures
of intelligence. There is nothing more
true than that we may learn of the fu-
ture by disclosures of the past. This is
but an epitomizing of the truism that
history repeats Itself, in many substan-
tial details.
For the purpose of pointing a moral
and adorning a tale, we may we'll re-
view a bit of our own history, to which
allusion was made in recent letter,
in which it was briefly stated that the
first disaster came to the federal arms
in our late civil war because of the
coined phrase of a great newspaper

which was taken up all over the coun-

Senators, representatives, congress-
men and cabinet ministers constantly

by the house OF representatives, and on

A CARDINALS STORIES.
Some Short Specimens with Which He
Used to Entertain His
Company.

'I'm afraid I can t tell you,," answered
Cardinal Wiseman, on some one asking
the names Of several choice plants on
the table. Il am often as much puzzled
by botanical nomenclature as the old
lady who said she couldn't remember
all the old Latin names; the only two
she had been able to retain were Aurora
Borealis and delirium tremens.' y.
The cardinal thoroughly enjoyed hui
morous stories and often told them at
his table. II have seen Father Faber,"
writes the author of Social Hours with
Celebrities,'' sat the cardinals table,
laugh till the tears rolled down his
face.''
A story which the cardinal enjoyed
much was that Of an Irishman, who,
while taking barge up the Shannon,
was asked what good she had on board,
and answered: Timber and fruit
''What kind Of timber and what sort
of fruit?''
SWELL, an if We must know, the tim
Der is just birch brooms, and the fruit,
well, it's pretaties.'''
An Irishman averred that the habit of
Irish landlords of living outside of Ire
land was the great grievance Ireland
had to complain Of.
"Oh, yes" answered an Englishman,
that's the old stalking horse. I don't
believe in your absentees.''

was prepared to move; long before it
was in condition to cope with the brill
liant generals of the confederucy. The
result was inevitable. The army did OF
go ION to Richmond very far until it
ran up against "Stonewall," a very
steep "Hill' and an invincible Long
street," and the army came streamin 2
back into Washington defeated, de-
moralized, panic-stricken. After that
experience The administration became
deaf to public clamor, and took time
for the accomplishment of its pur-
poses.
Many men and newspapers of the
present day howled and bayed and
yelped ceaselessly: ION to Cuba" but
the Mckinley administration has calm
ly taken it's time to prepare for an on
ward movement which should surely
not be failure, much less a disaster.
Consequently weeks have passed away
while the volunteer army has been sue
cessfully mustered and modified.
Maj. Gen. Miles, commanding the
army, has been severely criticised in
Washington and throughout the coun-
try for not having marched ION to Gu
ba" as soon as war was declared. No
body went SO far as to call him crazy,
but by many he was deemed Inefficient
None Of these things moved him. He
foresaw the strong Notifications and
earthworks, defended by a desperate
soldiery of Spain, under command Of a
shreWd leader, and he would not risk
an invasion of Cuba by force which
might be defeated.
The newspaper writer's and the men
in our cities, towns, villages and ham
lets who have joined in unreasoning de-
mands for an invasion Of Cuba evidently
have not thought OF what the result of
disaster to our army would mean. In
the first place, small army landed in
Cuba would have been attacked by the
combined strength of Gen. Blanco, and
they would have been sent marching
over roads containing concealed mines
of deadly explosives. There would have
been great danger every hour and every
minute, and the likelihood of complete
destruction and humiliation.
Success for the Spanish forces would
have meant the capture Of our arms, am
munition and food supplies; enough to
have lasted the Spaniards long time.
But, worse than that,sa Spanish victory
would q have warranted Spain in request
ing European aid to prevent the con
guest OF her Atlantic possessions. More

THROUGH the car window the en-
l peror nodded reassurin ely to his
mother on the elevated railroad plat
form. Then he turned and smiled gen
tally upon the row of interested faces
across the car. The emperors smile
was all-compelling, and was reflected
from wherever it fell. The guard, who
came in closing the door with bang,
meeting it grinned in friendly reply,
and forgot to hurl at the passengers an
:unlntelligible announcement of the
next stop. 1t is a short run between
stations from Fourteenth street to
Eighth, and on the Eighth street plat

In these upper regions of travel. To this
particular guard the emperor's merry
chances were irresistible. Answering
them he Winked, he even laughed aloud,
and, thus absorbed, he forgot to let his
charge off at Eighth street. At Bleeck-
er street station he carried the en-
peror from the cars, and, as the train
moved away quickly, he shouted an ex-
PLANTATION and request to the man at
the ticket box: but it was unheard in
the din of wheels and gong.
The emperor looked up and down the
platform, and then slowly followed the
crowd downstairs. His reign, by the
way, had not been lengthy. It scarcely
numbered five years. His was the wis
dom of innocence, but not of experience.
He reasoned that there were streets
that led to where his father was, and
people to tel him the way, but he did
not know that the silver piece in his
pocket would carry him back to Eighth

Making a "French' Cheese.

Even in their affairs of the heart
there is a sound, practical side to the
French character sometimes, especially
when the person concerned happens to
hail from some place other than Paris.
where, as all the world knows, frivolity
is the leading characteristic of the ma
tives. An instance in point is found in
the case of a young Frenchwoman who
about a yea ago arrived in this coun-
try. She was the daughter of a ia
nous French cheese maker, and was in
love. The man TO whom she had given
her heart was all that she could desire,
but not SO the papa. He had different
ideas for his daughter. He absolutely
refused to give his consent, but that
did not end matters. The pretty
daughter, after the of the indie
pendent young oma of to-day, took
matters into her own hands. She mar
ried the man of her choice, she came to
America and now she is living in Jer-
sey-and here Is where the practical
side of the love affair comes in-she Is
making cheeses exactly like those de-
licious cheeses made by papa in France.
and she sells them with a genuine
French label.
