Editor StovalI Protests.

Another of Mr.. CIeyeIand's most de

buke him. This time it is Editor StOy-
all of The Savannah Press, who protests
against the eX-presidents ponderOus
pIatitudes about the decentralization OF

Cleveland attitude always a full and

only say that he had heard the state

Former IuVaSiOuS.

The invasion Of cuba by American
troops at this time naturally calls Zip
the invasions which have heretofore
been made by American troops in the
past history Of the government.
Research has recently been under
taken in this direction by some able
writer on The st, Louis Globe Demo-
crat, who goes into the matter thorough
w. We take the liberty Of quoting
briefly from the data which he has thus
compiled.
The first dash made by American
troops into foreign territory occurred
during President Jefferson's first admin
isfration in what is known as the war
with Tripol. In this conflict General
William Eaton, one OF the veterans Of
the revolution. who was at that time
American consul at Tunis, led smal
force Of United States marines and ar
tiiIerists, supplemented by Greeks ana
Arabs. over six hundred miles across the
Lbyan desert to Derne, the capital Of
one Of Irip0lis richest provinces. Sue
cess brilliantly crowned the enterprise.
and Derne fell with little resistance.
Next, during the war Of 1872, Ameri-
can troops under Generals Hull and
Harrison invaded Canada with salts
factory results.
In the war with Mexico American
troops under Generals Scott and Taylor
carried the stars and stripes for the
third time into foreign territory, win
ming signal and decisive victories in
almost every battle. As the result
Of the war with Mexico, the domain
Of Texas, which had previously been
admitted into the union, was retained
while several hundred thousand square
miles were added to the area of the re-
public by way Of indemniticati@a.
Such is briefly the record Of invasi0ns
made by American troops up to the
present time, With respect to the pro-
posed invaaiOAs OF Cuba and Porto Rico
it. is likely from present indications that
they viii commend greater interest and
accomplish greater results than any pre-.
yious affair of The kind in the his
tory Of the government. OF course, 1t
is impossible to tell what the future will
bring forth, but enough is known to
warrant the prediction that Cuba and
Porto Rico will soon be rid of the ac-
cursed despotism OF Spain, and that
victory will magnificently crown the in
vasions which are now being made or
are to be made by American troops.

Tndenaities in Former Wars.

With the close of the present war
there VIII come Up for consideration
the question of indemnity, when Spain
VIII find herself compelled 10 dance 10
the music Of whatever tune Uncle sam
will see fit to play at that time While
it IS rather early as yet to discuss this
matter it is pertinent to gather from
the experience OF other nations such
light as will be of service to us when
the question comes 10.
Going back to the war between China
and Great Britain in 1910, the latter
country compelled the former to pay
into It's treasury, by way Of indemnity
for losses incurred. the sum OF $35 ,G00,
GOO. Most Of this was subsequently
paid out to British merchants for ind
vidual property destroyed by China,
On the authority Of some anonymous
writer in The Chicago News who seems
to be well posted on the subject, the
largest indemnity ever eXactcd by one
nation Of another was eXacted by Prus-

Guided among the Industries of Barcelo-
ma are the manufactures Of silks,
wooden stuffs, calicoes, lace, shoes and
firearms.
Malaga is only siNty-two miles west Of
Gibraltar, on the Mediterranean coast.
In 1887 its population aggregated 1884,
600. Malaga is defended by an old
Moo ish fortress, called the Gibralfaro,
which is surrounded by double walls,
but which is not considered by any
means imprcgnable. Malaga is occu-
pied chiefly with the linen, paper, rope,
WOODEN. hat, leather and soap industries,
and it's exports are consequently large.
Malaga was in possession Of the Moors
from ia to 14S7. In 1910 1t was taken
by the French, but surrendered again
in 1912 to Spain.
Cartagena is also situated on the Med
iterranean coast, about one hundred and
fifty miles northeast of Malaga.
Equipped with one of the best harborS
on the Mediterranean, Cartagcna is cap
able of accommodating the largest feet
on the globe. The entrance to the
hacbor Is guarded by a well fortified
island At one time Cartagena was the
chief naval arsenal Of Spain, but that
distinction has since been transferred to
Cadiz. in 1887 the population Of this
seaport aggregated SAIL. It's indus
trial and commercial interests are con-
Siderable though less than those Of
ether Cadiz, Barcelona or Malaga.
OF course, these four exposed cities d.
not represent the entire seaport inter
ests of Spain. There are numerous
towns and villages scattered along the
Atlantic and the Mediterranean. but in
the aggregate they DO not constitute
anything like the combined interests OF
Cadiz, barcelona. Malaga or CarJagena.
If Spain Is not wholly blind to the peril
in which she finds herself placed by
reason Of the proposed expedition OF
Commodore Watson, she will speedily
issue orders for the return Of Admiral

SPANS Utter Eopelessness

There is one Spaniard at least who
seems to be on friendly terms with the
truth and We sincerely respect him for
the courage with which he openly de-
clares his convictions in regard to the
present war This exceptional flower
Of Castilian blood is none other than the
DISTINGUISHED Senior Pi Y Margall,
whose rather odd name is familiar to
most of our readers. In addition to
editing one of the most influential 1e-
publican newspapers of Madrid Senior
ri Margall is otherwise conspicuous
IN the public affairs Of the kingdom.
Commenting recently upon the serious
losses which Spain had encountered in
The present war. Senior ri Margan
declared that Spain had allowed herself
to be deceived r regard to the supposed
weakness of the United States. Most
Of us have laborcd under the impress
sion,' observed he. chat the people or
the United States were shOpkeopers TOO
deeply immersed III commercial affairs to
waste any time upon matters of honor
or to wage war with serious intent. We
have been apparently blind to the fact
that the people Of the United states
have successfully Waged two vars With
Great Britain and one with Mexico. be-
sides contonding among themselves from
1861 to 1865 in one of the greatest con-
fcts Of modern times" Such is the
pungent manner in which this Outsp2k
en- and fearless republican leader up
braids Spain for allowing herself to he
deceived in REGARD to facts which ought
to have been perfectly familiar TO eye,v
schoolboy in the kingdom Somewhat
in the same vein he continued: I'VE
have even been advised 10 invade she
enomy's country Suppose this were easy
to do. what could We get? In the war
Of 1872 Great Britain undertook to in
wade the United States. and succeeded
in gaining possession Of Washington:
but later on she was utterly defeated
and compelled to sign the treaty Of
Client With 70O0G000 Of people the
United States is more capable than ever
before Of exhibiting that p.o"ess in
Which she has heretofore eXcallad al
most every nation on the glo1e." This
is strong language, and coming from
one of the ablest popular leaders of ne
kingdom, it cannot fail to impress upon
Spain some rem0rscful estimate Of the
folly into which she has stopped in
failing to settle by arbitration the is-
sues which SHE has relegated to the
sword Senior I'i MargaII is appar-
emily satisfied that Spain cannot posi-
bly, win out in the present fight and that
in Justice to herself she ought to seek
without delay to end the struggle "hicA

powerful countries of Europe-Great
Britain and R0ssia-haye openly avoWed
their Friendship for the United States,
and that such being true it would be
in vain for Spain to look for any ma
tolial assistance from any direction.
We admire the STRAIGHTFORWARD man
ncr in which Senior n y Margall speaks
the unvarnished truth, bat with such
prorliyties we fear that he must feel
dreadully lonesome in spain
