WAR AND WHAT LED UP TO IT.


States to view intelligently the real
situation and the causes leading there
to.
For more than three years, says the
Macon Evening News, the people
of Cuba have been fighting for IN
dependence. The people of the United
States have sympathIzed deeply with
them in that struggle.
At the outbreak of the revolution
Februarv u, 1896, General Emilio Cal
LEILA was captain-general of Cuba. He
failed to put down the revolution with
the combined Spanish forces of Cuba
and of Puerto Rico.
He was succeeded by Marshal Mar
tinez Campos, an experienced aud
therefore successful Spanish leader.
Campo5 arrived from Spain with rein
forcements April IS, 1895, and took
charge of the war as captaia-general
Of the island.
September 3, 1895, the provisional
government of the revolution was sue
ceeded by the regularly organized re-
public of Cuba, with Salvador Cisneros
Betancourt as regularly elected presi-
dent.
General Campos strQve to conduct
the war with respectful regard to the
rules of modern warfare: but his sub
ordinate generals opposed hIm in this,
and were guilty Of savage acts of cru
city. Two of them-Generals Bazan
and Salcedo-were dismissed by Gener-
al Campos for barbarity in the field,
and were sent home to Spain.
In February General Campos was
succeeded by General Nicola VaIerlano
Weyler, already known for cruelty and
sayagery as lei Carniceso" (the butch

The Cuban horrors which followed
the arrival of General Weyler never
can be imagined by those who did not

Of THE News heard him say in the joint
debate with General Evans at Hawk
insyille in 1894 that the general was
entitled to no special credit over him
for his war record, because the general
had had an opportunity to fight and he
hadn't; that had the opportunity been
given him he would have fought so
valiantly as to have been left on the
field. The state troops now desire
recruits, and there is no reason why
the governor should not volunteer
and test those fighting qualities he has
been wont to talk about. General
Evans didn't go as a commander-in-
