Belilgerent Rights.

II there is a valid reason why our G ov.
erent should not accord to the insurgents
in Cuba belligerent rights we should like
to hear Of 1t. We have thus far prevented
the fitting ont of fllibustering expeditions,
notwithstanding tho blowing up Of the
battleship Maino, thus sending 266 Of our
brave soldiers Into eternity Without "a mo-
ments warning, and:their pusillanimous
treatment Of the President and his advis-
ers. We cannot see why this policy should
not DO changed. II men onlist to aid III,
Cubans, our Government should not pre-.
vent them doing SO. Longer forbearance
In this respect has ceased to be a virtue.
Spain should police the shores Of
Cuba, and not call on our Gov.
eminent TO aid her. II she should
consider our failure to do so cause OF war
let her declare hostilites and make the
most of such action. Our Government
has too long afforded her aid to do her
cruel work In Cuba, and the blood
of the starving thousands attaches to our
escutcheon. Shame on such want Of nerve
